"Yeah I know about that. But we do not have to lie. We just have to tell him the truth, I mean what if he finds out? I can't see any reason why he's going to trust us after that." Perry said.

"Trust? What do I care about that? Come on enter school continue our game." Peter muttered.

When Ethan and Isabel got home, they sat on the couch in the living room in silence for half an hour until Ethan noticed tears rolling down her eyes.

"Hey, is everything all right what are you thinking about?" He asked with a caring tone as he drew closer to her.

Isabel sniffles and said with a calm but moody tone, "I don't always going to die today. I never believe time could make it out alive."

"Yeah, I know. But then you did made it out alive. You did it, you were courageous and the strongest woman I've ever seen." Ethan said feeling proud of her but no words of his at the moment could impress her.

"No I was not courageous and neither am I the strongest woman, Ethan. I was lucky. I was so lucky tha

    "It is not that I am talking about her always or trying to bring this up for emphasis purposes but then you and I know that you miss her a lot. Send that is why I talk about her a lot to remind you that the reason why you are admiring me is because you want to be with you a girlfriend and you miss a lot." "O c'mon Isabel. I know I miss her no doubt, but that is not the reason why I keep admiring you. You have to quit thinking this way." Ethan muttered. "Why should I? And how can I stop thinking this way? You know either way one of us is going to be jealous and that is a real fact here because you do not expect to admire two girls at the same time and not get one hurt." Isabel whined. The moment she said that, he knew she was jealous and unhappy that he has a girlfriend. Her reaction confirms to him what the resurgent system had said and no doubts he has to start thinking on what to do to manage the damage he has already caused by showing Isabel some level of affection that could not

    "Look here, Ethan, simply because you made it out of that arena does not give you the right to start breaking ranks or rebelling against authority. Besides you have the interest of the people at heart. You should start now to think of how to run politics. If you are loyal to Chris Woodley, don't you think that the people are going to also be loyal to you? You should be smart enough to think." She rumbled feeling pissed by the things he said. When she noticed he had nothing to say and was thinking about what she had just spilled out of her mouth to reconfigure his way of thinking, she knocked on the door and waited for response. "Y-you..." Ethan stuttered and was going to say something but the door opened interrupting him."Look who we have here! Come on in, you two." Dr. Muppet Puppet said the moment he opened the door and had his eyes on them. Isabel immediately ignored Ethan and walked in. Ethan gasped and looked at Dr. Muppet Puppet saying,"Thank you for letting us in. And we are

    "By placing a bounty on your head, stupid!" Dr. Muppet exclaimed with a husky tone of voice. "Wait a minute I don't quite understand what you're talking about can you please explain to me how that is going to be possible. I am clearly not going to run away from DC United am I?" Ethan asked hastily. Dr Muppet gasped and turned to look at him after slowly drawing out a book from a shelf by his side, "the bounty I am talking about is not like they are going to go all out to capture you. Of course you're not running away from DC United, but you sure are going to prove stubborn to try to run away from being a participant. Just put on some rebellious attitude when next you are called to participate. I have absolute certainty that they are going to enlist you to be among the people who are going to participate next time, so when they do, you are going to rebel against them. Now when you do that, that is where I come in. I am going to make a bargain and make it look like I am on the side of

    "Thank you doc. So what are we looking at? What do you guys want me to sketch?" He asked even before he took a seat. "Max, it is something they will have to explain to you and as they describe it you will have to sketch exactly what they say. I hope you get the right picture if not you're going to have to try it over and over again until what is drawn matches the description and that is if they're able to confirm that it looks just like it." The Doctor said. "Okay I will be able to do it. Give me a minute." Max said and took out the sketch pencils and drawing book he had in his cross bag. "Ethan. Isabelll." Dr Muppet called their names with eyes fastened on them to have them begin."Right. Right." Ethan said clearing his throat before they both began the description. After they were everything is playing everything too Max which took nothing less than 30 minutes, Max was able to come up with a perfect drawing, something that was even much impressive than Ethan and Isabel had expect

