Alex kept staring at his watch, he hated delays. He had already spent two months and two weeks in this town. Even if he was adapting to the environment, he had plans which was yet to come into fruition and he needed to act fast. He sat close to a grocery shop where he bought snacks and soft drinks while he ate, he studied the environment. He admired the hard working boys who sold because it was cheap. The boys knew how to drag customers with words and he loved that. He watched little children hawking and at the same time eating their produce. Opposite him was a woman making popcorn and ice cream while keeping up a warm smile.. He smiled at the queue which waited to have a round of this woman's product. When he was a child he liked patronizing a particular old woman who was close to his house then. Indeed this place was like a mini market with buying and selling taking place. He saw how some teenagers were struggling to run to school so as to avoid being punished since it was already l
Alex arrived at the location which the caller described and he found one of his allies waiting for him in a dark spot. He greeted the man who saluted him in return. "Daniel told me about you" Alex began as the man looked frightened. He rubbed his palms together against the cold and coughed dryly."Just speak up I assure you of your safety" Alex justified as the man smiled wryly and began to whisper some words to him. Alex held the man's palm which he had coughed on earlier and found blood stain on it.Rodger offered Natalie a drink. She had just finished showering and was wearing one of Rodger clothings. She wished to spend the night at his house but she had a father to keep an eye on. She was glad she muted the old man from calling."What a lovely house you live in" she commented with a thumb up."The princess doesn't like her mansion I guess" he posed as she giggled. She only admired the peaceful serene. At least there will be no morning scolding. They had talked alot before their
"Who sent you?" The old woman questioned as she studied Xavier uneased posture. He kept staring at the pavement as though looking for something."Ma...?" He replied pissed off. It was hard for him to lie to an elderly person."Yes am a non-governmental organisation in search of skillful women like you" He repeated as he grapped the glass of juice that sat on the table between him and the woman."Why do you keep staring at my pavement?" She questioned as she scroll down the ID card Xavier handed to her which had his information. Xavier could feel sweat trickling down through his back. This woman was more like a detective. He wondered how Alex fell in love with her or was she something else to him? It was hard convincing this woman to accept his money however he succeeded.He waved at the old woman who smiled back and waved till he entered his car.The little time she spent with this man gave her hope that she could be remembered even by someone who didn't know her much. she had told her
The cool breeze swept across every street reminding them of the season. Alex sat on the dinning waiting for the president to appear. He gazed at the building which was large for an extended family house but rather he housed only two beings. Most of the walls were made of glass. He looked at the beautiful decorations and was pleased with arrangements. He heard footsteps and he Rose up to honor the president but it was Natalie who stood by the stairs. She eyed him and walked up to him."What brings you here" she questioned but he didn't reply."You are at my house okay" she pressed on sitting close to him as she pinned her fingers together in anticipation of a reply but he was mute. She gave up trying to talk to him. He always acted all serious and mean towards her. "Don't just forget about the surgery tonight" she reminded as she ordered the house maid to serve the meal."I wondered how you deceived the old man into believing you" she whispered knowing fully well he was going to switc
"I can do this alone" she pressed on folding her arms but she knew she was praying hard for him to come along."Okay I will be heading home I think my shift is over" Alex snapped as he glanced at his watch. He was used to that. Sometimes, tochee calls him time keeper."I'm heading to the laboratory... If you don't mind..." She paused and folded her lips. What was she saying? Wasn't she the one who claimed she could do it alone."You were saying?" Alex asked as he noticed her legs moving left and right like a chorister."Don't act like you didn't hear" she retort. Couldn't he understand that ladies had their own pride."Well I need to consider first" he replied rubbing his head softly as she gave him a frown. Lucy had sighted this two and was surprised to see Natalie at the hospital around that time."What brings the queen bee here by this hour?" Lucy asked walking towards them and waved at Natalie."Is it wrong for a doctor to come around when patient's life is involved?" Alex questio
Rodger grew furious, how could Natalie trust someone so blindly? When Natalie left, he walked up to Lucy who was silent. He the bar rod and tried to assure her she would be released soon. Her silence always meant something. She wanted to ask who was going to take the blame? But he had already gone. She was behind the protest along with Xavier. She only did that to reduce the pride of this hospital which had so many foes. In her thought, Xavier bashed in to meet her. She was pleased to see him again. Surely he must have something now to bring her out."How are you doing today" she asked in a low tone."Not good..." He paused and scoffed."Why should you ask such when you Know am worried" he muttered as he curb her palms in his. She smiled."It's taking a little longer" she said annoyed."It's still noon you will be out before evening crouches in" he assured and grinned."Seems you are enjoying it here since I haven't heard your protest against what you were accussed of" he teased as he
They arrived at a place where perhaps some of these drones might be found, it was like old times again, attempting to stop Felix and this time, Alex was doing it for good. Lucy got out first and survey the area if maybe it was clear which it was. Alex jumped down and handed her a gun."When will they get here?" He asked squinting his eyes around due to the smoke."It would take an hour, first let's save the world" she responded with a serious look that made him jest at her, she was acting like a captain who was ready to sweep off the enemy in one count and he was motivated by that. Lucy placed an earpod on and quickly brought out a laptop from the bag she hung. Her eyes searched for the locations of where the drones were when Alex could hear people screaming for help. These two motioned to each other and raced quickly to where the sound was from.There were set of people trapped in a bus which was upside down close by wailing and panting for aid. It had collided with another bus causi
The two men crept pass the robots that were programmed to guard the gate that could lead inside. Alex advised they took the back which they did. This company had sections by sections and to cross by, one has to fight with a lot of aliens which had sighted them from a distance. Once they were done with kicking the badasses, they headed straight to where Anastasia could be found. Surprisedly, the villian wasn't there as he had gone to meet up with governmental agencies. His plans were really cunning as he seems to be the only solution the governments could turn since he claims he knew what caused the invasion of aliens in the country, hence he might be termed a hero but now he just wants to control everything under him and see the world burn. They found Anastasia fixed on a chair which had charges, her eyes were focused on a gadget. She was struggling to break through but no one was hearing her. The place was secured that it was difficult to get in."Let's break in" Alex said since the
