“Yeah, that might be one reason,” Dante agreed.
“Are you guys going after Mr.Black next?”Faith asked.
Dima shook his head.“Net, Sergi sent the rest of our group after him.He knew we would have to move quickly and quietly if we wanted the element of surprise on our side.”
“I think he sent our men to pick up Mr.Black and someone named Pappy will destroy the warehouses the grains are stored in?”Grisha told them.
Faith nodded.“That makes sense I guess.Pappy has more men out there and they won’t allow the poisoned grain to get planted.”
“Da, this will put a crimp in their plans.”Grisha grinned.
Faith closed her eyes and in a tired voice she told them, “Yeah, you stop one plot against the world and another one always pops up.”
Grisha looked at her with a gentle gaze and said, “Then we will step up and help stop that one too.We do it because we can’t let it happen.This is our world too.”
“We usually take care of groups who are from Russia and have committed crimes and such,” Grisha explained.“So, this was a new one.But with what you have told us, this was of utmost alarm.Poisoning the water system.So many would have suffered.Why would men destroy innocents and try to hurt their own people?”
“For power and money.What else?”Dante answered.“They planned to be the dispensers of death and life.Selling fresh supplies to the highest bidders.And this would be after they struck down anyone who rose against them as they have hired Soldiers Of Fortune to kill anyone strong that might oppose them.”
“It is sickening,” Catch griped as he turned his head to glare at Trac a few seats up.
“So, where are these hired soldiers?”Dima asked.
“That is one of the things we don’t know yet,” Faith stated as she stared at Trac.
For the first time since he’d been caught, Drake Trac smiled at her.
In a flash of a second, she was in front of him and had pulled his entire seat from where it was bolted on the floor.Leaning in close to his now unsmiling pale face, she seethed at him.“Where is this army?”
Dima, Minki and Catch had jumped in their seats and now they stared at something they could not comprehend at first.
Her in another spot on the plane and Trac being raised up in the air in his seat.
“Put me down!”Drake Trac shouted in panic.
“Tell me where the soldiers are!”Faith swung his seat over with one hand and raised her other hand to show him her palm.It was flaming as she pulled her arm back.“You will burn where you sit, Mr.Pallor.So you’d better tell me what I want to know.”
“W-what are you?”he asked in fear.
“I am therealdeath.One that your friends created years ago.Now tell me where they are!”
“Ok!ok!”Trac screamed in fear.“They will be coming in from the Atlantic, about a hundred miles from New Orleans.”
“When?”she asked.
“Tomorrow!”he yelled.
Glaring at him, she set the seat down.
Dima, Minki and Catch still looked spooked as they looked over at a smiling Dante.
He gave them a nod.“See?Extraordinary.”
Grisha chuckled.“Da, Fantastic, like I said.”
