All Chapters of The Nexus Point : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

MAXINEI walked alongside Klaus, my heart heavy with grief. We were carrying my mother's lifeless body, her limbs limp and cold. I couldn't believe she was really gone. It felt like just yesterday we were laughing and joking together, and now...now she was nothing more than a memory.As we approached Vortex, I saw McKenna standing outside, her eyes scanning our approach. Her gaze landed on my mother's body, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of recognition. But it was quickly replaced by a mask of indifference.McKenna's eyes met mine, and I expected her to say something. To offer condolences, or to ask what had happened. But she said nothing. She just stood there, her expression unreadable as she leaned in for a hug and I felt all the emotions I had bottled inside overflow. The tears, anger, resentment, came all at once, something about her hug was warmly comforting and intentional and was just what I needed.But she said nothing. She just stood there, her silence a palpabl

MAXINE I sat on the meeting room at the barracks, my eyes fixed on Klaus as he walked towards me. We hadn't spoken about what happened last night, but the tension between us was evident especially after waking up alone on my bed.Klaus sat down beside me, his eyes locking onto mine. "About last night," he said, his voice low and husky.I nodded, my heart racing with anticipation. "Yeah?"Klaus took a deep breath, his eyes never leaving mine. "I know we got caught up in the moment, but we can't let our emotions get in the way of our work. We have to stay focused."I nodded in agreement, my mind racing with the implications. We had crossed a line last night, one that could potentially jeopardize our mission."I know," I said, my voice firm. "We can't afford to let our feelings get in the way. We have to stay professional."Klaus nodded, his eyes still locked onto mine. "Exactly. We have to keep our priorities straight."We sat there in silence for a moment, the tension between us still

MAXINE I stood at the designated spot, my eyes scanning the surrounding area for any sign of Shane or the Synod. Pen and Eric flanked me, their faces set with determination.But as the minutes ticked by, it became clear that something was off. Cora wasn't showing up, and Shane was nowhere to be found.I frowned, feeling a sense of unease. This wasn't like the Synod. They were always so predictable, so eager to prove their power.Just as I was starting to think that something had gone terribly wrong, my Comm rang. I answered it, expecting to hear Cora's voice on the other end.But instead, it was Klaus."Max, we have Shane," he said, his voice low and urgent.I felt a surge of surprise. How had Klaus managed to get Shane? And why was he calling me now?"What do you mean?" I asked, my mind racing with questions."We have him," Klaus repeated. "We need to get out of here, now. Meet us at Vortex immediately, the old hideout."I exchanged a look with Pen and Eric, and we quickly nodded in

MAXINE I walked into the room, expecting to see Shane still recovering from his ordeal. But instead, I found him sitting up in bed, looking more alert and curious than I had seen him in days."Hey, Max," he said, his eyes locking onto mine. "I've been thinking. Can you tell me more about this place? Where are the people?"I felt a surge of skepticism. Shane was asking questions, and I wasn't sure if I should be answering them. After all, he had just been rescued from Synod. How much could we really trust him?"It's a safe haven for now," I said finally, trying to keep my answer vague. "A place for people like us to hide out and plan our next move, it's not like you are not aware of everything we have been doing here."Shane's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing. "No, I wanted to know more, I mean you guys basically saved my life?" he stated. "What do you guys do here exactly?"I hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. But something about Shane's expression made me think that he already

SHANE I sat down at the computer, my fingers flying across the keyboard as I composed a message to Arlo. I had been wanting to update him on what I had learned so far about Vortex, and now seemed like the perfect opportunity."Hey Arlo," I typed. "I've been digging around and I don't think I've found any interesting info about Vortex. From what I have been able to gather, it's some kind of underground organization that's is fighting against the Synod, it's the usual things we know about them, they still don't fully trust me yet. They seem to be a pretty secretive group, but I'll to learn a bit more about their operations."I paused, thinking about how much to reveal. I didn't want to put Max in danger, but at the same time, I knew he needed to know what was going on. That was our deal, they let me go and I get information for them and in return they won't hurt Max."I've also met some of the people involved with Vortex," I continued. "There's a woman named McKenna who is the leader.
