Creek - Hero

Chapter 74

Craig waits on the roof for the helicopter to arrive. He decided to go alone. He didn't want anyone getting mixed up in this if they didn't have to. He was willing to risk his life to save Tweek and he didn't want others to be put in that situation.

Mysterion drops down beside Craig, startling him.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was ordered to see you to your destination."

"Why? Why would you need to accompany me?"

"Tim doesn't want anyone going on solo missions right now. Don't worry, I'm only escorting you to your destination, I won't go inside."

"Okay... do you know Tweek?"

"Yes. I'm a department head, I go to all the meetings."

"Right, I forgot."

"Tweek is a good guy. He deserves to be saved."

"I'm aware."

"Sorry, just trying to make conversation. I'm not the best at it."

"It's fine. I'm just not in the best mood."

"Reasonable."

The helicopter lands on the roof and the two boys get in.

The flight is fairly short, 45 minutes from takeoff to touchdown. They get off in a town one mile from the address Craig was given.

Mysterion Hotwires a car and starts to drive.

"Are you allowed to do this? Timothy doesn't get mad?"

"Nah. I do what I want and he doesn't care as long as it's kept secret."

"I didn't know he was so lenient."

"Well, since I'm not on a team I'm not affecting anyone when I do things like this so it usually doesn't matter anyway. Put your seatbelt on, I'm getting us there in under 30 minutes."

Craig buckles up and the car starts speeding down the highway.

Craig knocks on the door of a rundown house. It looked like it matched the car. A short old man answers. "What do you want?"

"Herbert Garrison?"

"That's me."

"Do you own a white van?"

"Well I used to before some big shots in suits bought it from me."

"You sold it?"

"Yes. They offered me triple what I paid for it."

"Do you remember who you sold it to?"

"I think he said his name was... Dan Gerus?"

"I see... thank you."

Craig walks back to the car.

"So?"

"Pull up the guest list for the party. Look for anyone named Dan or Daniel."

Kenny pulls up his computer and searches through the names. "Looks like there's someone named Daniel G. Representative of a company that sponsors us. They give us potion supplies."

"That's him. We need to go to that company."

"Okay... it's just down town."

"Let's go then. I have some ass kicking to do."
