Andrew placed a hand on his chin, “You can't lose it, Adrian. Damn, when’s this shit gonna finish?’ “Andrew, I feel weak.” Adrian said, feeling energy being drained and squeezed out of him while strange liquid oozed out from his head.“You know what? You're gonna have to hold your scream in, keep your consciousness because I will make the gash longer.”“What?” Adrian's head went fuzzy. He was going to feel that crazy pain in that same throbbing side of his head. “Just do it… but be careful I don't lose it, while you're still on it.” He said, and Andrew picked up his scalpel. Adrian watched it as it came closer, unable to take his eyes off. Finally, as it came so close, he shut his eyes tight, and felt the cool metal on a throbbing part of his head before it sunk in.“Andrew.” Adrian gritted out, not being able to scream as he send. The slice was sharp, painful, and he got scared that Andrew would cut a vein, and would end his life right there on the spot.He gripped his chains, pull

“Andrew?” Adrian called his name again, looking really perplexed.“Bingo!” Andrew voiced out, and smiled.Adrian’s concentration on Andrew shifted to the change that had occurred in his body, which was the fact that he couldn’t feel the pain which was intense, before. Not that the pain had gone numb; this particular one had disappeared completely.He had to touch his forehead as he could see that Andrew was staring at his forehead, with a smile, and to his surprise, it was as smooth the other parts of his face.“Oh, my goodness! Can you explain how on earth, this happened?” Adrian exclaimed, in shock.“It’s the system.” Andrew responded, with a smile as he came closer.“The system? How? I don’t seem to understand.”“The system had connected to the tissues, and every thing that makes up the skin and tissues around that place, to heal up quickly.” Andrew explained.“Did you know about this before?”“Uhm… Not really. But while I was making my research, I found out, and then discovered tha

The cops showed them the warrant to search the company, and the manager couldn’t do anything. Even when he wanted to excuse himself, Adrian ensured that the cops didn’t allow him to.He knew that there was a possibility that he might want to inform Steve Wilson, just so he would find a way to counter the situation. Adrian came prepared, so, there was nothing anyone could do, at this point.“Put a call through the secretary to bring out the general record of this company” Adrian ordered him, and the manager did that, reluctantly.Adrian was on his neck, staring at every process, and every thing he did, so he wouldn’t be able to do anything else.Adrian looked around the company, staring at how everyone seemed anxious, or curious about all that was going on. They had walked out all customers in the nicest way possible, so, none was angry, but understood that there was a situation going on.In a short while, the secretary brought the general record of the company, and Adrian stood while

Sophie fell to the ground, feeling really weak. The anxiousness which filled her heart up, made her seem weaker, and like she was going to die, anytime soon.“Help.” She managed to utter, but it was in a low tone, and even if an ant was passing by, it wouldn’t hear her.Her eyes had cleared a little, and she could see her phone a distance away; which wasn’t too far from her hand, but at that moment, not even her hand could move.It was like she was using all her strength which was divided to help every part of her body to function; to breathe.Tears streamed down her face as she had no idea of the things which were to happen to her next. She remembered that Lucas had told her to be extra careful and at alert. What she should have done was to have been extra alert before she walked right into the alley.The man would have certainly been trailing her the moment she got down from the cab, but now, there was nothing she could do. The deed had been done, and the only person that came to he

They all had no choice than to accept the news, as long as she was okay at that moment. Adrian also felt that he had to be quick with things, so that Sophie wouldn't have to go through such excruciating moment.“Thank you so much.” Adrian appreciated the toxicologist.“My pleasure.” He responded.Adrian had to escort the toxicologist and Andrew out, as time was far spent already, and they really tried by coming to their aid, by this time.“Alright, goodnight. And thanks so much again.” “You're welcome, Adrian. Just ensure she's fine.” Andrew spoke as he got into the car, and Adrian nodded in response.After he had watched their car, zoom into thin air, he went back inside, and up to the room where Sophie was.Sophie seemed to be sleeping soundly, which meant that she wasn't really feeling pain and all.It made Adrian feel less burdened and relieved that she was better, now.“I really do hope she doesn't have to go through that excruciating moment.” Lucas uttered as he stared at Soph
