Chapter 2
"Okay then. I'm Ariana Diaz."
"And I'm Damien Bolton"
Then It dawned on me. I was talking to a Bolton!
The Boltons are the owners of Istoria. Most hospitals, schools, homes, supermarkets etc. are owned by Bolton Enterprises.
I then theorized that he was Damien, as in the heir to Bolton Ent. What would he be doing in the AID? Based on the fact that AID was very powerful and had elite and very talented people working for and under them. They were literally the elite and main law enforcement agencies. Apart from the IPD, There were other departments under them such as the IHD (Istorian Help Department), the ICPD (Istorian Civilian Police Department) and many others. So it made a bit of sense that he would be there as Bolton Enterprises donated a lot to AID. But why was he at the registration panel? Was he going to become a police officer?
'Ariana, you're out of your mind this time. Surely he can't be there to become a "police officer". But what if?Hmm...'
I was too busy thinking about him being there that I didn't notice that people were walking frantically into the bathrooms or to the fire exits. I sensed something was wrong at the time.
Damien stopped talking.
'I can't believe I didn't hear a word he said!'
He must have sensed that something was wrong too. The lights in the office flickered.
We both looked at each other in silence. It was like we both knew what was going on.
He gestured that I should go to a bathroom or stay out of sight but I gave him a 'Don't-you-dare-think-that- I-can't-handle-the-situation' look. He finally gave in and told me to keep up.
'The nerve of him!'
He pulled out two pairs of contacts and told me to wear one pair. I brought out my satchel and took out my contacts that resembled his, only mine were pink.
"Where did you get those?" He asked skeptically
"Why are you asking?"
"They aren't supposed to be released until next year"
"Well I have my sources"
I giggled silently and he joined chuckling.
The real reason was that I actually got all my devices in my satchel. Both new and old. I suspected someone was going to show me up with a new device of their own so I brought mine, after begging my dad to use his connections and it was worth it. I mean this is state of the art tech.
We were walking when I sensed something.
I looked back for a second, no half of a second, and found a man wearing black clothes with a knife that was so close to chopping my ear off. I used my Tai Chi training to knock him out silently.
'I am well versed in martial arts'
Damien looked at me and saw an unconscious man in front of me. He even acted surprised for like 0.9 secs before we continued walking.
I told him to be careful as that could not have been the only one sent here. That one was probably to monitor the perimeter. Then Damien acted like a sleuth.
I just looked at him in disappointment and continued forward where we found the stunned body of the receptionist attending to us earlier.
We were both surprised at the same time, a bit worried and with a dash of excitement. Then he got serious and looked at the unconscious man I knocked down earlier. He checked inside the man's jacket and found a black star-like brooch with intricate designs at the middle.
"Oh no! It can't be possible"
