"I found him on my way to the bathroom. Apparently, I was right all along especially with the negative feelings I was having.'' Drew said.
"Oh damn man! You're bleeding on the nose.'' Killian said.
"Forget about that, I'll deal with it as soon as I'm done with this idiot.'' Drew said.
Drew rose to his feet, towering over the attacker who moved back in fear. He knew he was scared but he was putting on a brave front just for show.
"For the last time, who sent you?" Drew thundered.
"Even though you threaten to kill me, I will never reveal the secrets of the great master.'' the attacker said.
Drew was confused by this. He had never heard anything about this great master, in all of his years he hadn't been as confused as he felt now.
"I think you need a little care.'' Killian grinned.
He rose to his feet, bringing out a small metal clamp from the side of his suitcase. This was what all their attackers needed and Drew had no doubt that he would start talking soon.
"Alright... Alright, I'll tell you what you need to know.'' the attacker stammered.
"Good, start talking then.''Jack said.
"I was sent by the great master Jed.'' he said.
There was dead silence at the resting area of the plane. Drew and his friends stood still, trying to wrap their heads around what he was saying.
"Is this a joke or what? Jed died at the battle ground right?'" Drew thundered.
The attacker chuckled, sitting up. He swiped his mouth that was filled with blood as he grinned maniacally.
"Oh no, far from it. The great master isn't dead, just resting.'' he said.
"He died by my hands. Look here, if you're joking about this I advise you to stop because the repercussions wouldn't be nice.'' Drew growled.
"I can never lie about this. Trust me, the great master is alive and he's dwelling with the demon pack ``. he said.
At that moment, Drew met his friend's eyes and he knew what they were thinking as that was the same thing they were thinking about.
"We have a big problem.''Jack whispered.
Drew nodded, returning his attention back to the attacker who had a gleeful look in his eyes. Drew knew he was proud to say that his master was still alive and he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"What do they plan to do?" Drew asked.
"I'm not at liberty to say that,'' he said.
"Look buddy, you've been cooperating since. Let's not divert to the ugly side of this conversation because you and I know that it wouldn't end well.'' Drew said.
"And if you still want to be stubborn, I'll have no other choice to eject you out of the plane. So, choose what side you want to be on.'' Jack said.
"But they'll kill me.'' the attacker croaked.
"That's if we don't kill you first. Now, answer the goddamn question.'' Killian thundered.
"They... They are planning an attack on the whole city, it's going to be the biggest, one of the biggest in fact and they have the backing of the army chief. The master and his son will destroy this city and finally reign forever.'' he said.
"I'm not surprised. The bastard we sold our guns to ended up betraying us, boss we need to take him out.''Jack said.
"We will... All in due time, let's finish we what we have on our plate first.'' Drew said.
"You guys don't understand it. You really can't go against these people, they've become stronger than the last time you battled them.'' the attacker said.
"I think we have a fat chance especially since we're determined.'' Killian said.
"That's not all though.'' the attacker said.
"What else is there to say?" Jack asked.
"The great master and his son have hired a new pack of fighters who support their cause.'' he said.
"And who are these people?" Killian asked.
"They are normal looking people who go about their different businesses but they're recruits and agents for the great master and his son.'' he said.
"Anyone we need to know?" Jack asked.
"Yes, your pilot is on their payroll".
***************************
Drew ordered Killian to tie the hands of the attacker. They had gotten what they needed from him and all that was left for them to do was to lure the pilot outback. The problem there was that he was the only one flying the plane. The copilot who should have assisted him came down with the flu over the weekend and was unable to fly.
"Drew, let me go in and intercept him then take over the plane, that's the only thing we can do now.'' Jack said.
"That's too dangerous. What if he's armed?" Killian said.
"You're forgetting what I can do. I'm armed too and if he puts up a fight, I'll show him the stuff I'm made of.'' Jack said.
"Alright, you can go in but be careful. Don't hesitate to defend yourself at all cost.'' Drew said.
Jack nodded before walking toward the cockpit. He pulled open the door silently before going in, his gun tucked behind him.
"You'll never succeed with this, you know that?" the attacker spat.
Drew dealt him a heavy blow which sent him flying backwards. His head hit the wall and he was out cold within minutes.
