Chapter 157 - Black Guest (Part 2)

"What are you saying Chase" Barbra said faintly, not meeting gaze with him, her heart slamming rapidly in her chest.

Chase slowly walks toward her, he stops right in front of her, he brought out his badge and then his registered gun, placing them on the table.

Barbra froze at his action as she faced him with shaky eyes.

"I'm saying I can't work for a woman whose heart is not in the right place" he said firmly.

Barbra's lips went apart lightly in shock the words hung in her throat at his statement.

"We are not the savior in this city" he states once more, with wistful eyes.

"No. One. Is" he said final before turning to walk away.

Barbra placed her palm on her table for balance, she watch as Chase Wyatt walks away right before her eyes.

She couldn't act, she couldn't think, she just watch as Chase left her office, the door sliding shut.

Her fist clenched,  hard.  Pain and anger boiling her insides, she took harsh uneven breath, her eyes clouded with anger.

Downtown 

"Kayla are you sure we are in the right place?" Race asked for the tenth time today, they had been out here, tracking Genesis location but he was nowhere to be found, like a ghost.

Race just sighed, leaning on the black sports car, watching Kayla in a distance checking her device.

"There's no damn signal" she hissed.

Race sighed once more.

She turns to him.

"Don't you think maybe we should tell Boss about this?" she reasons. 

"You know we can't, not until we know what Genesis is up to" Race said.

Kayla sighs.

"This doesn't feel right, I have never done anything without boss permission" she said guilty.

"Look Kayla don't over work yourself over it, we will tell him just when we know what Genesis is after, you remember what happened when they encounter him before" he reasons.

"He killed Riley's mom, his own grand mom in cold blood".

Kayla gulps hard, nodding.

"So we keep looking, we handle it ourselves, Boss and Riley have been through enough".

"Okay" she agreed, there was no other way to see it.

Unknown Neighborhood

Genesis was seated on a rooftop, watching the night skies with dull eyes, the wind blowing harshly around, he couldn't remember the last time he watch the skies, maybe never.

He observed the stars each of them, it was enthralling to watch, as they Illuminate gloriously.

"You're at my spot" Heather said from behind.

"You watch the stars too?" he asked without looking back.

She approached him, taking a seat beside him but made sure to give him space.

"Yes I watch the skies too, its one of my favorite scenery" she said enjoying the view.

Genesis eyes sadden.

"This is my first time seeing the stars, all I have ever known is white ceiling, medications, syringes, lost of syringes, water tubes" he said faintly but Heather heard him.

Her eyes sadden at his words, what could he have possibly gone through in there.

"How long have you been inside the agency?" she asked, curious.

"2 years I think, ever since I was a fetus".

Heather froze, wait a minute.

"You said what now?" she asked with a skeptical look.

He finally faced her.

"A fetus" he said shrugging, wondering what the big deal was.

"Oh my God!" she exclaimed stunned.

"You were genetically made, gosh... Science is getting more crazy... That explains why just your one eye change, the man behind this is a crazy ass scientist" she said amazed.

"It was my granddad" he said with a frown.

"Oh" she made a sound in a sad tone.

"Sorry I didn't know".

"It's okay" he states.

"I did worse" he adds faintly.

"Genesis" she said softly.

"I killed... " his teeth clenched tightly, as well as his fist.

"I killed my own grand mom" he held his head with both hands lost.

"I killed her, with my own hands" he adds staring at his palms, it showed blood in his vision.

"I clawed her throat out... And do you know what's worse, I was myself all along when I did it, if only I knew who she really was then... ", his voice shaky, the tears fell on their own accord.

"I tried to kill my own parents too... If I had the chance I would have... They're... They're never gonna forgive me... And... And".

Before he knew it Heather embrace him tightly wrapping her arms around his neck, Genesis buried his face in her neck breathing in her scent, relief and calmness flushed through his body in a wave, her scent intoxicates him like a drug.

She then pulled away, he sobs.

"They will forgive you, I'm sure... My mom" she gulps.

"My mom ate my sister... I was so hurt about it and confused, she became a drug addict because of my Dad's abusive nature, he always hit her and did things to her, he hit me too, her only comfort were the drugs" she said on the verge of tears but she held it in.

"I don't hate my mom because I know it wasn't her fault. It wasn't your fault Genesis, I believe it wasn't your fault" she said her eyes laced with seriousness.

"You don't know me" he said with a frown.

"You don't know anything about me".

"I believe you're a good person" she said softly, gently stroking his cheek.

Genesis never took his eyes off her as did Heather, she slowly leaned forward gently pressing her lips against his. 

Genesis froze at her action as his widen in shock, unable to process what she just did, he pulled away, fast. While grasping for breath.

"I'm sorry" she began haste, her cheeks flushed with red, she didn't know what came over her, she just felt the need to kiss him, she was wrong to think Genesis felt the same way, it was practically the opposite.

"I shouldn't have done that, I'm so so sorry" she said embarrassed covering her heated face.

"Don't do that again" he said through clenched teeth.

On hearing his word she pulled her hand away from her face, she froze seeing his right eye changed to his ghoul ones, he took slow deep breath, it was heavy and uneven, his fist clenching the roof wood tightly, it cracked from his tight hold.

"It makes me feel weird" he adds in a heavy breath.

Heather couldn't help it, she burst in a hard peal of laughter.

"Why are you laughing it's not funny" he hissed.

"You really need to keep your emotions in check, I heard when ghouls are emotional they can't control their powers, it's what's happening right now" she explains.

"What? I don't feel any emotion towards you human girl" he hissed.

She frowned at his words, going up in her feet abruptly, hurt as she gasp.

"It's Heather!" she hissed.

"And of course I won't even think of kissing you again!" she hissed on top of her lungs as she walks away, sliding down leaving a confused and angry Genesis.

"And I just have to be the one to chop up the woods while he's nowhere to be seen" Josh said sarcastically while chopping the wood in front of him, other piles was still waiting around, to be chopped and it was all on him because Dale decided to ditch.

He growled in frustration.

"Human boy!"

"AAHH!" he shouts going backwards abruptly while holding his axe up in defense, he then saw who it was.

"What the fuck Genesis are you trying to give me a heart attack! " Josh hissed on top of his lungs.

"Didn't mean to, I have a question and I need an answer" He demands.

Josh sighs, now this weird kid was here to haunt his day,  great just... Great.

"What is it dude?"

"What happens when a female gives you her lips? "

Josh froze at his odd question.

"Okay what now?"

"The human girl...".

"Wait you mean Heather?" he asked with wide eyes.

"Heather kissed you?" he adds stunned.

"Kiss? So that's what it is" Genesis said rubbing his chin like in deep thought.

"Damn... Dude you kissed Heather?"

"No  she  kissed me" he corrected still puzzled by the word kiss.

"That's so awesome, I knew it, I knew she had a thing for you" he said goofy.

Genesis blinks puzzled, Josh caught on.

"Except you don't understand" he said but then smirks, wrapping his arm around Genesis neck.

"Relax Gen, I will teach you everything you need to know" he said in a mischievous tone.

"Who kissed who?!" a voice came behind, it was Dale.

Josh and Genesis pulled away from each other as they faced him.

"Uh oh" Josh exclaimed as he freezes.

He gave Genesis a look not to talk but the dude just said it anyway.

"The human girl kissed me, so I asked Josh to explain it for me" he said so casually with a shrug.

Dale saw red as he came at Genesis giving him a hard punch on his cheek.
