Chapter 5, The Blessed.

TECHON Labs, Third floor.

Hurried footsteps of men echoed through the stairway, Mr George and he’s crew finally made it to the point of the commotion, but when they arrived all they met was a bunch of men laying dead on the stairway.

Majority of them had similar injuries, a slit throat or jabbed stomach or neck, it was clear that they were killed by the same person.

“What do we do sir?”.One of the guards next to Mr George asked.

Mr George puffed in rage, he’s face looked like that of a dying pig, he suddenly pulled out a pistol and shot the guard that questioned him.

“What do you do?, here’s what you’re gonna do, find the bastard that did this and get my blessed gems back”.

There was a short moment of silence before the men rushed out in different directions and started searching for the unknown enemy.

It was at that moment Mr George’s walkie talkie received a call, which he immediately picked up hoping a useful guard actually existed in the building.

“Mr George, the intruder is a female scientist with the name Lisa knight, we checked the group and apparently she haven’t been with the group for a while now... Mr George, Mr George you there”.

Of course Mr George was still on the phone, but he was too busy grimacing by the fact that it was that annoying girl.

The deadly smirk on Mr George’s face sent shivers down the spine of the guard next to him.

“Send the word around, tell them I want the bitch alive”.

Suddenly the abrupt sounds of sirens began to ring through out the building, A call quickly came to Mr George’s private phone before he could be shocked.

“What is it?”.Me George yelled out immediately after answering the all.

“It’s the girl sir, she’s- she’s running out through front door”.

Mr George didn’t waste anytime at all and began to run back where he came, he raised up the walkie talkie and contacted the guards scattered across the building telling them all to meet up at the front door.

Several seconds later Mr George scaled down from the stairs but when he came to the last floor everything was peaceful, there was no escaping thief and all the workers seemed calm.

“What’s going on?.”

...

Meanwhile, Lisa bursted through the back door of the building with a calm smirk on her face.

“Well that was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be, nice going wacky, didn’t think turning on the highest grade security system and showing them a video clip of me would work in my favour”.

[Sometimes it’s simply a matter of using your opponents sword against them, nothing fancy there] jacky said while imitating the voice of a thousand year old immortal cultivator.

Lisa chuckled lightly, Jacky had always been a peculiar ally of hers.

“Hey stop”.

Lisa jerked, the sudden voice of the guards startled her into quick motion, she didn’t even look back and just dashed into the closets alleyway.

[They just wouldn’t let me enjoy my moment, wouldn’t they]

“You can brag about how awesome you are after we’re out of this mess”.

[Alright fine, run to the hideout I prepared, you can use the ride I got before hand to get away, Hey- Hey watch out]

The sound of two bodies crashing into each other rang out at the end of the alleyway.

...

Liam’s eyes slowly opened, he felt twice the weight gravity had on him, but the figure currently resting on him felt soft to the touch so he strangely didn’t feel bad about it.

“Hey, are alright?”. Liam asked the blonde girl that crashed into him while supporting himself with he’s hands.

A vein popped out on Lisa’s forehead, she shot up and shot daggers at Liam.

“Are you blind or something, can’t you see am walking here”.

Liam immediately shriveled up but still had it in him to reply. “Well, you weren’t exactly walking and I- I, I’m sorry”.

Lisa’s eyes went cold, “Do you wanna die kid, course if that’s”.

“Get back here”.

The guards chasing Lisa yelled out, due to the shot delay with Liam they began to catch up to her even though she had a head-start when the chase began.

Lisa hissed in annoyance and said, “ lucky brat”, before bolting across the road, barely seconds later the guards came pass Liam but completely ignored him as he was irrelevant to them.

It took several seconds for Liam to finish digesting what happened, “Why is she so rude?”. Liam silently thought, but that was the least of he’s issues as in his hand an object sat quietly.

It was a gem, a crimson blood colored gem that seemed to have crimson clouds moving within the interior, it wasn’t just that, if someone actually took their time to look into this blessed gem then they’ll astonishingly discover a tiny person sleeping inside.

“She forgot her rock”. Liam said to himself.

Liam didn’t know who the strange lady was nor why the men in black were chasing her, but one thing for sure was that they wanted what ever this thing was and Liam had an idea as to what it might be.

These things appeared several years back when he was on a private beach with he’s sister, it appeared only for a moment, seeming like an object exploding by earths atmosphere and the shards poured into the planet, but strangely enough the bright red shards vanished just as fast as the crimson explosion.

The government tried everything they can to figure out what it was but still no known results have been stated yet, but the only one lead the people of earth had was the fact that people have been awakening strange and unique abilities, these individuals made a lot of waves before they also seemed to have gone underground or just hiding amongst the masses with the only thing left behind as a clue being what they called themselves, The blessed.
