Hatton was a small village located west of London, it was quite close to the airport and had a mix of hos, small businesses, churches and industries.
The village had a quiet suburban feel and watching the taxi drive off I could already feel several eyes on .
One of the issues with such locations was that any new face easily grabbed attention and worst off, my light dress made for a stark contrast to the thick coats and sweaters the people around wore.
I glanced at my surroundings and then began moving towards my target.
I had thought Bettany and Mike would be entering a building close by but to my surprise, echo revealed them to be several ters away from where they had dropped.
Walking briskly, I stopped after so minutes and used echo once more sighing as my weird actions garnered scrutinizing glances from the folks around.
"I really need to get better with this thing," I told myself as I resud walking.
Unlike , Bettany and Mike moved within the narrow paths of the Alleys and the first chance I got, when I felt there were the least eyes on , I ducked into an alley.
Out of the gazes of the public, I increased my speed, especially since my targets were moving surprisingly fast.
There were a few areas where I found myself having to run past to avoid detection but then on my next use of echo, I ca to a stop because my targets had turned and began heading towards .
"I knew sothing was up"
I had been chasing the couple for more than 10 minutes and though it had taken so ti to notice due to my deep investnt, I soon figured out that I was taking a circular part around the village.
I had initially thought that it was just a unique route to whatever secret location that the two were headed but their hurried pace didn't make sense.
Busted I continued moving forward, ready to make contact with them, but the question of how they had figured out my location stung my brain.
"Perhaps they have people in one of the houses I walked by" I reasoned.
It didn't take long for and the duo to et and it was within a large alley with a tall wooden fence to the side that we saw our faces.
Stopping so ters from each other both Mike and I carefully studied each other while Bettany had on an amused expression.
"Did you get lost" Mike started but I had a critical appointnt after this and didn't have ti to waste.
From the airport, I had been civil with them acting helpless and in need, but now the act was up, from the expression on the duo's face it was clear they knew sothing was up with .
"Where is Lucy"
Closely observing both individuals I noticed the surprise that appeared in their eyes but before Mike could speak, Bettany did.
"Don't tell you fell for her."
I ignored her and kept my eyes on Mike and he shrugged.
"Like I said, we don't talk to each other anymore, I don't know where she is."Mike shrugged but his eyes beca narrowed.
"I know where she is" Bettany teased and this ti my eyes turned to her.
"Where?"
"Sowhere"
"I see"
Imdiately the words ca out, I moved pushing against the ground, speeding towards Bettany and arriving in front of her, my fings in a claw shape shot out.
I wanted to grab Bettany's face, but before that could happen, a kick flew out from the side heading to my hand just as I expected.
Cancelling the attack halfway, I imdiately spun on my right leg and without delay delivered a roundhouse kick to Mike's face.
Imdiately, Mike shot off the ground and smashed into the wall of a house by the side and not delaying, I reached for Bettany who had beco stunned by the turn of events and grabbed her neck.
"Talk, or I'll tell Mike what kind of a girlfriend you are"
I honestly thought my threat to be at least substantial, but Bettany rely smiled and the next second I had to jump from beside her as Mike returned to her side and though I had retreated, he pursued .
Speeding towards , he sent out a kick and when I blocked it, he pushed forward, moving much faster than before and threw a punch to my guts.
Unprepared, I saw the punch coming but could do nothing to stop it.
"Fuck" I cried out as Mike's big fist slamd into my belly, sending shooting backwards and falling to the ground, entering into an uncontrollable roll.
I gripped my stomach in anguish as I ca to a stop and then a voice sounded.
"You don't get up when it stops hurting, you get up Imdiately."
With mind vision, I saw what was coming and this ti, I sent myself rolling backwards and avoided a brutal kick from.
"So, you're an awakened" Mike said studying as I got to my feet.
"Where is Lucy, what did you do with her."
"What makes you think I did sothing to her," Mike asked and when he saw my frown he continued.
"Don't tell you ran all the way here ready to reveal your status as an awakened and die at my hands just because of Lucy."
I raised an eyebrow at Mike calling an awakened when the system said I was still yet to reach that stage.
"What if I did?"
Mike shook his head at my answer but just as he was about to reply, he used as a frown ca to his lips.
"How did you know I was going to London, and how co you were in Colorado."
"I see you're not just muscles" I comnted.
"What did you do to Abul" Mike asked quickly figuring out my origin.
I smiled at Mike's words and licked my lips.
" Nothing much, I just beat up him, Sleazy and the 8 other guys including the shopkeeper.
I have them knocked out and tied up back in the drug room, my boys ready to call the police on them at any ti."
"What do you want" Mike asked.
"It seed I praised your intelligence too early."
"Tch" Mike snorted and unfazed by my threat pushed towards .
Running towards each other, the second we were in attacking range, we both launched a punch, our right fists slamming into each other's looking to dominate.
Bam!
Overpowering Mike's fist and sending it flying to the side, I took a step forward and smashed him in the gut with my left fist, making his back curve outward.
