《Law of God (Book 1)》Chapter Eighteen
Advertisement
I heard my cell phone ring and I answered the phone call. After I said hello, it was Mandy who had called. "Hey, what are you doing calling from a different number?" I asked.
Mandy sighed, walking herself into the living room of her home, and she apologized because her old phone had broken. "Oh, it's okay." Mandy then explained she had no other way to reach me, since we're not friends on social media, yet.
"Do you have Facebook?" I asked, wondering. "Oh I'm, I don't do Facebook or anything like that to be honest, I am sort of private." I shook my head understanding Mandy, and Jacob had come into the living room to watch TV.
As I continued talking to Mandy, walking my way into the living room, I asked Jacob what he wanted to watch, and I turned the tv on, and put on a cartoon for Jacob.
"So, I see that you're all over the news now, including Jacob," Mandy said.
"Yeah," I said, chuckling, "We're pretty screwed." I said, walking my way back to the kitchen after handing Jacob the remote. "Just so you know, I am here if you ever need anything." I exhaled deeply, "Yeah, I know, I appreciate it so much."
Jacob then stood up from the couch and I saw him come into the kitchen. "Yeah," I said, clearing my throat, before I continued my sentence.
"Listen, Jacob is needing something, he's just standing there looking at me, and I think he needs something." Mandy sighed, before yawning. "Yeah sure, tell him I said hello." I put the phone to the side away from my ear, and I told Jacob that Mandy said hello.
Jacob just stood there by the counter wondering when I was gonna get off the phone. I chuckled, and I put the phone back against my ear, "Jacob said hello."

It was thundering and raining outside, skies were gray, and I was sitting in my car alone waiting for the grocery store to open. It was early in the morning, around seven fiftyish. The store doesn't open until eight ò clock. I looked at my watch, and I sighed, just leaning myself backwards in my seat.
I then received another message from this random person, and this was like the fifth time they hac threatened me and my brother. I just ignored the text message once again.
I sighed, opening the door of my car, and grabbed my stuff before exiting out. I marched my way up to the store, and the doors were already opened by the store owner.
I sighed, hearing another text message go off. I pulled my cell phone out from my pocket and I noticed another harassment from a different number.
I see you! The text message said.
I just looked around the parking lot, and I didn't see anyone. Another few minutes later, as soon as I walked my way into the store, I heard another text message being sent. I read it, and this time it says, you can't hide from me!
I then felt like I was starting to freak out. I grabbed a grocery cart and I started marching my way to the dairy eile, and I looked at my messages once again. I immediately did what I had to do, and went up to the checkout center.
Once I paid, I immediately thanked the cashier and I grabbed all my stuff together and once I started to walk away, the cashier told me that I forgot my receipt. She could tell I was in a hurry.
After I had left the store, I had gotten home carrying the groceries in. Mrs. Hutchinson saw me come in, and she decided to help me. I thanked Mrs. Hutchinson and we both walked into the kitchen together.

Together, we were putting all the groceries on the counter, I pulled out my cell phone and see if I got any more messages. Mrs. Hutchinson looked at me like she knew I was furious while holding onto my phone. "What is it?" Mrs. Hutchinson asked.
"I, someone has been constantly messaging me, and threatening me, they know that I went to the store by myself."
"What?" Mrs. Hutchinson asked, frowning.
I just laid my cell phone on the counter. I then started to put away my groceries.
"You need to go to the police, Ryan. This isn't okay."
"I know," I said, putting my milk in the refrigerator.
"Ryan, please go to the police," Mrs. Hutchinson said.
"I will.. I just." I started to stuttering my words again.
Mrs. Hutchinson then walked up to me, I closed the refrigerator and Mrs. Hutchinson just sighed, hugging me, giving me comfort.

The Designated: Out of Control
It happened quicker than anyone would have imagined. Multiple hurricanes were one thing. People had dealt with that in the past. But, like kids playing dominoes, one thing crashed into another. Areas affected by hurricanes needed resources all along the Gulf and East Coasts drew rescuers and resources away from other parts of the country. When wildfires lit up the Pacific coast and mid-west, those areas were already understaffed. Driven by hurricanes in the Pacific basin, uncontrolled wildfires burned through towns, destroying everything in their paths. Across the Pacific, Asia didn't escape. From the Philippines, across China, into Indochina, and Bangladesh and India. Typhoons and cyclones pounded the coasts and far inland. Widespread flooding forced millions from their homes and across international borders. Mexico was hit hard and thousands died in mudslides as Katia slammed into their East Coast. The refugees fled north and west. Rumours started that hundreds of thousands were headed for the US border. Instead of running out of steam in the southern US, several hurricanes tore up the eastern seaboard, devastating cities and renewing their strength before veering east across the Atlantic. Maria and Ophelia veered east and slammed into Europe, reaching as far as the Netherlands and Russia before finally dissipating. After that, too many weather stations were offline to provide any form of co-ordinated information or warnings. Wildfires in Portugal burned ahead of the storms, fanned by hurricane winds. They sparked wildfires leapfrogging across Europe, beyond any one country's ability to cope. Already uneasy from multiple terrorist attacks over the summer, anti-refugee groups seized the opportunity to stage protests across Europe. Some turned violent as they clashed with police forces. Several governments declared martial law to quell the rioting and enforce evacuations along the path of the storms. Rumour and speculation overwhelmed facts. Unrest spilled over into widespread violence. Then sickness broke out in the displaced populations. Within a matter of a dozen weeks, tens of millions died. In the coming winter months hundreds more would follow. The Designated Project was activated.
