He didn't trust him.
Ire eyed the boy that Alpha read to be Elijah warily. Elijah hugged his bagpack to his chest looking around in awe. Ire wasn't surprised. After all, this was the latest V-HL hovercar edition.
He pulled the sleeves of his grey t-shirt up the elbow and folded his arms. Everything about Elijah seemed suspicious. Who still uses pre-change materials? Even his grandparents, when they were still alive, were more sophisticated. Most runaways Ire saw didn't carry this sort of things around. Besides, why did he jump out of the auto-trans with Temi?
Unless, he was working for the government. Spies are always the ones pretending to live a boring life, aren't they?
He shifted his gaze to the two in the front seats. His father was still berating Temi for running away. Whatever he was saying was blocked off to his hearing.

Ovic Inc.1/4/2030.8:00am.It was silent. Just the way she loved it.She prowled the lab searching for records of Reborns. Third ran her fingers over the smooth crystal desk and a four by five index boxes glowed blue.It's a combination, she thought to herself and grunted in frustration. What on Earth was the combination?The beeper fused into her wrist beeped. The Creator needed her. She glanced around the room with a keen eye noting the white clean environment, the inbuilt clear shelves containing vials of different chemicals, the dormant robots and robotic arms, and an old fashioned blood bank(?)Her wrist beeped again. She grumbled under her breath and exit the room. As she strolled the hall passage, Third felt the watchful gaze of someone on her. The alert in her blared warning signs. Something was wrong.Kogi State

Kogi state,1/4/203012:00pm“Doctor, we've got NSS on our tail,” Alpha reported.“What?!” Ire exclaimed. Ire immediately eyed Elijah in suspicion. The other boy just rolled his eyes, disgruntled.A holographic GPS appeared before them all. They all had their heads raised watching the five green dots heading their way. Their car was marked green on the map and it was speeding fast. No doubt it was drawing the attention of fellow vehicle riders. And it did!People gawked, wondering if there was a street racing on. They were even more bewildered when they saw five green with white polka dotted security speed after the blue hovercar.While the onlookers were fascinated, the figures in the pursued vehicle gripped their seats in anxiety.Alpha did well with the speed and controls of the car.

NSS HQ BASEAbuja1/4/2030“What do you mean you lost them?!”General Otunba frowned at Dr. Yomi's audacity. Who does he think he is that he deems it fit to yell at the one and only General Otunba.“Johnson is very intelligent,” Otunba mustered, “I underestimated him.”“It wasn't obvious before?”If only he could wrap his hands around the obnoxious fat man's neck. Otunba took comfort in imagining Yomi dead and exhaled with a smile. He leaned in his black leather seat and interlaced his fingers.“I have a plan-” He stated to say when a red dial appeared on the screen glaring at him. “I'll call you back. The President is calling me.”He put Yomi off the line before he could say anything else and answered the call from the President.“Your Excellency,” Otunba greeted with a salute.The man had a scowl deeper tha

Give me an hour,” she said. Tiny white pixels gathered together and formed Dora's feminine hologram.“We need to find them before he does, Dora.”“I understand,” she said and lightly patted his shoulder.Nassarawa2/4/20306:00pmThey didn't seem like terrorists.

He has been traveling with them for a while now, even got attacked too. Why didn't they trust him t

“One. Go, go, go, go,” Alpha urged.All four doors bursted open and its passengers ran out and into the station. Elijah noticed that all four of them were males with different attires. Not one looked like the other. They ran, alarming people as they did. As they ran past the checking point, everywhere glowed red and train station AI reported presence of terrorists. Fear gripped the people walking about the station as they let out screams and ran for their lives.The gates that led to the train slowly began to close.

Ovic Incorporation3/4/20306:30pmHe groaned and moaned in pain, lying down on his stomach. His body splayed on the cold white floor. Wherever he held prisoner smelled horrible like urine and sweat. With pain, he raised his head and pushed his body up in a sitting position. He sighed and rubbed the crust from his eyes. Thanks to the dim light, he could see a little of the room. He was its only occupant and the walls were white but stained with either dried blood or dirty hand marks.He inched forward only to be startled by the echoing sound of rattling chains. He looked down at his hands and realised he was chained. Wasn't he cuffed by a police robot? He suddenly remembered been hit by a man wearing a gas mask. Who was this man? Where was he?A part of the full white wall pushed forward and shifted to the left, letting a flood of bright light enter the room. The click of heels could be heard as a figure stepp
