Chapter 160: Black Reunion [2]

Big Guy looks back and forth between the two, seeing they were clouded with thoughts in their head, he sighed knowing he shouldn’t bring up their son, for now. He wasn’t quite sure that conservation would end well, so a start-up was a bad idea.

"The Jones family is a mystery" he began gaining their attention.

"I worked for this mafia boss years ago, within I heard the Jones family have a head of the family known as the Director" he states.

"Barbra isn’t known as the director, but she’s the head isn’t she?" Riley said curiously. That has to be the explanation.

"I don’t know much but I have a reason to believe Barbra isn’t the first child," he said sternly.

"That’s unsettling," Liam said, sighing, another nutjob to deal with, great. He wondered what gender this sibling was.

"I think the Director wants Genesis" Riley spoke up. "I wonder why," she adds in intuition.

"I wonder why too, look the kid came here because he was looking for both of you claiming you both were his parents," Big Guy said.

They froze at his words.

What did he just say?

***

Genesis was seated at a corner under a shade, his gaze to the ground.

Liam and Riley came into view.

"Do you think he’s different?" She said,

"I don’t know but Kayla made mention of it, that he was more human," Liam said, finding it hard to use the word on him, their past experience with this kid was not a good one and most certainly not worth calling humane, but what are the odds right?

She faced him with worried eyes.

"I thought he had no idea we were his parents," she said, a wave of confusion and worry flushed her features. She had this dread feeling deep within her chest, she couldn’t explain, the fact he told Big guy that they were his parents? Was shocking.

"Liam, what should we do? What if this is some kind of trap to lure us or..."

"Hey hey," he cut her off, smooching her as he rubbed her arms on both sides.

She sighed in relief leaning in his touch, he always has a way of taking away her anxiety with just a touch.

"I will handle it okay? I will talk to him if he’s onto something I will know" he said softly.

She nods, he gently strokes her cheek with his thumb before walking towards Genesis, she watches unease.

Genesis was seated in silence he heard approaching footsteps as he turned, he froze seeing Liam as he instantly looked away.

"Well that’s odd, the moment you see us you wanna kill us the first chance you get," he said.

Genesis gulps hard at his words, he was definitely right about that.

Liam gave him a skeptical look seeing his silence, he then took a seat next to him but kept a good distance in alert, his elbows rested on his knees as he leaned down.

Genesis stole a glance at Liam, his dad was dashing as always, on black clothing, a black jacket, black inner shirt, black jeans, and black shoes, the luxury of it evident. He couldn’t help the undying resemblance he noticed he had with his dad, Steve was right, they really do look alike.

"Tell me Genesis" he began in a voice that held power and authority, his gaze still forward not sparing Genesis a glance.

"Why are you looking for us?!" he demands firmly.

"Because you are my parents," he said, not taking his eyes off his dad for a second, seeing the need not to, looking at him he had this warmth flush his chest.

Liam huffed at his words.

"So now you wanna be my son?" He states facing Genesis with angry eyes.

"After what you did to Rose? Do you have any idea who she was, you just went ahead and clawed her throat out!" he yelled in a low tone.

"I-I knew who she was," Genesis replied in a shaky voice.

"Fuck this!" Liam hissed, getting up abruptly as he turned about to walk away.

"I don’t have much time!" Genesis yelled, as his breath trembled.

Making Liam halt his step.

"Whatever they did to me has an expiration date, I...I...I can’t live past 13" he said in a shaky voice.

Liam’s eyes shake at his words.

Behind a building close by, Heather listened, her throat wrapped with a white bandage. Tears slid down her cheeks, she heard everything.

Liam slowly turned to Genesis, he stood before him, tears sliding down his cheeks nonstop.

"What do you mean that you won’t live past 13?!" Riley demands she was now beside Liam with a shocked expression.

Genesis sobs, facing his mom.

"I’m so sorry" he began in tears, his voice cracking with each word he spoke.

"I’m sorry for what I did, I know you won’t forgive... But please... Please I don’t wanna die not knowing what having parents feels like" he cried.

"I’m so sorry for everything I did, I didn’t mean... Mean to, please please forgive me, I don’t wanna-"

Before he knew it Riley pulled him in a tight hug, wrapping her arms around his head, his face buried in her stomach, his tears soaking her sweater but she didn’t care.

Liam walks towards them, placing a hand on Genesis’s shoulder, and wrapping his arm around him.

They stayed there in silence in each other’s embrace as Genesis cried his heart out, murmuring the word ’I’m sorry’ like a chant as well as a prayer.

Heather watched where she was with sad eyes, Dale came behind, holding his wounded bandage hand with the other.

"Wow... So he was right, Liam O’Brien and Riley Leah are really his parents" he states in a bored tone.

Heather sighs, wiping the tears off her cheeks before walking away in silence.

It was mid-day, as Race growled one more time.

"Why does it have to be us? Why doesn’t the boss just do the interrogation himself?.... I mean come on he’s more intimidating" he said growling once more.

"Boss and Riley can’t do that right now, remember? They are with Genesis right now" she reasons.

"Right," Race said, groaning once more.

They got to the barn house where Six was tied inside, her back leaning against the wall weakly as she groaned, she felt drunk and weak.

Her eyes landed on the two approaching ghouls, she forced a smirk in spite of her condition.

"Finally a visitor... I was beginning to feel bored with these animals lying around" she said in amusement.

Race just rolled his eyes at her sarcasm.

"Well, we aren’t here for chitchat... We are here for answers" Kayla began, her tone laced with seriousness, hoping to sound daring as she could.

"Well I’m all ears, talking to you guys is far better than the black ghoul" she smirks.

"We have to be careful, this bitch is crazy" Race whispers to Kayla.

"I heard that," she said in a sing-tone voice.

"The Director, why does he want Genesis, he’s of no use to the agency, he’s no longer a puppet you guys can use" Kayla began sternly.

"Believe me I’m curious myself, I just follow orders," Six said with a shrug of her shoulders. Not a worry in the world, like it, didn’t matter to her, as long as she obeyed orders and got the work done.

"Told you she’s crazy...now how is that an answer?" Race said sarcastically.

Six growled at him, making Race jump slightly.

"What are you?" Kayla asked with a nudge of her head, referring to her purple ghoul eyes.

Six smirks broaden more at her question, seeming interested in her curiosity, almost like she couldn’t wait to tell him.

"Well I’m a better version," she said in amusement.

"A born ghoul? Or a genetically made one" she asked.

"Oh sweetie I’m both... I’m both a ghoul and a made one... even better" she states, pursing up her lips, in pride.

Kayla and Race gulped hard at her words.

"How many of you did they send here, it can’t be just you?" Race demands, seeming serious now, he felt her spike of confidence it was odd for someone captured, she didn’t feel cornered or anything, like she knew the odds weren’t against her.

"Well isn’t it obvious?" She shrugged her shoulders, expecting them to get a better picture.

They blinked, puzzled by her words, gazing at each other and then back at her.

"I’m Six" she states smirking loving the confused look they had on.

"Yeah we get the creepy name but what doe-", he froze as his eyes widened in realization.

"Shit I have to tell boss," Kayla said bringing out her phone to dial his number, but no fucking service.

"Fuck" she cursed.

"One. Two. Three. Four. Five" she states as they face her face with shaky eyes.

"Are already on their way" she broke in a chuckle that sent their spine in shivers.
