Allen couldn't explain the recent happenings, it was as if he was no longer in the real world. "I think I need to get myself checked." He said as he stood up from his bed in his bedroom. "Or maybe I should take a break. I feel like I'm seeing things that are not there. Or could be because my sister is missing?!" He asked himself but shook his head at the realization, that that wasn't the cause of it. "I need to see a therapist first, these people are causing me to go crazy," Allen said and stood up, he had instructed everyone earlier to stay out of his way and not to bother him, he knew that someone was going to flout that order that was he put his phone on DND. He grabbed his phone and his keys and made his way out of his house, hoping that he wasn't going to run into Jessica. A lot of thoughts were running concurrently through his head and he had to clear them all out so he could focus solely on just finding his sister without distractions and making the perpetrators pay for eve

Allen turned into another corner and when the car followed him again, he was satisfied that the car was following him. While driving the car, he took out his phone and started sending texts out to his men, his concentration was divided, half on the road and half on his phone. "Hey what's up," Allen said into the phone as soon as the person on the end picked up the call. "I've got a few pests trailing behind me, I need you to take care of them," Allen said and ended the call, but then picked the phone up again and dialed the same number. "Just follow the tracker and trace me down here, I'm going to take another turn, I don't know where I'm going." He said. "Okay, boss." The man on the other end said and Allen dropped the call. Allen continued driving not minding if the cars were still trailing behind him. But he wondered who must have been stupid to follow him during the day and make him aware of it. He made up his mind to make his way to the therapist whether his men take care o

Allen was greeted by the angry gaze of the client whom he met in The therapist's office earlier. "It's about time!" The woman said and angrily stomped her way inside the house. Allen hadn't moved away from the door when he heard the same woman shout. "So this is what this is about, you sent me out and decided to attend to the man just because of money!" And in minutes, the woman was storming out of the office and walking past Allen who just stared at her blankly. He shook his head and continued making his way to the exit, he didn't notice that he had gotten to the reception already and it was the voice of the receptionist that brought him back to reality. "How did your session go, Mr Allen?" The receptionist asked in a voice that was loud enough for everyone around to hear her. "It went well," Allen replied, a bit embarrassed on her behalf, and walked away immediately, he didn't want to entertain any more questions from her. As soon as Allen got into his car, he began to ponder o

As soon as the man let out a scream, Allen spat out the gin onto the man's ear, causing him to fall to the ground and wriggle in immense pain. "Please, please, I'll talk...I swear I'll talk!" The second man still sitting blurted out, that he didn't want to have the same fate as his partner. "Just don't cut off my ears, I'll swear I'll talk!" The man added and now, there was fear in his eyes as he tried scooting away from Allen. "No way." Allen said, you all had your chances, it's time for me to torture you." "No, please, I beg of you, I don't want you to cut my ears off, please. I'm going to tell you everything that I know." The man said and began to visibly shiver, his eyes were darting in terror from Allen to his partner on the ground. Allen stood up and stared him hard in the face. "You had your chance, I'm not going to give you another." "Please, sir. Just another chance, I'm ready to speak." Allen looked at him again for a longer period and took a sip from the gin as

Allen quickly dodged the bullet, thanks to Ultimate who had easily pointed out where he would shoot from. "Try again in hell," Allen said and a gun was shot at Moses on his hand, making his gun drop. Everyone averted their gazes to the door and saw two familiar men standing there, Sylvester Williams and David, the last two users. "One thing I hate the most is to be fooled and you all fooled me," Williams said and stepped forward. "All these years, I believed my death would bring calmness to the world. I thought I was doing it for the good and safety of this world. I even went as far as hunting down the other users just to satisfy you. I should have known better."Lake and Mike tried to attack but they got shot instantly by Mary and Josh who both walked in together. "I hope I am not too late?" Mary asked and crocked her gun. "You- you should be dead," Lake said, groaning in pain. "Unfortunately, I am not. I am your nemesis and that's why I survived," Mary answered and pointed her

The hall became silent as they all had their eyes on him. Suddenly, one of them stood up and smirked. "Allen Scott, we have been expecting you. You came right to us," he said. Allen crocked his gun and pointed it at him. "Yes. And I am here to end this nonsense. Enough with all his. You all have hunted our lives for years but today, all this is going to end."The man clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Do you think all these would be the end?""I don't think. I know. Besides, no one is going to save any of you. The agents are gone."The man averted his gaze to Moses and shook his head. "You finally got them. I am sure you told them about you being the good guy and we being the bad guy."Allen drew his brows and looked at Moses who had no expression on his face. He immediately knew what Mary said was true. They were to be trusted and for that, he wasn't surprised. "Mr Scott, do you believe everything this man told you?" Allen looked at Moses again and smirked. "Why shouldn't I

Mary noticed the man secretly smiling at someone behind her and when she turned, she saw it was George. Her heart skipped a bit. He was smoking back at them but in a way that said 'good job,' she swallowed hard and looked at the men as her instinct immediately pointed at George as a member of the group that attacked them. She quickly shook her head and tried to brush off her thought. "No, George wouldn't do this. He is part of this team and has been a loyal member," she concluded inwardly and glanced at him one more time. This time, she noticed he was staring back at her with a frown plastered on his face. He stared for a while before he let out a small smile.She gulped nervously and looked away. "This can't be. George can't be part of them," she said and stood up, bringing everyone's attention to her. "What is wrong?" Allen asked, staring at her with concern. She looked at George again who had his brows creased. She couldn't take away the thought that he could be one of them an

