That night, Isaiah could not sleep. And his friends Luke and Jackson were equally worried. Alan had not come in the room yet, despite the fact that the time was already so close to when the gate to the dorm was going to be closed.Isaiah laid down on the bed, his body stretched across it, with the phone lying right on his chest, his eyes wandering from side to side like the flashlight of a wanderer in the night."So Isaiah, you're not going to tell us what exactly is going on now?" Jackson asked, leaning against the wall, with legs across each other as he sat on the bed."We are getting worried about your well-being, Isaiah," Luke began. "What's happening to you, really, that you can't let us know? I mean, look at yourself right now. If you can take a glimpse of the mirror, do it and tell me then what exactly you look like. If that seems like a person that is normal to you.""Luke, you're pushing this so far," Jackson reprimanded. "I don't think you have to talk like that.""I think w

"Killed?" Isaiah repeated, trying to see if the man had somehow meant to say something else."Yes," he said, taking a little look at Elena still standing by the entrance. "The seal on the back of the phone is for you to signal bounty hunters that you are under our protection and should not be killed. I suggest that if you want to keep your woman by your side, you'd be on your best behavior, capeesh?"Isaiah nodded his head. He had absolutely no choice. "Now enjoy your date and the food," the waiter said, walking away. "You're also free to leave if you want. We will keep in touch, regardless." He winked at Elena in a flirty way as he walked away. She rolled her eyes, expecting the man's behavior.Isaiah fell into his seat. He did not know if he should feel relieved that he was now allowed to live in the vicinity or not.Elena took her seat just right opposite him. He saw her through tired and weary eyes. "So how did it go?" Elena asked. "What did the waiter say?" "Well, on the good

Elena did not flinch. Rather, she cocked her head to the side, eyes staring at Isaiah rather widely. "Why did you stop?" she asked."Sorry, the problem is that I don't know if I can tell you," Isaiah said, still shaking."Shh..." Elena hushed, holding his hands. "Don't worry, you can tell me anything. I'll be sure to listen. What's going on? Tell me."Isaiah felt suddenly calmer. It seemed as though it was by magic. His heartbeatslowed down, and his breath steadied."Thank you," he said, looking at her, a smile drawing across his face. Elena smiled back. "Now tell me, what's happening?""Do you know of the Gambino family?" Isaiah asked."I think I've heard about them across this city," she replied, cocking her head once again. "What does this have to do with them?""I am on their watch list," Isaiah finally revealed. "I...I had a little run-in with them a few days back. My friend was kidnapped and I had to get her back. In order to do that, I was made to do a lot of terrible things

Who is calling?" The waiter asked, staring at the phone as though it were some form of bomb."It's...it's my date," Isaiah answered. "I'm sorry; I will cut the call right now. I'll tell her to go back.""No," the waiter said. "Pick up the call. I want you to tell her to come here. Exactly here. You should enjoy your date. However, you're not permitted to leave."Isaiah's hands shook as he held the phone to his face as he picked it up."Hello," he said."I think I am here," Elena said. "Is it that place just across the road? The glass house with a rose bush—I mean garden surrounding it.""Yes," Isaiah said, trying to get his voice not to shake as much."Okay, I am coming," she said.Isaiah cut the call. He fell into a deep dilemma. Was it wise that he was directing the woman right exactly to where he was? Where there was obvious danger, and there was a high chance that he could get shot?'System,' he called in his mind. But he got no reply. It seemed like calling towards the dark. Imm

Elena was fully dressed. She wore a red rosy two-piece dress, with just one shoulder clad. Her hips threatened to spill right out of the dress. She stared at herself in the mirror. It seemed she was incredibly pleased with herself, as she smiled, turning around."What do you think?" She said to Kate."You look beautiful, my lady," Kate said, her tone as unenthusiastic as ever. But there was also a slight chill in her voice. Something that was not too hard for Elena to spot."Is there something you would like to tell me, Kate? Spill it or never say it to me again after I have left this house.""Very well, my lady," Kate began. "There is a little problem outside there right now. The A.M.O. is out to get us. You putting yourself out there might attract them more towards us. And I I don't want you to come to harm, my lady.""Oh, I almost forgot," Elena sighed, wiping her forehead with her palm. "I almost forgot about that drabby institution. Why do they not ever leave us alone? And what's

"System, how do I understand women?" Isaiah asked as he walked back to his dorm.Time seemed to freeze once more, and the system's voice came up. "That is no concern for the system," it said. "Ugh, I knew it!" Isaiah complained in much disappointment. "I knew this is what you were going to say."The system was quiet. "And if I remember," Isaiah continued, "I haven't had an upgrade from the last task I undertook. Why?""You have," the system said. "You just have not checked. But you have, I assure you.""What's that?"The interface came up in a screen of darkness once more, and many features lined up right before Isaiah's view. There was a new icon in the shape and form of eyes."It's the ability to read people's emotions," the system said. "It will come in useful in the future. It would make you more formidable in your endeavors."That's neat," Isaiah said. "I guess I don't need you to teach me how to understand women then? I've already gotten this.""Indeed," the system responded
