Gabriel #16
“So? Where are the money?”
Rose raised her voice impatiently.
“Yeah, the thing is...”
Gabriel gently smiled.
“There are none. You see, I am just passerby and I heard that some local girl was kidnapped, so I decided to help out a little, however this….”
Professor shrugged his shoulder. Causing stunned silence.
“What do you mean there are none?”
Yelled Rose on a verge of hysteria while one of her guys asked.
“S**t, we screwed up? What now?”
“No...no...that´s not how it´s supposed to be, what if he´ll talk? What than?
“We have to silence him!”
Rose yelled again.
“What? This was only supposed to be act! No one was supposed to be hurt let alone die!”
Gabriel´s eyes widened as the conversation was turning, for him, in very unpleasant direction.
“What? Wait a second, you definitely don´t have to do that. See, since there is no real hostage in danger, I´ll just turn around and walk away as if I was never here.”
As he said, he tried to turn around and walk, however right at the time the guy standing closest to him grabbed his shoulder and pulled.
“Like hell you will!”
He yelled while thrusting with a hunting knife against professor Moon. That guy was complete amateur without any real fighting experiences. Way slower than Myra, but yet being surprised the only thing Gabriel managed to do at the moment was clenching his muscles before the blade hit him and he fell on the ground.
“What the...are you mad?”
“You killed him? My god, you killed him?”
“That wasn´t supposed to happen, I am fisherman no murderer, I am leaving!”
“No one will leave!”
Once again Rose´s voice silenced everyone else as she was wildly moving her gun from left to right to keep everyone in check.
“No one will leave! You agreed to help me and you will stay here to the end, do you understand?”
Silent as if he was really dead, Gabriel was lying on the ground cursing.
“Turning your muscles into steel, blades will break when they´ll hit your skin my ***...**** this hurts...”
It was a close call. Back than, when Gabriel noticed the blade his instincts kicked in and he tried one of the techniques he managed to salvage with the help of Myra´s medical knowledge. However as it turned out his Indestructible was still imperfect or the old masters exaggerated it´s effectiveness. Either way, he got stabbed. Not much, but still it was painful and he definitely didn´t want to experience it again. And so for the time being Gabriel decided to play possum. At least until his reinforcement´ll arrive. After all when it worked for Beast why it shouldn´t work for him?
