If she had stayed a little longer, he would have tried to read her mind again.

But the banging pain he was feeling in his skull seemed to have evaporated completely at that moment so he had a strong feeling that the ability wasn't going to work at that moment without any trace of the pain. He wished that he knew how to control the ability and use it when he wanted to use it but unfortunately, it seemed as if the ability was the one using him.

The ability would only come whenever there was a tense condition and to think that it wasn't even all tense conditions that it came. He had to learn more about the strange ability but who could he possibly learn it from?

People would think that he was mad if he told them that he could hear their thoughts. Even his father who was standing close to him wouldn't believe it so he just had to keep it to himself.

Della’s haste was palpable and her gaze fixed as she dodged between the pedestrians, her feet pounding on the pavement as she searched for

    “I am damn sure. She was just here.”Della’s path was untraceable as she had already walked a few feet away from where the steward was. She was still on the lookout for Della and Tierra though but she was now feeling that perhaps she wasn't going to find them.Just as she was about to return to the phone booth to check if Alan was still there with Dexter, she saw the two ladies she was looking for far ahead although not too far from where she was.She increased her pace as she sought to meet up with them before they boarded a taxi.Luckily for her, she was able to catch up with Quorra and Tierra just as they were about to board the taxi.“Hey, hey, please can I have a moment of your time,” Della requested, her hands clasped to gather and her breath heaving with exhaustion because of the distance she had to cover to reach them.Quorra retracted from the taxi to attend to Della. “Oh, yes. Do we know you from somewhere? You look familiar.”“Yes, that would be from the warehouse. You both

    Quorra and Tierra shifted uncomfortably, their brow creasing with weariness. Tierra responded. “We can’t provide the answers to your questions. We are only happy to be alive. I admit that you might be onto something there but what does that matter when we are just happy to be alive? If you have a theory somewhere, you can tell us and maybe you will be right but you see, two days ago we never imagined that we would be here mourning a death that is not ours.”Quorra’s expression turned frosty, her unease evident in her stiff posture. “Exactly! We shouldn't be the ones to be asked these questions. Maybe the employees outside were the ones who informed Alan that we were stuck inside. I don't know. Whatever happened that made Alan so sure that we were inside the fire and that we needed saving isn't our concern.”“But perhaps you should be a little curious. Maybe you should pay more attention to these things,” Della spoke, her words carrying a weight of stubbornness and disappointment.Quo

    “Of course son. Yeah, I get headaches sometimes. Everyone has headaches. Where are you going with this?” Dexter asked.“No, I don’t mean just normal headaches. I am talking about very extreme ones. The kind where you begin to feel like a machine is whirring in your brain so loudly and you can’t even feel your surroundings for a moment.”Alan wanted to gradually introduce his experience to Dexter and see if he was going to decode what he was talking about. If he was able to decode, then Alan would know that he had also been having the psychic experience and that he was only trying to hide it from him all this while.“A machine? What exactly are you talking about son? If you are talking about a headache, then yes of course I have headaches. It gets serious sometimes but I can only imagine that it is the same way it is for everyone,” Dexter explained, his brow furrowed in confusion.“I understand but what I am asking you about is more than just any serious headache. You begin to get freq

    Alan’s expression hardened, his breath coming in short sharp gasps as he saw Mr. Billing standing there with his eyes darting dark glares toward him.Just when he thought that it was only Mr. Billing that he had to deal with, he heard the footsteps of someone walking behind him.There he was - Lesley Billing standing firm beside his father Mr. Billing.They glared at Alan with a fierce and predatory energy, their eyes burning with a cold energy.Mr. Billing especially had his whole body burning with anger and with his voice low and a dangerous growl, he spoke. “What a perfect time to destroy you.”Alan smiled in the face of danger, his confidence a shield against fear and doubt. Even though it was an uncomfortable situation, he relished the idea of defeating Mr. Billing.He had already humiliated Lesley Billing before so doing that again was just going to be an icing on the cake. He had been secretly waiting for the opportunity when he was going to crumble Mr. Billing and put him to h

    Alan’s body thumped into the ground as his body was overcome with pain. His eyes were squeezed shut as he was finding it difficult to breathe. He was condemned to ruin in the wake of Mr. Billing’s fury.While he was writhing in pain on the ground, he heard the annoying boastings of Lesley.“Why don't you show what you are made of now?” Lesley yelled, his taunts a sickening mix of arrogance and contempt.“Are you so weak that only one punch would be able to put you down so easily? Haha, who would have thought? That you were only hiding behind your wealth and the protection that it offered you. Look at you now, you are exposed in the middle of nowhere and you have nothing to show for all of your acclaimed praises. You can’t even put up a fight. Look at you, holding your ribs like a rabbit that has been rattled by cats.”Alan’s body convulsed, the pain a reminder of his vulnerability as his teeth clenched in a silent scream of anger. He wished that his psychic ability could come so quic

