La Sombra [Ben Hargreeves]

Twirls and Hugs

We went to the site were Johnny was last seen. It was on an alpaca farm. We believe that Jennifer was being held there and Johnny saved her. However, there were many dead guards along with scorch marks and small fires. The fire department was currently putting them out as the CIA and Reginald's men analyzed the area.

"This looks like it was an interesting rescue mission." Ben raised a brow.

"Okay, we may have known Johnny for less than a day, but I doubt he was a mass murder." Allison stated as we looked around.

"He isn't." Sloane shook her head. "He may be a hot head from time to time, but he would never do this."

"He turned everyone into barbecue." Lila walked over to the closest body and noticed a part of the wrist that wasn't burned. She pointed to it, a similar version to our umbrella tattoos from our timeline. "And they have horrible taste in tattoos."

"Some next-level psycho shit." Diego stated.

"It's becoming more like a cult by the second." I mumbled.

"This could have been a rescue mission." Viktor said.

"More likely a massacre by two individuals who are growing increasingly violent by the minute." Reginald stared at the scene before us.

"You don't know that." Viktor told him.

"All right," Five strolled over to us, "so my guys tell me that this whole farm actually belongs to those two lunatics who ambushed us at New Grumpson. Gene and Jean Thibedeau."

"Well, maybe Johnny killed them too." Luther assumed.

"Well, forensics found fresh tracks leading out of the barn. So, my guess is they escaped." Five said, looking at the barn that had a burning hole in the side of it.

"Well, they couldn't have gotten far." Allison crouched beside a dead body. She poke a stick at it. "Based on the signs of rigor, I'd say time of death was six, maybe seven hours ago."

"How do you know that?" Diego crossed his arms.

"Wichita, PD." Allison stood to her feet and crossed her arms over her chest. "Thursday nights at 9/8 Central."

"Ready the car." Reginald called out, walking toward the car we came in.

Viktor followed after him, trying to convince him to manhunt Johnny and Jennifer. Luther and Sloane walked the scene, talking to one another as they caught up. Ben and I slowly started to walk away from the others.

"Gotta make a call." Allison told us, going another way.

"Okay, what gives, Sweetheart?" Ben slipped his hand into mine and stopped me once we were a good distance away from everyone. I gnawed my bottom lip. Ben studied me. "Is this about the real reason why Brellie Ben died?"
