Mated To An Hybrid

“Man, hurry up. We don’t want to be late for this meeting”, Jack said.

“I’ll be at the club soon, I’m driving”, Brian said.

He was some minutes late which was caused by him trying to force Serah’s secret out of her but as the stubborn woman she was, she refused to spill it.

Brian got to the club soon and together, they left for the government house. Oddly enough, he was relaxed for the meeting and he knew it would go well. He was assured that the Governor would see the reasons behind they’re plans.

Deep down, Brian had vowed within himself to evacuate the people with or without the Governor’s approval. He couldn’t sit back and watch innocent people get killed by the tht bloody starving demons.

“We’re here”, Jack said.

They drove slowly past the security gates heading towards the house where the governor and his family resided. The trio climbed out of the vehicle soon but were stopped for some security checks.

“We’re clean”, Brian said.

“I know sir but we have to follow all due protocol”, the security agent said.

They were searched and when they were satisfied clean, they were allowed to go in but with an escort who followed closely behind them. Brian knew that the governor was doing all these just to be assured that Brian and his friends were coming in without any hidden agenda.

They were led towards the large visiting area where the Governor usually received guests. Brian and his friends took their seats as they waited patiently for the Governor to arrive.

“I really don’t know what he’s scared of”, Jack said.

“A guilty man runs when no one pursues him”, Brian said.

“Jack, are there cameras in here?”, Killian asked.

Unknown to the security agents, Jack had smuggled in a device that was able to detect for hidden rays within the building which would help them determine if the governor was hiding something or not.

Jack took a few minutes to do this, operating the small device without the knowledge of the men who stood like statues at all the corners of the visiting area.

“Bad news. There are thousands around here”, he said.

“Damn, that’s bad”, Killian sighed.

“Not bad if you don’t do anything that could make you suspicious”, Brian said.

Just then, the Governor walked in dressed in a dark navy blue suit. He had a small smile on his face as he took tht chair opposite the trio.

“I understand you want to see me”, the Governor said.

His now balding head shone under the powerful rays of the chandelier that hung on the wall. His smile which showed more teeth than the actual smile was fake and Brian had no difficulties knowing that the Governor was uncomfortable in their midst.

“Good”, Brian muttered.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

He was glad that the Governor was feeling this way, this just gave him the upper hand when dealing with him.

“Pardon?”, the Governor said.

“I said yes, we would like to see you”, Brian said.

“Alright, let’s hear it”, the Governor said.

Brian gave him a breakdown of everything that had happened and his plans to evacuate the people of the city. He couldn’t read the mind of the most powerful man of tht state as his face showed nothing and Brian knew it was an act to keep him at the edge.

“I can’t do that”, the Governor said.

Brian was expecting this and wasn’t surprised when he heard the words he had been waiting for. The Governor had an habit of being stubborn especially to things that would be of benefit to the people, he always wanted to be right and Brian knew that it would be his downfall of he doesn’t change.

“Think about that risk Sir”, Killian said.

“I know, that’s the first thing I thought about. The thing is, how am I do sure you aren’t taking them to somewhere else”, he said.

“We aren’t. We can categorically say that Wilfred is a threat to the society and he is planning something that would cause irreparable damage to the people of this state”, Jack said.

“That still doesn’t answer my question. How am I so sure that you aren’t taking these people elsewhere?”, he snapped.

“With all due respect sir, I take the safety of your people should be paramount in your mind now. If it’s anything, you can trust us”, Brian said.

He was tired of being tossed around like a ball. If the Governor wasn’t ready to cooperate, Brian would have no other choice but to take matters into his own hands.

“Why do I have a feeling that you would do what’s on your mind whether I agree to this or not”, the Governor said.

He stared directly at Brian, waiting for an answer. Brian chuckled, a deep throaty laugh that left the Governor looking perplexed.

“I think you know the answer to that already”, Brian said.

Jack and Killian remained quiet as they could sense that an argument was brewing. Brian could be stubborn and so was the governor. Now, it was left for either of them to step down or this would escalate to something ugly.

“Do you have proof of this impending attack?”, the governor asked.

Brian knew that he was just trying to save his face and act concerned when he clearly knew he was wrong.

“Jack, show him the video”, Brian ordered.

Jack rose to his feet, handing over the tablet to one of the security agents who showed it to the Governor. He watched it for some minutes before sending it back to Brian. At that moment, Brian knew he had won. The Governor was on their side.

“When is this attack?”, he asked.

“Anytime soon, we really don’t know the date yet”, Brian said.

“Alright, I’m agreeing to this only because I know what would happen should this attack occur”, he said.

“Good Mr Governor, you made the right choice”, Brian smiled.

“Where do you intend to evacuate these people to?”, he asked.

“I know a place, it’s on the outskirts of the city. It’s a field of buildings that would house everyone of them”, Jack said.

“Alright, we’ll go with that. Secondly, what happens if Wilfred and his men follow us to this location”, the Governor said.

“Leave that to us Mr Governor, we know how to handle that”, Brian said.

“Alright, it’s settled then”, Killian said.

It was time for war and Brian knew that only the brave would survive.
