“Any news?” Stephen asked, playing with a early twentieth century cubic.
“No,” Dora's disembodied voice replied, “at least not on the news or from Otunba's platoon.”
“Have you found them yet?”
“Almost, Stephen. Give me an hour,” she said. Tiny white pixels gathered together and formed Dora's feminine hologram.
“We need to find them before he does, Dora.”
“I understand,” she said and lightly patted his shoulder.

They didn't seem like terrorists. They didn't talk like one so why was the government after them?
Elijah observed as each of them got lost in their own heads. He wished they'd just tell him what was going on. He has been traveling with them for a while now, even got attacked too. Why didn't they trust him t

“One. Go, go, go, go,” Alpha urged.All four doors bursted open and its passengers ran out and into the station. Elijah noticed that all four of them were males with different attires. Not one looked like the other. They ran, alarming people as they did. As they ran past the checking point, everywhere glowed red and train station AI reported presence of terrorists. Fear gripped the people walking about the station as they let out screams and ran for their lives.The gates that led to the train slowly began to close. Desperate for safety, Elijah yelled to the other two to hurry. Temi went past first, followed closely by Ire. Elijah sidled in as the gate closed shut behind him.“Where is Dad?” Temi asked as they were about to climb in the train.The three kids spun and searched the crowd running into the train for the Doctor.“There!” Temi shouted, pointing to a figure at t

Ovic Incorporation3/4/20306:30pmHe groaned and moaned in pain, lying down on his stomach. His body splayed on the cold white floor. Wherever he held prisoner smelled horrible like urine and sweat. With pain, he raised his head and pushed his body up in a sitting position. He sighed and rubbed the crust from his eyes. Thanks to the dim light, he could see a little of the room. He was its only occupant and the walls were white but stained with either dried blood or dirty hand marks.He inched forward only to be startled by the echoing sound of rattling chains. He looked down at his hands and realised he was chained. Wasn't he cuffed by a police robot? He suddenly remembered been hit by a man wearing a gas mask. Who was this man? Where was he?A part of the full white wall pushed forward and shifted to the left, letting a flood of bright light enter the room. The click of heels could be heard as a figure stepp

On the train3/4/20307:00pmThe train conductor bot just announced the next stop. All three children sat together holding hands. Discouraged and exhausted, their wet and red rimmed eyes had people staying away from them.What if they had the Virus, they thought.Not long after, they slept, having troubling dreams of their own. Alpha stayed alert, silently watching over them from Dayo's Celo.Ovic Incorporation4/4/203012 noon“So are you going to do it or not?”Sharon observed as Yomi set Third to abuse her husband physically and verbally, and yet Dayo didn't budge from his mute position. Her heart tugged at the sight of bruises all over him but she couldn't do anything. She had to pl

Ovic Incorporation4/4/20304:00pmOnlineHer eyes pried open and met with light. It was not blinding at all. Everywhere was just bright.Who was she? What was she? What was her name?A man stepped into view and bent over her. He was bald and appeared to be in his mid forties. She focused on his face. She did not recognize him but knew him.“Third,” he said.She immediately registered that as her name. Third. She was One Nine Two Point Three, also known as Third. She remained on the flat cool white surface which she registered as bed. She could not move. Her body was not hers. She felt a dark wall in the corner of her mind preventing her from thinking too much or making actions.“Who is your Creator, Third?”In a robot-like clear voice, her lips moved, “My Creator is the powerful and cunning Doctor Yomi.”“Go

“Sharon?”Glassy and wavering eyes met his. Her brows knotted in confusion for awhile. Her lips parted to speak but only a wail escaped. Racking sobs came from her as she raised her hands to touch him.Dayo felt himself pulled back before she could.“No, no. We can't have our genius doctor infected before we can have the cure. Shut up, woman or I will make you never speak again,” Yomi said. Immediately, Sharon pressed her trembling lips together and held back cries.Dayo felt a cold air blast at him from head to toe. This was the new sanitization protocol.“Much better,” Yomi said. “Welcome back from the land of the almost dead, Sharon. We were just talking about you. Weren't we, Dayo?”Dayo ignored him. He did not take his eyes off his wife. He observed as her chest rose and fell at a quick pace. He saw the twitch of her fingers and the sweat that grew on her fore

Well, things could be easier now. Right? Elijah thought.“How are we going to get an auto to the Port now?” He heard Ire ask.Elijah silently cursed himself for hoping things could be easy.“We hotwire one,” Temi simply said. Elijah noticed how she answered so calmly. What was going on in that small head of hers?“Could we find a way to change our disguises first?” Elijah asked.“You have to manage this for now,” Alpha replied. “I can't change your appearance right away.”“All right then. We steal a car,” Ire said. He brought his finger to his lips and bit the nails. Elijah fought the urge to slap his finger away from his mouth.“Are you guys going to stand there all day or let me direct you to a car to steal?” Alpha asked.“I'm just surprised we are discussing this so causally.” He fell in line with the others, reading the words i

Port Harcourt5/4/20307:00 amThe automobile sped across the streets like any other vehicles. Temi drummed her fingers on her lap, observing the cars and the buildings.“Could we get something to eat first?” Ire asked.Elijah's stomach growled in agreement. Embarrassed, he chuckled. She let a smile draw on her lips as she watched him.“There is a restaurant up ahead. What would you like to eat?” Alpha asked.“Jollof rice!” The two boys exclaimed.“With fried chicken,” Ire added.“Fried Turkey for me,” Elijah said.“What about you, Temi?”“I'm ok. Water, perhaps.”She felt Elijah's eyes on her. Ever since he knew her secret, he treated her like an egg. Just like Dad. She was extremely grateful when Alpha had changed his appearance. Seeing Dad after so long had her tearing up.
