By the time Kris, and the rest came down from the cop's apartment. What they saw was the two newbie's laying on the lobby's floor smoke coming out there bodies, and still twitching.
Kat told Kris, and the others that they took the stairs while Eugene and Nora took the elevator. The elevator was taking too long so she took the stairs, the two men followed her. Aside from the flickering lights everything was ok.
But when the guys opened the main door for her, they started convolsing, and smoked started coming out of their body. That's when she screamed.
"Stay away from the doors, and the bodies for now, We're not sure what ever killed them isn't still active. From the looks of it they were electricuted." said Kris
"Stay away from any water, and don't touch anything metallic." said the cop.
Kris slowly observed the main doors of the building complex, like most common design it's made of glass with aluminum or stainless steel frame. Upon looking to the upper corner of the doors, Kris saw a live wire sticking out from the ceiling, and was in contact with the doors frame where its metallic handles are connected.
"They opened the doors wide enough for that live wire on the ceiling to make contact, and electricuted them."
said Kris.
"I'll call it in, they'll be sending an ambulance to pick them up..." said the cop
"Hey, it's ok. I wasn't too close with those two but, they're family. Grandma is going to be pissed. She even gave them protection talismans." said Kris trying to maintain the cover story.
"They showed it to me, they're just scribbles in some yellow paper." said the now less frightened Kat.
"Those two must be bragging so much just to get into your pants." Kris shook his head
"This two are known to compete over women. They really never learn." Kris sighed.
"This is not new to you is it?!" muttered Clear while staring a Kris's face. Not everyone heard her but He surely did.
Then a sudden realization, hit Kris. He pulled Clear to the side when no one was looking. She didn't resist, and followed him.
The moment, they were out of ear shot, Clear started to ask what's bothering her.
"When I shooked your hand earlier, that's when I felt it. You don't seem all their, you feel artificial... who are you really?" asked Clear.
"Great your an empath! No wonder you avoided death so well..." Kris, said exasperatedly.
"What do you mean? You're not with the military are you? Who are you really?" asked Clear while slapping off Kris's hand from her arm.
"Relax, keep you're voice down... I'll tell you everything just not here. Ok."
An elevator ding, was heard by the group Nora, and Eugene got off the elevator.
Clear didn't say, anything but, was still keeping an eye on Kris.
Officer Burke, told them what happen and both of them were shaken by the situation.
Not long after the police arrives with the ambulance, the two newbies were carried off by the paramedics after they made sure that it was safe.
The two suffered 3rd degree burns, and were comatose at the moment. But Kris new their death won't be long now...
As they were being questioned by the police, and the paramedics left. Kris asked WangXia to take back the rest of the newbies back to the hotel.
He instructed WangXia to safe proof the suite as much as they could, and keep a close eye on their talismans. That, and to wait for him to come back.
While Officer Burke, wanted to escort Mrs. Carpenter home since she was adamant in leaving. While the rest opted to stick together, and get some lunch.
Kimberly went with the other pile-up survivors, and Kat offered to take them. They invited Kris, and Clear but, Clear mentioned she wanted to see Kris's grandmother about this talisman Kat mentioned a while ago.
The group started to go their own way, Clear followed Kris as he went to the parking lot. He spoted alone car a head, it was a black 1971 Chevrolet Nova SS, with the plate number RFK 575.
Kris walked to the driver seat door, and use his TK to open the door, and sat right in. When Clear caught up to him she said, "I thought you rode with everyone else in your group...I didn't know you had brought a car."
Then she paused, "This isn't your car is it?!"
"Nope, you should know it best..." said Kris in a cryptic way.
Clear didn't notice this, and said"People will the cops when they notice this is missing!"
"Don't worry one's gonna look for it, Its not like they can. Just hop on will you, we'll be visiting a friend of yours."
Clear reluctantly got in the car, When they were on the road she ask, "So who are you really? is your name even really Kris? and what about those people with you?"
"Whoa, you sure didn't held back. Yes my name is Kris, and yes those people are related to me. And you can figure who I am later, when we meet with your friend."
When they stopped at the place Kris wanted them to visit Clear saw the sign Bludworth Funeral Home.
She then knew who Kris wanted to meet. As they entered the place, it was just in time when William Bludworth walked out from the back wearing gray coveralls.
"Well, Hello Clear what brings you here this time?, and you have brought fresh meat with you..." in his iconic voice.
Before Clear could answer Kris beat her to it, and said, "Hello to you too, old timer! So which one are you really, and which side are you on?"
"That is for you to find out new blood, If your willing to lend an ear to this old soul..."
"Well I sure didn't come for your Johnny Hancock, well maybe that too but, I would just like to confirm my suspicions." said Kris.
"Well then you both best take a seat, and relax death won't bother us here. For now..."
This is only the first day, and things just keeps getting better...
