Chapter 16 - A Dark secret

Kenny got angry with Wolf’s behaviour, but he knew not to expect anything better from a dirty criminal.
- “What is so amusing? And what’s the purpose of all this?” Kenny questioned.
- “You’ll soon find out my friend. But for now lower your gun. You can’t arrest me for I hid a bomb in this theatre and its detonator is with me. If I move away a certain distance from it then it will blow up the place with tonnes of pretty lights.”
- “Why are you doing this? What do you want?”
Wolf laughed at him again. Kenny began getting impatient. Here Angelika appeared just the way she usually does and stood next to Kenny. Wolf saw her and was a little bit intimidated.
- “Stand back you witch or I’ll blow us all up right now.” Wolf shouted to her.
- “Put the detonator down.” Angelika said, “We don’t want any casualties, not even you.”
- “I can’t care less.” Wolf said.
- “You can be a better person. Don’t do this. It won’t make you proud.” Angelika tried to explain.
- “Actually it would for I serve dark forces.”
- “What are you on about?” Kenny got confused.
- “I advise the two of you to get the hell out of here and save yourselves. I’ll blow up this whole place regardless of what you say.” Wolf said without hesitation.
- “What have these people done to you?” Angelika asked.
- “Cut out all the crap, seriously. It ain’t working on me.” Wolf began getting tired.
- “This one’s tough.” Angelika said quietly to Kenny, “My persuasive powers are not working on him.”
- “So what will it be? You leave and let these people die or you die with us?” Wolf gave them last choice.
Kenny took a deep breath, lowered his gun and then looked directly into robber’s eyes.
- “You know, you can do whatever you want, you can blow us all up, but in the end you won’t achieve anything. You’ll just waste a bunch of lives, including your own. Some of those lives could’ve changed the world for the better.” Kenny told him slowly.
Wolf then chuckled and here someone emerged from the darkness behind him. It was some kind of a creature and looked bloody and grotesque.
- “What is that?!” Kenny got horrified, “Am I dreaming?”
- “A fallen angel.” Angelika said, “I should’ve known.”
- “What do you mean?”
- “I was warned about the perfect balance. Me coming down here meant that we tipped the balance. In order to restore it someone evil must’ve come too and here he is.” Angelika explained with bitterness in her voice.
- “You got that right.” The fallen coughed out.
- “Now do you see my purpose?” Wolf said, “I’m on a mission too, just like you Kenny.”
- “The fallen had chosen his earthly companion too.” Kenny said quietly while looking at Angelika.
Angelika nodded to him with a look of terror in her eyes.
- “You might try to make the world a better place, but I will ruin it.” Wolf said.
- “You still have a choice.” Kenny told him.
- “We can’t change him anymore.” Angelika said to Kenny, “the only way is to fight them now.”
Silence dominated the place for a few seconds until Wolf broke it:
- “OK, can’t lose much time. Time to die.”
Kenny suddenly raised his gun and shot Wolf in the arm, causing him to drop the detonator.
- “Woah, quick reactions!” Wolf was surprised.
- “I’ll deal with this scumbag.” The fallen murmured and began approaching Kenny fast.
Kenny saw that and got scared, but here Angelika stood in front of him and stopped the fallen. Both of them collided and fell off the stage.
