"And you've been covered by the rain"
The elderly man with a limp had taken a pause to stare at the completely rain drenched man standing by the door as the man also did what he did and was slowly closing the door to stop the wind and rain from getting in
*CLICK*
The door was closed shut
Because of how wet he was and was still dripping on the floor Janice's husband didn't want to step further and since the place he was standing had already been wet because of the rain that got in when the door was opened by the elderly man with a limp first and now him there was no harm done with him waiting there
"Over there" The elderly man with a limp pointed to a spot beside the door and to Janice's husband's right side showing him a towel he could use to dry himself off and although some part of it had gotten wet because of the rain it was still mostly dry enough to do the job
<"Sigh... Of course, I knew it just had to go this route" mumbled the elderly man with a limp to himself as he dropped his head in defeat and began to shake it"WHAT!!!" Janice yelled at Jaxon then pulled her hand free from his hold "What are you even saying, we can't take care of our own babies?!" she scrunched her eyebrows with a disgusted look boldly pasted on her countenance"Yes! That's what I'm saying and if you really think about it you'll know I'm right" he insisted"Right? How? What makes you think we can't take care of the kids I carried in me for ten whole months... TEN... I had to carry them in me for an extra month and you think I'm just going to sit here and listen to you say something like that to me? You must have gone mad from being in the rain for all this time you were out" she frowned"Come to think of it was that why you were out for so long? Trying to come up with a way you wer
"Yes, but what if there was another way to make sure and to know that our kids get to go to a good family but at the same time we get something to help give us a steady place to land our feet at least for the time being while we work to make things better for our next kids" Jaxon placed his left hand on hers on the bedAfter he finished speaking she slowly pulled her hand from under his on the bed with a shocked and irritated look "Are you talking about selling our children to a complete stranger?""Listen Janice, foster care, selling them to another family who can take good care of them or staying with us as we all starve to death which do you think is a better option for two newly born boys? We know from experience that the last option is a terrible one and foster care has its downsides more than the ups but the second option is entirely different... Look..." he said then held on to the hand she just pulled away again
The aged gentleman walked over to his associate the young man who was currently holding his umbrella"That's going to be impossible Janice, I've already used the money to buy tickets to go somewhere else and also rented a little apartment there so that we can at least have a roof over our heads as we try to start again... We can't go back on the agreement now, I'm sorry" Jaxon said before he stood up and walked over to the cradle where he picked up Janisis and was taking him to the aged gentleman some feet away*BAM*"What are you doing? Stop this Jaxon, please!!!" Janice forced her body to the edge of the bed which she fell off from as she crawled until she managed to grab a hold of Jaxon's trouser stopping him "Please don't do this, I'm begging you" she pleaded with tears covering her eyes and shaky voice also being too weak to hold on to his trouser for longShe then turned to the elderly man wi
"Silencer? Hearing problems? What are you talking about Sir?" Jaxon grimaced as he tried standing up and walking over to them"If only you had just taken the money like originally planned we wouldn't have to waste such an important asset although still a U S scum" the aged gentleman said then took his eyes to the elderly man with a limp on the bed which meant that he was the asset they were talking about"Asset? What are you talking about Sir?" Jaxon looked over to the elderly man now behind him because he had managed to stand up and was about taking a step forward when he remembered that it was the aged gentleman who told him where to find the elderly man with a limp as they were talking about selling and buying the twinsIt also turns out that it was the aged gentleman that was responsible for sending people to the elderly man with a limp for medical assistance so that their birth would not be in the system at le
The vehicle the aged gentleman with his younger associate got into along side Janisis and Damion was a black mini limousine with the younger associate first dropping Damion in the back with the aged gentleman and Janisis before going to the front and driving the vehicleOnce he closed the driver seat door he reach to the passenger seat and picked up a chauffeur hat on it then wore it until it was a good fit before taking off his coat and dropping it on that same seat when then ignited the engine and zoomed off down the mountain joining the major roadThey drove from one road to the next and entering a series of tunnels until they left the cities droving towards the desert lands heading straight for the Lighten GateStill having a couple kilometers ahead of them before they make it to the Gate and about one kilometer before they reach the U S territory checkpoint the younger associate who was driving mad
