.Finally, the first man nodded his head reluctantly.The second, still-cloaked man about-faced and resolutely stepped forward while the first man followed, moving slowly through the still-parted lines of commandos.The commandos shrank back as he neared, still pointing shaking weapons at him.The cloaked man pointed within the midst of the cowering crowd.Except for the twisting of heads, no one moved.The man continued to speak.For some reason, the picture blurred.Before anyone could protest, it slowly returned to focus, and the boys and Brian could see the cloaked man point an indistinguishable object towards the crowd of people.He swung the shimmering object downward and to the front of his hostages.He reached towards the crowd.Derek’s voice cut in as the video image froze.“Ladies and gentleman, this is not for the faint of heart.If there are children in the room, please have them leave.”Casey rolled his eyes.“Moron.”The video sprang back to life.Monson, Casey, Artorius, Brian and anyone else watching gasped in horror as the cloaked man grabbed a girl in her early teens from the crowd.A women, presumably her mother, fastened herself to the child, and though her protest was silent in the video feed, it clearly communicated her pleading to all those who watched.The cloaked man struck the woman with the hand holding his shimmering object.Visible liquid sprayed from the woman’s face as she tumbled to the ground.She did not get up.The cloaked man brought the young woman into his arms, holding the object to her throat.His arm started to move-Several things happened in quick succession.First, at the corner of the screen, a person jumped from the middle of the hostages.He moved with blinding speed towards the cloaked man holding the girl.The people in his way did not faze him;.They glanced off his stride like an invisible bulldozer had thrust them aside.From among the confused commandos, a literal whirlwind appeared, tossing people, chairs and weapons in every direction away from the cloaked man.The first man stood, sharply distinguished in the churning air.He stepped forward towards the cloaked man.The last scene played in slow motion before the video went black: The three boys and Brian stared on as the cloaked man brought his arm sharply across the young girl’s throat.The first man ran headlong into the second just as the second dropped the girl.The impact was accompanied by more bright light and then blackness.Just before the blackness Monson caught the profile of the first man…it was Marques Grey.Casey hit the mute button before Derek could start talking again.Words did not come easily.What could be said? Those events were out of a dream.No, dream was too kind a word.It was a nightmare.That scene was a living nightmare.Casey spoke first, finally ending the silence.“How’s it possible that this is just now coming up?”Brian replied softly.“I may be mistaken, but I believe that this is the area of the bridge that was almost completely destroyed.The roundabout,” he gestured with his hands forming a circle, “is where this ceremony was taking place and I daresay it was obliterated and sank into the ocean within minutes of this very recording.That fact may have delayed the release of the recording.”Artorius asked the question that came to everyone’s mind.“If that’s true, Brian, and this is a legit recording and not some outrageous fake, then how did a d-bag like Derek get ahold of it? Shouldn’t this be on the bottom of the ocean with everything else?”“That’s not a question we can answer, Arthur.” Casey spoke quietly, shaking his head.“I suppose we could try to beat it out of Derek-”Casey threw his arms up around his head.He continued his thought.“I mean, Derek is due for a good beating.Two birds, one stone?”Casey’s rueful smile told Monson that he was only half-serious.“Grey,” Artorius’ sounded concerned.“Are you OK?”Monson answered in the affirmative.“Yeah, I think I’m alright [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
