Just felt like wearing it.’’Carlos nodded. ‘’You’re not in school?’’‘’Spring Break just started.’’‘’Mhmm,’’ Carlos muttered, reaching for a cigar.‘’Dad,’’ Diego said, looking up at him. ‘’Why have you forbidden me from doing anything about that piece of trash Alex?’’‘’Hmm,’’ Carlos adjusted his sitting position to look more directly at Diego.He paused for a moment

Luz said to Alex, handing him a towel. ‘’You’re drenched.’’Alex wiped his hair with the towel and nodded. ‘’Guess I managed to make it.’’Luz hugged him in excitement, kissing him on the forehead.‘’You’re now an elemental?’’Alex nodded, smiling.‘’Sorcerer,’’ Cetzel called out. ‘’The Guardians aren’t done with him yet.’’‘’Sorry my lord,’’ he apologized.‘’Son of Kulkantzi,’’ he turned to Alex. ‘’There are ominous signs ahead, as the day of the final battle approaches.’’‘’You have to be prepared for just about anything,’’ Yum Balam intoned.‘’I understand that now my guardians,’’ Alex looked at him thoughtfully.‘’This Kimil,’’ he asked. ‘’Why hasn’t he invaded Earth yet?’’‘’Hmm,’’ Yum Chak shook his head.‘’He’s chained to the underworld which limits his powers of direct intervention.

Alex sank into the sofa, the phone still positioned on his ear. ‘’Go on. I’m all ears.’’‘’You’re gonna steal something for us.’’‘’Steal? Maybe you got the wrong person.’’ Alex’s voice rose. ‘’I’m no thief.’’‘’We know about your sorcerer friend and the magic tricks with the dinosaur. This is real life, Alex. No magic is going to save her.’’Alex paused for a moment, then spoke. ‘’What do you want me to get?’’‘’You’ll steal a suitcase of diamonds from the city metropolitan bank. No tricks.’’Alex covered the mouthpiece for a moment and whispered to Luz. ‘’They want me to steal from a bank.’’Luz had a surprised look on his face as Alex resumed the conversation.‘’So, assuming I retrieve the diamonds, how will you get it?’’‘’Meet us at the old meat factory at 9 Alamao Close.’’‘’When?’’‘’Seven p.m. And come alone.’’‘’Wait!

All of a sudden, the lights were switched on.

One of them clapped her hands and a thick smoke covered the room.‘’Kill!’’ screamed Kostas as he retreated with the women.All of a sudden, sounds of guns blazed through the air.

Diego turned in shock. The 25-millimetre bullet had exited from the brain, and the wound was beginning to heal. All vital signs began to improve, as the cop started moving his hands and legs. ‘’I must notify the doctors,’’ Alex thought. But he was interrupted by the turning door knob.Realizing that someone was about to enter the room, he quickly teleported.‘’How did it go?’’ Luz asked anxiously as Alex emerged from the bathroom.Alex nodded his head, smiling.

‘’Mama,’’ Alex called out, strolling from his room. ‘’What’s wrong?’’A startled Isabella put down the letter and adjusted her sitting position.Coming closer to her, Alex asked: ‘’Anything the matter?

I had just discovered that I was a few weeks pregnant.’’‘’He had ju

The gas spread quickly around the enclosed basement chamber. Serena was coughing seriously and her eyes were in severe pain.Alex also felt himself choking as the gas filled his airways. He attempted teleporting but failed, as he needed full concentration to do that. ‘’I’m suffocating. Where are you, Alex?’’ Serena screamed in panic, as she coughed more violently.The smoke got thicker and Alex tried to run up the stairs but changed his mind. He decided to help Serena instead.‘’Serena!’’ he called out. Silence.‘’Where are you Serena?’’ he coughed as he groped blindly in an attempt to reach her.By now he was delirious. His vision had blurred and he felt himself getting weaker.‘’Whoever did this,’’ he thought. ‘’Wants us dead.’’‘’But not today!’’ Alex screamed as he searched, the pain in his eyes, nose and throat getting excruciatingly worse.All of a sudden, he found her.
