Chapter 296: Always a spy!
"What! What happened?" Alex yelled.
"He was shot in the head," the man explained.
Giovanni's teeth clenched in anger. "This is definitely Grey! He’s acting really faster than we expect. Gosh, why didn't I see this coming?" He mumbled.
Alex hit his head in anger. "I told you it was Grey. He was probably the one that took the result," he looked at his father. "What should we do?”
Giovanni went quiet for a moment as he thought about it. "I need to call in Pablo Gotti," he announced.
Grey didn’t move from his position for over an hour. In fact, it first looked as though he had zoomed out of the world.
It was over two hours before Alfred and the rest of the elders arrived at the cemetery. And in fact, there was no one at the cemetery again except for Grey and the caretaker.
Aphrodite didn’t move closer until Alfred and the others had arrived.
"What! He has been there since you came here?" Alfred was surprised.
"He has. He hasn't turned or stood. I wonder what is really happening with him," Aphrodite responded.
And they all walked closer to him.
They hesitated behind him for a moment. Grey's eyes were closed but he was shedding tears.
"Why are you here?" Grey said suddenly before Alfred would start something.
"We are here to get you, Grey. You have to leave here," he announced.
Grey sighed. "I'm not ready to leave. I will when I'm done."
"We need to talk about some matters, Hercules," Gregory initiated.
Grey sighed again. "I want to be with my father for now."
"How long have you been here?" Jayden demanded.
"I think this is the only thing I can do considering the fact that the murderer is somewhere enjoying his life," there was sarcasm in his voice.
Alfred cleared his throat. 'We need to leave here to be able to talk and we have a lot of things to talk about. Please, Hercules."
Grey hesitated for a moment before he got up. He turned to look at the elders one after the other. " Let's go," he announced and started towards the car. The elders followed after him.
Grey entered the car and released a sigh. He felt so exhausted. In fact, he had been unstable since morning. He went to his mother's tombstone before he went to his father's cemetery. He just felt so angry and sad at the same time.
Alfred entered the car that Grey entered. He didn't want to go to his house because of Leo. So, they drove to Grey's house.
The door opened suddenly, jerking Grey out of his thought.
"What do you guys want to discuss with me? Is Charles dead and you are hesitating to inform me about it?” He demanded as he stepped out of the car and entered the living room.
The elders followed after.
Alfred's phone rang suddenly. He picked it up. 'Yes, hello. What is it?"
"Leo just left the house now. What are we supposed to do? Follow him or not?" The voice demanded.
Alfred hesitated as he looked at Grey. "Follow him and share the location, I will be there soon." He hung up and looked at Grey. "Alright, I have to leave now. It's late already, we should call it a night."
"Sure but I will have some guards come over to your place. Since Giovanni knows who you really are now, we can’t risk any chances," Gregory muttered.
Grey nodded once. "Fine."
"Are you still going to work as Grey or as Hercules? I mean to Protos Pubblicita?" Aphrodite questioned.
Grey went quiet for a moment. "Let's see."
The elders walked out one after the other except Aphrodite who hesitated for some minutes. "Are you going to kill Leo too? Are you angry at me for stopping you from killing him?"
Grey went still for a moment. "I'm not angry at you and I was finding it difficult to shoot anyways. Guess why?" He looked at Aphrodite and she saw a tear escape his eyes. "He's the fucking father of my best friend!"
"What! Why would he leave the house if he's not the spy? I mean he did explain what Giovanni made him do. He promised to be his spy," Gregory explained.
Alfred hesitated. "Are you saying Leo is going to betray us again?"
Gregory nodded briefly. "I think that's what is about to happen. Leo is probably off to tell Giovanni that we know that he knows."
Alfred released an exasperated sigh. 'Then we have to stop him before Grey actually kills him this time."
