2024-10-29 19:42:56Peterson and David were already at the lair. Each of them had doubts about the other to clear. The lair was the best place to have the talk without having to look over their shoulders. First, Peterson needed to be sure that, David was not the Clairvoyant. He may have known him to be a good person but being dishonorably discharged from the army does that good no better.
David too had his worries; Peterson trained them back at the camp. More so, he was very quick in accepting his request for help. He also happened to be the only other person that knew so much about David. Before his being accused of shooting the president, that did not mean so much. Now, Peterson had even found out about his meet with Ruddick. That needed to be clarified if they were to work together.
After a very investigative dialogue between the two, they almost got to believe each other’s story to the outcome of working together as usual. Just as they were trying to go about how David would cod

The following morning, everybody was present at the precinct to work on the double homicide. This time, the two bodies were not taken to the KCTRH morgue but remained at the KCP precinct forensics lab for the autopsy and fast reference. The case was growing bigger by the day and the last thing they needed was to waste time driving to the KCTRH morgue for results, or, Ruddick doing the same just to give a report.They also wanted to minimize on the telephone communications as much as possible with David out there and after what had happened to Morris and his girlfriend. Even Peterson was present that morning. The only missing person was their current suspect, David. As they waited for reports from Ruddick, Matthew too was trying to follow any possible lead they could get to solve the case.The others as well did not just stay. They also had theories that only needed a word from Matthew or Ruddick to confirm. Apart from David being the Clairvoyant, they suspected that, h

That evening, as Jean was heading home, she bumped into Paul at the elevators. Jean was a very beautiful determined young woman and did not seem to have any commitments to anyone other than her job, badge and service weapon. Paul had discovered that and wanted a shot at snatching a part of her away from them for himself.The elevator was the perfect moment Paul was waiting for a chance to ask Jean out. After a while of dialogue, Jean did not seem to share in his views. His Denzel looks did not seem to have an effect on her as well. She seemed attracted to someone else who she did not have to mention to him. Her dismissal of the request for a night in the company of ‘Denzel’ was proof of the fact.Through the night, Matthew could not afford the luxury of sleep. The footages were bothering him so much and he needed answers. It was at that moment that a thought came to his mind. Still with the aim of clearing David of all accusations of being Clairvoyant, he d

Shortly, they arrived at the precinct. Every other member of the task force joined them for the briefing. It was time for Jean and Claire to share what they had gathered from Jones’ wife Sarah.“We have found out that, as of last year, Jones was diagnosed of a brain tumor. Being the director of the CPSD, such information reaching the agency could ruin his career. He and his wife Sarah decided to keep it secret as he underwent medication until he met a backstreet doctor who was willing to enroll him in a drug trial for the same. According to his wife, they got lucky and the trial drug worked miracles curing Jones fully. We inquired to know more about this doctor and the drug trial. Unfortunately, Sarah confirmed that, the clinic which went by the name Kibich Nonpareil Medical Clinic was closed just a few days to the assassination attempt that led to the death of her husband Jones,” Claire explained.“Do you want to mean that, the clinic’s s

“Honestly, I am still lost,” Matthew pronounced.“That makes two of us,” Meake seconded.“Make that three,” Peterson declared.Jean continued, “Alright, before we get to make that six, let’s just ask ourselves one question,” Meake interrupted, “Which is what detective?” he asked.“I was going to that captain…which is the question of what’s the common thing in all this from the beginning to this moment?” Jean enquired.“Seriously, how many times are we going to ask ourselves that question?” Jonas probed.“I guess as many as possible until we get what we are looking for…or…should it be who we are looking for,” Claire answered.“Forgive my asking but, where are you going with this detective?” Meake asked.“What I mean is, maybe the Clairvoyant has always been steps ahead of us bec

As the team prepared to break for the rest of the day, and, the two nerds got ready to spend the rest of the day working on making ends meet, Claire too decided to make the best for her evening plans.“Hey, Jonas…I need you to do me a favor,” Claire said to Jonas.“My ears are all yours. Just ask and maybe, it shall be done,” Jonas responded.“Well…there is this new recipe I have been working on and I need someone to taste-test the meal. I hope you wouldn’t mind if I asked you to be that person tonight?” Claire continued.“Of course I wouldn’t mind but, you could have just accepted. It could have worked too,” Jonas replied.“Accepted what Jonas? I do not know what you are talking about,” Claire claimed.“Of course you know what I am talking about. I remember the last time you asked me out for coffee, I did ask you out as well,” Jonas said.<

Just as they were about to leave, Juliet, Monica’s workmate and friend visited the precinct. She had something for them to look at. It had been quite some time since Morris was murdered but she had just received a weird text message to her phone that morning. As awkward as that was, she had to have the team have a look at it and maybe, give her answers on why it had happened.“Hey…Juliet…right? You are Monica’s friend…we were with you at the cabin looking for them,” Jean asked her.“Yes I am,” Juliet replied.“What are you doing here and how may we be of help?” Claire asked.“I just received this some minutes ago and could not think of anywhere else to go for answers,” Juliet said handing them her phone.Claire and Jean took the phone to have a look. After they read the text, Jean had a question.“Is this text supposed to mean something or why did you have

The documents also revealed the source of his payments. It turned out that, someone was paying him to erase all the digital tracks leading to the mysteriously shutdown backstreet clinic. It stated clearly the relationship between the clinic and Project Red Storm. Besides, it pointed out that, the trial drug that cured both Jones and Anderson’s wife was of unknown origin. When Morris found out about Project Red Storm and the anomalies in the drug used for the trials, he decided to dig deeper and get facts.This was about the same time that he was murdered and his computer at the CIBSC was wiped out clean to erase any evidence of the operations or anything about the drug trials and Operation Red Storm. They also came to find out that, when he took a requested leave for a week at the cabin with his girlfriend, he just wanted to buy enough time off the grid to get them means out of the country as fast as possible.From that moment on, they were able to answer the que

A few hours later, Paul drove to her place and picked her up for the dinner. They then headed to the Canon Hotel, which was one of the best for such an occasion around town. As they were busy talking, they heard police sirens approaching. In a short while, the vehicles halted at the front gate of the hotel.Several CIBSC agents stepped out quickly and headed towards them. Before they could ask of what was happening, Jean was arrested and taken away. Paul was set aback by the act but could do nothing other than just head back to the precinct to find out more about the reason for her arrest. He did not have the best gift in life after all. The dinner he so much looked forward to having with Jean was unceremoniously cut short.To his surprise, it was not only Jean that was arrested that night but almost every other member of the task force except for Jonas, Matthew and of course Peterson who was away. He could do nothing more to help them and had to wait until the next mo

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.

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
