CHAPTER- 26

"Cole? Open up" asked Addison as gently as possible. The door opened to show a grumpy Cole. "What do you need?" he asked coldly. Although Addison knew interrupting Cole when he was working would be a terrible idea, especially after 'the Rae incident'. Addison laughed nervously, "Just wanted to keep you updated, you and Vector have been locked up inside for more than 2 days now" Addison started "Come have something to eat both of you, and just so you know, Rae is okay now, but she seems... different" Addison completed and left Cole. Cole's eyes lit up hearing about Rae but his stomach also grumbled, he didn't realize he had been pushing himself maybe too hard. "Vector come over its been 2 days dude, can you believe it? Save the work, let's take a break" Cole said. "2 DAYS?? NO WAY!" screamed Vector trying to swallow the truth. Vector and Cole had been working on finding more about Japeth by trying to hack into Mayden's phone. "Any progress?" asked Levi, "Vector already managed to hack into Mayden's phone but if only we get access to the way Mayden talks to Japeth, then possibly we can overhear their conversations and get some useful information" explained Cole. Vector continued, "What we indirectly want to say is that...." Vector looked at Cole doubtful, Cole nodded encouragingly, Vector took a deep breath and started, "I came up with a way to get to know more.... we just need a distraction causing enough time for me to search Mayden's phone" Vector blurted out fast. "Okay so... distraction, I can do that" Nicole volunteered. Vector looked over giving a 'you sure?' look. "I haven't done anything to help, trust me on this, this girl got skills" Nicole said pointing at herself and moving her shoulders in a playful manner. Everyone chuckled, the air became less tensed and more warmer. "Then lets begin" Ara suggested. They got up and left taking pairs and planning which left Cole and Rae alone on the table. "C- can we umm.. maybe..... if you are ready.. w-want to talk?" Cole stammered. Rae looked up and gave the most dreadful look. Cole instantly regretted asking. "I-I am sorry.... I-I shouldn't have ask-" Cole started blabbering and apologizing, Rae let out a laugh. "Sure" she replied.
