Chapter 9: Manuel Verga
The trio slowly headed through the corridors having left the labs trashed and torched. They kept their handguns drawn and moved carefully, Kyle and Angela standing a little closer to each other than necessary for the situation, simply put they didn't want to be separated again. As they reached the bend in the corridor they heard shouts in Mexican Spanish, it was the Ganados, they had been waiting for them. The Ganado charged, at least four of them were Dr. Salvador's, quickly opening fire the battle began. Soon the Dr. Salvador's were the last ones standing, they advanced, chainsaws raised, the trio opened fire on the madmen and soon killed them. After reloading and continuing to advance, Kyle found himself wondering.
'Who the hell is this S.S, what do they want, why did they help us?'
He sighed and decided not to worry about it, Angela was right, they were reunited and that was all that mattered. They continued down the corridors, a few Ganados were also walking the corridors but luckily they were able to kill most of them by stealth attacks with their knives, attacking from behind and slitting the throats, saving on ammunition. As they approached the end of a corridor that lead into a large underground arena, they stopped and took cover near the entrance, they looked inside and saw the remaining two terrorist leaders were there, Angela had told Kyle about Fernando Gomez but this was their first glimpse of Manuel Verga.
Manuel Verga was forty-six with short, slicked back brown hair that was going grey at the temples, he also had dark brown eyes and like Ramon he had the tired skin of a Caucasian living in the Mexican heat, there were also at least three old scars on face that looked like they had once been major injuries, the other scars were smaller. He was six foot three and weighed seventy-one point five kilos. He was also dressed rather unusually, like some sort of businessman. A pair of black trousers, a plain black shirt, a dark blue tie, black socks and black polished shoes. Even if he wasn't a terrorist the clothes would've been odd due to the climate, even down here, obviously several feet below ground, the heat was still obvious. The clothes Manuel was wearing would surely be the last outfit someone would want to wear in such heat. Manuel seemed angry at something and was talking angrily to Fernando, Kyle and the others strained their ears, trying to hear.
"I'm sure you are aware Fernando, that Ramon is dead," He growled at his subordinate.
Fernando looked confused for a moment.
"Dead, then the Plagas will save him," He remarked, uncertain.
Manuel exploded.
"Fool! That stab wound given to him by the agent he brought in here was deep, it awakened his Plagas!" He bellowed, "He tried to kill that female agent, but the two male agents showed up and killed him, his Plagas is destroyed!"
Fernando looked shocked.
"Sir."
Manuel however continued his rant.
"I can't believe this, you let his stupidity get the better of him. I ordered you to control him and make sure he didn't go out of line." He yelled, "Yet you foolishly chose to let the girl live, you should've killed her, then we could've killed the two males without distraction."
"I thought we could use her as a bargaining tool." Fernando tried to explain.
Manuel shook his head.
"We do not bargain with the BSAA! You have failed me and now you've brought the enemy into our home!" He roared, "Worse still I hear that our labs have been destroyed, we've lost all our work with the Plagas Sample, I now have to talk to our benefactor and get him to send me more samples, thanks to your blundering, we're back to square one!"
That caught the hidden trio's attention, Manuel had a benefactor who had given him the Plagas Sample, they had to find out who this benefactor was, it sounded like the benefactor was the person who had originally created the Plagas sample and gave it to the terrorists, just then Fernando tried to speak but Manuel cut across him.
"Sir I..."
"Shut up, I don't want to hear another word out of you! You've caused me so many problems now, what's to be done." He growled menacingly.
Fernando stood silently for a minute until he spoke.
"I don't know," He replied.
Manuel nodded slowly.
"I do."
He then pulled out a revolver and pointed it at Fernando's head and pulled the trigger, he fell to the ground and Manuel smirked.
"That is the price for failure." He remarked before laughing.
With that Manuel turned and left the arena.
The trio hurried out and ran into the arena, they looked around and then prepared themselves to follow Manuel, just then the sound of coughing got their attention, Fernando was alive, just barely.
"It's hopeless...you can't...get to him..." He choked out.
Angela was closest to him so she knelt down and examined the wound.
"You're dying, you still have a chance to make up for all of this," She told him.
Fernando laughed harshly before coughing and continuing.
"He's...gone to...the throne room...He and I...are the...only one...who...have keys...to the room...take...mine..."
He handed Angela the throne room key and then his head dropped to the ground and he lay dead. Kyle looked at the body for a minute.
'Maybe the Plagas in him is dead, or just awakening slower,' He thought, worried, 'Anyway we gotta hurry, one target left, gotta interrogate and eliminate him.'
After returning to the group Angela nodded and, all prepared they headed down the corridor that Manuel had gone down earlier, determined to get their answers.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
