The cold metal handcuffed was used to bound his hands as he was being dragged to the Prison's Van. His uncle kept calling him but he refused to spare him a glance.
If he had a supernatural power, he wouldn't have ceased dealing with him at that moment.
All hope was lost as he entered the van and the door was closed.
"Am I really going to prison?" He asked himself, not wanting to believe the situation.
Two drops of tears dropped from his eyes as he tried to sniff in the tears that were threatening to fall.
The prison guards who were staying with him paid no attention to his emotional feelings.
Suddenly, he heard a loud sound outside, which made him jerk away from his thoughts.
The van started shaking rigorously, as if there was an external force fighting with it.
The two guards that sat beside him were surprised, likewise him.
They tried to reach out to the driver, to ask what was the problem was until they heard a very loud sound, when a truck when over the van from the overhead bridge,
Desmond screamed out loudly and everywhere became dark. His van just had an accident.
***
The beeping sound of the machine woke him up from sleep. He opened his eyes Weary and everywhere was dark.
"What's happening?" He thought, trying to stand up but his head was heavy and he couldn't raise his head.
A young lady, putting on a white coat, walked closer to approach him.
"Hi, are you awake?" She asked, checking the beeping monitor.
That was when the reality set in, that he was at the hospital.
He recalled the accident and let out a sigh of relief, thanking goodness that he was alive.
"How is my health? Hope there was no internal bleeding or whatsoever?" He asked the lady, but was shocked about what just happened.
The voice that was ringing in his head was not his, it sounds strange
"Wait, what happened to my voice?" He added, getting up from the bed.
"Hey! You need to be careful. You might collapse again if care isn't taken" the lady scolded him. She was an intern at the hospital.
"Did anything happen to me? What changed my voice? Oh my goodness!" He was still in shock and wanted to leave the bed but the intern immediately pressed the red button to call the attention of the senior doctors. It seemed that he was running mad.
Two doctors entered, rushing to meet him.
"Mr Ryan, how are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with your body? The scan results showed that everything is fine. Do let us know if there is any place that is making you feel uncomfortable" one of the doctors asked.
"My voice, it has changed. What happened to…" he was still asking when he noticed the change of his skin color.
With immediate effect, he removed the drip that was attached to his hand and ran to the corridor.
"Mr Ryan, where are you running to? You still need to undergo some checkup" the intern doctor also ran after him
He stopped at the corridor where he saw a glass door. He glance at his body and realizes that it wasn't him
Typically, his soul was inside another body. The Strange body felt different. The stature, body color, voice and others but his soul was inside the body
He had no idea of the person's name, talkless of his background or family status.
He was beyond shock and fell on his buttock.
"How did I get here?" He asked no one in particular.
"Don't you remember? You are coming from the club. According to your father, you left home in annoyance after a little misunderstanding" she answered.
"Oh my goodness! This can't be happening to me. I think I'm going crazy right now" he murmured, trying not to believe his current situation.
Ana, the lady was wondering if something happened during the surgery. Probably, something that has affected his health.
She rushed to call her senior doctors, and together, they bundled Liam back to his Hospital ward despite his wailing not to be returned there.
He was forcefully given some injections to calm down his nerves. That was when he noticed the beautiful room, despite being a hospital.
"Only VIP patients can afford this" he thought.
"I guess he is going through a Partial memory loss, which makes it difficult for him to recall the past incidents. When the chief director comes back, he will not know what to do about it" Ana was informed.
"I thought as much. It would have been a disaster if he was having mental issues. His father would not take it easy on the hospital at all. I could remember him discussing with the director about taking him out of the country if we cannot treat him'' Ana retorted.
"Taking me out of the country? This guy must have been lucky to have a rich father. Gosh! I envy him" he thought.
"Ehm, can I ask you a question?" He cleared his throat before asking.
"Sure, you can" Ana gave him the go ahead.
"You said I was involved in an accident, where are the other victims or am I the only person that got injured?" He questioned, hoping he would know where his body was kept.
"One of our doctors was involved and some prison officers. One of them died while the other two got a little injury but our doctor is in a coma right now" she humbly answered.
The place was silent that a drop of pin could be heard. It was not apparent that his body was in a coma while his soul got switched.
The new body was younger and handsome. The skin was also smooth and milky. He must have taken good care of his skin.
He was about to ask another question when he got interrupted by the sound of the door opening.
Ana and other doctors had heads bowed immediately.
"My son" the man, in his middle fifty called and rushed to check on his body. He was delighted to see his son.
The face seemed familiar to Desmond in Ryan's body. He was trying to recall his face when the television displayed a video of him at an event.
"The president?" He suddenly blunted out..

