“Hey!” The boy with one arm before but now with two arms pointed to her. “I don't suppose I know you.” He said. Helen inhaled while she smiled sweetly at him. It wasn't his fault. A lot of people did not know who she was in this place. And while she was here, with the resources that they had at their disposal, she was always sure to keep this in mind. It was why she never got angry over things like this. Even though when she found out about them, she was promised to be in a place where everyone would know who she was. They lied. And fortunately for them, she was not that eager to let out her frustration on everybody else. “Yes, you don't know me. But you on the other hand,” She smiled even wider while gesturing to him. ‘Everybody knows you. You are the bi that nearly destroyed the facility where you were.w That takes a lot of balls. Oooooh!” She exhaled sharply now. “Are you some sort of secret project that the Bureau has been doing?” She asked him. “Oh, no, Hellen, stop that.'

It was just business for him. He never took it personal. So even when they called him all sort of unpleasant things, Professor Bumju simply went by what he had to do.They cannot stop the truth from showing up. This was his mantra, within his heart. It helped him up whenever he did hit rock bottom, emotionally.. After all, in the end, he was only human. And having to be stigmatized as an omen of bad news did rub him off in some ways.Though what could be care? As far as he did his work well. As far as the ones who had Systems were wary of him, then he was fine. It was a form of power that capitalized on the fear of his presence. Something that he was sure if he had a system, he would never ha eyasted it. He heaved as he stomached the saucy tongue of Leslie. He’d just gone out from the audience of the man in charge of the Research Facility belonging to the Bureau, some where in Africa. It was not one that he would term as ideal based on how Monsieur Dayo kept in persisting on being a

Favor held the door, waiting for him to get inside. As he took his time, Lekan used his right hand to smack her head, playfully.She grimaced at him, baring out her teeth but that was all she did. Until he was inside already.It was one thing to go out with her, it was another thing to smack her head. Especially, in a place as public as this. She seethed over it, thinking within her heart about what she was going to do to him. At least, about what he just did to her.Though, she knew she could not be so drastic about it. After all, for someone who she just met in some hours back, he was pretty much handling her bills in this place. The money they used to get to the hospital, which she handled initially, Lekan took over the repayment once they got the card. His card. Now, he had paid for the Uber travel. And already, she knew that this bill of the rsturant would be on him. She smiled at this. He was some brother she never had. Or Perhaps, she watched his back with careful eyes, the

“Huh?” Favor gasped as her eyes widened to the new reality around her. Lekan was startled as well. He squeezed his face as he took a cursory look about. He was back in the house that belonged to Dr May. It wa startling to say the least. The only person that had this type of power was Astella. At least, to his best of knowledge. BATHUMP!His heart doubled in its heat.Was Astella around?“Ha!” He gasped out again, looking about.He turned a quick one around just now, hoping against hope that he could find her. Just something around here that said that Astella was around.That she was alive.Something that told him that she survived.“B-but I don’t understand.” He stammered. “I saw her limbs get chopped off. How is it that she is able to still…l“Lekan?” Favor called to him how.Likewise, she had a face that told of how much she was worried . Her eyebrows were lifted up but squeezed just at the point between her two eyes. Something was not right.No matter how she looked at it. It was

“W-what?” Lekan exhaled deeply, shutting his eyes at the sight of the Mr Awopegba.How was this man always popping up at places where he least expected him? Granted that he had no means to contact him, so he should be happy that he was always popping up.Usually with something useful to him. Something which would either be useful to him now or be of great importance to him of later times.However, that did not explain how he was always knowing the time to show up. The exact time, actually. He frowned when he realized that he had no idea when the lawyer popped up in front of him.It was one thing to think of the timeliness of the Lawyer; it was another thing to think about how very frustrated he had been. What if this was someone who had bad intentions towards him? The moment when the person notices he was completely off guard would have been the moment he would have struck. He heaved, again. Thankfully, the lawyer did not fit that category. At least not yet.“Hm!” he grunted at t