"Tomorrow?" Josh asked with his eyes stretched wide. He walked forward and went on, "What do you mean tomorrow? We aren't prepared to face this people. We would need more time.""Mr Gregory," Moses called, taking Josh by surprise because he never expected him to know his name. Moses went on, "It was a quick date fixed and I have no power to stop it. The project society are been too anxious and that would be our greatest weapon against them.""Greatest weapon? In what way would we win this fight when I don't even have a clue of what you are talking about?""They are moving quick. Tomorrow is the day for the project," Lake answered."How is that possible? We haven't been caught by them," Josh asked, stepping forward."They have you all where they want you. They will come over to take you tonight."Allen drew his brows in confusion. "What do you mean? How do they have us right where they want?""Do you think the society are dumb? They know where you all are. They have been monitoring you

Steph abruptly stood up, shocked to see her standing there. She swallowed hard and asked nervously, "how long have you been there?""For a while," she answered and walked in completely. "There is someone who wants to meet you," she said and quickly walked out of the room. Steph sighed deeply and faced Allen who stood quietly, staring at the closed door. "She heard us. I feel so bad," she muttered."Let me go and meet this guests of mine," he answered dryly and walked out of the room. "This guy is messed up," she muttered and went after him. They got to the living room and Allen drew his brows, seeing the strange faces in the living room. As he drew closer, they all stood up. "Hello, Mr Scott," they greeted in unison.He got closer and stood before them. "Hello to you too. How may I help you?" He asked. "I am Moses Banks, this man beside me," he pointed at the man by his right side. "Is Lake Hall. And the second here is Dennis. We are all aware of your position as the subject been

"Brother I-" Steph barged into the room and her words hung in her throat when she saw Allen and Mary jerked up. Just when their lips met, they got distracted. Steph who had noticed what they were doing, looked down embarrassed. "I am sorry for barging in this way," she apologized. Allen's eyes stretched wide, realizing what he had done with Mary. He looked at her and noticed she looked embarrassed and was trying not to look at anyone. He cursed inwardly and rubbed the back of his neck "What happened to me? What was I about to do?" He asked, mad at himself. "I can come back later. It's not important," Steph said and made to leave but Mary stopped her. "You don't have to go anywhere, Steph. I am about to leave," she said and hurried out in embarrassment. Immediately she did, Steph's lips curled up into a smile as she faced her brother. "Big bro, what is going on?" She asked cheekily. Allen rubbed his neck and sat on his bed. He was still trying to figure out what had happened to

All of them stared at him, surprised to see a different person. Allen let out a deep breath and stood up. "I have gone through the first step of my plan and that is going to Josh's company. I've been able to convince someone important to join me."Josh drew his brows, wondering who he was referring to as the important person. "Who is that?""I will let you know when the time comes," he answered. "So what is your next plan?" Steph asked, worried about her brother and at the same time, glad he wasn't having so much anger that she thought would ruin him. "I will be visiting the safe very soon. I think my money is long over due there," he answered. "Are you crazy!" Steph and Maryjane chorused at the same time, with their eyes popped open. "Why would you plan to do that when you know the situation surrounding you?" Dr Thompson asked. "I won't be able to do this on my own. I will need all your help but you don't have to worry, no one would be in danger because this. I have a plan and

Allen looked intently but found nothing. He drew his brows and looked at the old man. "What do you want me to see there? There is nothing except water," he answered. "Look carefully."Allen strained his eyes, trying to see what he was talking about but there was nothing. Was the old man imagining something there? It could be possible because his sight most have gone bad, he thought."There is nothing there," He answered, confident about it.The old man clicked his tongue and gave him a light got on his shoulder. "That is what you think. It is because you allow your eyes are what you want it to see. Look deeper and you will find what I am showing you."Allen looked closely and it took a while before he saw something floating on the water. "What is that?" He asked. "That is something I put on the water. Don't worry, I will get it out," he answered and laughed. Allen wondered why he didn't notice t at first. The old man laughed to his heart content and faced him again. "You see, not

Allen drove down the road, heading for his villa. His first mission for the day was accomplished and that was getting Mr Benson to his side. Getting the others would be easy. He suddenly took a different turn, heading for the beach instead. "Why are you going to the beach?" Ultimate asked. "I need a time to myself. I have a lot going on and all I can think of right now is bringing the project Erubus society down. My anger is really overwhelming me and now, I am really worried," he answered and let out a deep breath. "Every one keeps telling me to calm down and not make wrong decisions because of my emotions. I think they are right. I need to calm down so I can handle this mission as calmly as I can.""That's a great step, Allen. Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure, hostility towards someone, usually with an urge to harm. It's good you decide to calm yourself down."Allen laughed at how ultimate read out the meaning of anger to him. He focused his attention on the road until he
