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,
The metal walls would resound anything thrown at them, Mary could feel her hands tied as she struggled “You know tying my hands changes nothing” she said smiling, her face bruised and her skin slightly pale.“That’s why you have the collar on you” the voice emerged from the darkness, she couldn’t see but whoever talked to her could see her quite perfectly and would know her next move.“Huh…collar..arghh” she screamed, David walked calmly from the shadows, his face with disappointment “We have made technology restricting collars for every user, well except Ultimate, I wasn’t so sure as to who would betray our cause,” he said pacing around her in the shackles she had been put in.“You don’t understand,” She said, her voice having a hint of remorse “I did this for us, for all of us” she added looking at David’s cold gaze “You did this for your greed, what made you sure that Ultimate would be at the palm of your hands?” David asked laying low, putting a knee down so he could be at her lev

Allen watched Valarie offer herself a seat on the couch “You haven’t answered me?” He looked at her, his wet hair leaving strands on his face, he looked as though he kept his anger just in check.“So can’t I be in the house of my future husband?” She asked rhetorically, her eyes watching his reaction “I would rather have death have my skin than become your husband” Allen said, clenching his fist.“Why do you despise me so?” She stood up walking closer to him, her fingers seemed to move faster than any parts of her, her fingers had begun to run on the surface of his bare chest where the robe had left open.“You have no right to me, go back to your father,” Allen said grabbing her hand “You’re not welcome here,” he said dropping her wrist “And the next time that you’re bold enough to be here, I’ll make sure your father won’t see ur ashes” he said walking off “Leave!” His voice resounded throughout the living room.“Don’t you want to know who your colleague’s accomplice was?” She asked,
“I ran as soon as you called, what is it?” William asked “Please sit” he offered David, noticing that he too came running “Ultimate, that’s what’s happening” David answered, taking the glass of water in front of him and gulping it down. “What happened?” William asked once more, his voice was calm.Bringing out a set of documents “I had my private investigation on Ultimate’s system” David said “And here’s what I found” showing pictures that were taken in old times, the background was a mix of black and white, the dresses worn by the persons seated there were quite old fashioned.William took the picture “That’s Allen, where did your source find it?” He asked him looking puzzled “He’d rather not tell, I never ask him about his sources but when I did, he wouldn’t tell me,” David said his eyes were calm yet they showed signs of fear.“It dates back to the 1870s,” William said tracing his hands on the faces of the people in the picture “How would you know that?” I felt a strong hunch towar