    Dr Muppet began to explain everything to him without hesitations and after he was done talking he led Chris Woodley to the tunnel to show him everything. Chris was so amazed at the sight of everything that was shown to him of which he was not aware of. However win the year back to the doctors sitting room, he asked to be clear of what they were planning to do afterwards, "...and after we succeed in getting the lock opened through that tunnel?" "We have arrangements to disguise and make ourselves clothes that looks like that of the parrhesia-dauntless', that way we get to go into the capitol hill and find a way to stop them from this madness of killing people all in the name of a useless game of pleasure." Dr Muppet elaborated. "Come on doctor we really need more plans than what you're bringing here. We can't simply disguise and not have a plan. How do we intend changing the minds of these people I do not see any hope in trying unless we are ready to fight them. And definitely that i

    "Sure he can. I told him about it. Could you please show him the sketch work." Max said with eyes on Dr. Muppet Puppet. "Here." The doc brought out the paper and handed it over to him. "So, Kyle. This is it. This is how far they were able to explain it to me and they said it look exactly like what they have seen previously. I hope this is clear enough for you too figure out what to do with it?" Max said as Kyle carefully studied the diagram. "Yeah I am sure I'm going to be able to make something like this but we are going to need to be sure of how the inside looks. This seems to be complicated a little bit I do not think it's from our present day technology." Kyle said and when he noticed the silence, he asked, "isn't this padlock accessible? I mean, can't I get a closer look at it? Why not you take me to where it is located so I can have a closer look instead of this diagram? Kyle asked. "We are sorry Kyle but no one can get in there just like that. The place is fortified and we

That way you will be able to figure out where the shape went wrong on you way back. I pray the luck that has been on your side continuously see you through." Kyle said on his way out with the sketch work in his hand. His friend Max shook hands with Ethan before leaving with him. When Dr Muppet returned, Ethan and Isabel felt like to leave too but had to linger for a while because the Dr has other things to discuss with them.

    "Intelligence status? Don't worry I can deal with him with my human intelligence. You speak as if there is something special about him." Ethan mumbled. Terranova: "there's something actually special about him. System has carefully analyzed him and have detected high level of intelligence, you need to upgrade and system will be able to run the intellectual upgrades within seconds." "Nevermind, I will not waste resources trying to do that, Terranova. You have to stay calm and let me handle this. Besides you rated my intelligence and recorded 21. That is out of prediction though. I am surely more than your predictions." Terranova: "the figure you are seeing is not from your own IQ level. It was something given as a bonus based on system initialization and installation. You have to upgrade your intelligence to stand superior over him.""Don't worry, I got this." Ethan said and ignored whatever the system has been saying."Hey so you are the one who won the heart of everyone by defeatin

Someone screamed Madison looked at Loretta, and then at Kim but Loretta spoke immediately to support her before anyone else standing by her "You should believe her. She is telling the truth. I have seen it and I am part of the few who are not in agreement with the killing though we have to accept our fate of alignment in order not to be silenced. You know the punishment of not abiding by the rules here in the capitol hill? Ours is even worse." Lorette stressed. "And I happen to be a part of those who are not in support but I have to go by authority and play by the rules. Thanks to a survivor in the midst of it all, his name is Ethan and he is standing right here with us all. You may have heard of him or you may not have. I wish to give him the chance to tell us more about what is going on. Ethan please." Kim added and stepped back with gestures to get Ethan to speak.

    "Nothing is going to happen to him. The beasts won't go into the restaurant, I do not believe they will. Your family are survivors that is one thing I believe. You are a survivor and I will try my best to be quick so that they will not send you in until all this is done. Besides, there was an exemption on your case. They said you are going to be placed in position as the manager, remember?""With the way things are going down here, I do not think it will be considered anymore. There has been a change of plan ever since you were away. Dr Muppet didn't tell you he is now capable of being shortlisted as a candidate for the game? There is no exemption anymore. The announcement was made a few days ago." "Hmm, alright let us take that as a means of doing everything we have to do quick. Trust me, I have this believe that we are both going to find ourselves together again. Please, Isabell, let us go in. And please be with me in heart. Heart to heart, Isabell. Alright?"

