Chapter 18: LOST PT.1

Our car just broke down and Isaac is checking if he could still fix it. I got bored inside the car so I decided to roam around but something felt weird.

And those pursues how can they disappear just like that? We were going on a straight road; Isaac couldn't have shaken them off just like that.

I tapped my earpiece and as expected, there's no network here. Am I just thinking too much or was it just pure coincidence?

Just in case, I pressed the distress signal that Isaac put in me before, the question is would they still receive it despite the network? That would test how great Caliber Mafia's intel and devices are.

Anyway, since I gave Hudson a mission I'm sure he'll find out I'm missing when he notices his gadget couldn't reach me.

Speaking of which, Isaac is coming back with a frustrated look on his face. Looks like he couldn't fix it after all.

"We need to find shelter before it hits nightfall, let's go," Isaac said before locking his car and getting all the necessary things he needed.

Well, I for one have everything I need in my bag including all the weapons I would need. SMIRK.

I followed Isaac while inspecting the area. There could be traps here if we're not careful. But we reached the end of the woods and I didn't notice anything weird.

Well aside from the point that there's a network here now. Was it their intention to lead us to that place?

Considering there's no network there we'll need to find a place where there is, and this place falls perfectly with my deduction.

Anyway, we'll find out soon if I notice anything out of the ordinary in this village.

I walked cautiously beside Isaac as we entered the village. Well, it looks pretty normal on the outside, but how about the people?

After walking for some time, we came across the village's wet market.

Isaac was busy looking all over the place so I took the leverage to ask a civilian.

"Hi, do you know a place to stay in for the next few days?"

"Oh my, tourists?"

Tourists? What's there to tour here? It's not even worth looking at.

"You could call it that," I answered and gave her a half smile.

She wiped her hands on her apron and said, "We got the perfect place for you. Where's your companion?"

Companion? How did she know about that? I didn't tell her I had one in the first place. This person is suspicious.

I smiled and led her to where I left Isaac. "Baby! This lady said she knows a place for us to stay!" I said and eyed Isaac when he looked at me in surprise. I signaled him to just go with the flow.

"Oh my! Such a handsome young lad, are you two together?"

"This man is my husband, ma'am, just got married a few weeks ago," I said and smiled sweetly as I clung my arms to Isaac. I felt him flinch but let's talk about that later.

"How lovely! Anyhow, let's go before it gets dark. People here are quite sensitive to noises at night so I suggest you both keep it down later okay?" The lady said before walking away.

What the bloody fuck? What does she think we'll do later?!

I heard Isaac fake coughed so I let go of his arms and followed the lady without even looking at him.

" How cute, " Did he just say I'm cute?!

The corner of my eyes crinkled as I looked back at him. But Isaac was quick to look away. I snarled at him before looking away.

The lady led us to an inn, this place was in the center of the village. How peculiar was that intended? So, they could monitor our every move?

Isaac paid the lady a hefty amount of money, he said he'd scout the area so I headed inside to check the room.

And my hunch didn't fail me, I saw listening devices and hidden cameras. They weren't easy to find so I searched every nook and scrawny of this place. I found five listening devices and ten hidden cameras in total.

I don't know who planned this but they did hide it pretty well, but nothing can escape from me Tch.

I tapped my earpiece and contacted Hudson but I couldn't seem to reach him. What the bloody hell is that punk doing?

My senses tingled when I heard Isaac coming in. Something was really weird; didn't he notice anything?

What's that behind his ear? It looks like the same listening device I found here.

So, I took my chances and jumped on his waist. He looked at me in surprise and was frozen in shock.

But that was the least of my concerns, I moved my face closer to his face and checked the thing in his ear and I was right.

I was about to grab it when his hand stopped me.

"What are you doing?" He asked coldly.

"What is that? Can I take a look at it?" I said with the sweetest voice I could make.

But Isaac's brow drew together and slowly pushed me down. "You should sleep, I'll keep watch."

So, everything comes to him. Did he plan this? But why would he put listening devices and hidden cameras here when he's here with me?

What's your plan Isaac Blaze Trazona? Do you plan to kill me in this place? Is that why the network disappeared right after we entered this inn? So, I couldn't ask anyone for help?

Everything still doesn't come to pieces but I'll be watching you. I pretended to be asleep to see what he'd do and my intuition didn't fail me.

Ten minutes after I closed my eyes I heard Isaac leaving the inn. I opened one eye and roved inside the room.

The lights were off but I could clearly see two silhouettes outside. It looks like they're arguing about something. I can't hear anything they're saying since it's too far.

But I did put a listening device of my own on Isaac earlier. I turned it on and heard...

**"Kill her," **
