The Peak

Chapter 27: The Black Aura

In the Sebastian Headquarters, Marc Sebastian is on the phone with Marcus Sebastian.

" Father, have you found them ?" Marc asked. " They're no longer in their schools. I don't know where they are." Marcus said. " If they have Jake, then they will use him to lure those boys." Flora said. " This is bad. The Van Halens cut the cell signals of Roundhouse. We won't be able to call them." Lucia said.

" Lucia, where are your brothers ?" Marc asked.

" Uhm....according to the trackers I have placed in their phones....they are...in the plaza?" Lucia said. " In the plaza ?...." Marc is confused. " The broadcasting signal tower is located in the plaza. But there are no battling grounds in the area." Marcus said. " The twins must have gone there with the brothers, to fight the Van Halens alone." Flora said.

" Father ! we have to stop those boys!" Marc said.

Marcus thinks, staying silent and looks at Flora. Flora nods her head.

" Father !"

" We won't ... .yet" Marcus said. Marc is stunned, " What ? Father, those are my sons!" he yelled. " I know, son! But if we go there now, they will see us. They kill Jake, and probably those innocent citizens they hold hostage." Marcus replied. Flora comforts Marc to calm him down, " Marc, as much as I hate to say this, but I agree with your father." Flora said. " So what now, we'll just let them fight alone ? yeah they are strong but there are so many of them, we're talking about hundreds of enemies and assassins!" Lucia, she too, feels upset and worried.

Marc is stunned and sits down.

" My dear, calm down. Please." Flora said.

" I am not saying we won't back them up, what I am saying is, we need to think this through...We have to let the boys fight them first. We do not have communication, and If Jewon sees a rescue team in that area, it's over not only for Jake, but for my people in there ! Now we trained Damian and Damien to the best we can, and we have to trust them they can fight their way out of this." Marcus said. " I am pretty confident that the twins will restore the cell signal of the tower, once they do, the Van Halens will notice it and they will deploy some underfighters to check it out" Flora said. " That's when we back up. I will deploy my men to rescue the hostages." Marcus said.

" And what about my sons ?" Marc said.

" Marc, son, listen to me, Damian and Damien will be alright. You have to trust them." Flora said.

Marc looks at her mother with tears in his eyes, he nods his head as he calms down.

" Son. When you were their age, you were captured by Solen to get to me. Your mother and I argued whether to save you first or save the others, do you remember what you said to us?" Marcus said. " You said to trust you. You fought your way out of it, you helped save innocent people that day." Flora said.

Marc realizes his parents' point.

" Son, we will back them up." Marcus said.

" ...Okay father."

Lucia is typing on her computer, " I got something..." she said. " What is my dear ?" Flora asked. " I was able to hack into our satellite to watch them in real time...alright here they are...they are entering the broadcasting building" Lucia points at the monitor, showing the twins and the Dominum brothers.

In the broadcasting building at the plaza.

" Okay, here's the plan. The whole city does not have reception signals. I will restore the cell signal power on this tower first, that way, the CCTV cameras will be able to capture everything that is happening in this plaza, this will provide us evidence to take down the Van Halens." Damien said.
