Chapter 18: First declaration

Grey made a quick contemplation in his head. He needed no one to tell him what would happen to the guys that went out of the bar a few minutes ago. “Grey!” Caramel yelled suddenly, jerking Grey out of his thoughts.

He blinked once and stared up at her. “Yes, what were you saying?”

Caramel sighed. “Are you lying to my friend?” Grey shook his head. “No, but I think I have a place to be now. And don‘t forget that I‘m your friend‘s husband and I need to hurry home now or she might still I‘m cheating.”

Caramel chuckled.” Why would she think like that? She doesn‘t even like you.”

Grey sighed and got up.” I know but I have to leave right now. Can I drop you off?”

Caramel managed a nod and finally stood up after much hesitation.” We should meet some other time.”

Grey took the opposite street and glanced back at the men running in the background. “Where‘s your house?” He asked his eyes on the road ahead of him, as well as the rear mirror. “Just drop me off over there,” he gestured forward.” I also have a business to settle off here,” she explained and Grey heaved a relieved sigh.

He pulled the car to a stop at a popular hotel. “Thanks for agreeing to have this meal with me, “he said almost honestly.

Caramel nodded, with a smile. ” I will see you later,” she waved and walked inside the hotel. Grey looked ahead at the street and realized that he had to drive some miles to take a u–turn back to Atomic Liquors. The guys he wanted to rescue might be dead before he even got there. He looked back at the cars driving at fast speed and sighed but he knew that he had to reverse the car at the point that he was if he wanted his mission to be successful.

He actually remembered all the lessons that his father had forced him to go through. It got to a point that Grey almost thought his father didn‘t love him. It seemed now that he was merely preparing him for the future, for the next Hercules. He adjusted his seat so that he could still press the brake and gas, even while his body was turned around slightly to back up.

With a leg holding the brake, he maneuvered the gear shifter down and into reverse gear and looked back at the cars fast approaching. He furrowed his brows in concentration. He had to do it and it must be done immediately. He pressed the accelerator and the car drove backward. A car was coming in his direction, and he changed position quickly to the other side.

It was late and the cars on the street weren‘t so many which made it easier.

When he noticed that no car was coming over from his lane, he pressed the clutches until he got to the street and turned the car around so quickly. The tires screeched as he maneuvered the gear from the reverse and into the drive gear.

He spotted dozens of men even in the darkness, in a street a bit far away from the bar.He pulled over in front of the guys, intentionally as they were already beating the guys from the club.

The men turned around to look at him the moment he got out of the car.
