"They found us."After those two words, the next thing Zachary heard was the sound of glass breaking. Zachary cursed under his breath. They really couldn’t get any relief could they? He leaned forward and used his body to shield Red like Damien was doing. He glanced at Red, whose color had gone a bit pale. Whatever happened, Zachary knew that they had to get out of this first and alive. "Find and secure the experiments." A familiar voice shouted out. Zachary frowned. Was that Jessica's voice? He shook his head and focused on the matter at hand. Red was slowly bleeding out beneath them, her expression grim."We need to get her to safety." Damien finally spoke, looking at Zachary instead of Red."How do we do that? There's a bloody sniper on the roof and retrievers in the living room." Zachary questioned him, his eyes showing urgency."We'll use conveyance. They haven't found us yet so we should be able to get away with that." Damien replied.Zachary understood and waited for Damien to
Zachary must have sat down there and thought about what had just happened for some time because by the time he came to his senses, the sun outside the room was already setting. He groaned and rested his head on the seat, allowing his eyes to stay glued to the ceiling while he contemplated what they were going to do now that Adrien had threatened them to stay out of his life. Would they keep watch over him from the shadows to protect him from the government? Well, they might not have to since he had been taking care of himself all this while. Would they move on without him? And if so, what would they do? Still be on the run for the rest of their lives? Or would they try to bring the shadow government down? It seemed like that was the most plausible thing to do if they wanted to stop running from them but how were they going to do that when there were only three of them, especially when just a handful of retrievers were a hassle for them to escape from?Zachary groaned again and shut h
“Hey there. Is Damien and Red around?" Adrien asked with a smile as soon as Zachary came into view. Zachary gaped, confused and shocked at his sudden appearance. Weren't they the ones that were meant to be looking for him and not the other way around? How did he even find them?“Uh guys.” Zachary called out to the others, his eyes still glued at the surprise visitor.“Tell him to bring the food in.” Damien said out loud, lounging on the chair and looking through his phone.“It's not room service.” Zachary explained.“What?”“Just come here. Both of you.”Damien and Red shared a look before they both got up from their seats and bolted for the door, their minds alert and their fists ready for a fight if the situation arose. They reached the door and blocked Zachary, using their bodies to shield him when they laid their eyes on him. “You.” Red muttered, her eyes widening.“Hey guys.” Aiden said as he waved, his eyes glancing at all of them before settling on Zachary.“Are you going to
Zachary and Damien had gone around half the hotel and had even made a stop by the casino to check it out. They had already decided to start finding Adrien the next day and since they were already out and about, Zachary had managed to convince Damien to tour the building. A request that Damien reluctantly agreed to but ended up liking. They toured the building for about an hour before their stomachs growled and Damien thought it wise to head back to the room for some food. The duo found their way back to their room just in time to see Red in a robe and her hair in a hig ponytail, devouring a seafood platter. She held a lobster tail to her mouth and slurped up its juices before she realized that Zachary and Damien stood at the entrance of the room, watching her with judging looks."What? I'm hungry and you guys were late." She said as she shrugged and dropped the tail back on the platter. "Where were you guys? I got bored." Red asked the question to no one in particular."We went shopp
Zachary could see Damien shake his head in frustration while Red still marvelled at the sheer fact that one of them was bold enough to show their faces to the world in such a way, when there was every possibility that he could go missing in the blink of an eye. He was on a fucking billboard for Christ's sake and in Las Vegas no less. Damien sighed, his face contorting in slight anger, something that Zachary felt he always resorted to when number one, well, Adrien was involved. Still, he tried to do some damage control as they all still stood there. "Maybe he doesn't know yet. I had no idea or recollectionn of anything when you guys approached me. Hell, I haven't had one decent memory still. This can't really be that bad."Damien scoffed and then sneered at the bright picture."Whether he remembers or not, the shadow government does and if they find him, then it's over for us." Damien deadpanned, not even wanting to think of all the trouble they would be in if anything went bad at tha
Las Vegas. A place where all worldly desires could be fulfilled and lost in the blink of an eye. The place where people go to get rich beyond their wildest dreams. The place where people go missing without any hope of being found. The most sinful den of the world where the rich and powerful thrive off the chaos and sink their claws deeper into greed. That was their next stop. As bleak as it sounded, Las Vegas was also known for its fun and vibrancy. Things that Zachery was not prepared to see. That was where they needed to find number one. The last missing member of their fugitive group. Zachary watched in slight suspicion as both Red and Damien walked out of their rooms with bags and suitcases full of what he could only assume were clothes and toiletries. Where they got them from, he had no idea but for them to arrive at the room empty handed and were now leaving with a boatload of things, he had an inkling that they used their systems."Where did you guys get those?" He asked, stan
It took Zachary approximately thirty minutes for him to undo what Red had thought him to do. It wasn't as hard as he thought it would be but it wasn't easy either. He tried retracing his steps to put the screen back into his mind. It didn't work at first but with time, he managed to do just that and right before Red waltzed back into the living room with a curious look on her face.“Still at it?” She questioned him as she nursed the steaming bowl of ramen in her hands on her way to the seat opposite him.“Just finished.” Zachary answered her with a sigh. He didn't think that it would be taxing but he was feeling kind of tired by the mental work. Still, it didn't stop him from wanting to learn more. They were on the run from the government. It was only a matter of time before they were found and when it did happen, Zachary wanted to be prepared.“Okay. What's next on the list?” He asked, ready to move on.Red slurped a noodle out of her bowl and eyed him.“I'm eating.” She said, shortl
It was the next day and Damien had finally gone out to go on a date with shadow by Red's incessant persuasion. She had dressed him up and made him carry flowers with him as a good gesture. Of course Damien groaned through it all but he did what was necessary. Once he was gone and only Red and Zachary remained, it was time to get down to the real activity of the day. Training. Red and Zachary were sitting in the living room, ready to start the lesson.“So, let's begin.” Red started.“What can you do?” She asked him.“Uh, not much compared to what you guys can do. My system just helps me fight really well. Plus, it can heal me. Well, not heal me per se but it makes my wounds seem irrelevant when I need it to.” Zachary let her know. “Combat and restoration. That's pretty good for a beginner considering. You haven't been able to do anything else?” Red said candidly.“No. I've only found out about the system for about a month now.”“It's still early and you still have a long way to go
Zachary had followed Red and Damien's lead once he was left alone. Surprisingly the room was big enough to have three separate bathrooms. Well, it wasn't a room to him anymore as soon as he found out how big the apartment actually was. He had thought that they were crashing in one room but he was mistaken. They were crashing the suite apartment of the hotel. Regardless it was behind him. He had other things on his mind now. More important things. Questions that he needed to ask also. About his system. Zachary took his bath and went back to the room where they teleported into when they first got there. When he got there he waited for the rest of the crew to come out. Luckily for him Red and Damien entered the living room in about five minutes. They both sat down in random places in the room with Red being further away from both of them and near the large window that overlooked the city. There was a bit of silence in the room for some time, as each of them could feel a tad bit of tensi