    Alan was unforgiving as he fired a barrage of punches on Lesley’s chest.Lesley’s breath was a harsh wheeze as he struggled to remain conscious. He was in a state that was between life and death.He suddenly collapsed in a heap after Alan had tormented him to his satisfaction.Lesley lay on the ground, helpless and lifeless with his arm flared out in vain on the ground and his eyes squeezed shut.Alan raised his gaze towards Mr. Billing and he picked up his thoughts as well.[What?! Who even is this guy? He must be a freak][How can he be so strong][No, no. He is coming for me. This is terrible. I hope I survive this. What even is this guy? How does it look like he suddenly regained his energy]Something was drawing Mr. Billing away but he knew that it was going to be embarrassing if he acted like a coward even though he started feeling as if the scales were not in his favor. There was something about the way Alan’s eyes were shining that made it seem like it was an obvious danger to

    “Come on. Why don’t you tell me what is wrong? You look surprised about something. We are lucky to be alive now. We need to hurry and be out of here as soon as possible. The residents here might have seen what happened and the police could be on their way out here soon.”Dexter trembled as he finally spoke. “Yeah, you are right. We need to be out of here.”The return to their abode was a quiet journey as Decter kept pondering about the show of skill that he had seen Alan display. He hoped that it wasn't something for him to be worried about.***It was very dark in the night hour as Alan was very tired from the day’s troubles. He recalled the troubles of the day and lamented in his mind that the day that was supposed to be for Rose turned out to be such a chaotic day.Alan secretly found his way towards the tomb where Rose was buried. The event at the procession was a mess so he had to properly pay his respects to Rose.He switched on his torchlight in search of the memorial inscripti

    “If this is the way it would end, I have no choice but to flow along with the tides. It is only a shame that the people who killed you were the people you had trusted even though it was for a brief moment.”“It is needless to say that I would revenge those who hurt you and insulted your grave. I will hunt them to the ends of the earth until they taste the horrors of death. I will–”As Alan was reciting his tribute, he noticed a shadow looming behind him. His body tensed as he felt the figure zoom past like smoke amid the darkness.He turned back to see if someone was standing there but of course, there was no one. How could there be someone amid the tombstones at such a late time of the night? He chose that hour even from the morning when the procession began so that he was going to be alone and undisturbed.When he was sure that there was no one there, he continued his words. “I will ensure that those who made sure that you were denied of peace are—”Alan was interrupted again as a s

    He was in a hurry to get things done quickly because he knew that it was going to be only a matter of time before the guards would discover that the public service system had been hacked.“When you get on the other side of the purple fence, just hang in there until we come to get you okay?”Jackson’s hands were large and measured, his touch gentle as he took Brody’s hands into his own.“Come on, I will show you the way and then you will complete the move,” Jackson’s voice was soft, his voice sincere as he was careful not to scare the boy with too much haste even though he was in a hurry and rightfully so.They crept until they got to the entrance which was just a few meters away from where they were. Jackson’s eyes were alert as he watched to see that there was no guard close to them that would impede their move.They hid behind the cars, creeping through the shadows with their eyes narrowed with a tense intent to get as far away from view as possible.Jackson then reached a point whe

    “Come on, let’s go. We can't just sit here and do nothing after all. We have to do something.”With a grim determination, the guards all filed out of the lobby one after the other, their footsteps resounding through the empty hallways.The tension was palpable in the air as their weapons glinted in the harsh fluorescent light.Their bodies were taut with adrenaline as they headed towards their destination.Alan’s face glimmered with a relieved twinkle of gratitude the moment he saw that the guards had all gone.He then whispered to Jackson. “Hey, Jackson. Call Fred now and tell him to his way to the purple fence area. That’s the easiest route out of here. Tell him to get there as quickly as possible. That’s where Brody would have to go meet him.”Brody was confused, his face darting left and right as he was trying to understand what Alan was saying.Where was he saying that he was going to go? Since when did the plan become that he was going to go somewhere?Alan crouched down, his fa

    “No one, I believe. You see what I am saying. What if they already got past this place and they are already heading outside.”“Think about it, I don’t think they would want to escape through the outside. Look at the way that they came in. We didn’t even know. None of us knew until they got to the top floor and killed two guards.”“It’s obvious they are trained so we have to think along the line of the fact that they are more than prepared for this.”“They probably outlined every step of the way before they came.”“Not probably, man. They did, it’s quite obvious.”“I guess it’s a draw right now. Mr. Lawrence already has one of them while they have gotten Brody.”“We must get back Brody, man. That’s the instruction. Mr. Lawrence has ordered a closure of all entry points right now and it is already in process. Everything must be on lockdown until Brody is found.”“We can’t afford to fool around.”“What if they are holed up in one of the offices? We should search each room systematically.

