The Diamond Cult

Run

05/11/2031
He rushed to the office and almost threw up when he had parked his car.

Right before he turned off the engine, a message flashed across the screen of his car.

"RUN"

He got his gun and exited his car. For a moment he feared it could all be a test from Azra, but his gut told him otherwise.

He walked into the office, gun in his hands and ready to fight. He walked up the stairs and felt relieved to see a lot of people in the building.

"Piggy, is it loaded?"

He turned around and was met with a familiar face.

"Leo, thank god."

"What's up? Are you being threatened?"

"Yes! Someone called me and knew my real name and then told me to be careful."

"That's unsettling. Are you sure it's not someone messing around with you?"

"My car just got hacked as well and told me to run. Oh and when I tried to tell Jade my phone cut off. I'm being watched, we're being watched."

"There's a big chance Azra is behind this."

"Wouldn't this be happening to everyone then? Remember last time?"

"Ugh yeah, you've got a point. Please talk to Azra about this and keep that gun with you."

"I will, thank you. Oh and yeah it's loaded."

"Great, text me if you need help."

"Uhu, see you."

"See you, Piggy."

Leo went on with what she was doing and Piggy immediately walked over to Azra's office.

He knocked and entered.

"Good morning, Piggy."

"Good morning, sir. Has there been a training or test going on?"

"No, why?"

"Well, some strange things have been happening."

"Take a seat and tell me."

Piggy sat down and started explaining.

"Do you still have the number or?"

"No, my recents were empty when I checked after the call."

"This is very strange. I'll try to reach Jade and let her track any possible information."

"Thank you, sir. I'm just very worried. If they know my name what else would they know?"

"I know it's alarming, please stay in and around the office today. Also, what's that on your face? Have you started boxing again?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Alright, make sure to take care of it."

The tone of Azra's voice told Piggy he knew the truth. He forced a smile and stood up.

"I will, sir. Have a nice day."

"You too, Piggy."

Neville walked over to Ares and tapped his shoulder.

"Ares, can I have a talk with you?"

"Uh of course, is something up?"

"It's about your brother."

Ares looked away. A clump of anxiety forming in his stomach. As they walked Ares imagined an impossible amount of scenario's.

For a military upper head he sure had a huge weak spot for his brother.

"What is it about my brother?"

"We located him. We did quite a while ago actually."

Ares looked Neville in his eyes.

He fled out of the building, away from Neville and past the guards. His entry pass dangling around his neck as he stormed away.

They found him. He shouldn't have been found. He should be somewhere save and away from here.

Tears formed in the corners of his eyes and before he knew it he was fully sobbing. He was supposed to keep him safe.

His phone rung aggressively and he turned it off.

Could he contact him?

Would that be acceptable after all those years?

Wiping his tears away as he turned his phone back on.

He scrolled until he got to his contact.

He carefully clicked the 'call' button.

"Brother."

-

He couldn't speak.

It couldn't be him.

That was impossible.

"....Ares?"

"You need to be careful! They located-"

The call cut off. Both of their phones completely turning off.

He sighed.

He'd spilled enough tears on him.
