The rebirth of planet Resoria Z9

Chapter 21

Struggling to get out of bed, my attempts failed more when I could feel how sore my muscles were from all the stress that caused me last night. My sleep was down in the drain from me turning around every few hours laying there with a million thoughts passing through in my brain. I lost track of all the different theories I made after seeing John being handed that packet by the intruder and the stain that was left on his shirt from Ekvtron's liquid. 

I was so sure that John had sent his staff members after Thomas but I never saw it coming that they would be sent to my dorm and run off with something valuable as the androids. In my eyes the liquid was as valuable as the androids. I threw off my covers and walked to the bathroom before glancing at Ekvtron who rested in the glass closet without thinking I searched for any wounds on his lower body with my eyes. Once I knew he was in a good state my gaze flickered to Bortums face and became more confused when it was back in its original color silver.

I rubbed my forehead. It felt overwhelming by the sudden changes in the androids and have to deal with John who now had Ekvtron's liquid in his hands. I couldn't tell them knowing they would only end up murdering John but could murder be the answer I needed to solve this mess I wondered. Approaching the bathroom I stepped inside it. It would have made more sense if the intruder left the cabinets in havoc but as I looked around everything was in its place. 

I took my toothbrush and brushed my teeths more rough as I felt an anger come in close. I had let John off with too many things but this act of his was unforgivable. I had to do something quick and carefully planned out. I splashed my face with cold water and tried to control my pulse, which was now rising. I did not want to wake Bortums up and be asked questions I could not answer.

I hurried to dress myself and grabbed my computer on the way as I carefully closed the door after me. I did not want to have a key to lock the door for if another intruder or the same one had the guts to steal from when Ekvtron was there I would want to see their attempts now that Bortums and Talus were in the room with the only goal to eliminate their threat. The more I thought about why Ekvtron had not physically harmed the intruder I realized the answer lies in Ekvtron's awareness level being dangerously low and when Bortums said that being in that state was almost being brain dead. 

Walking through the hallways I was more than ready to skip my classes if John was in my path. This time I would not let him off that easily. I picked up my pace and walked down the stairs out of the building and across the small campus park. Once I arrived at the larger building where several students were roaming I did not walk with head down and Instead looked at each student that walked past me hoping I would see him. Walking further down the hallways and past the study room I ignored the memories of being with Thomas before he hurried to his family reunion.

 Having thoughts like that made me feel as if he had passed away like I was thinking of him in past tense but I knew deep inside that all the misunderstanding I had would be cleared as I walked inside the classroom two minutes late and professor Daniel was teaching and sat down in the second row with the seats closest to the window. 

'' Goodmorning. I was waiting for all of you to be here before announcing about your classmate. As you can see Thomas has been absent the last couple of days and I know that many of you saw Thomas' family being here yesterday with principal Owen.'' Said professor Daniel pausing through his announcement and wandering his eyes to mine with a pity look before continuing with his words. 

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, refusing to let the professor's word sink in. I know where he was heading but it made no sense Thomas was in good health both in mind and body. It was almost rare for adult men to be abducted if one compared the statistics I tried to convince myself. But the more I thought about it and remembered the wealth that came behind Thomas it was not unlikely if he was to be abducted for his family's wealth.
