Stephen climbed into the car. It was a hybrid car, and the setting of the backseat was set like that of a living room. It was very comfortable and balanced. As soon as Stephen settled into the car, the door was shut, and the driver drove off. The waitress who was wearing a simple gown was reluctant to look up at Stephen. It was hard to tell what was going through her mind. Stephen took a glance at her. When their eyes met, the lady dropped her head again. Stephen took a deep breath and then looked back to the front. He couldn't really see anything since there was a blind shielding the backseat from the rest of the car. The vehicle looked like something that could be used by the FBI to commence a very classified investigation. "You haven't told anyone about it, have you?" Stephen went straight to the point. The lady took a glance at him and then dropped her head again. From her reaction, it was obvious that that question was the last thing she had expected from him. "You have to
The Mountains. Cory pulled his hand out of the chest of the elderly man! The green gem glowed in his hand as he pulled it to himself. He watched as the man lost his balance and fell to the ground. While he was still staring at the man, savoring the beauty of his victory, he watched as the body of the man started to dissolve into thin air. He didn't want to lose his mind or get blown away. He just kept staring as he watched the wonder happen until there was nothing else to see again. He sighed when the earth became bare. There was no reason to keep getting surprised every time things like these happened. He was no longer a normal human being! As long as he has accepted that fact, then his shock frequency would be automatically disengaged. He tossed the gem into his mouth and started to chew it. It's just like he did the last time. It was the same taste and the same feeling. It was surreal as well as energizing. He shut his eyes as the energy traveled across his body. He could fe
Emerald City. Stephen stepped out of the elevator, walking into the hallway. He headed down the hallway. There was a man following him closely from behind. It was one of the men from the last location where Stephen had spoken to the family of the deceased. Stephen didn't stop until he got to the front of a door. He knocked on the door. As soon as the door budged from inside, he pushed it open almost immediately. "What can I do for you? Who are you?" The security man in charge of the operating room asked, taking a very serious stance. He was about to draw out his gun and aim it at Stephen, but even at that, Stephen didn't look like someone who was in distress or anything as such. "You might want to put that gun down and walk down to me!" Stephen snapped at the man, hardly taking him seriously. "I will ask one more time. I will be very polite this time, and after that, you will not have the right to blame me for deciding to mess you up." The man had cocked the pistol, and it was d
The security man was clueless as to what had just happened. The man has been watching the footage with Stephen ever since Stephen clicked on it. He really didn't see anything too special about the situation that would make Stephen yell at him. But because of the nature of the scream and the urgency in Stephen's tone, the security man turned around at the speed of a lightning bolt. "Mr Governor? Are you alright? Should I come in? Is that bastard being unfortunate again?" The loud voice of the manager was heard piercing through the wooden door. Stephen looked away from the man and back to the screen. He moved closer to the screen and watched closely. "No way." He muttered. He had just watched this video for the seventh time, and it was just ordinary. It was just like the lady had said. It was just as Linda had argued. He was about to look away earlier when he had noticed something strange happening in the video. Like a new detail was added to the video right in front of him. It se
Opposite the large Hamilton airport was a large and open space. Usually, travelers who would not want to wait in the airport premises would hang around in the open space, getting all acts together. Mostly, the ritual of picture taking, vlogs, and several other social media influenced activities were the order of the day there. Amongst the several people who were occupying the open space, there was a long school bus. A couple of the students were outside, and there were a few others making their way out. There were mostly ladies seen around the bus. Only two guys were seen with the ladies. There was a particular guy who had a very compelling height and aura. He was good-looking, and his frame was rather domineering than inviting. This young guy with red hair seemed to be very popular with the girls. While the other guy was not really a sight to behold by the rest. "Let's gather around, please." The red-hair guy called at the rest of the ladies. "I'm afraid we won't be able to st
Cory was seated on top of a mountain. He was taking the position a yoga observer would take. His eyes were shut, and his hair was flowing in the air. The concentration of the breeze was influenced, and the order was tuned to match the frequency of his qi energy. In no time, his whole body started to glow. He wore not clothes, just a pair of pants. His skins looked like the highlight of brilliant lights that were inspired by the fierce rays of the sun. Only that the luminescent was more white than orange. His eyes remained shut. His concentration level continued to highten, and he could feel the aftereffects on his body. Not long after, his body started to shudder. It felt like something deep inside of him was being stirred up. It was more of a contrasting experience.A force deep inside of him was trying to break forth, yet another force seemed to be fighting that urge. It wasn't really a deliberate fight. It was more like a fight inspired by fear and cowardice. The inadequacy of p
Emerald City. Stephen was standing in front of the large gate of the Eagleville estate. He pulled over and stepped out of the car. His mind started to replay a lot of things as he looked from the angle of the area to the other. His mind was very busy. He started to mumble to himself. At first, sane words could not be made from what he was saying until he was intentional. "Who on earth would leave all of these behind only to go to heaven knows where?" He was obviously displeased as he stared at the huge gate. "What did he even do? It was definitely not deliberate. I can count a lot of people who have gone scotfree even after killing children of reputable figures in the country." Stephen sighed. "He's way too modest for this generation. Why would he have to run away to the middle of nowhere just to -" He trailed off all of a sudden as his phone started to ring. He answered the call with immediate effect, not minding that the caller had interrupted with what was going on in his hea
Without having a second thought about it, Stephen dropped the call at once. He accelerated, and off he went. After five minutes of driving, then the reality dawned on him. "Oh wait. What's the location?" He asked the air. He had forgotten to ask the man about the address. He was just too ecstatic when he heard the news. ___In one of the many high-end restaurants in Emerald City, Shieley and Harry were seated next to each other. Sheiley's hand was in Harry's, and they were both staring at another lady who was seated opposite then. "Isn't your name Anna?" Harry seemed certain about the answer to the question, yet he asked anyways. Anna didn't necessarily reply to the question. She only kept staring at him. And when she got tired of looking at him, she shifted her attention to Shieley. "Your call was so abrupt. I didn't even know what to expect." Shieley complained when Anna's gaze was getting quite intense. "By the way, how did you even know where we are? Have you been stalking
