Chapter 8 Death
3 months ago in Salt Lake city
"We have to kill her for the vaccine", Marlene stated.
"You're telling me this why?", Even asked in response "It's not like my opinion matters in this choice".
"I thought you should know", Marlene replied.
"If there's one person that should know it's mum".
"So you're okay with it?".
"I don't have any kind of connection with her it doesn't really matter to me if she dies".
"Very well", Marlene said and then left.
"It matters to dad. That's the only reason why I could possibly care", Even said a loud as a tear slide down his cheek he then heard footsteps coming down the hallway so he quickly wiped his tears.
"Something the matter?", Charles asked with a smug look.
"The fuck do want Charles".
"You should get back to work".
"You don't order me around", Even said walking up to Charles.
"How dare you-".
"How dare I what?", Even asked with a murderous glare.
"If Marlene finds out about this behaviour", Charles threatened.
"But she won't will she", Even stated Charles then walked away "Fucking pig".
A few hours later
Marlene was inside a room with a guard and the smuggler waiting for him too wake up so that she could interrogate him Even was outside on leaning on a wall on could hear them arguing loudly.
"What are you doing?", Jason asked Even just shrugged his shoulders.
"Don't you have work to do?". Even asked.
"Just came to check on you, don't need to be such an asshole".
"Yeah well, you should be used to that by now".
"Right. Well I gotta go out of the city with some others, don't do anything stupid ", Jason replied
"I should give that advice to you", Even replied and Jason then walked away Even then saw Marlene exit the room but she didn't seem to notice him, the smuggler then walked out with a guard pointing a pistol in his back.
"So that's him", Even stated and then saw the guard shot three times "I hated that guy anyway", Even stated "So you wanna play that game? I can play that game", Even said and then pulled out his radio "Smuggler killed Harry, on his way to operating room", Even said into the radio and then started moving toward the stairs until he saw a dead someone lying on the floor with blood coming out of their stomach, he then walked up to the person and then realised it was his mum "Mum", Even said as he grabbed her hand.
"Even I want you.. to do me.. one last thing", Even's mum said.
"What?".
"Make sure that Ellie …gets out of here.. alive".
"Why?", Even thought because he couldn't get any words out.
"We've done a lot of shitty things..if she's happy I'll feel a little better.. so will your dad. Please".
"Alright", Even replied his mother's hand the slipped out of his own and tears then began to fall on to her body "Why? It's alway her. First dad now this. So be it", Even thought then wiped his tears "Fuck all of you", Even said then walked away from his mother's body and went into the surveillance room and saw the smuggler in the parking lot talking to Marlene "Shit", he said then left for the parking lot. When he arrived there he had just saw Marlene get shoot in the head he went outside to see where the smuggler would take her, he then saw the car he took drive on the north highway which lead to the north of salt lake city "Smuggler sighted taking the southern highway with the girl", Even said into a radio "I did as you asked mum".
A week later
"Shouldn't they be back yet?", Even asked one of his subordinates.
"Yes sir, however we haven't heard any reports about them".
"Don't call me sir, that title isn't fit for someone like me".
"Why's that?".
"I'm not leader material and you know that too Jerry".
"But everyone wants you to be".
"Why?".
"After your mum you're the next person Marlene would trust, and we don't want Charles as our leader".
"She only trusts me cuz of my dad".
"Whatever the reason, you're the person everyone would like to be leader".
"Thanks for the pep talk Jerry", Even said then thought for a moment "Go send a search party out to the to the Airport, they've likely taken refuge there".
"Yes sir", Jerry said then left.
"That'll by me some time. They're probably dead anyway and if they are there then great", Even said then started walking towards his "Time I leave this place".
