Author’s Note
Sorry for the long delay between updates, everyone. That’s why I decided to do a mass release today to make up for the days I missed. I really hope you enjoyed the chapters and that Drax’s mission has been as interesting for you as it has been for me to write.Now I want to hear from you guys.What are your theories about the Red-Ledger? What do you think is really going on behind the scenes in Null City?And what about Charlotte? What do you think Drax is going to discover when he finally finds her?More importantly… do you think Drax and Desmond are actually going to get along? Could these two completely different characters somehow become a team?Do you think Desmond is going to play a major role in Drax’s mission, or is he simply a temporary companion who will eventually go his own way?I want to hear all your thoughts, predictions, crazy theories, and even your bad theories. You might be completely wrong… or you might have already figured out something Drax hasn’t.Drop your thou
Drax’s Redemption
Drax’s eyes narrowed. “How did you…” He stopped himself, then turned fully toward the boy. “How do you know about that?”Desmond wiped the remaining tears from his cheeks. “I heard you.”Drax stared at him. “When?”“Inside the restaurant.”Drax’s expression changed immediately. Desmond pointed toward the direction they had come from. “When you were fighting those men, you asked them if they were Red-Ledger. I heard you asking them.”Drax’s eyes narrowed further. “You were listening?”“I wasn’t trying to,” Desmond quickly replied. “I just heard it. But I can help you get to them.Drax studied the boy carefully. For the first time since Desmond had appeared, Drax wasn’t looking at him as simply a frightened child. He was assessing him, carefully weighing every word the boy had spoken.The Red-Ledger was the one thing Drax had been trying to find since entering Null City. The Special Force had practically thrown him into the city with a name and a deadline and expected him to somehow unc
Drax’s Redemption 16
“I’m sorry.”The words came from behind Drax just as he was about to disappear into the darkness.He stopped.For a moment, he didn’t turn around. He simply stood there with his back toward Desmond, his hands hanging loosely at his sides and his small bag resting against his hip. The anger that had driven him away was still there, but it had already begun to fade. Drax wasn’t a man who enjoyed holding grudges against children, and despite everything he had said, he knew the boy wasn’t really trying to hurt him. Desmond was scared. He was desperate. His mother was in danger, and Drax had become the first person in years who had actually stood between his family and the people terrorizing them.“I said that out of anger,” Desmond continued, his voice trembling. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have blamed you. I appreciate you for helping us.”Drax slowly closed his eyes.He heard the boy sniffle behind him, followed by a shaky breath.“But you can’t leave right now.”Drax’s fingers curled sligh
Drax’s Redemption 16
Desmond stared at him helplessly, his small chest rising and falling rapidly as he struggled to find the right words. Then, as though something inside the boy finally broke, he slowly lowered himself onto his knees in the middle of the road. Drax’s eyebrows immediately pulled together when he saw him.“Hey.”Desmond ignored him.“Please.”His voice was barely more than a whisper, so faint that it almost disappeared beneath the distant sounds of Null City. Drax looked down at him, his expression hardening slightly as the boy lifted his tear-filled eyes toward him.“My mother is going to die.”The desperation in those words was different from before. It wasn’t simply fear anymore. It was the helplessness of a child who had reached the end of every option he knew and had finally realized that he had nowhere else to turn. Desmond’s lips trembled as he clasped his hands together, desperately trying to hold himself together.“I need you,” Desmond said, tears finally spilling from his eyes.
Drax’s Redemption 14
“What?” Drax asked, staring at the boy.Desmond struggled to catch his breath, his chest rising and falling rapidly from the long ride. Sweat ran down the side of his face, and his hands were still trembling from the panic that had driven him to chase Drax through the streets. He nodded repeatedly, trying to force the words out between breaths. “They came back,” he finally said. “Just like my mother said they would. After what you did to their men, they returned with more people.”Drax’s expression immediately became annoyed. He pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes for a moment, as if trying to suppress a headache that had suddenly appeared. Of course they had come back. He should have expected it. The woman had warned him before he left the restaurant, but at the time, Drax hadn’t cared. He had assumed that if the Rustliners wanted another fight, they could find him and get another beating. What he hadn’t considered was that they would return to the restaurant and take
Drax’s Redemption 13
He stopped briefly at an intersection and looked down one street, then the other. Nothing stood out, so he picked a direction at random.“This way.”He walked for several more minutes before suddenly stopping. “Wait.”He looked around, his brows furrowing as he studied the unfamiliar-looking buildings around him. “This looks familiar.”He turned around and stared at the road behind him.“Was I here already?”Drax frowned. He had absolutely no sense of direction.He continued walking anyway.The further he walked, the quieter the streets became. The evening darkness gradually swallowed the city, and the few lamps scattered along the roads flickered weakly. Some buildings were nothing more than rusted structures held together by desperation, while others had their windows boarded shut. Somewhere nearby, music played loudly from a bar, followed by shouting and the crash of something breaking.Drax glanced toward the noise. “Not my problem.”He continued walking.The mission clock was sti
