Chapter 18
It was already midnight. The streets were nearly empty, with owls circling some areas in the darkness. Later, some kind of creature, which looked like an eagle, descended towards a rather large house. The house may belong to some wealthy person.
Indeed it was. It was Raul's house, and the eagle was just an assistant to the rebellious client who ended ties with his boss Dominic just a few hours before. The eagle grabbed Raul off the flag pole and into the surface. As the eagle departed, Raul entered his residence, and gently walked towards the basement.
In his residence, there is a steel door hidden in the basement area. The door was locked, with state-of-the-art security settings, established by none other than Raul himself. With a few clicks on the security lock, the door slowly shifted to the left, signalling that it was going to open.
What the unlocked steel door revealed was a state-of-the-art laboratory. Yes, a lab, where there are many test tubes, flasks, and other things related to scientific research. It was soon revealed that Raul developed his weapons in that lab. Besides that, there were three chambers in the lab, near a control panel. Two of the chambers were empty, but one of them housed some sort of figure, who was without legs and a right arm.
However, when Raul made some configuration changes through the control panel, he saw that the figure's arm was regenerating. It was regenerating but at a slow rate. Upon seeing the progress, Raul smiled. "You will be free…soon," he said before continuing his work.
Who or what that figure is, and what the super smart Raul is up to, no one really knows. That is, until some light is lit upon the matter. Until then, a new day has already begun, and it would be several hours before the sun shines again. Life goes on.