    Mr. Lawrence then moved his eyes closer to Della’s face to get a clearer view of what was going on.“Wait, what? You look familiar,” Mr. Lawrence’s eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing into Della with the intensity of a predator sizing up its prey.His expression was hardened as a cruel smile spread across his face.“You look awfully and strangely familiar I must say,” Mr. Lawrence remarked again.He wasn’t sure of whether to keep up with his suspicion or to ignore it. He was sure that there was something about her that was too strange to ignore.It dawned on him that the person that she traced her face to was actually that of Rose Billing, the same woman that he murdered.He paused once more and spoke. “I know who you are, don’t I?”Della’s lips curled very slightly by the side as if she was trying to give Mr. Lawrence the clue that he needed.And Mr. Lawrence picked up the clue. He was shocked by the resemblance that Della had with Rose and even though he tried to ignore it as nothing b

    “You are Brody, aren’t you?” Alan asked.The boy nodded in affirmation. Jackson’s grip on Brody’s hands loosened and Brody’s shoulders were relaxed gradually even though he knew subconsciously that there were most likely going to be some problems lying ahead.“I know you,” Brody spoke to Alan. “I saw you the other day when Mr. Lawrence killed Rose. You are Rose’s husband right?”Alan paused as if he was in a deep emotional thought before he then nodded.“Yes, I was.”It was a moment of reflection for both Alan and Brody as they both seemed to have missed Rose.Brody didn’t get to spend much time with Rose but it was obvious that the little time that he had spent with her was more than enough for him to miss her for a lifetime possibly.“And Della, the lady who texted on the phone. Are you her partner? Do you work with her? Where is she?” Brody asked.He was in a hurry to receive answers to his questions because he was still a little bit scared.“She is going to be with us soon, Brody

    The air seemed to thicken with tension, the silence broken only by the faint click of gun safeties being engaged.Alan then whispered into his radio, hoping that he was going to connect with Della. “Della, are you there? We are about to open fire on the guards who want to lock Brody in the basement. We are going to need backup, over.”That was all Alan needed to say and he believed that he had said enough already.They moved a few more steps with deadly precision, their footsteps soft and stealthy as they crept closer to the guards. They saw as the guards were shoving and dragging Brody and this time, they were going to lock him into the basement.They were no longer interrogating him about the phone because there were bigger issues to deal with.But Alan and Jackson thought that it was time to raise a response.The guards burst the basement door open and were prepared to shove Brody into a dark room but there was a sudden startling noise of gunfire.Pow! Pow!Boom!The hail of bulle

    Alan was just a few feet away hiding behind one of the pillars. The moment she saw the harsh slap that was performed against the boy, he gritted his teeth in frustration as he became provoked to cause a disruption.Why would they treat such a young boy like that? He had to hold and keep himself in check so that they would stay according to plan.But considering the way he was feeling, he wished that he could just start a gunfire right away. He began to rethink whether it was best to engage the guards with gunfire right away or if they should wait a while until Brody got locked in the basement and they would try to open it up.Just as he was still having a deliberation in his mind, the guards continued with their harsh treatment toward the boy.“Yeah, right, we are not stupid,” Guard two spoke. “Look at the faces of all of us standing here.”Brody’s face was still facing the ground as he was dealing with the harsh effect of the assault but he felt a hand shove his head back up so that

    Alan and Jackson froze in place, his breath caught in his throat as he clung himself to the wall. His heart pounded in his chest as he heard the guards’ footsteps growing closer.Time seemed to be very slow as the guards drew nearer, their footsteps echoing off the walls of the hallway but Alan gripped his weapon tightly just in case the situation was going to demand it.But as they got closer, two other guards joined them. They now seemed to be five and they were discussing.Alan and Jackson were picking up on their conversations.“The boss said to keep him in the basement.”“There are many ways that the boss can get the boy on his side. After all, he is his son. I don’t see why there should be an issue between them.”“The boy is a cool guy to me.”“This isn’t about whether he is a cool guy or not. We should listen to what the boss says.”“Come on, this is not to say that I wouldn’t listen to what he says. I am only telling you as a colleague that there is no need for being so harsh

    Fred was ready to go for it all. “If you need our main ID badge, my colleague can go them now. She will get mine too but I was hoping you would already know the company we are coming from. We already have a contract here.”The guard who was talking balderdash earlier scurried into the conversation. “But I haven’t seen you guys before. Especially the bright-skinned darling we have here. I would have known if I had seen her before.”Fred responded. “Well, we are not always the same and I am sure you already know that. Today, it is our shift to come to complete the repairs and as we said, we are actually running out of time.”“My colleague can quickly go and get the ID badges if that is what is delaying us from entry.”Fred was speaking with the hope that the guard was going to shrug off the situation and ask Della not to worry.But he needed to show that he wasn’t hiding something and the only way that he could do that effectively was to pretend as if everything was going fine and as ex
