Lumidite

-Washington DC, February 10, 2023

The president of the United States is pacing back and forth in front of his desk. A camera crew is present, waiting for the speech he wanted to give so badly, but now he’s starting to get nervous. The speech will be broadcasted to millions of people, but he’s nervous about something else entirely… He finally finds the courage to start his speech. “Good evening, citizens of the United States. First of all, I have to admit that I’ve failed you all. When I became your president I made quite a few promises which I wasn’t able to keep,” the president says as sweat starts to drip from his forehead, being fully aware of the consequences of his words.

The opening of his speech caught the audience off guard. No one would’ve expected the president to actually admit to his failures, after being their president for nearly four years. There are a lot of people who don’t trust him, but this time even those people are listening carefully to his speech.

“War still tears apart the middle-east. Climate change is right around the corner and will be the end of our next generation if we don’t change the way we live. The black market has never been as big as it is today. This leaves me with one simple question. Who’s there to blame? The people who work so hard day after day to make sure that they can pay their taxes? No not them. I should be blamed for all of that, shouldn’t I? I’m the president after all, but I’m not the one in charge here!” He shouts, losing his calm appearance.

His assistant shakes her head. Suggesting he should cut off his speech immediately, but he refuses to do so.

“While I’m standing here there’s someone out there who’s more powerful than any of us. He has control over the banks, the government, and nearly all large companies around the world, but today I’m going to reveal his identity. Pulling him out of the dark. Forcing him to show his face because after all, he’s just human like any of us. The name of this horrific man is–” Before the president can finish his sentence, the lights go out and so does the broadcast, leaving millions of people clueless and frustrated.

“Someone’s interrupting the broadcast.” The cameramen shouts, while desperately smacking his hand against the side of the camera in an attempt to go live again.

It’s dark within the room so the president walks over to the curtains. Multiple bright lights immediately shine into his eyes upon opening the curtains.

The flashlights leave the president momentarily blind. Suddenly he hears guns cocking. He drops flat onto the floor and not even a second after the mysterious men fire their guns until their magazines are empty. The whole window shatters and hundreds of small glass shards rain upon the president and his desk.

After the firing stops it’s surprisingly quiet. No alarms went off and there’s no security storming into the room. The other people within the room didn’t even make a single sound before they got shot. Their lives ended before they even realized what was going on.

The creaking sound of multiple feet stepping onto the glass suddenly breaks the silence.

“Get on your feet,” one of the men demands.

Being still in shock, the president slowly gets up. His whole body is trembling, and his hands are full of glass cuts.

“Put your hands behind your back. You’re coming with us,” the same man adds.

He quickly inspects the men in black. All of them are wearing masks so he can’t see their faces, but he notices the letters ‘SWAT’ as soon as one of them faces his back towards him.

The man who faced away from the president checks up on the camera crew, the news reporters and the president’s security. “All targets have been eliminated and the president remains unharmed, sir.”

“As the president of th-the United States and thus your superior I order you to drop your weapons before my security rushes in!” He brings out in a hopeless attempt to get control over the situation as he uses his handkerchief to get some of the blood off his hands.

The leader of the squad scoffs. “You’re no longer our president. You’re being replaced.” Before his words can sink in, he smacks the back of his rifle against the president’s face. Another SWAT member catches him just before he falls unconscious.

“Stage one of project Lumidite has been completed, sir. We’re taking him with us,” the leader says into the small microphone on his chest.

- New York City, February 12, 2023

it’s nearly 9 a.m. on a Sunday and it seems like another boring day for Kellis. However, he will soon come to realize this isn’t the case.

He’s nineteen-years-old and he has short brown hair. His eyes are blue, like his mother’s. He isn’t popular in school, but he has one close friend called Ethan who has been with him for years.

Jeffrey suddenly runs into his bedroom and yells, “Kellis you have to wake up!”

Still half asleep Kellis groans and stares at the vague silhouette until it opens the curtains. The bright morning light shines into his eyes.

“Come on wake up! You won’t believe what happened,” he yells again, not giving him time to adjust to the light.

Kellis now properly sees his seventeen-year-old brother and feels even more annoyed. He holds his pillow in front of his face and with a muffled voice he says, “leave me alone.”

Jeffery takes his phone out of his pocket and hands it over to him. “Look this video is going viral. It was uploaded yesterday and it already has over fifty million views.”

After throwing the pillow aside Kellis sighs and asks, “fine, what is it?”

