Chapter 253 - They were the fools

"You okay?" the guy asked Diana, as he sensed the sudden changes in car. The temperature around them seem to lowered and the girl had her eyes glued on her mobile device, which will be rude if he peep.

'Come to me, or your boyfriend dies…

I'm sure you're familiar with your teacher's abilities. If that virus reached up to his brain, his brain will be shut down.

That won't be a problem anyway, since he's going to die. If you take too long, it might be too late to revive him… tick tock, tick tock.

And oh! to make it fun, you might have noticed I didn't include an address, so find me.'

Diana read the message attached. Instead of fear, Diana felt enraged. She has passed the stage where fear will be her next feeling at such a situation.

Fear will only affect her train of thought. She knew she finally dragged Ethan in her mess at the end, but she's not going to let him die. Even if she dies, Ethan must live.

Guilt? Not at all. At least not at the moment, because Ethan has clearly informed her that it's his choice to be with her no matter what comes from it.

"Stop the car, I need to ease myself." Diana said and dropped her phone besides her, acting natural. Her expression has taken a sharp turn.

They were still within the suburb of the city, but the area was an isolated one. He stopped the car beside the road and waited patiently for her to go and do whatever she wanted to do.

He knew for sure that she's not going down to ease herself, but to respond to whatever had made her look shock a while ago. Probably make a call or something.

Seeing her struggling with the door, he raised his brow, "need help?" he asked.

"Hum.. yeah." Diana replied, but still struggling with it. Within her struggling, she has tampered with something on the lock, but the door could open from outside.

The guy wanted to help from within  but with the way Diana was handling the lock, he doubted he could open it easily without their body touching, and he didn't like much body contact or weird situation.

Diana's gaze sharpened as he opened the car and stepped out. Before he could walk towards the other side, she has taken control of the wheel.

"F*ck!" the guy cursed and sigh as Diana reversed the car and make a loud screech sound as the car make a fast turn. He didn't bother chasing and watched as she sprinted off.

He knew the matter must be grave for her to resort to that. He looked at his wallet that was thrown outside by Diana before she left and went to pick it up. Of course she wouldn't throw his phone, as it won't be different from not having the phone at all.

But then, he saw something for into the bush beside the road. It was his phone. "how considerate." he muttered and went to pick it up.

He let out a sharp breath and began walking back to the town on foot, hopefully meet someone willing to assist him with a lift on the way.

...

Diana drove like an insane person till she got into town, parked at one side of the street and reached for her bag at the back seat, bringing out her laptop in a hurry.

She switched it on with an enraged expression on her face. She traced the email Austin sent and began tracking it's location.

It didn't take her more than 5 minutes to locate where the email was sent from. She didn't dwell much on it after realizing it's sent from a certain street.

That only proves, it was sent while the sender was moving. She began hacking into the surveillance camera at that particular street to get clues.

That was tough on her, but she hasn't lost her skill because she was being showered with affection during her stay with Ethan. She's not an idiot, not to realize the person is up to something and probably toying with her.

If that's not the case, he wouldn't ask her to find them and give her an address.

If he could get Ethan on the day he's leaving the country…..

The traveling was sudden and not planned beforehand, yet he was able to find out. That could only mean, he's been watching them for a while now.

She realized some footage were missing and began retrieving it. It wasn't easy, but she still got something. The picture wasn't clear, but she saw the ambulance in sepia effect.

The picture sent to her clearly show that he's inside a van and coupled with her assumption on how the person could have pulled such a trick and get her man, an ambulance it is.

All those were useless though. For her to make it useful, she will have to start retrieving all the erased footage, which will only waste more time.

Her breathing started to get more erratic before she knew it. Beads of perspiration surfacing on her forehead. Her heart feel stuffed as if a heavy load was put on her head, making everything hard for her breathing.

She paused for a few minutes and recites, 'it's going to be okay' continuously like a mantra. She assured herself that she's trained for this sort of things.

Finding targets that she most likely don't have any clue about their where about and take them out.

She calm down after and think first before acting. The guy wanted her, so he surely wouldn't block all the means of finding them.

"Ethan's phone." she suddenly muttered to herself and get into action immediately.

...

Meanwhile.

Austin couldn't help but chuckle as the footage he was damn sure even the airport people wouldn't be able to restore to locate him, was retrieved by Diana within a short amount of time.

He let out a cheeky smile, but sorrow filled his heart as his mind drifted to Jenny. He recalled her laughter when she was mocking Diana, as the worst assassin she has ever met.

The girl Isn't as they both pictured. They were the fools.
