Suddenly, Sabito's door snapped open. A mysterious man walked in. His face was fierce, he wore a suit and his eyes were deadly. Just as Sabito raised his head, the mysterious man brought a gun and "pow!" He shot at Sabito. Instantly, the system pinged… {Time slows down… activated.} The surrounding air suddenly became frozen, and time went in slow motion. Sabito stood up from his chair, walked away from where he sat and immediately launched an attack on the mysterious man.After thoroughly beating up the man, the time zoomed back to normal. The man coughed out blood, fell back against the wall. His legs twisted. Sabito grabbed him by the collar. The system buzzed, {Phone recording…}“Who sent you?” Sabito snapped fiercely. The mysterious man raised his head, looked into Sabito's eyes, then spat at his face. Just as Sabito was distracted, he tried to overpower him with all of the remaining strength in him. But Sabito grabbed him, punched him right on his face. He fell right backwa

The tires screeched as Sabito took a hard turn, but the black car was still on him, each time he looked back, he could still see it trailing him hard.Though he had a head start the car was soon catching up with him, It kept a steady pace, never slowing, never backing down all this while.Every time he switched lanes, it followed. Making it more glaring that he was being trailed…Every time he accelerated, it did too.“Who could that be?” He thought aloud in his mind.He glanced in the rearview mirror, eyes narrowing to the back of the vehicle that was catching up with him.They weren’t just tailing him, and the entire scene behind him was making him more erratic.Sabito’s fingers tightened on the wheel. The last thing he wanted to do was stop.“System,” he muttered under his breath, “you seeing this?” he continued. “What are you going to do about this?" The system beeps...{Tracking unknown vehicles.}{Threat level… Moderate. Prepare for impact.}As if on cue, the black car sped up a

The house was quiet as he pondered through everything once again-Sabito stood in the center of the room, arms crossed as he stared at the screen now dimming slowly He still couldn't get his mind wrapped about the harsh fact of reality that was starting to sink in.All this while, he paced the floor, the silence now heavy In his heart that was racing heavily with each moment that had passed. The man in the chair downstairs hadn’t said a word since that grin and it was starting to give him a different perspective of things, he hated how it made him feel, the entire situation only deepened the pit in Sabito’s stomach as his thoughts racedThe good part of all of this was that he was aware of this more early, it would have been more catastrophic if he hadn't found all of this out before it made the situation more severe.Thinking about it, if he hadn’t discovered this early… would they have tried again?He didn’t have answers, but one thing was clear, he couldn’t let anyone else know

The cold of Rose’s absence lingered long after she walked out the bar door, but he sat there still unable to take a step away, In a way his shoulders felt stiff, one hand still gripping the empty glass in front of him. Her words circled around in his head as he tried to understand it ,but still he couldn't make out anything. It still felt kind of dispatched in his mind as he tried to understand it, still he couldn't. “Damn it.” He muttered. He rubbed his face roughly, leaning back in the seat. What did he expect? That she’d smile and ignore all the signs? That she’d keep pretending like she didn’t notice how far gone he already was? He felt hurt by the fact that she had disclosed everything, that she knew all about what was happening, but didn't want to say anything… Maybe it was just in his head ,but something did feel like she knew. He sighed, waving at the bartender for another drink. As the man poured, Sabito stared down at the polished wood of the table, jaw clenched. He d

“Sabito!”The voice filled the room leaving him more confused as it came urgent through the noise of the hall.Sabito paused mid-sip, the rim of the cup barely touching his lips. He turned toward the voice, blinking as the lights overhead spun. He knew who was calling, but was surprised that she was there, why? Lisa pushed through the crowd, her face pale, eyes wide in shock like she had seen a ghost. There was no hesitation in her steps as she marched straight toward him.“Don’t drink that! Have you by any chance, taken any of it?!” she asked breathlessly, her hand slapping the cup out of his grip. It crashed to the floor, liquid spilling across the tile.Sabito looked at her, confused. “What are you doing?” he felt embarrassed as he looked around.“It’s poisoned,” Lisa said, glancing over her shoulder. “We have to go. Now.” she seemed sure of whatever she was saying.He didn't want to leave at first, but merely looked at her like she was speaking off point.How in the hell could t
