The next morning Julian was ready to drive back home since the purpose of him being in Ontario had been carried out by someone else. He picked up his small bag, picked up his gun and lodged it at the waist of his trousers and then headed to his car. He got into his car, brought out the gun from behind and put it in the compartment box, then his phone rang—it was Stronach. “Hey my friend…… you didn’t call me back to report,” Stronach said in his Russian accent. “I was just about to do that,” Julian responded. “Well, is he dead?” Stronach asked. “Yes, he’s been taken care of” Julian said.“Good, good….. I will send three of my men to your address tomorrow to go save tvoya devushka(your girl). They will handle the matters of getting in and out of Xavier’s mansion…..Poka!(Bye)” Stronach said and hung up. Julian placed the phone in the phone compartment and buckled his seat belt before he kickstarted the car and drove off. ************************************************************

Marve led the way and I followed from behind, my hands bound with a white zip tie as I limped all the way into the basement with Marve. There by the corner was a bed frame with iron spring and a mattress on it with a pillow. I looked around and saw no sign of a toilet or bathroom, my guess was that it was situated outside. I limped towards the bed and sat the moment I was close to it, Marve came closer and without saying any word he cut the zip tie that bound my hand and was about to leave when I let out. “You know this isn’t right!……why aren’t you saying or doing anything?!” I said. He stood there for a while, his back facing me. Then he turned around and looked at me. “I don’t know how you got too entangled in all of this but there is nothing much I can do.” Marve said. “I’m not asking you to do something grand for me, that little which you can do, please do it. Can you please do that much?” I asked. “I’ll bring your painting stuff down here,” Marve said. He said nothing else

It was morning and Julian was seen off to the car by Frederick who wasn't in full support with what he was about to do.“Is there no other way for you to do this?” Frederick asked knowing that he would get the same answer. “Nothing changes Frederick, not now,” Julian said and dropped his little luggage at the back seat of his red Porsche and got into the driver’s seat. He kickstarted the car with the key and drove out of the compound without looking back or goodbyes. Frederick turned around to the head security. “Station more men around the house, there’s a storm coming,” Frederick ordered and went back into the house. ***************************************************************The wind blew against his face and dark hair as Julian drove as fast as he could with the windows wined down. He was still in thought, his right on hand on the steering wheel and his left hand combing through his hair as he tried to arrange his thoughts when a call came in. He switched hands on the st

The security guard who was guarding my room was seen by Xavier by the corner of the stairs having a smoke. He immediately threw his half burnt cigarette on the floor and stepped on it to put out the fire. “Sir,” the guard said immediately.“And why are you down here,” Xavier asked dressed in blue pants and white shirt with a waistcoat, his two hands in his pockets. “The lady requested for whiskey and not to be disturbed while she paints tonight,” the guard said. “She requested for whiskey?” Xavier asked. “Yes sir,” the guard answered. Xavier stretched forth his hand out of his pocket and slapped the guard. “Shouldn’t your position be by her door? What if something happens? How fast are you gonna get up there?” Xavier asked. “I’m sorry sir,” the guard quickly said with his head bowed as he held his cheek. “Lead the way,” Xavier ordered the guard. “Yes sir,” the guard answered and quickly led Xavier up the stairs and to my room. They both finally got to my room and Xavier rest

Julian sat at the balcony of the house, a glass and a bottle of whiskey set on the table right beside him. The head security walks in, eager to share information. “Sir, I've been able to look into Marcus. Turns out Miss Lexi and Marcus are related,” the head security reported. “What do you mean they are related?” Julian asked as he sat up from the resting chair. “Marcus is Miss Lexi’s step older brother. On the records, it says Marcus lost both his parents in a car accident but one of our men overheard him talking on the phone with someone he addressed as 'dad'," the head security said. “Are you saying his parents didn't die in the accident and he knows?” Julian asked. “Actually, I confirmed his mother's death but the father's death hasn't been traced so my guess is yes, his father is still very much alive and communicating with him,” the head security said.“Anything you could find about Lexi?” Julian asked. “The only document I could find about her was her adoption papers, she

I finally made up my mind and decided to take the chance and meet this person who is said to have so much interest in me. I was finally dressed in the black dress, a pair of flat shoes and styled my hair into a low bun, I had my hair in a ponytail in the past days. . I sat right there on the high stool before my half painted canvas, with no idea of how I wanted to escape. I sat and waited for me to be called downstairs, I can’t take the chance of going down before I was called. The door creaked open and a guard walked in. “You’re needed downstairs,” the guard said as he opened the door wider for me to pass through. I stood from the bed and walked out the room, followed by the guard and we both went downstairs. I stepped into the dining room and I could see Xavier seated at the other end of the dining table with a pretentious smile on his face as he beckoned me to come over with his hand. Then I saw the back figure of another man seated at the opposite end of Xavier’s seat. I cou

