Chapter One Continued

By the time we got home it was late and we decided to call it a night and get some rest.

When I woke the next morning I decided to start analyzing the security footage and the photo that I had freeze framed. So I went to the workshop and got to work on it. After I cleared the photo up a bit to get a better view of the faces I had the computer run the facial recognition program on it. As I waited for the program to run I  went over the video footage to see if their was anything else that was out of place.

As the video footage ran I noticed that the two men were able to stay in the shadows away from the cameras. I was also able to go back a few hours before our arrival and noticed that they had already been there. The footage showed the two men trying to get into the car, but with the security system we had installed into the car they were not successful. With the men staying in the shadows away from the cameras it looked like the photo that I had freeze framed was the only usable one.

By the time I was done analyzing the video footage, the facial recognition program had finished running and it had found a match for both men. So I called Renee and David to the workshop to let them know what the program had found.

“The facial recognition program found a match to the two men. Their names are John Conner and Lee Garrett. They are part of an organization known as The Justice.  These two men are the organizations top security. They are the ones that go out and find people with similar or the same abilities as ours and try to recruit them or con them into joining The Justice.”

“It looks as though the group is made up of mostly ex-military with some intelligence officers, and people who do not like our government.”

“Yes, and that is probably why they are trying to come after Ian and myself, to use our abilities and intelligence to go up against our own government and military.”

“Ian and Renee, I have been doing some back ground checks on these men and have traced them back to the leader of the organization. His name is Jack Conner, he is the older brother of John Conner and goes by the nickname “Con.” He has a background in military and some intelligence, not much, but enough to be dangerous and start this organization.”

As David was looking further into John Conner and his past I was looking more into The Justice. I found that they had a very good weapon and ammunition arsenal. It also appears that their security and intelligence is very new and up to date, and I believe that is how they found my sister and I. 

Renee was looking more into the financial situation of the organization. She found that they are very well funded by The Justice leader himself.  He is currently the president and CEO of a successful multimillion dollar financial company that he started called Conner Financial.

By the time we had looked into the company and John Conner a couple of hours had passed and it was nine o’clock so we went into the house to have breakfast.  Our mom and Dad, Louise and Anthony Parker, where just finishing up cooking.

As we sat down we prayed and started eating.  While we ate mom and dad ask about what we had found out about the two men from the previous day.  As we informed them of the information we had gathered so far I could see a look of concern on our mother’s face, as she was always one to worry.

“Do not worry mom, David, Renee, and I have some sources that we are going to dig into as we go to help us out. So we will be as cautious as we can, even more so now that this organization has us in their sites.”

We finished the rest of our breakfast talking about the upcoming graduation that my sister and I had in a couple of months.  Renee and I were 18 and seniors in high school and going to be turning 19 right after graduation. 

After we got done with breakfast we decided to go back to the workshop and finish researching The Justice and its leaders. We spent about another couple of hours gathering as much information as we could. By the end of the two hours the security alarm started to go off on the monitors. 

David was watching the security monitors when the alarms started going off.

Chapter One

It was just before noon on Saturday and I was out in my workshop working on a new project when the door suddenly flew open and my brother David came rushing in.

"Ian, we've got company coming and they are about 2 miles out."

"Yea  they popped up on the security screens and we have been watching them for about 5 minutes now."

"Renee, I think it is time to let them know what it is really like when they try to come after us and our family."

8 months earlier...
My family and I were returning home from our annual spring trip to Minnesota and I was sitting quietly with my eyes closed as the plane landed smoothly on the runway and taxied to the terminal.  We were seated at the back of the plane and had to wait for the other passengers to deplane.

As we sat waiting, my twin sister Renee and I were talking.  Over the years my sister and I had developed a way of communicating not only by talking but could see in each others eyes what the other one was thinking. We were sitting there talking when all of a sudden we both grew silent. There was change in the air and we could both feel it.

Renee and I, along with our parents, found out at a young age  that we were not the "normal" neighborhood kid.  We found that we had what seemed to be unnatural strength, speed, agility, and intelligence that surpassed most. When something wasn't right or either one of us was in trouble we  were able to sense it before it happened.  And today was one of those days.

 I looked at Renee and said "Something is different and I have a feeling it is not going to be good."

"I know, Ian, I can feel it too."

By this time we were walking through the airport to the baggage claim area.  As we walked Renee and I kept an eye out for anything we found to be out of the ordinary.  Over the years we had made ourselves into the protecters of the family, and they had become very protective of us as well. They had become more protective ever since David had gone into the Marines, keeping our intelligence and abilities a low profile as much as possible.  We got the usual looks and stares, but nothing here in the airport seemed to be out of the norm.

 When we got to the baggage claim area Renee and I went to get the car.  As we got closer the alarms we had programmed into our phones to let us know when someone tried to tamper with the car started to go off.  So we stopped and turned the cameras on our phones on and scanned the area around the car.  As we scanned the area we noticed what looked to be shadows of a couple of people hidden by a vehicle about five cars down from where ours was parked.

"Looks like someone has caught on to what we do and who we are, because it looks like we have some company waiting on us."

"I see them too, Ian. Looks like we will have to get the other car. I scanned the area around that one and it looks like nobody has found it."

"I am scanning it as well and it looks to be secure.  We will just have to be careful and make sure they do not follow us to the other car."

We were able to keep an eye on them and made it to the car without them seeing where we had gone.
While I was driving the car back to the baggage claim area to pick up the others, Renee informed them of the switch and they were waiting for us when we got there.

Once we had all the luggage in and everybody was in the car my dad took over driving so we could keep a better eye out for whoever it was waiting for us. As we were driving past the last parking garage entrance we noticed that there were two people standing just inside looking out and watching us as we went by. I was watching them on the security screen on my laptop, that I was now using, and it  looked as though they were trying to take a photo or video of us as we went by and so I freeze framed a shot of them so that we could analyze it when we got home.

"It seems as though we were right about our senses, Renee."

"Yea and it looks as though they are trying to follow us. We had better be on our guard more than in the past."
