#Chapter3
FOX.
/"what's the situation?/"
/"Sir, we haven't found him yet./"
/"And what does that mean?/"
/"Sir.... /"
/"Just stop/" I cut him off. These people can't do a a damn job, I pay them
so I won't have to do it myself. What kind of reputation would that cost
me if the media finds out, I went on a manhunt? And no doubt I will get
him if I do. Soon enough, I would have to do it myself.
/"I give orders and I pay you damn well to make sure those orders are
executed, so when you tell me you can't find him, am I supposed to do the
job myself?/" I question his loyalty.
/"we'll find him immediately sir./" Zion speaks as he leaves, speaking to
one of my men on the comm.
If I find that bastard, I'll make sure to make him pay. You don't just
try to assassinate me and go scott free. The same mistake can't happen
twice, not again.
I walk out of my penthouse as my men follow suit. I have to get to the
office early today, there are things I need to take care of.
And now those reporters...
We walk to the car as one of my men drive, all through I just think of
what it is he wants and only one makes sense.
He knows what I am, but he wants to play dirty, just to get me to expose
myself, but I'm made better than that, smarter than he could ever be.
The door opens, as one of my men stand by the side for me to get out as
we had arrived.
/"Good day sir./" The security at the entrance greets and I just walk past.
Thinking I'm rude?
Well if you run one of the top company in the whole world, you would know
not to give a smiling face to anyone. People can be malicious, they take
advantage at the slightest.
I hurry my pace because I have to take care of the urgent problem
immediatel as I get to the check point, and there stands a lady.
/"Gooday Mr Fox./" The security greets but my attention is to the lady in
front of me.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that she's an employee here as her
ID is being scanned, which makes me sigh in disbelief.
The don't fucking listen!
She fucking came late and I caught her.
Well, today's her lucky day.
I can only see her backside cause she hasn't turned her position and
keeps her face hidden. Definitely she knows I'm here.
Something strange kicks in as I continue to stare at her, and suddenly
I'm curious.
Something I have never felt before, happening for the first time, the
reason I don't know, and for the first time, I am actually curious about
something.
Rather, someone.
Strange.
/"And you are?/" I speak as she turns her face towards me.
I blink twice looking at her as she just stares at me and the same
feeling kicks in again while her gaze is on me, and I wonder what is on
her mind.
It gets stranger, and I suddenly feel out of shape. My IQ begins to
misbehave and I realize something is wrong.
/"Is she deaf or something?/" I ask the security as he nods negatively.
/"No sir./"
I want to give orders and and leave her sight, but I feel glued and for
the first time again, I can't control my body. This has never happened to
me or any of us. It's like, I.....I'm curious about her.
No!
It shouldn't be!
I can't let this malfunction ruin everything.
I can't deal with her right now.
/"Miss, number one you're in my way, number two as I can see, you're an
employee and you're here late, number three, I asked you a question and
you're still quiet, so if you don't want to get thrown out of here and
save yourself the embarrassment I advice you tell me your name./" my voice
now flared, as I stare at her petite frame, she is quite short. A 5'7.
/"I'm so sorry Mr Fox, I.... Oh my God, I.... I'm just so sorry, please I
don't want to loose my job and if I do, there's no way I can get a better
like this,...... /" She utters, but it's hard to concentrate on what she's
saying as all I look at, is her plump lips.
What is happening with me?
This is definitely not normal, I have to call Alec. I'm not in control!
/"Please shut up /" I raise a finger. I'm getting agitated in some kind of
way, I do not understand. Usually I'm in control, but now it is advisable
though I want her to get out of there, at the same time I want her to
keep talking.
Her lips pause into a thin line just looking at me with those brown orbs.
/"I was just trying... /" she tries to speak again, but reflex catchs it
this time.
Something is definitely wrong. I think he did something to me when he
attacked me.
But I would notice it or feel it, if he did.
/"Incase you didn't hear me clearly, I asked what's your name? God you
sound like a fly, you make too much noise./" her voice suddenly giving me
distractions.
/"what... I.../"
/"If you take your job seriously you wouldn't be here late. But as of I, I
do have important things to do than ask for your resignation letter right
here. So Miss.... What is your name?/" I ask one last time, and if she
isn't ready to answer, I would ask her to be thrown out, unless I want to
jeopardize everything.
Her gaze hardens.
Anger, I'm sure. But she is still quiet.
Is she crazy or something, oh my God. I could easily push her out of the
way but it feels as if it would be wrong.
This is bad. He definitely did something to me.
/"Oh I'm so sorry... I... I didn't hear you well an..../" she didn't hear
me again?
I'm so pissed right now and I have no explanation. Hell, I'm never
pissed. Everything is random in my brain, and feels Vague.
/"Are you alright, because now you sound like a chicken. I asked you a
question and you keep on blabbing./"
Fucking hell!
Where did the chicken come from?
A chicken? Seriously?
Why would I call her a chicken? I compose myself as one of my security
give me a look.
/"This is the last time I would ask. Your name Miss?/" I collect myself
acting professional.
/"Rose Micheals/" she finally says .
/"Now, miss Micheals, I would like to see you in my office after today's
event is over, and you dare not leave this enterprise until you have seen
me. Am I clear?/" I warn and I see fear in her eyes.
/"Y.... Yes Mr Fox/" she accepts.
Why do I need to see her? I could just ask for her resignation letter.I
walk past her, holding my stern expression on.
Alec better know how to fix this.
**********
/"Zion, I want you to take all of the security out of this floor, and none
of you come up. I need to talk to someone privately, and keep the others
busy too. No one comes up here. Is that clear?/" I ask my head if security
as he nods. /"Also, shut the cameras./" I add.
/"Sir.... /"
/"Don't question me, you heard me clearly./"
/"Yes sir. May I ask if there is any problem sir?/" Zion questions again,
as he is about to leave. I didn't trust them enough with the cameras, so
I shut it myself and no one can turn it on without me knowing.
And yes, trust is not something I do.
/"Everything is fine./" I lie and he leaves. Ever since my encounter with
Miss rose Micheals, it has only gotten worse, to the extent I can feel my
body changing.
I dial Alec's personal number as it rings. This couldn't get to the
agency or I would be compromised.
/"Will?/" His voice fills my head.
/"Alec, something is wrong. I can't seem to control myself. My.... My
brain isn't functioning properly and I'm stuttering, also my body is
starting to shape shift into things I didn't request,/" I go straight to
the point with my hands up my face as I watch it turn into a blade.
/"What do you mean?/"
/"I also don't understand why it is happening. It feels strange and I feel
random./" Alec and I have past relationships that go way back.
/"Okay, okay. um.... I don't know why that is happening... Maybe you
triggered something, but there's a recovery mode at your RAM, if you're
able to concentrate enough to reach it, you should be back to normal. But
upon reaching it, your body will shape shift sending lots of signals to
your brain, once you get there all you have to do is activate it and you
should be alright. But in the process, we would loose contact due to
complications. After you get it done, I'll call you back in 20 minutes.
It should be over by then,/" he advises and I hear clinging of keys at his
background.
/"Copy/" I say to him initiating the process. My brain signals starts
electrifying as my body shifts from a metal, to a blade, a woman's arm,
and through it Alec gets cut shut as he said.
The process is almost complete when the scream of someone diverts my
attention, and I'm faced with a particular woman.
Oh shit. I am so fucked.
