Diego followed the noise to its source outside of the building, it sounded like people were fighting or something close to that. "What...what are you both doing?" Diego asked in shock, coming out to meet two men fighting like children before him. "You two stop that now!!" He ordered that they still Kept on throwing punches at each other. "I said stop that," Diego said before he pushed both men aside. "What the matter with you two, and have you gone completely nuts?!" Diego barked at them. "He started it!" Both men said simultaneously while pointing at each other little kids. They were panting and sweat, dripping from every part of their body but they still wanted to take one more swing at each other. "You fool, you punched me first!!""You animal, why would I punch you first? You're nuts, you're the one who punched me first in the face.""Enough the both of you, I will not stand here and listen to this nonsense, do you hear me," Diego said to them. Running his eyes over them, he
The sun was scorching hot even when it had rained just moments ago. The heat from the sun was causing Andrew to slow down in his pace as he walked. As he continued moving, he kept looking around for any spots where he could hide himself so he could teleport, but there was none. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his palm and dried his palm on his clothes. His legs were giving up under him and he felt he was going to fall to the ground any moment from now. But he couldn't let that happen. Everywhere and every corner that he turned, there were people everywhere. And they all seemed to be staring at him—as if they knew that he would pass out from the heat. "Hey, you there!" A man called out to him, waving his Hand in the air so that Andrew would notice him quickly in the crowd. Andrew wasn't sure if the voice was referring to him so he continued walking. But when the voice kept calling out to him, he had to stop In the streets and turn to see where the voice was coming out fr
I "Understand you completely Mr Patrick but what you're asking for is almost impossible for me to fulfill""Any amount, just name your price, I'm going to make sure that I pay you once the Documents are finalized. " Patrick replied to the lawyer. "Mr Patrick this is not even about money or the documents that I'm going to finalize but what we are getting into. I don't think you realize the depth of this Document. " The lawyer said with furrowed brows. "Of course, I understand; if I did not, why would I ask you to name your prize then? I just need the documents ready by this evening, can you make that possible for me? ""Well, I'll see what I can do, but I'm not making any promises.""Oh no, no, Mr Derek, I need you to promise me that you're going to have the document ready by this evening because I need them first thing tomorrow morning." Patrick pointed out. "All right then you have nothing to worry about. I'll make the documents available this evening. " The lawyer replied. "Just
Andrew kept on following the man without having any idea with the man was leading him to. From the looks of things, it did not seem as though the man was leading him into anything of any sort. "We are almost there, lad." The man finally said after they had walked almost a mile without speaking a word to each other. Andrew was also baffled at how a man this old was able to walk this much and at this speed with so much agility in his blood. After a while, they finally got to what looked like the old man's shop. The man pushed through the glass door and made his way in before he signaled to Andrew to also follow suit. Andrew did Simon when he was already inside the shop he found a chair waiting for him already. "Please have a seat while I get you something to drink." The old man gestured towards the chair. Andrew looked at the chair first before he finally sat down on it slowly While running his eyes through the shop. "Thank you, please just get me water," Andrew said to the man.
Lisa fumed as she paced the floors impatiently. It was hard for her to believe that Andrew had just walked out on her without answering any of his questions. Rage, frustration, and anxiety all gnawed at her insides. What exactly was happening right under her nose that she was not aware of until now? "Despite my pleadings, I can't believe that he still had the nerve to leave this house and even take my daughter along with him," Lisa said out loud; she was almost on the verge of tears. "How could he be so nonchalant about his own life? He doesn't even consider how I will feel if he gets hurt again!!" She added. When her legs finally Grew tired she sank into one of the chairs and began tapping her feet on the floor incessantly. And what was this that she had just heard from her daughter that she was taken by some unknown men? She was too distressed to stay in one place. She wanted to get up and resume pacing the floors, but her legs were too tired to correspond with her wants since
"There is no need for you to get agitated now, Andrew, so please sit back down,n," The old man said to Andrew. "Which hospital are they in, tell me so I can get going now!!" Andrew yelled out. "Take it easy, son; if you do not calm down, I'm afraid I'm not going to tell you where the hospital is located because you cannot go in this condition," The old man informed him Sternly. "Okay, okay, I'm calm now," Andrew said as he closed his eyes and took in several deep breaths. "See, I'm more calm now. So, can you tell me where the hospital is, please? I need to leave as soon as possible," Andrew said impatiently. "Of course, I'm going to tell you where the hospital is, or would you rather have me take you to the hospital instead?"And with that for a few moments before I replied: "yes I think that will be better" "So can you take me to the hospital now?" "Yes, I can, but let me go out and get the cat face because we cannot take the road by foot." The old man said and walked out of t
