Chapter 2: THE RACE FOR LIFE.:

Currently Jacob is going through his life memories the good, the bad and even the ones he wish he could forget but because of his eidetic memory he finds it very hard to forget somethings. A perfect example of why a gift can turn into a curse if handled in a wrong manner.

After reminiscing about his past for awhile he suddenly realised that he has two major regrets in his life one of them being the weapons of war and destruction he designed and built for power hungry politicians and their posse and the other more prominent regret he curse himself for everyday is not finding love or starting a family because for all he knows he is the last Monroe of his bloodline, so it became one of his most shameful and major regrets.

I'm currently going through a Battle within my brain a very devastating war between my conscience and my heart because in my hands right now is the last amber in the flames of my legacy a very remarkable achievement if I do say so myself because after many years of research, wasting many of the resources available to me and finally through my knowledge and experience I've finally crack the code to immortality.

The only problem being I can't bask in this glory because if I did I will end up in the twisted web of power hungry politicians hence I'm the only individual who knows it exist, even Malcolm doesn't know. Ultimately I've learn one thing in these 79 years of my life and that is the human heart is a very fickle and evil thing, your best friend today can be your most hated enemy tomorrow and having the cure for death will turn even fathers against their sons let alone the best of friends.

So I decided to keep all the knowledge pertaining to this project in my head after all what's the use of having eidetic memory if it can't be abused right. The only evidence of the [Final Amber Project] is this 70ml vile of blue serum in my hands which I named [Angel Tears] named after the legend of the tears of angels being capable of curing all illnesses and adding a 1000 years to a mortal life or so they say. I wasn't ever a believer of religion or myth I'm a man of science but they do make for excellent backstories.

Now I'm undecided whether I should take the serum or wait for my death like every other person my age.....decisions, decisions!. Just as i was contemplating whether to take the [Angel Tears] or not i suddenly heard a sound of a car pulling up.

SFX: SKREEEEECCCCHHH

looking up from his daze form he saw a black van pulling up right outside the private park on the side where the children were playing around and suddenly two men in red jumpsuits and funky clown masks hop out the back of the van and kidnapped 4 of the children playing in the park. The children's terrified screams alerted their parents on the other side of the park to the situation going on but before anyone of them could react the doors to the back of the van were already closing and the driver was pulling off.

It took me seconds to come to a decision and few more to inject the [Angel Tears] into my system. Immediately after I took the serum my body felt rejuvenated and light but I didn't even wait to see or analyse the results of almost 20 years of my hard work. I just took off running and the next thing I know I'm moving faster than a normal human should and the more I run the lighter I get on my feet and even after running for 5 minutes at my age with that much speed I wasn't tired one bit If anything I was more relieved.

As I was running I got closer and closer to the black van but no matter how fast I was moving because of the serum, the van always stayed within sight but that was good enough for me at this moment. Without even realising it the serum started changing my physique from the inside out but I didn't pay no mind to that because my entire focus was on following that van and hopefully saving those children from whatever fate those masked men planned for them.

After following the van for what seems like an hour, until the van started slowing down near an abandoned industrial area where it parked off outside a warehouse causing me to slow down and hide from view because I needed to figure out a way to safe the kids from their peril without bringing them to harm.

Observing the men from a safe distance I saw them drag the kids by the scruff of their necks into the warehouse with the gate to the warehouse closing after their entry. During my strategising I came to a sudden halt realising that the park the kids got snatched from is in a private estate making me wonder how the masked men manage to sneak into the estate without the estate guards realising but before I could finished with my thought I found my entry into the warehouse through an open window 15 meters off the ground far from the gate.