“Just watch!” His brother shouts out impatiently.

He reads the title ‘What happened to our president?’ He frowns and presses play so his brother will stop yelling at him.

A female news reporter is standing in front of the Whitehouse. Looking at her face he notices that she seems really uncomfortable. He doesn’t know anything about the broadcast from last Friday, so he doesn’t mention it to his younger brother.

She takes a deep breath and starts her report, “panic spreads across the United States, yet no one has come forward to explain what happened to the president. The camera crew who was present last night also have been reported missing. The citizens want answers, but no one has stepped forward to explain what happened.”

Suddenly someone covers the camera lens with his hand. It turns out to be one of the security guards. He clearly doesn’t want any news reporters near the Whitehouse. The audio cuts out and a few seconds later the video ends.

“What do you think? Come on tell me!” Jeffrey asks while impatiently stomping against the bed.

“I think it’s all set-up,” Kellis replies

“You must be kidding, right? Haven’t you seen his speech on tv?” Jeffrey asks with a surprised look on his face.

Kellis shrugs, “nope. I don’t like our current president, so I always skip to another channel when he’s on tv. It’s not like I often watch tv anyways.”

A little frustrated Jeffrey replies, “no one really likes him, but that speech was different. He admitted that he isn’t a good president and he even said that there’s someone even more powerful than him. How is that even possible?”

“Why would I care? It’s not like I have a single reason to trust him anyway,” he says before getting out of bed.

Their parents are visiting their grandma, so they decided to go to a local lunchroom together. Jeffrey is still talking about the video, so Kellis decides to turn on some music by connecting his smartwatch to his wireless earbuds, using a modern version of Bluetooth called DashField.

They walk passed two NYPD barricades which have been moved to the side. Kellis looks around to check if there’s a policeman around but the street seems to be abandoned. Just when he thinks that they shouldn’t be here the mayor opens the front door of his house and steps outside. He’s holding onto a metal case and he obviously seems worried that something might happen to it. He runs down the small staircase in front of his house while readjusting his glasses.

Jeffrey suddenly turns around and covers his head. Kellis frowns in confusion and removes his right earbud. Before he can even ask what’s wrong he hears a loud beep. Just in time, he manages to cover his face before a big explosion blows up the whole house. Planks and bricks from the house are blown into every possible direction, hitting mostly cars which triggers their alarms.

The house collapses not even a minute after the explosion. All that’s left of the house are a few walls and some burning pieces of furniture, which are barely visible because of the dark smoke coming from the fire.

In the middle of all the ash and destruction, the mayor tries to crawl away from his house while still holding onto the case. Deeming it more important than his own safety.

Jeffrey barely got hit by the blast. As soon as the thick cloud of smoke is gone, he runs over to the mayor to see if he’s okay. He inspects him, realizing he’s badly injured. Blood runs down his face and his glasses are nowhere to be seen.

While he’s taking care of the mayor his brother is lying on his back. He tries to recover from the blast, which knocked him off his feet. When he finally tries to get back up, the world starts spinning in front of his eyes, causing him to drop down onto his knees.

“Mayor are you alright? I will call 911, don’t worry I’ll help you,” Jeffrey shouts in panic.

With panic in his eyes, the mayor grabs his arm, “d-Don’t call the police. You seem like a good kid, so listen to me…”

Kellis finally manages to get back up. He leans onto a nearby bench and looks around to find his younger brother. When he finally finds him, he overhears the conversation Jeffrey has with the mayor, “bring this case to mister Jonathan Ringe. He’s currently hiding in Mexico-city. Ask around and his people will lead you straight to him. He will save us from a man more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”

They hear sirens coming from a few streets away, even though they didn’t call 911. There doesn’t seem to be a single ambulance or fire truck among the many police cars, which makes this situation even stranger.

“They are coming so you must go now!” He turns around to face the police cars. One of the policemen gets out and pulls out with his gun in his hands. The mayor closes his eyes, knowing his death is inevitable.

Kellis quickly pulls his hoodie over his head so they won’t recognize him. “Let’s go down that alley, quickly!” He runs into the alley hoping his brother will follow him straight away.

Jeffrey goes back to the mayor to pick up the case. He looks at the mayor again, clearly doubting either he should leave him or not. He reaches for him, but at that very moment, a bullet goes straight through the mayor’s head. He drops back onto the ground as Jeffrey stands still in shock. His whole body is trembling.

