Date: 01/02/2084

I looked up at the old rusty clock tower in front of me. Again I glanced down at my phone it was showing I was at the right location. Now the problem was to get into the tower and hopefully not setting off any alarms as I walked closer to the front door a small scanner came from the brick wall. I froze as it scanned my entire body; the lock clicked and the door opened. I silently slipped in and looked up. multiple flights of spiral staircase Slowly I went up the spiral staircase and another door, this one looked to be more heavy duty. which meant no one was supposed to be here. Quickly I took notice to the scanner above the door and it scanned.

" welcome Lightning strike. A16" the door opened.

As I walked in the lights began to turn on revealing what this was. I was in awe at everything the computer set up, the small cells in the corner, also the suits hanging up on the wall. I turned to the computer. I flinched. It had pictures of Lexi, another woman and me. Next to them was test results. DNA results. When I pressed a button, more footage started playing from the day I took out the field of tanks and Humvees to the security footage from my school.

I froze when I heard the click of a gun at my head.

" Who the hell are you?" The man asked

" why are you stalking me?" I asked

" excuse me?"

Quickly I grabbed his gun and spun, taking it from his hands and pointing his own gun at him.

he shook his hands out " son of a-"

" I was sent by captain Alex"

" Alex sent you?"

" Oh, yes he told me about you" He pulled out his phone and frowned at the text messages.

" good" I dropped the gun and kicked it over " Why Alex Send me to you?"

"He thinks you might be able to help with the situation"

I rose a brow at him as he went over to his computer and pulled up footage from the break-in at a Blackworth warehouse. It only showed men in black uniforms steals multiple cases of weapons and equipment.

" pause" I zoomed in on a patch on one of their sleeves " right there"

" what is it?" The man asked

" the patch. The flaming skull with a red banner underneath it"

" well, what does it mean?"

" they are like our special forces, They specialize in missions like this. Bring attention to something while something else happens...If they are here on Aroan soil their bring the war to us" Chills went up my spine. If these people were here they were going to bring an actual hell.

" I'll put the team on alert" He looked at me " Thank you"

I waited in the corner while he talked to Alex on the computer after he came over and showed me around the tower. It turns out they had a fully stocked kitchen, rooms upstairs and a garage underneath complete the Tower.

" I actually never caught your name"

He stopped and looked at me " You don't remember?"

" remember what?" I asked

He chuckled " Never mind. It's Dante"

I froze. If time stopped itself " Dante. Oh my god, your alive" my eyes Quickly looked up and down his frame. The scar on his collarbone. Tears started to flow down my face My old childhood friend was alive.

" Good to see you too Lryia" He came up and wrapped his arms around me and I couldn't help but cry.

>>>>>><<<<<<

Dante handed me a cup " How are you alive?"

" Alex and his squad found me under rubble with two metal rods in my leg and side"

" You?" He sat next to me on the couch.
I looked down at my hands" my dad ended up calling Alex over a military walkie we found, some of the men dressed in black came in asking for shelter. When the walkie went off and they shot him. When I heard the shot, I lost control or something took control."
