I was on board the subway heading home when I noticed Angelica was tailing someone. He was a tall Samoan sporting a mullet with bulging muscles. He kept sniffing the air. She was practically hopping on the balls of her feet. The man was so huge that the door mirror finish that leads to the other cart didn't show her. I casually whispered, "Angelica please stop following the mullet Samoan." The man froze and turned to face me. He saw her and he gave me a wink before he stepped out on the next stop. She came out too. But the crowd was so dense she was at a disadvantage. The man was able to ditch her and vanish. I got out too and made it to Alice's place. It was a high end apartment building and she lived in the penthouse suite. I waited on the balcony while the butler fetched my friend. The view was incredible. I used telescopic vision to see Angelica was walking in circles trying to figure out where he disappeared to. A few minutes later he emerged from the subway with a large sandwich and a few bottles of water. Alice came with her dog name Spots. He barked happily before he came over. He sniffed me several times and sat down in complete obedience. The security stared curiously since Spots have never done this before. Alice complimented his intelligence as she sat down to search menus from different restaurants. She finally chose Thai food and we sat down to watch a movie. Alice's mom arrived so I excused myself to go home.
I was on the train heading home when it came to a halt. The train switched off the lights and everyone turned on the flashlights on their cell. I pulled up the medical mask I was wearing and pulled up the hoodie. While people were discussing everything I walked to the back and opened the emergency door. Then I quietly climbed down and walked towards the station. My eyes adjusted to the dark. As I kept walking I saw red dots lining the ceiling every few paces. Telescopic vision showed they were hidden cameras. Someone wants to expose something. The question is what. I kept walking till I reached a cavern. That is when I heard people talking. There was a small group of people surrounding a tall lean man with a ponytail. The man next to him was a tall bald man of African descent. They asked him if the formula was prepared or not. They were anxious and they were wondering if they could start exposing themselves to humans. The answer was no to all the above. He explained that he will inform them of any changes as it develops. They seemed content. He asked if they had any further questions or issues. None came forth. They didn't question him as they went back to their assignments.
I walked in and politely asked the ponytail man if he could point me to the exit since I was lost. One of the men was a police officer. He recognised me so he volunteered to take me up. He asked me why I was down here to begin with. I explained that the train was switched off and I was late. Mom had set a curfew and she won't take it kindly. He switched on his Comms and he heard it on the radio. He made a face that promised punishment before he pointed at a ladder leading to the surface. As thanks I tipped him off about the hidden cameras. He asked me to elaborate and the first thing that came to my mind was the conspiracy that Angelica mentioned. She swore she would expose a hidden community of supernatural beings which I thought was a load of baloney. I knew I was standing in front of those people but I pretended I was ignorant. He grinned as did the others. I explained I was trying to get to the electronics store before heading home so I could get the parts to fix my computer. I also had to stop by the pharmacy to get some meds too. I had to call the electrician to fix the washing machine and the garbage disposal. The darn thing keeps breaking down. The electrician is not fixing it properly. I am going to call him and if he gives his usual earful of excuses I will check YouTube for answers and fix it myself.
He asked me if I had other issues. I explained that I have an entire toilet paper roll size list of items to fix.
He actually did a double take which made everyone else laugh. I explained that I chose to get off the train to get my chores done so I can sleep in. Mom is so busy she is exhausted when she gets home. I would like to help her since my brother is otherwise engaged. He gave directions so I could get everything I needed in less time. He asked me to tell him about Angelica. I explained that she is a bully who thinks she is the queen of the world but was born to poverty. She believes if she finds them. They will pay her to shut up. She wants to blackmail. I want to prove she is nuts. So far she has tried to abscond my friend's financials or roam around at the subway at night time all because she heard rumors of a bear size wolf and some people doing a Texas style shoot out. I didn't believe her hallucinations one bit. This made everyone smile. I asked him if he could give the safest route to the homeless shelter since my house was nearby. He promised to drive me home as soon as I got everything I needed. I waved at everyone and wished them all a safe night. The ponytail man smiled brightly.
I faced the officer, "Angelica Wilder. 21 B in the Kruger apartment building. It is near the intersection which connects Willow road with Hyde street. You know the big building next to the biker gang club. She is one of the idiots in a conspiracy group called the narrative. Good luck. She is like chewing gum. She has to stick something before she lets go of whatever she's holding on to. I wish someone would just chuck her in an asylum where she belongs" The officer gave me a smile as he followed me up. I got everything and reached home safely. I ordered pizza and began fixing the oven. The thermostat was busted so I replaced it. Then I fixed the garbage disposal. The pizza arrived and I ate a slice and walked over to the washing machine. I remember kicking the infernal machine a few times before I removed the back panel to repair the machine. I had YouTube as an instructor. After the repair I went upstairs to fix the sinks and drill holes to place the bathroom cabinet. I replace the tap and replace the inside of a flush tank. Then I walked around till I found the faulty wire which was affecting the cable. I took a sample before calling mom for permission to go to the hardware store to get a replacement wire. Mom was occupied so she agreed absentmindedly. I walked out and did a Google search. The nearest store was a ten minute walk away.
