"How long do you think it will take to burn out?" Sophie was overly hot. Her blood was boiling enough to get fried.The three of them were cranked together in a small hole underneath Dillon's apartment."We just have to endure for more hours" Alpha Jones consoled her with a pat on the back."Hours, you say?" David blurted out impatiently. I will rather go in there and get burnt than become fried here" he complained bitterly."I think it's better to be fried than getting burnt" Alpha Jones scoffed."Either way I think we are still going to die. Maybe we should just die here, together" Sophie did not know what to expect anymore but she wanted them to stay together to the end."At least, our bodies will be found up there but down here. It is not guaranteed" he shifted away to make room for Alpha Jones to stretch his legs."Why do you think this place was dugged out before?" Alpha Jones asked after looking around. "I don't think this is a place made for people like us. It seems like a clo
Mark was all smiling.Alpha Nolan hesitated at the entrance of the facility. He knew well there was a good reason behind his lighter mood."Happy to see me?" he challenged him. He wouldn't want to be fooled by mere smiles."I have become rich, Alpha Nolan" Mark said softly but it hit Alpha Nolan's ears like a loud yelling."I do not care about rich. How are you faring with the plague?" he scowled at him.Mark giggled. He was trying to say something which he kept holding back with his senseless and unwelcomed giggles."I have completed it" he finally let out "You told me you need more days, didn't you?" Alpha Nolan heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't stop being careful now that Baldwin was trying to outsmart him.He was already having the hold on him due to his facility that was being used. That wouldn't matter in the end. Only the one that was smarter between them would be favored."I think I am getting back to my old and better self" he continued smiling and pointed to a tray.Alph
Baldwin knocked on the door reluctantly. He wouldn't have been in a place like this if he didn't want to deny doing this.The door opened and a young man popped his head out and stared at him weirdly."I am here to see your leader" Baldwin muffled.The young man kept looking at him like he didn't hear what he said.Baldwin believed he wanted him to repeat himself."I want to----" Baldwin jumped back in shock as the young man slammed the door shut. "I don't think he is mentally alright" he murmured to himself.He wanted to turn away and took his leave but the door opened again, wider than before. No one came out.Baldwin went in to the house. It was a rough thatched house and the four young men that were inside didn't look like the kind of people he wanted."You said you wanted to see me, Baldwin" Grad, the leader of the gang came from behind."Yes, you must be Grad" Baldwin was not impressed by the leader's look too. He looked weak like the other ones."People don't see me for no reas
"It seems a fight is going on inside" Alpha Jones hesitated outside Baldwin's facility."A fight?" David seemed confused."That shouldn't bother us. We need to get the virus as soon as possible" Sophie urged them to move inside.They met Alpha Nolan battling it out with some unknown people who were also giving him a hard time."Do we join? Or are we going to wait for them to play it out?" David asked."We don't know why they are fighting. We first have to secure the plague and Mark. That's our priority" Alpha Jones advised."I think I have eyes on him, Mark" David walked away slowly from the others. He was heading to an end with much determination.He pushed the wall and a door opened revealing Mark shaking visibly."You don't need to hide" David patted him on the shoulder. "Just calm down and come with us" he persuaded him."Just let me be. You already know I'm just the hand. Your fight is with Alpha Nolan" Mark panicked.David held him and pulled him to Alpha Jones."We need the pla
"We are not told to kill you. That's the only reason why you are still breathing" Grad growled at Alpha Nolan's face and threw him down.Alpha Nolan had been badly beaten. He still couldn't understand how Grad and his weak men could have turned him to a pulp like this."Grab the bag and let us get out of here" Grad shouted at his men."You... are ... not going with that" Alpha Nolan muttered weakly. He crawled on the ground to Grad and held his leg."Do you want me to kill you?" Grad kicked his head and he rolled away."You will have to, before you can take the plague" Alpha Nolan struggled to get back on his feet. He kept falling back."Let's move it" Grad urged his guys.Alpha Nolan felt relieved as some warm hand held him and pulled him up."Mark?" he moaned softly. "They are taking the plague away" he shook his head."No, they won't take it away" Mark breathed heavily. He left Alpha Nolan and rushed to the man carrying the bag.He pulled it away from him. He took to his heels afte
The hallway was not only weirdly long. It was too dark for an afternoon.Alpha Nolan kept walking carefully. The silence was deafening. His footsteps echoed back at him on every steps.He was sure Baldwin wouldn't have brought him here to kill him. He knew he just wanted to manipulate him."Stop right there!" Baldwin voice said sharply.Alpha Nolan stopped immediately. "Turn around!" he commanded again.Alpha Nolan turned as he was directed. A burning torch lit up. He could see Baldwin accompanied with his men. They were more than a dozen.Alpha Nolan smirked. He believed Baldwin must have had a bad plan prepared for him."I don't think you brought me here to kill me" Alpha Nolan laughed loudly."Do not panic. Nobody is dying" Baldwin assured him."Are you sure?" Alpha Nolan looked round at Baldwin's men. He checked them out. They were all armed. "This is a hallway full of armed men. You might think you give them command. But the real thing they are obeying is the money. They will f
"What do you think Alpha Nolan's planning?" David asked curiously. "We just have to remain on high alert" Alpha Jones slammed the arm of his throne and the sound echoed through the whole throne room.It had been a while they had been expecting Alpha Nolan to attack after he had secured the plague. But he had not shown up and everything seemed strangely calm."He must have been planning something differently. We have to think outside the box so we don't receive the greatest shock of our life" the Mage was actually supporting David's idea."The plague is his best shot. That is what I will do if I were him" Alpha Jones insisted. "Don't let us run out of patience. So that when he comes, he will meet us ready. We should not divert from our outlined plan" he blurted out."The plague is what we know him to be possessing. He might have another thing we know nothing about" David posed."Like I said, there can be never be anything more threatening than the plague. We stick to plan" Alpha Jones
Sophie was having a hard time to get sleep. She was busy thinking about what Tonia said earlier. That was going to be a lot to take in for her. "You are not sleeping?" Alpha Jones' voice startled her.She looked up, Alpha Jones was already sitting up beside her. His voice was sleepy. She didn't know he would wake up that fast."I'm trying to get it but it... Don't worry about me" she waved her hand once and pretended to be okay."What's bothering you?" Alpha Jones insisted."Tonia said I will have to kill her to steal her power" Sophie let out."That's what's bothering you?" Alpha Jones chuckled. "Are you feeling guilty? That you want to kill a friend just to save others?" he asked rather than consoling that Sophie expected."We are not really friends. We are at each other's necks most of the time but having to kill her now, it's unbearable" Sophie shook her head.She would have loved the whole situation if there was another way to go about this. The problem was she didn't know much
