114 McGrath and Dynn: Part 14 (2/2)

She jumped inside the water and started diving down on that river while watching at the oxygen level of the tank. She needed to make sure to have enough oxygen so she could reach the sea safely.

Patrick: ”Two hours swim. The rebreather should be more than enough.”

She immediately breathed in the air from the rebreather. The water would obstruct the soldiers' vision since the water was cold. The waist computer on her wrist said that she had ten hours of O2 supply.

She continued swimming on the dark river while she tracked Lynn with the tracker that was injected into her body. It seemed that he was taken outside of the town according to the tracker.

Patrick: ”Airstrike inbound.”

Multiple explosions could be heard from afar. Patrick bombed the special force soldiers' car with A-G missiles. He wanted to make a good distraction so the soldiers would divide their attention to him instead of Clara that was escaping.

She noticed that pieces of walls were falling down into the river. Now Clara wondered whether Patrick bombed the whole school complex or not, but she had no idea. Patrick was one of the former students there, so he knew the realities there.

Clara continued swimming as she held her APS assault rifle on her hands. She would use it in case someone decided to pursue her from behind. The water outlet was 30 kilometers away. She had a lot of distance to cover.

Saturday, 6th of December 2020. Trinity high school. 0300 hours. Beach located near the water outlet.

Patrick was waiting near his car in a military uniform. He was wearing a woodland camo pattern with a face paint so no one would recognize him. Clara approached the beach with her scuba gear.

”How's the swim?” Patrick asked as Clara approached Lynn's car.

”It was long. Where's the jet and why are you wearing woodland?” Clara asked.

”Well, for starter, when I said that I wanted to divide your attention. I just carpet-bombed the whole school and left the dormitory standing. After that, I teleported to the ground and ambushed the spec-ops soldiers,” Patrick said as he showed some of the bullets that hit his bulletproof vest.

”Hmm, so you want to cover me? Ok, but why Lynn's car is here?” Clara asked as she released her scuba gear.

”It's obvious, isn't it? Her car is expensive as fuck,” Patrick said as he looked at Clara. He knew that she was hiding something from him, but he had a vague idea about what happened.

Patrick hummed, ”Let me guess, that death seeker come up with a crazy plan and asked for your cooperation?”

”Huh? How did you know?” Clara was surprised by that statement.

”Lynn and death are like something that can't be separated at all. I'm her boyfriend, why should I don't know that?” Patrick said as he interrogated Lynn.

Clara sighed, ”Well, Lynn has one personal request, but I have no idea why.”

”Sure, what was Lynn's request?” Patrick asked. He just hoped that Lynn's request wasn't that complicated.

”He wants Lizeth to rescue her,” Clara said.

Patrick's face clearly showed that his reaction was, ”What the fuck? Why?”

”I don't know. She said that you must finish something that you started,” Clara said as Patrick scratched his head.

”Ok, I respect her request, but where is she?” Patrick asked.

”Idk, the tracker hasn't stopped moving yet,” Clara said as she showed the location on her waist computer.

”I see. Well, contact me once you have formulated a good enough plan. I'll see you later,” Patrick said as he opened Lynn's car and drove away from that beach. Clara was now alone with her scuba gear, ”gee, now where should I live?” Clara spawned her car.

The beach was quite empty and no one would spot a car in the middle of the beach. Clara decided to just sleep in the car for that night since she didn't have any place to return.
