The sun fell behind the horizon as night arrived, bringing with it the end of a long day. After spending almost a whole day acting as a moving company, They had managed to successfully bring everything that was asked for, allowing Jeremy to begin setting up his work station. The massive pile of messy electronics had turned into an orderly and impressive looking setup which looked similar to something you would see in some sci-fi movie. Jeremy sat on top of the workstation's large stool while staring intently at the screen. With his monitor open in front of him, His fingers danced across the keys, typing away and entering commands into the console faster than Luke could see. The screen displayed several lines of text scrolling by at a rapid pace, each one containing a different set of instructions or code that the software ran through. "Wow... This is so cool." Luke whispers reverently under his breath as he watches the young boy work. His eyes were solely focused on the bright scr
Luke leans in closer to the screen as he watches Jeremy and the unknown person continue their struggle with each other through the text on his screen. The fight between them continues on with Jeremy in complete silence, only focused on the task at hand. As for the stranger on the other end of his connection, Luke could only imagine his fingers racing over the keys in an attempt to stop Jeremy's action. But as Luke observed the battle that played out on his screen, he also came to the realization that despite how intense Jeremy looked, He still had no clue what was happening. Figuring that they would be at it for a while, Luke decides to go and take a seat outside while he waits. He walks outside and takes a seat at the side of the house next to Caroline. She had been resting after the long day of driving and moving. Deciding not to wake her, Luke began to rest his eyes and let his mind wander aimlessly as he drifted off into sleep. Opening his eyes, Luke could see the clear night
With a final glance back towards Luke, the child walks away with a devious smile plastered on his face before vanishing from Luke's view. As Luke looks onward, his vision darkens and becomes blurry as he finds himself still sitting down next to Caroline. "Why am I having so many of those weird dreams lately?" Luke mutters out loud as he shakes his head in disbelief. Standing up from his seat, Luke thinks about what he had seen inside the dream world and tries to wrap his mind around what had happened. After all, not everything was just a dream. It was real. And if the decrepit child was right, then he couldn't just leave things up to Jeremy. But what could he do to help? It wasn't like he could just hop on and start hacking away at the system. That would be asking too much of someone like him who had no clue what was even happening. He was a total novice when it came to handling anything that complex on a computer. If it was physical work, then he would be able to figure it out no
Why Would his father want him to ruin his own children's image, and why did he need him to do it? Was his father truly that heartless? Was he really that cold? Whatever the case was, Luke felt that he needed to put a stop to it right now. His anger grew with each passing moment and soon enough he reached inside of his car for the still loaded gun. He figured that it wouldn't hurt to take it along with him just in case. It was likely that he would be met with force if he was spotted within the premises. And if that was the case, He would need something to fall back on if there were no other choices. With his car parked in such a discreet area that no one would notice if someone were to pass by. Luke makes his approach towards the large property. Slipping past the unaware gaze of the guards, Luke makes his way towards the backside of the home. He was hoping to enter the home in the same manner as last time. Unfortunately, there was no way that it would be possible. The window was shut
Luke acts quickly and grabs whatever was available to block the door. Although he locked it when he came in, He wasn't sure how long it would last if the guards chose to use force. *Bang Bang* A guard slams his fist into the door from the opposite side, while shouting for him to let him in. "Open this damn door before we have to kick it down." Another guard yells back as his partner continues to pound away at the door with his fists. "Come on guys. Give me a fucking break here." Luke thinks as he turns to look at the window behind him. He wasn't privy to the idea of leaping from the top floor of the manor but there weren't many other options at this point. If he wanted to escape alive, he would need to go with his gut feelings on this one. And with the sound of wood cracking and breaking under the guards pressure, he needed to get going right away. With a deep breath, Luke prepares himself for action as he reaches over to unlatch the window frame and pushes it wide open. He climb
Luke found himself in a large White walled room reminiscent of a hospital. He stood up and took a good look around, seeing that there was nothing here but a few different doorways that seemed to lead deeper into the facility. Luke felt as though he could hear the faintest sound of voices coming from the nearest doorway. He figured that he should take a look around and see if he could track down the source of the voices. It would also lead him closer to his destination. Luke's footsteps echoed off of the white walls as he walked through the barren hallway. He had expected for there to be at least someone else besides him around, but everything was eerily quiet aside from the faint noises he could hear from afar. Carefully making his way past each doorway, Luke continued down the hall, listening closely for any suspicious sounds that might betray where his targets were located. Eventually, Luke arrives at the end of the hall where he finds one final doorway. After hearing voices from
Sitting behind a large monitor was Luke's own father. The one who had also been preventing him from removing the system that was implanted into him. He watched as his youngest son approached. The old man chuckled lightly before waving a finger in front of Luke's face to bring him closer. Luke could feel him staring at him intently from beneath thick eyelashes as he approached towards the monitor. "Hello, Father." Luke states in a low tone while maintaining a strong stare with his eyes. The man's lips turned up in a slight grin as he leaned back in his chair and rested his hands upon his desk. "Well well, if it isn't the little disappointment. How is my favorite little errand boy today?" The man asked with a warm voice. Luke couldn't help but frown at the title 'errand boy' given to him by his father. especially after all he had been put through by him. "Why did you do all of this?" Luke demanded as he pointed the weapon at his father. "Because I had to, dear son." His father repli
"You don't want to do this." Luke muttered with his fist clenched, staring deeply into his fathers eyes. "You've been using me for my whole life. You don't need me anymore and I don't need you. I refuse to be a part of whatever it is that you are planning." "It's a bit too late to share your opinion on this matter, don't you think? If you would have just listened to me and followed the path I set for you, we could have avoided all of this." He spoke before reaching out and grabbing Luke's neck in a firm grip. "And I'll tell you once more... If you choose to defy my authority, then you will die." The man growled as he tightened his grip on Luke's throat. Luke was in complete shock as the old man grabbed him by the throat and squeezed hard. He tried desperately to push up against the hand, squeezing him with all his might and was surprised when his own strength caused the man holding him to respond with even greater force. "You seem surprised." Jameson whispered into Luke's ear. "Do
