“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.

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 few minutes later, they arrived at the black site. Just as thought, the place was heavily guarded and was welcomed with serious fire from the highly trained soldiers on guard. Lucky for them, they had a sniper and a spotter amongst them. David and Anderson took their position as the rest went in hot. They fought back killing all the guards and managed to get access to the facility. What they found inside left most of them breathless in fright.Apart from putting an end to Project Red Storm, they knew that, since they had discovered the acting president was a clone and one of Clairvoyant’s minions, they hoped the real president was held at the black site. Indeed, their hopes paid and they found him there. Besides him, Peter Jones was also a prisoner. That clearly meant that, the dead Peter Jones was just another clone. The Clairvoyant had also managed to switch him for a clone.They also freed those others held captive in wait to be cloned to serve the Clairvoya

The following morning, as Jonas and David were getting ready to go to the precinct, he got a call from Jessica. Before picking the call, he was very worried of what awaited them at the other end of the line. He gathered his courage and picked it up. Contrary to his expectation, she was very okay. She was just informing him that, she had just boarded the taxi he had sent to pick her up at the airport.That sentence stripped away any good news the phone call was meant to bring them. David had no reason to ask about her meeting Jonas the previous day. It was crystal; Jonas had met with just another one of Clairvoyant’s clones. What he could not comprehend was why the Clairvoyant would have Jonas meet a fake mother. Without much ado, he asked her of where she was headed and warned that she was being set up for something.Jessica claimed to be headed to Hotel Tronic. He then called the rest of the team informing them of the situation and requesting them to meet at Hot

About a week later, after they had buried Jessica and their friends Anderson and Peterson, it was time to get back to work. It was about time they went after Peterson’s clone seeking justice for their loved ones and friends. They met at the precinct to discuss the way forward on how to go about the mission. It was already clear to them that, for them to win; they just had no other option but to go for the Clairvoyant himself.Having gathered enough clues, they knew he was not of this earth. In order to beat him, they needed to find Rebecca’s missing journal. It was only then that they stood a chance against the Clairvoyant. The journal had the last bit for Jonas to discover his true power and how he was to defeat the mystic with the help of the task force.The only person said to know the whereabouts of the journal was said to have been killed in prison. Before they could find other avenues to look, they had to make sure they did not miss anything from John

They all got into the vehicles and headed to St. Paul’s Catholic Church at the eastern side of the city. After about a twenty-minute drive around the congested Eastern-side city roads, they finally arrived at the church. Out of the Toyota land cruiser Prado vehicles, they got into the church for the search for more clues about the missing journal.Inside the church, they split up and looked everywhere for those clues that could lead them to finding the journal or the journal itself. After a couple of minutes into the fruitless search, they were almost giving up on it. At that moment, father Johnpaul made his debut from the sacristy.He went forth to break the silence and addressed them asking of what had brought them into the church.“May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all,” father Johnpaul saluted.“And to you as well father,” they replied.“What brings you here to the church?

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
