"And it certainly won't be the last."

They glared at Fred and he clamped up.

"So you've worked with Reagan before and you were okay with this." He was beginning to have one hell of a rude awakening.

"Rigan. Hard to get by when you're a convict." She said while the paramedic took out a metal plate from her back with a skeptical look on his face.

"You owe me." Fred said pointing at her.

"Until I got shot."

"I'm just glad that you're not going back to your old life of crime."

"What made you think that?" Emily said smiling.

He looked wild at that while the staff reeled her into another ambulance.

"Please don't tell your father, pretend this never happened and go home."

"I'll come...visit."

He drove home and he set the window wipers in motion at the wind blowing sand his way. He waited through traffic and parked, he gazed at Doreen contendi

    The wind blew and blew until six p.m. and people with sandy blight in their eyes jumped with relief, as soon as the wind stopped. The wheezing of trumpets died down as the band retired. Spectators made their way to the tallest building. The sand rolled as the wind picked up again. [ Anomaly Detected ] He watched the long line of people eager to have a closer look from the top of the building. The sky was dimming. His system was chiming, he had to keep a lookout. There was a vessel anchored on the still waters, the captain listened to his lieutenant talking about some techie named Francis Flair. He stared grimly at the man in his early teens. "You're kidding." He said in a baritone voice at the young man. Francis beamed at him, he always liked it when they stared. "We have a sufficient batch of gunpowder and an automatically set timer. The flames will go off. The viewers will be impressed with my new and improved pyro technology, compared to the blustering fiasco on the Ch

    The sand engulfed him, densed around him and dragged him out the mess hall, he fell face flat and looked up at the fallen men, others groaning at sand blights in their eyes. Granula gazed at him. She grunted and cocked her head to the firework devices. "Disarm." She said in a gravely voice. Francis Flair swallowed pulling back when she made herself look big. Her features changed even when he tried to focus and make out something out of her.Her order resounded. "I can't! It's set to blow up in...two minutes." She growled and extended her arms to shoot him off the boat. There were twenty devices and they were very dense. He landed on the boat with the head of an eagle, body of a lion. The Chimera Program's upgraded package. He dumped Francis who looked scared to death on the deck paddling away from him. Apparently all the Nian Shou were missing in action, they thought that he was one of their own. Telling by his qi energy, she could see through his tricks.Granula shot sand at him

    "What?" She didn't know whether to feel relieved or to get angry when they laughed. "You're letting me go?"He took off his police cap. "Of course not, anyone who sets up sound equipment that efficiently deserves a place on Cadence. And you're delightful." Ben winked. Victor looked perplexed. "What?" "Stone, you'll get in trouble with the media if you don't cop on." "I'm sorry, Mark, that was just too good.""Cadence?" Artemis said. "So you're just a couple of low lives with no principles and nothing better to do?" Artemis braced her hands on her hips. "Whoa there. It's a gimmick." Ben said."We're trying to sell It." The third guy chimed in."On Independence Day." Mark added."Sell it? Gimmick?" Irma said re-registering their words. She brushed her eyes. "We apologize for our misdemeanour. We'd like to make you an offer to be our cover girl. You know for marketing and stuff?" "No pressure." The brown-haired guy passed her a flyer. "We'll leave you with our contacts. We'll be t

    He wasted no time building up a fireball in his hands. "You're burning and I'm about to put your lights out." Maks felt the flames singe his eyebrows and crouched. "That doesn't even make any sense." He said hanging on a light pole. Heat rose from the ground as Igneous powered up and he aimed ember attacks on them. The fire spread to the library and anything flammable. He breathed harshly when it swallowed up oxygen. Irma coughed lurching through the flames. Igneous was trying to hedge them in. "I don't suppose you have a plan before he cremates us." She said running while he hovered with a raven's body and his human head intact. "Gee Irma, how am I supposed to stop what I can't touch!?" He said mildly and ducked the fireballs. "I feel like you're rubbing it in." He flapped his burning feathers off and dropped to the ground running. His skill reversed and he had a raven's head and his human body. His arms were red like severe rashes. His eyes were calculating, the fire was s

    Mister Gunderson glanced at him and he fooled around reading posters and walked past him. "Morning sir.""It's afternoon." He said. "It was a military greeting but good to know." He retorted and pursed his lips leaving."Anderson." Mister Gunderson watched the bee beelining toward him and onwards. "I'd be careful if I were you."...He hobbled along after that, it was his last shift for the week. The sun was setting and gardeners worked on the shrub hedges, cutting out the flowers and one of the staff stopped a kid from snatching apples from a tree. He stretched after a hard day's work, staring at the remainder of bees stalking, he took slow deep breaths, Mister Gunderson was acting a little stranger than he was before. Drifting past them, he glanced up at the sky and saw a thick black smog moving in one specific direction, which was toward him. He took cover and his system closed in on them, calculating.

