Ethan, Keith and Bruno paced around, their attempts to call Trevor were unsuccessful. “Do you think he knows? Perhaps he found out that Leilani and the children are no longer in the house,” the legion commander suggested. Bruno shook his head. “There's no way they would know, they don't really have so many men in Ivar. Me and the two guys who were killed were all they had here in Ivar. There will be nobody to help them confirm this.”Keith paced around. “Maybe they went on a mission or something or he's just not with his phone, we should try again later.”“No, Trevor is a very intelligent man. If he notices that all of a sudden we're calling constantly, he's going to get suspicious. Let him see the missed call and call back, we just have to be on standby.”They all nodded. The doorbell rang and Ethan slowly inched to the door, he peeped through the window to check who it was and then he opened the door. The man from earlier who had delivered the car, was standing in front of them wi
Skyler grunted in frustration, kicking, punching and slapping the interiors of the elevator. “No! No no no! Not today! Ugh!” She cried in a frustrated tone. She took a peek at her wrist watch, she had about 5 minutes to get to class. “Help! Help! Somebody help!” She screamed from inside but it was as if the elevator was down. Eventually she sat down on the floor and cradled her knees to her chest. It was already bad enough that Mr Timothy had a bad impression of her the first time they met, now this was happening again for the second time. Her phone buzzed with a notification, indicating that someone sent her a text. She picked it up and opened it, realizing that it was Raul. “Mr. Tim just stepped into the class,” the text message read. She started tapping away on her phone screen. “I know, I should have been there already but I am stuck in the elevator in the science building,” she responded. “Oh my gosh, I'm sorry? I'm coming.”Her eyes widened when she saw the message. “No, d
Leilani's panic began to grow. Her heart was beating faster and she placed her arms on her waist, straining her eyes to see if she could catch a glimpse of Keith or anyone that looked like him.She covered her mouth with her palms and then exhaled. What if the worst had happened? Would she just go ahead without him? She couldn't. It's not like she would even know her way around.Her mind was still preoccupied with thoughts when her daughter looked ahead. “Daddy!” She exclaimed and then rushed forward. Leilani tried to reach out and grab her daughter but she wasn't quick enough. She was about to open her mouth and reprimand her daughter for just running off like that when she raised her head and saw him.Relief washed over her as she was to hug him. “What happened? Why did you take so long? I was scared, I thought something had happened to you.”“The taxi that I was in had a flat tire.”He recalled how they were driving when a sudden pop sound resonated in the air. The driver instantl
Trevor cracked his eyes open, he was lying down on a bed in a dimly lit room. His head instantly began to spin as he tried to sit upright, making him lie back down. He pressed his temples with his hands and his face twisted. “Ugh… where am I? What happened?” He said in a dry voice. “The doctor tried to escape.”Remembrance flashed within his mind. “That stupid doctor! I knew he was up to something. We shouldn't have trusted him. Where is he now? Did he escape?”The man standing beside him shook his head slowly. “He tried to steal the speedboat but I shot at it and it exploded. There was no way he would survive that. The whole thing went in flames.”He got up on his feet, trying to fight the effect of gravity. “So where's his body?” “We didn't find a body, he must have burnt to a crisp or something.”Trevor grabbed his collar tightly, pinning him against the wall. “You fools! The speed boat exploded in the water, you couldn't find a body and you think he's dead?”From the entrance,
“Ethan?! Ethan!” She called out, her voice echoed in the empty space, bouncing off the walls. She was standing in what seemed like a hallway, an empty one. She turned her head around, adrenaline rushing through her veins she searched for him. A white fog began to form, covering the ground for as much as you could see. It began to envelope her legs too and soon the whole hallway was bathed in fog, she couldn't see a thing. She turned around, face twisted in confusion. “What? What is this? What's going on?” She said, mostly to herself. When she raised her head, she caught a glimpse of the darkened outline on a man standing in the distance. “Ethan!” She cried and then began running towards him. The clicking of her heels against the floor filled the air as she got closer to him. She leaped forward, expecting to crash into his frame but she simply phased through him and fell to the ground, landing on all fours. A grunt escaped from her lips. She turned back, looking over her shoulder
There was a thud as Bruno slammed the wad of cash against the table top. “I counted everything, it's a complete 4000.”Ethan nodded. “Take the money and help your family, you're free from Cyrus now.”He didn't need to be told twice. As he was about to walk out the door, he paused. “You know you're going on an extremely dangerous mission right? Cyrus is not one to be messed with, especially if you're going to be working directly into his domain.”Ethan smiled lightly, “Oh don't worry about me, worry about him.”With that Bruno was on his way, leaving Ethan in the safe house. He called Natasha. “It's about time, I didn't hear from you in a while and I actually started to think something had happened. Valerie has been calling, she's worried,” Natasha reported to him. He heaved a deep breath. “The next time she calls, tell her that I am okay and I'll soon be home.”“That's what I've been telling her, she wants to hear it from you. I think she wants to speak with you.”“That won't be po
Valerie made her way through the sea of people, stopping in front of the unconscious man who was barely breathing. She squinted her eyes as she looked at his familiar features. “Valerie,” Monica called out as she struggled to pave her way through the shoulders blocking her. “I know this man, he's the doctor that treated Skyler,” Valerie whispered under her breath. Her friend was completely oblivious to what she was saying and just stood there, confused.“Somebody, help! Get the paramedics!” Valerie instructed, getting down on her knees and holding his head. She pressed her ears against his chest to check if he was still alive. Eventually, she could detect a faint pulse which translated to the fact that he was alive. With her palms on his chest she began pumping, doing chest compressions. She was counting under her breath, forcing air into him through his mouth. His body jerked as he let out a cough, his chest rising and falling irregularly. Water sputtered out of his mouth like a
Adrenaline surged through Ethan when he heard those words. His identity had been blown. He sprung to his feet, landing a powerful punch against the officer's nose. A sickening crunch indicating that his nose was broken sounded. The other three officers in the background immediately took to defense and charged at Ethan. However his military training surpassed their police training and he was able to weave and dodge most of the attacks, remaining untouched. He kicked one of them in the torso, sending him flying off the ground as his back slammed against the door. The few people that were in this coach gasped in surprise, grabbing their personal items and scrambling away. Ethan grabbed one of the officers heads and hurled him against the inner walls of the train, knocking him into an unconscious state. “You're going to regret this,” one of the men said, reaching for his gun. Before he could fully pull out the gun, Ethan had lunged forward, his knee colliding with his opponent's ri
