Rise of the Crusader

116 Jersey Saint Hospital IV

Sonia stood at the entrance of the secret room and stared at it from there.

She soon moved her gaze to Wesley, and when Wesley felt her overbearing gaze on him, he gulped hard. And his body was drenched in cold sweats.

“Lead the way, you better pray there’s no one there, or else I’m going to shred you into pieces.” She declared.

Wesley wiped the sweats that were on his forehead and took a deep breath. Without delay, he hurried into the secret room, and even though he was astonished to see the room light on, he kept a straight face.

Sonia clasped her hand beneath her back, as she walked behind Wesley. Her gaze was all over the place just in case of any event that might occur.

It took only a few seconds and Sonia and Wesley arrived in front of the funds. There was no sign of Aiden and Camille in any area of the room, as the Instant they heard the sound of a footstep, they hurried into a safe place.

As Sonia stared at the stacked cash and the items in the room, a very stern expression appeared on her face. She began to walk around the room with her eyes glued to the piles of gold and all other items in front.

“Madam Sonia, I can assure you the funds are in perfect condition and no harm will befall them,” Wesley said and forced a smile to appear on his face.

He was, however, greeted by a scornful look from Sonia. She seized him from head to toe seemingly disgusted and after a second she moved her gaze away.

.....

“Has there been any abnormality in the hospital lately?” Sonia asked.

Wesley paused for a bit, and said, “No, madam Sonia.”

“There has not been any abnormality in the slightest in the hospital, we have been in perfect condition.” Wesley responded, “Madam Sonia, I know you’re worried about the situation, but the hospital is in safe hands, trust me.”

While Wesley tried to reassure Sonia about the status of the hospital, Sonia didn’t even seem to consider any of the words he had spoken at all. She took a few steps backward and said.

“I will have more guards in the hospital, and if there’s any problem of any sort in this hospital, inform me immediately,” Sonia exclaimed. “What did I say?!”

“Yes sir... I mean... Yes, ma.” Wesley stuttered.

A smirk then came from Sonia, and she walked towards the staircase. She had only taken a few steps when she turned her back at the stacked cash, diamonds, piles of gold, and others, and after a brief moment, she headed back to the office.

Wesley waited for her to leave the staircase before he hurried to the office.

Wesley was delighted that when Sonia got to the office, she didn’t waste any time, and left afterward.

“Let’s go!”

A second after Sonia arrived on the seventh floor, her loud voice rang out. It wasn’t then up to two minutes after she spoke, and her assistant was in front of her.

The two of them soon walked into the elevator of the hospital and once they were out of sight, Wesley took a deep breath. He wiped the sweats that were on his forehead and readjusted the medical suit he had on.

Meanwhile, throughout the entire time that Sonia appeared on the seventh floor, and even when she left the hospital, she was being watched.

It was only after she stepped into the black limousine and set off that the person who was watching her stopped and informed the others about the detail.

“Aiden, Camille, the both of you can continue with the transfer,” Naomi said.

A dark spiraling portal appeared in the secret room soon after, and Aiden and Camille jumped out of the portal.

“Aiden, you really need to get your head in the game. You can’t possess this sort of power and keep using it to handle petty duties” Camille complained.

The complaints had started since when they had to move the items back into the secret room, and also disappear, and it continued when they appeared back in the room.

Camille hadn’t expected to lash out at Aiden this much, but neither did she expect that it was this bad. There was so much potential that Aiden was capable of unlocking, but because of his playfulness, he was lacking very much behind.

“How is it that you aren’t able to transport into any random place, and it must only be the area that you’re familiar with? What’s the point of possessing the ability to manipulate space and time?” Camille blurted.

Aiden bit his lower lips as Camille spoke, he then clenched his hand into tight fists and after a second, he stretched both of his hands forward.

The stacked cash, piles of gold, silvers, diamonds, and all other treasures in the room began to tremble violently.

Camille’s eyes twitched as she saw the change in the surrounding. She turned her gaze to Aiden, who had shut his eyes, and a light smile appeared on her face.

The dark spiraling portal expanded, and after it had covered almost half of the room it appeared to possess some suction force as the items in the room flew into it.

Whether it was the stacked cash, the piles of golds, the silvers, the diamonds, they all flew into it in the dark portal.

“Aiden,” Camille muttered with joy and excitement present in her voice.

With the speed at which the items in the room were pulled into the dark portal, it only took about a few minutes, and the room was empty.

The previous room that was filled with jewelry, gold, and silvers of all kinds was soon void of everything. Apart from Aiden and Camille who was in the room, there wasn’t anything else inside the room, nothing even in a speck of dust existed.

“Whew...”

A second after all the funds in the secret room was cleared, and the dark portal disappeared, Aiden opened his eyes.

He balled his hand into a tight fist and stood upright.

The expression that was on Camille’s face brought a smile to appear on Aiden. He puffed his chest out and was about to speak when he heard Naomi’s voice.

“Good job, Aiden and Camille. You can leave the hospital now that the funds have been moved out.” Naomi paused, “The second stage of the plan will commence now.”

Another portal was soon created in the secret room, and Aiden and Camille walked into the portal.

“Xavier, Sean, Becky, and Bane... You’re up!”

Once the four of them heard Naomi’s voice, the destruction of the hospital infrastructure started.

Sean was already standing in front of the hospital power supply system, and when Naomi’s voice rang out, he pulled the switch over and destroyed the circuit afterward.

As the light in the hospital went off, it was soon turned on back because of the backup generator that they had. However, that was only for a matter of time.

Sean dashed towards the generator, and with black lightning coiling around his body, he shot it at the generator.

Boom!

The generator was blown apart, and the whole hospital descended into complete darkness.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

As the hospital emergency alarm rang through the whole building, the hospital plunged into chaos. It wasn’t just the light that went off, but the machines as well.

And as if that weren’t terrible enough, three health care facilities in the hospital were on fire. The residents in the hospital tried to use water to shut the fire, but it came as a huge shock to them that not even a droplet of water was in the hospital.

“Help...”

Help!!!!!!!”

The cries of agony of the people in the hospital, are it children or adults reverberated the whole area. Everyone was running helter-skelter with panic on the faces of everyone in the hospital.

Meanwhile, Wesley had just returned to the meeting room when the light went off in the hospital.

Wesley and the six other directors were confused, and as one of them was quick to make use of the flashlight of his cell phone, they glanced at one another.

“Why hasn’t the backup generator been used, What is wrong with this people!” One of the directors exclaimed.

As the entire seventh floor was soundproof, none of them could hear the wails of the people in the hospital, and they had assumed it was simply the light going off and nothing else was attached.

Wesley moved to the glass window and as he pulled the curtains, and stared outside, he staggered a few steps backward.

“Wesley, what is...” The male director had only just uttered a few words when he saw the smoke outside.

He stood abruptly from his seat and walked towards Wesley.

Apart from the man, the others also experienced a shock as well from seeing the smoke, and one after the other they stood from their seats.

“Wesley, I think this is the emergency that Sonia was talking about.”
