Chapter 8: Hatred knows no bounds

Gerri going by Jason's place knocks and waits for someone to answer. Usually she could just go and hang out with the boys despite her past relationship with Jason. Today was different however because noone answered the door. She then knocked on their neighbor Trevor. "Hey, have you seen the twins?" She asked. "They haven't been home in sometime. I'll let you know when I see them again." Trevor responds while closing the door as a particular smell starts to creep out of his apartment room. Gerri shakes her head and walks off into the night.

[Weeks from that day]

Gerri calls the boys home phone and noone answers. "OK, what is going on?" she wonders to herself. She tries calling their cellphones multiple time in the weeks that follow but still radio silence. Gerri drops by her parents house. Her father greets her at the door with a warm smile looked around quickly before shutting their door. Gerri and her parents looked like any loving and warm family but in reality they were a 3 man deep cover and surveillance team that was assigned to watch Jason extensively. Gerri losing close proximity visual and her "Father" Agent Allen Fitzgerald "Fitz" being their Guardian Angel [Long Range Target Observation] specialist was close to disciplinary actions due to him losing complete observation of both Amelia and Jason. As their Logistic and Team Captain Rhonda "Ronni" Fitzgerald went through the feeds and all known documentation. "We need to look into the potential that Amelia has taken Jason and if so that breaks the ceasefire between the factions."

[the following month]

Jason, Amelia, Samuel and David return back to college as if nothing has happened. As they enter the school all eyes are on them. The facial expressions range from fear to disgust and finally unbridled lust from males and females alike. Jason could hear the whispers of those around him and while that use to bother him in the past now somehow he gave no fucks. He walked with Amelia on his arm while Samuel and David were in front directing traffic. Amelia was keeping her regal air about her: head held high, purposeful strides and radiating control and elegance. Jason however was all over the place and they even stopped and David shot Jason the dirtiest look because he wanted to try and alive the public's restlessness. "Hey y'all, I know that I look well weird but I promise you that I nor my friends here mean you any harm. We just want to continue our education in peace. If you get to know us you will realize that we are not what the media and the past has designated us as. We don't think you are any less of a person compared to us. We hold you in very high regards because A. We want to coexist with you, thank you." Jason says as he looks about

The rest of the day into week went as normal as possible for him at least. Quite a few of the menfolk and to an extent some of the ladies engage you about your lifestyle and some of your closer friends outside of David try and poke into his personal life. When David steps up to push them off Jason waves him off and continues to talk. Hovering in the back is Gerri and upon seeing Jason she quickly turns on her heels and quickly leaves the area. She calls into her superior and put in motion an event that would try and reignite the war.
