《Phantom Transgression》Chapter 31
Advertisement
Les had been denied visits to Nathan Camshron ever since he was arrested. The morning was no different.
"Why should you see him? Do you want to become his lawyer or what?" Mr. Fernsby had told him once while he was having a bad day.
Every day seemed to be a bad day for him.
Confining someone who was an investigation on the case had put the entire Haq murder mystery on the hold.
"Two days." Les counted on his finger while he sat on his desk, realizing it had been two days since Camshron was thrown in a cell.
Getting along with a new detective was going to be tough for him.
When he moved to the third finger, he thought he was insignificant in the times where he was not under a mission.
All it mattered was the new detective getting along with Mr. Fernsby.
"Five." He counted.
Five days later, they were going to appoint a new detective for Haq's case.
Before he could become a mathematician of his own, his phone rang.
He pressed the Receive button.
"Yes." Les forgot to introduce himself on a device which was given to him by Department of Secondary Affairs.
"From DEA. Are you SWAT Officer, Mr. Les?" the caller asked.
Why would DEA contact me? He was not very positive.
"Yes. I'm Les." He replied for the sake of politeness.
"We thought it would be better if we informed this to DSA's SWAT Officer. This matter would have been of your concern sooner or later." The person scoffed, "Just canceled the delay part."
"What happened?"
"Yesterday we had busted some drug dealers. But we stumbled into an unlicensed gun trader by mistake. The gun seller possessed the hologram which reportedly Phantom Being also had."

Les was startled to hear it.
"Did you arrest the man as well?" Les questioned.
"He is still in our custody. He is CIA's headache after all."
"I'll inform Mr. Fernsby about this."

Supreme Court exists in DC and so does the MPD. There is no safest temporary prison arrangement except there in whole DC. Hence MPD was also involved in this case so CIA and whole US government trusted the MPD for short prison of Norton until he was declared the criminal as per the law. MPD along with CIA was sure about the existing security arrangement capacity.
Two days had passed after the trial in the court and everything seemed to be well calmed down. Killing or any attack hadn’t happened in South Dakota, Langley, as well as in Washington DC since then. Norton was in MPD's most secure cell. The cell was of about 3×4 meters, had four CCTV cameras, a sink, a toilet seat and a small bed. Very uncomfortable for him, but he did not care what his physical comfort meant to him.
Now his mental comfort was the only thing he needed and the only way to it was being pulled off the matter. Last day he had sent an appeal in White House about his innocence and the decision was pending. They were going to be canceled, anyway. If the appeal was canceled, then there was not any way out of these.
Norton was taken out of his cell for the first time by two heavy, muscular Afghan guards. Norton saw a bunch of keys hanging on one's waist and he was sure a gun would be hanging on the other side of waist. Norton was soon sweating.
All he needed to do was to grab the gun, shoot the guard, steal the keys, and run for his life. This was a perfect chance. He had now lot of things to get but nothing except his life to take.

Who wants this life which can end after few months? His mind had started thinking pessimistically.
Now Norton was in attack mode. He could feel both guards loosing grip on his arms. His face turned red. He was busy in looking at gun and key, ignoring where he was being taken to. He was prepared for the battle in a second.
Norton moved to release himself from the grip of heavy men, but they noticed it and pushed him very hard.
Wham!
Now he was in a room, not the execution chamber. He saw a chair and a telephone just in front of it and the lawyer standing behind the unbreakable glass.
Lawyer waved his hands. Norton just got on the earth.
If he had tried to escape, then he was going to be shot by any cop.

MANTIS: On Hiatus
Two young adults who were childhood friends are killed amidst a pandemic worse than our own. After many years apart, Rihelah was on her way to see Michael, hoping to rekindle their friendship on the day they would both lose their lives. The pair are unwittingly selected to represent Earth in a test set forth by godlike beings who are intrigued that our world gave rise to complex life without having been intentionally seeded by their kind. Michael and Rihelah are reincarnated as predatory insects upon a distant planet called Edon. Elves, Dwarves, Dragons and their kin, Goblins, Ogres, Humans, Lizardfolk, Orcs, and sapient arthropods known as Enkelyn all inhabit this beautiful world touched by magic. The tiny mantids must survive terrified and very much alone upon arrival, while neither is aware that the other has also been reincarnated upon the same island. Naked in their new chitinous exoskeletons, they must now brave the terrors of an alien world's food chain. Each will benefit from their years of experience on Earth, but they must somehow find a balance between old lives and new. Moderate mindsets and peaceful values from a mostly safe and privileged life on Earth must now contend and somehow coexist with the strange physiology of a new and unfamiliar body as well as the violent aggressiveness of a predator's mind. To top things off, the pair are about to find themselves struggling with their inner turmoil while swept up by terrible conflicts they know nothing about. Both endure the hardships of their new lives while attempting to understand and make proper use of a mysterious and terse video-game-like System that pops status notifications into their vision from time to time, but initially has no useful interface. Some of the options they are presented with sound enticing, but as with everything else in life, each choice has benefits and drawbacks... Author's Note: This story makes many changes to the original version, and readers of Mantid will find that many things in Mantis are new and different; especially after the first few chapters. I've learned a ton from writing like a madman, and also from the RR community. I appreciate you guys! :)

When a test trial of the energy source incomprehensibly malfunctions, Gino finds himself on the brink of saving or destroying the very reality he had attempted to correct. --- Hey! Author here, just wanted to say that if the synopsis did not sound as exciting as I had hoped it would be, try reading the first 10 chapters? I promise it won't be terrible! :) Whoops, forgot to mention, prologues don't count as chapters! If you've read this far, I might as well tell you what I was inspired by! However, this does NOT mean my story will be similiar in any way to the novels/stories/books listed below. By 'inspiration,' I refer to mainly how the characterizations plot devices, dialogue, conflict introduction/resolution, and thought processes are used and introduced in those works of literature. But in a way, you can interpret this list as, "if the author read and was inspired by these novels, then it's possible that we share similiar tastes, so I'll give this story a try." :) -Those Who Aspired to Become Gods: A darker fairy tale novel (My all-time fantasy favorite despite it being unfinished) -Forgotten Conqueror (Second all-time fantasy favorite) -Brandon Sanderson's The Reckoning trilogy (Third all-time fantasy favorite) -Kel Kade's 'King's Dark Tidings' -Brent Week's Night Angel saga -Red Rising trilogy -Infinite Realm: Monsters & Legends -Reborn: Apocalypse -Reborn: Evolving From Nothing -48 Hours a Day -The New World -Creep -Arrogant Young Master Template A Variation 4 -Can't Cure Deceit -Super Minion -Unparalleled -Unbound -Wake of the Ravager -Overgeared -Solo Leveling -The Tutorial Is Too Hard [email protected] -God of Money -A Snake's Life -The Snake Report -The Tower of God -UnOrdinary -Release that Witch!
