Chapter Twenty: Drive To Work
I now know what I have to do...
The first thing was to stop the coming calamity before it happens. I only have a week for that. The second is to find whoever killed Hades and repay them the coin. I can do both simultaneous, for now I have to gather as much information I have about this world.
I have to go to work!
BEEP! BEEP!
"Common boss let's go!" Hecate called out to me from the driver's seat.
I stepped out of the house for the first time to be greeted by the enormously blanket of stars and black at the roof of the world. It was breathtaking as it was spectacular, was it always night in the underworld?
I looked down my mansion to the gate where Hecate sat in a black sports car with silver rims that looked brand new. It was part of my thousands of other exotic cars, there was a hummer and limo too. Wow! Hades does love his cars, a red Lamborghini caught my eye too.
To think he had this much and from the looks of it I doubted he touched it. I just could not take my eyes off it for a minute.
I crossed over to my garage of cats and felt the car, it was smooth and clean. I could see my beautiful reflection on it. It made my heart jump, the only luxury car I had in my old life was a small four wheeler. It was so boring I never remembered it's name. In this life I can have the luxury I always missed.
I could feel Hecate's presence as she approached me from behind. "You like that one? I know how much you loved to drive fast cars so I kept bringing the fastest I could."
I could see my smile reflecting off the car's body, I looked cute when I wasn't always brooding all the time.
I moved over to the side and opened the door, the key was there in the ignition waiting for me to start it. "Get in! I'm driving!" I ordered Hecate.
VRRRROOOM!!
"Talk about being a beast!!" I smiled as I reversed with the car roaring loudly. A small screen next to the wheel came on with the GPS showing the routes that led to my work place- THE UNDERWORLD CORP.
I drove down the beautiful roads down the huge hill where my mansion was situated, I passed by different modern houses and buildings, it really was like an estate. The beautiful multicoloured streetlights and signboards came in red, blue, green, purple.
"Woooooohoooooo!!"
BA-DUM!!
My car ran over something or somebody. "Shit!"
Hecate smiled. "These undeads really just do whatever, huh?"
"So that things gonna be alright?" I asked a little bit agitated.
I found Hecate looking over at me, her light blue eyes glowed brightly indicating she was manipulating her eyes with some weird energy, her hair bounced up and down. She looked hot as she smiled at me.
"Boss, you look cute like this. When you are not brooding, whatever happened to you I love it and I rarely love anything." She said in a sweet tone. "That is... Even if you really are someone else in there."
My eyes twitched lightly, "What?" Did she just figure if out? Can she see through me? How? I know I did slip up a few times but, she is Hades' best friend so she would easily know right? But what she does now will determine my next cause? Should I KILL HER?
What am I thinking, I have to calm myself and react appropriately.
Just as I opened up my mouth to speak— "Stop! We're here Boss!"
"WHAT!?" I screamed as I slammed hard on the break, the car screeched to a halt sharply but not before running into someone, green sludge splashed all over my windshield. "Not again."
"Heh!" Hecate laughed as she came out of the car. "I'll get someone to clean that up. Besides Hades doesn't show compassion the way you do, I suggest you change that boss!"
Seriously what is going on through her head? Is she a genius detective like Batman or something? Now she has be at the edge of my seat.
I came out of the car and looked forward to see the legs of someone on the ground dripping green blood. I really killed someone huh? I saw Hecate walking towards the huge building and hissed under my breath. "Ugly bitch."
I looked up to see a huge skyscraper that seemed to go on forever, the windows reflected the stars in the sky. "Why do I get the feeling I'm working in a firm?" My eye started to buzz and I hissed. "What now?"
YOU HAVE UNLOCKED AN ORIGINAL SKILL.
SIXTH SENSE (LOW)- ALLOWS YOU TO SENSE THE THINGS IN THE SURROUNDING AND GIVES HEIGHTENED SENSES.
CAN BE IMPROVED WITH DOMINATION POINTS (1000)
"Now this is rigged, I only have five hundred of these things." My ears started to pick every sound and footstep around me, it wasn't just my ears— it was my whole body acting as an extension of myself with the environment. "Am I recovering the original abilities of Hades?"
I felt something vibrate in by pocket and plucked out the black book, I flipped it open to find the words reading:
YOU ARE AWAKENING MY POWERS, I CAN SENSE IT
THE COMPATIBILITY IS QUITE LOW SO IT WILL RECOVER OVER TIME
"Hades, how did you die?"
...?
I...
I CANNOT REMEMBER!!
