Chapter 20

Havana, CubaSunshades, Hawaiian shirts and shorts, and with a cup of mojito in hand, Ricardo and Megan looked just like every other normal tourist couple in the roadside restaurant they sat down to wait for Ricardo's contact, Sammy on the sunny afternoon.However, anyone who took a closer look at the duo would realize that there was nothing normal- or coupling- about them.For starters, they had barely said a word to one another for the past half an hour they had been seated together; or smiled; or shared any facial expression for that matter that would indicate that they even knew of their proximity to one another. All Megan did was concentrate on the fashion magazine in front of her without turning a page, and Ricardo's attention was on his phone; holding the device

Chapter 21

It was like Megan was having an out-of-body experience when things began to happen around her. One minute, she was watching Sammy talk, and the next, she couldn't even explain how she was supposed to feel about anything.The last moment before Megan became a passenger in her own body was when she heard the bike crash into one of Sammy's bodyguards just behind her and she turned to see the biker, still with his helmet on, take out the remaining three guards in quick succession.By the time the biker pointed the gun towards where she was sitting and shot, she was completely logged out of her functions. She heard a scream as she looked to see Sammy fall backwards in his chair- it was actually her voice but she had no recollection of emitting the sound.Like a machine on autopilot, Megan f

"We're all going to die. That's the big idea, is it?" Sammy asked with a look around the room some minutes after Kei's announcement. He still looked a bit groggy but had to be feeling better if he had the strength to ask the question, at least that was how Megan viewed it."Well, is it?" he asked again.Dani looked to Ricardo, and he to Megan; and she just looked at the ceiling with a sigh. It didn't take superpowers to know that they were all at a loss to what to do.No one bothered to consider Kei at all as the last time Dani tried to strike up a conversation with her- he had only wanted to know if she wanted a bottle of water- she had shot him a glare so stern that if looks could kill, he would have been buried; and even then, she still had a mean look about her that had the others

Chapter 23

Ricardo drove the Jeep up a hill that overlooked the city before he pulled it to a stop. The moment he did, Sammy got out of the car and stomped round it angrily to face him."What the hell just happened back there, Rick?!" he shouted. "No one said anything about getting shot in the chest." He zipped down his jacket for Ricardo to see the dent the bullet had left in his bulletproof vest.Ricardo sighed exasperatedly. He looked over at Megan who was just getting out of the Jeep alongside Kei. She was fine, he saw to his relief. For a moment before, he had actually been worried that she had been hit in the haze of the bullets raining down on them in the restaurant earlier and was just too excited to notice. From what he could see though, she was fine- a little distracted perhaps by the ordeal they just went through, but fine

Chapter 24

"Olympus has been infiltrated," Megan said to Dennis the moment the door slid open to admit her into his office to see him sitting behind his table with his head buried in the tablet in his hand.He looked up from the device, the expression on his face a cross between surprise and confusion. "Please tell me that's a joke, Miss Months," he said."Unfortunately Director, that's something she won't be able to do," Ricardo returned coming in after Megan.Dennis seemed to stop for a few heartbeats at the statement, unable to respond as he watched Megan take the seat opposite his desk and Ricardo make himself comfortable resting against the glass wall."Do you have any evidence to support this wild theory of yours?" he finally asked.

Chersky, Russia"Mum, watch out!"Megan's eyes jerked open as she felt a touch on her shoulder and her sensation returned to the sound of tires screeching against the tarmac. The Chariot had landed, she realized.She looked up to see Ricardo standing in front of the pulled back leather armchair she had dozed off in with a worried look on his face. "Are you okay?" he asked. "You were moaning in your sleep.""I'm fine," she replied, shaking away his hand from her shoulder- he was the one that had jerked her awake- alongside the last cobwebs of sleep in her eyes. "I'm just tired, that's all."Ricardo didn't seem to be buying any part of that expla

Chapter 26

The ride had gone on for about ten minutes before Ricardo suddenly coughed and Megan looked at him. "What is it?" she asked with a look that said that she had been expecting him to say something all along."Well," he looked a bit unsure on how to proceed, "I want to say that I really appreciate you saying that I could be trusted. I know the director would never have allowed me to continue on this mission if you didn't vouch for me.""But I didn't vouch for you, Mr. DiSanto," she returned, her tone cold and impassive. "What I said was that you're a man that will do whatever it takes to stay alive, which is about the only truthful thing about you.""That's not fair, Megan." Ricardo turned to glare at her for longer than she was comfortable with it and for a split second, she feared he wa

Chapter 27

Megan approached the front of the warehouse with Ricardo and Adolf in tow. Nothing appeared to be out of the ordinary as they went- in fact, nothing appeared to be in the environment at all besides the building- but just to be safe, she signaled that they all keep their eyes peeled and be ready for anything at any moment- bad guys tended to have a knack for springing out of nowhere, she thought with a look around, it was highly unlikely they were going to suddenly stop exercising that bad habit.The trio finally got to the building's frontage after about a minute of cautious walking and Megan waved two fingers back at the SUVs; her signal to Kei and Jay to maintain the two minutes count before they came out after them."Alright," she gestured to Ricardo when she looked to see a computerized keypad on the wall, "looks l

Chapter 28

"So, there's more than one Item 13 now. Is that what we're going with?" Kei asked when the group finished opening all the shipment crates and discovered that Megan's deduction was correct. All of the crates had containment boxes potential of being the one used to house Item 13.But there couldn't be more than one Item 13, Megan thought to herself. From what she recalled of the story Dennis had told her, the ingenuity that created the weapon had died with Ernest Ruskin; and even if his supposed apprentice who created the updated version had shared it, it was unlikely that he had the time to pass it on to someone else who then went ahead to create more five years later.Plus, if the group had the technology to create another Item 13, why then did they need go through all the trouble of stealing the original one

Chapter 29

Megan wasn't sure for how long she was passed out but she figured it had to be a long time cos when she regained consciousness, she saw that the sky had become a lot darker than when she and the group had arrived in Chersky.Well, it was good thing she was still alive, she thought to herself, although considering the numerous aches torturing every pore of her body, she sort of wished she wasn't.Megan looked down, surprised to see that she had been put strapped to a metal chair by the hands and legs with steel chains so heavy that she doubted even Adolf would be able to get her out of them if he tried.And speaking of Adolf, she turned to see him hanging from the ceiling of the warehouse- what remained of it after the pulse explosion, that is- by his wings.
