Quantum: The Stories Of Elijah Samson Book 1: The Hooded Figure

Ch. 6 Confessions

What is it with me getting knocked out?

Well, technically, I blacked out, but still, I'm pissed.

Well, at least, this time I ended up in my bed.

At what time is the real question.

Then, I heard the phone downstairs ringing.

I slowly walked downstairs, making sure not to be loud, to hear the phone stop ringing.

Then, I heard Uncle Nick's voice.

"Hello?", He asked.

"....", I heard from the phone, but I couldn't make it out.

"I thought I told you not to call the house phone.", Uncle Nick then stated.

This time, I could make something out, and it wasn't good.

"... don't want me...", I barely made out.

"Not right now. It's 4:30 in the morning.", he stated. "How about 7:00 tonight?", he suggested.

I couldn't believe my ears; my Uncle Nick is cheating on my Aunt Lucy.

What the hell, man?, I thought. You have children.

I started to go upstairs when I saw Uncle Nick when I turned around.

"Elijah? What are you doing up?", he simply asked.

"I came downstairs to get a drink.", I lied, but he quickly saw through that.

"Elijah, you are aware that I'm a detective, right?", he asked, crossing his arms.

"Fine, you caught me.", I stated, defeated. "I heard the phone ring downstairs, so-", I started to explain, but he stopped me.

"Okay, I know where this is going.", he muttered.

"Why are you cheating on Aunt Lucy?", I asked, flustered.

"Wait, what?", he asked, unaware.

"Don't you just stand there, and tell me that that phone call was not you calling your 'booty-call' for 7:00", I stated, before walking off.

"Elijah... Elijah... ELIJAH ALEXANDER SAMSON!", he shouted.

I stopped, turned around, and walked towards him.

"What?", I muttered.

"Just hear me out, okay?", he asked.

I just nodded my head.

"Thank you.", he stated before explaining, and what I found out was extremely shocking.

"That was 'Super Human Operations', and they just wanted to check up on you.", he explained.

That was the last thing I heard before fainting.

What the heck is going on with me?

Is this what it's going to be like every day as a superhero, because if so, I'm gonna hate every minute of it.

I woke up to see my Uncle Nick standing over me.

"Can you back up, please?", I muttered, before sitting up.

"Good, you're up.", he stated. "Now, we can talk.".

"I just have one question; How do you know SHO?", I asked.

"Your parents.", he simply stated. "They've been around since you and your siblings were born, tracking your every movement.", he added.
