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? Do you seek forgive

    A while later at the precinct, Meake got a call from KCTRH. It was the senior doctor calling. Meake suspected the call had something to do with the rescued victims from the CIBSC Black sight. He was very right. The doctor was calling to give a report on how the patients were doing. Moreover, the report was not as important as what he had to say next.He requested the captain to send someone from the task force to the hospital. This was because, contrary to the patients responding well to treatment and gaining most of their memories back, they seemed to speak in tongues in the sense that, not even one doctor understood what it is they were talking about. The doctor did not explain much to the captain claiming that the representatives would give him a better explanation of the situation.The captain went forth to share it with the team and tasked detective Jean and agent Claire with visiting the hospital. They were best suited for the task. They had proved to be very res

    They had already arrived at the hospital and walked in together to give hear to what the doctor had to request their presence for. Shortly, the doctor received them and took them straight to his office. The doctor went ahead to explain what had led him to request for their help.“Thank you very much detectives for coming on such a short notice,” Doctor Kirimi started.“You do not need to thank us doctor. It is our job to respond whenever our services are required. We signed up for it,” Jean replied.“Well…as I told your captain over the phone, the patients are very responsive to medication,”“But…” Claire uttered.“But, since they gained their memories back, they are talking strange things.”“How strange are we talking about here doctor?” Jean inquired.The doctor took one of the patients’ medical file and gave them to have a look.&ldqu

    “Come on people, once a detective always a detective. Though I am a priest, I loved and still love being a detective and it is in my nature. I could not just stay put. I had to keep myself busy. After all, this case was ours from back those years during our time. You are just helping me close it for good and as it seems, save the world from whatever it is that wants us all dead and forgotten,” Johnpaul explained“Very well then… detective. We have heard you and thank you for helping us solve the case. As the captain, I wish to request you to help us see this case to the end. We could use someone with your knowledge. Not only as a detective but also, as a Padre. This case about the clairvoyant and the journals seems to have something in common, a supreme being and another very evil one. Just like God and Satan in the Bible,” Meake requested the Padre.“It will be an honor working with you people. From what I have seen so far, y

    Ruddick had finished the analysis. He came to explain to them what he had found. He discovered the so-called trial drug as an extract from the Clairvoyant’s own blood. He explained that, the extract was what could be best described as normal human white blood cells on steroids.According to his research, the syrup was so powerful that when injected to the human body in small dosage, it boosted the body’s immunity to extra high levels. That was the reason that Jones and Anderson’s wife were able to conquer the cancer. It ate away the cancer cells like butter and completely.He also continued to point out that, on further analysis, he discovered that, when the same syrup was administered in higher dosages and at regular intervals, it prevented aging. That was the reason the victims rescued at the Black site talked of being kidnapped years back and yet, none of them showed any signs of aging.Unlike when injected in small dosage, the higher and fr

    The following day, very early in the morning, the hunt for the armor against the Clairvoyant began. That day was not to be like any other in the past. With the Padre present, they had to start their day in style. What better way could that be if not to seek God’s guidance and protection as they searched for the Chosen’s weapon against the Clairvoyant.Padre Johnpaul kicked off the day with a word of prayer. Indeed, the battle had surely began. After the short and precise prayer by the Padre, it was time to dig into the journal for clues about where they could find the armament. As usual, Matthew did what he knew best and projected the pages they were to read from the journal on the big screen. It was essential for all to see as they read through.In one of my visions, I saw a warrior, a great warrior. He stood strong and fearless but without armor and not ready for battle. Looking at him, he was not heavily built and neither did he seem to have fought anoth

    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

    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.