MAX Yet again another brain signal test, this time being handled by River. I lay on the hospital bed, trying to calm my racing thoughts as River attached sensors to my head and wrists. He was running some special tests on my brain to measure my energy levels, and I was more than a little nervous."Okay, Max, just relax," River said, his voice soothing and calm. "This is going to be a piece of cake. Or, you know, a piece of pie. I'm more of a pie person myself."I couldn't help but laugh at his silly comment, and River smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "That's it, just relax. Let your mind wander to happy places."I took a deep breath, trying to do as he said. But my mind kept wandering back to the tests, and what they might show. River seemed to sense my nervousness, and he placed a gentle hand on my shoulder."Hey, Max, I've got an idea," he said. "Let's play a game. I'll tell you a story, and you just listen, okay?"I nodded, and River launched into a ridiculous tale about

MAXI walked up to Klaus, my eyes scanning the training room as I searched for him. I had come to apologize for my tantrum earlier, but as I spotted him, my mind went blank. He was shirtless, his muscles rippling as he moved through his training routine. I felt my gaze lingering on his chest, my eyes tracing the lines of his abs."Max?" Klaus's voice cut through my haze, his tone laced with sarcasm. "You're staring." he said as I felt my throat take a huge gulp.I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I snapped back to reality. "Oh, sorry," I muttered, trying to compose myself.Klaus raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. "What brings you here? I thought you were still pouting in your room."I took a deep breath, trying to remember why I had come. "I wanted to apologize for earlier. I was out of line, and I'm sorry."Klaus's expression softened, and he walked towards me, his eyes never leaving mine. "You were a bit of a brat, but I'm getting used to it, as it seems yo

HENRY I had officially been summoned to Arlo's main office at Synod where I would be led by him to the main base, one I never knew existed and something in me was hopeful, somewhat excited for the new changes to follow this new step in my life. As I entered the grand study, my eyes scanned the room, taking in the opulent furnishings and the stunning view of the city skyline. But my gaze came to an abrupt halt when I spotted her. She was standing by the window, her back to me, her raven-black hair cascading down her back like a waterfall of night. I felt a jolt of electricity run through my veins as I took in the sight of her slender figure, her porcelain skin glowing in the soft light.As I approached her, she turned to face me, and I was struck by the piercing green of her eyes.I stood frozen, my eyes locked on the vision before me. She was a goddess, a porcelain doll with piercing green eyes that seemed to see right through me. They sparkled with a hint of mischief, and I felt my

MAXINEI sat on my bed, fuming as I thought about Klaus and our latest confrontation. Alice walked into my room, a concerned look on her face."Hey, Max, what's wrong?" she asked, taking a seat beside me.I let out a deep breath, launching into a tirade about Klaus. "I hate him, Alice. I hate the way he always thinks "knows better", the way he never listens to me, the way he always has to be in control. And don't even get me started on the way he talks to me, like I'm some kind of inferior being. It's like he enjoys making me feel small and stupid."Alice listened patiently, nodding along as I spoke. But when I finally ran out of steam, she surprised me with her response."I think Klaus is quite charming, actually," she said, a small smile playing on her lips.I stared at her, incredulous. "What? Are you kidding me? He's arrogant, condescending, and completely infuriating."Alice chuckled. "I know he can come across that way, but I think there's more to him than that. I've seen the w

HENRY As I walked out of Arlo's office, I felt a sense of relief and excitement. I had made a decision that I knew would change my life forever. But as I stepped into the hallway, I was confronted with a figure that made my blood boil.Shane, the agent was supposed to be my best friend, my confidant now someone who I did not even trust, stood in front of me, a look of disappointment etched on his face."Henry, I'm surprised at you," he said, his voice dripping with disdain. "I thought you were better than this. But I guess I was wrong."I felt a surge of anger at his words. Who was he to question my decisions? "What are you talking about, Shane?" I asked, trying to keep my cool."I'm talking about your decision to fully join The Facility, you do not know what you are getting yourself into" he replied, his eyes narrowing. "Is your family really worth it, Henry? Is it worth selling out to a organization that's only looking out for its own interests?"I felt a defensive instinct kick in

MAXINE I walked into the practice room, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. I had spent the rest of the day thinking about my conversation with Mckenna, and I had come to a realization. I was not going to let Klaus's criticism get to me. I was going to prove to him, and to myself, that I was capable of mastering my powers.Klaus was already in the practice room, his eyes fixed on me as I entered. I could sense a hint of surprise in his expression, but he quickly masked it with his usual stoic demeanor."Look what the cat dragged in. I didn't expect you to come back. Ready to continue your training?" he asked, his voice neutral with a touch of sarcasm.I nodded, my heart pounding in my chest. I was ready to face whatever challenges Klaus threw my way besides I knew better than to answer him.We began the training session, Klaus pushing me to my limits as usual. But this time, I was determined to keep up. I focused all my energy on the tasks at hand, pouring every ounce of c
