Something is wrong.

Az could feel it. Him and the other latter worked to trace the signature and when they did , it was active as said. Az therozied being active meant it was in motion, not by being moved from one destination to the other but to perform.

The location was pinned upon. Retrieving it was necessary before it falls into the wrong hands but their trump card was beyond reach.

“Can you not get through to him?”,

“I can... but for some reason, he isn't responding.”,

Az had sent a signal to Mondays' phone and even deployed a more suitable alarm that would trigger his enhanced hearing capability but it looks useless as it seems.

“I have tried reaching out to him but he isn't responding back.”,

“Talk about responding back, those guys are moving in fast!.”, The latter alarmed as his eyes caught the black circles pushing towards the generators' location.

“Fvck this!.”,. Az muttered underneath his breath and ran his hand around the system. Doing something that caught his partners attentions.

”What are you doing?”

”Tracking down Monday.”

Az makes another click and the system responds without hesitation.

"Crap!.”, Az cursed, with a hint of annoyance. “I can't track him down either, his phone must be disconnected or something! ”

“Well what are we going to do?”, his hand folded as Az looked back at the screen.

“I don't know. We're just going to have to wait...”, he paused a little and took a deep breath. “...and hope some miracle happens because at this rate anything can happen with that shit active.”

“Okay... tell me something ”, Excitement stood in her expression as she spoke.

“What?”,

“Do you love me that much?”,

Her question juggled Mondays' head as he raised a brow. “Why not?”

“Then why did you ghost me for so long.”

“I was busy, look... we don't need to have this conversation right now. ”, He sighed. “Talking about what and what not occured in my absence will make things weird.”, His eyes slowly rolling to the side.

She made a little humming sound and draws in for what seems to be a kiss but she stops halfway and stares at Mondays' eyes, for some reason, she couldn't stop smiling while gazing at it.

“If you don't want to talk about it... fine, but... you better not be keeping anything from him. You know I am gonna find out. ”, her voice almost whispers.

Under the dim lights and within the barriers of tranquility, Mondays' phone laid on the table, screen blinking non-stop indicating Az trying to reach him but it was silent accompanied with no vibration.

“Can I ever hide anything from you?”,

“Hmmm... well you have hided few things from me in the past.”

“Was it intentional?”, he was smiling.

“Do not try to act smart.”, She giggled , smiled a bit and then planted her lips on his. “It doesn't suite you.”,

“Says the girl who isn't scared.”, Monday tickled her and she bursted into short laughs in which she retaliated in-between them. Both of them got rough with each other in a playful way... like really playful.

A slight knock is heard on the door. It comes again and stops.

The couple stopped their rough play.

“Are you expecting anyone?”, Monday asked, looking at the door with curiosity written all over his face.

Jummy got of him and reeled some of strand her hair that were hanging on the side of her face. “...No, not sure.”, she walked up to the door.

Another knock pronounces itself at the door. “Who is it?”, She asked as she steps towards the door.

“I am looking for Monday. It his dad speaking.”,

Monday jerked of the couch in shock. She them fixated her eyes on him. “What the fvck ?”

“Look...”, he ran up to the door. “I can explain...”, he said to her. “I don't know how he found me, but don't worry, I will work it out and I will be right back. Okay?”

She looked away then nodded slightly and heaved a sigh before looking back to him. ”Alright.”

Monday shuts the door close as he stepped out to meet the person claiming to be his dad.

Standing outside appeared to be a black man in a tuxedo. You could tell that he was carved in wealth, judging from the gold watch on his wrist.

You could tell he wasn't looking happy, the blue clouds in his eyes raged thunder in them and Monday sighed at just looking at them.

“What the fvck are you doing here? and the fuck is the matter with you, you aren't my dad”,

The man placed his hands in his pocket and looked at the door before turning away from it and walked back down the hallway towards the exit. “Come with me. We have to talk, it urgent.”

“But...”

“Now!.”

They came outside towards a black bugati Chiron that was packed outside.

“Yo! Professor, can you at least tell me what's wrong? why bring me out hear?”

The sane man entered the vehicle and kick started the engines.

“Prof--”

“I believe your super hearing isn't faulty. Your phone might be silent and out of reach but I am sure of your super hearing isn't.”,. he uttered with a fraction of his face covered in disappointment and drives away.

Monday held a awkward look as the man drove away. “What the hell is he talking ab--”, he stopped talking, his enhanced level of hearing kick started immediately.

Picking up the all round signal Az had put out to reach out to him.

“How didn't I get that??? fvck!.”, Monday took out his phone. “Great... I am in so much trouble,

“What are you doing now?”

“Trying to see if I get hack into any security camera there. Since it coming from an abandoned factory across borders... there should be a slight chance of ... got it!.”,

The scenario displayed right before their very eyes, Armed men were rushing into the building. All camera displayed different parts of the factory, nowhere was left out.

”Az! take a look at that.”,. Az sharply threw his eyes to another display as his partner alarmed him.

“What the hell is that?”

The men pushed in into a circulated chamber , their eyes on a seemingly burning figure.

“Fire!.”

The armed men started shooting but all bullets were deflected before they could even reach the figure. The all black figure appeared tainted in burning flames.

It slowly looked up and saw the men that were firing at it. It eyes glowed extremely bright , so did the fire around it.

The men soon stopped firing, realizing that their bullets were just as useless as their hopeless guns. They stared at the figure , washed up in their fear as the figure didn't respond to their bullets, the barrier of fire that surrounded it was crazy.

“Run!”, they said and ran for their lives.

The figure slowly raised it head up. Eyes shinning brighter than the sun...

Outside.

As the men preys towards the exit. An all round explosion occurs, taking them all out alongside the factory.

Az and the latter is taken aback by the blast. Az heaved a deep breath and shook his head for a second and looked back at the screen in shock. “That... was... Insane!.”, the latter exclaimed.

Az shook his head, clouded in confusion as he took one more look at the explosion. “What the hell was that?”
