Fate's Dark Side Chapter 655

~Leo~

I noticed the van taking the women back to Mountain, rushing through the bumps on the road. The road out of Brentwood was bumpy, so we were close to them.

I wondered what the chaos was about. We had just been victorious on the battlefield. Why were they speeding?

"What is going on?" I linked Amelia. The van was close enough for me to reach her.

"Mirable is badly injured. We have stabilised her, but we have to get to Mountain in time," She replied, and I was worried.

The only reason Timothy was still hanging on was because of his granddaughter. She was the only relative he had left. I wished the man had left with her instead of telling her to remain with us. Mirabel did not know our routine, so she was bound to get hurt.

"Tell the Kappa to hurry once you get on the good road; we will catch up," I linked Amelia, and she was silent. We were almost on the good road.

We could not speed because the van carrying Inkabod was behind us. I linked the Kappa driving the van to get in front of us so we could keep an eye on it.

The Kappa driving our van slowed down to allow the van with Inkabod to overtake us. I watched the van with the women speed off.

I prayed Mirabel would make it, or she would be another life Yuri had wasted for his selfish reasons. I agreed with Sylvester when he said the Stepanovs had caused too much damage to be owed retribution.

There was silence in the van while we rode back to Mountain. I could feel the questions, doubts and excitement which hung in the air. All I was grateful for was that our plan worked, and we did not spare any of them. My heart was glad, and I was hopeful. I could not wait to tell my father how it went.

"Does this mean I can return to Brent with my members?" Kyle asked, and Sylvester cleared his throat.

"Not yet, Kyle; until Yuri has been eliminated, it will be wise you keep your head down. We might have won this battle, but Inkabod is a lackey, and the war is still on. The only things we have figured out here are that our theories checked out, and we have a fighting chance. Do not get carried away by this. We still have a long way to go; hopefully, Inkabod will give us something we can work with," Sylvester said, and we all agreed with him.

"Are we not going to go after Erik now that we know we can defeat them?" Vino asked, and I knew he was still pumped up from the battle. Who would have guessed he could hold his own in a fight? I was impressed and proud of him, but he did not have to know that part.

"Let's not get too confident. Erik has something Yuri lacks, which is brains," Andrew said, and I wanted to laugh at him because his hatred for Erik was still blatant.

"Yeah yeah, you will get your day in the sun, Andrew," David said, and we all laughed because we knew Andrew was most particular about going after Erik.

"Honestly Andrew, you heard Leo's father. Your father asked for it," Theo said, pointing it out to Andrew.

It was silly of the guy to still be mad at Erik, knowing his father was guilty of the crime he was punished for. That was highly partial of him.

"So, who told Inkabod that you were coming?" Devin asked me, and I sighed.

"One thing we know is that the leak came from Brentwood. They would know the King and lords were coming if the leak came from Mountain. Inkabod came ready to fight me. He did not know all of you were there until the fight had started. It means Timothy has a traitor in his pack," I said, and Sylvester nodded; I figured he already knew that part and only wanted me to say it.
