“I just didn’t want any of this, I wanted to live a normal life” she added and Roman felt overwhelmed by guilt “I am so sorry I did this to you, i-I just couldn’t control shifting and I did something stupid which I’m so sorry for. I know sorry can’t change anything but please..” he begged and she exhaled before letting out a faint smile “It’s fine, the deed has been done and it wasn’t intentional” she shrugged before going silent “Yeah so um..” they said simultaneously , breaking the awkward silence between them “Oh its fine you go first” Roman chortled nervously “No no, you should say what you want to please” Harley insisted “Okay fine” Roman swallowed, “about the kiss…I’m very sorry and I” she interrupted him “It’s fine, I was going to apologize for that too but I guess our mind is working in sync” she grinned “Righttt, but it was totally okay on my part. No awkwardness here” he teased playfully and she laughed softly before smiling at him and sipping from her cup There is
“I-erm….Nahh I’m not- I’m not really interested” Dylan denied with a nervous chuckleSheriff Hardin let out a little laugh at his son’s denial, he knows Dylan more than anybody and that was enough for him to know he really wants to go but due to the state of insecurity he knows his dad might not let him go“You can go” He said and Dylan took a pause with the croissant in his hand“Really dad?” he asked with excitement“Of course, but you must be back in the house latest by 9 and no unauthorized hikes to places searching for anything okay?” Sheriff Hardin emphasized on the searching, he knows Dylan still hasn’t let go on his own private little investigation.“Fine dad” Dylan exhaled in defeat as he quickly understood what his dad meant“But any luck with the cases dad?” he added as he sipped from his coffee“Well I would say I’m making progress but then there’s just a lot of things that don’t exactly make any sense but I just really hope to figure it out you know…soon enough people wou
“Are you sure, you look-what are these?” Sheriff Hardin asked with his attention focused on them and she immediately started to act uncomfortable and shaking nervously“Uh—Erm it’s nothing Hardin, I should……Maybe get going now” she replied with a nervous smile.“Oh I’m sorry, this might be the wrong time but this is my son Darien” she pulled the little boy close“Nice to meet you little champ” Sheriff Hardin stretched out his hand to shake Darien which he accepted shylyThe two way radio on his chest started going static like someone was trying to say something“Sheriff Hardin, this is Officer Perry do you copy?!” Officer Perry’s voice finally came clear“Yes I copy , what’s the matter Perry!” he replied “There’s been a possible homicide and you might need to take a look at this sir, it’s just so… I don’t even know how to describe it” Officer Perry sounded confused as he kept sighing and heaving“Roger that, I’ll be there soon” Sheriff Hardin respo
“They can say whatever and we also will tell them what we want them to hear, it’s their choice to believe it or not. But the most important thing is that you’re the sheriff and they have no choice but to listen to you” Officer Perry pushed further, trying his best to make the sheriff feel better and remind him that he is still in control of the situation“what happens when they start to protest or gang up about how tired they are?” Sheriff Hardin asked further too“People can’t protest on what they don’t understand, they can only protest when they feel we are keeping the truth or we aren’t making sure their safety is guaranteed. But we are, that’s why we make rules, have curfews and road checks. All for their own good, so they can’t do nothing other than spread rumors, talk, follow rules and still be patient” Officer Perry said“Because they know that anyone who breaks those rules would still be punished, victim or no victim rules are given for safety!” he added with all amount of ser
“You see, I am a very ambitious and quiet self centered scientist but I am no murderer. I am trying to create something great out of you and you….” He paused to raise Cheng’s face up by his jaw“You have refused to see that or rather your body has refused to accept that fact. I am giving you nothing but a gift, you can see that there’s really nothing in it for me” He continued his manipulative speechCheng couldn’t do anything except look at him wearily; he coughed and spat out blood. Blood kept coming out from his nose, his body wasn’t taking what Bernard has ordered Lorraine to inject him with well.“Stop fighting it, you can go great things with this power. You would be a living shape shifter with powers of taking other powers as long as you want” Bernard insisted persuasively like Cheng was the one making his body fight the chemical in his system“I-i- never wa-wanted a-an-any of this!” Cheng managed to say before coughing out more blood“Oh how pitiful, you can heal yourself from
“I’m just saying…. Our family has been through a lot. My daughter just recently died and the news was all over, Harley and Joan aren’t over it quite yet and it’s even causing a rift in my family. I don’t want our names out there again we have a reputation to uphold and I can’t get our name in the press’s mouth again,” Grey explained but Sheriff Hardin wasn’t buying it, in fact he wasn’t buying any of this.“Maybe if you’ve been such a good husband instead of a bad one and a shitty father too then you would have managed your family enough to have no issues even after your daughter’s death.” Sheriff Hardin turned to face him fully, he was right. Grey hasn’t been the best husband lately and neither has he been the best father to Harley. He has been absent and all for what?“But what did you do instead? You were screwing another woman even before your daughter died, making Joan feel like she is the problem. Even after your daughter’s death you failed to be present” He added with enough sp
He knew she would do exactly what she had said; she would take everything from him. She killed Dali without a second thought; she knows his weakness which makes him even more vulnerable. No matter what he can come up with, she has the upper hand. Now how does he want to beat that? He is using her powers and powers from her family which means she knows more about it than he does; it’s like trying to tell a car owner what to do with his car. “Mind telling me who the crazy lady was that kicked my ass and almost killed me?” Henry asked as he stood few inches behind Legion. “She’s just someone…. Nothing much that I can’t handle” Legion tried to brush it off as he brought the glass to his lips. “Someone, that someone almost choked my ass to death and nearly shattered my skull on the walls of my house. She literally brought out Dali’s heart with her hands and you didn’t seem as confident as this when she was here. So no you can’t handle it, you need to tell us what we are up against!” H
********************************************** Evening was setting and the sun was already going back in, Roman followed Harley to the school for the candle light procession because of the full moon. But mostly because he wanted to keep her safe and felt even more connected by being around her. “Thank you for doing this for me?” Harley said softly as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and they walked into school. Some students were already outside, there was tree where people were dropping flowers and different gifts. “hey, it’s nothing” Roman gave her a soft smile which she returned before walking towards the tree. It had picture frames of each student that was killed at camp and they all had flowers in front of them. Harley’s eyes scoured for Danica’s picture frame which caught her eye in a matter of seconds, her countenance changed. She felt sad and heavy, Roman knew something was wrong. He traced her eyes to what she was looking at and his gaze landed on the picture fra
