Chapter 6

I woke up in my room like usual, but there was a problem.

Cyrus:"What happened? The last thing I remember is leaving the park last night. Did I confront that other memory manipulator? How did I get back here?"

I was very confused. I planned to go after the second person on my recent list of targets last night. I climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face. I had no memory of what I did after leaving the park so I assumed that I did meet the second memory omega. His name is Oscar.

Cyrus:"Did I kill him? Does he know who I am?"

I didn't know how I got home so I was worried that my face or address was known. If the right people found out who shadow is then I could be killed. I was much more vulnerable when not wearing the suit so targeting me in my everyday life would be the easiest way to kill me. I decided to stay on high alert today, but I was still worried especially since I would be spending the day with Mia.

The two of us were given an escort job by the supreme and we had to do it today. I took a shower then got dressed in a red shirt with black trousers and a blazer. Red was actually my favorite color so I was happy to be wearing it. I quickly made my way to where Mia and I were suppose to meet our escort target.

I was quite early so I walked around the area trying to check if I was being followed. I wasn't sure what happened last night so I had to be extra careful. There was a chill in the air, but my blazer was plenty for warmth. I have always loved the smell of cold air so I was enjoying my walk.

Mia:"Heeeey!! Cyruuuuus!"

I noticed Mia waving at me with a big smile on her face as she made her way towards me.

Mia:"You got here before me."

Cyrus:"I wanted to check out the area before the meeting."

Mia was wearing a light pink sweater that was a little big on her and a black skirt with leggings.

Mia:"So how do I look."

She spun around in front of me.

Cyrus:"You look great. Pink is really your color."

*I wonder if she's try to match with her hair or if she really likes pink that much.*

Mia:"Thanks!"

The two of us found a place to sit down and started talking.

Mia:"I was up early this morning again. Shadow attacked someone last night."

Cyrus:"Really? What happened?"

Mia:"I heard that he failed this time."

Mia seemed to be very happy while she talked.

Mia:"The person he went after fought him off and he left without killing him."

Cyrus:"Was this omega he attacked really strong?"

Mia:"The guy apparently can manipulate memories and tried attacking shadows mind which must of scared him off."

Cyrus:"So did they learn anything about shadow?"

Mia:"Sorry, grandfather caught me after I heard that last part so I didn't get to hear the rest."

*So last nights target is still alive. Damn it!*

Cyrus:"Well it doesn't really matter to us since shadows not our job."

Mia:"Yeah but I can't wait to see the look on his face when he's caught. Oh yeah! We finally know what shadow looks like. A picture was taken of him the other night. Want to see!"

Cyrus:"Sure."

Mia pulled out her phone and showed me a picture. I saw myself wearing the suit standing in the bedroom of my last target.

*There was a camera! Damn I'm making to many mistakes!*

Cyrus:"What a weird outfit."

Mia:"I think he's an alpha and this suit gives him all his power. Apparently he's left traces of using many abilities at different attacks. Grandfather plans to release this image to the public tomorrow."

Cyrus:"I don't think it will help much since he probably knows not to be seen in the suit."

Mia:"Grandfather thinks they might be able to get some information about where it was made and who made it."

Cyrus:"I guess the noose is tightening around shadows neck."

Mia turned her head and widened her eyes then she jumped up. When I checked what she was looking at I saw two people. A tall man and a short woman who both had purple hair. The man looked around 20 with a slender build and wore blue jeans and a long sleeve black shirt. The woman looked around 12 with hair down a little past her shoulder blades and wore a white dress. Despite how young she looked she gave off a mature feel.

Mia:"Lisa! Vincent!"

Mia ran towards them with a huge smile on her face so I followed after her.

Mia:"It's been such a long time!"

Lisa:"Did your grandfather not tell you, we've been back for a few days. I told the supreme I wanted to see you on our day off so he set up this job."

Mia:"So you're who we're escorting?"

Lisa:"Yes."

Vincent:"It's good to see you're well Mia."

Mia:"You've gotten tall Vincent!"

I walked up next to Mia, but she didn't seem to notice I was there. I heard their talk so I figured they knew each other somehow. Lisa noticed me first.

Lisa:"Who's this Mia?"

Mia:"Oh! This is Cyrus. We're a pair."

Lisa:"My name is Lisa. It's nice to meet you Cyrus."

Cyrus:"It's nice to meet you. How do you and Vincent know Mia?"

Lisa:"The three of us played together when we were small."

*Wait...how old is she?*

Mia:"You don't look any different Lisa. If I didn't know any better I'd think you were a kid."

Lisa:"I'm already 17! Vincent stole all the nutrients before we were born!"

Mia and Lisa laughed as they continued their conversation for a few minutes.

Mia:"So what do you have planned for today."

Lisa:"I wanted us to do some shopping together. Vincent and I are moving back here and we need some things."

Mia:"Then lets head to the shopping district!"

The girls took off at a quick pace. Vincent and I followed them, but kept a little distance.

Vincent:"So the two of you are a pair."

Cyrus:"Yeah. What about you and Lisa?"

Vincent:"We're twins and a pair. It just made sense to pair up."

Cyrus:"So you're both 17? Neither of you look it. I would've guessed you were 20 and she was 12."

Vincent:"She's actually older then me, by a few minutes."

We followed them for the rest of the day while they went from store to store getting things. I thought we would have to carry all the stuff, but it turns out most of the stores have the option to deliver it to your home. Sunset wasn't to far off when they decided to call it a day so we all made our way to the train station. We all got on the same one and Mia was the first to get off.

Mia:"I'll call you about meeting up tomorrow."

Lisa:"Sure. Everything we bought should arrive in the morning so you can help us set up our new place."

Mia:"Bye."

Mia waved as she got off the train. She didn't leave the platform until the train was out of sight. After a while we reached my stop and I got off, but I was surprised when they got off with me.

Cyrus:"Is this you stop too?"

Lisa:"Yeah our apartment is around here."

Cyrus:"What's you address?"

I let out a little chuckle when I heard their address. They lived in the same apartment building as me.

Cyrus:"I live in the same building."

Lisa:"Really! Then we're neighbors!"

Cyrus:"Have the two of you been there yet?"

Vincent:"We've been there, but we're not very familiar with these roads yet."

Cyrus:"Follow me then."

I led the two of them to the apartment building and they thanked me.

Cyrus:"Goodnight you two."

Lisa:"Goodnight Cyrus."

I headed up to my apartment and worked out then showered. I decided not to go out as shadow tonight and just went straight to sleep.
