The magic in us: The Cross Of Two Souls

30: Said And Done

"Rise and shine sleeping beauties, get up we have to get ready," Miguel says loudly as he barges in.

Speaking through the pillow I say, "the sun hasn't even come up yet, why are you here"

He removes the pillow from my face but I quickly take it back.

Shaking me to wake up he says, "this isn't America, you can't be late to things, now get up"

Getting annoyed with his antics I finally get up.

"Just know I won't forgive you for this," I say tiredly and with an attitude.

"I can live with that, and you get up," he says shaking Adam awake.

He gets up the same way I did, hating Miguel for what he's done.

Going to the bathroom I brush my teeth and take a shower to clean up.

As the water rinses down my body I wince at the pain of my wounds that haven't fully healed.

Stepping out and drying myself, I get dressed and I can see that Miguel I'd stressing over my outfit.

"Are you sure you don't want a suit?" He asks biting his thumb.

"I already told you, I'm trying to appeal as me, not some ass kisser, no offense," I say and he takes a deep breath.

"I'll let it slide this one time, I can't believe I got myself involved, no worries, let's just get breakfast," he says trying to calm himself but I'm pretty sure I can see a vein on the top of his head.

Following him out he takes us to a pastry shop.

Sitting down with our bread and coffee, Miguel goes over the "legal" plan for the meeting.

"I will, of course, do all the introductions and get them to like you a little considering your record and then I'll give you the spotlight to show them your vision" he explains and I swirl my bread in my coffee.

"Good work, just remember that I'm not actually on trial, that's a been there done that deal" I joke and he mocks me.

Finishing our pastries we leave a tip and walk out, seeing the sun beginning to rise we head back to the administration building.

On our way there I kept my thoughts inside.

What would I even do if they decide not to help or even send me back to stasis for the American Covenant to take me back?

All I want to do is avoid the potential event that could end the world, is that so much to ask?

Walking up the stairs there is someone dressed in complete professionalism that takes us to a room with a locked door.

Looking around confused I open my mouth to speak but Miguel elbows my side.

Mouthing "what the hell" the person unlocks the door and a portal moves towards us.

We were teleported to a dark room, I literally can't see my hands.

Hearing lights turn on I can finally see my surroundings and the UK Covenant in front of us.

As Adam sits down at one of the chairs on the side they say, "we're honored to meet you, Jordan Astra, tell us, why do you come here? Is it because you're wanted in your country?"

Staring at them confused I again open my mouth to speak but Miguel does it for me.

"My client came here on his own accord, yes the circumstances aren't in favor but it wasn't because he was running away but to warn and gain aid for an emergency-level event," he says and I'm impressed.