    Maks zipped out and picked up running. They mimicked his speed running too, he overlooked how creepy it was to be fighting himself and he nudged them off his side counting, enraged that he was getting multi-maimed, the road stretched out in front of him, he didn't have to outrun them.[...19...20...21...] If he was able to make the clones burn out then he just might slow them down before they could do any more damage. He got a sense of his environment, he reached a sunny boulevard of trees, blue sky and clean apartment buildings with brick red bases, he braced himself before 23 and he leapt up to a tree. The copies slid past him uncontrollably surpassing 23 seconds and they died of exhaustion. He stayed aloft with a raven's aura on him. He held on to a branch. The flight of the raven felt more like antigrav than flight, he had no wings but all the same, he turned himself over and latched on to a thick branch and pulled himself down, he touched his shoulder, huffing and watched them

    And the oppressive sun. The trees wafted the hot breeze. There were no promises of fall this August."Nothing as bad as you in Bermuda shorts." Victor snorted and rolled his eyes grinning."I'm going to go change." He said and trudged to one of the large stalls and disappeared. He bit his lip. "Me too." He said grinning. The adults were keeping company with the kids in the paramecium pool. Victor shoved a tuft of sand. The grass looked scanty and dry. Teen slid on a mat covered in oil and they tried to beat each other's speed record. He cleared while one sailed into a tree groaning. He wondered where Maks went. He stayed by a pine tree with a fibrous rope around it and sloped."Boo!" He appeared with his human face, the body of a squirrel and cute antlers.Victor fell over and his expression dulled while he chuckled. "Too much?" He said. Victor sighed. "Nice try, but I refuse to be terrorized by one wittle creature." He gave him one affectionate chuck under the chin. "Touch me l

    Polymorph touched his face and ran over to the distance he split up ten times over. Each with elemental and sub-elemental powers. He wouldn't get lazy. "I need more." Reyna, their leader with firepower bounded in shooting projectiles at them. He escaped and she rushed over to where Streak lay. Her eye watered at the bloodstain on her stomach. "Why does this always happen to me?" She said in a strained voice.Her chest heaved. "You're a soldier, it's what you signed up for...Artemis, don't do anything rash."Her lips thinned. "They're gonna get to P.A.S.S. Who knows how many people he's cloned.""We'll figure this out." The other lookalike Huli jing, the youngest in the group lurched after him, drawing water. They made simultaneous hand motions and the waves swerved and caught them in a sphere. Polymorph struggled in the current. The first clenched her fists and the water toughened up like cement. "Any time now." She said to the second who lifted them off the ground. He grew gills

    He shuddered. Those men didn't deserve to live, he clutched his pillow. The day after that was the time he started to realize that he could see dead people. These people were crooks, they sold him to a factory disguised as an orphanage home. Teagan's breathing was heavy at the women asking for his name. He had a hard time communicating, he didn't want to. They shaped him up by beating him. The worst he had was being covered with a sack if he mishbehaved and the tap running over his face until he gave in. He always had a hard time following routines. He lived with an abusive foster father named Randall Barton, his wife Alice and their adopted children, he trusted him to his word. He took care of him gradually until he started to get violent. He even employed the children to beat him up. He asked what was the point of adopting him. Unfortunately all he was good for was being a punching bag. The only good thing he learned was English. His imaginary friends translated and taught him to s

    Teagan looked anxious, he slouched walking through the gates. The workers grimaced at him and BlackJack picked up speed. He ran to the house and he paled when he met Ares. "Where have you been!?" Keisha said."I just went for a walk." Teagan said twirling his hand on his leash."I know you went to...You're not allowed to step outside. Running away was completely stupid." Keisha said aware now and he blushed at Harley. "Yeah, I know, I just needed some fresh air. I'm alive aren't I?" He barked defensively. He was acting weird. He bloomed walking away faster. He couldn't handle criticism. He marched upstairs and the room was as dirty as it was before. He was repulsed. "You didn't clean yet?" He said to Keisha who relaxed on the couch.She dropped her magazine. "I'm sorry I said all those mean things about you.""We're cool. Just as long as long as you don't keep any weapons. No more pranks, not more antics." She said. "Clean this up.""Where are all the ghost workers?""They're on a

    "Not that one, Chief. I was born in Nigeria, West Africa. The Igbos, a major ethnic group currently were looking for independence to become The Biafrans after the British colonialists united the tripod stands of the country, the east, north and the western region.The colonizers left eventually after the independence in 1960. There was a blockade and My father Festus Ebube Okoye who identified as a Biafran and my mother Catherine Nneoma Okoye starved along with the rest of our people. He was passionate about seperating from Nigeria. The Biafrans lost the war against the Nigerians ultimately and there was no secession. My father was wounded inside and out. We had to move here to save our hides. My father had a score with Ares to settle. They worked together in the past. He owed him his life and he wanted some kind of reward for aiding him."So Ares supports this kinds of stuff?""Yeah. He wanted him to "give him what rightfully belonged to him". His loyalty.

