Six o'clock in the morning of the next day,the attack on the queen Elizabeth's bridge was all over the news. Many security agencies both in and out of the UK were also present. CIA, IMF's, interpol and even MI6 were all busy.
The security was hiked up as both the royal family and all the noble houses brought in more manpower. Many mercenary groups were hired to protect some big fishes all over the UK.
But a very few individuals knew what went down last night. And all of them tried their best to keep away from the coming storm. So all these shenanigans was just to calm the masses.
In the special stateroom on the hundredth floor in Burj khalifa in Dubai. One of the most exquisite skyscrapers in the world of luxury,a special meeting is held. The room is adorned with pure gold finishes,the silhouette of the room boast of elegance and prestige.
The chairs are made of the finest exotic wood and most comfortable fabric from all over the world. The chandeliers have puresilver gold finishes giving the room a glow of splendor.
On the main seat is an Englishman middle aged man wearing an expensive white tuxedo. With him two Caucasian middle aged men in black and blue tuxedos respectively.The temperature in the room is sombre as all the men have gloomy faces.
"Collins Howard,do you realize what your so called son did?" The man in black tuxedo repremanded the man in white.
"We all know it was all for the sake of your nephew Jordan Park. So it's not his fault." The man in white tuxedo (Collins Howard) argued back.
"It's seems like you two gentlemen just don't know what you got yourselves into,huh!"the man in blue tuxedo smiled.
"What are you talking about Cole Beetle,he is just a damn scientist or what he just created some gadgets for making money." Jordan Park rudely replied.
"Huuuh! It's always a great pain dealing with rich scions and nobles. Now listen, that so called "nobody" is the lone survivor from the jaws of hell(wende correctional facility alias hell),he has been diagnosed with severe brain tumor at the age of ten but still survived. He was also born with a very powerful body as his body can withstand alot of damage without harming him." Cole Beetle slowly narrated.
"That is in normal human perspective,there is another perspective that history erased. The supernatural beings perspective." Cole Beetle seriously delved deeper.
"It is said history is written in favor of the victorious and shame the looser. A very commonly used idom with a few understanding it.The inquisition has been the victorious side for a very long time. So history of supernatural beings became a myth and fairy tales.
Not everything you know is correct or anything you see happened, many things happen with a cause. I know you don't know this but have you ever asked your elders why did you have to marry a certain person?.
Why does your children have their spouses determined right after they're born,or why does your families have a lot of resources with abundant history?." Cole Beetle bombarded them with so much riddles and doubtful words. This left the two confused, intrigued and doubtful.
"It's simple,go home right now and ask for your answers because from here on out. HISTORY is no longer black and white. There is a shade of grey." Cole Beetle handed them both two USB drives.
"Well gentlemen, I will be on my way now since time waits for no man. Before I go let me warn you of something.'The most dangerous animal on the planet is a man with too much hate and less entanglement'. Think about it. " Cole Beetle delivered his last riddle and left the room.
Looking at the video clip in the laptop Collins Howard immediately called his brother Conrad Howard but he didn't respond.
Collins Howard panics and dials a certain combination in his phone. Then he leaves a few words to Jordan Park. "Meet me the day after tomorrow in England with your family members I think I might know what is going on." Before running out of the room.
' I have a nasty feeling about this whole thing ' Jordan Park mumbled to himself. Somehow he feels like a very big secret will be unveiled soon which may affect his whole life.

Five in the evening in the UK a military conference is held in the Birmingham palace. All the nobles and high status military and intelligence personnels were all present.
A representative of the royal family was also present as the king wasn't in good health condition. The prevailing question still been how did such attack happen in the capital without warning. As always someone must be responsible for the mess.
The final verdict was passed, demoting Conrad Howard by a single star on his shoulder, from a three-star general to two-star general. Of which Conrad didn't even flinch while leaving the palace.
Then his phone rings as he entered the military sedan, Collins Howard's name pops up on his screen. He answers with a flat voice"yes what is it Mr Howard?"
"Conrad can we please meet, it's very urgent?"Collins' desperate voice ask from the other side."what, let me guess now you have realized the kind of mess your in huh!" Conrad mocked him without mercy.
"Please can we meet today, it concerns our whole family. You choose the location okay Conrad, I won't argue with you again." Collins calmly replied to the mockery of Conrad.
"Well I'm having a bad day what can make it worst,come to the oracle penthouse tonight at eight thirty and don't be late. And before I forget, make sure to bring your whole family including that dimwit Brighton." Conrad instructed before hanging up the phone.

Conrad stood by the window looking at Orton who was welcoming the family punctually. He maintained a warm smile as he looked at his supposed to be family, everyone dressed well except the dress code on Brighton Howard. He remained expressionless looking at Brendah Park's flashy dress code.
Soon it was eight thirty in the evening so he went down to meet his guests. Only to find Brendah Park causing a great scene.

"Who are you to lecture me right now huh! You are in my house woman be careful."Conrad Howard refuted back.
"Who are you to talk to me this way, I am not someone you can just talk to have manners." Brendah Park refuted again.
"Be quiet Brendah, Conrad what is this all about?" Victoria Howard calmed the tense situation.
