chapter 11
The interview was over and Jane was gone. Nothing special happened during the interview. I didn't feel that heat between us too, like how I felt during our first meeting. Was it because of Rachel? It could be, but I don't know. I think Rachel had grown on to me in those some days and I started to like her and I felt so free be with her too, So I think It really was effect of Rachel. I was thinking all that sitting on my chair. I needed some fresh air so I went outside of the building and I didn't feel any refreshment so I called Rachel. (on phone) " Hi, what's going on, You free?" I asked her. "yeah, but why?" She asked. " Let's go somewhere together, I am getting bored in here" I said. " Really, Devin Allen getting bored from work, Okay meet me at city park, I just need to grab some things from my apartment" She replied. So I called my driver and headed towards the city park. I reached there and I ordered driver to go and then I started to walk in the park waiting for Rachel. Then after some time she arrived. " So, where are we going" I asked. " Shopping" She replied. We left the park and reached at the Central Mall. It was quite big building, We got inside and there were thousands of people there. So we headed to the upper floors and then Rachel started buying some dresses and I was just with her. We were having some fun there. Then when we were on the third floor suddenly a explosion happened in the building and It shook the ground, We couldn't process what just happened, It was all of a sudden and then then the people panicked they started to run towards the exit door and then another explosion happened at the exit door, It was a terrorist attack they had fit the bombs around all the exit doors and also at some hidden places. Some people started to cry they were in fear and terror. Rachel was also in terror she was so scared she was holding to my shoulder very tight. " Hey, don't be afraid, okay" I tried to comfort her. " Oh no, I am scared, I am scared, please" She started sobbing. So I took her to some safe place where there were no heavy crowd, It was the lift area. I didn't understand, If it was really a terrorist attack why nobody tried to take us as hostages. Then the rescue force arrived outside, they were trained so they somehow got inside the building. The announcement happened outside. " Everyone please stay calm, It was a terrorist attack, they fitted the bombs inside the building, our rescue force have arrived, they are gonna diffuse the bombs, there are no terrorist inside, so don't panic". There were no terrorist, It was clear, it was done by a single person and he was looking at every stir from somewhere, so if someone tried to leave he was going to explode the bomb. So me and Rachel just stayed there at the lift area. Then suddenly I heard something, It was very low sound but I was able to hear it because of my super hearing. I headed to the direction from where the sound was coming from. The more I was walking towards it the more clear sound was getting, then suddenly I heard a voice from behind. " what are you trying to do, don't walk around anywhere, It's dangerous" that voice said. I turned and it was a man wearing vest and rifle in his hand, he was someone from the rescue force. So I told him that I heard a sound coming from there that's why I was there. He told me that it was not my work to care about any sounds, so I better leave the place. Then I agreed and started to walk back but then I heard the sound again and now It was more clear, It was someone in the elevator. then I turned back and told the officer that there was someone in the elevator and we should go and check it in the elevator. But he said no," You, you go back and there is no one in the elevator, we evacuated everyone to the safety, so you better leave". But I was sure there was someone, so I didn't agree to him and started to go check in the elevator, the officer headed towards me trying to stop me. Then I looked right at his eyes" You are going to do what I say, You are not gonna stop and you're going to help me find who is in the elevator" I compelled him with my power, I was a human but I still had some powers in me. So he agreed. I opened the elevator door and entered inside the elevator with the officer, then we opened the upper opening of the elevator and we were on the top of the elevator, the sound was getting more clearer to me, It was someone trying to fit something, Then I hung on the elevator cable which was holding the elevator and sliding down to the lower elevator. Then I tried to concentrate, I was trying to to locate the elevator from where the sound was coming from.
