THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS-Chapter 147: Escort Mission [2]
"I’m glad you understand this just like I do, there’s nothing sweeter than two minds deducing a complicated mystery. The virus is more that we have viewed in the years, I’m afraid there will be more to it. Do you think we can handle these drastic changes, Dr Touka?"
Touka couldn’t answer that question not because she didn’t have an answer but because she wasn’t prepared to voice her thoughts. This was too much on a wide scale.
Even though they were both two minds at work. It was a heavy topic.
"Black Storm day" he continued. "That day has always been in my mind, the sudden explosion, the day that caused the end of the world" he states. It was considered the end of the world no one saw coming.
A moment that reshaped history and changed their lives for good.
Touka gulps hard.
"That day has always been in my mind too," she said.
"It makes you wonder, who is behind it? It could be a terrorist or a foreign government to outsmart us but I highly doubt that because there are no life forms on earth" he said.
"A terrorist then," Touka said.
"Yes, a terrorist, Dr. Touka," he said, facing her.
"One that might be amongst us, the very villain that caused this to happen" he states.
Touka’s eyes trembled at his words.
"You seem to be really engrossed in all the mysteries of black storm".
"I am, but more of the virus, the mysteries of it are so overwhelming that it makes you wonder who created such a virus," he said, staring into space.
"A genius maybe" he adds.
"Why would someone do something as inhuman as this, to end the world in a blink of an eye and spread a virus that can only enhance certain kids" she said trembling.
"That’s is yet another untold mystery to be solved"

"Come in, this is Commander Shino, Team B, Team C" Shino said to his comm.
"Still on the move, Commander Shino" Ten’s voice sounds.
"Same here, no Kaiju on sight" Kaneki’s voice sounds.
"Here too, it’s a clear path," Shino said.
"Keep moving, do not slow down or otherwise" Anzai’s voice came in.
"Yes Sir!".

"Hiro," Yuki said behind Hiro.
He turned his head slightly but still kept his gaze to the road.
"It’s strange isn’t it" she said.
"It’s only neutral Yuki, we defeated the Alpha, maybe there’s not a Kaiju in sight yet or another pack" Hiro said for certain.
"Maybe that’s the only Alpha, the only high level Sp2 Kaiju" he adds.
"Maybe" she said with an unreadable expression.
Her eyes avert as she surveyed the area, there were buildings far ahead, the path they were in was covered in dried earth with a few sand. It was free, no threat in sight.

’Kimura Hiro’ Mosu thought sternly, he never took his eyes off him as they rode, his body boiling with rage. He still remembered what Hachiro told him a day ago or more, threatened him.
***
One Day Ago
Mosu bumps into Hachiro unknowingly, he growls looking up but froze when he saw it was his superior.
"I’m sorry Dr. Hachiro, I didn’t see you there," he said.
"You should look where you are going, Saionji Mosu" Hachiro said in a slow deadly tone, his glasses blank white.
Mosu sweated slightly at his dark words.
"People make mistakes all the time... not keeping their eyes focused on where they should be going, they tend to diversify and bump into things they shouldn’t" he states, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Mosu was smart enough, so he knew what he meant, his eyes shaking tremendously at his words.
"Bumping into things they shouldn’t could get them in a whole lotta trouble and consequences... which is why I always tell my colleagues to be mindful of where they cross" he adds with a squeeze on his shoulder before pulling away.
"You know the Prime Minister asked us for some samples on bio-genetics, we’re still debating, though, of who we will choose to use for the samples," he said as his glasses cleared.
"He expects us to inform him of our decision when we get back to base, the procedure would take months and dissection" he said with a thought face.
Mosu was literally shaking where he was.
"You have caught my attention today, Saionji Mosu" he said walking right past him, his footsteps haunting as he exited the lobby.
Mosu fist clenched as well as his teeth.
***
Present Day
’The doctors are covering for him also’ he thought with clenched teeth. His eyes burning hate where he was.
’What’s so special about him, huh?’ His fist tightened on his throttle.
"Mosu, are you okay?" San asked puzzled behind him, he noticed how tensed his body was.
"I’m fine" he said sternly as his biogenetics eyes beamed dangerously.
"Perfectly fine" he adds.
San blinks puzzled, knowing he didn’t sound fine.

"So far so good, I don’t see anything," Sumi said looking around.
"Seems like we’re getting to Fukuoka without any attack" she adds.
"But still, don’t let your guard down, you know the Kaiju are unpredictable" he states.
Sumi just rolled her eyes, it then landed on his robot arm.
"Nice arm," she said sarcastically.
"You totally took badass now... tell me what it does" she said smirking.
Shino sighs knowing Sumi was starting again.
"Do you ever get tired of annoying people?" he began facing her, their eyes met.
"What’s with the sudden question" she asked grimacing.
"I’m curious to know," he said.
"Curious to know what?!"
"How you turned out like this" he states.
Sumi froze at his words, her eyes went wide... no one has ever been inquisitive about her, they were all so certain she was this way with her attitude but never for once ask her why.
A flick of blue light passed, Sumi gaps as her eyes travelled to it but it was too late as a blue beam of energy smashed right in front of them causing a crash.
