"In summary, I should not look suspicious, I get it!" Ethan rumbled and when he came to see men on suit with a little girl in their midst as they sat at drink on a round back sofa, he turned his face around facing the crowd behind him "shit, Terra, this is so not a possible mission to accomplish. You don't expect me to go in there and grab her from the midst of those men and not be caught, do you?" Ethan asked with a frown. Terranova: "come on, Ethan, that is why it is called a task. You have to find a way if not no upgrade and you know I can't keep explaining the repercussions. You can chose to wait until they are on their way out with the girl or do something right away because waiting till then will put you at the risk of running late, and I do not think you are so good at deadline..." "Okay, stop talking, let me think! Shit, you can't even help figure a way out of this. Gosh I get to do everything myself," he mumbled and went to sit on a bar chair. And requesting a drink, he tur
"Keep quiet, stop yelling! I know you can't see me but you have to cooperate with me least you are not getting out of here alive. Do not trust where I am taking you, but you have to know that I am definitely not going to f*ck you as the other guy would. Would you please stop struggling." Ethan kept sputtering words, and scolding her until he was out of the clubhouse. No one suspected and no one heard him as he was on his way out with the girl because everyone in the crowd was yelling, singing, dancing and some going in and out of the premises... "Find them!" One of the men on suits shouted as they all hurried towards the exit of the building. At this point in time, Ethan had called a taxi and when the taxi stopped by, the taxi driver thought he was carrying only a girl until the time for the invisible Ethan expired, [System shrilling] Warning warning // Invisible mood turning off in five four three two one!" "Aaahhh!!" The little girl screamed the minute I shut the door of the taxi
Terranova: "you made a little sense but then you do know that your previous mission, when you were outside DC United, would have even been more risky because and those kinds that we after you were armed but these ones were not armed at all.""Now you are beginning to make me understand that you do not reason like a human being. You are thinking things like a robot and that is not fair. Who the f*** even program you to reason this way? Oh shit, now I do believe that we are more intelligent than the people in your planet. Don't you have any understanding that the factions have so much power and there is no way I can stand as one man against higher authorities who obviously have much more power than me?" Terranova: "it annoys me most times whenever you say I am some kind of a robot or I am being program, Ethan. For crying out loud I have explained to you that I am not a robot, at least a system is a better description, but I do understand in a frequency for better than what you have her
"And before now what was it like? What was it like before you met the doctor Muppet? Do not tell me that you had no plans at all other than to just get into DC United." She questioned with a curved brows expecting some serious explanation from him. "Really? Do you really want to know?" He asked to be sure she was certain about finding out, because he knew quite well that she was going to be jealous when she finally hears it. "Yes, sure. I want to." She said bluntly with a serious look in her eyes as she waited for him to say it before she could get any other spoon of meal into her mouth. "Well, aside getting to find my friends and dealing with them for stealing my money, I came into DC United because I wanted to get in touch with my girlfriend, Madison Shaw and now from the look of things it is going to be very difficult to find her. You did not have to ask, she is already among the factions that is the more reason why I am going to do everything possible to find my way in there, an
"Hey, good morning, how was your night?" Ethan asked while yawning as he got up from bed to have his eyes on Isabel and her response was rather blunt..."Boring!" She said audibly to ensure he heard her loud and clear for she was facing the wardrobe and trying to get the things she needs out of it. "Really? Why boring? Because I know we both slept in a more comfortable place last night than we have, since we set out on our journey to get here." Ethan mumbling, asked as he made his way to the bathroom by the left because he felt it should not have been so for her as much as it was rather cozy for him than boring, coupled with the fact that he could still recall he went to bed with a pleasant memory. "Nevermind, you aren't going to understand either." She shook her head and continued with what she was doing at the moment, with belief that he was not interested to know how she feels. After he was done having his bath he came out of his room all dressed up, saying, "What makes you thi
"Come on, Isabel. We need to go." Ethan said as he grabbed her by the hand. "Ethan, where are we going to go and what do you have in mind?" She asked as they went back inside. He picked up a few things which includes his wrist watch, a pen, cellphone, jotter... "We have to walk around the arena area and see what we could find. Maybe ask a few questions to get to know how the inside looks like before the day runs out. We have to strategize on how to lengthen the duration of our survival so that we could figure out how to get through that hidden tunnel. Trust me, when we get in there, we may not be able to think about opening that padlock if we aren't prepared to keep our fears under control and quit panicking." Ethan gave a protracted and hasty utterance whilst he was getting himself ready and the moment he was done talking, he turned to her and said, "you are going to be alright. Let's go." "Ethan, I am scared. You do not understand what am trying to say, I am not ready to go in th
"You should." Ethan said with a low tone of voice, though he was not in the mood to say anything to the taxi driver because he quite understood the taxi drivers reason for not going to the arena to be part of what is going on there. "Hey, you two should take care of yourself. You still have enough time between today and tomorrow to enjoy yourselves before you kiss life goodbye. I am Nathan Sparrow by name. It was a pleasure serving you guys. We'll meet in afterlife." The driver uttered hastily as they were on their way out of his taxi. Ethan looked at him for a moment and tapped him on his shoulder with his right hand, reiterating,"You should be there tomorrow, Nathan Sparrow. No goodbyes, alright." Ethan said with a spark of hope in his eyes before he left with Isabel. "Don't let what he said get into your head, Ethan. I stopped listening to him because I knew he was going to make us feel like we are unlucky." Isabel finally spoke as they left the road, heading into a narrow pass
"Alright Silvester, look, we do not have any plan to survive in there when we get in all we want is to know how to survive much longer than the rest of them who has gone in there. We wish to know how the interior looks like and just maybe we can find a way to carry out what we have in mind before our time elapses. So if you are expecting me to describe what I need exactly I am sorry I do not have that answer right now. All I'm expecting from you is to tell me what you have seen and describe exactly how the interior of that arena looks like." Gasps* Ethan finished and listened carefully as Silvester began to give him the description of how the place looks like. After taking for about six minutes with convincing information, Ethan asked, "Can you tell the distance the maze is from the arena ground? And is there any demarcating line between them?" "It is very difficult to figure that out because we are viewing from outside the arena and you know that before one gets to approach the line
"And why should we believe you?!" 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. Ethan spoke convincingly and after he was done, almost all the members of the amit
"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?" Ethan said fondly of p
"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. I don't want
"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
Terranova: "Sir, you have reached full system capacity. Welcome back from static mood." "Static mood? Everything was blank Terranova? I was dead you mean." Terranova: "practically yes. 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. Do you know how hurt I feel in my head?" Terranova: "I can't tell, though I think it is for the best. You are only feeling dizzy I believe." "This isn't a feeling of dizziness. 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! I wonder what you have in your body that is performing all this. You scare
"Well I was in The laboratory not quite long ago and he walked in and spoken your manner that's made me suggest that you have given him a higher authority than myself. 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!" Madison sputtered with raging eyes. "Well I asked him to be sure he gets it directly to me I never knew you were going to be there." "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
"He does not only show signs of an Amity he is also executing potentials of a parrhesia-dauntless. I think this guy is underestimated and he has so much potentials than anyone of Us. 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
