"Michael! Where the hell did you go, you lazy jerk?!!!", I shouted as I walk around the hallway after checking the rooms from the 2nd and 3rd floors.

"I saw big brother Michael in the garden with a laptop on his lap as he stares at it blankly", Jason said while wiping his sweat as I ruffles his hair before walking to the garden.

It's been 3 days since we asks the headmaster that we will be having some rest at home after my business with the president was done. Everything went well with talking to the president as he reassured me that he will be the one to command our group when there will be another mission soon.

"You jerk!", I said as I smack his head as he rubs it while groaning in pain. "I've been looking all over for you!", I said still trying to calm myself before talking to him calmly.

"What the hell is your problem?! You could have asked anyone inside of the manor than being brutal!", he shouted back still rubbing his head.

"I need to see the files we got from the facility", I said seriously as I look at him.

"That files? Some of it is already in the tablet that I gave you years ago", he said as I click my tongue in annoyance that this idiot forgot something.

"Are you an idiot or what?", I said still trying to calm down and not to hit him again. "They took it from me years ago too, dumb dumb!!!", I shouted as I rubs my aching temple because of this idiot.

"Oh! Ha ha ha I forgot... My bad...", he said as he looks away while scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

"I'm hoping you got some backup files hidden away for us to run through with it again", I said impatiently as he quickly taps on his laptop as fast as he could go.

"Here it is! I knew that I had hidden it inside the cloud I made years ago", he said as he send the files to his tablet that is laying next to him. "Why do you need it? Are you looking up on something?", he asks as he hands me his tablet as I took it from him.

"I need to look it up again to see how we can find something to use. I got this thought running through my mind about it recently and I can't get it out of my head without reading the files again", I said as I read every research file and data carefully before spotting something odd. "Michael? Can you look up this research institute for me? It's odd that every datasheet and file had started from there before it was being transferred to the facility", I said without taking my eyes off the tablet as I kept on reading it.

"This institute?", he said confused as he looks at me like he wants to know why.

"Just do it, dummy", I said as I click my tongue and went back to the article that I'm reading now.

"The Institute of Science and Research Facility is an institute that focus and specialized in biotechnology??? What the heck are they searching for?!", he said as he stares at his laptop closely, I sit up next to him to see what he found. "It doesn't make any sense to me."

"There! That guy next to Dr. Collins in that picture", I said as I put my finger on top of the picture over the screen.

"Wait... Let's look at it closely...", Michael said as he clicks on the picture as he zoom it in just enough for us to look at it properly. "Only a few of them are some of the researchers and scientists working in the facility, even some of them met my knife as I killed them per orders", Michael commented as he gets close to the screen to look at it closely.

"It makes sense now... Some of them might be against the first research they did before Project C came into the picture", I said still staring at the picture closely.

"I saw some of them back when we receive our first kill order from Dr. Collins that time, except they were old but that one really resembles this thou", Michael pointed out as I remember some of them were my target too.

"Maybe the founder wanted to erase some potential eye witness after they went against him instead of threatening them", I said as I lean back making my arms support my back. "My headaches after thinking this much."

"Should we tell these to mom, Zeke?", Michael said as I heard his laptop snap close before I felt two pairs of eyes staring at me.

"We still need to get some more evidence if we want to appeal these to her", I reasoned as I heard him sighing in defeat.

"We don't even know who really is the founder, to begin with. So it's like hitting on a hard concrete wall after running without thinking to a dead-end", he said as we stop up as the sky become dark looking like it would suddenly burst any minute now.

"Looks like the weather really knew how to remind us to stop thinking and go back now", I said as we laugh it off while walking back inside the manor.

But my guts suddenly act up as my body shivers even if it wasn't that cold as me and Michael looks at each other like we felt the same thing. His face looks like there will be something sinister to happen together with this damn weather that gave me a thought as I shook my head.

"This is the same feeling we got when something happened back at the facility after the first havoc", I said as Michael's face suddenly paled up which made me gulp in fear like I felt that day.

