ASSISTANT CULUN

Chapters 13. Toxic Knives

The Trias-driven car enters the courtyard of X Senior High School following a black minivan carrying another team. The security of the school was ready and lined up to form a fence to prevent students from swarming Darren.

Hysterical screams were heard as one by one the team got out of the car. Especially when Darren came down and waved at the students who were waiting.

"Are you okay?" Darren whispered to Abigail as the two entered the guest star special tent.

Abigail was astonished, but she just nodded.

"Close your ears when it hurts to hear their screams."

"I'm fine Sir."

Hearing Abigail's reply, Darren stopped and stared intently at the Assistant. "I think it's important I've reminded." she said tightly and sat down immediately.

Abigail fell silent, her eyebrows twitched. Once again he saw the fickle Darren. Sometimes he is annoying, angry, insulting, nosy but a moment later he changes his attention.

What happened to Darren?

Abigail could only take a deep breath. He will survive, because soon this mission will end.

According to Micah's calculations, soon the real culprit will surely act. Because it seems like the mastermind of the murder forgets, sometimes if humans are already depressed and too afraid, they can turn brave or reckless. And judging from his character, Darren will definitely be reckless.

Outside the tent, the shouts of the students were increasingly rumbling. I heard the MCs were opening the show. Rui and Roki are busy fixing the makeup and also the outfit that Darren uses.

Abigail only watched from afar, and sometimes her and Darren's gazes met. Abigail did not bother to break eye contact, because their eyes were blocked by some people who went back and forth between Abigail and Darren.

A few dozen minutes later, Darren was welcome to the stage, which was a short distance away from the tent. Trias and Abigail followed behind.

Without Trias and Darren knowing, Abigail's eyes wildly scanned the entire location.

Shit man!!!Too many!!! Rutuk Abigail in his heart.

Although Micah had already placed some snipers, Abigail was still wary. Elsewhere, Micah felt it. He was agitated, even though the headset never escaped his ears. For some reason since Abigail had entered this mission, Micah had always been overwhelmed with anxiety.

Abigail observed that if she misinformed, the minors would die in vain. Abigail twisted her body, she lost focus.

"Athena! What's up?" the voice of a man from the headset resuscitated him.

"Either Morgan, I'm so restless." Abigail bit her lower lip.

"Retreat, we'll replace you." 

"No way, people will be suspicious if you come."

"Focus Athens!" suddenly Micah's voice was heard.

"Sister." Abigail's stuck.

"We're right behind you. Brother's behind you." Micah calms Abigail.

"Thank you." Abigail is back in focus.

Meanwhile in the center of The Lighthouse's control room, Micah hurls the body into his chair violently.

"What's wrong?" The newly arrived Tania was astonished by Micah's face.

"Send the medical team to the location of Athens now. My gut says something bad will happen."

Tania's face changed. "What about Athena?"

"He's nervous."

Micah's short answer was enough to make Tania immediately put on a headset and call the medical team who had been on guard two blocks from the school.

"Troy, code blue! Come to the location of Athens!"

Tania disconnected, she looked at Micah anxiously.

"Calm down." she asked.

"Either Tania, Abigail and I have never told this story while on a mission."

"He'll be fine."

Micah closed his eyes, he took a deep breath. "Please alert Liam and his army. If anything happens to Abigail. I'm not letting them go."

Tania stiffened, for a long time she had not seen Micah's face like this. The last time was 15 years ago when the accident killed the entire Abigail family.

☘️☘️☘️

On stage, Darren performed very nicely. Her melodious voice, blending perfectly with a powerful koreo.

Darren's handsome face was filled with sweat, but it did not diminish the perfection of his appearance. Even as she wiped the sweat in a cool style, the female students and teachers cried out hysterically.

Abigail was busy circulating her gaze until she was unaware, from the stage Darren had looked at her for a few seconds. Until a backup dancer nudges him to restore Darren's focus.

Two songs that Darren performed successfully heated the stage pension. Until he came down, the hysterical screams did not stop.

Abigail stared in amazement at the spectators. They are not responsible for exploring the vocal cords.

"How's it?" Darren asked Abigail when he saw the girl staring in amazement around.

"You are amazing, sir." Abigail looked at Darren with sparkling eyes. And Darren likes that look.

"Come, come back soon." Trias' voice made Abigail refocus.

Just a few steps away, Abigail was shocked when there was the sound of a falling object violently. Dozens of students ran towards Darren.

"Ware!!! The limiter!!!" half-dragging Trias forced Darren to go even faster. He knows the singer is tired, but this is for Darren's safety as well.

