If this was true, Kaeln had gotten made for life. He was an extremely doubtful person, but from what he had seen, he was slowly starting to believe.
He picked up the remote controller and surfed through the variety of channels. Finding nothing interesting, he left a random channel to generate background noise.
Staring at the ceiling for a while, he thought of how his mother would feel when she heard about this developments. The money could remain hiding but his university was another case.
( TV : The government of the UNA, are contemplating on whether the legalized use of bionic weapons and neutron energy was ever a good idea.
As tension rise between Drosvik Union and The Zyranth Republic. The United Nations Alliance are pondering over the sole focus on Genetic Enhancement Technology.
With the 100 decade law which terminated to use of firearms and nuclear weapons. The upcoming war may have the use of Enhanced humans and bionic weaponry, and as we all know those factors could lead to devastating aftermaths if the conflict isn't resolved on time. )
" Getting rid of firearms was the best decision the government took. If gang members held guns, an impending war would be the list of your problems. " Kalen commented.
" Kally, " a voice called out at the door swing open. " What's up Mav, " Kalen replied not turning to face the person which walked in. Rain water dripped constantly down her body as she stood drenched.
Staring at the television, he subconsciously changed the channel. ' The rain increased and I didn't notice. ' he thought, " You left your bike out in the rain " Mavlin said, " So? " He replied.
" I helped park it well for you "
" Argh!!! What do you want form me " he exclaimed calmly. A tried expression stretched across his face, he knew his sister, she did nothing for free.
" Nothing, I just decided to be nice " she said drying her wet body, he sighed, " Tell me before I reconsider my request. "
Mavlin kept mute for a second before blurting out, " I want to go out to a party by 6, Kalen turned to see her facing another direction with her hands over her mouth.
He looked forward, " Then be back before 9 and remember, no smoking, no alcohol, get me a six pack soda. And most importantly No Sex!! " He said making sure to be loud and clear with the last word.
A slightly downcast expression lay on her pretty face, " Okay big bro. " she said drying her silky long black hair while walking into their sleeping room.
" If you disobey one, your sleeping on the roof. " Kalen added getting up and moving to the kitchen, " Thanks Obi. " She said faintly. ' She's a good girl, ' he said to himself grabbing a cup of ramen.
After slurping it up nearly instantly, he went to the room; he and his sister shared. His elder brother also shared the room but wasn't currently living with them so they had a bit more space to themselves.
Finding the door locked, he knew his sister was probably changing into her casual apparel. Minutes of knocking and hollow threatening which he was very good at, she left the room to the bathroom.
As he was now free to access his belongings, he packed his clothes into a few suitcases; bought specifically for his stay at the University.
He owned nothing much actually therefore it didn't take time for him to neatly pack most of his clothes. After packing, he walked towards his sister's dresser which carried a little portrait.
Picking the framed photograph, a sad smile formed on his lips. It captured his complete family smiling happily the camera. A year drop fell on the picture and Kalen cleaned it will his thumb.
" I would find you dad and I will make them pay. " He said with a firm resolve and dropped the picture.
He took his luggage to the sitting room; dropped them their and went back to his room to take a short nap.
**************
A short nap turned into a long rest. Kalen woke up hours later drowsy and sluggish. The house was dark. Only the benevolent orange light slipped into the room lighting it up a little.
He rose from the bed and walked to the sitting room; his mother was back. Turning his phone on the time read, ten fifty-six, ' God, I slept till nine, I guess I am really tired ' he said to himself entering the sitting room.
Mother sat on the couch, looking through a pile of envelopes with a worried look on her face. ' Must be the bills ', Kalen went over and sat besides her.
" Oh Kalen," she said looking at him with a pale smile, " I guess our power supply has been cut. " He kept quiet, she pulled the candle close so she could see.
" Where is Mavlin? " She asked, ' Ahhh, that stupid motherfucker is late ' he thought, " I sent her to get me something, don't worry she would be back. " He lied.
His mother stared at him disapprovingly, " You know I instructed her not to go out at night, " " She would be fine, I will go check on her now, but before that, here's what I found. " He handed her the eviction notice.
Once she saw the topic, she sighed and lay back on the couch. Kalen stood to leave, " I guess I would be of looking for an apartment before taking you to your university. By the way which one is it? " She asked.
Federal university of technology Drexmar. " he said, her expression dropped, " I've heard a lot about that university. It's prestigious yes, but with those rich kids and enhanced children, there is bound to be gangs " she said.
" Please Obi, stay away from them. " his mother pleaded, Kalen sighed knowing this sob pep talk was inevitable, " I'll go check on Mavlin, she has stayed out enough " he said exiting the house.
The rain had stopped but the air lay damp. He went to the side of the house where he's custom Czar Cyclone 17000 MPF. A unique bike of only fifteen in existence and capable of going 0 to 500mph in a millisecond.
At full speed it was exited the ultimate hypersonic speed and was crossing over to be nearly as fast as lightning.
He sat astride the bike and zoomed off into the streets of the Red hollow slum, immediately he had to control its speed as he bounce on the portholed asphalt road.
Maintaining a speed which he appeared as a blur to other road users. He searched through the slum in seconds, looking for possible clues to where he could find his sister and found one sooner than expected.
A close friend of hers staggered ahead drunk and in the company of a burly teen male. His sister however gait unsteady paces behind them.
As he approached, a Nanshee Lunar 7 cruise car parked beside her. The door of the car was opened and she was dragged in.
The car swerved skillful to a U-turn and zoomed off.
Kalen's mind dropped as the scene unfolded before his eyes.