“Come! We must go now,” Kellis shouts at him, making sure that he isn’t the next one to be shot. Being quite shocked Jeffrey listens to his older brother and runs after him into the alley.

About ten policemen surround the mayor, making sure that there’s no way out for him even though he was killed almost instantly.

“Good work. Now clean the area, I don’t want any news reports about this before we have the whole situation under control,” the chief says after putting his gun back into its holster. He starts smiling as if he just hunted down his prey.

One of the officers runs up to the chief to show him the recordings of the dashcam and says, “chief, we didn’t evacuate everyone. I see two men next to the mayor after the explosion. Sadly, only one of them faces us so we will only be able to identify one of the two witnesses.” “Capture the one you can identify and find out who the second one is. We can’t risk anything,” the chief says a little irritated, yet still smiling.

“Alright, but uhm. There’s one more thing. They have the suitcase…”

His hideous smile disappears. Now replaced with hatred towards the man in front of him “Find them now! I need that suitcase by the end of this week, or I will make sure you end up with a bomb planted inside your house. Do you understand?”

The policeman nods and quickly heads back over to his car. Meanwhile, Kellis and Jeffrey are running as fast as they can. They arrive at the local park and decide to hide inside of a few bushes to catch their breath.

“I think we’ve lost them, although it didn’t seem like they were chasing us at all. Does that mean that they don’t know that we’re involved?” Jeffrey says while trying to catch his breath.

Kellis shakes his head and says, “that’s very unlikely. We should really open this case somewhere safe though.”

After trying to take the case out of his brother’s hands Jeffrey says, “but the mayor said we must hand it over to Joh-”

Kellis quickly interrupts him, “oh, calm down, he didn’t say that we aren’t allowed to open it. Besides I want to make sure that we aren’t walking around with a bomb.”

Once they get back home, they enter the garage. Their mother is already cooking dinner and their dad won’t be home within the hour.

“Alright, so first things first there’s no way we will be going to Mexico with this thing. I don’t have the money to get us there nor do I believe we will even be able to enter an airplane while holding onto whatever is in here,” Kellis says while opening a large locker.

“What are you looking for anyway? This case looks more secure than a top-level prison.”

“We will see about that.” Kellis pulls a crowbar out of the locker and tries to fit the end of the crowbar into the small gap between the case but gets surprised by an electric shock.

“Aah!” He screams and falls onto the floor, dropping the crowbar which lands with a loud bang.

They wait for a few minutes, but their mother doesn’t seem to have heard anything.

“Jeffrey, I hate to admit it but you’re right. We need someone else to open this case for us and I might know someone who’s able to help us,” Kellis admits as he hides the case behind one of the lockers.

Later that day the two brothers have dinner with their parents. Their mother asks them about the noise from earlier and Kellis quickly makes up a story about a wild raccoon being stuck behind the fridge in the garage.

Luckily for them, their dad quickly changes the subject. “Have you heard about the gas leak at the mayor’s house? The police said the mayor died of his injuries inside the hospital not long after.”

Their mother looks shocked and exclaims, “Oh that’s horrible.”

“But that’s not what- ow!” Before Jeffrey can finish his sentence, he gets kicked by Kellis.

“Don’t come up with another stupid story! Anyways, I don’t really feel hungry anymore. I might get a snack later tonight.” He grabs his brother’s arm, making sure he follows him.

When they enter the garage again, he let’s go of Jeffrey’s arm. “Don’t tell them anything about what happened today, do you understand? There’s something dark going on within the government and we are going to find out what the hell that is,” he says with a rather serious look as he grabs the case and puts it inside of his backpack.

- New York City, February 13, 2023It’s nearly 5 p.m. and everyone in college is packing their stuff. It has been a tough day for Kellis. He has constantly been on the lookout for any policemen, fearing they will arrest him as soon as they find out his identity. He puts his tablet into his locker and locks it using a fingerprint scan. He turns around and watches a friend of him coming out of the classroom. Exactly who he was looking for.

Thank god, he thinks to himself as he runs to the other side of the hallway.

“Hey, it’s been a while, Ethan. How are you doing?” Kellis asks even though he doesn’t have time for small talk right now.

“Not good really. My aunt passed away last month. I used to be really close with her.” He whimpers and looks away as a few tears appear below his blueish eyes.

