HELLUVA SCHOOL: THE SCHOLASTIC DOMAIN 😈🔦

FALSE PROMISE, FALSE HEROES

~ HEADQUARTERS OF EYE OF EARTH ~

ITALY, POVEGLIANO VERONESE

WEDNESDAY, 8:48 PM

From the high school, we moved to Povegliano Veronese to the Eye Of Earth headquarters on a cold dark evening, although illuminating the area were the facility's blinding stadium headlights. Loris and Chris reached the gate and, taking a deep breath, walked down the long driveway while waiting for them at the entrance were two armed guards.

Guard: "Hey!!! Who told you to come in, kids!!! Get back now!!!" he answered arrogantly.

Chris: "We came to talk to Ethan!!!" he exclaimed in a serious tone.

Guard: "He doesn't want anyone and won't accept visitors! Get out of my sight!!!" he cried out angrily, threatening them.

But a female voice caught their attention, enlightening them with hope and relief.

Astrid: "Come on in, guys! Ethan has been waiting for you!" she said, smiling as she placed herself next to the guard.

Loris: "Thanks!" he said, smiling at her as he entered with Chris, who made a funny grimace at the guard to tease him.

As they passed by the glass walled Reception they arrived and marveled at the gigantic lobby, especially the golden orb hanging from the ceiling.

Chris: "Woow!! Are we small or is the structure from the inside looking colossal?" he exclaimed enthusiastically.

Loris: "It is just like that! It is beautiful, even if it is exploited by corrupt heroes." he muttered to his friend, not making himself heard.

Chris chuckled and Astrid, in Ghost's company, said:

Astrid: "All right, guys! Come with us!" he said, smiling.

Next, Astrid and Ghost accompanied Loris and Chris to the top floor where Ethan was waiting for them in his office.

Ghost: "Be sure to play along as we stand behind them." he murmured to the boys.

Loris: "Got it!" he murmured nervously.

Then, they reached the door of Eye Of Earth's leader's office, but before knocking Astrid said:

Astrid: "Are you ready? Once you enter, there is no turning back." he said seriously.

Loris and Chris nodded taking a deep breath and the spy knocked.

Astrid: "Sir? The boys are here to talk to you!!!"

Ethan: "Make them sit inside!" he shouted with no will to live.

He opened the door and saw the leader sitting at the central desk with his feet propped up on it as he smoked a cigar with an unassuming air. His office was a complete mess, chock full of papers everywhere!!! On the desk, on the floor, on the shelves... they even noticed blood stains on a paper resting on the table surface

Ethan: "Sorry for the mess, but problems don't solve themselves, right?" he said with an arrogant smile as he extinguished the cigar in the ashtray.

Chris: "Oh my goodness! What a smell!" he muttered in disgust as Loris elbowed his arm to silence him.

They were enveloped in a negative aura, as if the leader conveyed restlessness and a strong feeling of unease. They sat intimidated in the chairs placed in front of him while Astrid and Ghost stood behind Ethan Hawkins.