    "N_no no, I'll show you." Teagan tossed BlackJack's dented log at the glass doubledoors and it shattered to pieces.Irma's jaw dropped. "You broke it, is something wrong with you?" She glanced at a broom by the door perking up and moving in a sweeping motion to gather up the glass. Irma glanced at Teagan who looked shocked. His expression changed. "See?""As dumb as that demonstration was, it's brilliant.""Really?...I mean yes. I'm more genius than any of you give me credit for." He gazed at his fingernails."You can hear them.""Yes." He said smiling proudly. "Okay then, what's he saying?" She asked and he blushed. Maybe she thought the ghost standing there was just a coincidence.Irma winced at the inappropriate words. "@#$¥ *&?@@@####. Why are you helping you f#cking bitch?""Okay, that's enough." She said alarmed. "It's a kid named Oscar...he's 19.

    Over the days, Teagan moved around the house, he cursed at the workers and vandalized things, Ares didn't show the slightest interest or whether to kick him out. He was perplexed. Harley, Irma and Keisha were in their final year and they were going to college. And parties. He was left home alone with BlackJack whom he was afraid of. BlackJack was trying to approach him and he ducked throwing pillows at him.BlackJack grabbed a pillow chasing after him. He ran away past the halls and cried out when BlackJack placed his paw on his chest. "Stop." Ares said to him and he vanished. Teagan gazed at him through glassy eyes. Ares vanished too.... Ares was not even giving Irma a hard time as Keisha claimed to. He didn't trust her to her words anyway. He taught her to kick box and she was getting tired of doing the same moves all the time. She meandered around a sandbag punching and kicking.Teagan watched them from a boulder with binoculars as she lunged backwards.Irma tried the s

    Teagan was afraid that she would shred them to pieces. Worst of all, Ares was coming home to meet him. He didn't like the looks of him. His aura made him feel things and see things he didn't want to see, yet he was easily drawn to the past, he relived it everyday in his head. That was why he wanted to stay as far away from Ares as possible.He lived with assassins too. Irma arrived with Harley in the house of Ares. Irma ducked at the box drifting over her head. "What are those?""Ghost workers, they agreed to work for Ares in death." "Until after death you mean?""They won't be leaving anytime soon, they can keep working for him if they want.""Oh my god. What if some of them try to kill him or you?""They won't. They have a contract." Harley said.Irma shook her head as they explored the house. "So this is where you live?" "Yes and No, I live with my dad, Eric. I just come here for visits.""So how is he?"Harley turned sad, he suffered 10 years of tragedy but the tragedy wasn't

    "Will you come lie next to me?" He said.He groaned she laid back too hard. "Scooch." She could hear the fluids in his lungs while he was breathing. The place was so quiet. She would rather be anywhere else talking to a person than being her with her thoughts, but he was sick."I can feel the gurgling too, that's disgusting and don't even try to kiss me with that virus." She was content.He was feeling feverish and tried to make conversation. "My head hurts...""Mmm.""I'm sure letting you stay in bed with me is probably against hospital policy.""You're such a bad boy." She said sarcastically.They were together now and she did not want to infringe on their pact. "Can I use my phone?""That's fine, it gets boring in the hospital anyway." He said fatigued and he had a sense of Deja vu. "Please don't take pictures of me like this, I look sick."She typed. "It's fine. I just need it for my secret album. What do you think about #Marley?" She flooded the space with many heart emojis."Tha

    "You need to stop playing games.""Really, you wanna talk game? You were trying to make me jealous with Irma." His eyebrows rose. "I wasn't.""What was that look. Really? When we were at that night club, you were staring at her. Like really staring."Irma exhaled. "Oh my god, you guys." She muttered rolling her eyes. "Yeah because we had a duet. I was nervous and I tend to look at people dead in the eye when that happens_Maybe I was jealous when you started feeding Dom orange slices.""Only because he was making rude advances. I had to protect myself.""You left me on the street after date night.""Yeah, you were having car trouble and I was trying to be friendly and to save money." She whispered. "You could have just said you were angry instead of shutting me out.""Oh." He said, he was unreasonable when it came to love and the reason why he strangely felt short was because she was still on heels.

"She's been spending all my money on this useless son of a bitch." He yelled at Harley. "You won't even let me touch you!"Harley's eyes glistened at the name-calling.
