Such was the sad fate of the weak. It was safe to say that the life of Alexis was hanging by a thread but she still retained one last consciousness before she passed out from the pain.
"Did... you... get... that... Coby?" Alexis gasped and was in the process of drowning in her own blood.
"Yes! We got it, Alexis! Hang in there!" Coby shouted and recalled her broken body into his base operations. When Coby saw Alexis' condition, he could not help but curse the heavens.
It was very ugly indeed.
"How long?" Coby asked the expert healer in the group.
"She would take more than a year to recuperate." The healer said promptly.
'Let me do the rest, Alexis. All you need to do now is heal.' Coby vowed and got busy with his phone.
They had been planning to gather concrete evidence against this mysterious boy named Clark Colter.
They were not fools to believe that our bored gamer was not in any way complicit to the murder to their former boss.
And so they persevered and were now granted the fruits of their labor that was in the making of several weeks at least. With this in hand, they believed that justice would be served.
At least this was what they wished to happen. Alas, the world was never that simple to begin with.
"Thank you for giving us this very important piece of evidence, Mister Zane. We shall do everything in our power to seek justice for everyone concerned."
This was the first and last time that Coby heard from the Supernatural Management Agency.
More than a year had passed since Alexis had undergone into an induced coma so that she could sleep for the most part of her treatment. Alas, all good things must end.
It was time to wake her up. And the news that awaited her was not as pleasant as she expected it would be.
"Are you gonna wake her up today, Doris?" Coby asked the healer while looking at Alexis on the table.
Alexis was naked and appeared like a human porcupine with all the needles that were pierced on her body. Doris, the healer, has an acupuncture way of healing.
Her supernatural power may be ancient or weird but the effect she had on her patients was absolutely not less in comparison to the greatest healers in the world.
Doris was certainly one of the best in this field.
"Yes, Coby. Don't worry. She should be fine." Doris said when she noticed the shadow of distress flash before the face of her friend.
"That's not what i'm worried about, Doris." Coby replied and did not add any more clarification to his words.
"I see." Doris merely nodded and began to revive Alexis from her long hibernation.
"PAK!"
"PAK!"
"PAK!" With a gentle wave of her hands, all the needles that were alighted on Alexis' body were pulled out at the same time.
Smoky dark trails that looked poisonous at first glance followed the trail of the needles but they too dissipated in just a few breaths. Leaving behind an eerie wonder in their tracks.�
"AHHHHHH!" Alexis gasped and took several deep breaths before she ever opened her eyes to the world. A few seconds passed and the confusion that clouded her face returned to clarity.
She looked around her and it did not take her long to find someone she recognized.
"What..." Alexis licked her dry lips and gulped a couple of times to exercise her throat that laid in impotent use for the better part of 1 year and some spare months.
"What's the result... Coby? Tell... me..." Alexis tried again and this time, she was successful in giving what she wanted to ask in the first place.
"You should take some time to get better, Alexis. Your muscles need..." Coby responded to gain more time but...
"BANG!" A sexy naked lady jumped from the healing table at the center and gazed at Coby with her fiery intent expression.
"Tell me." Alexis said once more and she was not the least bit ashamed of her naked form.
The people that she had killed in the name of justice had all but reached more than 200 since she was recruited in the CIA. This much vulgarity was nothing to Alexis.
"We failed, Alexis. The info we gave them and the evidence of the crime was buried to the deepest pits. It did not even get into the news. Not a fart of it surfaced to see the light."
Coby was left with no choice but to be honest. He would have expected for Alexis to rage and shout but no... the beautiful woman merely looked at him in deep thought.
"Then it is up to us to make a move. We shall let them see, Coby. We must!" Alexis whispered and quickly devised a plan in order to do just that.
She had fully anticipated that she would die in the process of accumulating concrete evidence against Clark Colter. But she was instead surprised to live throughout the ordeal.
'This kindness to your enemies will be your downfall, Clark Colter!' Alexis gritted her teeth.
"Coby, i want you to..." Thus began the halted campaign once again.

"LOOK OUT! It's a White-Eyed Jester Gorilla! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" The young men shouted in alarm while the lovely girls in the party screamed for shelter.
They were inside a dungeon and were busy leveling up until this unexpected encounter with a monster that was at least 10 times beyond their capacity to handle.
As such, they could only return to the gate points where they began their journey in this stage. And that would take them at least 30 minutes to arrive.
"Why do you need to carry around such a useless bunch, Amber? We could have leveled up much faster with a true team that would compliment our needs.
Not this kind of rubbish freeloaders." Our bored gamer muttered as he saw how five of the party members ran like babies in the field.
