Chapter 15 - A change is gonna come
Mohlakeng was a small, quiet town west of Johannesburg city and precisely what they needed to go about unnoticed. Syrup's uncles' house was in a suburb in the outskirts and it had a garage with enough capacity for two cars, so that no one would even see them get out of the vehicles to get in the house.
Syrup seemed to be really enjoying herself as she went out first and shushed loudly at the rest, heading for the door at the bottom of the garage that led to the house. It was dark and Ana could only hear her step away, tripping on a few metallic things. A thin line of pale light split the wall when Syrup o

They needed to hurry. The hour had probably almost passed if it hadn't already, and they still needed to get to the bridge. Michael's mate could arrive any moment and they didn't want to be left behind.
Meanwhile, Ana spoke on her phone as they trotted through open ground, keeping away from the road.
"Ana?" said Syrup's voice. "Where have you been? I've been calling your cell phone for two days."

"Stay?"
"Look, I- it's kind of a very long story."
"Hmm. Can you give me a summary?"

General Raddi said formally as he walked into his office. Folowing behind him Athaka paused, more than a little surprised at the sight of the two Jedi standing before the desk.

Chapter Six
Earth, District 10
Daylight did nothing to break the uneasiness inside the walls of District 10. The inhabitants mostly stayed in their tents and the stillness of the camp was unsettling. The few who did go outside kept far away from the main gates and they scurried quickly to their tasks and back. The night had been full of sound and light. The ligh

He was dreaming again. Constantly the painful, frightening transformation that Wikus had undergone due to the Poleepkwa infection chased him into his dreams. The memory of his new carapace emerging from the fleshy shell he'd previously called his body had been brutally seared into his subconscious. Even the pain chased him into t

"Have you managed to speak with Rineke?" asked Josh the moment he woke up and looked over the couch he was lying on.
Glenda hung up the phone with an angry bang. "No "
There was a loud grumble in response to the noise, coming from the poleepkwa sitting in a nearby armchair, who rose his head in surprise. He was wearing a gigantic hoody, fitting his own impressive size.
"Sorry, Michael " Glenda moaned, stroking her tired eyes.
It was early in the morning, and none of them had barely slept. Michael had spent the night there at Glenda's house with them. They tried calling MNU dozens of times,
