2024-10-29 19:42:56As bad as the private talk sounded in the ears of Jonas, he just had to oblige. After all, he was still the chosen and the fate of the world rested on his young shoulders. A few of his girlfriend’s tears could not be compared to a world without earthlings to live in it.
In such situations, the best way out is, to protect the feelings of those you are about to hurt for as long as until just minutes or hours after you have left and they have to find out the truth the easy way or the hard way.
The easy way of course would be to have you back with them and the day’s program not messed up with. The hard way though is quite the opposite of that. To never get to see you again that day or the next few to come, the day’s original plan messed with seriously followed by tears and their plans to kill you the next time you meet.
In the case of Jonas, he had a choice to only take the second option. As bad as it sounded, it was still the best he had. There wa

After John hung up the phone after the discovery of his best friend’s murder. He could no longer sit in wait for justice to prevail. He had to do something about it. He again went back to Ruddick’s for more answers. By the time, in deed Ruddick had something for him. Upon carrying out autopsies on Jane’s body, he discovered that Jane’s cause of death was not because of the etchings on her body. Instead, Jane had died of a totally different cause long before she got the engravings.It was after the fact that the killer decided to carve markings on her body and drain her blood thereafter. Despite his previous suggestions of the perpetrator having no background on the human anatomy, upon further examinations, the carvings indicated skillful work. Work that was done by someone with extensive knowledge of the human anatomy. The perpetrator did the carvings with the aim of throwing them off.Besides the facts, there were also signs of strangulation. S

Immediately on arrival at the precinct, she filled them in on the reason for the emergency. She had just received reports that a woman had just been reported missing. According to the officers at the scene, there were no indications of her being murdered. Her boyfriend reported her missing that morning. They had gone for a camping weekend the previous day. That morning, she had woken up for a walk around the park when he heard a scream shortly after she had left the tent.He followed as soon as he heard the scream but upon running a couple of meters along the path she had taken, he found one of her snickers lying around. He also heard what he said to be the squawking of a vehicle leaving the scene. It was then that the boyfriend called the police to report the incident. Though they had plans to look at the previous murders that day, they had to postpone for a later time. Having shared all this information to the team, they left at once for the park.Since Detective Pau

Matthew and Jean were busy trying to make sense of Jane’s murder outcome. After Matthew had discovered Jane as the source of breach, he was to find out more about the two agents deaths and why they had to kill each other. Matthew used all the knowledge he had to go through security footages around the city but could not find a thing. Just as they were about to give up the search, Ruddick’s report about the agents having killed Jane reached them.As it turned out, it was the missing link needed to come up with a theory of their own as well. First, there was nothing showing on the security footages at the street where the dead agents were. Second, Jean had been in the field long enough to know that, such high level agents could not be that sloppy. In other words, the agents did not kill Jane as told by Ruddick. Second, there was a possibility that the two agents had not shot each other to death as well. Someone wanted them to think of it that way and as it seemed, w

To any other person but them, that was just a normal occurrence. To them, that meant that there was something that someone very senior did not want known about the two agents. It also meant that, whatever they were hiding had to be not good at all, to whoever was hiding it. That became the clue that they all decided to chase for answers.The following morning at the precinct, Claire was ready to profile the killer in question. Everybody in the team was present and ready to hear what the smart agent had to say except Ruddick. Immediately after they were settled, she begun the profile.She looked and pointed at the big screen on the wall, “As you can all see, we have gathered enough information to trace our murderer. By profiling the killer, I hope to find him with your help. That was the very reason I chose you all for my task force. What I might leave out, I know you shall fill in as we go on.”She turned her head and eyes away from the screen to loo

As she was getting ready to show them the footage, two agents from her department, (CIB) Special Crimes entered the precinct ended straight for the office. The task force in the office with her as well as the officers in the precinct did not wait to be told of what was about to go down. The sight of those agents meant that someone was about to be in serious trouble. They walked straight entering the office to join in wait for the outcome so they could do their job. She finally got the recording and played it on the big screen for all to see. What they all saw left them mouths wide open in wonder and surprise.As Claire was saying, the killer was in their midst the whole time. In fact, the killer was not just at the precinct but also part of the team. Immediately it was clear who the killer was, the agents had no time to waste but take him away for prosecution to answer for his crimes. No room for more discussion neither doubt whether the suspected killer had not done as she s

