Chapter 930 Someone On The Inside
The pack of four werewolves were continuing to run through the streets of Slough. Every once in a while, Gary couldn’t help but stray from the path to the hospital to help a few others.
A lot of people had been injured, and he helped them get on their way, or there were even those that were trapped under some broken rubble that he could hear the cries of.
On top of that, there were just those that were too frightened to leave their homes, fearing that whatever was happening was still ongoing outside, and Gary needed to make sure to reassure them that it was okay.
Nearly everyone in the city recognized him, the infamous business tycoon that had propped Slough up, as well as the retired AFA fighter, and recently a person who was sent to the White Rose prison, but no one asked questions about that, and just thanked him as they left.
As they were getting closer to the hospital, in the middle of the street Gary had spotted ash-grey hair below.
“Is that… it is.” Gary said.
He turned his head over to the other two that were keeping up with them. Park was holding onto Crawley while Kevin was following from behind.
With Olivia over his shoulder, he walked over and passed her onto Kevin.
“She’s not too heavy for you right, now that you're super strong and all.”
Kevin shook his head. 𝔣𝔯𝖊𝔢𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝖔𝔪
“Take her to the hospital for me, make sure she’s okay, and make sure someone called Tom looks over her as well. I’ll be there as soon as I can.” Gary said.
Kai, seeing who it was, had done the same, passing Marie to Park. With their strength, carrying two and heading to the hospital wouldn’t have been too much of a big deal.
After that, both Kai and Gary jumped from one of the lower rooftops and landed on the ground. The loud sound made the woman on the street jolt.
“What in the… wait, Gary, you're here!”
The woman with ash-grey hair rushed over and immediately gave Gary a big hug, holding onto him tightly.
“Hey…I smell quite bad right now.” Gary said, his entire face heating up.
“Do you really think I care about that right now.” Xin said as she pulled away. “I couldn’t believe what happened, how you got taken away and what happened to this city…but I saw what happened, you saved it Gary, you managed to do it again.”
Gary was thinking back to when all of this started. He was having a nice meal with Xin, and had decided to tell her everything, he let it out in the open, and she still supported him with it all.
“So what happened, how did you get out?” Xin asked.
Kai was quite interested in this as well.
“It’s a long story, let’s head to the hospital and I’ll tell you.” Gary said.
Explaining the story, Gary went through the details of how the one known as Blackjack, as well as Ice helped him. The battle that he had against the warden, and finally when breaking out, the White Rose agents that had managed to help them at the end.
It was because of all of these he had finally gotten out, but because of it, it was most likely the White Rose would still be after him.
“The public opinion matters a lot to White Rose.” Kai explained. “The livestream that AJ started, if they try to arrest you again, there is a good chance they could lose complete favor so they won’t be coming back anytime soon. It’s good that so many people helped you.”
”You're right.” Gary replied. “Those at the White Rose, other than Elijah, I still don’t know their full reason for helping me, I never found out, but because of it, it’s possible that they could be in big danger. After helping out Slough, helping them might be the first course of action I need to take…or at least get an update to know if they’re okay.”
Kai was trying to rack things up in his head. Lupus, Inferno City, along with the Altered Hunters and the White Rose, they even had NIRV on their back slightly for what they had done, after Slough what was their course of action.
“I can see this is bothering you.” Xin said. “You know, my brother used to be pretty close with someone at White Rose, I think he was semi high ranking or something like that. I could get him to check on them for you…if we can get in contact with him.”
Another memory had then popped into Gary’s head. After explaining to Xin about who he was, and what he did. She had asked him a favor, to help find out what was going on with her brother.
Thinking about that, Gary wanted to help Xin, as she had helped him and was sure she had helped in the matters of Slough while he was away.
On the rest of the walk, it looked as if Xin wanted to say a few more things, but kept it quiet, figuring there would be a lot to explain when he had gotten to the hospital.
When arriving at the site, it was quite clear that there had been fighting and destruction here as well. There was a queue of people lining up to enter the front of the large building.
While tents had been set up, and public supplies used on patients being treated outside. Some of them were council workers. Xin was happy to see her father was keeping to his promise of helping out the others.
Once entering, Gary had taken the elevator, and reached the top floor and had been taken to a certain room.
“Is this where Austin is meant to be?” Gary asked.
“Austin, why would you see that big meat loaf, it’s more important you meet someone else first.” Xin said as she pushed Gary and the door slid open.
Inside the room, White and Amy were standing by a hospital bed, and in the hospital bed itself, there was one more, a person that had brought tears to Gary’s eyes.
“Mom…”