I got what I wanted and walked out. The ponytail man was across the street. He seems to be staring at me. I crossed the street. His grin widened. I asked him if he was following me. He expressed his concern about my safety since young girls were being kidnapped lately. I appreciated his concern. He walked me home and asked me to lock the door. I did and fixed the cable. Then I went back to Frankensteining my laptop. I checked the new program I had and made sure there were no flaws. Then I sat down to meditate. Mom came home to see everything was fixed and pizza. She ate a slice and passed out. I miss sleeping. I used my new found knowledge for good use. I cleaned the house and did the laundry. When mom woke up I had ironing the clothes. I was cooking breakfast. Shaw came with bagels and some sandwiches. We sat down and ate before a quick shower and our direction. I saw Angelica was talking to a strange man near a van. It looked like a tiny house. She talked about the places she has heard about the vampire and werewolf confrontations. He explained that the police had discovered his cameras and removed them all. So he has to start from scratch. She was told to keep her eyes since she might end up killed. She may also find a way to expose them. She needs to be careful. The unhumans have lived for thousands of years in secrecy. They won't be so easy to expose.
The officer from last night wasn't far away so I walked over and told him to watch them both like a hawk. The man asked me to focus on homework instead. I smiled as I walked away. The stranger told Angelica to keep an eye out for people who are unusual. Some people will claim to be ill whilst others will use some other excuse. He has already started surveilling places where he is sure they will meet. Right now he is fixing a drone to fly over estates he believes houses such people. He is certain that they have people working in different places. Some of them are police officers, maybe doctors or even some in the science department. He is hoping to expose them so he could get society back to honest living. He believes they are manipulating society so they can slowly enslave them. He believes that they will try to kill them for proving their existence. Right now everyone who has ever exposed them has been incarcerated, institutionalised or missing or ignored. He is sure society has changed to open minded people who will not let this injustice go on. She promised to keep an eye out as he boarded the van. He explained he is going to my old hospital to check medical records to see if there is anything fishy. If there is anything out of the ordinary then he will know where to start. She wished him luck as he took off.
I entered the diner nearby requesting to use the bathroom. I made myself invisble. I flew to the hospital and entered form the roof. I made to wipe my prints off. I borrowed a pair of gloves as I walked towards the records department. I quietly encrypted the digital records so outsiders can't access it. Then I removed the physical documents and moved them along with a few others. I threw the gloves into the garbage. As I made my way out the conspiracy theorist walked in and changed into scrubs. I made myself visible and walked in to warn a security guard that a pedophile walked into the hospital. I saw him change into scrubs. The man took his walkie talkie and called it in. The security confirmed that a non-hospital resident just walked out of the lockers wearing a nurse's uniform. He is heading towards the children's ward. I recalled the children's ward was near the room holding patient medical records. The man thanked me as he asked me to either go get myself checked out, see a patient or get out. I smiled, "I was just leaving." He waved me away as he went to arrest him. I got back home and enjoyed a lasagna when mom came over to ask me a few questions.
The security guard outed me as the tipper. So I explained that he was last seen talking to teenagers and he talked about finding vulnerable people. So I followed him. I kept my distance and she stared at me incredulously. She asked me not to do it again. She promised to keep me anonymous. The officer who accompanied her smelled like a wet dog. I gave him a wink as mom walked to get a glass of water. I changed my eyes so he knows I am one of him. I explained to him that the one mom came to ask about wants to expose them. I just put him away as a felon. He gave me a small smile as I changed my eyes back to normal. He gave me a syringe explaining that it will help me stay human till I find a place to change. That way I won't hurt my mom or expose anyone else for that matter. I couldn't explain that I am the hybrid that he was aspiring to be. I kept my mouth shut as mom came over. I quietly hid the syringe and he gave me a wink as he walked out. Mom walked out first and he turned to face me as I tried to close the door. He gave me an address and asked me to meet others like me. They won't ask how I changed just that they are familiar with me so they can protect me. I explained the one I want to protect is my mom. I will do anything for her. He promised me that nothing will happen to her as long as I don't betray the werewolves. I promised to behave and he smiled as he walked away.