It was already the fourth day since Patrick had received that text, And surprisingly, he had not received any more text, not even a reminder that his time was almost up And that only made Patrick grow more agitated as minutes passed by. The lawyer had kept to his words and delivered the documents to him the previous evening, so the only thing that he had to do now was to deliver the documents to Reginald and then he would take him to Andrew. Patrick could only hope that Reginald would keep to his part of the deal. He took out his phone and dialed Reginald's number. As usual, Reginald would not pick up immediately after he saw the call, even if he had this phone in hand. "Just pick up your damn call you bastard!" Patrick fumed as he placed the phone to his ear but Reginald was not picking up the phone. Patrick was angry over the fact that Reginald was getting his way, and he had made Patrick run around just for him to fulfill all his demands. As Patrick clutched the documents in o
Patrick's heart pounded in his chest as they made their way down to the garage. "We are going to take my car so that I can drive us down to where Mr. Genius is," Reginald said to Patrick when he saw him going toward his car. "Okay then, let's go," Patrick said to Reginald as he made his way toward Reginald's car. They got into the car and Reginald drove out of the office compound. It's going to take us about one hour to get to the place."I don't care how long it's going to take us to get to the place let's just get moving!" Particular letters with irritation without meeting Reginald's gaze. "Okay, I'll keep my mouth shut.""That would do me a whole lot of good If you agree to keep your mouth shut throughout this trip." Patrick let out as much Irritation as he could muster in one tone. They drove until they got to a building that looked like a mansion. "Is this where Mr genius is?" Patrick's jaw hung down in surprise. "Yes, I suppose you know who Diego is!"Reginald asked him
The gates to the dungeon were opened up immediately, and Diego made his way into the dungeon, the man trailing behind him. "I have no idea how you got out of the dungeon, but get prepared to meet your end!" Diego said as a smile played across his face. Andrew struggled to get up from the floor but fell back onto the floor, his knees giving up under him. Blood was sprawling from every part of his face; some got into his eyes, blinding him from seeing who was in front of him. "You!" Andrew pointed wearily at Diego, "I'm so.... going to...kill you!" Diego let out a dangerous laugh that only lasted for a brief moment. "I'd like to see you try!" Diego let out in mockery and stretched forth his hand at Andrew. All of a sudden, Andrew felt himself being lifted off the floor by a strange force. "Now I'm going to show you the true taste of power!" Diego said with a smirk on his face. Andrew was already feet above the floor. He was flaring his arms and legs in the air, shouting at the t
—Get ready for your ultimate task, master— Valkyron's electronic voice boomed; this time, itsscreen was not hovering in front of Andrew and emanating a blue light as usual.. Instead it was iitsovoicethat was resounding from every angle. "What do you mean, Valkyron ,and how....how did i get here?"Andrew asked as he turned around, trying to make out where he was. This did not look like any of the rooms in Andrew's mansion; it looked more like he was in a desert, and he wondered how he had gotten there. He could hear multiple voices around him as if he was standing in front of a crowd that was waiting for him to perform, but he couldn't see anyone around him even when he looked into the distance. He tried to pinch himself to be sure that this was not a dream—it wasn't. —Focus, master. Now that your parents are awake, you have unlocked the second phase of your mission, which begins now, the ultimate test that you're about to face will determine if you're worthy of your powers and all
A few weeks later, Andrew's parents were well enough to be discharged from the hospital, and Andrew could not have been more glad. He threw a party on their return—the party only included himself, his parents, his immediate family, the house workers, and Pa Jones. Since he had not yet revealed himself to the others; his friends, and office workers about his return, no one esle had been invited to the party. Andrew felt his life was complete again; he was almost the richest man in the country, and his parents, who he thought had died, were alive and well. It was a swell moment for him. Lisa was the one who was growing increasingly worried that Andrew was now staying back from the office and avoiding contact with everyone else. Poor Patrick had been to the house several times to check up on her. Lisa couldn't tell why, but Andrew had instructed that she should not let him know that Andrew had returned, and each time Patrick left the house with a sad look on his face, she would ask A
