Ju.. just ended, I.. think she left” the man standing at the counter answered, his voice was shaky as he stuttered “What if I say, I don’t believe you?” The man asked, his face scarred.“Boys, check the door over there,” he said pointing his gun in the direction of the door leading to the kitchen “Yes boss” they answered as they quickly rushed in with their guns.Ellen put her hand over Sally’s mouth as she shook her head in horror as they both stood on the toilet in the ladies’ washroom.Trying to maintain their balance, they had to be stealthy and then, they heard someone walk into the washroom door, a tear trickled down Sally’s face, her eyes watching Ellen in horror ‘Calm down’ Ellen mouthed.The person who walked through the door quickl

David could hardly believe his eyes, this man held his fist almost immediately, pulling away from him as swiftly “Suprised?” The man asked rhetorically “Don’t be” he said walking towards David as he talked “Ellen, you need to get out of here, now” David said to her “What..what’s happening? Who are these people?” She asked him breathing heavily with tears in her eyes.“I doubt you know your cousin, as much as we know him,” the man said, approaching David “She is not to be involved, he’s looking for me and not her,” David said loudly to the man’s hearing “Well, my orders were straightforward, I am to bring the girl, whether you like it or not” he answered, a smirk forming over his lips.“Please.. we don’t need to cause more commotions here” David pleaded “Like I said before, we’ll take the girl and you’ll follow quietly behind, is that too hard to do” the man answered, his hands clasped together as though he was pleading as well.“Ellen, it’s gonna be fine, okay, let’s go, you’ll follow

Allen came to a halt, “Really, so he’s resulted to using the same cheap tricks he used on me to lure David” Allen said over the phone “Yeah, apparently, he’ll keep his cousin hostage until he does his bidding” Phily answered.“He must be feeling helpless, but the truth is, he kinda deserves it, working with a crooked man,” Allen said “Yeah, but his cousin’s innocent, I heard they raided the cafè where she worked and killed some innocent people there,” Philly said “That’s how he is” Allen replied.“What if I tell you that we can use this opportunity,” Philly said over the phone, his voice sounding ecstatic “How do you mean?” Allen asked. “What if we make a deal with David?, it seems as though he refuses to be his hunting dog” Phily suggested.“I’m listening” Allen responded “What if we help him free his cousin and send her to a safe place and ask for his help?” Phily said, “What makes you think he’ll be willing to help?” Allen asked “He knows all too well that she will die in his hands

He had thought long and hard, remembering his response to Lincoln “Why are you doing this?” David asked, his voice a bit throaty “You’re one of the few people who can defeat Allen Scott, just this one time David” Lincoln said in a patronizing voice.“Oh and if you think you have a choice, remember little Ellen” Lincoln added, a smile formed on his lips as he sat down on the side cushion “Don’t you touch her, I’ll do what you ask” he answered “There we go, now we’re on the same page, I need you to start tomorrow, partner,” Lincoln said as he walked through the doorway to another part of the house.Now, his eyes were wide open in the middle of the night “How am I supposed to sleep? Ellen’s in their custody, and until Allen’s dead, I can’t do a thing” he said to himself running his fingers vigorously through his hair. He stood up from the bed, turning the lights on which were on the side table close to the bed, he walked downstairs in an attempt to get some water.He quickly went downsta

“Are you moving?” Mrs Hugoi asked in a frail voice “Yeah, I am, someone broke into the bunker, it’s just common sense that I change my environment” Allen answered “You can always come to see me there, honestly, it’s not so far from here” he added smiling a bit.“Thank you so much Mrs Hugoi, you have been of great help to me,” he said as a voice called out in the distance “Arnold Norton?” The man asked, walking towards Allen “Yes, I’m Arnold” he answered “Then sign here, so you’ll be with us for the moving of things right?” The man asked, taking his cap and putting it over his head. “Yeah,” he answered before the man left for the blue truck with a load of things.“Arnold?” Mrs. Hugoi asked surprised “Yeah, that’s my new name, you know, a lot of people are looking for me” he whispered smiling “It’s a nice name” she replied chuckling a bit “Yeah it is, like I said, you and Casandra are free anytime” he said calmly as he walked into the passenger seat of the truck as they drove off.“What

David was already present at the mansion, giving commands as to his mission of finding Allen “I need stats as to where he was seen last and maybe footage” he said to one man as the place looked chaotic, everyone was trying their best to follow his commands duly.“Hmm, I can see that you’re already at work McKinney,” Lincoln said emerging from the pathway leading to the exquisite rooms, “You’re quite serious about this now, aren’t you?” He asked putting his hands behind his back.David turned around to look at him, his eyes showing nothing but wrath “I’m only doing this because of the leverage you have over me” David said “Whatever reason you’re doing it for, what matters is that Allen Scott will be out of sight and out of mind” Lincoln answered with a smile on his lips as he patted his back softly.“If this works out perfectly in three days, you’ll get to see your dear Ellen” Lincoln said before finally walking off. David had a disgruntled expression, his eyes watching Lincoln closely

Allen heard all they had spoken about, “Keito Hima, one of the bottom feeders of the seven, the one who is greedy for much power” he said smiling “Why don’t I do you a favor?

What do you want?” He asked, his eyes in horror as he saw the dagger in his hands “You don’t even know the man you want to communicate with” Allen answered smiling.“All..Allen Sc..ott” the man said, his knees going down begging as he rubbed his hands together “You should’ve yelled for help first,” Allen said as he moved closer, Keito screamed, his voice showing peril and danger alerting the men who had gone after Lincoln.“See you on the other side,” All

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
