Rifts: Why Choosen Ones are my enemy?
Chapter 29 - 2 weeks later.
Two weeks have passed since that Gritty high school incident.
Many things have changed. Special on ground level, and the most noticeable thing is fear in public and crime rate.
56-year-old police officer Zical, received a report 15 minutes ago, A bank robbery happening in his duty area.
Now, reaching the outside crime spot, his team sealed the area and tried to connect inside to know the situation.
Soon, the call was connected. The Negotiator starts doing his job, stealing time, making sure criminals stay calm and don’t hurt hostages while trying to get more information, until specialized tactical units can arrive.
"How is the situation?" From behind a familiar voice asked Zical.
Officer Zica turned toward the voice. It was Agent Milier, the same FBI agent he met in the school two days ago.
He wasn’t expecting to meet him again so soon and he wasn’t alone, there are three kids and a guy around 25-years-old is with him.
Why did this guy bring them into a restricted area? Zical thought, yet didn’t waste time dwelling on it.
"Four criminals and four of them were ability users, they take a more then 20 hostages.’’ Ignoring kids with Agent Millier Zical informed him.
"Leave it to us." Agent Millier said, confidently
"Us? you mean FBI, Right?’’ Zical doesn’t know why he thinks he’s talking about kids when he said that. It must be my imagination.
"No." Agent Miller said.
Agent Miller’s words made him realize he wasn’t mistaken.
"I mean let them handle it." He added pointing at those fours.
Fucker you lost your mind!. Zical wanted to shout that on his face.
"You joki..." Zical stopped what he was about to say. No, he wasn’t joking when he said that.
He really wants to involve those kids. Damn, this idiot playing with others lives.
"Sorry, sir. But, I don’t have permission to enter or let anyone enter the bank, there are many lives on the spot, I can’t do anything. So, whatever you want, ask my Senior." Zical said.
Agent Miller smiled. "sure, I can understand." He took out his phone and called someone.
While, four guys standing behind him watched everything.
The group with Miller was a Varun, Alex, Mubai, and orange head guy– Orma, Orma just awakened an ability two days ago. He can shoot laser beams from his hands.
The agent Miller approached him yesterday and offered him to join a superhero team.
He asked who the teammates were? and Agent Miller informed. Then he questioned; Why would he join some kid team.
Instead of answering, Agent Millier gave him half a million bank balance, then told more benefits he gets after joining the team.
He was unemployed and the opportunity came at his door. Why would he miss it?
He would get fame, publicity and can openly use his ability without any hesitation or fear. He would stupid if he still refused to join.
Same with Varun and Mubai. Though Varun later finds out that his two classmates are also in the team.
This man in black suit approached him around thirteen days ago. A day after someone tried to kill him. He would be dead by now if not for his ability.
From that day he had nightmares. When this man approached him he was suspicious at first.
But in the end this guy convinced him to join the team . He also promised to search for who attacked him, and he is paying half a million every month that much money Varun never saw in his life– and to make him believe he paid in advance. But, he also made him sign a contract that he can’t quit the team for at least 10 years.
However he will be paid a bonus, how they performed as heroes, and if he saved anyone, no one taking his credit, everything would be on the news front of the public, he would be a celebrity in no time.
That day, he happily laughed thinking that his old classmates would be jealous to the core, envying him, but his happiness disappeared. The next day, when he saw those two guys in the team.
He cursed his luck, he wanted to quit immediately, but remembering the contract he cursed more in his heart and who would want to return so much money.
On the other hand, Mubai simply joined because his parents asked him. He rejected his offer first, however this guy somehow convinced his parents.
While for Alex joining this team was a wish come true. He deliberately showed his abilities in front of some CCTV’s hoping that some guys with influence would approach him and it worked . Agent Miller approached him.
Alex knows this guy from his past life, also that Varun and Mubai would join this team, he also knows the future members. Joining this team was his best choice. Every member in the team is going to be the biggest celebrity in the future.
Varun would be most popular when he became handsome, he didn’t know how he did it. If he got some type of outer opportunity he would make sure to steal it.
"Yes, yes, Sir." Office Zical said, and when the call was cut he returned, phone back to Agent Millier and added. "Sir, You’re free to go in, but also fully responsible for hostages and those kids’ lives."
"I know officer Zical."

Inside the bank, four men were hiding their faces completely with masks .
They carry small pistols with them just for show their real confidence to commit robbery comes from their abilities.
All staff and civilians were carned at one spot
hostages are scared to their core, no one moved, their screams already died down, now even their breathing is controlled, so these criminals won’t notice them.
There is already one lifeless body lying on the flower. The man with the codename Owl killed him just now, not with a gun. With his harp claws he had ripped his throat apart.
"If anyone makes noise again, I will kill him, just like this one, so please stay quiet." The owl said softly with a smile. "Underwood" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Everyone nodded, his twisted way of speaking softly, while threatening this scared them more.
The owl has the power to transform his body parts into bird body parts, turning his hands into wings he can fly, and turning into claws he can kill.
"Boss, they’re here sooner than expected. What should we do." A man with the code name Fish asked, he had the power to transform his whole body into armed hard fish scales. He is also the big brother of Owl.
Hammer is the boss he called...
