Chapter 70

Angels never gets killed.

They just gets replaced by another one.

Just like that, Louis lost one but got another in exchange right away as he was surpassing the hate for this criminal when Louis silently yet gently dragged the handcuffed man among the policemen whose stares were not comfortable at all, whereas on the either side, the chained man was worried. Marquis was worried for her as leaving her alone at this place along with them, wasn't safe. He never liked this department as his mind was totally circled by hate when he knew about the people like them who acts as a hero or protectors in front of the society but are completely opposite from behind. His hatred ranked number one whenever this department was discussed as he was aware already by the danger that, if he left her here all alone? These policemen will simply get hold over her as his weakness.

Louis walked towards Marquis's car as the owner of it simply followed him when the officer opened the door of the driver's seat and later stood awaiting, just to convey few words.

"Call the ambulance and get his body to the nearest hospital. I'll be there soon." Louis ordered while staring the lifeless figure of Seth being on the ground, even after trying so hard to control himself but his voice was not helping him at all when he felt a lump in his throat already whenever thinking to the fact that his best friend left this world already.

Marquis was standing silently at the other side of the when as his guilt was eating him out, as he doesn't even knew how those prayers of her mother was protecting them both as the answers of her mother's prayers were being these two other people. One, who was silently suffering but could not protect her with all of the strength and the second, instead of perishing him all over? He was fighting with the world, actually for this man right here, whereas on the other side, she was also still desperately praying for his protection inside her heart.

Louis took a glance at Marquis who had his head low along with his shoulders slouched as his stare later diverted towards the girl who too was scared from all of this time.

"Yenail." Louis called her out in his deep voice and Marquis's head lifted right after listening her name when he got alerted for the thing already that, if Louis did try to act all strange once again? He would be ready to beat him this time, even through breaking the metal handcuffs as he wasn't afraid at all. "Do you want to come with us or you'll go to the hospital? The choice is yours." Louis asserted when his gaze fixated on her small figure standing at a distance whereas all of a sudden, Marquis also turned to know her answer while being curious.

"I'll meet you guys after." Yenail informed him while curiously giving a bite to her bottom lip.

"I'll inform you." Louis said.

"But how!" She furiously asked right away. "I don't have a phone."

Louis thought silently while being dumbfounded. "Oh. Yes."

"You can have mine." While speaking so politely yet gently that Marquis interrupted their conversation when later he slightly twirled his body and allowed Louis to gain the access of his pockets when his hands pointed towards his left. "It's in this one."

Louis approached him and took his phone as Marquis's posture straightened after few minutes, when later that he reached her and handed over the phone while informing. "Keep it. I'll call."

After receiving a nod from her, Louis returned towards the car as his figure soon entered the vehicle whereas, Marquis's curious puppy eyes were fixed on her figure as he was dying to have her soon. She walked towards him when he kept on staring his love and later that her smile healed him immediately from the inside when he also parted his lips slightly, telling her already that he was missing that taste. His taste buds were thriving to taste those soft lips of hers when she caught the expressions that he was showing as her hand later caressed his face, making him lean into her palm, surely that her touch melted him when he missed it from so long.

"Be careful." Marquis's cuffed paws held her hand and he pecked the back of it, when currently his stare was being the most admirable yet the most protecting thing that he could provide her at the moment.

"Hm. I will. Don't worry." She smiled as later, with a heavy heart that he made a turn and opened the door of the seat aside the driver's one and got inside, when she closed the door and they both shared one last stare before Louis pulled out the car.

The car ride went on silently when both of the males weren't feeling like talking as Marquis's chest became hollow along with a mind so blank when his heart was being surrounded by nothing else but her. He doesn't wanted to start any kind of conversation whereas, Louis was too feeling so down than ever as his heart was also clenching from the inside after losing the only guy so close to himself whom that he had in his life after his one elder brother and elder sister. Louis was also feeling kind of pissed off at the moment when the other officers sent a protocol for him which was actually for another person beside him as they thought that the smuggler or the criminal will going to slip away from their grip. The escort was strong with two vehicles being at the front whereas other three present at the back, along with another two S.W.A.T. jeeps which were loaded with heavy weapons, when they all surrounded the car that Louis was driving. On the other hand, Marquis just quietly had his head leaned against the window.

