Damien's pov:
The next day, I got ready to go to meet the builder. He was an old friend of my dad and when Crawford contacted him, he instantly agreed to work with us. We just had to tell him about the designs and what we wanted to remove or add in the house plan.
I put my watch on while I made my way downstairs. The boys were in the kitchen, talking to each other.
"I'm leaving," I informed them and they looked at me.
"Alright, but don't forget to come back early. We still need to look after the Wren guy in the basement." Crawford reminded me and I nodded.
"I'll be back before the night falls," I said and they nodded.
I made my way to my car and drove to Savannah's office, ready to see her again. I was surprised that she easily agreed to come with me to meet the builder.
I reached the office and parked. I walked to the counter and the girl looked up.
"Mr Russo, I'll inform Miss Savannah that you are here." She informed me and I nodded.
I waited patiently for Savannah to show up. There was a lot of girl on the ground floor and I could feel every eye on me. I ignored them and looked outside uninterested. I was only interested in one girl.
"Damien,"
I turned around and saw Savannah. She looked beautiful. Her outfit was simple yet beautiful.
She cleared her throat, clearly noticing me checking her out and I looked up at her.
"A-are you ready to go?" She asked looking down.
"Let's go," I said and she nodded. We walked to my car and I drove to the location Zach put on the GPS.
Like yesterday, the ride was silent. I glanced at her multiple times and she didn't notice as she was looking outside.

We reached our destination and I parked on the side. I stepped out and so did she. We walked inside the building and made our way to the counter. Here also, there was a girl.
"H-hi, how can I help you?" She asked staring at me.
"Is Mr Watson here?" I asked and she nodded her eyes fixed on me. What's her problem?
"We are here to meet him. Where is his office?" Savannah asked, making the girl aware of her presence beside me. The girl turned to her and looked down.
"It's the third room on the second floor. The elevator is this way." She said pointing at my left.
Savannah and I made our way to the elevator and I press the second floor's button. We waited for a few seconds and stepped out.
"What room did she say?" I asked, looking at all the doors here. There was a lot.
"The third one," Savannah answered.
"Well, which one?" I asked as there were doors one both my left side and my right side.
"I don't know. This girl didn't even give us the proper direction." Savannah sighed, "Don't you have his number? Maybe you can call him and ask him."
"I think I have his number," I said and took out my phone. I look in my contact and I was hoping Crawford put the number in my phone. I sighed in relieved when I saw that I do have his number.
"I have it," I said and press call. I put the phone near my ear and waited for him to pick up.
"Hello? How can I help you?" He asked.
"It's Mr Russo. I'm currently in your building, on the second floor and I can't find your office." I stated and waited for him to reply. Instead of replying, the door to our left opened and Mr Watson came out.

"Mr Russo, I was waiting for you." He said and then turned to Savannah.
"Mr Watson." He said putting his hand forward.
"Miss. Ross." Savannah replied shaking his hand.
"Come in, have a seat."
He moved away from the door and both Savannah and I walked in. His office was plain and small. It had a window and a lot of paper on the floor.
"I was actually designing the plan for the orphanage and I made three different models. You can choose one or suggest your own ideas." He explained as he sat down on his leather chair.
"Can we look at the model?" Savannah asked beside me.
"Sure here, I only made three of them." He said handing us some paper. There was a gap between Savannah and I and it was difficult for both of us to look at the same paper as we were far from each other. I dragged the chair closer to Savannah and she handed me one of the plans.
"So this first one is simple. We would rebuild as it is right now. The size of the rooms will remain the same, the only difference would be that the building would be new." He explained and personally I didn't like this one. The rooms were too small for all of them. I glanced at Savannah and by the look on her face, I could tell she doesn't like it as well.
"What about this one," Savannah asked holding the other paper.
"This is the second one. In this model, we would make three big rooms where we can place many single-bed and the children can stay together. The only problem is that the property is quite small, so we will have to make the best of what we have." He explained and I looked at it. I kinda like this one more than the first one.
"So they won't have a backyard to play?" Savannah frowned when Mr Watsons nodded.
"We need a really big space for this one and we will have to eliminate the backyard." He said.
"What about the third one?" I asked.
"The third one is more like the first one. However, we will build a 3-floor building so that there is enough place for them. And the backyard will be there." He added and I looked at Savannah. She looked undecide.
Mr Watsons's phone vibrated and he took it.
"I'm sorry but I need to go downstairs to get a parcel. I'll be back really quick."

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.

Rebirth
Rebirth, the process of being reborn. Why does it happen and who really qualifies. We will seek to look into the these questions by following the life of Richard as we experiences this process first hand. We will follow his life and his fight against the evil blue boxes and what comes with all of them. ------------------------------- Update 04-24-18 Just ran a spelling and grammar check on the existing chapters and corrected a lot of little issues. ------------------------------- Just so you know, do not expect detailed sex scenes, or a lot of gore and such. Profanity is probably a given, I added the tag today....I mean you've seen how the Blue Box God talks....I'm shocked our MC has keep his cool so far. Also just FYI, I've got the entire per chapter outline complete for what will end up being book 1. That being said I've discovered over the years that a good outline lasts until you begin to wrote the chapter out. What that means is that even with a good outline because I tend to rethink thing out 4 or 5 times while I write them that it can hold up a chapter from being released. I'd rather hold up a story to make it flow better than rush something out. So while you might see at times a very aggressive release rate, at times you might wonder what happened to me because I've stopped posting. The reason being that after I wrote the chapter I decided it either sucked, didn't flow right or I just decided the direction things were headed no longer seemed right. So I'll stop, review and decide if I need to rewite all of the outlines to changes things up and then rewrite the chapter, or possibly go back and make changes to older chapters if needed. By the way, if I ever decide something needs to change, I will let you know which chapters changed and I'll give you a quick outline of the changes so you can skip the reread if you want. Yes a lot of this story will be told from the third person prespective, though we will listen to Richard tell his story. Expect a lof of behind the scene components. I've never published here before so expect it to take me a try or 2 to get an understanding of the formatting and such. Also I do not post a schedule. Sorry but real life always comes first but I will try and get things steddy.
