Back at the open deserted place, Damion, Jack, and Davina still had their eyes glued to these two individuals far ahead, they had already recognized one of them to be the leader of the Anslem group. Even with how silent they tried to be, there was no way they could eavesdrop on what was being discussed as they were a few meters away. It seemed that Scott and the other guy were not ready to leave yet, all of a sudden, they watched the other man walk to the other side of the road, his eyes all over the place, scanning the whole area. “Get down” Damion warned and they all got down low inside the vehicle, hoping that they weren't spotted. They were lucky as it seemed the man hadn't seen anything. He strolled towards a large van, and took a large box out of it, lifting it on his shoulders as he walked back to the other side. “Did he see us?” Davina stammered. “I don't think so, “ Damion replied. “Down” J
“Davi, are you alright?” Jack asked Davina nodded “Yes, I'm fine” “What the hell?” Damions said In ewe, his voice bringing the two back to what was in front of them. “Is this some kind of dream or what?” Davina asked as she stared at what was in front of her. “Guys come on, let's go in, we might get caught standing here” Damion whispered. “Hell no, there is no way I'm going in there, a wall just parted right before my eyes creating a passage to God knows where, and you ask me to go in there? Hell no” Davina declined “Come on Davi, would you rather stay out here?” Jack raised a brow. Davina sighed, it was truly better to go with them than stay out here waiting for the unknown “Fine” she muttered The trio with Damion at the front hastily walked into the opening, they could see another button by the side of the wall, Damion pushed it and the walls jammed to get her slowly like they
Confusion was all that was written on their faces, Damion and Jack stood just in front of the wall, they were confused, this was the same wall which had parted a few hours ago.If not that they saw it with their own eyes and even walked into it, they would have never believed that this particular wall could open and close. “Why is it not opening?” Jack panicked, his eyes filled with worry and he banged his fist on the wall. Damion sighed seeing the reaction from Jack, he knew he was the one who dragged them into this, Davina had earlier declined to come with them and later changed her mind which had now resulted in this. “We are going to get Davina back,” Damion assured, not sure how but he just knew they would. “But how” Jack questioned with a worried look as he turned to Damion. Damion stared blankly at Jack, with no clue in mind, he stood still, racking his brain trying to see if he could figure out something. <
It was nowhere near comfortable for Damion and Jack as they tried so hard to fit into two of the boxes in the pickup truck. “Oh man, my legs hurt,” Jack complained from inside the boxes. “Just stay still, we will be out in no time” Damion assured him, he wasn't comfortable, as he could also feel pains around his knee region and shoulders. From the roof of the large box, Damion had his eyes pressed to a little opening on the box, taking a peek outside.He could see that they had traveled far into the place, trucks were moving about and everyone was busy working. Not only trucks but there were also soldiers in dark blue uniforms moving around. “This place is like a complete city of its own,” Damion commented. “Have you seen something?” Jack inquired.“Not really, just a bunch of soldiers and trucks, it baffles me as I still don't know what the hell they are trying to do here” Damion answered. Jack
Never had Davina thought that she would find herself in a situation as dire as this, she didn't need a soothsayer to know that the cold metal she felt at the back of her head was a gun. “Move it” the teenage boy's voice came again, this time with more seriousness. Never had Davina thought that a boy of this age would wield a gun. She raised her hands in the air showing that she was unarmed and that she wasn't a threat of any kind. “You have to calm down kiddo, I'm not here to hurt you” Davina muttered, trying so hard to keep her composure.“Hurt me?” The boy scoffed, “I'm the one with the gun, remember?” He added and pressed the gun more into the back of Davina's head, applying pressure in an attempt to push her out of the room.Davina got the idea immediately “ok, don't shoot I will go out and I won't trouble you anymore, i will leave as you were, trust me, we never met”Davina stepped out of the room and slowly tur
The word ‘busted’ slipped out of Jack's mouth, as he already knew they had been caught. He turned around and could see Jeremy approaching. “What do we do ?” Jack inquired, as he glanced at Damion, who remained silent. “We should run,” Jack suggested as he prepared to run. “No, we should wait,” Damion answered.“Are you kidding me?, if we wait here we will get caught and only God knows what they would do to us, we still don't know if Davina has been caught or not,” Jack complained. “You want us to run? To where? We don't know anywhere around here, if we run he might raise an alarm and you know what that would mean for us” Damion countered. “What would it mean?” Jack raised a brow. Damion slapped his forehead, he couldn't believe that with what he had just explained it was still difficult for Jack to comprehend. “It means we are doomed, man. Totally” “I see, so what do we do, we can't just stand here and wait till we are caught,” Jack replied. “We have been caught already, he i
Walking around with the uniform on had been helpful but not totally, this was because they had encountered a few difficulties on the way which had almost given them out, thanks to Jeremy who had been the one to bring them out of this situation. As they walked through the sidewalk, they finally came out to a place where they could see the clear sky. “Why the hell is this place?” Jack exclaimed as he raised his head, his eyes glued to the dark sky above, it was clear it was already nighttime. Jeremy smiled as he waved at another worker who could be seen parking some boxes into a warehouse, before turning to Jack. “It's called the underground city, due to its hidden nature. To be honest I'm a little bit shocked at how y'all were able to locate this place.”“I can say Jack is the genius behind locating this place,” Damion said, parting Jack on the shoulder.“Genius?” Jack tried to shrug it off. “Common you located it, I'm surprised how you do it, this place is quite hidden from the r
There is always this sense of relief whenever you realize you are no longer in trouble, your heart which was initially a mess, pounding at a tremendous pace, more like it was going to burst or jump out of your mouth gradually began to steady itself. The heavy pounding subsides until it's In sync with your breath, slow and steady like still water and then you figure out that you are suddenly at peace, this was exactly the way Davina, Jack, and Damion felt as they drove through the streets of Gold City.“I thought you guys were gone, I was shocked to see that you came back for me,” Davina remarked, her emotions visible in the tone of her voice and also in her facial expression. “Of Course, we would” Damion chipped in as he held on to the wheel tightly. “I would never leave you behind, you should know that,” Jack added as he leaned forward and stroked Davina's hair. Damion saw this action through the front mirror and sighed “Lo
