Samuel presses his foot hard against the throttle, he overtakes an Audi on the road. The winds blows against Rachael's hair and it's disruptive blow play with her ear.Rachael glances at him and notice his eyes, their blue glow look captivating. How can such beauty carry darkness of unknown depth? Is it still the same boss she is familiar with? Blood. The image of dismantled corpses highlighted through a wobbly array of lights flashes through her mind. She gets goosebumps as this memory surfaces. “What is it?” Samuel asks in a harsh voice, “N-nothing,” she stammers, “Then look some

Sphinx CHAPTER XIV
John gasps for breath as his body is jolted to life, he finds himself at the backseat of a car with two men in front. One of the men turns around to look at John who is shaken up. Of course, he has to be since he thought he was going to meet his family on the other side if he was lucky. But here he is, alive and awake. His mouth his dry and his belly churn as the image of his dead family flashes before him. His emotions gradually take over his rationality like a man on hard drugs and he begins to scream and cry as he punches the hood of the car. “Gabriel,” Samuel calls his brother who is driving, “Calm him down”, Gabriel says. “Silence”, Samuel shouts in a deep voice and like a scared little child John moves to one end of the backseat and wraps his hands around himself. He shivers as his skin slowly turns pale, “He needs blood, Gabe” Samuel says. “I know that” Gabriel says, “Why did you save him anyway?” “I guess I felt bad for him you know.

"I’m not. I am aware that he is quite capable but instead of doing something that will most definitely kill him, why don’t we just text him the address. I followed them here, remember?”, Samuel says to his brother. “Once he gets here you can jump into his head, it is safer while he is in the vicinity. Jumping into his mind when you aren’t sure of his current location could just kill him and right now, dead John means dead us”, Samuel adds. Gabriel looks at his brother with a little bit of awe behind his eyes, “For a second there I almost thought you cared about John until you said dead John means dead us”, Gabriel says.“Just fucking text the guy, so we can get over with this. Rachael needs us”, “We can agree on that”. Gabriel pulls out a pager from his shoe, “You just carry a pager in your shoe?” “Shut up, Sammy”. Gabriel hands it over to Samuel, “Type in the location”. Samuel types in the location of his father’s lair and hands the pager back to his brother. “This is a big dro
