invisibles; Bloody wounds

The job Nerve had was simple and she finally unleashed the anger she had bottled up, the news were covered with more or less censored pictures of the scene, it didn't die down because of the violence, without prescedent! they have said. The money it gave them helped to get another house, a little smaller, more basic, they were preparing everything to flee.
"we'll just have to get our school records... Mom and Dad wanted us all to finish school" said String looking at Red "Mom never lost hope you will one day go back..." she moved away pissed
Cole was right there, getting ready, Nerve and iris getting ready too.
"once you end up your heart to heart...." he said serious "you have to get us rations" they were all finally getting over  things.

A phonecall changed their faith, Liever finally called Kingston's number again hoping to talk to whoever was in charge now, the handler answered and they were meeting that day where Psalm was found dead few weeks before.
"Didn't know it would be you..." said Liever when finally a man around his height, around his weight with dark eyes stood in front of him
"shut up, I'm not here to get to know you..." he spat through clenched teeth.
"But we Know each other..."
"I'm Cole..."
"the ghost... interesting" the agent let a smile appear on his face "I'm Red..." Cole moved his eyes over Liever and the agent blinked a couple times, it was as much information as he dared to give.
"so you're the switcher... interesting... you don't look like one" he said serious
"I'm here to offer your team a deal" but the anger in those dark eyes he was learning to fear stopped him
"and I'm here to find the one responsible fo rmy parents' death..." Liever snorted
"They weren't your parents..."
"they were more than my parents..." said moving faster, static on the agent's ear called his atention
"I.. I..." Liever's body was shaking "I have a whole team, 18 guys here.. to protect me..." Cole laughed hard, so loud some of the 18 mentioned moved letting him see their position.
"I know, my siblings are behind them"
"we're offering you all a way out..." Cole frowned breathing deep "it's this way out or going down" Cole laughed again
"no thank you" two red lights landed on Cole's chest, on top of his black tie
"you know we cannot have a rouge team, Ghost, make them obey , or you'll burry them one by one..."
"is not my call, and your threats are not gonna work either" and smiled "my guardian asked for your name, for what happened to Kingston andto the lady, but that's not my call either" and looking over Liever's shoulder "I can see you kid, don't do it..." he said to the comm on his cuff.
Liever felt a chill run down his spine, in ten years as agent of the secretary he never felt this kind of fear "Mrs. Steam is offering a deal, you all will have clean slate, only if youcome back to the secretary and the team disolves... I could get you a special deal Cole... you... you did great with this left overs." Cole was on his face
"I should let them kill you" and holding his lapels already "I should kill you myself!!" blinked twice and moving a hand over their heads, first a fist, then thumb against his palm, other fingers pointing up, he moved towards his car. "We'll avenge our fallen, and if you leave us alone, you'll live." closed the door.
"Just for you to know...?" Liever moved closer  "I didn't send anyone for them..." he could hear a click on his comm
"We don't believe you..." said a whispery voice on his ear and a knife landed on his tight making him scream while cole left.

a phone rang, Mrs. Stem answered "Subsecretary Stem" she said
"just for you to know....?" it was a female voice she couldn't recognize "all of them are death... leave us alone."
