Chapter 102 Bad turn?!
"Okay, I get that the weapons are a thing to be concerned about. They quite honestly have the upper hand there but I don't know if we are all trying to ignore the fact that other than weapons, they have actual men, that gives them an upper hand against us!!" Mendy brought it to the gangs attention.
This was quite spot on. As the outcast gang now only consisted of six members with Kane out in the hospital, that left them with only five members. And from the information gathered, it was for certain that the Gecko brotherhood indeed were an old gang that just hadn't become one of the big names in the city yet.
Notwithstanding, while they may not have that much reputation about them, they had the numbers to back them up. This was a big turnaround and a huge factor that the gang had to consider if they intended to fight back. In all, there wasn't really a way that it could be explained that they had an advantage. Matter of fact, in their hearts, they knew all the advantage lied with the Gecko brotherhood.
"Well, numbers don't really mean much to us. They may have their numbers but there's one thing we have that they don't have," Jessica said with a wicked smile growing across her lips. Kan was especially surprised to see this as he thought she lacked the capacity to pull off a smile but apparently he was wrong and perhaps quick to judge.
"Clear me on where we have the advantage please, I'd love to know," Mendy dared, as to him, Jessica was being delusional to even think they had an upper hand. As far as he was concerned, taking actions required a certain level of win probability in his favour. He worked with numbers and not faith in some belief and quite honestly, at the moment, he didn't believe the numbers nor even faith were nice to them.
"You forget all the four men even their leader all had one thing in common?! Come on, I thought you were supposed to be the smart one here!!" Jessica slapped her own forehead, a sign of disappointment perhaps. Mendy immediately raised an eyebrow in utter incredulity.
"Really? Like I said, I have considered all factors. I know where you are headed to. You think because they are all humans which means no powers, then that means we automatically have the advantage?!!" Mendy asked dashing the concrete stance Jessica had in the first instance.
"Well, that's not exactly how it works. Now here's something I think even Kan might support. He may not have his entire memory intact but I'm pretty sure he remembers how much of a threat those men gave him for one reason, they weren't normal humans, correct, Kan?!!" Mendy argued his claims.
"Not normal?" Jessica asked, feeling like Kane was beginning to make up things that didn't seem to be reasonable. In their world, there was nothing that was strange about humans. As a matter of fact, if asked, humans were the most basic species, simply simple to put. So she found his claims to be quite preposterous!
"Yeah," Kan entered the conversation, answering Jessica's question. Eyebrows were raised towards him and even the twins who didn't seem to have commented much, were shocked to see him confirm what Mendy had said. They didn't know too much but were smart enough to understand basic things like this.
"Well, I actually omitted something guys. I thought it didn't really matter since I wasn't sure of what happened yet and Kane didn't divulge anything along that line to me. But before I proceed, Mendy," Ellie turned to Mendy before asking..."What made you sat they weren't normal?" She asked.
"I did a lot of investigation and ran a lot of test on them. We all know Kane, he is the only human that has ever convinced me that you don't need magic or as the humans would call it, super powers to be a problem. However, it didn't make sense to me that someone like him who on occasions would put up a good fight against an omega class werewolf struggled with four humans. So I did some digging and that was when I discovered something," Mendy said, his voice reducing at this point as he was about to spill something that would shock them all.
"They were on drugs," Mendy finally spilled.
"I knew it. Because it didn't make sense even with those weapons for four humans to go against Kane when they know Kan who's an Elf was with him. They had to have been extremely knocked off their senses!!" Jessica replied, completely excited to have found her line of thought all along was being proven.
"Oh Jess, allow me finish. They weren't on THAT kind of drugs. Well, not entirely. I mean the drug I'm talking about did have those properties to make them fearless and all that. But what the drug I'm talking about really does is quite scary. It makes them stronger, faster and even as durable as Ellie might be!!" Mendy revealed.
"What? That doesn't make any sense. There's no drug that ca make a human as strong as us or even as tough as Ellie!!" Sully, the boy twin jumped in to argue.
"Okay, relax. Well you remember what happened yesterday when a rat ran out of my room at the base and you along with your sister tried to kill it?" Mendy started with a smile.
"Yeah, we almost had it until you came outside when Sully was about to destroy it and injected it with something which made it ...explode all over us!!" Susie said, recounting the experience.
"Well, if you noticed, that rat moved faster than normal rats and how many times did you two smack it with the couch?...." Mendy waited for an answer as he saw the twins contemplating.
"Exactly. So I managed to detect the anomaly in their blood stream and isolated a small amount of it which I tested on the rat. It killed most of the rats except one of them. Well, that one did die but you get the story," Mendy said.
"So let's get this straight. They have weapons we haven't heard of and now you are saying they are on some drug that makes them more powerful?!" Jessica asked, shaking her head in despair.
"Things are starting not to look up, aren't they?" Mendy answered.