Andrew had failed to recover his car from the ice cream shop. He Would have taken up the issue concerning his stolen car, but the car was the least of his problems now, and he had all the money to replace the car he needed. He was more concerned for his parents' health than anything else. He was glad that Lisa had patiently listened to him when he took his time to explain That people were onto him, And they would stop at nothing to make sure that, they saw Andrew suffer, and she had to be grateful that he had found their daughter and rescued her just in time before those men got away. He hadn't given her the full details of the story, just the necessary parts, and debunked every other thing that Dora had said. When Lisa confronted him about what Dora had said about him having superpowers, he laughed about it, making the laugh so real, and deep down, he was only passing time and thinking of what to say that would sound convincing enough. "Would you believe that?!" Andrew said after
Emilia ran her eyes over both men before she responded. "Yes, Diego is in, and do you wish to see him?!" Emilia asked back. "No, no, I do not want to see Diego; I was just making sure.""Okay but who are you two?!" Emilia asked them with question gazes. "Um, my name is Reginald, and I know that I can confide in you, Emilia. So please tell me, Is Mr Genius here?!"Emilia continued to stare at both of them for a while before she responded. "I don't think there's anyone that bears that name in this place. " She said plainly. "Is there anyone who bears Mr Andrew here?!" Reginald asked, rephrasing his sentence. Emilia tried to hide the look that she had made when Reginald mentioned Andrew's name. "No, there's no one that bears that name here either!" She said promptly and tried to dismiss both of them. "I think you too should leave now or haven't I answered all your questions?!""Please do not raise your voice, Emelia!" Reginald pleaded as he looked around, hoping that they would no
Andrew was already making arrangements to get his parents moved to a better hospital that was just a minute's drive away from his house, and in no time, parents had been transferred, all thanks to Pa Jones help, who had assisted in filling out all the paperwork that was necessary for making the transfer. Andrew had made sure that he had sorted out all the hospital bills where his parents had been and thanked them heartily before leaving. It was not until dusk when his parents had been settled into the new hospital before Andrew remembered that he had not yet retrieved his car from the ice cream shop. "Darn it! How can I be this forgetful these days?" Andrew lamented to himself. He knew going back to get the car would be a lost cause because already the car would have been stolen because he had kept the key to the car carelessly for any lucky thief to find. "What's the matter young chap?" Pa Jones, who had noticed the change in Andrew, could not help himself but ask. "My car. I w
"This way, we have to hide before anyone sees us!" Reginald said, searching for a Place that they could both hide. Rolling out of the building was not an option now As they were a long distance away from the door. "I thought you said that only the front passage is used for entry and exit, so why is it that someone is coming now that we are making our way in?" Patrick asked angrily. "There's no time to ask silly questions but just follow me so that we can hide from whoever is coming!" Reginald held back from yelling at Patrick. Patrick gritted his teeth in anger but had no other choice than to follow Reginald into hiding. They found the perfect spot behind one of the doors that they could hide from whoever was approaching. Reginald crossed his fingers and shot his eyes tightly as he prayed that Diego was not the one approaching the passageway Because if it was, it would not take a minute or two for Diego to sniff out strangers in his building. Patrick was about to say something w
"Look, the reason why I do not want to go in there is because I'm not on good terms with Diego." Reginald tried to explain to Patrick that every other thing that he had said to make Patrick give the document back to him had fallen by the side of Patrick's ears. "That's a lie, Reginald, and I am not going to fall for your lies anymore.""Believe me, and it would not even make sense if I should just go to the door, knock on me,t, and ask Diego to release Mr genius; it doesn't work that way,,y does it?!" Reginald asked Rhetorically. "That is why we are going to break him out, and I am not giving these documents back to you unless you help me!" Patrick affirmed. "Shit!" Reginald cursed under his breath. "This was not part of the agreement, boss.""Well, it is now!" Patrick stated. "Now come on let's go. How do we get in without being spotted by anyone especially not by Diego?""That's not any of my business, bosses. Now. Give me back the document and let me be on my way; I told you to
Andrew didn't realize how much he hated Hospitals until he walked into the place. "Man, this place reeks, is this really where my parents were Kept?!" Andrew asked the old man in displeasure. "Yes, this is the place, and why are you holding onto your nostrils like that, lad?" The old man asked when he looked up and noticed Andrew's fingers were still clenched onto his nose tightly. "I do not like the smell of this place" Andrew replied him. "Well, you better start getting used to it because we're going to be in here for a while." The old man informed him. Andrew suddenly stopped in his tracks as if remembering something. The old man noticed this and turned around to meet Andrew's gaze. "What's the matter, lad? You're tired already?!" "No, I'm not tired; I just have this weird feeling...I can't wait to see my parents.....""Well, that's where we are headed for now. We're almost there, we're just three rooms away. " The old man informed Andrew, pointing toward what seemed to be t