Behind the closed door of a certain hidden Soviet facility a meeting was on its final leg with a very important topic being discussed that would change and bring forth a new means of operations which hasn't happened for a long time"Oh, not this again" said one of the officials seated in the group of twelve men and women behind a round table whike many others frowned in agreement and contempt to match"I don't know, I was interested in what he had to say the last time he brought up this topic so why don't we just give him the approval like he wants... If it doesn't turn out as expected we can just scrap the entire idea and those involved, I mean it wouldn't be the first time" replied the lady with slitted eyes and we'll pronounced cheekbones directly opposite the first man"And if I remember corre
The meeting went on for another twenty minutes with some concerns and off-putting comments being sent back and forth but at the end of everything and allowing the fate of the Mirror Initiative to go into a vote the result come out seven votes to five for it's approvalIt was a close call and the deciding vote which was the seventh was thanks to Conroy who just wanted to see the project approved not because he believed in it but because he felt like it was going to fail and wanted to laugh at Franklin's face when it doesEveryone including the man knew that this was Conroy's real intention but that didn't change the fact that the initiative had been approved and preparations would be put in place with quick effect and because Franklin Crow had actually been formulating this plan for a while now he had already reached some stages up in the preparations
"She sounds like a very strong woman, your wife I mean" A voice spoke from behind Roe taking him by surprise and prompting him to turn around when he locked eyes with the manager and supervisor of the moving company"Oh, of course she is, after all I prefer my women strong and reliable but between the two of us I kind of think I got married to a man if you know what I mean" Roe joked"!!" There was sudden silence in the room before all the others present and moving furnitures burst into laughter "Hahaha!!""What's so funny? What are you guys laughing about?" standing behind everyone Roe Boyle's wife Reyleen while holding their baby boy asked taking everyone by surprise and filled with guilt as they were laughing at what Roe had said about her but as a jokeLatest Chapter I just want to say a big THANK YOU to every single reader that was able to get this far. Thanks for picking up this story and continuing with it even when the writing wasn't as good at the beginning and when the plot was feeling flat because I wasn't in a good head space or had enough free time to write what I wanted. Thank you for helping me grow as an author and tell my story and get your thoughts on it through the comments. Thank you for following me to the end of this journey. It's been almost two years since I started and finally the story comes to an end (or does it?) If you noticed I was kind of making things up as I went along which is why there are a few plot holes and things I forgot I had written before that didn't tie in well with the continuity of the story. This is my first ever book so a few mistakes are to be expected but regardless I apologise for them. I wanted to use this medium to both declare my appreciation for you guys as well as to pas I had called my handler to meet me by a nearby coffee shop and by the time I got there he was already seated, waiting for me. Normally I avoid contact with him because it's always him hounding me about something but this was the first time in a long time that I was the one doing the reaching out."Sorry to keep you waiting Nick" I shook his hand then sat down."No problem, so, what is the purpose of this unexpected meeting""I want you to tell me everything about the Arc Agents and what the GHA's real objective is" I didn't waste anytime to ask the real questions.Nick was shocked by the bluntness of my question then tried to deny everything I asked and said in that meeting, gaslighting me most of the time and so it ended up with me not getting any worthwhile information out of him. The meeting took place before I had to go for work so without getting anywhere we ended it and I went to work but I knew that my questions wouldn't stay with Nick but wo "Please make it in time""If I do this then maybe it'll make up for the fact that all of this happened because I jumped back""Please make it in time"I was currently stuck in a hellish nightmare which was entirely guilt driven. Every action and consequences of said action replayed in my head, panicking, unable to find peace until I woke up with a *GASP*After forcefully waking up, I reached for something with my hand only for that to be the ceiling of someplace I couldn't recognize or knew how I got there. I would pant, trying to catch my breath when all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my chest.My teeth gritted and eyes squinting in pain, I reached for the source of this excruciating pain which was when I noticed the medical equipments I was hooked to and that I was on a hospital bed."This is familiar" I said internally after thinking of how it reminded me of waking up in a hospital as my host, the last time I jumped into the pas Mirajh jumped off from the top of the drone and they walked up to the others and because Mirajh was there, Talon quickly relinquished his temporarily given authority in favour of hers."Mirajh and Malkome, you guys made it. So what's going on?" Talon asked."It's over, all our forces