Chapter 24 - The everyday apocalypse

Less than five minutes after the poke, a police car arrived and my friend came out with another partner, or rather a partner. This is Asami Nakaoka, I've seen her at the station a couple of times, and we know each other.

—" Dad!" — shouted Rei, who hugged me and cried, after all, such stress does not go away quickly. But as soon as she saw her father, she ran screaming to Miyamoto Sr.

— "Rei!... oh my Goodness." — he saw black cars and bodies scattered around them, besides there was clearly blood on the asphalt. — "Who is their ... it is clear." — he nodded his head, seeing me in slightly bloody clothes and Saeko, who was cleaning the blade of blood with the clothes of one of the unsuccessful kidnappers. Miyamoto's partner was clearly surprised and, just in case, put her hand on the service weapon in the holster.

— "I think if we interrogate them, they will tell who paid them... I hope this will be another nail in the coffin of this bustar... Ichiro."

— "Children, did someone help you?" — Asami asked, walking around the people and checking their pulse.

— "No. There were no people around, so no one could help us... we had to cope by ourselves. " — Saeko calmly replied, who liked to beat the kidnappers during the fight.

— "I'm already starting to be afraid of you... it's the second time I've caught you after the beating" — Father Rei obviously joked about Saeko and me, but there was really some apprehension in his voice.

— "Dad, if it wasn't for Felix and Saeko's operational actions... then they... they could have taken me away." — the girl sniffed and continued the story. —" We were walking after training and, as usual, decided to go through the park and as soon as we got out of it, these two cars blocked the road for us. Then that one." — she pointed her finger at the lying body. — "He told us to get in the car or it would hurt us... in general, he needed me and Alicia."

—" I'm sorry... if it wasn't for this investigation, none of this would have happened." — Father Rei sincerely apologized.

—" Detective Miyamoto ..." — the girl turned to Rei's father very respectfully. — "This one has a puncture wound and if first aid is not provided, he may die from bleeding." — she said. — "And I think I recognize these faces…"

— "They are from the local Yakuza cell, a couple of times I saw some of them in the department." — he said after carefully examining a couple of bodies. —" I'm calling an ambulance, and you tell me in detail what happened and how." — he said and turned his head as if looking for something. —" There are no cameras here, it's a pity."

The story turned out to be short-lived and all this time the girls were looking at me, as if asking what the hell had happened recently and how I could push the car away with a simple kick. But it is worth saying that they did not mention these rather strange moments or simply bypassed them, even Rei bypassed this moment and did not tell the whole truth to her father. But even what we said was enough to put these Yakuza behind bars. Of course, the police had questions for us, after all, we inflicted quite severe injuries on them. What is only a guy with a broken spine or with a pierced leg, otherwise we could also be accused of exceeding self-defense, but taking into account who my parents are and that with our help the police got even closer to Sido, all this was simply hushed up.

And after a couple of days, the girls could not stand it and, together, squeezed me at the Academy for questioning. Before that, they tried to ask delicately about what happened, but apparently my ignoring such hints did not work.

— "Bro-th-e-er"— Alicia drawled and stood in front of me. —" Is there anything you want to tell us? Or at least your beloved sister?"

— "Beloved because the only one?" — I grinned. — "And in general, correct the form, again you walk like a clumsy."

— "Don't gone off topic." — my sister said, but still allowed me to button her shirt.

—" Yes, Felix, we have questions." — confirmed the words of Sister Rei.

— "Dear Saeko, are you going there too? "— I turned my gaze to the girl standing steadfastly ... but she could not stand my gaze and turned away.

—"I'm... just curious, too." — the girl spoke softly.

— "Oh, girls, I don't want to lie to you because I consider each of you a person close to me." — I confessed and ... did not expect such a reaction. If Alicia just smiled fervently, because she knew that I loved her, then the rest of the girls ... Rei blushed deeply and rested her gaze on the ground, and Saeko also turned pink, but her gaze returned to me, as if she had heard something very important.

— "What's the strange reaction?" — I asked, looking at them.

