DARK WEAPON BOOK ONE: TIME OF BOMBING✔️

Chapter 28

Adan was delighted when Pattie agreed to let him go with her to the Military Precinct. He was sure Mercy was the one who convinced her though and as a show of his appreciation to her, he paid double of what he was expected to pay at her store. He couldn’t understand why Mercy needed to convince Pattie but it was all good for him as he was in the car with her on their way to the Military precinct.

Actually, Adan would have preferred it if he went on his own but since he was in a foreign country and he bumped into someone in a uniform with the power to get into places only his badge wouldn’t take him, he was going to suck up to her if need be.

“So, you can go into the Military Precinct as much as you want?” he asked.

He was not going to sit down in front of the car and endure a long and boring journey. Instead, he was going to get some information out of her.

“No. I’m just going to try asking if they can give me the names of the survivors. Our landlady is really worried about her daughter” Pattie answered.

“I don’t have that kind of power to go in there as frequent as possible but since I know a guy there it might be easy for me to go in” she added.

He was wrong about her. She didn’t have any power in Turner like he did back in Horki. He looked out of the window and begun to take in the view and that was when she knew Mercy was wrong about him. He just wanted to get into the Military Tribunal and there was a possibility that he was sent by the CIA in Horki to come down to Turner and investigate the fragging case. There was also a possibility that he had run a background check on her and moving into the same apartment building as her was also planned out.

“Why did you move down here? Horki is far better than Turner and you have a good job there too” she said, eager to know more about him.

“I don’t want to talk about it” he said.

Pattie concluded that he had something up his sleeve. They got to the Military Precinct and were waiting for the warden in charge to attend to them. Adan looked around and remembered the last time when he was at a precinct. He had to take his Father’s body out of one when he thought he was protecting him from the 5 but they still got in and murdered him. Thinking about it now, he felt sick in his stomach.

Pattie noticed and thought maybe it was her and the fact that they had to wait in line to get attended to. She bet he didn’t have to do anything like that back at Horki.

“I told you getting in wouldn’t be easy. You look irritated” she said.

“No, it’s not because we are waiting. I was just reminded of something” he said and smiled at her.

She stared at his dimples and remembered when she once fantasized about kissing guys with dimples and chocolate abs.

“Is there something on my face?” he asked when her stare dragged on for long.

“No. You have dimples on both sides of your cheek. You hardly get that in Turner” she said.

He made to talk but the warden ushered them in, saving her the embarrassment she would have felt if he asked if she found it hot.

“Walter!” she called the man she said she had on the inside.

He stopped walking and begun to walk up to them. Adan took in his look. He was tall, tan skinned and he looked like he’d date seven girls at once. Why Pattie was friends with someone like him was a puzzle to him.

Walter on the other hand was surprised to see Pattie walk in with a young guy. Yes, he could tell from Adan’s face that he was younger than she was by far. Not that she was arresting him because he wasn’t on handcuffs but for another reason.
