Chapter 78
Edna
The two groups of people stormed into the alley I was in.
I don't want to even imagine how the whole scene would look like to the new arrivals. I was the only conscious person here.
Two bodies laid near me. There was no way I would be able to wash any accusation away.
The group with unknown members stared at me. There was a very complicated expression on their faces. It was obvious that they might know me. No, it was obvious that they might know the lady I was pretending to be.
The silver mask on my face must be familiar to people that knew Morgan.
The group containing the people from Mr Blake's mansion walked closer.
"Hi, have you seen any lady like this?" The person leading the group from Mr Blake's mansion presented a huge tablet.
This person was the guard I met at the gate of Mr Blake's mansion.
He almost shoved the tablet in my face. I recognized the people on the screen.
There were three different pictures.
One picture showed Madeline. The other picture showed Aisha and the last one was my original face. These people were careful.
It seems my method had been exposed.
I shook my head, "I haven't seen anyone like that."
Even after I stated my stance, the two groups didn't leave. I don't know if the men under Mr Blake's control was suspecting me or something. They stared at me with disbelief and distrust.
"We are going to take your word for it but before we go, we would like to ask for a favor. Can you remove the mask on your face?" Mr Blake's guard asked.
I knew why they were requesting this. If the fact that a stranger might lie was set aside,
it was clear that my overall figure was similar to the person they were looking for.
Mr Blake obviously didn't want to leave any stone unturned in his search for me.
I felt like I could even imagine how angry he would be from my successful escape.
I was so thankful for the deal I made with Morgan.
Her mask was a tool that would prevent me from getting caught. I can imagine my future if I had decided to do it alone or rejected the deal she proposed.
Mr Blake's influence was obviously large. As long as I was still in this city, he would find me sooner or later. Escaping was just a pipe dream.
Fortunately, I met Morgan. She made everything easier.
I didn't hesitate. My hand touched my mask and I removed it in one move. I looked at the group filled with Mr Blake's people expressionlessly.
"Are you guys satisfied now? I told you I don't know who you are looking for. I haven't seen who you are searching for and I am not the person you are looking for too." I deadpanned.noveldrama
The guard at the lead observed my face for a moment.
He looked back at the two bodies on the ground. He walked to the unconscious thug.
His eyes observed the thug closely. His hand landed on the thug's chest before leaning down to check the thug's breathing.
"This thug is not dead." He announced.
I heaved a sigh of relief. I was very thankful for the guard's discovery.
When Morgan zapped the thug, I thought he had gone over to the afterlife.
"If I don't not explain myself clearly, it is obvious that you guys are not going to leave me alone." I started, "I don't have anything to do with these two people on the floor. I don't know how the thug fainted and I don't know how this lady died."
'I am sorry.' I apologized towards Morgan mentally.
If I didn't do this, I might get entangled with these two groups of people. As I waste
more time here, everything will start to go in a strange direction.
The guard from Mr Blake's group walked over to where Morgan was.
He checked her body, "This one is dead."
I rolled my eyes.
'Thank you genius.'
Then, it clicked.
I realized why the group that had been sent by Mr Blake was still here.
The clothes on Morgan was the one I used to escape from Mr Blake's house. It was indeed very suspicions to see a person with a different face and the same clothes I
wore.
"Truly, you might not have anything to do with this gruesome wounds on this lady but you are still very suspicious. You have to follow us to the police station." The guard said.
I shook my head.
That was exactly what I didn't want. Firstly, I don't have any identification to show I lived in this place.
Secondly, anything that deals with the government or law enforcement was the beginning of a panic attack for me. I wasn't in the right state to visit any police station. Many things were suspicious about me. That will just be suicide.
"No, I am not going to the police station. I have said what I said. I didn't know anything about these two people. I came into this alley to hide. I won't be blamed for this." I said.
The guard looked at me with a deadpan face.
"You don't have any choice in this matter." He said.
I looked towards the unknown group of people.
For Morgan to hide away in this alley, she must have been pursued by something or some people. I suspected that this second group of people might be the group chasing Morgan.
I wasn't sure yet but my guess might not be so far from the truth.
"I am a member of Blings theater thrope, you can't detain me without consulting with
the bosses of my theater thrope first." I argueed.
Finally, a man stepped out from the second group of people.
He looked at the guard, "I am so sorry for any inconvenience our member has cost you. Please, can you let this go?"
"No, I am sorry. As a proud member of this city, we must do our dues. She has to go to the police station." The guard refused.
He whipped out his phone and tapped a few digits. He didn't try to capture me by himself.
My body was tense.