He’s usually a tough guy who doesn’t often get emotional, but his aunt was the only family member he could talk to. He always wears a cap, which nearly covers his black hair. His clothes usually look dirty and are full of graffiti marks.

Most people hate Ethan because they think he doesn’t care about anything. However, he does care for Kellis since he’s his best friend. Ethan respects him because he was the only one who helped him pull through when his parents got divorced. Through the years Kellis has been bullied multiple times, but ever since Ethan became his friend no one has dared to touch him. It has been three years since his parents got divorced, but he still isn’t the person who he used to be. Within these three years he hasn’t even seen his dad once, nor does he know where he’s.

“My condolences Ethan, I didn’t know. That explains why I haven’t heard from you anything from you. I understand that you needed some time alone though.” He sighs and lays his right hand on Ethan’s shoulder, trying to comfort him.

Kellis takes a deep breath as he tries to find the courage to bring up the mysterious case. “Look I’m really sorry for you, but I really need your help right now. I might be in great danger.”

Instead of being concerned he starts to laugh while whipping away a few tears before they could leave his eyes. “So, you finally got the balls to commit a crime is that it?”

“I’m serious here. Are you willing to help me or not?” Kellis says in a frustrated tone as he frowns.

“Yes of course I am. Just hang on one second I have a notification on my phone.” Ethan grabs a small square object out of his pocket and presses the button on the side. The device expands to about twice its size and folds open, so the screen becomes visible. When the screen turns on the notification leads to a website which shows a 3d hologram of someone’s face.

“Hey that’s strange, he looks exactly like your brother.” He shows Kellis the hologram and it’s indeed his brother’s face.

“Oh god. We must find him right now! Can we use your motorcycle?” He grabs his backpack and already starts running towards the front door. He doesn’t wait for an answer, he knows Ethan won’t let him down.

“Wait up! Are you going to tell me what’s going on or what?” Ethan wonders as he tries to keep up with him.

He runs after him and once they arrive at his motorcycle Kellis shakes his head. “I will explain everything, but not here and definitely not now.”

“Whatever you say…” He puts on his helmet and starts the engine. Kellis hops onto the back and they drive off.

While driving Kellis calls his brother. He’s glad to hear that his brother is safe, but they must find a safe place right now. They decide to hide in the working place of Ethan’s dad. Ethan is the only one who has been there since his dad left, which makes it the perfect hiding place. Another benefit is the many high-tech tools he has stored within the building. They park right outside and wait for Jeffrey.

After a while, he finally arrives. “You sent me GPS coordinates. In which year do you live, twenty-twenty? Can you just send me an Instant-map link next time? Took me ages to get here, since there aren’t any roads on the map,” He says referring to an app, based on live satellite recordings. The app uses AR so it can guide people all over the world. Even on terrain no one has been for years.

“Ugh. Just get inside before someone sees you,” Kellis replies as he gently pushes his brother towards the door.

Once they get inside Ethan lays the case onto a workbench. He slides his hand across the surface of the case. “This is one hell of a lock to pick. I don’t know how you managed to steal this, but whatever is inside it must cost thousands of dollars, maybe even more.”

Kellis calmly shakes his head, “try a million. The mayor gave it to us personally. The explosion from within his house wasn’t a gas leak like they said in the news. We were there and he gave us this case. Apparently, the NYPD is after it and they will kill us to get to it.”

“Oh man. Well, since you’ve already pulled me into this… I guess I’ll have to open it for you,” he jokes and goes into the storage room to find the right tool.

Meanwhile, Jeffrey starts to look around since it’s his first time being here. All around him are expensive-looking devices, yet they all have huge layers of dust on them. What kind of place is this?

“Ethan rarely talks about this place. Maybe his dad used to be an engineer, who never got the chance to show his inventions to the rest of the world. It would explain why he was doing this on his own in the middle of nowhere. Most of his inventions look very promising though,” Kellis says as if he could read Jeffrey’s thoughts.

Ethan finally returns with an odd-looking flashlight. “You might want to look away. The light coming from this laser is brighter than the sun.” He puts on his protection glasses and uses the tool to burn through the six locks on the case.

He turns off the device and lays it down on the desk next to him. He grabs the side of the case and opens it carefully. “Money? Please be money or gold. I would love to have a few gold bars— Oh.”

The case contains three yellow crystals, which are all separated within glass containers, surrounded by black foam. These crystals seem to slowly change shape over time and leave a weird smoke effect within their containers.

