A/N: HALO, alexa play "disaster by conan gray."

------------------------------------------------------------------

That encounter made me confused to my core, but i'm not complaining. Lying on my bed, palm pressed against my head, I was overthinking all the possibilities as to WHY nazeera decided to ask me HOW I WAS. She's never done that before, heck, she's been wayyyyy nicer for the past few days now that i think about it.

All of this makes me want to smash my head against a wall. It could either she's just opening up to us, or there's something else going on.

"lying around losing your mind will NOT get your shit done."

Right, I have stuff to do, begrudgingly I got up, a bit too fast, making my head feel dizzy and faint great.

Getting up, I went downstairs to the control room and try to see what i'll have to do for the day. Most of the days, it was just a few errands here and there. But sometimes, it feels as though all hell broke loose in the state.

I opened my phone to check the time.
4:48 pm Tuesday.

Ah, it's tuesday and that means it's my turn to get the groceries. Sighing, i took my wallet and told Juliette i was gonna go get the groceries done, to which she gave me a whole ass list of things but i dont trust her. I ended up doing a quick check around to see what we actually need.

Grabbing the keys, i get on towards my adventurous journey towards the local supermarket.

why did i sign up for this again? right, because we're young adults who have no idea what to actually do.

Sighing, i look around double checking the list once more before pushing the cart towards the check out. I stood there for a while before i heard a crash followed shortly by a scream.

I look around frantically, eyes landing on the scene talking place. A black gooey substance all over the aisles as a man laid there, unconscious. I look around for signs of the culprit but it seems as though they've already taken their leave.

I rush up to the man, checking his pulse and taking in his injuries before speed-dialing the paramedics. Shooting a quick text to the gang, i go back to man. I look across his body, checking for any signs or anything that could give me a lead towards the culprit.

nothing, there was nothing, how can that be?

Withing minutes, the paramedics arrived, followed shortly by Juliette, Warner and Nazeera. They look around before spotting me.

"Kenji, are you alright? do you need a doctor?"

"No ji, I'm fine, no one except that man was targeted."

"Did u examine him? check for any leads on who did this?." Warner spoke up.

"Ofcourse i did."

"Guys, did you even notice this black thing?."

i completely forgot about that.

We moved forward to take a closer look at it.

"Maybe we should ask the twins or maybe castle will know."

"We should store it somewhere." Warner says as he whips out an empty bottle from his coat jacket, don't ask how because i wish i knew too.

We store the substance in the container and make our way back to run some tests on it.

this is gonna be a long day.
