Before his fist landed on her face, the four forcefully separated Mike from her. "Enough, Mike! She's the one who called for this mission, not the chief. It's her. She's our real captain!" Casya spits out the truth, avoiding his eyes.
His face turned pale like he had been struck by thunder. "What? What shit are you talking about? How is that possible? A young woman as a police captain?" He laughed sarcastically and continued, "I'm better than her because she's far from good," grinding his teeth as he clenched his fists.
"She is telling the truth, Mike. Remember what the chief director told you: "You are just acting as captain because she is the real one. She solved all our cases secretly; actually, me, Casya, and Derek are under her," Tony explained, sucking his never-ending lollipop and wearing a headphone around his neck. His Hawaiian sleeveless polo is unbuttoned.
"Wait—what? I'm confused! What exactly is happening here? What's real and what's not?" Andrei has no idea what's happening. "Derek, talk. What Tony said was true." As he turned to the person beside her, he asked, "Nothing but truth?"
"Hmm... She's the one who kept sending us leads, even the proof and evidence; it was all from her. The truth is that she knows everything you can imagine. Ah, that's all," he said, ending his speech.
"So you mean we are kept in the dark? The three of you knew her, but you all acted like you didn't know her. I'm sure you already knew she was joining our team beforehand, and I and Mike were fooled. No, that's not it." He was dumbfounded, shaking his head.
None of them spoke, so Ameira spoke up after being silent and listening to their arguments. "I'm after a big event. I needed to hide my identity and live in the shadows. I have no time to explain myself to you two. It's just necessary now to show myself to both of you, and I have no plans to be a captain or anything else. You can keep the position; hell, I care. Casya will explain everything slowly along the way. Enough wasting time; let's go," she sternly said, jumping into the boat. Tony, Derek, and Casya followed her, but the two were hesitant.
Ameira saw Casya go down to get Mike, who was frozen by the sudden truth.
Ameira was tight-lipped and had neither the energy nor the interest to talk to them; she just sat quietly while Derek drove the boat. They didn't hire or get anyone since the place was odd.
As Ameira said, Casya slowly explained everything while on the board until they reached the forest where the hospital was located, which had been abandoned for many years. They stayed there for a long time.
But before reaching their destination, they first had to climb a mountain, cross a hanging bridge, ride a paddle boat, and walk through the forest. This was until they could finally see the hospital. It's recommended to use an air vehicle, such as a private plane or helicopter.
"What the effin! Do we really have to cross that hanging bridge? Do we have any other option?" Andrei complained after climbing the mountain seeing how dangerous the hanging bridge is. "Seriously. What kind of place are we going to? We're almost done with the tiring travel. It looks like we are having an adventure," he added, his eyes taking a tour of the whole area.
"There is a way, but a lot of money is required. But if you don't have it, then better stop complaining and just cross the damn bridge." Tony declared as he stepped foot on the bridge. Because Ameira was the one who walked first to cross the bridge, and she could hear them talking.
"C'mon, brother, what's the use of your two balls? Act like a man." Derek broadcast, being the third person to cross the bridge.
Casya asked Mike, who had remained quiet throughout the trip if he could do it.
"I don't need your care, Casya. I feel so pathetic for myself after finding you fooling me. I can't bring myself to talk to you or look at you. So do me a favor; from now on, stay away from me," he said impolitely, crossing the bridge with a grimace and leaving her alone.
Upon reaching the lake, she and Mike are on the same paddle boat after a few minutes of crossing. Tony and Derek, and Casya and Andrei. Since there are six of them, they cannot fit in one paddle boat, so they had to get three boats.
"Stop blaming Casya. It was my idea to hide my identity from everyone; even the chief director was against it but still supported me. I can't tell you why, but the chief director and I have our reasons for needing each other. Believe me or not, I don't intend to compete with you." She said she was standoffish while rowing.
"You always act suspiciously in an unpleasant place and time. So how could I not act wildly? I became a joke for you all. You just had to tell me, but you loved playing with me. Do you think I don't deserve to be mad? I'm not a saint. I'm a human." He jarred while rowing too. It's an oar they use; the same applies to their friends.
"I know. That's why this is the most convenient time to show up and explain to you everything I need to keep hidden," she replied with a dry tone.
Afterward, all of them debarked as soon as they reached their destination. After a few minutes of walking, they saw the roadway and an abandoned hospital that had shattered into pieces. And because it has been abandoned for a long time, many weeds and other wild grasses and plants can be seen in the former hospital. This now looks like a scary and dense place.
"Guys, are you really sure this is the place?" Andrei asked ridiculously while his eyes were wide open.
"It is as expected. It will appear like a horrible place." Derek commented on having a view of the whole abandoned place.
"It may change. But I vividly remembered how it looked before like it'd just happened yesterday." Casya uttered it with clenched fists.
Ameira was silently viewing the place; her lips were sealed, and her face looked so aloof. Her ghostly smile appeared. 'A lingering taste of old murders and bloodstains still permeates this place. I could smell the dead souls lingering around as I killed everyone with my bare hands.' A devil thought Ivy whispered in the back of her head.
These fools couldn't even recognize that the woman they are with is not what they think she is. 'Ameira, how dare you dispatch me? I will kill everyone close to you, and I will not spare anyone. Aleja will be my first dish, and then the people around me. And you wouldn't have someone to lean on. How pretentious you are, Ameira, for trying to dispatch us all.' She said it with a vengeance in the back of her head.
It is she who is the strongest personality in Ameira. The one who can kill without hesitation or feeling guilty because killing pleases her. Hearing their screams and bathing in blood are her trophies.
She's indeed a psychopath who kills people for fun. However, what makes her excited is when her prey is people who are full of guilt and burning with the desire for killing and revenge.
She will be a living God to save individuals who live an unfair life. Whatever they do, even though they pray so hard to the Lord to save them and help them, nothing good comes their way. Because he's nothing but superficial. Only pathetic and hypocritical people believe him when, in fact, he's nothing but a scam.
She will be their salvation and a God to answer everyone's prayers, whether it's greed or revenge; she doesn't care at all. Her role will be to serve as God and to punish evil people.
