"Is he looking at you?" Rhonda asked.Elijah didn't respond, instead, he waited to see what would happen next. The gang leader held his gun to the ceiling, causing a surge of apprehension from the panicking customers. "Listen everyone. I'll count to ten. By the tenth count, I want everyone out. Okay?" He smiled again and said without looking. "Except you of course."Elijah knew he was referring to him. He also knew things were bound to get messy soon. With one eye carefully placed on a shuddering Rhonda, and the other on the mad men, he waited.*One!Scrambling feet echoed around the room, as everyone present jumped to their feet. *Two!Scrapping tables, and chairs, as they tussled to flee from the scene. It would be an amusing sight to see if it wasn't for the circumstance. Considering the fact the people who visited restaurants like these the most were the rich. *Three!"Should we leave?" Rhonda grabbed Elijah's hands, wondering why he wasn't making any attempt to leave.

The shock was fleeting at best, as he regained his composure almost immediately. "Rhonda?" He called over his shoulders.She grabbed her purse and hurried towards him. "Let's go." She linked her hands in his, as they walked away.When they were safely outside, he gently pulled her hands away from his and turned to face her. "Are you okay?" She forced a smile but gave up when she realized there was no point. "A bit shaky, but I'll live. Are you okay though? You were the one they came for.""It's nothing.""Elijah," Her hands touched his. His eyes came down to the spot she held. "I know I'm not in a position to question anything in your life anymore. I just don't want you to feel like you're alone.""Everything's fine Rhonda. You should get back home to your mother and sister.""My sister is not home. My mum left for some meeting she's been raving about. It's called the exclusive meeting. Weird right?" She said, letting her hand drop."I would take you home, but I have somethi

"Is there anything to eat in this house?" Snow ran around, as Elijah tried to catch him."No there isn't. Wait," He paused. "Why am I even talking to a dog?" He shook his head, to clear off the disillusion. "No wonder those men said it was a pointless adventure attacking you.""What!" He turned around to see snow staring at him."Yeah, those guys." Snow wagged his tail.Elijah deeply inhaled. This was really happening. He was actually talking to a dog. "What guys?""Food first, then I'll tell you.""No way you're bargaining in my own house."Snow fluffed his hair, and he was a pretty hairy dog. Elijah guessed that was his idea of a shrug. If he wasn't so confused, he may have managed a half smile."Fine. I should have something in the fridge. You better hope the guy who copped this place for me, was intuitive enough to bring some food too.""He did." Snow said, walking behind Elijah."And how do you know about that?" "I saw him."Elijah gave him a quick side glance. "Ar

Elijah got out of the shower and grabbed a towel. Wrapping it around him, he dashed into the room. He went straight for the drawer he had emptied the contents of the duffle bag in. The journal was the first thing he saw when he opened it. Grabbing it, he went back to the bed, and quickly opened it. He began to flip through the pages, frantically searching for anything related to the exclusives. He was starting to think his memories had played a trick on him because he could have sworn he had seen that name before. But he got to the middle page of the journal, and there it was staring back at him. A single entry which read: "They came again, the exclusives. Saying they'd give me whatever backing I needed for Crawford Laboratory to become untouchable in Quantum City. Once again, I turned them down."That was it. The end. There was no other mention of it in the journal. His brain began to work overtime. While his father had been careful with the things he said around him, his mother n

The passage into the meeting room was always dimly lit, and dull. However, upon entering the room itself, it overflowed with light from different sources. The mahogany walls were filled with paintings of different monuments of the city and a big map of the biggest and most important buildings of Quantum City. Just beside it, and at the center of the wall was a big antique clock. The center of the room itself was a big table filled with different kinds of books and documents. Around the room were golden-coated couches filled with the fluffiest pillows. At both ends of the room stood library-like bookshelves that held more books. The contrast between the modern lighting, and ancient interior design added to the mysterious appeal of the hidden room. Built with thick walls to trap every sound, it was the most secure building in the entirety of Quantum City. It was in this same room the elites of the City gathered tonight after three whole years to discuss a pressing issue. While t

"What do you mean if all the Crawfords were eliminated?" Tiana for the first time spoke, panic in her voice.They all turned to her, realizing Kingston was not only the first-timer there. With the way he had behaved earlier, one would think he was a regular member."Tiana Anderson. I almost forgot you were invited." Nathan said, stroking his beard.She ignored him, focusing all her attention on Dr Hill. "Did you kill the Crawfords?" She asked."Didn't your father tell you about the inner workings of the City before he died?" Dr Hill returned."I got to know about this gathering on his deathbed. When I got a text from you about a meeting tonight, I didn't quite know what to expect.""Did he give you a journal?" Colin asked."Yes, he did.""Great. When you get home, you do well to read through it. Frankly, we don't have the time to fill you in from the top." Dr Hill said, his voice marked with irritation."My father told me everything I need to know. No need to fill me in." Kin

It was well into the morning of the next day when the rays of light struggling through the blinds began to rest on his face, Elijah's eyes stirred open. He blinked twice, staring directly at the ceiling. It took him a few seconds for his brain to reboot. When it did, the events of the previous day began settling in. " Today's a new day Elijah." He yawned, getting out of bed.He grabbed his phone to check for the time. His eyes squinted when it came to rest on what would be considered disastrously late by his standards. The fact he had slept that long, and that well in the first place was very suspicious. On reflex, his hands touched his face. They didn't hurt anymore. He looked into his phone screen to see how they looked, but he could barely see his face. The moment turned around to check the mirror, his eyes landed on something dark, shiny, and extremely fluffy staring into his eyes with the most golden brown eyes. "What the hell?" He shuddered, swaying a bit."Hi." Snow waved

"How do you do it?" Tobias suddenly asked, drawing his attention away from her face."Do what?" He asked."Not get angry."Elijah scoffed. "Who said I don't?""But you always manage to keep your composure. How?"He understood where Tobias was coming from but last night alone had put this subject to be. He had been angry alright. So mad he almost turned his car back just to make certain he finished off the three guys that attacked him. Especially the guy that managed a punch in. But anger was the most pointless emotion to act on. It only ever ended up complicating things. "I guess being a god comes with it's perks." He joked instead.Tobias laughed. "A god who runs away from his powers. Quote the one."Elijah chuckled. "Okay, your turn now.""My turn?" His brow furrowed. "For what?""Why did you stay?""Why did I stay?" He repeated over again, until it finally clicked. "Oh you mean why I came back to find you?" "Yeah. You were almost caught in the fire to. Your loyalty to
