Chapter 10 - chapter 10: indigo child

" yes I do. I have a sister."

" and what's her name?"

"Kyra, her name is kyra." Robert gasped immediately at the thought of what Whitaker had said, ' is it the same kyra? Robert questioned himself, not sure of what to say after. He tried his best to compose himself ready to utter the thing that he was going to say, not wanting whilteker to start questioning him. " what is her surname?" he asked. " is there any specific reason why you are asking this such questions?" whilteker wondered. " nothing specific, whilteker, please could you tell me your surname?" Robert requesting immediate answer said. " its arkimon, are satisfied now."

"I am sorry if I sounded demanding." He apologized. "No, it's OK. And I have been wanting to ask. Could you please look her up for me." Whilteker begged. Roberts' heart started pounding hard. As he shifted his collar button open, gently trying to breathe properly, yet, found it hard to breathe, as he responded, "Will surely do,. I need to go now. I will be back as soon as I am done."

" I'll be waiting."

Three years ago, the military found out that some children were behaving strangely and possessing forces that were not human. The military succeeded in doing what they did best (confining their whereabouts from the public). They possessed powers similar to those of aliens. The first child to be found emitted forces similar to that of a pyrokenetic, and burned a store accidentally. She possessed other characteristics that were unexplainable to man. Three other children were also found with rather powers of a full alien. They were partially transformed into aliens and the transformation was increasing bit by bit. They were confiscated and researched on by the military. After a year of scrutinizing and experimenting passed, the military failed to analyze the main source of their obscure power. Thereupon, one of the children went berserk, fumed with anger and broke out of the military facility. Not to be found till date and the information was kept secrete as well, known only by the powered people ( people with high rankings like Colonel Robert). The military plan to tame the indigo children and use them as a weapon against Aeron succeeded a year and half after the first child had flown.

Robert disconnected the synchronization. Stroked his chin that was well shaved. Applying pressure which made it hurt drew his attention to it. 'ouch' he reacted. Still caught in the profound tought of what whilteker had asked him, not knowing what to tell her. 'Bzzz bzzz' his transmitter rang, making him drift away from his profound tought. He tapped the green light on the screen receiving the transmission. " hey colonel robzy" a familiar youth young voice called. " long time no see mi friend. Am at a café right now. Want to meet up to have some tea?" the voice asked. Robert, not fully aware of what was happening, was brought back to reality by the voice that was coming from the transmitter. "Hey… how are you doing?".

" wait… didn't you hear what I have been saying?"

"No I didn't. Please can you repeat what you said"

" I said am at a café few blocks away from the core, wanna have some coffee?"

" I sure do. Send me your location. Let me look you up."

" ok bro. Robert's transmitter beeped, receiving the transmission. He walked towards the door. Picked his jacket up, flinging it over his shoulder, he threw his arm into the jacket's sleeve, raising his wrist up and looking at the device that was embedded in his wrist to check what the time was.'0930-hours'. He stood in the front of the door, which automatically opened. Placing his left foot out , he started walking towards the gate of the defense core, bowing his head trying to avert his attention from the insubordination of his comrades who were in the courtyard. " colonel Robert sir. You have been called on by the Lieutenant General Sir." Robert heard a very familiar female teen voice from behind. He turned around to see the young newly admitted cadet who was 5-4 feet tall with long blonde hair and crystal clear ocean blue eyes. "OK.. but I will be heading out now." Robert replied with an unreadable face. " at your leisure time sir."