Within the minute, Jonas did not waste any second. He took his father’s truck and drove home to let the team know of what had transpired and try to figure out a way to help him. Although David might have told Jonas to tell his mother about it, he just meant the opposite.He never wanted Jonas to let his mother know about the incident. Instead, he was telling him to let Jean know of what had happened and to tell her to lie low. He never wanted her to risk showing herself trying to save him. He knew she would because she was the only one that could clear his name. Jonas may have been a witness to clear his father but the fact that he was family and was termed as unstable could not help him much.Just to think the day could not get any worse for him; Kate had switched on her phone ready to talk to him about their situation. She called him as he was driving home to let Peterson, Matthew and Jean know of what had happened to his father.Jonas held the steering

Back at the precinct, the captain had the right reason and moment to call the Clairvoyant, which was a rare occurrence. The Clairvoyant called most of the time giving him orders on what to do or threats when he seemed not to meet the Martian’s expectation. This time, he needed to know whether the Clairvoyant was behind David’s capture and the reason for him to have him arrested.“The world should be ending right about now for you to be calling me captain. Was I not clear about me contacting you and not the other way round?” the Clairvoyant asked furiously.“I am sorry to bother you but, I just had to update you on the current events,” Meake said.“And what current events are these you talk about captain?”“Are you aware that the soldier has just been arrested?”“You mean your consultant soldier?”“Yes, he is the one I am talking about,”“Of cours

Upon Jonas reaching Peterson’s house, all could not help but notice his wretched face. Since he had left in the company of his father that morning, his lone and early return introduced them to what he was about to drop on them. They knew it could not be any good. He put himself together to tell them of what had happened.“Jonas, where is your father and why are you here this early looking like you just had a fight with a semi-trailer?” Jean asked upon seeing the look on his face.“Some very bad things are happening to me today. A semi-trailer would be preferable,” Jonas replied.“What do you mean some very bad things are happening to you today? Where is David?” Peterson asked curiously.“I am afraid but, Claire has just gotten him arrested by agents from CIB,”“What do you mean has gotten him arrested? For what? Do they arrest people for no reason these days too?” Matthew asked looki

A while later, they arrived at the location and took cover leaving only Claire. Such an ambush was the best advantage they had against the Clairvoyant. He had played them long enough. It was time they got to be one-step ahead of him.On his arrival, before he could even get a chance to leave his vehicle, they began to give him their best. Indeed, he was the true Clairvoyant for bullets did not seem to have much effect on him. He switched to his alien form to deal with them squarely as well. He was one very ugly beast in his alien being and scary to even look at.As Jonas was busy weakening him with his powers, the rest of the team was busy giving him everything they had. Indeed, they were very ready for the battle. They had gotten every weapon they could get their hands on at the precinct to fight against the beast. He was one tough alien to kill. Were it not for the Chosen, truly, the world was doomed and about to end. All the power he had to challenge Jonas with and

A while later, they arrived at the church and got the key. After putting it to the port, it was a perfect fit and the chest opened revealing yet another scroll for them to read. As usual, it was another paradox that they needed to solve if they were to be anywhere near making sense of it.The message read, ‘He who is chosen has everything needed to defeat the evil one. His weakness is his greatest weapon and tool against he that seeks to destroy. Beware, he has to be defeated before the sun meets the moon else, he shall grow strong and will be unbeatable. In the shadows, he has lived waiting to the time. When the time does come, he shall have the power of the seven equestrians in one body. You must not let this happen, otherwise, the world is doomed to come to end. As always, you should have faith and believe in yourself for only then will your weakness be your only strength against him.’Having read the message on the scroll, it was clear to them that inde

On another part of the city was Jonas and Jean as well. It was also their first time in an amorous relationship with each other. Since theirs was more of an ambush, they had not a good chance to properly express each other’s affections besides the stolen glances to each other as they worked together. They too decided to make up for the lost time. Unlike John and Claire who were trying to build a relationship from a first date, theirs was different.Their first date came after their relationship had already taken off. His visions, Rebecca’s journals and the chest made it so. They had gone out for their first date as well. They were not the hotel type though. Instead of booking a table for two at an elite hotel, they decided to make theirs unique. They chose the top of the greatest tower in the city for their venue. It was the very same place he kissed his first girlfriend Kate for the first time.The date was not as normal as any other first date. Theirs inv