Louis let escaped an annoying grunt when he thought of knocking that protocol but he simply could not do that thing as it will going to result an accident. The car was equipped with N2O already as the nitrous purge that Marquis had in his fastest car, in order to climb heavy situations like these but simply, Louis wasn't Marquis. After driving for a mile or two, the car stopped in front of a building labelled as "High Court" where, after seeing the heavy protocol, everyone got alerted as the people who scattered around the area, stared the car and later their sights got distracted by several policemen who left their vehicles soon after few moments and stood aside them with guns held by their hands. The men in black who were being other secret agents which were sent by the team, were also captivating the eyes of other people when they also held guns along with black shades decorating their faces, whereas the two males still had themselves sat inside the car when Louis turned his head towards another dull man beside him and later asked while being in utter curiosity when his hands still gripped the wheel.

"Still. Are you sure?" The other male simply yet silently nodded when he could not do anything else but to surrender himself as Marquis was willing to have punishments for the sins that he has done from so long when later, he just heaved a sigh. "Alright." Louis admitted when he stepped out of the car and the protocol went alerted.

After him, the criminal also appeared in front of them soon and the protocol went double alerted after his presence, when while being handcuffed that he stood straight yet still. Marquis stared everything in front of him when his eyes showed no emotions in them at all. His injured state was refined finely and his mind was completely concentrated towards just one thing as he wasn't even thinking of running away from there. No more bribing. No more cruel plans. No more runaways. Yet, no more bad intentions when he simply surrendered himself. True that she was being the most powerful magic done to him. He simply never expected this all to happen as this change was somehow healing him when he felt peace for the first time in his hell. She turned his hell into heaven, his killing thorns into delicate soft feathers when his dark clouded thunderstorm life was welcomed by a forever rainbow and simply, Marquis took these all hardships that were happening with him right now, as dangerous punishments, whereas on the either side, these were taken as excerpt yet strengths which were also training him actually for the battlefield itself.

They say when love let you feel the thorns by grabbing the stem of the rose? It surely shows you another way to treat with its petals too.

Just when Marquis took a deep breath along with a sigh after closing his eyes, her image immediately came right in front of him when he was willing to end this all so soon while being safe and sound and go back to her. A hand was being placed over his shoulder which made him slowly open his eyes and he stared the ground. Louis was being the one who took few steps forward and the protocol alerted as later they surrounded Marquis so immediately while he was having his head low. Louis was warming up mentally when he was building words which will going to co-operate Marquis's case. All of The High Court was alerted after the news of Marquis being here, scattered like a fire in a jungle.

\- "That's him! Marquis Lunard!"

\- "The criminal who ate our daughters."

\- "My wife was kidnapped the day we were about to celebrate our anniversary."

\- "He destroyed all those innocent angels for no reason at all!"

\- "What does he ever gained with that?"

\- "Ruthless! Surrendering after having all the fun? What a player."

\- "Heaven isn't that cheap though."

\- "Huh! He should hang up. He deserves death."

\- "Death too. But, with severe pain before that."

Loads of hateful yet discriminated comments were showering upon Marquis's dragged figure which that the policemen were harshly dragging among the corridor by grabbing him from both of his arms, whereas him on the either side, he simply became a silent puppet to them when Louis also quietly yet worriedly watched the whole scene happening in front of him. They threw him in one of their cells which contained those thick yet bold metals bars than the usual ones, as he trembled a little after entering inside along with his face already stuffed with dull yet dead features, which were surely hidden by the dark locks that fell over his forehead and covered his eyes further ahead as they still didn't open the handcuffs. He felt all banished when truly he was feeling like that at the moment but her love was supporting him. While the sun was grazing through the clouds as it was evening already but not Marquis could see all that as now, he was being surrounded by.... pitch black darkness.

Marquis silently walked towards the darkest corner of the cell while still being handcuffed when he turned and his back touched the wall behind himself as he slipped down supporting himself by that, later slowly sitting on the floor when he dug his face between his palms. To Louis, it looked like as if he was being a new born baby to this cruel world, all cleared from any kind of crimes when it completely broke Louis all over after knowing and seeing how that he was acting all opposite. He believed him now when so hurriedly that Louis does a rapid turn as he thought about hiring a lawyer soon to fight the case.

They dragged his dead body on the patient's bed when the doctor got to know already that the man had no life remained inside himself as after checking the nerves, the doctor told about the man being dead already whereas she talked with the nurses of the hospital to put his body in the frozen section until someone would be arriving soon for whom that she was still waiting as they simply allowed her to do so, when after they put the body of Seth in the frozen section of dead bodies, Yenail waited impatiently for Louis to arrive soon and also that she prayed for Marquis when she sat upon one of the metal chair that the hospital's corridor had for the people.

"Mom, please. You're near to God. I pray for Marquis's protection."
