Chapter 44: Georgia's Determination
If not for Number 6 he would now be having a taste of that woman. What further angered him was how intimate the woman was being with Number 6.
"Kill me and escape! It would be better than allowing that bastard to desecrate my body!" Georgia hurriedly said. Number 5\'s match had left a strong impression on her mind. She couldn\'t figure out how she could defeat that bastard in a fight, especially now that she was injured.
She felt it was the same for Jin who was much lower in body weight compared to the man. Therefore, she requested Jin to kill her and escape. With her injured leg, there was no hope for her left.
"That\'s a good idea but what makes you think I\'ll not do it with your corpse? I\'ll do it with you until my sac is emptied up and then I\'ll hang that naked body of yours on a street pole for the world to see the next morning.
There must be a reason why you had covered your face, I can\'t wait for the people you know to see you in such a state," The burly man let his disgusting thoughts out and continued.
"Though it\'s not like this bastard can escape from my grasp anyway. I\'ll kill him and then make love with you until you die. Hahaha! Look forward to it!" The man roared as he rushed towards Jin like a wild beast.
Hearing the man\'s words Georgia\'s whole body was shaking from fear. She was now totally devoid of hope. Jin could clearly feel her whole body shaking from trepidation as a small trace of anger evoked in his heart.
"Run!" Seeing the man rush towards them Georgia who had lost all hope exclaimed. She wanted Jin to at least make it out alive.
"I said run!" She once again exclaimed when she saw that Jin just stood there like a rock without doing anything. With the man only a few inches away from them she shouted in horror and closed her eyes.
*BANG*
When Georgia opened her eyes, she saw a stunned expression plastered on the burly man\'s face as a small bloody hole formed right in between his forehead. His lifeless body soon fell to the ground with a thud.
Georgia soon traced back her gaze to Jin and saw a gun firmly gripped in his hand.
"Let\'s go, that noise must have attracted some people," Jin said as he immediately walked out of the alley with Georgie leaning on to her.
A variety of questions kept on spawning in Georgia\'s mind as she walked along Jin in such close proximity.
\'How did he possess a gun?\'
\'How was it not found out during the frisking?\'
\'Am I really alive?\'
\'Why did he save me?\'
\'What is this weird feeling I\'m having?\'
\'What should I say to him?\'
.
.
.
The questions had no end to them. Jin signalled with his hand to a nearby taxi driver. The two of them soon sat inside the car.
"Where\'s your home?" Jin asked.
Jin\'s question pulled Georgia out of her stupor.
"Huh? Oh Yes, It\'s…" She soon told her address to the taxi driver and the cab started moving.
Throughout the journey, there was only silence between the two. Georgia wanted to ask so many things but she held back because of the driver.
The taxi soon reached the destination.
Georgia looked at Jin for a few seconds before saying out a heartfelt thank you.
"Thank you for today, I won\'t tell anyone about what happened today so you needn\'t worry," She assured Jin that his secret was safe with her.
"Alright, rest well," Jin nodded back at her. Although she looked beautiful he didn\'t want to get involved with this woman any further. This woman spelled trouble and he didn\'t want to make his life complicated by getting involved with her.
Sensing the distant tone in his voice Georgia was a bit saddened but she still smiled back at him and opened the door to leave.
The taxi soon left leaving a trail of lonely smoke behind.
Georgia sighed one last time while looking towards the departing car before turning around. The expression on her face now was that of determination. She will grow strong enough, so strong that he won\'t think of her as a liability and accept her feelings.
With her mind affixed, Georgia sneaked back into her estate following a familiar route.
…
Only when Jin had dropped Georgia back home did he receive the system\'s notification about mission completion. It could be said all this was part of the mission as well.
[Mission Accomplished: Grading A-> C: Reason: Identity compromised]
Reward: 5000KP
\'5000KP?\' Jin exclaimed.
\'If the reward for C grading was 5000 KP just how much was the reward for A grading?\' Jin thought in despair.
\'It was definitely at least 15000 KP…\' Jin sighed at the thought.
"I just had to save a damsel in distress…" Jin mocked himself as he turned his sight outside the window.
He opened up the system store and looked at the goods.
------------------System Store----------------------
1) Beretta M9 - 3000 KP
2) Inventory Space (+1) - 1500 KP
3) Pain Killers – 750 KP
4) Cartridge (9x19mm) x50 - 50 KP
Balance: 5000 KP
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jin observed the items.
\'That should be one heck of a pain killer if you\'re selling it for that much huh?\' Jin thought. He bought another inventory space with his points.
Today was one such incident where the importance of the inventory function was shown. If he could store more important items in his inventory then that would only turn out to be for the better.
