''What happened in there?'' Charles Ban asked with wide eyes as he saw Barter and Shadow and Pius coming towards him.''You are lucky,'' Shadow said to Charles Ban and showed him the other two men that were with him.Pius' back was torn as if he imploded. His flesh hung loose as a result of when Greg Chase made contact with him after he had turned into a watcher.Pius had Barter to thank for saving his life. If not that Barter dared to pull Pius away from Greg Chase before he completely got to him, Pius would have been minced meat by now, and they would have been cleaning up his remains in Greg Chase's house. As for Barter, apart from feeling beat up and looking like death, his hand was slightly grazed from when he was saving Pius.Everything was chaotic. Charles Ban just stared at everyone in shock, not knowing what to do in the slightest.He wondered if he would have survived if he had dared to enter that building. Thank goodness Shadow made him stay back. ''Greg Chase is a watc
"Don't tell anybody what you saw," Greg Chase told Scissors after he had changed form back to being a regular human being. Scissors had hurried into the living room when Greg called for him, only for him to be dazed, standing shocked on the spot as he watched his employer gradually morph into a fiery ball of fire and other elements that Scissors could not identify. "What?" Scissors muttered as Greg Chase successfully morphed completely into this unknown element. Greg Chase patted Scissors on his shoulder, trying to break him out of his daze, while Scissors just stared at Greg as if he was a ghost. In fact, Greg was a ghost as far as Scissors was concerned.Scissors considered it torture that he would not be allowed to say what he saw about Greg Chase to anyone. He just saw a watcher, for the first time in his life. Watchers were like a myth, and he just saw one, yet he was instructed to keep quiet about it? It was difficult for Scissors to keep quiet about what he saw. In fact,
Greg Chase started to shake his head as he tried to step out of the jacuzzi totally, but he was restrained by a force heavier than himself. ''What the fuck?'' Greg Chase exclaimed as he held the back of his head in pain.The force had slammed him against the wall so hard that he though he would lose a screw in his head. ''Where do you think you are going? Did you forget the rules? While I am here, you can only get to be at least ten yards close. You can't come to me,'' the man said to Greg.''I wasn't going to meet you. I was looking out for my employee. Why did you make him mute? I need to see him now, he does not deserve this,'' Greg Chase said. ''Oh? Well, I am not done speaking with you, and I could not have left the way for you to pass, would I?'' the man asked. ''Okay what else do you want to say? Say it, I have to meet up woth my subordinate. Why did you make him mute, he does not deserve this. He won't say anything,'' Greg Chase argued.''He will be able to speak again aft
''Greg!'' Laura said with a gentle voice. Greg Chase was speechless. Not Laura, certainly not Laura Ban, he was not expecting her at all. She was the last person on his mind, heck, he thought that she was dead. ''What the hell are you doing here, Laura?'' Greg Chase asked again, looking at Laura from head to toe and weighing her, noticing the obvious change that had happened to her physically. ''I came to see you, Greg. I heard you are a watcher, is it true?'' Laura asked. Greg Chase's eyes shone in disbelief.Where on earth did she get that information?He looked to his left and to his right, and then pulled Laura in when he saw that nobody was around to see them. Laura tripped and nearly fell on top of Greg as she was not expecting such a hard push from him. Then Greg shut the door and looked at Laura again.''Does your husband know that you have left the house?'' Greg asked.Laura shrugged.''He no longer restrains me like before. In fact, he no longer restrains me at all,'' s
Laura slept in Greg Chase's house that day, and she slept soundly. The last time she felt as good as she currently felt was five years ago. More than five years ago to be precise, nearly six. Greg was in his room thinking about the fact that the former love of his life was right under the same roof with him, while Laura was thinking about the same thing. Fortunately, the thing that gave both of them a sleepless night was positive. Tossing and turning was the order of the night. At the wee hours of the morning, at about 5 AM, Laura Ban woke up from the one hour of sleep that she had tried to accord herself. Feeling enthusiastic, she left her room and went in search of Greg Chase's room. Laura had to open every door in the long hallway, in search of Greg Chase's room. She was greatly taken aback when she opened the door of the room that Scissors was in. It was not up to twenty four hours since he was set in a daze and for reasons that Greg Chase could not understand after Laur
It was not until Laura left Greg Chase's house that she realized that she had stayed out too long. She panicked. She would have accepted Greg Chase's offer to drop her off but she could not risk it. At such a time when she had started to be in Mr. Ban's good book, she wanted to spoil it already.Laura scolded herself. How could she have been carried away the way she was?Well, how could she not have been carried away the way she was?As she went home, her mind flashed back to the man she saw in the room when she was looking for Greg. Greg had said he was sleeping.Fully dressed? Staring at the ceiling? How? How possible was it? Laura thought about these so hard and deeply to the extent that she didn't know she had reached Mr. Ban's house. It was still pretty early, and everywhere was quiet apart from the incessant sound of crickets yelling. Laura paused in front of the gate and took a look around, making sure that nobody was watching her sneak in. She slid into the compound,
Scissors allegiance became so strong for Greg Chase. Very intense. If anyone asked Scissors why he had become so intense, be would start to argue. It was pretty intense. So everyone let him be. Luckily, Greg Chase knew the reason Scissors was like that and he couldn't wait to see "the man."He didn't ask for this, not at all... Scissors was going to give him out if he was not careful. "Let's hit them now, boss. This is the best time. I'm in shape to do it," Scissors told Greg Chase. He really couldn't wait at all. "They are expecting me. Now that they know what I am, they will wait for me to make a wreckloose of myself," Greg Chase suggested. Scissors frowned. He didn't understand what Greg Chase meant by "what I am.""What do you mean, Mr. Chase?" Scissors asked. Greg Chase chuckled. "Make up your mind on what you want to call me," Greg Chase said to Scissors. Scissors looked list. "Is it boss or Mr. Chase?" Greg Chase added. Scissors realized the problem and smiled.
Because Barter only caught a glimpse of the watcher, his fate was different from becoming a walker just like Scissors had. Besides, the essence of a watcher could not mix with a rival so Barter had become a sworn enemy of the watcher, and part of this "curse" was that an inscription would appear on his face as a marking. That was a hideous place for Barter to be in. If anyone recognized the markings on his face, he would be by the markings on his face, Barter could become an outcast, as everyone considered the watcher a sacred being. "A sworn enemy..." Barter, Shadow, Mr. Ban, and Charles Ban said in unison at the understanding of what was on Barter's face. "Right, I'm going to get killed for free," Barter said with a trembling voice. His eyes glared with horror as he thought of the reality that was going to befall him. "Wear a mask, you can't afford to be seen like this, your death would be horrible," Mr. Ban told him. "Yes, the death of a sworn enemy is usually obscure
