He finds himself in an uncomfortable and unwelcome partnership with Detective ALVARO DIAZ, angry and bitter at the world.

The Rapture by DaniBrull
40 parts Complete Mature
Pearl Blankenship, an autistic investigative journalist, witnesses the end of the world. Before the nuclear fallout can kill her, a mysterious being offers her a choice: come with him or stay on a dying planet Earth. **** Dumuzi, the being who offered, is an Anunnaki: a descendant of humankind's ancient alien creators. It is his mission to wipe out what remains of humanity in a few short weeks, sparing only those with a thirst for knowledge and moral character. After becoming a journalist, Pearl was mocked online, arrested for trespassing, and challenged globally for her conspiracy theories. Two things she knows for a fact: mankind deserves a second chance, and staying on Earth sounds... well, hazardous. She hopes that by getting closer to Dumuzi, she might be able to change his mind about humanity, as he is a councilman with power. But it isn't going to be easy. Communicating? It's difficult for her. And he is cold, wary of humans, and has weeks left to live due to an illness that plagues him. The more time she spends with him, the more his illness accelerates, and the more steamy attractions ignite into something seriously dangerous. The clock is ticking.

In a post-apocalyptic flooded world, the last remaining humans live on large Navy aircraft carriers huddled together forming a city. The richest people enslaved and oppressed the rest of the masses to maintain total control and power. Two Lovers who share the same hatred for the government have spent their entire lives dreaming of escaping from a life of slavery and government oppression to find land where they can be free. Even though their parents and the society around them told them that they were crazy and that trying to find land was pointless. The Lovers are determined to follow their dream to try to find a way to escape the city to seek land and be free. Even if that means possibly dying in the process. Meanwhile, as the two Lovers search for a way to escape the city, two Police Detectives investigate a series of unsolved crimes and murders all over the city that may or may not be linked to the two lovers.