Abigail scanned around. Suddenly he caught the strange movement of an ordinary dressed woman. It was clear he was not from the school environment.

Quickly the woman approached a schoolgirl, then another student whispered to her colleague.

The knife!!!

Abigail saw the end of the object. Quickly he headed towards the student, even Abigail pushed violently at everyone in front of her. He did not care about the curse that was addressed to him.

The student moved, Abigail saw him approaching another student again. After being behind his target, Abigail caught the last student's arm.

"Where's the knife?!" Abigail clutched the young girl's arm firmly.

"Damn it!!!" Abigail hurled violently.

But the tip of his eye caught another movement on Darren's left side. Abigail pushed the two students in front of her. As the road opened wide, Abigail took wide steps.

The student grinned when he saw Abigail coming. He quickly swung his right hand which was carrying a knife.

At the same time Abigail immediately reached out her left hand to pull Darren.

"Aackhhhh!!!!"

Blood began to flow, Abigail raised her left leg and kicked the offender.

"Daddy!!!"

Abigail's screams of pain left Darren aghast. Especially when he saw a student fall with a knife still in his grasp.

"Sister Trias, take Darren away!!!"

Just as the girl was about to get up and attack again, a shot managed to injure the girl's right shoulder.

The atmosphere sounded. Darren's cheering cry turned into a scream of fear. The students who witnessed the incident ran.

Darren threw Trias' hand, he approached Abigail and took her to the tent. While the security services hired by the school have secured the perpetrators.

As Darren was about to reach the tent, suddenly several people in nurse uniforms came over.

"Let's go over there." They pointed to an ambulance that was already open.

Darren helps Abigail up, and she prepares to enter. But someone held him and forbade Darren from ascending.

"I'm not going anywhere!"

The nurse looked at the doctor who was ready to examine Abigail. After getting approval, he let Darren in.

Doctors began examining the cut on Abigail's hand. The wound was not deep, but the edges of the wound had already turned blue.

Abigail swallowed her saliva violently. "I.this."

"The knife is poisonous." murmured the Doctor.

Abigail looked at the Doctor before her anxiously.

"Calm down."

Abigail nodded, after all, Doctor Troy had always been able to save her from the poison.

Troy took an ampoule of liquid yellow-golden and dark-red from a small cooling box.

He sucked both liquids and injected them into Abigail.

"What's that?" Darren stopped the Doctor's movements.

"It's to get the poison out." java Troy calmly.

After Darren took off his hand checks, Troy returned to the task.

Abigail felt an excruciating pain in her veins She bit her lips to reduce the pain that lasted only a moment.

After that Troy cleaned up and immediately bandaged Abigail's wound. He also gave Abigail medicine to drink.

"The purging process will hurt a lot…"

"I can handle it." Abigail cut off Troy's speech.

The doctor smiled behind his mask. "Alright." he then took something from among the objects behind him.

"This is my card, if there's anything with your assistant call us immediately." Troy handed Darren his business card. Abigail who saw that just thinned her lips.

"Thank you Doctor."

Darren takes the card and helps Abigail to get out of the Ambulance.

As soon as the two left, Troy immediately faced a hidden camera.

"He'll be fine" he told Micah in the control room.

☘️☘️☘️

While Darren accompanies Abigail, Trias meets the school principal and files a complaint over the assault. The headmaster who did not understand anything promised to fully investigate the case.

Although Trias was dissatisfied with the Headmaster's reply, he couldn't possibly suppress the middle-aged man. Because he was aware, this incident still has something to do with the terror experienced by Darren.

On his way back to the tent, Trias was surprised by Rosalin's assistant who came with a bunch of flowers.

"Flower for Mr. Darren." said the young man then left.

Trias only sighed violently and went inside the tent. In there Roki and Rui did not stop asking Abigail about her condition.

"Let's go home!" exciting Trias.

"Where's the flower from?" ask Roki enthusiastically.

"Roslin."

Trias did not want to linger, so he asked the whole team to leave the place immediately.

Darren held Abigail's hand warmly. "Abi, come on."

Due to the effects of that poison and the antidote that started to work, the newly standing Abi suddenly wavered and fell unconscious in Darren's arms.

With the help of Trias and Roki, they picked up Abigail and put the girl in the backseat with Darren.

"Do we have to go to the hospital?" from behind the wheel Trias looked anxious.

"no need. The doctor gave him medicine. Let's just go home to my apartment."

Trias nodded and immediately drove the car away from the school parking lot.