    "You have to stop, Isabell, whatever you are trying to do, you just have to stop. I am not like the factions, Madison is not like...." Ethan took a deep breath and exhaled, then he said calmly as he placed his hands on her arms "Madison is not like the factions. I know you do not like hearing her name but she is not what you think she is. She is not like her father. There are a lot of them like her in the capitol hill. Many are not even aware of what is going on in D.C. United here. You should not turn your back now. Madison is not even doing any of this because she loves me or have an attraction for me. She is fighting for a greater good, which is to have the killing come to an end and I have seen it in her eyes and all over her that she is desperate to stand against her father and to bring justice to the people. I know you are doing all these because you love me and want me to be yours. But as much as she may act this way, she is not. Put yourself in her shoes and understand. She sh

    Isabell raised her hand immediately in a way that made Madison clear her throat and was like "okay, who else is willing to come in with her?""I will." Arnold said lifting his hand. "No, not you Arnold. I don't need you to come now. I know why. Max, Greg? Which one of you is willing to come in?" Ethan asked thoughtfully and it was obvious that he does not want to lose Arnold as he has done his friend Parker. "I will go." Max said before Greg could. "Very well then. We have Isabell and Max." Ethan said. Ethan wanted to stop Isabell but he felt it was going to be pointless and he was not also ready for another long hour of conflict and attempts to convince her to accept his apologies. He knew Isabell to be a die hard and incapable of listening when her mind is made up in whatever she has in view, despite the fact that she was obedient to him on several occasions."Okay, that will be enough at the moment. Your assignment, you and Max will be simple. Whatever we discuss and whatever ne

    Madison whispering, said to Ethan, "who is she exactly?" "She is my friend. Why?" Ethan said with a guilty stare. "C'mon Ethan, don't play around. I know what I am asking you and am sure you know as well. Tell me, are you two in any relationship because she loves you from what I see and she is jealous that I am here. This is not going to work out if we are not all focused on one thing." "It is complicated, Madison. Trust me, I can not start talking about it for now. I promise to let you know what is going on sooner. For now, just bear with me and try not to take whatever she says or does into heart. I can't lie to you that I like her a lot but I am not just sure of what to say right now. It is my fault and you can count me as one to be blamed but not her. Please, alright?" Ethan muttered quietly while glancing at Isabell who stood with arms folded at a distance watching him talk with Madison. Madison was quiet for a minute before saying "you had better figure it out.

    "Alright, I will let my friends know that you are going to help us in this way. I believe it is for the best. Lysbia is going to need a balance again in society and I believe together it is going to be done by us." Ethan finished and they both continued moving. "Wow, this place exists?" Madison exclaimed when they entered Dr Muppet Puppet's room. "Yes, it does." Ethan said and kept looking around.."So many books in this library." Madison said looking very much amazed at the sight of Dr Muppet Puppet's books "Yes, it does. Don't touch anything. Dr Muppet!" Ethan instructed her and then called out with a loud voice. There seems to be no one in here. So he turned and said to Madison, "stay in this room, I will be right back." Ethan left through the front door and shut it on his way out. He first hurried to the house he bought when he was about leaving D.C united. When the taxi driver pulled in front of his house and he stepped out anticipating to see Isabell, the system spoke,Terr

You died but you can not die so long as I am in you. Which is why you should rather call it static mood because that is what it is from now on." "Whatever mood it is, please do not do it again.

I know what it feels like when I am dizzy. Hello, Madison." Ethan said as he turned his neck around to see Madison standing like she's frozen. "Why are you frightened?""Excuse me? Why am I frightened?! Damn Ethan, you just came from the dead! No one does that! At least not anyone I have known except Jesus Christ. You don't expect me to be cool, do you? Damnit!

Why should I tell him that I am to deliver an the report of Ethan's test to you myself but still he insisted that he was the one to deliver it and with every amount of Allah creating in his gut!"

"I suppose he had already told you that I was at the lab when he arrived? Didn't he?" Madison asked. "Well he never did he did not tell me anything about your presence there. And if he had done what should that matter to me? All I needed was this test here. And it appears that we might be in more trouble from what is written here about that young man. Have you looked at what the test says about Ethan Hills?" "Of course I have. And I do not think you should be threatened by it. Whatever it sugg

Do you buy enemies know who he is before now?" Kim asked with eyes on Madison. "No." She denied. And shifted her gaze from Kim to Ethan who was lying with his eyes still close. "I thought you have an idea who he is before now and if you don't why are you so interested in him?" Kim asked again. "Why should I not be interested when my father is also so much interested in him? I believe whoever my dad has his eyes on is someone worth paying attention to that is why I am here." Madison muttered as she touched Ethan's hands without even realizing she was doing it. Kim looked at her and sensed she was lying about not knowing him. "I see! You have justified yourself for being so interested in him. But forgive me to ask do you even know his name?" "Ethan. His name is Ethan Hills." Madison replied with a low
