Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Sebastian Brenand shook his head.
Then, Xyla Quest turned to look at Henry Armstrong. Henry shook his head as well. He drew a tiny kumquat from the plate of
fruits beside him, peeled off the skin and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Stop questioning it. You know that everything turns out well and that’s all that matters... Things are handled perfectly by Brother
Stan, there isn’t a single flaw.” He reassured Xyla while chewing the kumquat in his mouth.
“Moreover, you don’t have to worry if the Thomson family starts pursuing the matter further and leaving you in danger, things like
that. Stan has arranged it all and everything will come to an end here.” He added.
“From what you’re saying, I think you do know more about the negotiation?” Henry’s words piqued Xyla’s curiosity.
Henry shrugged and leaned against the chair lazily. He spat the kumquat seeds onto his palm and threw them into the trash can.
“I really wasn’t there. I just heard it from Brother Stan. As for the details, I’m afraid that we can’t tell you because they involve
some secrets.”
Xyla did not ask further questions the moment she heard that.
Since the whole story was deliberately ambiguous, they must be hiding something from her, something that she should not know,
she thought.
For instance, they were in the gang. They had been in the gang for a long time, and since they were able to stay in the gang and
mix well with the other members, they must have some connections with the higher-ups. She reckoned that the higher-ups must
be able to subdue the Thomson family. This was the reason behind Stanley’s secure arrangements and this was also why Henry
was so sure that everything would end here, and the Thomsons would never look into anything else.
Perhaps it all involved some secrets of their gang. Therefore, she decided to stop asking.
“Beautiful Xyla, what are you thinking about?” Sebastian was full of concern.
“Nothing...” Xyla smiled.
Suddenly, a man in black entered the ward with a phone charger. He gave Sebastian and Henry a polite nod and scurried off to
Xyla. He handed her the charger with both hands. “Miss Quest, this is what you asked for.”
“Thanks.” Xyla responded.

“Alright, I need to go somewhere right now. Sebastian, stay here with Xyla.” Henry got up and gave Sebastian a pat on his
shoulder.
“What? Are you going to humiliate yourself again?” Sebastian questioned.
“What are you babbling about? I’m looking for joy, for happiness okay.”
“Being ignored makes you happy, eh? You’re such a weirdo.” Sebastian rolled his eyes.
Henry rolled his eyes at him too. He looked at Xyla in a serious manner and informed her, “I’m leaving for a while. I’ll be back
soon.”
Henry strode out of the ward without waiting for Xyla to speak.
“Where’s he going?” Xyla was a little curious.
“Don’t mind about him. He’s just out of his mind. Well some people... They’re thrill-seekers you know. They’re bored of peaceful
life.” Sebastian continued, “Beauty Xyla, do you want some oranges?”
Xyla shook her head.
After Henry left both of them, he headed to Georgie Clementine’s ward confidently and knocked straight on the door. Georgie
was sitting on the bed and she was busy playing Heroes Assemble on her laptop.
She was completing her daily tasks. She heard the knock on the door. “Come in,” she responded while doing her tasks seriously.