The Clairvoyant was no more. They finally culminated the case. Being free, it was time to embark on other better things. After the captain’s burial, it was time to concentrate on their lives. They had spent so much time working the case that they did not have enough for leisure and personal lives.John embarked on his new mission, to take Claire out as promised. He prepared himself and dressed to look his best. That day was one among the few countable that he wore a tuxedo. He surely looked good in the black so-fitting tuxedo. After the meticulous preparation was over, he walked out magnificently and drove to Claire’s place to pick her up. Considering the fact that fate had taken Jonas from her, she needed to give John a chance. After all, she was also very eager to hear what he had to say. He had promised her an explanation on how Ruth was not his wife nor Eve his daughter.After a short drive, he arrived at her residence. As usual, in his hands was a bouq

Indeed, their plan worked so well and Peterson fell for the trap, so they thought. What they did not know was that Peterson had something in store for them as well. Instead of showing up at the hospital as they thought and expected, he planned a rendezvous of his own. They had made a good plan but with one omission; the Clairvoyant was as clever as they were.He knew their greatest weakness was caring about people. He knew they would go to any lengths just to save a life. He got hold of a few hostages and called David. He instructed them to head to his rendezvous point if they were at any position of saving the hostages.That was the time they fully realized that he would have never fell for their first idea about David trying to make him feel guilty. Since they had him believe Jonas was hospitalized, they had to keep it so. Someone had to play the role of Jonas. Peterson made his plan just to make sure Jonas could not show.They decided to give him just that. J

Jean flipped the chest around looking for anything after the fact. Indeed, this time, she found something. On one side of the chest was the message, ‘His weakness is his greatest Weapon’. It was yet another riddle for them to solve. The question was what weakness it was and how it was his weapon.As they tried to figure out what it was, Meake got a call from the CIBSC director. He was required at the CIBSC headquarters for matters concerning National security. He left at that moment leaving the others trying to solve the riddle.According to what they thought, Peterson was just another clone. Still without any other clue pointing to who the Clairvoyant was and to make sense of the message on the chest, they just had to conclude the obvious; the Clairvoyant had impersonated Peterson.With that in mind, they just had to find Peterson’s weakness and use it against him. It was the only option making sense. Had Peterson been a clone, the chest could

Early the following morning, the task force gathered at the precinct as usual. It was time for them to find out more about the chest and how it was a weapon against the Clairvoyant. It was no ordinary chest though. Unlike any other normal chest, that one had no opening seams. It was smooth all round and more like a solid cube.Jonas tried everything he could think of that could have opened it but to no avail. After several failures, it was the time they remembered the part about the Chosen’s better half. They shifted from trying to open it to figuring out who the better half was. Since Jonas and Claire were dating at the time, they suggested her.Although they had not dated for long, there was no one else in Jonas’ life. She had to be the one. Since they did not know of what the better half was to do, they just had her hold the chest in her hands. Still, there was nothing to show for it. The question they all asked was who else it could have been; there was

Upon arrival at David’s compound, they all left the cars and walked following David as he led them to the stowage. Upon entry, they saw the enormous shield first. It was then that they suspected to be at the right place as well. He just did as he saw his wife do and the floor clicked. Some of the other members, the likes of Matthew and Ruddick, were scared.Into the spiral stairway to the underground they went. A short while later, David lit the lanterns as Jessica did. They walked on to the enormous door with a riddle for a key. This time, David already knew about it. He pushed and they got inside. He then walked to one end of the stowage where he had seen a spear when they were in there with his wife.Upon lifting the spear, it offset some kind of a trapdoor. It was at the highest part of one of the walls. It became the source of light from outside. David was astounded by the fact just like the others. He never thought the room could have a window.

Those were the last words of the journal. From that moment on, it was time for Jonas and his crew to figure out the riddle and get that which he was to use against the Clairvoyant.“Can anyone just make sense of what we just read? It’s not that I do not understand but, how are we to crack this riddle this time?" Meake questioned very curiously and looking confused.“Well, as you have heard, the Chosen is said to have everything he needs to defeat this evil one and who happens to be the Clairvoyant in our case,” Johnpaul responded.“Is it me or have anyone else heard something about God speaking and his anger and plead to turn back to the ways of the light?” Matthew asked.“I have heard that too. I just wish someone would tell us more,” Jean uttered.“That’s a good idea. We should start by turning to the ways of the light ourselves. Honestly, I have never understood how bad our situation is
