closed his eyes trembling in pain as his stomach hurt with each labored breath..
    Without warning, Gary plunged down onto the front hood of the car Destiny had been thrown into. The men screamed briefly taking a few steps away from the Beast.
    “Well - well,” Corporal said un -phased by the appearance of Gary. “We were going to look for you shortly.” The beast roared loudly and jumped at a small group of armed men beside him. He picked one man up and threw it high into the air. The man fell onto the pavement with a thud of broken bones and lay motionless. One of the remaining two men was then grabbed by Gary and slowly bent nearly in half. The man screamed with a high shriek only to fall silent a moment later after a sudden snap of his spine. The third man shot his gun at Gary, emptying his thirty round clip in seconds. The bullets bounced off Gary’s head and fell to the ground. Corporal’s face flashed the widest grin he could make before jumping around like a madman and screaming at the Beast. “Come here lovely! Over here lovely!” He shouted over and over again at Gary, taunting him to attack.
    “Be ready men!” he yelled just before Gary jumped toward him. The Corporal dodged out of the way by jumping to the side.
    Gary rolled for a moment before hitting the wall of the jewelry store beside David. Gary quickly stood up, shook off the impact of his tumble, and leaned protectively over top of David. The beast slightly moaned in a sad groan, reaching down to him.
    “Now!” Corporal yelled pointing at Gary. A loud metallic clunk erupted causing Gary to jump. A large mesh ball bolted out of a large cannon being held by one of the armored men. It flung into the air above Gary and burst open. From it popped out a large fishnet made of chains with small black boxes dotting the circumference of the circular chain net. It enveloped Gary and glowed bright blue as electrical currents shot out of the black boxes and coursed over the net shocking him. He shrieked in pain, which David also felt through his power. After a few seconds Gary fell to the ground unconscious. “Take him to the stadium, put him with the others.” Corporal said before letting out a loud breath of exhaustion. Everything began to get dark for David. The last thing he saw before passing out was Gary being dragged away and Corporal returning to his seat on the car.

                  A few minutes later, after all the noise had died down outside the jewelry store, Holiday peeked his head outside the front door.
    “See anything?” Sam whispered from inside while closing the door leading upstairs.
    “No,” Holiday replied. “It looks clear.” Sam quickly crept toward the door as Holiday walked crouched down outside.
    “We did hear a gunshot.” Sam said following him. When she reached outside , Holiday was on his knees in front of a pool of dried blood.
    “Shit !” Sam said.
    “Someone was shot; they laid here for a while.” Holiday said sniffling.
    “Who was it David? Or Destiny?” Sam asked kneeling beside him.
    “No way to tell Doc.” He replied standing up. “Looks like I am going to Haven.” He continued.
    “What?” Sam said shocked. “Are you crazy?”
    “Probably.” He replied shrugging. “Either David got shot or it was Destiny. Hell maybe both. Either way I have to make sure they aren’t dead.”
    “And if they are?” Sam said. Holiday turned to her with a scowl on his face.
    “Then we deal with it then.” He responded loudly. “You know the layout of Haven. How can I get in without them knowing?” He pointed at her while she shook her head quickly in disagreement.
    “You can’t.” She said frustrated. “Don’t do this.”
    “I have to Sam.” He said sadly. “I have been watching over that kid since he was born.” His eyes began to tear up but he cleared his throat and ignored it. “I shouldn’t have just hid before. I won’t hide now.” He began walking
