"There you are!" The lady exclaimed as she drew closer and halted in the middle of the other four — it appears that all factions have similar uniform design, only that each uniform color differed from each other. Ethan looked so gentle when he sat on the stool and it was no surprise that he could assume different personality at the same time. He was neither introvert nor an extrovert, clearly an ambivert. "Pick up the earpiece on the table and fit it in your ears. We want every bit of our conversation with you from this point to be private." "Hello", Ethan greeted to ensure they could hear him after placing the earpiece on his left ear "So, what questions do you have for me?" Ethan asked calmly but with a clearly bold look on his face: fearless to the core. "Now that is more like it. He seems special." The lady at the middle asserted glancing at those with her. "I am special, literally. So, I was thinking the guy who just scolded my new friend, Peter, would be the first to ask ques
"What is it, Ethan?" Isabell asked him the moment she noticed he was angry. At this point they were both standing right next to Peter in the front row and watching as two youths fight in a boxing ring. The crowd cheered greatly whilst Ethan replied Isabell, saying,"That's my friend who betrayed me along with the guy I should be calling my best friend." "Arnold you mean?" Isabell asked the second she recalled he mentioned something like that at the table in Deer Creek Diner when he was talking to Sissy and as Ethan nodded, she said, "so which one is Parker and which one is Arnold?" She asked because there were two people fighting themselves in the boxing ring. "That's Parker, the one on blue shorts. I need to find Arnold, he should be here somewhere." Ethan said rolling his eyes in different directions. "Great! And he is clearly beating up the other guy." Isabell exclaimed, stroking her forehead. "C'mon Sam! Deck him!" Peter yelled at Sam who was being beaten up by an opponent Pe
"C'mon, attack me!" Ethan yelled to spur him. They both started throwing punches in a matter of seconds and the blaring in the crowd increased. "Ethan!" Isabell yelled as Parker punched him in the face his nose bled. "C'mon. Are you going to back up?" Parker kept bragging and hopping backwards as the referee intervened ringing the bell to end round one. Ethan spat on the floor and it was all red, he lifted his eyes in anger and staring at Parker who was resting on the other edge of the boxing ring to get himself ready for round two, he muttered, "what the f*ck Terranova... Why are you dormant?" Terranova: "What? I thought you were going to handle this?" "You what!" Ethan shook his head in frustration. Terranova: "don't yell at me, I thought this was a family issue and besides you never asked for my help." "You mean if someone is about to kill me you won't help untill I ask? F*cking do something whenever there is a threat against me. I thought that's the reason you are here in
"Really?" Ethan halted and turned to look at her, shyly he said, "am I the only one you trust?""Yes, of course, you are!" She exclaimed and shrugged with brows lifted high "That means you are saying I am your best friend?" "You have no idea." She said, looking away unimpressed and having her arms folded, he knew she was not happy with him from her sudden gestures. "Look, I am sorry. Even if everyone knows I was angry back there, what about you? I mean I let you down, I should have listened to you. I'm sorry", he said remorsefully with an inaudible tone and a repentant gesture, wrapped his arms around her, "truth is, I regret my actions beating up Parker in that manner." "Okay..." Isabell loosened up and turned to him, ignoring whether passerbys were staring at them "I forgive you. You have to promise you won't beat them up that way again.""I promise." He said immediately. "Then you'd also forgive them and visit Parker." "Ooo come on!" Ethan exclaimed disagreeing with her on th
"I am sorry but I have no idea where this guy is, because he suddenly left and it is going to take me a whole lot of time and effort to look for him. You do know that this D.C United is very vast? So if you need him so gently you're going to pay me $10 to find him and I'm going to do that." Peter bargained. It was obvious that nothing in DC United was free whatever you going to do for anybody you must find a way to get them pay for it, even as no one is going to do anything free for you and the place is a fight for survival by all means. "Just do it for me I'm going to give you $8. You know I am also going to help you whenever you are in need of help and besides I have helped you ones." The doctor said. "Whatever, send the money." Peter said. "Deliver the job first, Peter. We can't leave D.C United, so you gonna get your money once you are done. It's not as though I am going to escape. So, get to it." Dr. Muppet rumbled. Peter sighed and left afterwards. "Ethan. You know you shoul
"Come on, Isabell." Ethan said and held her right hand as they left. Isabel kept wondering why Ethan would show he cares sometimes and at other times behave very strange towards her. Deep down she was loving him, but he was not noticing her at all. She kept looking at his hair from a sideview as he held her hand without letting go to be sure she was keeping up. After about thirty minutes walk, they arrived the hospital. That was the only hospital in the entire D.C. united though it was a small city surrounded by a great wall wherein no one gets out but could only come in. "Wait here, let me go in and call him." Peter said as he left them in where looks like a waiting room though it was preceding the entrance of hospital. "The only way is to amputate his limbs we can't do any more than that. Just pray your friend survives this." The voice of a male nurse echoed audibly as Ethan and Isabell were about taking their seats, they immediately stood erect as they watched with the rest of th
"I am not going to die!" Ethan rumbled with an angry look in his eyes as his gestures projected alacrity. "I love your confidence. This boldness is a good reason to invest these knowledge into you and I suggest that you save this anger for those factions. I am not your enemy," The Dr. Muppet said and rising on his feet, he beckoned, "please, take a look at this y'all." "Ethan." Isabell called his name with a whisper as she glanced at him with a left nod, to make him keep lean forward, put his eyes on the sketch on paper and to pay attention because she knew he was still trying to calm his nerves because he felt bad the way the Dr. Muppet uttered those words to make him feel like he was the bad one. "This sketch right here was done by a friend of mine who was involved in the construction, when we constructed the arena of death. He was an engineer and along with his friends, they handed over some things to me as I was the only one they trusted, hoping I would one day find someone who
"And what if you are?" Ethan asked staring Peter in the eye because he himself was not ready to be a participant — deep down he still got fears most especially because of the things Terranova told him about finding a way to improve his skills least he be devoured with the others and not stand a chance of making it out alive. Peter looked at him and slowly backed off because he noticed that Ethan was about to be pissed off. Dr. Muppet did not even consider their reactions, to him, his plans was more important than anything and getting his plans work out was more important than having them alive. All he wanted was to get the inner protector opened because..."Hey, let us get this straight, this tunnel, once we have it opened, I mean, whosever is going to have it opened, how is he or she going to make it out if the beasts released are still alive and how are the rest of us who are still without the arena make our way through? Is there an entrance from outside the arena?" Isabell asked wi