— "N—nothing! — Miyamoto shouted sharply and exhaled, continuing. —"We've seen... your strength and it's clearly not normal… you're our friend and we want to know if you're okay. Even your sister didn't know about your capabilities."

—" Hmm. Do you really want to know?" — I asked a question and... and they nodded. —" My parents asked me not to tell you this, because you... you could have blabbed." — I said to my sister.

— "So, what is it that you've been hiding from me?" — the girl frowned.

— "Oh, let's go to our house after school and I'll tell you there in a calm atmosphere.... and I'll even show you." — I decided.

This decision itself is not to say very stupid, after all, it is unlikely that they will want to specifically frame me, but they can just blab to their parents ... although they probably won't even believe them if my parents don't tell the truth themselves. After class, we all got in the car and the driver took us to our home, where I started telling from afar.

— "As you know, I am, one might say, a scientist. Therefore, I am also interested in my changes, but I can't say much, since I haven't found out much myself." — I started telling the girls who were sitting on the couch opposite me. —" It all started before I was born, my parents were transporting some cargo from Umbrella Corporation there, and because of the careless landing of the plane, the cargo was damaged and my mother, Alice, cut herself on the leaked cargo. Umbrella themselves said it was chemical waste…"

— "Mom didn't tell me about it." — the sister said, frowning. —"Is that why you're so strong? Are you like a superhero?"

— "No... more precisely, yes. What then got into my mother went into the embryo of the unborn me and changed. Not that much... but I suspect that my eyes have become like this because of this. It's a virus, not some kind of supersoldier serum. And this virus is slowly developing in me, that's why I'm so strong, my muscles just changed and thickened. And regeneration has grown." — I showed my fist, which was pretty badly damaged after hitting the asphalt, but now everything is fine and there are scratches.

—" That's not all, is it?" — Saeko asked, as if sensing that I wasn't telling her something.

— "No, not everything... it's just an explanation of my physical strength. In general, here." — I turned on that video for the girls. In the process, the girls' faces changed from confusion to fear and some kind of misunderstanding.

— "Biological weapons?" — Alicia said softly. — "So... there are walking dead?" — this question worried my sister the most.

— "Well, it's unlikely that they are so dead... in fact, most likely their personality is dead — yes, but the body continues to live. Roman got this video, a friend sent it to him... "— I explained everything else and the actions of my parents lately.

— "You've been hiding so much from me." — Alicia said, clearly upset. —"You... you don't trust me at all?"

— "Alicia, don't be silly." — I turned out to be near my sister and grabbed her in her arms. — "We all love you, we just didn't want to spoil your childhood…"

— "So you could spoil it, but I couldn't?" — she still hasn't completely forgiven me for hiding such important information.

— "I ... I am mentally somewhat older than you, so I calmly accepted it and this information did not interfere with my life much. Yes, and I had you... but you, Alicia, could take this information hard... especially the part where Umbrella's plans flashed."

—" Japan was marked on the map there, namely Tokyo… That's not what I'm thinking, is it?" — Rei asked out loud, tucking her legs under her.

— "We don't know... many of the richest people in the world began to do very atypical things for them, like buying an island and building a fence around it... they obviously know something, but they don't plan to tell the public."

— "Excerpts of the video were walking on the Internet ... "— the sister recalled that case. — "Is this your job?"

— "Yes... we tried to alert people, but Umbrella coped with it pretty quickly and ridiculed those who posted it. And many people just don't believe it, don't want to believe it."

—" So... you just have to hope for the best?" — Saeko understood.

— "What about the journalists? Give all the information to the news so that they spread it…"

— "Rei... they tried to kidnap us recently because of a pathetic politician with a low rating. And he's only one and not too smart... and imagine a huge Umbrella corporation that has more resources and people. So, there are also a lot of acquaintances... they will just crush us and not choke." — Busujima spoke up. — "There will be no freedom of speech or what they say in America... there will be an accident and our dead bodies. If it's important to them, they'll get rid of us."

—"But... what about..." — I didn't know what to say to Rei, who, after recent cases, realized that even law enforcement agencies are not always able to help and catch a criminal, since they have to follow the law, but the criminals themselves ... they can do anything.
