Chapter 261 - Instructions (1/2)
That's right, Laz just strolled right up to the front door and started yelling,
”OYH. Open up. I'm hungry and horny and I heard this is the best place for both. YOOHOO! ANYONE HOME? HELLO?!?!?!” Laz was using his most annoying and loudest voice possible, projecting it not only into the building, but also around towards the people in hiding along the street.
Those who were watching from the shadows weren't sure whether to laugh at this idiot or to inform their higher ups about this. As they were told, any unusual movement should be reported. But none of them wanted to be the one to report a day drunk individual yelling at the building.
As Laz continued to yell, he was annoying people so much that they were tempted to call marked police to come and take care of him when the doors suddenly opened and a woman walked out.
To the people watching, this was the task that they were being paid for and so they tried to take pictures of the person who came out, only to find that due to their relaxing at Laz's earlier actions of being an idiot, they ended up missing their chance. Laz, seeing the person come out, just yelled,
”It's about damn time. Let's do this,” and dragged the young, surprised woman inside before shutting the doors.
Everyone who was watching was flabbergasted at the turn of events. They were stationed around here by the children of god to watch the place and report any information they could on the comings and goings of the people inside, only to have found when they got here that the place was closed.
'Ok, fine. We are getting paid one way or another so we will just sit here and wait.'
So when the first person walked up to the building and knocked on the door, no one answered and they just walked away, the people watching the building had taken pictures of them.
And the next person.
And the next person.
And the two after that.
The one after that just took a piss on the side of the building before walking away.
And after that, they just lost interest in the people approaching the building and stopped taking pictures. If there was nothing to report, what was the point?
”We got a picture of all of these people...”
”How long were they inside for?”
”None of them made it inside...”
”THEN DON'T F.U.C.K.I.N.G CONTACT ME...”
No one was dumb enough to do that.
So when the drunkard walked up and started yelling at the building, they just figured he would eventually get tired of it and walk away, so they all returned to looking at cell phones or doing whatever else they were doing. They weren't exactly professionals.
Hence why every single one of them was dumbfounded when this person made their way inside. Although none of them had taken a picture, they immediately reported it.
”That was probably a ruse to get himself inside. Fine. See if you can get a picture when he comes out. I will send someone over to stop him and see what we can get from him.”
The call hung up without any other instructions, but the people watching were having a bad feeling based on the flatness of the person's tone. They were only the lowest of underlings in the church and therefore, understood that they were expendable. Anyone who had spent any time in the church knew that failure ended up badly.
But what could they do?
...
Inside, Laz finished dragging the girl into the main lobby area only to see Freya sitting on her throne like chair. Whether she was there originally or she had heard Laz's voice, he didn't know. But either way, Laz got the impression that she was in a bad mood.
”Trouble eh?”
”You seem like your gloating?”
”Gloating no... But I did ask for your help in this and you said no. Now trouble is on your doorstep so I feel like my chances of cooperation just went up slightly,” Laz replied with a smile. He understood as soon as he figured out that they were being monitored that something had changed and that something was big.
”That's gloating.”
”Well, whatever. Honestly, they are weaklings you could just get rid of if you so chose. But they are still out there, alive and kicking. That's the real interesting part.”
”And so what if I do get rid of them? Not only would they just send more, but that would put more pressure on us. And besides, for everyone that we notice, who knows how many are hidden, just waiting to take advantage of us doing something like that as an excuse to raid the building.”
”Hmm. That does make sense.”
”I told you before that I couldn't help you because I had to take into consideration everyone under me. That thought still stands. But now it seems like no matter what I do, they are going to be involving us. I heard about what happened with you and the council and I must say, that was not only fast but effective. Still, it seems like too little too late now that your people are being rounded up,” Freya said with a sigh. She had seen the reports and knew that several of her girls, mostly new ones, had been taken too. But what could she do about it? The children of god were no longer working alone and unless she wanted to take on the armed members of government who had joined hands with them, she had no choice but to leave those girls to her fate.
She really was not happy. Too much had changed too quickly.
”Well, I'm not sure what happened, but I can make a guess,” Laz said as he was thinking to himself.
”Oh?”
”If they are out there now, watching you, they must be either worried about something or looking for something. Since we know they took actual infected, I'm guessing that they are looking for more energy, quickly.”
