Chapter 115 Team’s Request!
Police Headquarters – Red City,
Waiting area- Emergency Clinic,
Jimmy Herman is sitting in the waiting area with Pam Levine. Vice Captain Alan & Ms. Lottie went back to their room to get freshened.
They have been spending most of the time here by sitting and looking at their Captain in the Clinic Room.
“It’s really disturbing to wait here and watch over our Captain. Those two assistant healers were tight lipped about his conditions.” Ms. Pam complained with worry.
She seems to be talking to herself, but she is saying to Jimmy Herman Beside him.
“Sighs”
Jimmy Herman let out a small sigh and replied in a low tone, “It would be good if I go for a mission. It will keep us distracted for a bit. As you just said, it’s really painful to sit here and watch over him.”
Ms. Pam Levine bit her lips and commented, “Unless there is special condition, even for a mission it’s difficult for two of us to go. We are just two support wizards.”
Jimmy Herman twitched, she directly pinpointed the issue. Unlike other wizards, they can’t even do a solo mission. Unless there is a special mission, where they can use their ability to assist the team to complete the mission.
Suddenly, Ms. Pam Levine turned towards Jimmy Herman and asked, ” Hey, When do you think those two guys will come out of the clinic?”
Jimmy Herman raised his head and to see those two assistant healers. He understands that she will again pester those two.
“You don’t trouble them again. We can talk to our Vice Captain about it.” Jimmy Herman replied to her in a calm tone.
Just as they were talking, a silhouette walked towards them.
Hearing footsteps Jimmy Herman turned his head to see the person. “Vice Captain?” He immediately called out.
Both of them stood up and walked towards him. Vice Captain Alan Pitts halted his footsteps after seeing them.
Jimmy Herman asked looking at him, “Vice Captain, Why don’t you ask Sir. Wizard Mictchell about our Captain’s condition?”
By hearing such a sudden question, Vice Captain Alan stunned then looking at Jimmy & Ms. Pam in front of him, he replied, “Don’t tell me, you guys again troubled those two assistant healers.”
He had already told them no to pester them, otherwise Wizard Mitchell would be displeased when he hears about it.
By hearing Vice Captain’s words, Jimmy Herman turned his head to look at Ms. Pam Levine.
Seeing two of them, Ms. Pam Levine immediately turned her head away. She avoided direct eye contact with Vice Captain Alan.
Seeing two of their reactions, Mr. Alan shook his head in helplessness.
Then he said, “Don’t worry, I will ask Wizard Mitchell. Just wait for Ms. Lottie to come back. We will go as a team”
An hour later,
Investigative Dept Head’s Cabin,
After some contemplation and background checking, Level-5 Metal Wizard, Billy Woods. Finally made up his mind to go near BellRook City to investigate. He is not sure about the authenticity of the anonymous intel. So before making sure he won’t request assistance.
Since the intel said that location is a secret new branch of the Poison Dagger Organization. Old man alone is enough to take care of a few level-4 wizards.
“Even if the three pillars of Poison Dagger come across me. The old man won’t hesitate to shoot.” Wizard Billy mumbled to himself. While saying a ruthless glint flashes in his eyes. He is almost sick of this evil organization on top of it, his own government pressure.
He had told them multiple times, it’s best to eliminate these evil wizards before they grew out as clouds and gathered their own momentum. But the government people were ignorant. Now I’m facing the trouble of cleaning up their sh!t.
“Harumph,” the old man snorted in dissatisfaction.
“Ding!” A notification sound rung in front of him.
“Oh” He is taken back by the sudden notification. He seems to recall there is no appointment whatsoever at this time.
“Hmmm” He retraced his unnecessary thoughts & read the notification.
After seeing a hint of light flashes in his eyes. “These little kids? Why have they come here?” He thought to himself.
These little kids were none other than Captain Tyler’s team members. Vice Captain Alan, Ms. Lottie, Ms. Pam Levine & Jimmy Herman were waiting outside in worry.
Seeing the group of people, old man Billy pressed the button on his desk.
“Creak” the door opens.
Next moment, four of them walked inside.
