Chapter 43 Preparing to play tag with a demon (1/2)
”Sir did you just say that we could use weapons in a game of tag?” Rachel asked hoping that she had heard wrongly. Alex was the only one who felt like that handicap wasn't enough to level the playing field.
”Yup it doesn't matter what you use, I don't think you kids will be able to hit me anyway. Also if you're scared of actually killing me don't be. I'm pretty sure that girl Evangeline told you that I'm a special existence in this school, so no matter what happens even in the case of my death you would not be the ones at fault. It would be judged as a suicide instead of homicide... So feel free to use anything... If you're still hesitating well that's your problem not mine. So do we have a deal?” Lyner looked at the group impatiently, as he waited for their answer.
Oliver and the others could actually see how impatient Lyner was getting looked at each other for a brief moment. With no words spoken the group could somehow see the resolution in each of their eyes. 'It's just a game of tag what's the worse that could happen?' These were the thoughts of the majority of the members.
”Deal.” Oliver responded for the entire group.
”Nice, the lot of you start preparing, I'll be waiting for you at the front gates at exactly seven o'clock, you should be here on time. If not all of you are here at exactly seven o'clock you guys will be losing by forfeit, and without even trying I would win.” After explaining the rules Lyner went back to his position he was in awhile ago before the group entered. He then proceeded to lay down, and start sleeping.
...
Alex separated from the group and started preparing on his own. The target this time was highly skilled so Alex needed to prepare thoroughly. That would mean he needed a background check on Lyner. Alex hesitated for brief moment before calling his dad again. Alex like usual needed to rely on his father for a quick info gathering.
Carlo who was also preparing for his own mission of finding the psycho who ordered the attack on him was busy communicating with his former squad, when he received Alex's call.
”What do you need Alex?”
When Alex call got connected, he told Carlo the experience he had with Lyner. Carlo was intrigued, someone who could make Alex feel danger must be of some renown. Carlo told Alex he would call back after investigating a bit.
Alex then started to double check all the cameras he placed around the school the other day. He then proceeded to scout the best sniping positions. Alex would have to wait for the other students to leave at six, before placing traps.
When Alex was checking the whole school grounds and analyzing the battleground, he received a call from his father. It actually took his father an hour before calling back. That would mean Lyner's information was not really open to the public.
”Alex you've gotten yourself a big fish this time. At first I tried to look at the schools registry to see the full name of you teacher Lyner, but he wasn't registered as a teacher in that school. He wasn't even registered as a citizen of this country, its like his whole data was wiped out. I then started to ask some buddies of mine in the government, and what I got was shocking news.”