have been killed and from the looks of it, we are the only ones left so the question now should be, what should we do next?"Once she said that all their forces had been killed, there was a unanimous dropping of jaws and none of them expected that it could have gotten this bad. They had completely underestimated the Arc Agents and the trainees. The GHA weren't even able to send their Forces Units to assist but the trainees alone along with help from the Arc Agents were able to decimate their entire forces."What about General Icon, does any of you know his whereabouts? If we can verify his status then we might be able to come up with a plan" Talon asked but seeing the look on Levy who was close by and saw when Akarli was taking aim jumped in front of Boyo, trying to shield him with her body while I was beside the both of them, noticing too late until the shot had been fired.Jeremiah who the shot pulled back to his senses and he saw who she was firing at, the care he had for his best friend even though he didn't want to admit it made him lose it and reflexively he fired multiple shots at Akarli too, killing her on the spot next to Icon.All of this would happen in an instant but for some reason, because I didn't want any of my friends to be shot so badly that I dont know what happened but just like when that strange phenomenon happened back at the court during our escape and I managed to find where Boyo was because of it, it happened all over again.Suddenly everything began to slow down and the surrounding got pitch black with the only thing being as visible as day time were those in there with an angered Akarli holding on to the gu Once we were brought to the back, my eyes went to the elderly looking man sitting on a metallic chair with a caramel skin coloured lady by his right hand side. In front of them I saw two more individuals who weren't turned to us at the time we entered. One of them I couldn't tell their identity from their stature but the other I knew perfectly well who it was. "Char!" Before I could get the word out Levy called out to Boyo who once the both of them turned we saw an annoyed look on his face and it was clear by that look that he didn't want us to be there. The Upriser behind us pushed the both of us, telling Levy and I to keep on walking which we did until we walked up to where Boyo and the others were. "Nice to meet you, the both of you" Icon greeted us with a gentle smile which was obvious that he was hiding something from everyone, including those who were supposed to be his comrades in there. There was still something he failed to expose. "!!" Levy ""A journal?!"" Both Boyo and Jeremiah exclaimed."Yes... SIGH... A very long time ago, way before our formerly great nation was completely destroyed, former General Franklin Crow brought a younger me to one of his expeditions but this want just any regular expedition. It all started with him unintentionally finding the Philosophers Stone which brought about the rebirth and Emergence of our greatest soldier Anthony Wonne on one of his trips into the United States territory, allowing us to tap into a power that was only secret to our enemies. At that time and I had just been born so my father was the one who spearheaded the position I would later get when I was old enough so none of them knew that that small piece of attractive stone had such power hidden within it until years later, moments before the fall of the Old Soviet Alliance territory"Icon spoke with vivid words so that they would be carried along to where he was heading to."Being a curious man and thi "Holy shit, what's that up there?" I couldn't help but exclaim while I and Levy tried our best to sneak into the slaughter house. We were moving very carefully, trying not to make any noise when my eyes just went up to the sky and I saw some strange looking patterns being created. "Shush Samuels, do you want to get us caught?" Levy reprimanded me with a low tone of voice but when she turned around to face me and do that she saw the awe stricken expression I had and my gaze up to the sky and she too followed. "What are you looking at?" she had her eyebrows scrunched. The moment she asked that question, my eyes flicked to her and I saw that she too was looking up to the sky but instantly realised the fact that she most definitely wasn't seeing what I was seeing. 'Don't tell me that I'm really the only one who sees that thing? No, that must be it because with her keen senses she would have noticed it even before I did if she could see it. Am I perh Because the GIGANTA MACHINA worked like one big system, when the center of it was torn apart and the Stealth Drones that made up that part being completely destroyed the rest separated and returned to being Drones but because of what happened to the fused system the Stealth device they had was damaged and the separated drones were no longer able to go invisible.They all flew in different paths, dividing into those wanting to attack the trainees and those wanting to attack Michael but Michael acted quickly and changed where the outlet of the explosion was and used that to sweep the drones coming for him until all the explosion energy had been exhausted. From that point he attacked every single drone in the air with his BLACK FORCE-FIELD BLADE, not giving any the chance to attack the trainees but that meant that he had a lot to take care of on his own.With all their Force-fields no longer a viable option for defense and all the trainees they had to go against reaTHE RIFT BETWEEN
