Quinn got into his shelter and locked it down. He hoped Mr. Benson would get to safety before the storm hit.

For a moment, he simply sat there. The smile on his face remained, but his mind was already racing.

  • CHAPTER 14

    Quinn had spent days in front of the weather monitor, tracking the storm city by city across the tri-state area. He barely slept at all and he had already gone through more than a dozen sachets of instant coffee. He was looking for deviations from his previous life, and so far the news was good. Almost every major city had flooded, and the storm had killed more than a few people, but the government had thrown together drainage systems under pressure, and as the storm lost strength the numbers improved by the day. People were still told to stay indoors, though the odds of being swept away by the flood outside were much lower now. His shelter sat on elevated ground and was more or less safe from the water."It'll be over in a few days," he told Emily.She was perched on the arm of the couch, eating white bread he'd pulled out of his spatial storage that morning. "But you said it will comes back."He had given her his predictions, the ones he could explain without explaining how he knew

  • CHAPTER 13

    Quinn sat in the den, staring at the television. The backup generator was running through the storm as planned. He leaned back into the couch and rubbed his eyes.He had a lot of explaining to do, and he no idea how to start. How do you tell someone you've already lived through the end of the world? That in another life, you ignored her call, and by the time you understood what it meant, she was gone?Twenty minutes had passed since Emily went into the bathroom. He was starting to wonder if she'd fallen asleep in there when he heard her footsteps. She came in wearing a loose shirt and the sweatpants he'd found in the guest room, rubbing her damp hair with a towel."Tea?" he asked."Please."He went to the kitchen and filled the kettle. He'd stocked enough for months: tea, coffee, bottled water, instant meals stacked in neat rows. Emily sat on the couch and watched him as he prepared it."Are you going to tell me what's going on now?""Yes.""Good. Because I'm still trying to understan

    Quinn waited in his car as the wind blew violently around him. The truck rocked slightly with every powerful gust, and the trees lining the road bent under the force of the storm. Emily was five minutes away, if the GPS location she shared with him was correct. The rain was already slapping roughly against the windshield, running down the glass in thick streams, and he could barely see more than a couple of feet ahead of him.He left the headlights on and the passenger-side door unlocked so she'd be able to find him easily, but he was starting to feel uneasy.Emily was a petite woman, and while he knew it was unrealistic, he feared she'd be blown away by the winds.Two more minutes... If she's not here by then, I'll be forced to go look for her, he thought to himself, determined not to lose her this time around.He counted down the seconds, his heart beating faster with worry as the numbers got lower. Every few seconds, he glanced at the side mirrors, hoping to catch a glimpse of her

    You ruined my reputation Quinn!" Lisa had tears in her eyes as she yelled at Quinn.Quinn was already used to her manipulation tactics from his previous life and nothing could redeem her from the evil her and her family did to him."You planned to destroy me Lisa, I'm just returning the favour" he barely looked at her as the construction workers had already resumed their work. He wanted to humiliate her more but there were more important things right now."I'll make you regret this Quinn" Lisa yelled after him but he ignored her as he received an alert on his phone. It was a red alert for everyone warning them to take shelter from the incoming typhoon but he knew it was a false news.Quinn merely glanced at the notification. In his previous life, this same warning had sent thousands of people into a frenzy, only for nothing to happen.The real disaster would come soon and by then, it would be too late for anyone who wasn't prepared."Keep working!" He yelled to the construction worke

    Quinn frowned at each and everyone of them.He was making sure their faces were engrained in his memory.In the coming of the harsh apocalypse, he would turn his back on everyone.Lisa didn't want to say anything but she knew that his stance was valid.“And you think you can come to my house without a police warrant? Harassing my workers? What level of stupidity.”Quinn said, then the hint of a smile appeared on his face.Wealth was good.Wealth was power.And before money lost its value, he would make sure to appropriately use it.Before Lisa left his house, he had gotten a set of people to follow her.These were easily found on the dark web, he just needed to pay these people.“Since you all have no evidence. I'm going to give you mine.”Quinn took out his phone, and opened the door to this house.Lisa could feel the dread rising from within her.She hated where this was going and there was no way she could leave at the moment.These people held her tight.The spacious living room w
