Inheritance

Broken

What do you mean by we, are there more to ASA? "The ASA is a highly secret organization fighting against crime, we're basically the governments backup plan if you ask me." Oh, I see. "We shall proceed to the headquarters later today for now we shall discuss this very matter." For sure would you like a beverage? "Thank you, sir, I am rather parched." It's my pleasure. Hiya Can I get a dirty martini with a hint of a slightly ripe gin; alongside a beer I presume? The bar attendant noted down our order. "To be fully honest sir, this had been a certain family feud between the Blake's, Valencia, and Reynold's. They had a large dispute regarding the partnership enrolment with the Hussain's." So, what does this mean? What did our family feuds have to with any of this? "Adrian, I understand that you have many questions, but you see the issue is this feud was the reason the ASA had been established in the first place. This happened long before your parents were even born, just when your grandparents were in their mid 20's. To be precise the date January 19th, 1972, 49 years from now." Why did this have to do with father's and Abraham's deaths? Everything is so confusing. "Jacob Reynold's our oldest board member had left everything to the first-born grandchild of his which is you sir." So, did pop's, I mean grandfather have anything to do with Force 2? "Not entirely no it was revealed soon after his death. They were inspired by our earlier threat Weyland Yutani. Believe me when I say that they were our biggest threat to date." Worse than Force 2? "Yes, sir I'm afraid so but they haven't appeared in nearly a decade..." Kayden...? Did you know of this? Not entirely but I had been introduced just before Abraham's death when Jonathan and I had attended to some official business up in the Bahama's." The Bahama's?? I thought you both had gone to Barbados. "We did soon after our little trip to Toronto." Wow you seemed to have travelled quite a lot in the space of a week. Is that even possible? Also, what flipping business are you even referring to? I swear this is all very confusing. Not my problem, not my business. Realistically it was but I was not bothered. I was... But I could not risk anything, not now when my family needed me the most. The ASA had to wait for my approval.

My mind was hazy. Really was I bothered for another day of boredom. I was chewing on the edge of my pen not realizing that I still had my assignment left uncomplete. You & I... It really did not work out so well maybe I needed a change for the beat. Some lo-fi or even liquid drum and bass or even nuerofunk. Nothing worked man I needed Kayden. We were not exactly talking. Two days had passed since we met Alex. The beats came along nicely. All I had left to do was write a podcast on how each element of the music merged. The lyrics came along perfectly. 'On our own' the perfect title. Trance was the genre that was needed. My eyes were slightly watery from my last shower. I got caught lacking in plain sight. The day was uncalled for, quite depressing. We spoke for three hours; his heart was broken. Maya had broken up with Kayden. Inflamed, his eyes were a shocking bright red, though his voice was hoarse as he replied. "She's found someone else already bro... I cannot eat or sleep let alone stand on my own two feet. I lied; I admit that I did, but I never knew one single white lie would result to the end of us." I felt bad for him. This was a week in which I needed to be there for him. He was drained of his dreams; a few words came out of his mouth; it was like he did not want to face the world. Kayden Hussain's heart was broken, the same Kayden that made everyone smile without even trying had a look of dismay engraved on his face. You could tell just by taking a glimpse at him that he had not slept. You good...? I know it is not a good question to really be asking but I just wanted to make sure if you needed anything. I am happy to help. "Nah I just need to know that she's okay all I require is her happiness I mean my heart can't stand being apart, but I can't be selfish she deserves to be happy even if it means that we aren't together." I knew he wished her well but deep down he wanted her back, he was in the wrong. But you cannot escape the consequences of one's actions. It was sad as their anniversary was soon and he just could not forget that but lives harshly. She became his heartbeat, his everything.

There was something inhuman about Nathan, the bellboy. I murmured to myself whilst I sat their supporting myself on a nearby beam. "Adrian? What are you looking at?" exclaimed Nathan as he handed me a cup of freshly stirred green tea. My mind was not exactly functioning well at that given point in time. I turned my body around and replied saying I was slightly exhausted after such a long day. "Listen I know master Kayden isn't in the best of moods, but I am still his mere friend of some sort we should support him for his health will be majorly impacted by such events." I nodded in agreement. The tea's nice thank you. He smiled at me and walked out into the wide corridor closing the oak door behind him which had creaked a little, the hinges must have rusted. Alexa plays me Beethoven or even some Bach. My mind found some type of diversion while I fueled my brain with knowledge. They went through a revolving door and out onto the street. Alex wondered what had happened. Why had I never seen the cabin before? Then I realized. The building was sandwiched between two fields. I had always entered from the other side. "Listen—" he began. "No. You listen! I do not know what is going on inside your head. It's because you do not have common sense. You must draw attention to yourself by creating this...fantasy! But just listen to yourself, Adrian! I mean, it is sick. Entrepreneur spies and Russian assassins and all the rest of it..." It's got nothing to do with my niece, Maisha your sister, I said, feeling anger well up inside me. "But it's got everything to do with mine. My dad gets hurt in an accident—" "It wasn't an accident, Maisha." I could not stop himself. Are you so stupid that you think I would make all this up? "Stupid? Are you calling me stupid?" I am just saying that I thought we were friends. I thought you knew me— "Yes! I thought I knew you. But now I see I was wrong. I will tell you what is stupid. Listening to you in the first place was stupid. Coming to see you was stupid. Ever getting to know you...that was the most stupid thing of all." She turned and walked away in the direction of the station. In seconds she had gone, disappearing into the crowd. "Adrian," a voice said behind me. It was a voice that I knew. Mother was standing on the sidewalk. She had seen and heard everything that had taken place. Saved by the alarm clock. It was a nightmare... My heart was pacing faster than usual. What a usual dream. Maisha turned against me. I needed a kick back into reality I was losing my mind.