The Man Who Survived
The old herbalist didn't speak again after Selene's answer. He simply turned, walked to the far end of the room and opened an old wooden cabinet. Inside were dozens of carefully wrapped bundles of dried herbs, clay jars sealed with wax and handwritten manuscripts whose pages had turned yellow with age.One by one, he placed several of them on the table. When he finally looked up, his expression had grown even more solemn."The ritual will begin before sunrise""Why must it be before sunrise?" Scorpion asked.The old man carefully untied one of the bundles, "Because the boundary between life and death is weakest then"He glanced at Desmond, "And because the longer we wait, the more difficult it becomes to separate two souls that have already begun accepting each other"Desmond lowered his eyes. He didn't need the herbalist to explain any further. He knew they were running out of time, and every hour that passed reduced their chances.The herbalist continued arranging the herbs into sma
Two Souls, One Fate
The convoy carrying Josh disappeared down the mountain road beneath a heavy police escort.The officers immediately began securing the mining complex while medics examined the rescued hostages. Selene sat on the back of an ambulance as a paramedic carefully cleaned the bruises around her wrists, but her eyes kept searching the crowd until they finally found Desmond.He was standing alone near the edge of the ridge, looking out across the valley.The wind carried the distant sound of helicopter blades overhead, but even that couldn't disturb the strange emptiness settling inside him.Ezra was the first to walk over, "It's over", he said, but Desmond didn't answer.Scorpion joined them a moment later, "The President has already announced Josh's arrest. Every news station is carrying it live", he also tried to make Desmond react, but he remained silent.For the first time since waking up in Liam Andrew's body, he felt completely empty.

The Fall of Josh Williams
By the afternoon of the fifth day, the hunt finally came to an end. The National Intelligence Agency, the police, the military and several special tactical units quietly surrounded an abandoned mining complex hidden deep within the mountains.Desmond arrived only minutes after the final perimeter had been secured.Ezra stepped out of the lead vehicle and studied the valley below;"So this is where he ran"Scorpion lowered the binoculars in his hand, "There are no other roads out"Military vehicles blocked every access route while armed officers took up positions along the surrounding ridge. Drones hovered silently overhead, transmitting live images back to the command centre.The commander of the operation walked toward Desmond."We've confirmed visual contact. Josh Williams is inside with a handful of armed men""And Selene?" Desmond asked."Our surveillance spotted her less than ten minutes ago", the commander respondedThe commander unfolded a map across the hood of a vehicle, "We'
The Nation's Turn
The silence inside the warehouse lasted only a few seconds after Josh's smile faded.One of the technicians hurried toward the control room with a tablet in his hand. His breathing was uneven as he crossed the warehouse floor."The videos are already everywhere. People recorded the broadcast before we cut the signal, and they're reposting it faster than we can remove it"Josh accepted the tablet without saying a word. The first headline filled the screen displayed: “LIVE: Andrew Institute Employee Claims Attack Was Planned”He swiped to the next report: Public Demands Investigation Into Government OperationAnother one said: Who Is Josh? Questions Flood Social MediaAnother headline appeared immediately afterward: Families Defend Andrew InstituteJosh's jaw tightened as he stared at the screen, "They're moving too quickly," one technician whispered.Josh lowered the tablet onto the control desk and looked at the men around him."No," he said calmly. "They're panicking"**********Ins
Selene's Choice
Paige's breathing caught in her throat."I... I thought she was with you"The words struck Desmond harder than the explosions that had ripped through the laboratory.His hand slipped away from Paige's arm as his eyes swept across the crowd again, refusing to accept what he wasn't seeing. Patients wrapped in emergency blankets sat along the pavement while paramedics hurried between ambulances. Doctors shouted instructions above the roar of the fire, and firefighters continued battling the flames that still devoured large sections of the institute.He searched every face that emerged from the smoke, but Selene wasn't anywhere. Desmond turned abruptly and headed for the rear of the compound."Ezra!"Ezra was already moving in the same direction, with Scorpion only a few steps behind. They pushed through the smoke until they reached the service gate.The sight waiting for them explained everything. The heavy padlock hung from the chain in two broken pieces, and fresh tyre tracks carved ac
The Burning Laboratory
Desmond's final words lingered in everyone's thoughts as they stood beneath the old tree."I... I don't know what to say"No one expected an answer anymore. The burden resting on his shoulders had become impossible to measure. Saving Liam could cost him the life he had fought so hard to rebuild, while refusing to save him meant abandoning an innocent man who had never chosen any of this.The herbalist looked at each of them before speaking one last time, "You don't have the luxury of delaying this decision. Richard Maxwell knew that once the bond entered its final stage, time would become your greatest enemy"His weathered fingers tightened around the wooden staff, "Find the healing book before Josh finishes what he has started"Those words had barely settled when the shrill ring of a phone shattered the uneasy calm, Paige's name flashed across Desmond's screen.The moment he answered, her voice came through in broken gasps."Director... they're here!"A loud explosion thundered in th
