The Adventures of the
God Squad
Episode 71 "A Quest for a Thief"
Part 2
As the soldiers approached us Noah grabbed the detonator and pushed the button which caused the bombs to go off, the soldiers shot him to his death. I knelt down and wept for me dear friend, but the guards took me by the soldiers and dragged me to my cell where I didn't speak for 2 days. The 3rd day of my detention, my guard came to my cell and unlocked the gate and took me to a room where Death was waiting for me at a long table. I was seated to his left and Lurk was seated at his right, but he wasn't cuffed. "I see you have met my Lurk. You see your friend Lurk, is actually, my friend Lurk." he said chuckling.
(Theme Song)
"I have a proposition for you Yvan. I am willing to spare your life if you will act as sergeant for my coronel Red Night here. You will be under his command and will obey every order and if you disobey, you will be killed by a bomb we planted in your neck. What do you say?" he asked. My heart burned in hatred that Death would even hope that I would join his ranks and I replied "I'd rather eat shit and die than join you and your barbaric crusade!" I was thrown back into my cell and was scheduled to be killed by Death at first light of the next day. The guard began to joke and said "Heh, guess I won't have to watch out for you once you dead, won't I Yv..." he gasped as Lurk slipped his neck!
"Why did you come back?" I asked him. (Flashback) Lurk's wife had been killed by Death, but his daughter survived the murder and he headed back home to her. When he opened the door, his daughter Sarah jumped up into his arms and said "Daddy you're home!" "Of course I am. Have I ever not come back home?" he asked smiling and she smiled and shook her head. "I'm so glad your home daddy. I would want to die if you didn't come home, and mommy would too." She said smiling, but Lurk's smile disappeared and he told Sarah to go back to her room. He began to think and think, until he felt something deep down in his heart which told him to get me out of there, so my wife could great her husband in her arms again. Just like Lurk did with his wife a few years ago.
(Back to present) "It's a long story, but that's not important now. I have to get you out of here and we don't have much time." He replied. "No, it is important. Why did you come back?" I demanded to know. He explained how his daughter reminded him of his wife and how much she would miss him if he died instead of her and then he thought of me and Anna. "I don't want the same thing to happen to your wife what happened to me. Can we go now." He asked. I was shocked, but agreed and we made our way through a shaft where he took the lead. In the shaft he told me "Once we get out and I get my reward, we split ways forever got it?" he asked. "Agreed, but first we need to get out of here." I replied.
Lurk heard something up ahead, and crawled forward allowing me to crawl through a shaft going to the right. He told me that he would create a distraction while I would crawl through the other vent, unheard by the guards. He continued through the shaft and entered the room and began to speak to the guards while I crawled through the shaft that was on the right of the room. Once I informed him that I was through, he took out the guards by surprise and headed to the next room. I had already gotten halfway through the shaft in the next room, and there was a small gate where I could see the room. When Lurk opened the room, there were 60 guards and Red Night already waiting for him!
"You thought that this little scheme would go unnoticed? Where is Yvan Choly?" he asked demandingly. Lurk smiled, threw a smoke bomb and ran back into the shaft where he entered and closed it. The guards searched, and could find him, but Night knew where to look. He shot a slug through the shaft and it was about to hit Lurk, but he quickly slithered into the shaft I went into and dodged the slug, but played dead. Night saw the body and chuckled and ordered his body removed. Once the guards and Night were gone, Lurk got to the other side of the shaft and made his way to the computer room and began to delete the formula files. Just as they just about to be ready to delete, Death entered the room and point a blaster at Lurk "Step away from my formula!" he demanded. "It's not yours." Lurk said with a sly smile as he pushed the button and deleted the files. Death shot, but missed and the two fought. Lurk was easily dodging Death's attacks because of his strange fighting style and soon Death was at Lurk's mercy!
Lurk grabbed Death by the chest and said "This is for what you did to her!" he said as he threw Death through the glass window into the room below which looked like a dungeon-arena. Lurk activated the self destruct of the facility and left Death in there and escaped. As I flew through the streets to get back to my castle I noticed a figure on a flagpole in black waving to me. I smiled and picked him up and took him to the facility. I paid him his reward and he was about to walk through the door, but he said "Hey Yvan. I take back what I said about us splitting ways. If you need my help any other times, just...give me a call." He said as he threw a phone to me.
Lurk made his way back home and again was greeted by his daughter as she asked "What did you bring this time daddy?" Lurk smiled and took his daughter outside and told her to close her eyes. "You can open them now." He said as she opened her eyes to 6 trucks over stashed with money, and a new jet, plus crates of weapons! Sarah screamed in excitement and squeezed her father as tightly as she could. "Does this mean you won't have to steal anymore? Will you stay with me all day and play?" she asked. "Yes. Daddy still has a bit of work to do though, but I will be home almost all day now. I promise." He replied. She smiled and putting out her pinky "Promise?" Lurk joined his pinky with hers and replied "Promise".
