"Hey."
"What did you call me here for?"
"I- I found the identity of our controller."
"Really? Cool! Who is it?"
Star One looked at him. "Max Schneider."
"Who?"
"Max Schneider. Jewish business tycoon. Married twice and has two kids; a boy and a girl of the same age. Lives with his family here in Westbrooke. Here," she turned the laptop to face him and he stared at the screen.
"Oh. That's... well, unexpected. I know this guy."
"He's the department head who's been giving us orders. And he's given us a new one now."
Alpha Star sighed. "What now?"
Star One frowned. "Don't be like that. We get paid really well and we've already had a slip-up."

“Once upon a time, there were two sisters. Riley and Rachel Heiner. They were complete polar opposites. Riley was two years older than Rachel, and was a big-time rebel. She defied her parents and partied all night. She got herself a tattoo when she was sixteen and a piercing at seventeen. She was a popular cheerleader at her school and wore shocking outfits. She could down shots quicker than she could solve sums. She was nothing but trouble. Meanwhile, Rachel was an introvert. She was a complete sweetheart and was gentle and caring. She was a straight A student, an all rounder. She never did anything against her parents’ wishes. She was the one who cleaned up after Riley’s messes, the one who drove her home when she was too drunk to drive, the one who covered up for her sister’s disappearances. Nevertheless, they always got along well. There was just one problem.“They loved the same guy.“

One push and they’d fall into the sea.Lucas and Zehra were sitting on a cliff overlooking the sea. It wasn’t very steep, so the fall wouldn’t be fatal.“You should talk to him,” Zehra said, swinging her legs and enjoying the sea breeze.“Don’t swing your legs so much, it’s dangerous.”“What’s your problem?”“What?”“Why are you so overprotective?”He shrugged. “You were saying?”Zehra smirked. “I was saying you should talk to Ryder.”“No.”

I have to say, I'm kinda disappointed,” Alpha Star said smugly.Zehra's heart thudded frantically in her chest and she couldn't help but feel like a trapped rabbit. Alpha Star and Star One were leaning casually against the door, their mask of nonchalance betrayed by the evident triumph in their voice.“I told you the phosphorescent wisps would work,” replied Star One.Zehra crossed her arms and gathered all her courage to appear calm and unruffled.“If you’re done with your little moment of victory, I’d like to leave.

She could see it in her peripheral vision. It was there, out in the open. The muted moonlight filtering through the high windows gave it a sinister gleam. But how could she take it? There were so many people around... too many witnesses. Keeping it in sight, she moved forward nonchalantly, hands tucked into the pockets of her dark robes. Her pulse increased as she neared it and slowly, casually she stretched her hand out, almost reaching it. People around her began to notice so she extended her outstretched hand, just a little more but–Zehra woke up with a start. She lay in bed with her eyes wide open in the dark, breathing heavily. As usual, she tried to remember what the object in the dream was. What had she been reaching out for? The dreams always ended in the same place, abruptly. It was making her nervous; strange recurring dreams just weren’t her cup of tea.Breathe in, breathe out.“Zea!” her mother yell

Nora closed the medicine cabinet with a sigh. The pills were nearly over. She sat on her bed and thought about how far she’d come. She had early memories of travelling all around the world with her gypsy parents. The carnivals, circuses, parades. Endless nights in the Sahara Desert and the pure, unadulterated joy of seeing the pyramids. Travelling by ship to India and seeing the grand splendor of Taj Mahal. The journey that was worth the exhaustion when they saw Machu Pichu. Those had been good days. But soon, too soon, trouble had arrived. Their happy little gypsy community turned in on itself. And that wretched, fateful night when a drunken brawl led to the death of her beloved father and later, her mother...Nora had been trying to forget her terrible past for years now, but it still appeared when she least expected it. Sometimes it still haunted her, the vivid images of her father’s death and the day she heard that her mother plummeted to death f

The two people sat next to each other on the worn-out couch. The only source of illumination in the dark, dank basement was the laptop in front of them. They were wearing identical black hoodies and black jeans, with a metallic mask covering the lower half of their face. It distorted their voices, which was convenient because they weren’t supposed to know each other’s identity.“We need code names,” one said to the other, typing away on the laptop.“Alright, I’ll be Star One,”“I guess that makes me Star Two?”“Yes, of course.”“Ha ha. Not happening. If you’re Star One, I’m Alpha Star.”“That’s not–”“Deal?”Star One sighed. “Deal.”"I'm assuming you're a guy...?" asked Alpha Star.Star One rolled their eyes. "Assume whatever you want,""Okay bas

Zehra turned to find Lucas gazing intensely at her, and blushed. She cleared her throat pointedly."Um...?"He smiled, looking slightly starry-eyed. "Zehra I-""Luke, no."Zehra was no oblivious fool, she knew what he was going to say. "I'm sorry Lucas, but we," she gestured to the two of them, "cannot happen."He looked pained. "Zehra...""I'm sorry Luke, I see you as a brother, no less, no more."He nodded curtly and looked away. Zehra immediately felt guilty and tried to change the subject."Horrid weather, huh?" she winced as soon as the words left her mouth. The weather? Seriously?Lucas just nodded and said nothing. What had started as a lovely day was now rapidly going downhill. Zehra shifted uncomfortably as the air grew thick with tension. Suddenly, the carriage jolted and they slowly descended. She

“And you went?!” asked Lucas incredulously. “Are you out of your mind?!”Zehra rolled her eyes. “What was I supposed to do, sit at home like a coward?”“He could’ve harmed you. You could’ve been killed!”“Come on. Stop being so dramatic.”They were sitting on one of the benches in Central Park. She’d jogged out of the woods and run into Lucas.“Next time, please don’t be so reckless. Don’t…” he swallowed and gritted his teeth. “Don’t let your anger get the better of you.”Zehra looked at him. He’d suddenly tensed and looked agitated. “Are you okay?”He was silent for a while and then got up.“Come on,” he said. “I want you to meet someone.”Th

Zehra opened her eyes and saw Nora curled up into a ball next to her, sleeping contentedly. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the time. 4:50 am.The previous night, Nora and Ivanka had refused to let Zehra return home alone. So Ivanka had gone home while Nora had accompanied Zehra and slept over at hers.Zehra brushed her teeth, took ablution and prayed. Nora woke up at 5:00 am.“Morning, sleepyhead.”Nora looked at the clock. “Five?! It’s not morning, it’s night!”She yawned and pulled the covers over her head. Zehra chuckled and waited, counting in her head.Three.Nora turned to the right.Two.She curled into a ball and then stretched out.One.Nora groaned and sat up. “My sleep ditched me!”
