Chapter Thirty- Two: News

Days went, the friends: Ava, Christopher, Robert and Crystal together spend quality time. It's as if Damian didn't happen. Everything went back to normal, like when they were trainees. Not many crimes, if there were, they were petty.  Stewart and Christopher maintain the organization with Cindy away on her adventure. The days seems quiet, like Damian was all their problems. They felt accomplished they received many: a flat for themselves as a group, now that they are senior agents. The mornings all go the same, and so will this one with a little attack from the news center. 

Christopher phone rings as it vibrates and makes it way closer to falling off the edge of the table. He quickly catches it at last minute before it crashes. He reads the caller's I.D: Cindy, then looks over at Ava who strides in with the first set of plates full of breakfast. 

"Who is it?", she asks as she brush her hands on her apron. 

"Cindy"

"She's back already, I think she flew across the country," Ava replies as she stops in front of Chris and looks at the phone for herself. She swipes the screen as her face lurches to a concern gaze. Cindy isn't supposed to be back until a week time. Something must have gone wrong. Probably Live or Evil, as Cindy calls him. 

"I'm right outside your door, get out"

"What? Why?"

"Just do as I say all of you"

Avagay and Christopher look at each other mirroring the same expression. Ava takes off her apron and calls out the rest as she goes for her jacket and boots. 

"I said you need to get out now," Cindy bark is heard over the phone as the rest enters the living area. 

"We are coming out now, God damn it!" Avagay grabs the phone from her partners hand and opens the door. She waves at the black vehicle parked at the front of their house. Crystal steps beside her Christoopher behind. 

"Where the hell is Stewart and Robert. Get out there now? There is a damn bomb in your house"

"What?", Avagay whisper shouts.

"This is a prank isn't it," Crystal says clearly adopting Ava's way of communicating. 

"If it was would I be here? In less than a minute that bomb will go off. Get your ass out of there!", Cindy says as she winds down her window, showing her dirt filled face. 

"Get out! Get out now!" Christopher screeches. He pushes the two females in front of him, then drag Robbert along with him. A shot goes off in the air that catches Christopher in his leg. Avagay turns back to help him. They run towards the car but don't make it before the bomb goes off.

The building goes up in flames as the couple hits the floor Christoher using his body to shield Avagay. She holds him close in attempt to help. Their ears ring like that time in warehouse, as their vision blurs. They are dragged up by the others and the car rushes down the road when everyone is safe inside. 

Vision now clear Avagay looks back at the house on fire. No one is chasing them; however, something still feels wrong. She swallows harshly and look in front of her, at Cindy's head back. 

"Where is Stewart?"

"What happened there?"

Cindy and Avagay both ask as their eyes meet each other in the rear-view mirror.