After a while, Jeffrey finally breaks the silence, “what the hell are these things?”

“I don’t know what it is, but I think it’s better if we don’t open them. You know just to be safe for now.” Kellis closes the case and takes a few steps back.

“Just one way to handle this,” Ethan says as he walks over to the fridge to grab three cold beers.

There’s only one chair in the room so Kellis and Jeffrey decide to sit on top of a pile of pallets. Up until now Jeffrey had never touched a beer, he smells it and the scent immediately makes him looks away in disgust. How do you guys even drink this stuff? He thinks to himself while watching Ethan gulp it down like it’s lemonade.

For a while, he listens to the other two as they talk about subjects that would never interest him in the first place. Eventually, he starts to feel like a third wheel, being unable to join their conversation. He stands up and takes his time to look around. He enters the storage room to find all sorts of tech he has never even seen before. He also finds a ladder which leads to the attic. He doubts if he’s allowed to go up there, but since the other two are too busy talking, he decides to quietly climb the ladder. On the next floor, he finds a strange-looking box. He takes a closer look and finds a yellow symbol on it, which looks like some kind of company logo.

Meanwhile, Kellis is about halfway down his first beer while Ethan is starting on his third. Now it’s Kellis’s turn to stare at Ethan’s drinking speed in disbelieve. “So I suppose that your dad didn’t show up at your aunts funeral?”

Ethan pauses for a moment and says, “nope. I wish to find him someday so I can punch him in his face for leaving us. He just left us without even saying goodbye. It still seems strange since he always seemed so happy around us. Besides that, this garage meant everything to him. Why would he just leave everything behind like that.”

Loud footsteps all around the building are causing them to jump up to their feet and back up against the wall. “We must warn my brother before they find him,” he whispers to Ethan.

Jeffrey’s still unaware that the police tracked them down. He climbs down the ladder while screaming, “guys look at what I found!” His voice echoes throughout the whole building, causing the people outside to hear him as well.

Multiple tear gas canisters are thrown through the windows. They fill up the room with smoke within a matter of seconds.

Kellis runs up to the case while trying to cover his face. By doing so he accidentally drops it. One of the containers got out and landed on its side. He looks at the damaged container and picks it up before it rolls underneath a desk. He tries to put it back into the case, but the tear gas is too much for him. He drops onto his knees, feeling his whole face burn as he tries to breathe.

Just then the door bursts open. A whole squad of policemen enters the building. All of them are wearing heavy armor, a gas mask and each one of them has their pistol ready to fire. He can barely see them as his eyes are starting to water.

Ethan manages to hide around the corner, standing within the storage room. Jeffrey has finally realized what’s going on and now stands next to him. They are just out of reach of the tear gas, but it’s still hard not to accidentally breathe it in.

Two policemen walk in after the rest. They place down a cylinder-shaped metal device. After turning it on it starts to spin around. It filters the air, causing the tear gas to get sucked into a hole on each side.

Now that the tear gas is gone, the chief takes off his gas mask. “NYPD. Give up the crystal or we will have to take it from you!”

He tries to take the container out of Kellis’s hands, but Kellis ignores his demand and pulls back even harder, causing the already damaged container to crack open like an egg, freeing the crystal from its prison.

The chief takes a few steps back to get behind the other policemen. They activate their orange, electronic shields which are connected to their bracelets. The hexagon-shaped shields expand to protect nearly the whole height of their bodies. They form a circle with Kellis in the middle, making sure he doesn’t escape.

In absolute fear, he stares at the crystal as its right side becomes darker and darker until a black liquid starts to pour out. Like a river, it flows towards him. It reaches his leg and sticks to it like glue. He tries to shake it off, but it feels like it only wraps tighter around his leg.

It starts to burn as it sucks itself into his skin. He tries to escape, but there’s nowhere to go. His screams would make any person shiver, but not the chief. He just glares at him as he begs for help.

The liquid disappears, leaving only the empty crystal behind. Kellis looks around, hoping it’s gone, but then he feels something moving through his veins. It feels like his blood is boiling. His whole skin starts to burn as if he was inside of a furnace, but this heath comes from himself and it’s desperate to get out.

“Aah!” He cries out as his cheeks turn red, his vision gets blurred and every sound hurts his ears as if there was an airplane starting its engines right next to him.

Jeffrey can’t listen to him any longer he has to help him. He goes around the corner, but before anyone has seen him Ethan pulls him back. “Stay here, you’re going to get yourself killed if you run into that room.”

