It had been a couple of days. The location of Jordan and Dr. Varnie was unknown. AGENT had no info on his or Jordan’s location. Throughout the days, Dr, Varnie had left a bombshell. It seems that he had told the government of Germany that we were terrorists who destroyed his facility. Since then, Charlie and I have had to stay in hiding, waiting for information from AGENT HQ. We spent most of the time in the poorer areas of Munich, the car parked in an alley. The alley was smelly and had a dumpster and some bags on the floor. It was pretty empty. My eye was getting better. I had cleaned the blood and a huge scar had been left there. I walked around with an eye patch on for the eye.

“I don’t want to be useless.”

That was something I had said after we went into hiding. After letting my eye be slashed and Jordan to be taken away where he could be killed at any moment was the worst regret I have had. Charlie supported me in this idea and trained my combat skills so that if in a situation of conflict, I wouldn’t be sitting on the sidelines. I was sitting in an alley trying to figure the eye out. I held it in my hand and took one of the tools out and started to fix some things in the eye. I spent days and it was when Charlie came over with some food. He was covered in come baggy beige clothing to conceal his identity. It was that moment when he came that I had come up with the right formula after trying to fix the eye my family made separately from Varnie. When I fixed it, I opened my eye socket and placed it inside. I looked at Charlie.

“You put it inside?” He says bring some fish and chips. I stared at him with the green tech eye

“Yeah.” I said. “I came up with a name. The Ghost Eye.”

“What can it do?” he said, putting the bag of chips inside of the car as we sat inside and ate.

“I’ve connected it to my brain so I can have faster reflexes, but my eye has a power not present in Varnie’s. It bestows me with the ability of permeation.”

“You’ve lost me.”

“It allows me to become a ghost and unbecome a ghost at will.” I said stubbornly. I walked through the car and walked back through as I sat down in the car. I looked at my bag and noticed the trenchcoat. We ate and then I took the trenchcoat and with some dye I found, dyed it grey. I put it on and I felt a confidence boost.

“You look good,” he says.

“Thanks.” I replied. “Charlie.”

“Yeah?” he asks.

“I want to spar you. One more time.”

He takes the rags off and faces me with his shades.

“Let’s go.” he says. He puts out his fists and attempts to punch me as the punch just phases through my body. I slip back and kick him as he blocks with his left hand. He steps back and jumps forward and aims a kick at me as he passes through me and I kick him into the trash can. He gets up.

“Not bad kid,” he says. Charlie gets up again and runs towards me. This time, he runs around and I watch his movements with my eye. The eye had other abilities. It also had an AI that gave me information on a select amount of people. I added that on to make something that could make me strong. He ran from multiple directions before coming towards me for an attack in close range. He aimed a punch and I blocked his punch as the two of us fought back and forth with fists and legs as his attack finally passed through me again and I grabbed him by the neck and pin him down.

“That is one amazing ability.” says Charlie as he gets up. “What are you planning to do with it?”

“Save Jordan and kill Dr. Varnie.” I said. “My parents deserve to have their soul rest in peace and they won’t have it until the man that called them useless, stole their designs, treated them like slaves and killed them, is dead.”

“I see.” says Charlie. “Revenge is a powerful thing. It can lead you to do things that wouldn’t be imaginable. Revenge can also be a mindset that attacks you back.”

I stood there in silence.

“Remember,” he says. “This was a mission to get information on Phantom.”

“It’s not anymore Charlie. Phantom will be stopped, if I kill that man.” I said. “Tell Bellstrom that I am going after him and going to save Jordan.”

“Alright.” he says. “I will help and ask Bellstrom for the mission change and if they have the whereabouts of Varnie and Phantom’s location.”

Charlie and I sat inside of the car and Charlie loaded up his phone. He called Bellstrom. Bellstrom picked up the phone.

“Hello,” he says. “Charlie.”

“Hello.” Charlie replied. “Do you know where Dr. Varnie is?”

“I actually do,” he said. “He was spotted in Hamburg in Germany. A quick train ride can bring you to the Varnie Tech office there.”

“That’s great.” I said.

“Eric. How are you doing?” Bellstrom asks.

“I’m fine.”

“I’ll get train tickets for you two to download and you two can board the train. Make sure to hide your identities. Dr. Varnie has turned the entirety of Germany against you three.” says Bellstrom.

“Thank you so much sir.” I replied.

With that. Charlie abandoned his car and we went to get disguises to hide our identities. We then headed for the Munich Train station where we boarded a train to Hamburg.The train ride is a hefty 7 hour long ride and I, not once, lost sight of my goal in the wait. My goal was to kill Dr. Varnie and save Jordan.