It’s rare for them to muster up their courage & come here. Only Captain of the team, Level 4 Wizard is qualified to come here. Last time was a bit of fluke with help of Wizard Mitchell, Vice Captain Alan came last time.
Unless there is no appointment, it’s rare for even level 4 existence to come. After stepping inside various thoughts run in their mind. But none of them have courage to open their mouths.
Seeing the pale stricken face of everyone, old man Billy asked, “Little fellows, What happened? Is he alright?”
While talking he gazes at everyone. He seems to understand what is going on. But so far he is upto date with Tyler’s health condition. If there is an emergency, the first person Wizard Mitchell would have contacted must be him.
He is quite sure that there is no change in Tyler’s health condition. So these little fellows came for something else.
By hearing Dept Head’s deep voice, Jimmy felt lightning struck on his head. “How can even his voice turn out to be so powerful?” This is the first time Jimmy came to his cabin.
Before he has seen him in some meetings. For a moment he is really speechless.
This is the same situation where other words don’t come out of their mouths. Ms. Lottie & Ms. Pam turned towards Vice Captain Alan. He is the second in command after their Captain.
Vice Captain Alan felt gazes on his, he sighed internally, “I hope, Dept Head won’t get angry with us.”
Mr. Alan raised his head and answered, “Dept Head, We heard Captain Tyler’s recent health condition from Sir. Wizard Mitchell.”
Then he further added, “We came here to ask for permission to find a cure for his poison.” After saying that he controlled his nerves.
Others beside him also nervously glanced at Dept Head.
Old Man Billy is stunned, he is pleased with the courage of these people. Other wizards are quite afraid to see him. But these fellows in his Departments were quite better. His face reveals a small butter smile thinking about their request.
He read previous reports about their last mission. It’s quite a miracle for them to escape alive from their last mission. For level 3 Wizards like them level-4 existence is too much. Old man thought these fellows would never think about such missions.
But he got such a pleasant surprise that he can use this little team to investigate the city.
By looking at them he replied, “I know about his worsening condition. Unless there is a cure it’s impossible to save him. And I’m not even sure whether the cure is even exist or not.”
By hearing his words four of their moods worsens a little bit. These are the exact words told by Wizard Mitchell. Everyone is talking about a cure but no one is sure about it.
Everyone is saying it purely in an assumption. Only Mucus Wizard Leon Willy can answer their question. If there is really no cure, then there is nothing they can do about it.
Such thoughts run in four of their minds. They are not even sure whether they are going to find anything.
Old Man Billy observed everyone’s expression then with a bitter smile he added further, “Well, instead of wasting time we can at least try.”
His words brought some hope & confidence to them. If their Dept Head is willing to do something then there is some chance to find results.
Old Man Billy said, “I got some clues regarding Poison Dagger. I heard there were some movements in BellBrook City. I’m planning to go there at night. If four of you want, you can go there as a team to investigate.”
By hearing his words, Vice Captain Alan’s mood brightens; he immediately answers, “Thank You, Dept Head.” b𝚍no𝚟l.
Ms. Lottie & others also followed, thanking their Dept Head. It’s not easy to go out of the headquarters to investigate. It must be done under some kind of mission.
Dept Head might be saying casually, but they know it’s a mission. They need to do it carefully & look for those rogues.
Seeing everyone’s bright mood, old man Billy sighed. Then he said, “Okay, I just thought of something. Your team has no Captain, in other means there is no level-4 existence.”
Vice Captain Alan nodded at him, He understands as per the rule some missions must have Level-4 existence as a Captain. Especially when it comes to missions related to Level-4 Wizards.
In this case they are going to investigate Level-4 Wizard Leon Willy. He is not a normal existence, he is almost invincible at the same rank. So it’s impossible for their team to go without a level-4 Wizard.
“This?” Vice Captain Alan has no answer for this predicament. You can’t simply move other level-4 wizards for this mission. Because every Level-4 Wizard here in this headquarters has their own team to lead.
For this only the Dept Head can do something about it. Otherwise they can forget about this mission. Helplessly he looked at his team members beside him.
