My Werewolf System

chapter-257
Without a doubt, Amy could tell that she was being followed.
‘If I turn around now, they will know that I know that I'm being followed. … please just let me be overly paranoid, but I need to make sure.’ The high school girl thought to herself.
At the moment, she was on a quiet street. A residential area rather than the main street, but she could see that there was a family at a crossing not too far away. Hurrying herself but not making it too obvious, she eventually found herself waiting at the crossing with them.
When the man turned green, she crossed the road, and while looking left and right for a second, she could see a glimpse of someone that wasn't too far behind her.
‘This is too much of a coincidence to cross with us at the same time? They have to be following me, but why? Don’t they already know where I live? Do they plan to kidnap me again, to get Gary to come to them?’At the moment she was staying close to the family as she walked, and perhaps because of her panicked state she didn't realise it, but the family she was following was one that lived in the same apartment block area, she had seen them before. Normally this would have been a good thing, but with the situation Amy was in, she would be leading them right to where they wanted.
Looking around, she wanted to see if there were others, but there weren't any.
‘Shit... if I keep following them, then they will follow me until I'm home… so what do I do?’
It was then that Amy decided to try and shake them off. Maybe she was being paranoid, and went to the next crossing and waited.
‘We're still on the same street, so if I cross from one side of the road to another, and they do the same, then they’re definitely following me…’
The thing was in the middle of her walk across the street, she could hear the clacking behind her, and the fear had gotten to the young girl. She could no longer keep it in, her legs started to move before she knew it.
She was sprinting across the street, and when making it to the other side, and looking behind, she could see a man in a suit running as well.‘No, no, no!’
Amy ran for her life, ran as fast as she could, not worrying if she would tire out or not. She wanted to get her phone out, but not being the best runner, she was afraid taking it out would only slow her down.
‘Run, I have to run, my legs need to move faster!’ These thoughts were just repeating in her head and she couldn't think straight. However, her mind was clear enough to think one thing, to not run towards her home.
Still, as she continued to run straight not knowing where she was going, and refusing to go down an alleyway to make it easier for her to attack her to get her in a secret place, she eventually was slowing down.
‘I have to call someone..the police, but they won;t know where I am…Gary..I promised him I would let him know whenever I was in trouble!’
Her legs were hurting and so was her side, and finally he had come to a stop. Taking a large gasp of air, she took out her phone and looked behind her… but there was no one.
‘What the… was I imagining things?’ Amy thought.
——
Not too far from where Amy's position was, down one of the many allies she had run past, there was a man in a suit on the ground. His lip was busted, bleeding, and there was fear in his eyes as two of them approached him.
“You know, when I was given this job, I was sure it would just be a waste of time. ‘Who would be interested in such an innocent looking girl? Surely nothing will happen.’ However, I’m not exactly in a position where I can just let things play out…” A woman spoke as she dug her high heel into the chest of the man on the ground.
The poor man started screaming in pain, as the woman started twisting and turning it, but the next second, he was gagged by two other men, while a third one was blocking the hallway.
“I thought about it... if they asked me to look after that girl, then she must be important and unfortunately for you, I decided to come myself. So now tell me two things, what gang do you belong to... and why were you following her? It’s your choice if you want to make this nice and easy… or if you want us to ‘convince’ you to talk. Feel free to choose the latter, but I guarantee you, the latter option will make death seem like your only escape.” Olivia said, with a big smile.
Still worried about his sister, Gary had asked Kai to make sure she would be protected, just in case. Since the upperclassman had been busy today, he had naturally delegated this task to their newly recruited reinforcement. However, even he hadn’t expected for the Lady Boss to go out personally.
They had been staying away from her, thinking nothing would happen. After all, they didn't know who this girl was, or what her relation to the Howlers gang, yet Olivia had been told that this was an ‘order’ from Gary. As such, part of her told her that she had to give it her best.
Muffled grunts and screams filled the alleyway as Olivia and her men did their work, and eventually she had gotten every single bit of information she could from the man. Unfortunately, it turned out that he was as clueless as they were. Cleaning the blood from her hands, the woman looked off into the distance, down the street.
‘So the Grey Elephants were the ones who hired this guy, the question is why would a big time gang be after a girl like her? And what relation does this all have to do with the Howlers?’
‘On top of that, if they wanted to do something, they could have done it themselves. They have gone to a lot of trouble to hire someone else to do their dirty work… You Howlers seem to already have your share of trouble with you. I guess this might be exciting after all.’
Walking through the street where the others were, there was a man with a leather jacket and sunglasses. Smiling away and looking ahead.
‘So they have protection on the girl, and if my eyes aren't deceiving me, that woman was Olivia Pearl, the leader of the Pincers. … although according to the rumours it would be the former leader. Seeing how she has come out personally, it seems there has to be some truth behind it all.
‘Now, why have the Howlers gone through all this trouble to hire guards to protect this girl? That is interesting. Very interesting.’ Raven smiled.
