CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE“That should be really dangerous. Why not destroy it?” Kai asked, but Gerald chuckled before he gave a response to his question.“I don’t think anyone can. It’s so sensitive that even a touch can trigger its force.” Gerald explained emphatically.“Oh, is it safe to keep it here? Won’t it explode or something?”“Relax, Dave. The room is tightly shielded with a unique temperature that covers the Beamer with enough force that prevent it from going off. Nothing can go close to it, besides, the Committee is safely guarded.”“You never can be so sure, Gerald. If anyone lays his hands on that thing, he could destroy the entire city with it.” Kai argued, but his words only made Gerald get into a short period of thinking, while he stared at him.“Ok, calm down Soldier. I don’t know where you are getting all of that thought from, but I need you to calm down, okay? Nothing is going to go wrong. I assure you of that.” Gerald said with a firm voice and continued to look at Dave

CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO“I will be right back, Mum,” Kai said with a whisper.“Did you say something?” Gerald asked, following Dave’s eyes as he looked toward the D-quarters as well.“Me? No, I was just thinking about the guys I went to the dimension with, they were really close to me.”Gerald said nothing for a few seconds, while he kept his eyes in the direction of the quarters for a while before he sighed and returned his face to Dave.“Sad what happened to them. I guess no one is really prepared for all of this. It just happens in a flash and takes whoever it wants.”“Yeah,” Kai responded softly to the words he heard from Gerald, even though he wasn’t really sure of what they meant.They continued walking through the path by the right side of the building until they got to a corner, where a blue truck was parked. Gerald pulled out a car remote from his pocket, and pressed the button twice, causing the car to make a beep sound.“Is that your car?” Kai asked at once, with his eyes admir

CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREEKai was never expecting the question he got from Gerald, but he managed to think of something to respond as soon as he could.“The man who was with Mr. Michel thinks it was caused by the radiation in the dimension, they think it messed with my genes or something,” Kai explained and looked at Gerald, hoping he was going to believe him.“Oh, really?”“Yeah,” Kai said at once in response to Gerald who sighed heavily and nodded his head twice, without taking his eyes off the road.“He could be right, I mean, one of the S-rankers who went on a mission to an abandoned lab came back to discover that she had strange abilities after she was struck by a strange lightning inside the lab,” Gerald explained, turning to look at Kai who remained silent, even though he was glad that he didn’t have to go further with his explanations.“Crazy right?” Gerald said, realizing that Kai had a particular look on his face, which wasn’t the normal countenance he was used to.“Yeah, she s

CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR“Door unlock,” Gerald said, looking at the door, and he got a response from a male automated voice that was similar to the one Kai heard at the headquarters.“Identification please.” The voice said from inside the door, and Gerald looked at Kai with a smile on his face, signaling to him to do the needful.“Eem, Kai Rivers,” Kai said, stepping right in front of the door while Gerald stepped away.“Identification confirmed! Welcome, Mr. Rivers!” The voice said at once, and the door made a clicking sound, causing Kai to look at the handle at once.“Go on, grab the handle.”Following Gerald’ words, Kai slowly grabbed the handle and pulled it down gradually. The door opened at once, and he turned to look at Gerald.“Go ahead, it’s all yours,” Gerald said with a smile, gesturing to Kai with his hands to step into the house.Kai looked into the house, but he wasn’t getting a clearer view, and to ease the curiosity that lingered inside him, he stepped into the building at

CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVEKai stared at the blue truck right in front of him for a while, not able to say a word as his mouth was wide open, yet he remained speechless.“Is this…Is this my car? Am I really going to be driving this?”“What do you think?” Gerald responded calmly with a smile on his face, and then he took his eyes off the car for a few seconds and turned to look at Kai who was still standing in utter bewilderment.“Go on, you can try it. The key is inside.” Gerald stepped forward to the car and motioned to Kai to move toward the truck as well.“I can’t believe this,” Kai said calmly, as he walked slowly to the car, unable to express the way he felt exactly. He pulled the handle of the driver’s door, and the door went back with his hands as soon as he pulled it to himself.He got in slowly, and just like Gerald said, the key to the truck was inside the vehicle, waiting for him to turn on the engine.“You wanna take a spin? I think we have about an hour before the convergence a

CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX“Mm-hmm. So, chap-chap! Let’s go grab some food, now that you have mentioned it, I think I am famished.” Gerald pretended to be yawning, but it was very much obvious to Kai that he was taking it.“I need to get some drugs, Gerald. It’s really important.” Kai turned to look at Gerald, with his face as plain as it could ever be, probably because of the tension that remained inside his mind and lingered each moment he was reminded that his family was still unattended to and could have been sick.”“Oh, no!”Gerald exclaimed loudly, loudly, but Kai got really confused, wondering what he had to speak loudly.“What is it? Did I say something wrong?”“Are you dying? Is that why you looked so unhappy? I am so sorry, I didn’t know you were passing through all of that. Tell me, was it because of what you went through in the dimension?”“What? No! What the hell are you even talking about? I am not dying, okay? How can you even think about that?”“Oh, “ Gerald said with a little

CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN“Do you know where the Cafeteria is located?” Gerald asked from behind Dave, causing him to stop instantly. He turned around slowly and looked at him, realizing that there were several things he really didn’t know anything about, especially regarding the Awakeners Committee.“Come on, this way,” Gerald said calmly, taking a right turn. It was obvious that Kai didn’t know where the cafeteria was located through his countenance, and he didn’t see the need to wait for a response from him.“Right, I went the wrong way.” Realizing that he had wasted his energy walking in the wrong direction, Kai turned slowly and followed Gerald who walked slowly, expecting him to join him sooner.In less than a minute, Kai was right beside Gerald, holding the drugs in both hands and making sure he walked side by side with him.“How come you don’t know anywhere around here, yet you were an F-ranker?” Gerald broke the silence between them while they sauntered through the hallway. He tu

CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT“Yes, that. My father used to work with a scientist just before he retired, and he told me about most of his experiments, and how people called him crazy for being very ambitious. Today, the discovery of Professor Gerald’s tone has changed the story of the universe.” Gerald said with a smile, and then he increased the speed of his steps, forcing Kai to walk faster.“His story was always my source of motivation, and when it was time for me to touch the Awakener device, I was really hopeful that I was going to awaken a good talent. It came as a surprise that I was an S-ranker, even my father couldn’t believe it. But here I am.” Gerald concluded with a smile, and then he spread his arms apart and kept them that way for a few seconds. He brought them down gradually and turned his face to the left.“There, that's the Cafeteria.” He said calmly, and then he turned toward the passage by the left, while Kai did the same.The sweet aroma of the food that cascaded into Dav

CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINEGerald sighed heavily, and it became really obvious to Kai that he was trying to let out a heavy burden inside him, which was obviously from an experience of pain.“You know… I used to believe that love existed until a year ago, now that sounds like a fantasy to me, pure fantasy.” Gerald adjusted himself on his seat, and even though he was silent for a few seconds, Kai knew he wasn’t done talking, and he just kept quiet and looked at him.“I adored her, I treated her like she was everything I had, but when I thought I finally had the chance to give her the life she deserved, I found out she had been cheating on me, with a security guard, what do women really want?”“Okay, calm down, Gerald. It’s not that bad.”Oh, you think? It’s really terrible! It’s the worst thing that could have happened to anyone. Do you know what it means to be with someone for over two years, and when you think you finally have the chance to take care of her, some guy shows up and proposes

CHAPTER EIGHTY“Right. You sound so sure.”“I know it. Maybe you should talk to the girl we met downstairs, the one you were admiring.”“Who? Jessica?”“Mm-hmm.” Kai nodded in affirmation.“Hell, no. I disagree.”“Why not? She is hot.”“I know, but she looks like she has a boyfriend.”“How can you tell? Have you ever seen her with anyone?”“That’s the point, Dave. She doesn’t speak to anyone, no one at all. All she does is do her tasks and leave. She barely attends any social gatherings.”Gerald shook his head, but it was unclear to Kai why he did that.“That still doesn’t prove anything, Gerald. If you care about her, I think you should go for it. Who knows? She could be the one for you.”“Nah, I think I will pass.”“Here you go! Ready and steaming.” Selene appeared unnoticed from their back and placed the two plates she was carrying on a tray in front of them, one after the other. The aroma of the mashed potatoes and the grilled fish went straight into their noses, and they took it a
