The deed had already been done and all that clouded Allen's thought at that point was how to try to convince David that the safe would not be gone for long. Allen was about to speak but hesitated for a moment when he saw the look on David's face David stared at Allen, his eyes like chips of ice. "David, I need you to calm down okay?" Allen finally said. "I don't look tensed to you, or do I?" David questioned sarcastically. "That's not what meant, I....""I don't give a shit about what you mean, okay?" David bellowed. "Just bring back that safe and we're cool," David said, reducing the tone of his voice as soon as he realized that he was shouting. He turned to look at Stephanie in the face as if he knew that he was scaring her but he took his eyes off her in a heartbeat and focused them on Allen. "I'm going to bring it back, I just need you to trust me on my plan," I said as I cleaned my sweat again. "Listen here, I don't care about any of your plans. The safe got stolen from you

Allen stared at Stephanie for what seemed like an eternity. "You can't help with anything Stephanie, you don't understand the magnitude of the situation.""I... I can help. I can help you find him and bring the safe back. I didn't know you kept something that important in here, else I would have led him away." Stephanie said. "It's not your fault that bloody thief broke in here. You're not to blame for what is happening to me right now." Allen said in frustration as he walked back to the bed calmly and sat on it. As he sat, he tugged at his hair and wondered how he had gotten to this point. If he didn't find that safe, he was done for and not only will David come after him, but he will make sure that Allen feels the magnitude of what he has just lost. Allen stood up to exit the bedroom, but he immediately stood up, seeing that he had no plan and didn't know where to begin tracking the man who had stolen the safe. "Oh god, I wish Ultimate was here," Allen said, clutching his head w

The man with the safe clutched tightly to his chest ran through the shadows, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he fled from the scene of his crime. His heart pounded in his chest, a mix of adrenaline and fear coursing through his veins.He could hear the sounds of sirens in the distance, and the wailing of police cars as they raced towards the scene. But he knew he had a head start, knew that he could outrun them if he was fast enough.He reached the edge of the lawn, his eyes darting around for any signs of pursuit.The man sprinted towards the street, his footsteps pounding on the pavement as he raced towards the car that waited for him. He could see the driver inside, the engine idling in anticipation.The street was deserted, the lights from the passing cars casting a ghostly glow on the pavement. The man glanced over his shoulder, his eyes narrowing as he searched for any signs of pursuit.There was nothing. The sirens were growing fainter, the sounds of pursuit disappearing i

Allen ran his fingers through his hair, remembering how he first met David and understanding that he had never been this agitated at him or looked at him in such a stern manner gave him anxiety.His eyes wandered, now thinking for clues “The question here is how do I find this thief?” He muttered to himself, his eyes dim and cold, there were not many clues yet he thought to himself and called out to Stephanie, he was running out of time and he needed to check something as fast as he could.“Yes brother” she ran to him “I know I sent you away, I don’t want you involved in this, yet I need you to answer a few questions” Allen said still standing, his arms folded. “I’ll do anything I can to help, it’s also my fault he got away” she said, her eyes almost teary “It will be fine, just answer my questions calmly, okay” Allen said, his voice was softer.“What weapon did the thief yield?” He asked staring at her “I’m sure it was just the knife, when I pushed him, he wasn’t with another weapon

Marcel heard the mild yet awakening knock on the door, “perhaps did they get it?” He said under his breath, he went closer to the door, leaning in, looking through the tiny hole made in the door, and squinting his eyes, he saw the two men standing outside, one holding a rusty dumpster.He swiftly opened the door “Come inside, quickly” he said to them in a low tone urging them to move faster, as they walked in, he quickly closed the door behind them as swiftly as he could caring nonetheless if they were followed or not.“Do you have it?” Marcel asked, swallowing a lump in his throat “Only for you boss” the man said dropping the dumpster bucket onto the ground and bringing out the valued safe, Marcel looked at both of them, “Gentlemen, let’s walk further” he said signaling that they could walk into the fairly lit corridor.For an abandoned building, it sure looked lively, new if thought of it calmly, the man looked at Marcel, his eyes wandering “Don’t be frightened, it’s quite safe here

David’s eyes searched through the room, he wasn’t sure what he was looking for or what to look for, was it Allen? He thought to himself “Maybe I was too harsh with my words” David said looking out the window, the painting which hung on the side was somewhat misplaced.He placed his hands behind his back, “Whoever stole that safe has a lot on his plate, I’m sure” he muttered to himself, he also had work to do, he walked back to the seat behind his desk.“Who could have stolen the safe? I hope he finds it and quickly” David said adjusting his seat. He focused on the work on the desk in a way that it would distract him from the main issue at hand, he didn’t want to worry too much about the safe, judging from Allen’s determination, he will be able to find the thief, he thought to himself.“May I come in?” The solemn voice asked, instead of a knock, Mary would rather let the men hear her captivating voice “You may” David answered, his voice in distraught.“I see you haven’t been getting en

Allen couldn’t believe his eyes, even his ears felt too deaf to understand “Why does everyone desire Ultimate so badly, maybe that’s the reason, he chose me” Allen said, his eyes accepting who had stood before him.His hands tied vehemently to the chair “Blindfold him again” the lady said, her voice resounding “Yes ma’am” the scruffy man said taking out a dark piece of clothing to cover Allen’s eyes and putting a piece in his mouth to muffle his speech.“No one must know that he is here, I’ll be back for him,” she said walking off into the darkness. Allen was now in the hands of the enemy and may soon meet his end, being betrayed by a comrade made his heart ache even when all he could see was nothingness and darkness.The brightness burned into his eyes, Allen opened them again, his heart ached, and his body struggled to move the blindfolds were opened, and he could hear the guard's distant chatter, “Is he the one that has the so-called Ultimate?” One of the guards at the door asked w

Allen’s home had felt empty all day with him gone, his sister had begun to worry, Stephanie kept moving from room to room in futile effort to find her brother.“Is my brother home yet?” She asked one of the maids “No not yet, my lady” the lady said, her eyes avoiding Stephanie “I’ve been trying to get to his mobile” she added, her eyes had become teary, “I hope he’s okay, wherever he is” her voice had become shaky.Then the doorbell had been rung, alarming Stephanie “Is that him?” She asked, hope in her voice “It was my fault that he went to look for the thief and till now, he’s not here, that may be him” her eyes with a gleam of hope as she bolted to the door.“Hello” The soothing voice said, the young woman’s face felt too beautiful for Stephanie after opening the door, she took a step back to see who it was but she wasn’t sure if she could recognize the face in front of her.“I’m your brother’s colleague, Mary Jane” she said, stretching her hands forward watching Stephanie’s eyes,

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
