Chapter 21: Infected

"How long do we have?" Raine asked Mia on the call as she and Lyne rushed to the basement parking.

"We have an hour to intercept before the police reach the place," Mia answered. 

"Dylan, did you hear that? Do whatever is necessary and give me that one hour by any means!" Raine instructed as she rushed to her private parking space. 

"I got you, Boss!" Dylan replied. Dylan was the second-in-command of the Moonlight Squad whenever Lyne was busy with her.

Mia, meanwhile, worked on her computer at the Moon Clan headquarters. She blocked all the fastest routes that the police could use to arrive at the site. The other members of the Moonlight Squad disguised themselves and helped to block the roads. They caused a fake accident and created a scene to jam the roads so that the police had no choice but to use a longer route to get to the place.

Mia monitored everything using CCTV cameras and hacked into the traffic server to change the signals light to delay the police even more. 

"You can reach the place in about fifteen minutes if you leave now," Mia commented. 

"I'll drive my motorcycle. You guys can follow," Raine commented as she hopped on her motorcycle. 

In a flash, Raine drove out of the building. It was unusual for these creatures to attack in broad daylight.

'What is going on?' she wondered while driving. She could tell that something was wrong. 

In less than fifteen minutes, Raine arrived at the vacation house of the Secretary of Defense. 

"Mia," Raine whispered.

"Yeah, Boss. Everything is clear," Mia commented on the other line. "I looped all the CCTV footage so it won't record you. It's safe for you to enter." 

"Good." 

Raine wore protective gear on her hands and feet to ensure she wouldn't leave any traces of her presence behind. She also tied her hair up and wore camera-enabled eyeglasses so Mia could have a clear visual of what Raine was seeing. She also carried a gun specifically designed to kill rogue werewolves and other mythical creatures.

Entering the area, the first thing she noted was how messy it all was. There was blood everywhere she looked at.

Raine took everything in as she continued to walk. She noted that most of the dead bodies belonged to the servants.

"Rogue werewolves are on the loose in broad daylight, Mia. This is not good," Raine solemnly commented. The stench of blood irritated her nose as always.

"Boss, we are here," Lyne reported on the other line.

"Make sure none of them were infected," Raine instructed as she headed directly to the room of the Secretary of Defense. Werewolves could infect any human they attacked, which would cause them to turn into another werewolf if they were still alive. It would usually depend on the human body. Some turned into rogue werewolves with no ability to think like humans anymore. Others could still retain their human senses and control the werewolf in them, but it was a very rare occurrence. And even if there was a case like that, the rule still states that they are all to be eliminated.

In all of her years-worth of experience, whenever Raine and her squad found any humans that had turned into monsters, they turned so horrible that the squad had no choice but to eliminate them. Raine always lived by what her father often said, that there should be no room for monsters in their world.

All of her movements were extremely fast as she reached the room of the secretary of defense in no time. Her eyes widened when she saw a small figure kneeling on the ground, crying in front of the old man. The old man was the secretary of defense, and he was bathed in his own blood; his flesh torn into pieces.

"The girl is infected," Mia said on the line as soon as she identified the little girl who turned to Raine. "She's the secretary of defense's granddaughter." 

"Help my grandpa… Please…" the little girl pleaded as she stood up to approach. Raine, however, immediately aimed her gun towards that little girl. 

"She's the one who called the police for help," Mia added with a sigh. It wasn't the first time she would see innocent young ones die because of being infected by werewolves or vampires.

"Boss," Mia called out since she didn't see their Boss killing the girl.

"Let's wait a little more…" Raine commented with a creased forehead. She bent down and stared at the little girl's eyes as the girl came close to her… Raine's eyes turned red as she tried to read the girl's eyes.

"Your eyes are bleeding," the little girl commented. She raised her little arm as if to touch Raine's face, but her body suddenly wiggled. Raine closed her eyes… and yet, here she was thinking that the girl was a one in a million in rare cases. She considered sparing her life while her father was still sleeping.

She aimed the gun at the little girl's head, ready to shoot when…

"Stop! Her body is reacting, but she can control it…" a familiar voice interrupted her, which made Raine's lips arch.

"And here I was thinking that you had no plans of showing yourself while watching me kill a little girl," Raine commented. 

It was him, the lollipop boy. She noticed him as soon as she entered the room, but she stayed silent since she wanted to know what his next move would be.

She was curious to find out what he was doing there.

"Seal the area…" Raine instructed on the line with a broad smile on her face.

"Make sure my lollipop boy won't be able to escape me."

"Focus on the girl, not me," the lollipop boy said. "The police will be here soon. If you plan on killing her, then let me take her instead. You can't let her go to the police since she's infected, but she could be handy to train at this stage…" 

"What are you going to do now, Boss?" Lyne asked from the other line.
