Chapter 155 - Black Underground

Outskirts Of The City 

The Silver-lining Manor

Operating Hall

Kayla's eyes were fixed on the wide screen.

"Okay that weird" She said watching a footage, it was showed a view of the front of the agency before a black creature bust out of it, dashing out in speed, but she couldn't make it out the strange being out, until the footage turned static.

"Kayla check this out" Race said in a hurry rushing to her side, as he drew the info from his transparent iPad to the wide screen, the news played.

"Earlier today the agency was attacked by a random ghoul still unidentified, the chaos today got a lot of citizens questioning the event" the newscaster said.

"Something's up... I'm sure of it, I checked the earlier footage, it doesn't make any sense" Kayla said certain.

"My thoughts exactly because the break in came from inside the agency not outside" Race said.

"A ghoul from inside the agency" she said.

"Exactly"

"So Genesis maybe?" she asked.

"Most likely" Race said his fingers going fast against the keyboard as the footage zoomed near, mostly focused on the black creature.

"Is that?" Kayla said with wide eyes.

"Yes, he's carrying three persons, can't make out who yet" he said.

"He's taking people hostages?".

Race nods.

"Should we tell Boss?" she asked.

"Not after what he did" he reason.

Kayla nods in agreement.

"We should keep it down and know what his agenda is... Then we tell Boss" he states. 

"What do you say about a old school tracking means" he adds facing Kayla.

She smirks.

Somewhere In The City 

*Wailing Sirens*

Heather, Dale and Josh took harsh breath's, except Genesis who stood assessing the area if it was safe.

"That was.." Dale said taking harsh breath.

"Insane" Josh finished for him finally calming himself down.

"We're lucky we made it alive, he was so fast so freaking fast" Heather said in a hoarse breath.

"What  are  you?" Dale demands in a serious tone, he wasn't like the other ghouls. 

"A ghoul" Genesis said with a shrug of his soldier's.

"Don't mess with me!" he snaps.

"Just one eye changed, you aren't a normal ghoul" he states.

"Calm down Dale! Of course he's not normal, he was experimented on by the agency, you don't expect him to be like a normal ghoul" Heather hissed.

"Calm down guys, we can't fight right now, for all we know the agents could be after us right now" Josh said with scared eyes.

"I don't know about this Heather but we can't take him with us" Dale said sternly.

"Really Dale... He's the proof we have got about the agency illegal experiment,  we need him" Heather states in a serious tone.

"The Mayor needs prove we can make use of" she adds.

'Mayor?' Genesis thought puzzled.

Dale sighs running his fingers in his hair.

Heather turns to Genesis who stood silence.

"You will come with us and then we will help you find your parents, you have to tell us your real  parents name" she insists.

"I have... Liam O'Brien and Riley Leah  are  my real parents" he states in a serious tone. 

"And he's going with that again" Dale said sarcastically, with a eye roll.

"But they have no kids, how come we have never heard of you" Josh reasons.

"It's long story, one I will not share with stranger's" Genesis hissed.

"You have to trust us Genesis, so that we can trust you too" Heather pleads.

"Forget this kid, he's nuts" Dale said without a doubt.

"I'm not lying" Genesis said through clenched teeth.

Heather stared into his eyes and she knew it, hidden away in those cold eyes were genuine.

"I believe you" Heather said with a smile against her lips.

"We will find a way to contact them when we get to the underground" she said.

"Underground?" Genesis said puzzled as he blinks.

"What did you expect, that we came from a respectful home... Well Nada" Dale said.

"After the incident with the drug and then the cure, homes were lost and some were hunted even after turned human, so we hid" Heather explained.

"You could say homeless... The government didn't recognize the drug addicts as their citizens after the mass destruction they caused because of their hunger" Josh said with sad eyes.

"And more to the reason, we support ghouls, so we are considered outcast" Dale states.

"Which is why we moved to the underground" Heather said sternly.

Unknown Neighborhood

The sound of dog barking could be heard, it was a lonely abandoned neighborhood with about 15 houses in sight, all worn out.

"This is not an underground" Genesis said as they approached the buildings. 

"We just call it one but it's actually a neighborhood off the grid" Josh explained.

As they got closer others could be seen all doing various things, some scarping for food from the wastes, while some burning wood at the open to keep warm, the setting looked rural like a poor household all in one.

"People would just desert other people" Genesis said.

"That's people for you, you support the enemy they see you as one" Dale said.

Genesis eyes scanned the area in curiosity.

"Everyone here once a Claw walker?" he asked.

"Mostly" Heather replied.

"Can't wait to get off this clothes" she murmurs uncomfortable like it wasn't even hers.

"Heather!" a woman called, she looked exactly like Heather but the much older version.

"Mom!" Heather said with a smile against her lips rushing to embrace her.

Genesis just watch with longing.

"Everyone they are back!" her mom called to the others as they gathered.

Genesis watch as they engage in a conservation with the three, either asking questions or relieved they were okay.

"It's like we have an unexpected guest"  a Deep voice sounds.

All attention drift to the big man before them.

"Mayor" Heather said with a smile against her lips.

Big Guy smirks.

"A familiar unexpected guest" Big Guy said never talking his eyes off Genesis.
