2024-10-29 19:42:56David arrived at their meeting lair some minutes later. Peterson and John were shocked to see him back that early. It was time for him to share what he had found out and to get more from them. Things were happening in their favor. It was their first day on mission together and they were seeing some light. They had gotten enough information to get them going. All they had to do was figure out their next move.
“What brings you here men?” John asked David in surprise.
“I am part of the team. We work together, remember?” David replied.
“Of course I know that. What I meant to ask was, why this early?”
“I just needed a break. How did it go with the agents?”
“It’s taken care of. You do not need to worry about that,” Peterson replied.
“Any new information?” David asked.
“We may have something but not much. Seriously David, why are you here this early? Are we i

The following morning, Jonas had some catching up to do at school. He had missed a lot in the past few weeks. Despite him studying at home, he had to show up at school. Besides the fact, he had a girlfriend he had not seen for some time. He missed her and needed to spare time for her. He had also gotten the memo from his father that they had to take things slow. It was time they had the so-called clairvoyant guessing and playing the game by their rules. His stay at Peterson’s house was never to keep him out of sight.Jean’s condition needed someone to keep an eye on her. Besides, he too needed someone with enough time and motivation to help him read his great grandmother’s journals. Neither David nor Peterson could do it. They just had to go out in search for more answers. By the time, Jean was already healthy enough to take care of herself. She was also not the type of people to get bored.She was too good a homicide detective to lack an activity for

Back at the lair, David had gotten a call from the precinct. It was the captain requesting for his immediate assistance on a case as well as his set of eyes for what was at hand. He may have decided to keep off the precinct for a while but the information the captain gave him left him with no other choice but to oblige. Peterson and Jean had to go through the case files all by themselves.On his way to the scene, he tried to figure out what it was that had spooked the captain that much. In the end, he just had to wait and get the answer from the scene itself. On arrival, what he expected was not what he saw. Instead of the bloodless carved bodies, those at the scene had bullet holes and instead of one, they were two. Immediately he laid eyes on the bodies, he recognized them.They were no one else but the two agents from the Credonia Presidential Security Detail (CPSD). Even more surprising, the captain had no clue of them working for the Clairvoyant. What surprised Me

He proceeded on his way back to the precinct. David could not wait to reach the lair to get the information he had just got to Peterson and John. He called them to let them know that, the two agents were dead. The captain was working for the Clairvoyant but he had no clue of whom his colleagues in the mission were. Just like Claire had mentioned, he had the same suspicions as well but could not let Meake know about it yet. He knew the Clairvoyant decided to clean up the mess after they failed to get him results and deliver John and the evidence.Peterson did see things fore hand before they could happen. After the agents had called John blackmailing him to having his family, Peterson knew they had hit rock bottom. It was just a matter of time and their boss would punish them. He had a hunch that the 24 hours they had just given John could as well been a deadline they had from the Clairvoyant to give results or, they would just end up where they did; dead on the streets like s

The second day after Jonas got back to college was quite packed. Kate was getting ready for a music concert she was to perform at the college that day. Jonas being his boyfriend and closest friend, he could not afford missing it or not being by her side. He had to leave early enough to get to college in time for everything. In fact, that day was one of the very few he had to take advantage of his father’s Toyota Hilux double cabin truck.Jonas was used to driving Kate around but that day he had to do it on his father’s truck. He drove by her home that morning and picked her up for school. Her parents as well as Peterson and David were to join the concert later hours of the morning. Kate’s excellent performance at the concert was not a choice she had to make. She had to do her very best to make the finest out of it. Her scholarship to further her Musical dreams depended on it.Lucky for her, she had every support from all the people that meant the worl

Not long after, the tech guru was home. With him was everything he needed to find justice for the murdered innocent souls and honor his father. One would think he had a whole server with him. Instead, he arrived in the company of Mary. David had brought him up to speed and therefore no introductions were required. Time was not in their favor. They had to do something before they could join Jonas at the concert.The first thing Matthew had to do was trace the source of breach that led the dead agents to having John’s so-termed secure line.“Now that you are here Matthew, it’s time you heard what we need you to do for us. Unless you don’t recognize anyone, they all know you well,” David said.Matthew said pointing at David and Peterson, “Actually, you and him I knew long before while my father was still alive.”He turned to point at Jean, “She was the one not known to me but you took care of that. I just never

The three of them leaned closer to see what Mary had in store for them. What they saw had them pause in disbelieve and wonder. Matthew had just retrieved a footage of Jane at her shop handing the two agents the number a day after she had sold John the burner phone. As they watched on, David had something else to add as well.David moved closer, “Wait a minute, pause and go back a few frames. I think I saw something,” he said to Hills.“That makes all of us David. We are looking at something,” Jean implied.“What is it David? What have we missed that you may have seen?” Peterson asked looking more keenly at the footage.He tapped Matthew on the shoulder, “There… stop,” David said.“And what is it are we supposed to be looking at David?” Jean asked trying to scan the scene keenly.He pointed at the woman in the footage, “Her… The woman at the shop.

He picked the call to hear what John had to say. Indeed, they had guesstimated accurate. He had just found out that Jane was the one that gave the agents access to his house to collect the documents he could not find. He had just called to let them know of it and that he was about to go looking for her for answers on why she had to do it.Too bad for him, Jane was not at a position to answer the questions he thought of asking her. She was busy keeping Ruddick Company and getting cold by the day at the Kibich Central Teaching and Referral Hospital morgue.As much as David would not want to deliver such news to him on phone, he had to. John could not get hold of himself. He broke down to tears. It was at that moment that he knew she would never betray him. The fact that she was dead said it all. Jane was the second best friend he had killed within the last one-month and the last of his best friends. Jean was the first he thought to have had killed.The news hit hi

The very same day could not get any better. At Kibich Central Police precinct, there was still more coming their way. So far, it was a good day. No one had to be carried to the morgue or lose his or her life to some self-centered maniac. What could be heard on the police radios was just the normal police chatter by the officers on duty.Sorry for them, a tornado was about to hit the precinct hard enough to shake it down. Against all odds and against all norms, this time, trouble came right through their doors. This trouble was none other but, the average, beautiful tough-looking Special Agent Claire Jacobs of the CIB Special Crimes unit. She had heard enough reported to her therefore, it was time for her to physically avail herself to the action.There was no better way to get to the action itself than being at the Kibich Central Police precinct. It had come time for her to take the matters off the hands of the captain into her capable hands. In other words, she had co

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
