Simon and Chen got into their truck. "Hey, Paul!" Simon called out the name of the in charge. The man looked at him. "We should go out for drinks sometimes." Paul smiled. "Sure." They waved to each other, and Simon sat back on his chair.
"What was that about?" Chen asked. "Nothing, just trying to be the good guy." Chen rolled his eyes. "So how are we going to get all the workers to go inside the warehouse?" Chen asked.
"Rose." Simon continued to drive after what he said. "what!" Chen looked dumbfounded.
"Look fur, I need total concentration, so shut up." Simon looked true to the camera feed. He looked at all the buttons of the machinery. He crossed his fingers and a golden portal opened in the area. Chen's heart was beating so fast and loud Simon could hear it. "Relax dude, she's going to be okay." He said to Chen while putting on the air pod. Chen scooted closer to the camera, he saw Rose's pale white hands coming out of the portal.
"Simon, now press the red button." He communicated with her through the air pod. Rose pressed the red button. "Well done, now the doors." Chen looked at him. "Ella wants everything to work out perfectly." Chen scoffed.
Rose appeared by the door and fixed a small squared metallic box close to the handle. Two security men making rounds saw this, they watched as the portal disappeared from the left side of the handle to the right side of the heavy metal door. They saw a hand fixing something on the door.
"Newton, are you seeing what am seeing?" "uhuh." The guys were in a stupor.
Boom clang!! The two security men flinched before they ran into the warehouse. Other securities ran in all the workers gathered inside the warehouse.
Simon pressed the button on the device and the door closed. The metallic box on the right shoots out two metallic rods that connect to the tiny holes in the other metallic holes locking the doors.
"What is happening?" Paul asked. "Sir, someone turned off the machine, it clocked and there was a small explosion, and the doors were locked." One of the workers reported. "Did anyone get injured? "Luckily no one did." Simon smiled as he used the button to turn on the fans. The fans blew the air, and the ash spread out and got into the warehouse through the air con.
The shapeshifters amongst them. Smell it and begin to panic.
Soon they all started to change into their through forms. Paul was shocked and immediately took out his phone to call HOJ.
Courtois and Ellis went to all the families of Green Corp. workers and got videos on interesting facts, they took the videos to her. Courtois said his goodbyes and left.
Ellis sat beside Ella who was looking through the videos. "Grandpa has gotten to a safe house," Ellis informed her. "Is he okay?"
"Maybe if you pick his call…" "I can't." Ella cuts in. "Why is that?" Ellis asked. "Because I made our family's situation worse, people even dared to attack our war hero." Tears gathered in her eyes.
"What matters to our Grandpa is you Ella and not our family's reputation." Ellis stood up. "If he calls you, you should pick up, he's worried about you." Ellis left her alone and she fell into deep thought as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Trent, I got it! I got it!!" Kyle shouted excitedly through the phone. "Good boy, I am proud of you, now go through it, and see what's in it." Trent's voice came through the other line. "I will do that." Trent cut the call and Kyle went back to work.
Ella dialed her grandfather's number, he picked it up at the first ring. "Oh! My dear, you have finally picked up. I am so worried about you, Ellis told me you were attacked, are you ok?" Old man Patterson didn't even stop to breathe. Ella opened her mouth to speak instead she broke into tears. "Ella, don't cry, everything is going to be okay. "Iii aam sorry." Ella stammered and sniffed. "Everything is okay, you don't have to blame yourself." "But everything was my fault, I made everything worse, they even dared to attack you." Ella cried.
"Grandpa, I will make them pay, I promise." Ella ended the call and focused on her plan.
"Breaking news, you guys, she logged into the Gossip site, I heard that the bitch Ella Patterson is going to make a live video in twenty minutes." "The bitch that set Richard up and deceived our very own Trent."
Every log into the Gossip site to watch the stream.
"Hello everyone, I am Ella Patterson, I do not regret what I did to Richard, I set him up so what. I did it to avenge my dad."
Simon and Chen ran into the living. They found Ella seriously doing stuff in her system.
W
"Ella, someone is streaming as you on Gossip," Simon informed her.
Ella smiled, her smile sent a chilly aura into the air. Simon and Chen shivered and stepped back in shock.
"Perfect, very perfect. Simon set up the camera.
'This bitch is so evil.'
# Ella Patterson go to hell.
"If I get another chance, I will set him up all over again."
The Gossip site went off and, on several screens, Ella's face was on every screen, on laptops, phones, TVs, and Billboards.
Some people notice the different outfits but unlike the first life video where she was wearing makeup, this time her face was pale, her nose was red and her eyes were red and puffy.
"Hi I am Ella Patterson, I do not know who the first one is, but I will haunt you and I will put a bullet in between your eyes." Some people shivered and felt sorry for the imposter.
'What's going on?"
'Is she saying the one earlier is an imposter?'
'Well, they look different.' Simon stood aside and read the comments.
"Well, the imposter me said one thing right. I don't regret what I did to Richard, what I did was expose a liar and I have proof."
Chen received messages from Cyrus, they were videos and a message.
'I found out from Romulus, these are videos of workers admitted at the hospital.'
Chen smiled and went over to Simon who went over to the hacker sent by Romulus.
"I disguised myself and joined HOJ and I was given a mission to uncover the abnormalities going on in Richards's company. I am going to play the first evidence."
The video shifted to a woman sitting in her small living room with her son and daughter.
"Hi, my name is Simon, I work with the special intelligence network and I want to ask you some questions about your husband."
"Is he in trouble?" The woman looked worried.
"No, he's fine, I just want to ask some questions."
"OK." The woman still sounded worried
"Does he work with Green Corp?"
The people can only hear his beautiful voice but can't see his face.
"Yes, he is at work at the moment."
"How long has your husband been working at the Corp?"
"Three years."
'What's this about?"
'I don't understand it either.'
"You see, my husband lost his job when I was pregnant, he got a job at the Corp after our second child was born, he was invited to this haunt they do for their new and hard-working workers." The woman paused.
Simon noticed the change in her facial expression.
"What I am about to say may seem absurd but the man who is living with you now isn't your husband but an imposter."
The woman chuckled.
"That can be true." Simon could see that she was obviously lying.
"I knew it. I told you that he's not our father but you refused." The boy stood up from the Chair.
"Elder, take your sister to the room."
"But I am telling the truth, I saw him eating meat and drinking milk! Dad is lactose intolerant; he can't even drink a sip of milk and.." "I said go to your room!" the woman shouted, the boy angrily dragged his sister away."
The woman sat back on the chair in tears.
'What is going on, his father isn't his father."
'I am so confused.'
"When he returned that night, he was different and distant, even though he tried to act like his former self he still slips. " she sobbed and used a hanky to clean her tears.
"Please tell me more." Simons's voice was calm and patient
"Like my son said, my husband can't drink milk, his stomach doesn't approve, and he's vegan."
"When he drank milk the first time, I had to remind him of his allergy. But he reacted the wrong way."
"How?"
"He went to throw up, instead of excreting."
Simon nodded.
"Did you report this to anyone?"
"I reported to the company but they said I was crazy and not to disturb them. I sometimes catch him stealing meat in the fridge and when I ask him he accuses our son."
Ella played the other videos.
"I will now explain everything to you."
