Ethan (friend inquisitively) "Who are they and what is going on?" He asked audibly without considering the fact that Sissy and her daughter might think he is talking to himself, but it was the other way round as Sissy replied thinking he was asking her.Sissy muttered, expressing her uncertainty. "I don't know either. I think you should be the one I should be asking that question."Terranova urged Ethan to act quickly, aware of the impending danger. "Ethan, you have to protect the lady and the child and get to safety as soon as possible. These individuals are after you, and I believe they have orders to eliminate you and anyone who gets in their way. No need to ask, they were from the Castle. Remember Mr. Stankovic's men?" Ethan, realizing the gravity of the situation, responded loudly, attempting to divert Sissy's attention from his inner voice. "Of course, I should be the one. Of course, I remember!" He tried his best to assure Sissy and maintain the appearance of a normal conversa

Isabell: (sighs) "And you think for a moment that I am leaving my family? I need to see my mom and this is the only chance I have got. I am not a child, Ethan! I am old enough to take care of myself." Ethan stood at the entrance to a bus that had just pulled over to pick up passengers and turned to Isabell, preventing her from entering the bus. "You think you are old enough." Ethan said."Isabell, you have to go back now before it is too late. Those beasts don't care if you are old enough to take care of yourself. " Ethan's tone was part scolding and part concern. "It is already too late, Ethan. Let me pass." She rumbled and forced her way through, he had no choice but to step aside for her. "And whether you are coming or not, I was already going to leave Greenway today." She added. "You are?" Ethan gasped frowning in confusion as he followed her into the bus immediately. "You never told me you were leaving Greenway, and I doubt you informed your dad about it. Move inside, I'm sitt

Ethan's forehead wrinkled with a mix of concern and deep contemplation as he carefully pondered on the words Peter uttered. Despite the fact that Peter was already in the process of leaving, Ethan remained absorbed in his thoughts, appearing unaware of Peter's departure. Sensing the urgency of the situation, Isabell swiftly moved forward, accelerating her pace in order to catch up with Peter without hesitation. Desperation tinted her voice as she called out, imploring him to halt and direct his attention towards them. "Hey, please, take a moment and listen. We need to understand what is happening here," she pleaded even as her restless demeanor mirrored the importance of the information she sought. "If you need to understand, then I suggest you both come with me. Try to keep up." Peter Bell said and kept walking as fast as he could they were able to tell he was trying to meet up an important schedule. Ethan and Isabell followed him without questioning even as they kept rolling their

Ethan grinned annoyed at his command in a split second and turned his face aside to summon courage within because he had a slight fever recalling what Terranova had said to him earlier regarding the face scan. "What happened? How long have I been asleep?" Isabell asked with wrinkles on her forehead, feeling worried as she examined her skin, feeling pains all over but with no visible pores to tell that what was above her did pricked her skin."Congratulations, Isabell. You are now officially qualified to settle in D.C. United, at least until your fate is decided by the factions after the must have shortlisted names for next match in the arena." Peter explained and drew near to Ethan who was now lying on the bed after Isabell had stood up from it "it is going to prickle a little bit, Ethan, you have to endure as your friend did. You look pretty much agitated." He muttered tilting his head down with eyes on Ethan, he glimmered. Isabell stood adjacent to Ethan and kept watching him with

"There you are!" The lady exclaimed as she drew closer and halted in the middle of the other four — it appears that all factions have similar uniform design, only that each uniform color differed from each other. Ethan looked so gentle when he sat on the stool and it was no surprise that he could assume different personality at the same time. He was neither introvert nor an extrovert, clearly an ambivert. "Pick up the earpiece on the table and fit it in your ears. We want every bit of our conversation with you from this point to be private." "Hello", Ethan greeted to ensure they could hear him after placing the earpiece on his left ear "So, what questions do you have for me?" Ethan asked calmly but with a clearly bold look on his face: fearless to the core. "Now that is more like it. He seems special." The lady at the middle asserted glancing at those with her. "I am special, literally. So, I was thinking the guy who just scolded my new friend, Peter, would be the first to ask ques
