A.S.S.A 16 [Editing]

Chapter 10

The worst type of monsters...
Are the ones who tell lies.

Andre and Mr Lucas sat across each other on a serving table, the bakery was now closed.

"Who did you say you were again?" Andre asked

"Lucas Trevas, I'm called Mr Lucas at my workplace" he said and took a sip out of the coffee Andre served him.

"What do you want, Mr Lucas?"

"A proposal, I work for the A.S.S.A institute and I know what happened to your parents 17 years ago" he said and Andre instinctively got up.

"What?"

"Calm down, please hear me out, I'm not a bad guy" he said and got up as well, Andre took a few steps back

"You....you and the girl who murdered my parents, you work together, don't you?"

"What! No, not at all, she doesn't work for the A.S.S.A institute" he said and Andre glared at him

"A.S.S.A, short for assassin isn't it?" Andre said while secretly grabbing a fork from the counter.

"What? That's absurd, A.S.S.A stands for A Special Shipment Agency, we deal with imports and exports, we have no connection with 16 at all"

"16?" Andre questioned

"Yes, I heard that's what they call her" Mr Lucas said innocently

"If that's true, then why are you here? What do you want?"

"Like I said earlier, a proposal, 16 has also taken a lot from me and all I want is to see justice served, she's a very scary and dangerous person but I'm tired of being a coward, I'm ready to fight" Mr Lucas said acting determined

"No" Andre simply said and Mr Lucas blinked multiple times in shock, he got his composure back in a few seconds and smiled.

"I came off too strong didn't I? Sorry to bother you" he lowered his head and began to head for the door before Andre stopped him.

"Wait! How did you know about my parents?"

"Dr Martin and Laura? Who didn't know them?, they were one of the best medical researchers in the world, they made all sorts of drugs that cured sickness that seemed incurable, they were a really great asset to our country" Mr. Lucas said and Andre couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"They're death 17 years ago was a real tragedy, a national loss. I'm also a victim of 16's brutality, so it wasn't hard to find out she was behind your parents death." He started and continued when he saw how intently Andre was listening to him.

"Andre, all I want is to stop 16 before she strikes again" he completed

"I want that too" Andre replied simply and a smile crept on Mr. Lucas's face

"here's what we have to do....."
