CHAOS 2

                       Romulus's car drove into the self-contain hideout, where Ella and her family are.  His driver opened the door for him, and he stepped out of the car.   Ella was seated in the living room with Simon and Ellis while Rose has been occupied by Chen, in her assigned room. 

               The bell rang and Ella went and opened the door. She froze when she saw him.   "can I come in?" Romulus's face was stoic as he asked. "yes, please."  She moved out of the way and he walked in. The living was large and elegant with a large flat-screen TV,  a size of a wall. 

   He was greeted by Simon and Ellis.  Ellis got up and hurried to the kitchen to get some refreshments. "How have you been doing ever since you know?" Romulus inquired.  "I have a lot of emotions but I will go with rage." Romulus nodded his head.  Ellis served him with orange juice and biscuits.  "Is there no blood in this house?" Ellis was stunned.

            The three of them looked at him. Romulus cleared his throat.  "I will have the orange juice."  He took the cup and drank from it before putting it back on the table. "Elder Romulus, can I get devil ash from you?"  Romulus looked into her eyes and a smile grew on his lips. "And why do you need this devil ash?"

            "While I was working for that bastard…" "What bastard?" Romulus interrupted her. "Richard Tiger."  She answered. "ahh, I see." His eyes were filled with mirth. "As I was saying, when I was working there, I met a man, who lived not far from us when I was in the south. He was married with two kids he had to raise the children alone."  "Why is that?"  Romulus interrupted again. "His wife died. Well, I didn't see this man for two days and when he returned, he was different."  "How?"  Romulus attention was pegged.  "I asked him where he had been and he said he had to travel. He remembered his children's names and everything. I thought that he was just stressed out until I spoke to his younger daughter.

               Romulus adjusted his sitting position. "she told me that the man wasn't their father. I asked her why she thought so."

            "What did she say?" 

 "that she saw him turn to another person, a person she had never seen before and she said his behaviors and how he talked to her and her older sister was different.

       "Why would you need the ash?" Romulus bit the biscuit served to him. "His company is being run by his grandfather and is going to close down in two days."  "His grandfather wants to run by it, no matter what," Romulus spoke with his mouth full.

               "I believe that most of his workers have been replaced by shifters."  "And you want to expose it." Ella nodded.  "How would you do that?"  he looked interested in what she was planning to do. "I wouldn't want to spoil the fun for you." Romulus laughed wholeheartedly. "Fine, I will give you the ash and I expect a very good show." His eyes shined with excitement.

                Back in the forest the mob, where planning on how to attack the organization and kill Ella. When a truck drove in. The others curiously looked at the truck whilst the hooded guy had a bad feeling about it. A young and young woman stepped down. 

             "Or it is Gary and Natasha."  A bald man moved towards them. "You went to get food, last night and didn't return." The bald man stared at them furiously and the others laid down their complaint.

        "We're sorry, is just that Natasha has this witch friend that sells potions."  Gary rubbed his hand in excitement.  "What has this got to do with our dinner? "I got us all a speed potion and food." Natasha talked this time. 

        "What do we need speed potion for?" a person in the crowd asked.

             "If only we were fast yesterday, we would have all followed that witch into the portal and found that bitch." Natasha clicked her tongue in anger.  "You're right and she dared to deceive Trent." A young lady complained and the ladies agreed. 

            "If we take this potion before we get to the organization, the witch won't be able to take her away."  The people nodded and agreed with what Gary said. 

            The hooded guy crept into the forest without anyone noticing. They all collected a vial and gulped it down. 

            "I can feel it." The bald man spread out his arms. And they were all excited.  Then his hands turned to small- wings. The others gasped whilst he screamed, rabbits ears appeared in some few people's heads, some got pig noses, some got mouths of ducks, chickens, and pigeons, and some began to grow branches. 

         The entire forest was in chaos, people were screaming and running halter-scatter.  They kept transforming until they completely transformed into different harmless animals and trees.

      Gary and Natasha changed into their true forms, shifters.

             A woman walked into her boss's office. "You finally came to work." The boss looked at her angrily.  "I am here to quit." The boss was dumbfounded. She dropped the resignation later and left.

                "security! The boss in another office used his hanky to put pressure on his broken nose. "You are fired, Alphonso!" 

 The series of events kept happening people emptying their bank accounts, collecting debts from banks, and burning their property.

             Trent sat in a simple cozy living room, getting reports on the chaos the shifters he woke from the dead are causing. 

   The protesters gathered in front of HOJ and got into a fight when someone bumped into someone and when that someone got into an argument with the other one then someone that bumped into someone threw the first punch.

              The police were deployed to stop the commotion.

         Chen volunteered to help Simon with the mission. They drove the large truck toward the warehouse, they were stopped at the gate by security. Earlier that day they ambushed and beat up the real delivery men and changed into their uniform, they lowered the leafy colored cap to hide their faces.  The security man checked their identity, while the other asked Chen to open the back of the truck.

           Chen stepped out and opened it, the security saw many green boxes, with the company name on them.  He walked back to his post while Chen closed the doors and went back to his seat. 

      Simon drove the truck into the compound.  Five men wearing green T-shirts and blank pants ran over.

            "the raw materials are finally here." The man that came over seems to be the one in charge. 

              "Sorry for the delay, the entire town is in chaos." Simon changed his accent to that of a countryside. "I heard it from, my daughter. Is that bitch fault." The man tsked.   "You're right about that."  "Can I use the bathroom, I gotta take a leak."  Chen stood next to Simon, he pretended to be pressed.  "When you enter the warehouse, just as soon as you walk in, go left you will find a bathroom."   "Thanks." Chen went ahead. he entered the warehouse but instead of going left, he went right. 

               He crept around to avoid being seen.  He went through the narrow hallway.   He let the few workers pass with the boxes they were carrying. He leaped up, removed the cage, of the vent, and entered.  Ella had already turned off the fans in the vent. He removed the pouch from his pocket and dragged the robe on it to open it. Once it was open he used the gold dust to make a circle that was touching but sides of the narrow vent.  Simon could feel the connection of the circle. 

       While chatting with the in charge, who was signing the form, that shows he received the orders. Simon crossed his fingers. The circle in the vent glowed and Chen could see the backpack that contains everything, he pulled it out and gently crawled towards the Air conditioners, he could even see the workers, and hear the heavy sounds of their machineries. He positions the camera and placed the devil ash, close to the fans in each vent, that they will later activate.

                "I heard that they are going to shut down the company after Christmas."  Said Simon. 

                    "His grandfather wants us to meet up with all the orders collected by the company before Christmas." The man sighed

     "And Christmas is three days away. I feel your pain bro." Simon said in his faked countryside accent.

     "Your partner isn't back yet." The in charge began to move toward the entrance of the warehouse. "Wait up!" Simon ran in his direction. Just as the man got to the entrance he bumped into Chen. Simon breathes a heavy sigh of relief.  "I will advice you to not let anyone in there for a while, the burrito took a number on me." Chen rubbed his stomach.
