Chapter 123 - Epilogue

Unknown Narrator: 'Life has to offer so many things'

Liam stood at the top of the a building, at the edge. His fingers rotating a small piece of paper he held. He read the contents once more.

'I know who the drug king is, let's meet'

He squad, one arm resting on his knee up. His long jacket spread out because of the wind, swirling behind him. His eyes gazing upon the city night lights of New York, he allowed the paper to slip from his fingers by the wind, his expression unreadable.

'Life, choice, death, freedom and love'

"Boss" his comm sounds, it was Kayla.

"Hold off all comms, I have somewhere to be" Liam said going offline before jumping downwards submerging into a shadow with black wings, flying out.

'We just have to accept any of them'

***

"Deep breaths honey, deep breaths" Trent said trying to calm his wife in labor.

'The joy of life comes from birth and life'

"Oh my God, we have to hurry" Sid said holding unto the wall for support.

Trent quickly shut the door, rushing to his wife side helping her out as they slowly strolled to the elevator.

'It's also the beauty'

Section Eleven 

City Park 

'There's also the darkness of it'

"You good?" Chase asked worried, watching her set to move out.

"Yeah I'm fine, any minute now he will be here, you should keep a far safer distance" Lorna said sighing out cold steams, it was already getting cold, the seasons were here already, she haven't even thought of that since her mind has been cluster ever since. She pulled her coat jacket more to her body.

"Be careful" he said softly, she forced a smile nodding.

He stared into her eyes for a longer second.

"Lorna" he began but froze as she grabbed him by his collar going on her tip toes and she kissed him passionately.

'There is both beauty and darkness'

Chase froze at her actions not expecting her to do that but he kissed her back without a worry in the world until she pulled away.

"Is that a yes?" Chase asked amused, referring to what they talked about, about her giving him a chance. She smiled.

"Will give you my answer after the mission" she said slowly pulling away from him, winking, he smirks at her gesture as she turns walking away.

***

Lorna placed her hands inside her coat pocket feeling slightly cold, she strolled around the park Illuminated with lights, fewer people around strolling, mostly couples, she observed them as they laughed and talk about things, some kissing in the open not minding anyone, her eyes sadden for a reason she didn't really understand.

"You're really into public places" Liam's deep voice came in.

Lorna halts her step at the sound of it, smirking.

"Let's hope the whole park doesn't blow up this time" he adds.

She turns as the cold wind slowly careless around them.

Liam tilts his head to the side with a faint smirk plastered on his lips.

"Hello Liam" Lorna said with a side smile.

"Don't worry  they don't keep cameras in the park, that means I have enough courage to do this" Lorna said bold.

He raised an eyebrow at her words.

"What?"

"This" she said removing her hands from her pocket as she walks towards him, each step coming at him, their eyes never leaving each other, Lorna was right in front of him as she went on her tip toes wrapping her arms around his neck and then pressing her lips against his, passionately as their lips roamed up and down in a perfect rhythm, their heads changing positions as the kiss went on and on, Liam cups her cheeks with both hands as he deepened the kiss, out lining her teeth with his tongue, tasting every inch of her mouth but then he paused, faces inches apart.

His eyes darkens with something Lorna couldn't explain, as his looks turned stone cold.

"Why?" he said in distaste.

She knew he figured it out but it was too late.

"For using me" she spats as she placed a small device at the side of his neck, it then shifted to Steel, wrapping around his neck tightly.

She quickly pulls away.

"Lorna" he growls as he tried to remove the Steel but to no end, it blocked the connection with Ghost.

"Lorna!"

That moment the rest of the agents gathered around him pointing their guns.

"Move and we shoot" Chase said darkly.

Liam's eyes were fixed on Lorna's never ending, it was cold and distance and for some reason, it teared her heart apart to have him look at her like that.

"Well done Lorna" Barbra said clapping her hands as she steps forward.

Liam's eyes of fury lands on her, his teeth clenched seeing the bitch, his body inching to snap her neck.

Barbra placed her hand on Lorna's shoulder from behind.

"Do you really think you can blackmail my niece, I'm afraid not, because she has been undercover to capture you for months now" Barbra said in amusement.

Liam growled deeply, it was inhuman and deadly that made the agent pointing their guns at him to shake but they stood their ground as did Chase, knowing he can't do anything with the Steel around his neck.

"Don't worry Lorna, we will take it from here" Barbra said moving away from her.

Lorna's eyes never left Liam as she turns walking in slow motion, a tear fell from one of her eyes, as she walks away from him for good.

"LORNA!"

She stops right in her tracks, as she turns with widen eyes, her body trembles at the inhuman sound. 

Liam was on his knees, he held his head in pain, black shadow erupting around his body.

Everyone stares in awe knowing it was impossible, he shouldn't be displaying this kind of power.

"STOP IT GHOST"  he roars in pain, Ghost was trying to claw his way out forcefully, against his will, blood trails from Liam's nose as he shouts.

And then like a zap he was out before anyone could act or do anything.

"LORNA" Chase shouts in horror knowing Ghost was coming for her, but before him and the rest of the agents could do anything, the aura erupting out of Liam pushed them to the ground.

Lorna stumbles backwards as Ghost came for her like a plague, she halts with widen eyes unable to move as Ghost emerges from the darkness with a deep demonic growl.

Lorna eyes widen as a smirk formed on Ghost lips.

"It is time" he said with growl, he felt it and he knew it, he caught her scent instantly something he couldn't quite place before, like something was blocking it but now it was evident.

Ghost claw hands reach for the bandages covering his eyes removing it.

"Look... into... my eyes" he growls.

And she did, his eyes had a four clover leaf tattoo on both and then she saw it, the void, the darkness, it swallowed her whole and sparks something in her.

She screamed a ear piercing scream.
