"Mom, are you sick?" Illona checked on her mother-in-law.
"I'm good, just sad. My children are far away from me, and I don't know how things are!" Margaret looked at the photo she was holding.
How does she not worry, at this time the situation is very chaotic while her husband and children are fighting in the war. Only Leonel remained by his side as a guard, his sons-in-law and grandchildren could only wait for their return, and wished the Windson family to be reunited in one piece.
"Grandma, are you okay?" Abigail hugged her worried grandmother.
Her little face flushed red almost crying, she also missed her father. Now he can only play in the room without going out. Abigail was confused as to why all the adults went to war while the women had to be at home.
"I'm okay, baby!" Margaret rubbed her grandson's hair, baby.
Every time he saw Abigail, he was reminded of little Samantha. The color of his eyes was also almost the same, only that little Samantha was much more intelligent and naughty. He was not a crybaby like Abigail who would always cry when her request was not obeyed.
"Uncle, you just got out. Did a mutant attack you?" Neil had confronted Leonel with questions after he entered the door, all the way to Margaret's room.
"Sure, but I ran to avoid it!" Leonel had an incision wound from a mutant scratch on his arm, but he hid it well.
"You are stubborn! I warned you not to come out?" Neil lectured his uncle.
The two entered Margaret's room, along with Abigail's deafening babble. Leonel smiled looking at his Mommy face. His old face has always looked sad lately.
Too many worries plagued him. The question is only one, when will the world return to peace? Or when does this war end? What's even more frightening is that will all of this come back as before?
The power in the vanguard is in shocks. Several humans or mutants died defending the territory. Whoever the winner is, obviously too many victims fall.
"Have you heard from your sister?" Illona confronted Leonel with the same question as her son.
"Nothing, they're busy. But I'm sure they're still safe. And I went to the base to retrieve some of the weapons we need for protection here!" Leonel sat on the single sofa by the window.
Illona who understood that if they were going to talk seriously, she immediately took Abigail and Neil out of the room. Leave Margaret, Nattalie, Kimberly and Leonel in the room.
"I'll go tomorrow to bring the rest of the troops with me!" Leonel looked at them all convincingly.
"No way, you remember what Daddy said, he told you to keep us here, not wander against uncontrollable mutants!" Nattalie doesn't approve of that.
The atmosphere of the city was not far creepy from the battlefield, some armed humans were fighting mutants who were trying to harass the population. Plus the virus that spreads kills those who are infected quickly.
Some people choose to hide with the rest of the food supply. Do not want to go out unless the guards and security forces are on duty in each region.
Leonel had no choice but to tell him the information he got. He actually just wanted to tell if his mission had been successful.
"Jasper's in town!" Leonel looked at the women with a confident smile.
"You serious? Then why didn't he come back?" Margaret stood up to her son.
"I don't know Mom. But trust me, he must have had a reason. That's why I'm going to look for him!"
Leonel gave the image of the cctv that managed to record Jasper even if only from the side. Of all the cctv installed in every corner of the city, only one managed to capture the image!
"Why don't you go home, son?" Margaret wiped the picture with tears that had soaked her cheeks.
"He's trying to complete his mission!" Leonel looked at Nattalie who definitely still remembered that.
"Well, I'm sure he must have found it. And right now maybe he's trying to save her!" Leonel didn't know for sure, but he knew his brother well.
"Jasper!" call the latest Margaret, the son was not willing to marry before finding his youngest sister.
Leonel told about Jasper's arrival last night, he also told his destination to check the DNA cells on the haircut that Jasper gave him.
"I will pray, may he always be in God's protection!" Kimberly knew Jasper well enough because her husband Delwyn always told her about him.
"I also want to be a responsible big brother, let me go look for Jasper mom!" His longing for Samantha was also very big, he felt responsible as his sister.
Margaret was worried that she would send one more of her remaining sons in danger. Margaret was not sure whether Jasper was really with Samantha, or perhaps not at that stage.
He was sure Jasper must have had a plan, his son was always acting with a mature plan. Then his eyes looked at Leonel who was still looking at him expectantly.
"Please don't force me, I don't want to lose you!" With a heavy heart Margaret decided that, she did not dare to stare at the disappointed bead of her son.
"All right!" Unexpectedly Leonel would say that.
Leonel left the room without showing any disappointment. He had expected everything to be difficult, which was why he chose to search secretly at night.
Leonel will behave as he always does, and will lock his door tightly at night. They all detect nothing different. Except for Neil, he knows someone's been hiding his uncle.
But he remained silent, for the first time he saw there was a blazing spirit from the man's eyes. Like a wish he had found out from Pandora's box that had been locked tightly.
Leonel did not work alone, he coordinated on his men to split the task. Some stayed on guard in the hotel environment, while others went with him.
"Report mister, headquarters is being breached. We have to get back!" The reports from his men infuriated Leonel, he immediately returned to the base.
Who can enter and break into the tightly locked headquarters and many means of protection. Danger if they take the weapons stored in it. Many types of weapons created by experts are still stored safely there. Now, if it's taken, it'll be harder for him to protect his family.
His steps were fast driving a small plane that could only accommodate that one person. Some of his men followed behind.
Leonel prepared a weapon before entering to catch the thief. Unfortunately, all of them do not show the existence of anyone inside.
Leonel immediately headed for the surveillance room. Found no trace because it looks like their system has been hacked. Which genius managed to decode the protection Jasper had designed. It is almost impossible for anyone to succeed, except …
"Grandfather, whatever stuff is missing!" His orders want to make sure of something.
"Five special weapons have been stolen sir!" His men showed data from the storage room.
"What do they want to do is take this tool!" No one can answer the question.
One of them is a tool created by Jasper that is functioned to spread toxic smoke. And the range is quite wide. What does the thief want to do with this device?
