Dangerous Flame

Chapter 7

As they arrive at the mortal realm it was dark. She didn't realize how much time she stayed at the void or in the celestial realm but she knows it is long.

"I'm going to go ahead." Kenneth said.

Myst nodded. She admired Kenneth on how he does things. Be it working in the mortal realm or being her guardian; he is a very efficient guy.

When Myst looks around the place, she realized that she seems to be in the university belt, a place where most colleges and universities resides.

Then suddenly she remembered that Andrew is studying at a university. She hopes that she doesn't meet him and theorized that maybe he's in a different one and not here.

She looked around the streets and tries to find a place where she could get a cab going to Makati but then she figured that it was too late to get a ride since most of the colleges and the restaurant around here closes.

She gulped. Certainly the killer would strike at a time like this. Didn't Earth and his guardians encountered the killer at this time of night.

She walked and looks around cautiously within a mile radius from her. Looking for that hooded guy, who attacked her brother.

Then from a distance she could hear a person shouting "hold up to'."

Naturally, she would ignore this kind of situations since it's not related to Danger Crossers missions though should she ever feel to intervene on situations like this; she should abide the rule of controlling the situation without using their powers.

But she decided to go against her usual tide to ignore the situation and went towards the place where she heard the commotion because she heard a familiar voice who is trying to negotiate his attacker. It was Andrew's voice.

She quickly went behind the armed thief's back and hits the nape with a quick blow of her right hand and knocked him unconscious as he fell to the ground.

Andrew blinked and jumped at the sight of her. "How did you get here? I didn't see how you quickly went behind him."

Myst cursed herself for her recklessness and sighed as she scratched her head. "Do I have to explain everything to you idiot? If you live as I have lived then you know how to knocked a distracted person meaning him." She said as she points the unconscious man.

She then grabbed Andrew's hand and leads the way. "Come on, let's go."

Andrew released himself from her grasps. "Where are we going? I'm not going with you."

She stopped and pointed at the unconscious man. "If I hadn't been there. That man would stick a bullet in your stomach..." Then an idea struck her.

"Myst. Hey! Why are you always spacing out on me?"

"I was thinking of not getting you involve with me after gathering enough information. But it seems that the cloaked guy wants to kill you for any information about him." She nudged her head at the unconscious man. "That is his lackey."

Andrew felt frightened. "But I don't know much about him."

"But he didn't know that except that you took a glance at him." Keep it cool, Myst. You've got him hooked, lined and sinker, Myst thought.

"So what should I do?"

She sighed trying to look bothered. "I have to take you with me for protection even though I don't think you're worth it. When you've got no information on you." Then she looks at Andrew with pitiful eyes and starts to walk away. "Especially a guy who doesn't need my help."
