Chapter 244 The beginning of the day that changed it all (1/2)

Alex woke up earlier than the usual time, since for some reason he just couldn't calm down. Today was the day of the play, but he wasn't squeamish because of something like stage fright it, he just couldn't calm himself down from something else entirely. He just couldn't help but feel something bad was about to happen. Right now he didn't sleep in the mansion, he slept in the safe house where the Harimas were staying.

He came last night to tell number one the time when he will be punished was moved to another date. Alex explained that he needed the ten of them in their best condition this Friday.What added to the ominous feeling was that today was Friday the thirteenth.

...

Alex woke up the ten Harimas, and did some morning exercises with them. After they were done with their exercise, they had a quick meal then went straight to once again memorizing the layout of the school. Alex had all the ten Harimas memorize the new layout of the school, and showed them were the safe rooms where located.

He explained that if something happens, they should immediately help the civilians head to the safe rooms. He gave a detailed explanation of what positions to be wary of in case there were snipers. He even allowed the ten Harimas to use lethal force if necessary.

He gave each Harima a role to play, and handed out equipment which complimented their role. As Alex was doing this, he remembered what his dad said last night, when he told him about this ominous feeling.

...

”I felt it too, but don't worry too much Alex. Leave this kind of problems to the adults. Why are looking at me like that, don't you trust your dad?”

...

Alex even after his dad told him to leave it to him, just couldn't. This time he really felt like his dad was underestimating the situation. Even Emily who was usually ahead of him by a few steps, wasn't taking this as seriously as he wanted too. Even though Emily was already trying her best, Alex just couldn't shake the feeling that they needed to do more.

While Alex and the ten Harimas werechecking their equipment, Alex received an email from Kei.

”Mercenary Club members, I have discovered something weird please check this out.” In the email there was an attachment. It was numerous pictures, with some people that had been circled, which pointed out suspicious.

”Everyone head to the clubroom, A.S.A.P.” Alex also sent a message to the members of the mercenary club, in which they responded with an okay. Alex also forwarded the pictures to his dad.

”All of you gather around.” Alex gave a command to the Harimas, and sent them the pictures.
