Zero only has one goal, to be human. Escaping from the cell that once contained her, the outside world, which she longed to see for so long, is filled with more darkness than she expected.
She is faced with a world that is determined to label her a...
Namjoon was paralyzed by lethargy. He knew he had too much on his plate. Just when he fixed one problem another one arises. His head felt like it would blow to a million shards if he had to do one more thing.
But things needed to get done. They needed to do another raid of a storehouse in order to have supplies. Yoongi was still throwing a tantrum and refusing to respond to their calls. Nana had been pestering him when she found out that he never got around to helping Zero.
He arranged to meet her so he could finally focus on more important things.
She sat across from him at the dining table on Yoongi's chair.
He felt a pang of guilt in his heart when he remembered how he had handled the fight between his members.
He shook his head to stop himself from pondering on the what-ifs.
'Zero, how can I help you?', he asked in a voice that sounded like he was a worker in a customer service company.
'I need to find some buildings', she answered.
Her new girlier appearance had Nana's and Diamond's names written all over it. She looked starkly different to the girl in oversized clothes that he had met in the alleyway.
'What do the buildings look like?'
Namjoon was sure that this had to be some kind of sick joke. But he hid his irritation well.
Zero paused to think.
'I only remember what they look like on the inside', she answered.
Namjoon nodded and prompted her to continue.
'Everything inside the buildings is white'.
That really narrows it down', he thought.
He suppressed a groan. That description could be anything from an asylum to a hospital.
'Do you remember anything else?', he asked.
She nodded.
'There was a big yellow 'X' on all the buildings'.
Namjoon froze as the gears in his head began turning. That symbol sounded eerily familiar. A name sat on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't seem to recall it.
Since Yoongi wasn't there. He had to temporarily take on the role of the group's hacker.
He pulled the black laptop that had been lying on the table closer.
He felt relief settle on his bones. Finding that building would take less than thirty minutes. Then he could focus on finding Yoongi.
The only sound that filled the room was of him clicking sporadically on his keyboard.
He stopped when the results he was searching for came up.
Any building with a big yellow 'X' belonged to Professor Sullivan. She used to be a world-renowned zoologist. There was literally no information about her no matter how hard he dug. Which only meant one thing.
'I'm sorry but I can't find the buildings', he said as he clicked his laptop shut.
The devastation was written plainly on her face.
'I need to know where they are or else-', she said as she held her head in her hands.
'Or else what?'
'I won't be able to stop it', she answered in a grave voice.
'Stop what?',
'Something that could destroy humanity'.
She tented her shaking hands like she was reciting a prayer.
'Please help me', she watched him through widened eyes,' All I need is their exact locations.'
Namjoon furrowed his brows. She spoke like she knew that he was lying to her.
'One of our only rules is that we never get involved with the government', he announced in a finalising tone.
'I'll help you only under one condition, I want to know exactly why you have some connection with them.'
She gave him a sad smile.
'It might be better if you don't know'.
'I'll be the judge of that.'
