Chapter 16

28th February 2258

Alecto's POV

My eyes stare out of the creak in the wall on an abandoned shack, enveloped by darkness. On the outside was a building, more specifically, a prison. After investigating the original building in Matsu, it seems we were given the wrong location.

The members would meet at this building and go there separate ways, taking several different routes. But they all ended up in the same place, Aomori prison. Almost 2 hours away from the original building.

If I didn't know there dedication then, I do now.

The group I was following had just entered, going through one of the guard towers for a few hours before coming out one by one.

Every week so far they would meet up like this. Go inside a building at Matsu, drive 2 hours to Aomori prison, then disappear inside the guard tower for several hours.

I reported this to Nezu, hoping he would warn the others about possible misdirections.

Right now, the group were beginning to leave, one by one. One by one, another member would walk out and walk into a small car sitting outside the prison. I watch as they all leave until complete silence. The moon started to rise into the sky as the sun set, an alarm rang from the inside, signifying the inmates going to sleep.

Inside the shack, I was wearing simple civilian clothing, allowing my face to roam free. A duffel bag was strung over my shoulder, containing my suit. Getting changed, I strap my gear onto my body, leaving my bow inside the bag but wrapping the sheath of my blade around my waist.

Throughout my observation, one guard was stood by the tower, the same guard that was stood outside the last meeting, and I'm going to pay him a visit.

He steps outside the gate, unexpectedly walking to his car and getting ready to go home.

I wrap a coat around my shoulders and grab a helmet, placing it over my head. Walking out of the shack, I throw my leg over my bike and press a small button on the handlebar. The bike let out a low growl, almost unnoticeable, even in the silence.

I watch intently as the man started up his car and drove off. I twisted the throttle lightly, moving me forward. My headlight was off as I followed, making him completely unaware of my movements. Not a sound erupted from my vehicle, and no light was ejected.

I was one with the dark, hunting my prey.

Pulling up to an apartment complex, I follow him up, throwing a small device onto his back.

He walks into the building oblivious to my actions. Pulling out a thin pair of glasses, I place them over my eyes. I watch as The lens light up, a flashing blue light arose from the guards body, rising higher and higher into the building.

Soon enough, the flashing blue light stopped moving and slowly moved along the same level. I park my bike near the building, leaving it by the opposite side of the road and moved to the side of the building the blue light was on.

I analysed the wall ahead of me and gripped my fingers onto one of the bricks. Slowly, I lifted myself up, placing my feet onto another brick and climbed the wall, reaching a window looking into the guards apartment. I press a small button on the side of my helmet.

Time to pay him a visit.

Third POV

The man walked around his apartment, whistling a small tune as he sat down onto his couch. His body sank into the cushions in relief, finally getting a moment of rest and comfort for the day.
