Alt+Control Chapter 33

The two of them step inside, and the door slides shut. With a heart-stopping jolt, the elevators began to drop at an alarming speed. My stomach jumps and my eardrums pop as the elevator accelerates.

I’m about to press the emergency halt button because I think that the elevator’s broken when the elevator comes to a sudden stop. The door slides open again with a quiet ding to steel plated and barren hallway.

I stick out my cane again and step out of the hallway. There’s no one else in the hallway, and our footsteps echo along the metal. We turn the corner, and see a worker in a white uniform walking down the hall before us.

“Hey, you!” somebody barks, and I nearly jump out of my skin before I realize that it’s Marc. The worker turns around, and at the immediate sight of us, the worker stiffens.

Alt+Control Chapter 32

At 17:30, I’m standing in front of what is 16 Grange Street. I was expecting a very discreet looking building, as it houses such a secret facility, but boy was I wrong. I don’t think there could’ve been a more conspicuous building.

The famous architect Darius Comber, according to the plaque, supposedly designed it out front, who is famous for showy buildings. 16 Grange Street was no exception.

The wall facing out onto Grange Street was entirely glass, and the inside was composed of several spiraling staircases, different floors and levels at strange angles, and brightly patterned walls and ceilings. The colours ranging from chartreuse to mahogany to indigo, and patterns from plaid to checkers to stripes all clashed against one another.

The outside of the building was composed of several irregular geometric solids, all built haphazardly on top of each other, jutting out to all sides. Each shape was made of a different material, such as what looks like plated steel to antique bricks.

It truly looks like someone just decided to build the biggest eyesore on the block.

updates on K's Novel

you may have noticed that I've been M.I.A for awhile (at least when it comes to my normal rate) so I apologize. I've been writing here and there, but nothing's been coming out that well.
so I'll give you, my precious readers, some plot updates to try to make up for my absence.

firstly, the main characters are finally going to break into the facility. I know, you're probably saying, "About time!" and I apologize. my style of writing is like Victorian serials, where I just write one section at a time without thinking about the next part.
so most likely, they'll use the "go in disguise and sneak in" technique, while probably still having to knock out some people to use them.... sounds typical of me, eh?
and I'll have an interesting and complex plot twist happening within the next few chapters, so stay tuned for that ;)
so that's it for now! please check in and read N's chapters while you wait.

Chapter 19 (N)

“Your phone is ringing,” pointed out Kim. I took it out of my pocket. My eyes hurt from the brightness. Who would be calling me? Probably Kai.
“Yang is calling,” said the phone screen.
Yang? Why the heck is he calling?! Should I ignore it? But what if it’s something important? Darn it, there I go again. I sighed.
“What do you want?” I said a little harsher than intended.
“Oh hello, I’m fine too.”
“What do you want?” I repeated in the same tone.
“Why are you mad at me?” A lot of things raced through my mind.
“What do you want?”

Alt+Control Chapter 31

Did I hear that right? I shake my head in confusion. “Pretend I’m blind? What is that going to do?”

“It allows you to observe without suspicion. No one is going to be worried about a blind person since they can’t see their surroundings or anything possibly suspicious.”

“What the heck would a blind person be doing there?”

“You can be some sort of wealthy…sponsor. Wanting to talk to some of the workers, and find out where your money is going.”

“Then what about you two? How are you going to get through?” I ask. I can understand my costume, but I’m not going to get in alone.

“We’ll be government officials, sent in by Mr. Bronson,” says Marc nonchalantly.

Alt+Control Chapter 30

“Kaya? Kaya!” shouts a voice, and I snap into attention. I see Mr. Cassano’s face in front of mine. Oh right. I’m at school, in math class. Wonderful.

“Are you alright?” asks Mr. Cassano. “You’ve been out of it the entire class!”

“I’m ok. Just…tired.” It’s true. I couldn’t sleep well last night. I kept on having nightmares about what could go wrong during our break-in.

“Very well then. Levi, what is the next step?”

I try to focus on the lesson, but my mind keeps wandering. I mean, when will we ever use linear and quadratic equations? Everything right now just seems so… so pointless compared to what I’m facing right now.

After learning the truth, I realize what it means to carry that burden around. I can’t allow anyone else to know, in case they get involved and hurt. I can’t unburden my worries to Marc or Gerad, in case they think I’m incapable. And the worse thing is that I can’t ignore it, because I’m the only the one who knows, and the only one who can stop it.
