THE FORCES

"Why? What did I do?"

'You didn't ask me about my weekend. It's a routine remember?'

'I know you already screwed someone this weekend."

"I still like to say it.'

"Sure thing, so how was your weekend?

Dwight grinned as he replied. "The best, I have finally slept with the twin sisters, Ruby and Randy. They were awesome in bed"

Hazel inwardly retched but still plastered a fake smile on her face.

"Wow, that's good. I hope you do know HIV is real"

"Come on, don't spoil my mojo. Besides it won't get to me. Am immune 100%"

"But you aren't immune to becoming a dad in high school"

"About that..." Dwight said scratching his head.

"You got someone pregnant?" Hazel asked alarmed.

"Nope, my condoms have finished, could you pretty please get me another?"

"No, I'm not"

"Please girlfriend, please..."

"I said no, why can't you get it yourself?"

"You know why"

"Actually I don't. you keep on saying I know why, but you haven't given a reason in the first place"

"Come on..."

"You two look perfect for each other" Alyssa said standing in their front.

"Holy mother of…. When did you get back?" Dwight asked as he stood up and pulled her in a tight hug.

Alyssa laughed as she said Two days ago"

And you didn't bother to inform me? Dwight asked hurt.

"I came yesterday. Where the hell were you?"

"Hi Alyssa" Hazel said from her seat.

"Just hi?" Dwight said looking at hazel.

"Oh, she has given me a killer hug yesterday. I think she practically jumped on me" Alyssa said as she sat down in between Hazel and Dwight.

"You didn't tell me Hazel" Dwight blink.

"I thought it should be a surprise. Hell, Alyssa I love your new dye"

"What new dye?"

"Your hair. The edges are blue. Didn't you do that?"

"What? no I didn't, how the hell did this happen?" Alyssa said pulling at her hair.

Cyril was engaged in a hot argument with the rest of the directors. They were seated in an office as Cyril held an ice pack to the back of his head.

I can't believe that you let the inners escape. This was under your jurisdiction. How could you let this happen?

"Like I said before, we were taken unawares. The inners knew about the place and they came prepared". Cyril said wincing a bit.

"Excuses excuses. I knew a 19-year-old was not cut out for this kind of responsibilities. I told your father that it was a bad idea putting you in charge, you ought to be in school". One of the female director said.

"Don't you dare talk trash about my father. My father made no mistake, putting me in charge of you all. So mind the way you talk, unless you want your tongue to be ripped out"

"Threatening each other and fighting is not a good idea. We can't afford this, at the critical moment. We need to work together to find out a solution. The number of new breakouts are increasing rapidly and we will soon go into a full blown war. We need to know how to capture tem now" Director Jason under the department of weapons and machinery said.

"Good idea, Jason. I approve of that idea. So does anyone have any ideas about how we can go about it?"

"What about the screening? The test we do give the schools in the city periodically to monitor their change in DNA?"

"That's already in progress. My doctors told me that today they will go to Force High for their periodic maintenance". A director under the department of health related researches said.

"Force high huh? Isn't that the school that your fiancée goes to?" The rude woman from earlier said.

"Yeah she does and in case you have forgotten that's the best school in the state. And my mum is the owner of it. Or are you still whining about the fact that your sons got put in the public waste bin of a school, irrespective of the title you hold here." Cyril said smirking.

"How dare you…. " she said slamming her hand on the table standing up.

"And what are you going to do about it?"

"Oh I will...."

"Enough" The H.O.D yelled as he stood up between them. "That's enough both of you. That's it. This meeting is adjourned till further notice. Both of you go resolve your differences" He continued as the lady stomped out of the meeting.

Cyril looked at her retreating figure and said "Tell me why again, my father didn't sack her"

"She's good at what she does. Although she can be a pain in the ass. Sometimes". Jason said.

"What's your name?" Cyril asked pointing at the guy from the health related research department.

"Mr. Thomas Morgan sire". He responded.

"Thomas. When are your doctors supposed to come for the periodic maintenance?"

"Today in roughly two hours why?"

"No reason. Just want to know."

"Has your fiancée gotten checked up yet?"

"No, she hasn't. I thought I said she won't be subjected to the test. She is not a lab rat". Cyril said angrily.

"Nobody is getting special treatment. You took the test so did . Unless there is something that you are hiding from us."

"There is nothing"

"Good, then it won't be a problem if we subject your fiancée to the test. After all she's 100% human". He said as he paced his bag and left, leaving Cyril alone.

****************

"So can you guys please remind me why school was mandatory today, yet no classes? Alyssa asked.

Like we said before, The Force High Industries has assigned a group of doctors to come and carry out their tests.

What tests?

Periodic maintenance of our DNA to check if there is any change, duh. You know for a fiancée; you seem to know nothing about your fiancé duties. Dwight said.

How many times did I get you that I don't give a crap about what Cyril does? That's his business. He should know that he's still in high school. He will fail his classes. Alyssa said.

Well, lucky him that his mother just happens to be the owner of the school. I won't be surprised if they give him an outstanding result, no doubt the best to be ever recorded. Hazel said rolling her eyes.

"Now that's just petty, you are just saying that because you think he's standing in your way of getting that title. I don't think Cyril would give a damn about his grades. He has a company to run." Dwight said.

"Guys, back to the tests, what's it like?" Alyssa asked looking between Dwight and hazel
