The Human Hearted Imp

Chapter 73: The Next Security Plan

Another three days later, I.M.P has another day off, but Sarge feels a lot better after talking to Loona the night before.

The I.M.P Group, including Mimmy and Octavia are at the Hospital to visit Stolas and Blitz. Sadly, Blitz is still unconscious, but at least he's still healing. Drew and Berry are also there after their visit with Avery. At the hospital, thanks to Loona's support, Sarge explains the others about everything about his past, including his connection to Toxbane and what he has done against him and his former team.

"And that is the reason why I reacted badly when Liam mentioned Toxbane. Just the thought of him made my blood boil, but at the same time, brought me terrible memories," Sarge explains, "I apologize for not acting like myself and why I couldn't tell you about my past."

Of course, learning about the truth of Sarge's past, to everyone else, it's an understandable shock.

"Fuck, I had no idea that happened to you," Randall says, stunned.

"Sir, I'm so sorry this happened to you," Moxxie says.

"Yeah. We had no idea you've gone through something like this," Millie says.

Drew says, "And we understand why you had trouble explaining all this to us, including about what happened at such a young age."

"I must say, I'm surprised to hear that you used to be part of a famous mercenary group," Stolas says.

Sarge nods his head, "Yes. Believe me, telling you all about this is tough to swallow. I do apologize for not telling you all sooner."

"It's cool dude, but it seems that Toxbane is even more dangerous than what the rumors said he is," Razor says.

"He is. And it's highly possible that Toxbane will know about Blitz, his upbringing, and the serum he had one of his men transfused into him. I did agree that all of us will be in pairs to guard their room, but to be safe, we should put more security," Sarge says.

Then turns to Razor, "Razor, what's the progress on the special security cameras you've been working on."

"They're almost finished. A little more adjustments and they'll be ready to set up," Razor says.

Sarge nods his head in reply.

"And we still need to take shifts watching over Blitz and Stolas at the hospital. Also Octavia and Mimmy at the mansion," Sarge says.

"I think we get it dad. We've been doing it for days, almost a whole week," Loona says.

"True, but it wouldn't hurt to have a little reminder," Sarge says.

"That's true, especially how forgetful Randall can be sometimes," Berry points out with a grin.

Randall glares at her, "Shut up." And then lets out a yawn of exhaustion.

Stolas looks around to notice that everyone seems to be tired.

"Um, I have a feeling it's not just trying to work with I.M.P and additional bodyguard duty is why you're feeling tired and a bit grouchy. Not to mention, Sarge's little PTSD," Sarge says.

Moxxie sighs, "To be honest, we're all very tired. Some of us were able to get some sleep, but it doesn't mean that work has been easy for the past few days, which is one of the reasons why he had to close the office."

"I'm going to regret asking, but what exactly happened while I was at the hospital?" Stolas asks.

"Well, let's just say that because of Blitz's identity being exposed, we have had quite a bit of trouble that we had to close the office and had to take calls from the work phone or my house phone," Sarge explains.
