Chapter 2

SEVERAL MONTHS LATER

Alan Gance looked over the financials for the company, hmmm things were looking good with this acquisition, the company might move into the top 10 in the world money wise. Bob the office manager came by a moment later, “Alan you need to get this notarized NOW! Then we’ll be set for the meeting in 20 minutes you need to hurry!” Alan nodded and hurried out, this was an important deal and would set Alan for a long time good thing no one else knew about it. Coming back 10 minutes later everything on his desk was gone! Pissed as hell he started to reach for the phone when he had a vision of Bob taking everything and laughing saying that the little piss ant Alan didn’t have the balls to call him out on whose work it was. This would make Bob a partner and he’d be set for life.

Walking into the meeting Alan was seething, as Bob walked by he stopped beside Alan and thanked him then laughed when Alan told him to enjoy it, cause it wouldn’t last. “What do you think you’re going to do? I know exactly what everything on here is, it’s mine and you can’t stop me! You little maggot! I’ll step on you if you open your mouth!” Alan sat down his anger almost palatable looking at Bob take all the hard work he’d done over the last year. All in the possession of the man Alan had thought a friend. Alan sat at the far end of the table his face blood red the anger building higher and higher.

Bob stepped to the podium and opened his mouth the speak, Alan was thinking don’t do it it’s not yours! Alan heard the man laughing in his mind, (The little shit all he’d have to have said was it was his to the CEO and the man would have taken his word for it, he was on thin ice with the man.) “I wish to present my...” Alan was screaming NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in his mind directly at Bob, who gagged looked straight at Alan then fell to the carpet, blood flowing from his eyes, ears and mouth pooling in a quickly expanding puddle. Several of the women were screaming as were a few of the men. Alan was just sitting there no emotion nothing as he had felt Bob’s heart explode.

The CEO looked around the room and spotted Alan sitting there his eyes dull and lifeless. Hmmm interesting the man thought I might have to investigate the man more haven’t seen anything like this in a long time he thought. Alan wasn’t exactly sure what had happened. He hadn’t wanted the man dead he just wanted the man to stop, and not to steal what was his. Alan sat there through all the chaos that ensued as the brightly colored EMT’s came and took the body out, Almost as if on auto pilot Alan left the room when they were all told that they could leave now.

Alan looked at the clock it said 3:30 he almost stopped at his desk but kept going to the elevator. Getting in he rode all the way to the bottom floor exiting he was moving across the room when a blonde man with chiseled features moved past him to the elevator. Alan stopped as if he’d been shocked, he’d felt that once before though he couldn’t seem to remember when. Considering most of his memories weren’t that good, he’d lost the good people raising him at a young age. In and out of foster homes, beat unmercifully in the orphanages no one believing him, the orphanages were good places, the nice people didn’t beat the children.

Finally beat so bad that he was almost catatonic, the last three places he’d been were investigated, and all the staff at all three places were arrested the last he’d heard most of them had been killed in prison the inmates really pissed about them abusing the children in their charge. Finally Alan was placed in a decent home though they didn’t have that much, but they gave Alan the one thing that he’d dreamed of his short life love and a haven to come home to.

Being extremely brilliant it was soon found that Alan had a way with numbers. Years later he was accepted to a prestigious University but by then the damage had been done. Quiet and withdrawn Alan was often picked on ‘til he learned to almost move without making a sound, he graduated at the very top of his class with marks higher than any other. Accepted to a high paying position in an accounting firm Alan thought finally they would leave him alone. Sighing in frustration he walked out to the bus to go home such as it was. He was climbing on the bus when Harman came out of the building searching the faces as fast as he could. That’s when he felt the tingling, it wasn’t as bad as when the doctor was near, but it was there, it had to be. Harman’s eyes darted to that direction seeing the bus as it was leaving, narrowing his eyes he studied every face on the bus.

Pulling a phone from his pocket, he pressed the speed dial, “Harman, I got a look, it was him it had to be, the energy signature is the same as ours, and the doctor’s problem is it is far stronger than I was led to believe. From what I felt he made the man’s heart explode without touching him.”
