Chapter 196: Audition

At 12:30 pm I arrived at Brentwood station and departed the train station.

Brentwood was the closest place to Hutton with a train station and getting to the surface, I took a cab straight for Hutton.

It was close to 1 o'clock by the time I got to the town and reaching the location where Mike and Bettany had dropped the last time, I highlighted the cab.

"Thanks," I said to the driver, watching him drive off and then observing my surroundings.

The last time I was here, several scrutinizing eyes had been attracted to my presence, but this time I felt just few eyes pass over my figure and then ignore it.

"Time to get searching."

"Echo"

It was a long shot, but if there was any place Mike and Bettany were going to go into hiding after the events at the Hyde Park tunnel, it was going to be here.

There was a chance that they another safe spot in some other town or city, but they coming back to Hutton was my big bet and the reason for that was because of Mike's last attack on me.

The man had sought to cripple and hospitalize me and given how he and Bettany had agreed that I was a bedstone of secrets it only made sense he hurt me and not try to end me if he knew he would be coming back to Hutton and decided to make me a package how would pick up after his mission.

I had no idea how Bettany had been able to pick up on my presence last time, and though I wanted to take the same route which the couple had taken last time, I was wary of encountering not just them but the rest of their gang.

If I spotted the curly-haired man here in Hutton, I planned to trunk on my heels and bolt out of the town as fast as possible.

I really hoped it didn't get to that though as this was likely the best chance I would have to deal with Mike.

If I failed to end the man, then I might as well just run back to US, get everyone and head to the mountains as Valera had once suggested.

An hour passed with me discreetly scouting the route the couple had previously followed and finding nothing.

For my search, I used echo at a range of 600 meters and after finding nothing I headed for the only hospital in Hutton, Queens Hospital.

I had kept the map I had gotten from Bettany and as I moved, I used it to navigate my way through the calm quiet streets of the town.

I was thinking I would have to use Echo on a much wider scale and risk passing out when my next search found me one of my targets.

Quickly heading to her location, a few steps from it, my eyes scanned the building she was in and then I looked to the building far opposite it which was actually Queens hospital.

"How convenient for them."

Moving closer to the building and stopping just by the side, I stared at the religious statues depicting Mary and other saints through its glass wall and cocked my head.

This same sort of religious shop was Mike had been using as the base for his drug business in Colorado, I wondered if this shop was another front for him.

"Echo"

I observed the all the figured inside the shop, satisfied when Bettany was the only familiar person in it, but I was confused though as other than a normal storage room and a small office, the shop had no other room, particularly a room filed with a group of men and what could be drugs.

Putting my hand in the pocket of my tracksuit, I walked into the shop

Ding!!

The door rang as I walked past it, and counting three customers browsing through the items in the shop, I headed for the counter at the end.

"Good morning, sir, how may I help you."

"Good morning, I want to see the manager."

"We don't have a manager here Sir. I'm the one in charge though how can I help you."

I frowned at the lady's reply observing her with mind vision to make sure she was no threat.

"Then who is in the office" I pointed at the door to the side behind the counter.

"No one "The lady replied her eyes narrowing at me and then her voice hardened.

"Do you want something sir."

"I want to see the lady in there."

The lady's eyes widened at my words, and then they brightened.

"Are you here for the audition?"

I heard her words, but in no mood for her questions, I placed my hand on the counter and jumped over it.

Backing away from me, the lady rushed for the office and without haste I followed behind her.

Seconds after she went into the office, I went in, walking in on her still struggling to explain my presence.

With her petite body, Bettany sat cross-legged on a cush office chair behind a cleared desk a magazine in her hand a bottle and glass of wine on the table.

Ignoring the panicked shopkeeper Bettany turned towards the door and seeing me, a long smile appeared on her face.

Lifting a finger she silenced the sales girl and licked her lips, her eyes stripping me naked.

"So this is how it feels to be ogled by a pervert."

"Marcus" Bettany called, revealing to me that her three teeth which I had knocked out had been restored and she invited me further into her office with her finger.

Two steps into the office and I was already standing before the desk.

"Yanis, you can leave"

The salesgirl hearing Bettany's words nodded her head and bolted, leaving just me and the witch in the office.

"How did you find out about my audition,"

"What audition"

The shopkeeper had mentioned it to me earlier and now I wondered what Bettany was up to.

"The audition to join my harem. I started today by putting up advertisements and posters for it at several brothels and nightclubs."

"I see"

"It's funny that not only are you the first member of my harem but also the first person to come for an audition." She chuckled and then paused.

"Wait, you're already a member you can't audition"

Bettany face palmed as she made this realization and silently watched her.

"Are you bipolar?"

"Hmm, no why would you think that."

"Bocaue you're behaving like you didn't stab me in the back the last time we met."

Huh, aren't you here because you missed my pussy and so came to surrender."

"No"

"You came back to challenge us," Bettany asked surprised.

"To kill you both actually"

The woman balked at my words for some seconds and then she burst out laughing.

"Are you a moron, have you not figured out that Mike and I could have ended you in seconds if we wanted to."

"Spell breaker"

I did not reply to Bettany with words but rather with a shotgun that appeared in my hand and was pointed right at her face,

"Where is Marcus."
