*Note: This is an old story that I have worked on in the past. I have not completed it, but I am going to put the completed chapters on here, one-by-one. It has a weird name for something that does not directly involve two companies, but it is an interesting story. Also the story is told through the perspective of a 14 (turned 15 later on in the story) year old boy*. 

 

Prologue: 

A helicopter flies away from the White House and the pilot's radio starts to pour out static followed by a man speaking, "An unknown source of technology has been found in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The President wants the technology to be kept under safe keeping and tight security. The Fleet has lost a few ships, and we have lost over a thousand men already. The Ellis children and friends need to be kept in Trinity until further notice". 

 

Chapter 1: The Encounter

Pineville, Massachusetts, United States:

I am Hunter Ellis, I am 14 years old. I live in Pineville, Massachusetts with my stepmother and stepfather Mr. and Mrs. Valentine and stepsister Brianna, who likes being called "Breezy". Breezy is very smart and is a "take charge" kind of person, she makes straight A's in school and is very strict and organized, though she stresses out when there is too much to handle on her own. My stepparents are bakers and they are mainly known for their famous Special Delight Cakes that they make every now and then. 

 

They are really nice to me and everyone else that they meet during their work hours. I live with them in a three story house in the middle of Pineville, which is surrounded by woods and some swamps. The population of Pineville is 358 people and for some unknown reason, the animal population of the town has been increasing dramatically. Animals have never really liked this town. About 5 years ago, the animal population dropped very quickly, and for the past few months the population has boomed to where the populations have gone through the roof. 

 

August 25th, 2017:

I was walking to school with my twin sister Angie Ellis, whom I have been separated from since we were both 7 years of age, and her very shy friend Sherry Anston. We were all friends and we also loved making new friends at the beginning of every school year. So on our way to school, we stopped by some of the new students and talked with them before we left for the rest of the way to school. 

 

Sherry was abused as a younger child by her father, but she was cared for by her mother. Her mother always took a hit for her when she was at home, but stays at work almost all day. Then at the age of 10, her mother passed away because of Cancer and so Sherry was abused even more by her father, who didn't know what to do since her mother died, so he took out his pain and anger on Sherry. 

 

Sherry always acted extremely shy around me and would whisper when trying to talk to me. It never really bothered me before because I actually found it to be cute, but I never really told anyone. Last Valentine's Day my parents had gotten very excited that I had gotten a letter from an admirer. I actually thought that it would just be a prank from my friends, but to my surprise it was from Sherry. The only way I could tell was by the handwriting and the small heart at the end of the note. The way they were put onto the note reminded me of how Sherry usually wrote and drew. 

 

When we had arrived at Brooklyn High, Sherry had tugged my arm and waited for me to look at her. As I turned my head, I followed her hand as she started to point at something in the distance at the Elementary School. I looked very carefully over at Brooklyn Elementary, and there was a very tall man in a suit standing near the young children. The odd thing was that he was staring at us while trying to hide behind the shade of one of the school's Pine Trees. I asked Angie if she knew the teacher by the tree and she said that she didn't know him at all. Since Angie's stepfather was the principle of Brooklyn Elementary, and each teacher visited her family every time they were free on the weekends, I thought that she would know him. I looked back at the Elementary School and noticed that the man was gone, and the children acted as if nothing happened. I went back to looking at Angie and Sherry, "If you see that man again, do not get near him" I said to them as we walked into the school. 

 

Class went on as usual and we had our weekly Friday pop quiz, whoopee for me. Before we took the quiz, Mr. Mobley said that today's quiz was going to be cut short due to a planned fire drill later on in the day. What puzzled me was that it was early in the school day and that fire drills usually happen around the end of the day. After about an hour I finished my test and was surprised that I finished it a lot faster than I originally thought. I handed in my test and told Mr. Mobley that I felt like I rushed through the test, but took some actual thought into my answers. Mr. Mobley looked at my quiz and noticed that at the very bottom of the page, the words "The Tall Man...in the Black Suit, What does it mean?" written in pen. He asked me who exactly I was talking about, so I told him about the tall man from the Elementary School. He told me almost the exact same thing I told Angie and Sherry, "Stay away from that man as long as possible". He stopped me before I could leave the room and finally said "Hunter. Strange disappearances have been happening across Massachusetts. Some witnesses of the children disappearing say that children go missing not long after being seen with a strange, tall man wearing the exact same clothes that the man you described was wearing". I walked away and met up with Angie and Sherry and started telling them what I was told. 

 

As I walked Angie and Sherry home, being the caring person that I am, we started to agree that one of us should look up the disappearances on the internet to see if they were true. I told them that since my school work needed me to look up information, I would look up the info on the disappearances while I worked. I was actually excited to use my computer since it was brand new and that my computer had new updates on it. 

 

So I walked the rest of the way home all by myself. The woods behind the houses made me feel strange, I felt like something was watching me. I found myself pacing the rest of the way home and when I got inside, I locked the door behind me. There was nothing outside, and yet it felt as if someone was watching me from a distance, watching my every move, waiting for something to take place. I went to my room and shut the door along with my window curtains. My computer was sitting on top of my desk and it was still on from when I last used it.I opened up the browser and started my research on the mysterious disappearances. 

 

End of Chapter 1. 

*Note: I have edited this chapter slightly and will most likely edit the other chapters. This story may not sound interesting at first, but it does try to become more better as the story plays out*.
