Con looked at the tablet in his hands and tried to see where exactly the location he was being shown was. Xavier had encountered another problem with Lisa, she did something dangerous again without thinking of the consequences, and now her father had to solve the issue. There was a lot for him to do and lot more than he wanted to doAnyways, now that Lisa was out of the scene and Xavier was occupied with getting to her, there was space for him to carry out the research he had always wanted to. There was a surprising part of Lisa's discovery about her father and his files that they had all overlooked her discovering. There was much Xavier could do with the ice core but the problem remained the fact that he didn't know where the thing had come from.Lisa also wanted to know that and so did the rest of them, but what he suspected was that Xavier knew more than he was letting on. There was no reason for him to want to hide things from his daughter but Lisa was as inquisitive as anyone c
The Aedion was something Xavier had never seen in his life and one he wished he hadn't seen now that he had seen it.Lisa was still in her digital construct and with that came the knowledge that he had failed at trying to get her out of it.So far there was little to nothing that he could do for Lisa in whatever construct she had been trapped in and so far there was little he could do to help himself too.Con was already away on another one of his missions and this time he had refused to tell anyone what that mission was about.The little he had said was that he would be back and he had stood up and left.Aside from that, there was also the fact that his wife had delivered a package right to their doorstep.The lady Con had been married to while he was Derek Aer had delivered a package containing threats right to his doorstep and what was inside that package had been nothing more than a threat.Jane had been the one who brought it up and she had been scared at the moment. She was like
Glover city was the same as Jake had left it and he smiled as the plane landed.He was still yet to figure out where Adelaide had gone but he had a good idea. If the doctor had touched her then he would kill the doctor before making her suffer. His family businesses had probably been taken over by his asshole friends. They were all assholes but he would choose being the bigger asshole any day and any time than to be subject to their wickedness. After they had helped him locate the Aliyevs and he had failed, they had refused to offer him any more help after that.They had watched him try to locate the guy that had worked at Aubrey's company and who had slapped one of his bodyguards at the time.He still didn't have a clue as to where that person was up until this day, his memory had been damaged a bit after the initiation and now he had all these thoughts that weren't his floating through his mind. It annoyed him and disturbed him to be connected to people in this way. He wanted to h
Jane and Aubrey shared joint looks as Xavier went on with his work like nothing had happened. If it was ten years ago then he would have been the first person to go after his boss, riding his car into the darkness with guns, like a knight out to save a damsel in distress. Time had truly changed them but it was not surprise that it had changed them. Ten years ago they would have both gone after Con the minute they noticed he was missing. That was what had brought them to Orion city and after the collapse of the city and Con's disappearance, they had relented for a while, but they had never given up on him. They always kept hope in their hearts that they would find him, and they did. Xavier was probably just calm because he knew where Con was. Xavier raised his head up to meet the gazes of the two women staring at him. A slight smile spread on his face as he cocked an eyebrow up. "Why the glowering?" Jane peered at him through fine and delicate lashes. "You know where Con is d
Con stared at the file in his hands and the message Xavier had sent to him.The file was much more important than the message. He had gotten it. The information he had been searching for all this while.Horizon was bigger than what he had imagined. This world they were was one of their creations and the plans they had for it was much more evil than the plans he had tried to foil.The plans that had cost him his life and the plans that had made him feel like he had not a clue what he was doing in his career. There was much to do, too much for him to ignore it and act like nothing was happening.Xavier had sent him a message detailing their recent decisions.It wasn't really a message, it was more like they were trying to convince him of something.Xavier was saying they ought to relax and see what the future held for them as individuals, not just because of them but for all the people around them too.There was nothing after them and they ought to believe it and see that nothing was i
"He's not picking up is he?"Xavier shook his head and turned to look at the two ladies watching him. Jane and Aubrey were super worried about Con, and the fact that he was acting like a dickwad and not picking up any of their calls was something that had made them come to him.How they reasoned that Con would pick up his call when he had not picked theirs up baffled him, but he agreed to call the man all the same.Now that he was calling Con over the phone he was getting the same response. Static indifference. The call would ring and ring but no one would ever pick. Con would never cut a call directly, even when he didn't want to take the call. Instead he would stay back and watch as the call rang and imagine those on the other side panicking because they could not get him.He had done it to a number of commanders while they had worked as the military defense personally hired mercenary soldiers. He had done it to members of the team and he had done far worse to his uncle, it was ju
Jane could already feel her nerves scraping against each other as the drive continued. She had already decided on the fact that she would not be giving Con any smiles or warm looks.The fact that they had phoned him repeatedly and he had refused to pick up his calls annoyed her, and more than that it made her feel unwanted.She had been the one who went out to bring the package in and she had seen the threat embedded in the box. The delivery man had said the package had come from Con's wife. They all knew there was something else Con didn't seem to be telling them. The fact that the woman he had said he would divorce still seemed to see herself as his wife meant that the divorce papers had probably not been signed and Con had not told any of them that.Maybe he would have told Xavier, but Xavier wasn't in any way concerned with that.He claimed to love them but he didn't even talk to them or tell them anything he was planning. It didn't make her feel very loved.It didn't make her fee
Con was barely getting his new work space assembledd before Jane and Aubrey appeared in his line of vision with Lisa in tow.Well Lisa was the one who lead at the head while the two women followed behind, but unlike Lisa, they didn't seem too thrilled to be around any of the things they were looking at. Him included.Jane's glare would have incinerated a lesser man and Con didn't know if he was to feel happy or hurt at Aubrey's melancholic but utterly relaxed look.She seemed not to give a single eff about whatever he had been doing with his time and it hurt. Yes, he had decided on it now. It hurt.What hurt more was the fact that they had every right to be angry at him.Lisa was the first person to throw herself at him in a hug and he caught her. It would seem the little girl had missed him."Where are the black roses at?"Con rolled his eyes and placed her back on the floor."Out back, you can ask one of the maids to take you there. Be careful with the thorns."Lisa was nodding but
