Something Planned

By
            JR had barely driven two kilometers before he pulled back the sleeve of his shirt to expose his left forearm. It was veined with glowing green crystal, and his skin burned slightly though he had learnt the hard way not to scratch.             He drove back to the ruined mansion where he had found the crystal, intent on discovering what had happened the night before. He had been listening to the news all day and every time the story of the impaled people came on, he had a sickening feeling and a vision of him pounding the ground.             It took him a few minutes to find the entrance when he arrived at the mansion. This time there was nothing to guide him and his memory was foggy, only bits and pieces seemed familiar.             JR got to the room where he had found the crystal but it was empty, even the light that had been in the hallways and rooms were gone. JR thought for a moment that his mind had played tricks on him, but the crystal veins on his left ar

Something Celebrated

Edward woke up to the sound of his cellphone ringing. He was still at Aaliyah's apartment, though they had moved to her bed sometime through the early morning after coming to the conclusion that the carpet just wouldn't cut it.             Aaliyah wasn't in the room, but Ed figured that she had either gone to work or had some other obligation to fulfill.

She wore an old Golden Lions jersey and

  “Briefing room, now,” Ian said as he entered the office. Everyone just stared at him as he entered the briefing room. “Please,” he said, poking his head out the door as he realized no one was moving. The Cornel and Monroe were the first to enter, followed by a few other members of the Cyber Crime division.   “This had better be good,” said someone as they entered.   “I thought we would only see you Monday,” said the Cornel.   “Yeah, well, long story. Anyway, I was looking for Thor yesterday,”   “And you found him?” asked Monroe.   “No, well. Sort of, that’s not important,”   “I’ll be the judge of that,” said the Cornel.   “Fine, I tacked his packets back to the Wi-Fi routers at Emperor’s Palace, last one was sent seconds before the predicted T.O.D,”   “Them we have him,”   “No, we don’t,”   “Yes we do,” said Monroe, “someone had to have seen him, if not then the camera’s had to,”   “I’ve looked through two hours of footage, it’s gonna be a nightmare,”   “How did you get