The chief has seen enough and shouts, “take him down the merging is almost complete!” All policemen follow his command and point their pistol at Kellis’s face.

Kellis is far too distracted to even notice it, he loses control over his own moment and starts to shock on the floor. He can feel his body fight back to its invader. Every muscle is cramping up and before a single shot has been fired a dark energy shock bursts out of his body. The shock goes through the shields as a hot knife through butter, causing the policemen to feel the full strength of the blast. Most of them hit the walls however, a few unlucky policemen crash into the dust-covered crates, breaking their bones upon impact.

Ethan has been looking from around the corner the whole time however, Jeffrey could only see the light coming from the blast. He’s done waiting and he has to know what’s going on. Everyone is either lying down on the floor or trying to get back up. He looks over at the workbench to find out that there are still two crystals within the case. He takes his chance to run over and take a hold of it.

Many of the policemen are heavily wounded but the chief managed to stay unharmed since he wasn’t close to the origin of the blast. He easily gets back up and looks around for the case. He’s afraid of what else Kellis can do so he wants to leave as soon as possible but first the case. He looks around to find it within Jeffrey’s hands. He threatens him with his pistol and shouts, “give it to me!”

Even though Jeffrey has always wanted to do the right thing, he isn’t as brave as his brother. He doubts for a moment but realizes he doesn’t stand a chance, so he hands it over to the chief.

When it’s within his grasp he takes it and runs off with the other policemen. The wounded are being helped back up on their feet so they can retreat as well.

Ethan runs over to Kellis and pulls him back up on his feet. “Are you alright? That was insane dude!”

“I don’t feel well. It’s inside of me and I think that it’s alive because I can feel it moving through my veins.” His irises shift between blue and yellow but eventually, they return to normal.

“Man, we need to get it out. Can a doctor even help you with this?”

“Jonathan probably can!” Jeffrey joins the conversation only to be looked upon with hatred by his brother.

“No, we’re not going to Mexico! Thanks to you we lost two crystals and the insides of the third one are still inside of me!” He has to catch his breath for a moment otherwise, he might fall unconscious. It feels like nearly all of his energy was used in that blast.

“First of all thanks for making sure that no one was shot. No problem at all. Secondly, Jonathan might be the only one who can save you.” He snaps back at him, being annoyed by how his brother always tries to be in control of his actions.

“Kellis, is that the guy you told me about on our way here? If that’s true then we have to go. Whatever is inside of you might kill you.”

Kellis stays quiet for a while. He sits down onto the only chair within the room, clearly being in doubt if he should agree or not.

“I suppose we have no other choice then,” he eventually admits.

Meanwhile in the headquarters of the NYPD in Lower Manhattan, the chief reports back to the police commissioner along with another policeman standing next to him, “Sir, we have managed to retrieve two out of the three stolen Lumidite crystals. The third one has been merged with one of our targets.”

The commissioner throws his mug against the wall, causing it to break into pieces. “How do you dare to show up without the third! You know what my boss will say about this.”

“Oliver doesn’t need to know. We will retrieve it before the end of this week I promise.” The usually cold-hearted chief is now trembling in fear as he stares down at the commissioner’s right hand.

the commissioner opens his drawer to grab a pistol out of it. He loads his pistol and stares into his eyes. “We don’t say his name out loud.”

Without looking away from the chief, he raises his gun and shoots the policeman next to the chief right in his face. His corpse drops onto the floor and his blood is all over the commissioner’s desk and their clothing.

“This is what I do with failure. Someone needs to be paid for it. Make sure you’re not the next one. Now go and visit the arsenal. Take the rifles and all other weapons you can fit in our vehicles! I want every single available policeman in New York out there to look for this boy and I want him dead! Meanwhile, I’ll contact my boss so I can tell him how you lost one of the most valuable things on this planet,” the commissioner says in a vile way. Almost humiliating the chief for his mistakes.

“My boss wants to start stage two of project Lumidite soon. He can’t allow any more mistakes while we’re on the edge of a revolution. Now that he’s in control of all governments across the world it’s just a matter of time before the rest of humankind follows,” the commissioner adds.

Author’s notes: This is the second version of my story. As of right now I’m going through every chapter I’ve written so far and I’ll fix as many mistakes as I can find. If you like my chapter please don’t forget to vote, it means a lot to me! However, if you did find a mistake feel free to message me.