"Don't jinx it up, Ezekiel! I hate being under investigation just like what happened that time!", he shouted at me as I saw mom walking towards us with a worried face.

"Not you two too!", she said as she smacks her forehead in disbelief which made me wonder in confusion. "I got a call from Mrs. Lawrence that her kids are acting up while she asks me if Jackson might be here."

"What? Why would she think about that? Jackson would never step in here while I'm around", I said as my emotions suddenly became sour as I click my tongue in annoyance.

"That's what I told her over the phone call", Mom said as she shook her head before shifting her gaze from me and Michael as she suspects us. "You two didn't do anything about that, right?"

"Mom... We rather fight each other than confront that idiot who is too full of himself", Michael said in a cold voice that made mom sigh.

"You two go eat your lunch with the others while I try to ask some people if they saw him go to their school", She said while gesturing at us to move along as we walk down the hallway.

'This is not just a coincidence that we felt that nerve-wracking feeling, right?'

••••••••••••••

Estelle Rae's POV:

"You didn't see him going to school? What?! You lost sight of him too! Just find him before he does something we can't control", I said as I end my phone call to one of the men I assigned to follow the Lawrence children, especially Jackson.

He is the only problematic child that we kept on monitoring whenever he goes because he had an abnormality that was compared to a serial killer to an extent.

"Uhh... Mom? Would you look at the news?", Samantha called out as she points her finger over the news on the TV, I drop my phone at the sight.

"Breaking News!

A murder just happened when a sudden downpour of a rain 2 hours ago as the two eye witness stated that they happened to cross path with someone wearing a black jacket with a mask on that covers his face had an argument with their friend.

The suspect was described as someone 6 feet tall with a muscular fitted body that was estimated to be around the age of 18 to 24 years old.

The police are still going a thorough investigation as----"

"So much to worry about where that jerk is, right?", Michael said as he took a sip on his hot coco that Mrs. Larson gave to us earlier.

"Do you think that is him? And what sort of evidence do you all have in mind to say that it's his doings?", I said with a hint of frustration while denying the fact that it might be him to some extent.

"Our disgusting gut feeling", all six of my children said as they look at me with serious looks on their faces that hit me head-on.

"It's not like we got this invisible thread that connects us all together", Jason said as he took another bite of his cookie jar.

"It's more like a feeling of uneasiness when someone went missing while we're still on a head count", Sherlly said as she took another sip of her drink while looking at the TV.

"After we heard you talking to someone and started to say 'find him', our guts told us that 'him' you're trying to find is that idiot", Alexa said as she flips another page of her book while holding her mug gesturing that she took a sip from it.

"To make it even worse to know that it was him, the way the victim got deadly slashes totally gave off that it was him", Ezekiel said as he stare at the news about the murder on the TV. "It's clearly his doings alright", he said as he click his tongue out of frustration.

"This is not a good timing to report it just base it on what you all just said", I said as I rubs my aching temple while trying to absorb what they just said altogether.

It will spark another rumor or worse if this situation won't come out as what we all wanted for years of hard work. All of it will be wasted when it would go out to the public that it was the work of the very secret group that the president took under his wings.

"Might as well got a mission to investigate that after we got our remaining six months of the 9 years in contract finished just to catch that idiot", Ezekiel said as some of the kids groans at the thought of it.

"I hate going around at night when I suppose to be sleeping!", Michael shouted as he grabs his hair in frustration as Alexa smack his head letting out a painful grunt.

"The president told us that after our contract is done, it's up to us if we still want to work under the country's president's commands", Ezekiel said as he grins like he had something in mind that is not healthy for me as their mother.

"We might as well as a fairly high raise in our salary than what we have already been paid off", Sherlly said as she started to be dreamy about it.

"I guess that's fair enough for making us work from day to night, right?", Michael said while rubbing his head that Alexa landed a hit.

Having to hear them talk like that is already giving me a headache, not because I'm worried for their safety, I'm worried about the outcome that the Harrison family would face if the public knew about them and their past.
