Chapter 506 - 506: They Cant Escape (1/2)
If Erick wanted to finish this as soon as possible, then Alfonso would satisfy his wants since he was thinking that this was just a consolation for him to be with his beloved woman before both of them would die.
'It's just a matter of time, the Chief Detective and an International Reporter will die in our own hands. What a loving couple, even in death, they will be together,' Alfonso thought to himself.
”Alright, let's do this exchange now. On my go signal, we will let the two of them walk, the scientist will go to my side and your beloved woman will go to your side as well.” Alfonso suggested to them.
”Okay,” Erick responded.
He glanced at Mr. Carter one last time. Mr. Carter nodded at him and gave him a reassuring smile as if telling him that everything would just be fine.
Soon, Alfonso gave his signal. Mr. Carter and Elle started walking toward the opposing sides. The distance between Erick and Alfonso were about 8 meters apart. Everyone's attention was focused on the two people walking in the middle, one was walking to Erick's side while the other one was walking to Alfonso's side.
Elle and Mr. Carter both stopped in the middle. She grabbed that chance to hug Mr. Carter for a few seconds. The Dark Knight men were alerted at first, but after seeing them just hugging each other, Alfonso and his team eased up a little.
They didn't see nor notice it but Elle whispered something to Mr. Carter. They were still hugging each other when suddenly a few Dark Knight men started to collapse on their spots, some were holding their stomachs and some were holding their heads.
”Hey, what's going on here?” Alfonso asked his team. ”Wait, what is that smell? Did you just fart?” Alfonso complained.
Some answered him.
”Boss, My stomach hurts!”
”I feel dizzy.”
”Why do I feel like my surroundings are spinning?”
Dark Knight men and Alfonso were distracted for a few moments. Elle knew that this would happen. This was the cue she was waiting for.
”Mr. Carter, run. Let's run to Erick's side now!” Elle said to Mr. Carter with urgency.
At first, Mr. Carter had no idea what's going on the Dark Knight's side. He just followed Elle's advice. He trusted her. Without further ado, Elle and Mr. Carter ran toward Erick.
Erick's eyes widened in surprise when he saw Elle and Mr. Carter started to run, coming to his side. He immediately picked up his gun, to take cover for them. He glanced at Alfonso and the other men who seemed like they were experiencing some discomfort.
After a few seconds, one member of the Dark Knight noticed them. ”The scientist and the reporter are running toward the detective.”
They were about to open fire when Alfonso stopped them right away.
