CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

I realised who it was when i looked at him. It was Holland, the officer that had interviewed me after mum had died.  His partner was there as well, Briggs.  They sat unnaturally close to each other, perhaps they were in a relationship further than work colleagues. Holland looked vastly different to how he used to.  He wore an eyepatch over his right eye, and his brow, now greyed hair, had been cut extremely short, with his usually style replaced with a swipe to the side, preventing it getting in his, same sparkling blue eyes.  A watch on his right arm had a deep crack in the centre and he had a bandage over his left leg.  Briggs on the other hand looked mostly the same, with her long ginger hair covering the left side of her face.  She now had a scar that ran down the side of her neck,  deep red.  It looked painful.

Holland spoke first, well some things hadn't changed. Nicolas things have changed since we last spoke, he said.  Last night you were encountered by a group known as the Chaos Assembly.  This group are a group of individuals that believe the police have no place in society.  They vowed to destroy the entire police force of this country,  unfortunately they have succeeded.  As of last night they placed an attack on police stations across the country, using military grade weapons to quickly take over our security stations. 

They now have potentially thousands of weapons and armoured vehicles at their disposal.  Holland had tears in his eyes as he spoke an his voice started to shake, but still he continued on.  They have global backing from a list of well known terrorist organisations. They have simultaneously became the largest, and most well armed terrorist organisation in the world. A few months ago we noticed that the number of murders of police officers and ex officers had rose exponentially.  We have reason to believe that the figure that attacked, and killed your mother, was a member of the Chaos Assembly.  You are a significant individual in this situation as they have vowed to stop their plan of terror and destruction, on one condition.

We hand you over. 

No! It's not happening!, Jemma screamed. 

Holland spoke and said, "we are aware of that, we have vowed to protect you Nicolas, and so have formed a group of our own, the right arm."  As of now we are effectively on the run.  A worldwide broadcast was made three hours ago, to the entire world, on every television screen, on every network, in every home, promising to stop the violence if they find you and hand you over to them, alive.  

I just stared stared at the man, in utter disbelief, but still he went on. 

The chaos assembly is hell bent on finding you, we cannot allow that to happen, not matter the cost.  We're going to keep you and your friends safe Nicolas, i promise.  We're going to kit you out with basic weaponry, and we are going to follow you everywhere.  We cannot allow a terrorist organisation to threaten the security and freedom of this country, we must not allow the public to meet their demands.  We have no idea why they want you in particular.  Your friends are also on the run, for injuring a member of their order as well as being your accomplice.  We have to find the man that killed my mother, i said.  That's not possible now Nicolas, we'll find him eventually and you can kill him yourself.  Now, we've got to get you out of here.
