Chapter 52 Unknown Caller

A visit to the system got my eyes widening and reminded my brain that there was more than just suggestion spray and sleeping drop in there. Low-grade healing potion, mid-grade healing potion, Stamina boosting potion, rejuvenation potion. The additional items in the shop, had my lips curving in a smile but then the prices, flattened the line. [low-grade healing potion: Used to heal light injuries like bruises and cuts. Price: 5000PSDp] The mid-grade cost 13000PSDP and then the stamina boost was a whopping 20000PSPD. The prices were so high that I had to question the system if we were experiencing inflation. [The prices of goods in the shop are subject to price fluctuations, you were already warned about this host] "Is it price inflation or are you just hungry for my recent windfall of PSDP" Of course, the system went silent when I said this and I could only purchase for myself a bottle of low-grade healing potion. The potion worked like magic, instantly healing the injuries on my body and encouraged by this, I also purchased a rejuvenation potion, relief washing over me as the fatigue in all parts of my body was eliminated, my youthful exuberance back to its peak. I spent the rest of the evening at home, preparing myself a delicious meal of spiced chicken and rice. At 7 pm I was behind my desk, watching Fearless and enjoying as Jackie kicked ass when my phone rang. "Hmm, Unknown caller" I muttered as I picked up the call. "Hello" "Hello, is this Marcus Lawson," a weak female voice asked. "Yeah, and who am I speaking with" There was silence over the call for a while and then an answer. "I'm the woman you met at McDonald's on Thursday evening" "I met with a lot of women at Mcdonald's on Thursday, you'll need to specify," I said, hoping it wasn't who I knew it was damn going to be. I could hear the tight grinding of teeth over the phone and then as if in surrender an answer I had not expected came. "Ninja momma" "Wow, you must really be desperate to describe yourself like that," I said with a chuckle. "I need your help" "... Ever heard of 911 woman" The disinterest in my voice already told of my thoughts on interacting with her but she still persisted. "Please it's an emergency my kids were taken from me" These words had me pause in thought and the troublesome woman on the other side sensing she had gotten to my heart struck while the iron was hot. "The police can't help, it's a delicate matter and you're the only one I can turn to, If you don't help, the two of them will die. 24837 Los Romana, Yolandris hospital" "Hey, hey" I exclaimed but it did nothing to stop the woman from ending the call after giving me her address and as a bitter feeling settled in me, I was quick to blame the root cause of this mess. "System what is going on now, start talking, is this some kind of mission from you." I expected silence but the system decided to prove me wrong. [No, this is no mission, whatever you choose to do is up to you.] "You sure" I asked with squinted eyes [Yes] "Good" Taking solace in the system's words I went back to watching my movie with a grin on my face as Jackie delivered a roundhouse kick and then 20 minutes later I was in my BMW driving on the road of Los Angeles by 7:33 and cursing ninja momma and the system. "You know you might as well just give me a mission to help the woman. At least let this whole shit be beneficial to me." I was a pervert, not a heartless bastard. It was already bad enough that she had said her kids were kidnapped, she just had to go on and say their lives were on the line. I didn't know what the problem was or how I could help, but what I knew was that the life of the innocent little girl I had seen that night was possibly in my hands. Being put in such a position, my emotions being used to control me had me annoyed and irritated but with deep breaths, I calmed down and drew a plan. "I'll go meet her, see what is wrong and then call the police." A bit more than half an hour later I arrived at my destination, playing over the room number I had been directed to in my head as I entered the hospital. I navigated my way to the designated room, taking note that it was in the critical area and then entered. "Well, that's not good' I muttered looking at the once troublesome woman who had been turned into a sort of mummy, several machines, tubes and needles attached to her. "I just drove for about 30 minutes, no way she called me while being in this state. Also, how did she get my number." Other than me, there was no one else in the room and when I moved over to her, I frowned as I saw that she had her face twisted in anguish, her mouth letting out croaked sounds. I knew she was in a readily bad shape and needed to be sleeping but Poke! Poke! S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hey, I'm here, what do you need me for" I asked as I gently tapped my finger on her cheek, hoping for a reaction. It was ninja momma alright, and seeing the state she was in and remembering her words, I was really worried that if I did nothing the life of two little kids could be snuffed out. "Mark! Mark! Anna!" I wanted ninja momma to wake up but my actions instead seemed to have worsened her nightmare as she began crying out the name of her what should be her children. "Ahh dammit woman, with you in this state, what am I supposed to do." I had just let out a groan when the door to the room was opened and a chubby nurse with a great rack focused her eyes on me. "What are you doing in here" She softly asked. Quickly I raised up my hands in innocence. "Nothing, I heard someone screaming in here and came to check, can you come look at her she seems to be in pain" Though the woman's eyes twinkled as she stared at me, she hesitated in believing my words, hastily she moved to the other side of the bed, and just as she bent over ninja momma to inspect her, I pulled her out a spray. [You have exhausted your second free use of suggestion spray] "With how charming I look, you will completely believe my words and appreciate how caring I am for coming to check on the patient, will tell me how she got into this situation." "System activate daddy's apple"
