Mary walked out of the water and wrapped a towel around her chest, while her gaze was fixed income Allen who was still shocked. "What? Haven't you seen a woman in her undies before?"'But not you!' he wanted to say but the words hung in his throat. Seeing her come out of the water, made his heart skip a beat and he found himself admiring her. He swallowed hard and looked away, embarrassed that she had caught him staring for long. "The others would be out soon. Let's talk and go back," he said, averting the topic. "It's the middle of the night. No one would come out not especially to this pool," she answered and sat down on the second beach chair. "Trust me, they are all tired."She rested back and let out a deep breath. "I thought I wouldn't be able to see the stars again. I lost hope in surviving."He looked at her, taken aback by what she said. Maryjane was a strong-willed and determined lady who would be ready to face death just to survive. Hearing her say she lost hope came a

Everyone stared at Allen with their jaws dropped. What he said seemed crazy to them. Allen on the other hand expected their reactions. He let out a deep breath and stood up. "We have no time. I need to go all out and face this project Erubus.""Are you crazy!" Josh asked with his eyes stretched wide. "You only faced a few and I am sure they were inexperienced people and you almost died. What made you think you can go all out on the people involved in the project? What happened to our plan of ruining them financially and business-wise?" Dr Thompson asked, with unbelieve lacing his voice. Allen let out a deep breath and put his hands in his pocket. "I don't mean attacking them head-on- I will die before I will be able to handle them," he answered and they all relaxed their shoulders, relieved he wasn't planning to do something stupid. He continued, "I am talking about taking down their business chains and cutting all connections they have with their sponsors. I want to ruin them in

Allen and Josh glanced at each other, both having questions running through their minds. The others in the room had no idea about the news the woman brought, but they knew it would be connected to the project. Everything they did and worked on, was connected to the Project. "Please excuse us for a while," Allen said, and they all got the message. They quickly left the living room, leaving behind Josh and the attorney.Immediately they left, Allen faced her and asked. "What is it you have to tell us?""It's about the board members. Somehow, they found out about my boss transferring his shares to you and they are not pleased. They are raging chaos at the company," she answered. A deep frown registered over Allen's face as her information sank deep into him. "What do you mean? How did the board members find out about this?" He asked, with disbelief lacing his voice. He had told Josh and Maryam how discreet it should be. It was Attorney Maryam's idea. How did someone find out about it

Josh led the attorney to his room and when they got there, he quickly locked the door and faced her. "Have you done what I asked you to?" He asked and she shook her head. "Not yet. It's hard to get it done in a short time with all these going on," she answered and crossed her arms beneath her bosom. "What's your plan, sir? Aren't you going back home?""I can't. The project Erubus are after me now," he answered and she drew her brows in shock."Why would they be after you? You said they were after Mr Scott alone.""I am a subject, so they will come for me again. The first kidnap wasn't to use me as bait but to capture me and take me in for the project," he answered and frowned deeply. "Last night, I overheard Allen and Mary's discussion."He remembered going downstairs to get water but noticed the outside lights turned on. In curiosity, he went closer and saw Allen and Mary both talking seriously. He remembered when Allen woke up and they had gone in to meet him. He noticed they wer

With every minute that passed, Allen's heart raced in fright of getting caught. If the enemy receives their data, not only would they find out where they are, but they will be able to hack into all the systems and know what they are up to. It was too late to stop Ultimate from trying to hack into their system. It was loading and had gotten to fifty percent. 'This has to work if not, we are screwed,' he thought and fisted his hand.It continued loading, going so slow that made Allen frustrated. According to what Ultimate said, if he tries to stop it or distract it, the connection would be disrupted. He had no choice but to wait patiently, even though it was killing him. The percentage kept moving up and when it got to eight-nine percent, Allen's heart jumped to his throat and he held his breath. He was tensed and scared of the outcome that would befall them if they discovered they were hacking into their system. It loaded until it got to a hundred percent and showed success. "Done,

Maryjane walked in with an expressionless face and Allen could tell what was going on in her mind. "What second enemy are you talking about?" She asked again, with her gaze focused on his sunglasses. "I overheard you talking to yourself so tell me about this."He let out a deep breath and leaned back against his seat. "I can't hide this anymore. We indeed have a second enemy and they are a group."She arched her brows as what he said immediately sank in. "Who are they?""I don't know. All I found out was that they were the ones who set the bombs to kill us at the meeting hall. I think Project Erubus took Josh away before they came in for their mission. They intend to kill unlike the project Erubus society," he explained to her and she drew her brows, wondering who they were."This is crazy. If the new group wants us dead, then that means they are also trying to stop Project Erebus. They thought it would be better to kill the subjects instead," she said, understanding what the new gro

There was silence. No one said a word. She stood up and walked to the door. There was no one outside but glasses shattered on the floor. She drew her brows and squatted to examine it. "Where did this come from?" She wondered. Allen, seeing she was concentrating on something, went to meet her in curiosity. He noticed the glasses on the floor and sighed. "The decor finally fell. I should have removed it when I had the chance," he said, gaining her attention. "What do you mean?""It was from a decor beside my door. I noticed how unstable it has been but I ignored it," he answered flatly and went back in. "Just let it be and let's talk about this matter properly."Maryjane looked at the mess closely and drew her brows together. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" She asked and stood up. "I need to clean this up first. You too have to control your anger before we talk more about this."He growled and faced her. "Why do I need to control my anger?""Because you will make irrationa

A day ago…"Sir, calm down. You can't leave now!" The nurses panicked as they tried to calm the patient down, but he wasn't ready to listen. He had to leave and that was important. He has to explain to his bosses what happened. He was given just one job and he failed woefully at it. He wondered what they would do to him because he knew they would punish him. Running away wasn't an option as they would find him. "Get away from me, you people. This is important to me," he said, gritting his teeth. "It's my body and I can manage it. I decide when I want to get discharged.""But sir, you will open up your wounds again and that wouldn't be pleasant. You might die," the head nurse said, getting pissed off. He was an old man which would only make matters worse for him, but he was stubborn. "I want to leave and you all aren't stopping me!" He sneered. "Mr. Greg, this is the hospital so I ask that you behave yourself. We are trying to treat you. You are wounded," she pointed out which mad

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