"Damn, you've got a temper.'' Killian chuckled.
"A temper that's backed with substance. I can't wait to end Jed and his son once again. I really don't know how he escaped.'' Drew said.
"I'm sure it was just by a sheer stroke of fate. But not to worry, since he's alive, he'll die a second death.'' Killian said.
Just then, Jack walked in dragging an unconscious pilot. There was a slight gash on his chin and Drew knew he had a fight before he could overpower the pilot.
"Gave you a tough time?'' Drew asked.
"You bet. Did you know he's a demon?" Jack said.
"What!"Killian shouted.
"Demon? How? I didn't know?'' Drew seethed.
Jack raised the pilot's arm to reveal a small tattoo that was synonymous to everyone who belonged to the demon pack.
"Why didn't I know this all along.'' Drew said.
"Apparently, he's been hiding his true form from you and also his scent. That's the reason why you couldn't pick up on his scent ever since.''Jack said.
He dragged the pilot to lie beside the attacker who was still out cold from the blow he received earlier. Drew was glad about what they did, now they could focus on more important things that were top on their list.
****************************
"Who's driving the plane?'' Killian asked.
"Relax, it's on autopilot.'' Jack chuckled.
"Good thinking man. Now, we have to look for a way to find these people and deal with them. The way I see it, an attack is imminent and the earlier we deal with this, the better for us.'' Drew said.
"The thing is we don't even know where they are. Our only known address is Netherland and that's where Alpha Jed and his son are.'' Killian said.
"There's a connection somewhere, I'm quite sure of it. We haven't found it yet that's why.'' Drew said.
"What's the army chief's country?"Jack asked.
"We know damn well that it's the US of A.'' Drew said.
"Oh right, sorry it must have slipped my mind.'' he chuckled.
Later on, Jack safely landed the plane at the Paris airport. Before they got to the airport, Drew and Killian had revived the two attackers only for them to be tied again.
"You'll never get away with this. The great master and the demon leader will get you for this.'' the pilot seethed.
"Too bad I'm going to get away with it and you'll be going down with them by the time I'm done with you.'' Drew thundered.
Killian and Jack dragged them out of the plane towards a waiting van that would take them straight to a safehouse nobody knew about
They got there soon as they dragged the duo in, keeping them shut behind a huge iron bar that prevented them from shifting.
"And to think I trusted you.'' Drew said.
For a minute, shame flashed through the eyes of the pilot before it returned to the same hostile look Drew was used to now.
"The money they offered was too tempting to refuse so I had to bend.'' he muttered.
Drew stared at him with disgust as he tried to reign down on the feeling of disgust he had for both of them.
"Trust isn't a word anymore.'' Killian said.
"Did you search for them?" Drew asked.
He couldn't have them escaping when he had succeeded in capturing them. He was going to deal with them but first, he had to interrogate them.
Drew dragged a seat, placing it in front of the attackers. He was flanked by Jack and Killian who stood behind him, looking down menacingly at the men.
"It's time for a little interrogation boys.'' Drew chuckled.
"I don't want to talk.'' the pilot said.
"I'll advise you to do that if you don't want to get bathed in acid.''Jack smiled.
To buttress his claim, Killian brought out a jar of the poisonous substance from a side drawer. It was one of the poisons they had taken from their last raid on Alpha Jed's house.
"And I don't think I need to tell you what this beauty does to you demons.'' Drew smiled.
He was glad to see the look of fear on their faces as they scampered back, trying to put some distance between themselves and their archenemy.
"What do you want to know.'' the pilot sighed.
"Good. Very good, now you're talking. I want to know everything there is to know about this attack.'' Drew said.
"The details are still sketchy to me but I'm convinced that the attack will take place soon and in this city.'' the pilot said.
"Asides his son and Jed, who else is in on it?" Drew asked.
"Alpha Jed and his son, they are the only people in on it.'' he said.
"They are not her parents in case you didn't know.'' Drew seethed.
"I knew all along, I'm not surprised.'' the other attacker said.
"What do you mean?" Jack asked.
"The news is everywhere and that's one of the things Jed is going to use against you.'' the pilot said.
Drew was expecting this and he was ready to take them down one after the other.
