"Hey. Want some booze?" A calm female voice asked but Damon's eyes were just fixed on the novel he was reading."I'm sorry, okay. I know I've been a swine, so I'm sorry." Athena apologized when Damon didn't give her a speck of attention.Damon dropped the novel he was trying to read and turned to face the woman standing with a wine and two glasses"Are you planning to get me drunk?" He asked and invited her to come sit.Athena chuckled and sat down on the couch closer to him, "Electra told me you have a very high tolerance for alcohol so, don't worry, I won't even try to get you drunk." She replied with a smile. "Alright, how's your health? Getting better huh?" "Yeah, I am. It's a normal thing for me, I get such panic attacks whenever I see something relating to my past." She revealed."I'm interested in your past, are you ready to talk about it or are you just here to judge me as usual?" He asked and she chuckled."I'm sorry for whatever I did, I am just... You know, like that. I'm
The phone was ringing. Damon's eyes were closed, he cussed in the state of subconsciousness at the intruder that was disturbing his sleep. He'd labored for that sleep before it finally took him in its weak slumber. The phone continues to ring but he chooses to ignore it, the caller will either get tired of calling and stop or get frustrated. Simple and plain. He's not compromising his rest for anything, he'd finally gotten the little rest he deserved after a very long time. The ringing stopped only to resume again, well... The caller has a strong resolution. He brought his wrist close to his mouth and muttered, "AI, block that fucking call." "Call blocked." The robotic voice announced and a smug graced his sleepy face."It's already 8:50 in the morning." It disclosed but Damon chose to ignore it. Having the AI is a blessing and a curse for him.Damon tried to sleep again but he could not, the call had definitely chased away the little sleep in his eyes. Opening his eyes, he l
"Well, that's a well-thought-out plan. Extraordinarily promising, it's dangerous but it's good." Electra said as she stuffed some hot tacos in her mouth. "Stop talking with your mouth full, you're eating something spicy you know?" Trevor cautioned but the woman just scoffed at him and refocused her attention back on Damon who was sitting and studying some files. He'd brief them on what to do and the three of them believed it was a perfect plan. Lethal but reasonable... They've got to take the risk. "You should call your assassins back then, I don't think they can help anymore, besides we're going there on our own," Athena suggested. "Yeah I think so, they've been there for a long time. I'm sure they miss home and all their friends." Trevor agreed."What's your take on it, Electra?" Athena asked the young woman who was busy eating. They'd tagged her foodie but Electra's insane appetite for today was insane, she had surpassed what she'd take this week alone. "I'll go with whatever
TWO WEEKS LATER. "What are we going to do boss? I'm going wild right now." Electra asked, pacing around in the tenth they'd set up for the night. "Why are you so restless? Hold your horses, Electra." Trevor conveyed. Electra stopped pacing, turned to look at him, and frowned, "We've not heard from Athena for the past two days we camped here and you want me to hold my horses? You have to be kidding me." She said in frustration and sat down on the nearest chair."Okay, keep up with the worry, Let's see if that would bring her back." Trevor huffed and turned back to start working on his laptop. Damon sighed, maybe it was truly a bad idea to send Athena into that fortress, he should not have agreed when she suggested it. Some of the assassins they had sent for the past few months came back with some useful information; they could not gather evidence because the security in the fortress was extraordinarily elevated. Before one would get in, there'd be so many scans and checkups by dif
Damon's eyes scanned the huge building they were entering, there were guards which of course were killer machines in every corner of the building. They may be men on the outside but they are void of emotions, those types kill without a tug of emotions... Probably, animals are way better than them. "Move!!" The order came from one of the soldiers who was leading them inside. The men in the building who have undergone the experiment are regarded as ‘Machines’ Or ‘Soldiers.’ They don't call them assassins like they usually do.Damon looks around for Electra but he cannot find her, he can't help but pray that she should be alright. He'd stopped praying at a very young age when he found out that no matter how hard he beseeched, none of his prayers were ever answered, in fact, his situation seemed to get worse sometimes so he'd decided to quit the habit, however, as they take them to a new cell today, he can't help but pray that his faithful shield is safe and sound. They've been here for
"If things go well, what would be my reward?" Athena asked as she worked her way around the huge primary system center.Damon turned to look at her in fascination, "What kind of reward do you want, great mind?" He asked, his eyes focused on her.This was the last phase of the mission, once the system got hacked and destroyed, everything in the fortress would be affected because every little device was connected to the primary system center. "How about you organize a party for us? It won't be bad to have our own party. We have a house full of young blood eager for fun, a party would not harm. What do you think?" She asked, her fingers working on the laptop keyboard violently."I'll think about it, just stay focused." He replied and Athena smiled. It might be the last part of the operation but it is extremely difficult too. If they're caught, they'll be done for good. "All done, we're awaiting your order," Electra announced as she halted beside them. "Good, is the communication with
The situation in the big van was exceptionally apprehensive, all eyes were on one device; the laptop in front of them. Damon's eyes were so focused on the laptop that they didn't even blink much, his heart pounded furiously against his ribcage. They'd successfully escaped from the fortress but the virus that was meant to affect the system was yet to be completed. When Athena had told him about the system alert if she introduced the virus to it, he was alarmed. If the system alarms them, they'll be in great danger, and escaping would become a mirage. In order to create another diversion, he'd activated the bomb he and his teammates had planted in some part of the fortress, and that did the magic. Once the bombs began to explode, the soldiers' attention was on it. They would definitely be confused because they'll think that someone was attacking them and hence finding the intruder... As the bombs kept exploding at random, they were able to speed towards the escape route because the
"We've got everything, boss. All the proof that would take them down, I just have one slight worry right now." Athena said as she turned to face Damon who was engrossed in his phone."What do you mean?" Electra asked."There would be many displaced assassins once the exposure is done and many of them would be rendered homeless. What are we going to do about it, especially those that are now termed ‘Machines'? They are very dangerous when it comes to mingling with humans because they're no longer much of a human. We need to do something about them, we want to help them but we should also think about their safety." She explained and Damon sighed softly. It's just a few hours since they got back into the mansion and it's still a tight situation for them, they need to give the evidence to the right people and thanks to Doctor Alec, they found the right person to give it. Once it's morning, their exposure would start... He'd kept them in a tight spot by damaging their system, by morning t
