The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and sixty seven: Trapped
Andy felt his heart racing as he placed his palm on his chest then looked forward. “Okay, if I am going to help you out then I’ll have to think like you. Even if it makes me sound crazy,”He chuckled. “I can’t believe I am about to say this,” he whispered then turned to Thomas. “What mission were you given to complete before the end of twenty four hours?” “Back there I was called the last runner and I was meant to finish a race in this dimension by finding a key but the thing is that I don’t know where to start,” Thomas answered frantically.Hearing him Andy lingered for a while. “One more question. What were you asked to do with this key, when you find it?” “They said I have to protect it,”“Oh my goodness, it’s a person,” “What!” Thomas exclaimed.“The key is a person. I sound crazy but I’ve watched many science fiction movies and anytime they talk about a key then it has to do with a person,” Andy tried to be plain but Thomas wasn’t buying the idea.“I don’t think what is happeni
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and sixty eight: on the doorpost of a hater
The rest of the ride was spent in silence and when they arrived in a crime lab they ran the DNA test on the object and it appeared to be an unfamiliar young man who was Twenty eight years of age and has an interesting biography.The details showed that he had been vindicated for committing several crimes and has spent some good years in jail. It also appeared to be that he was in alliance with some scientist. Thomas got more interested in the man’s files when he figured out that he had something to do with science.“Barthel Coyle,” He voiced the man’s name then turned to one of the Forensic scientists. “I need a photo of this man and the DNA printout of the test,”“Sure,” the scientist said, then left to bring him all that he requested. When Thomas and Andy took the packaged file, they left the lab. Now they know what the person they were after looks like all that they needed now was to track down his location.“This city is a large one, so how do you think we will be able to track hi

“Such an interesting drama,” Dorian chuckled and staring at their faces he laughed out more vehemently.Greatly pissed Thomas turned to Andy. “This is what I was talking about but you wouldn’t listen,”“Just leave this to me,” Andy said then turned to Dorian who still laughing brought out his phone and standing upright started a live video.“Well… everyone, look who it is, the famous Thomas Celso and his sidekick Andy. They are standing at my doorstep as early as this so that I can grant them a favour. Can you believe that,” he mocked.Thomas frowned, bowing his face to the floor as he rubbed his thumb on his forehead. He knew that Dorian hated him but he also knows that the last football match he had played with Dorian before he was struck down by lightning must have amplified the hatred Dorian had for him and this must be his medium for payback.“So tell us, Thomas Celso. What do you want me your hero, the great and mighty Dorian do for you,” Andy said, still having his face cluster

The question came so unexpectedly that even Andy was shocked. He couldn’t get himself to figure out what Thomas was trying to do.“Even if you hate me this much, why will you put it on my family? Think about my little sister, Ashley is too young for these kinds of things…”“I don’t hate you, Thomas. Why on earth will I do that?” Dorian said.“Then what is this for?” Thomas asked.“I would have loved to help you but the truth is that I am a teenager and I am scared,” Dorian said as Thomas and Andy looked at him in uncertainty.“You are dealing with scientists. What if they find out through their advanced technology that I helped you to find them,” Dorian explained further then looked at Andy. “Does Andy even know the amount of risk he is taking? If I help you with this then when these people finds out they won’t come for your family alone, they will also come for my family,” Now it all made sense to Thomas. This was not about hatred or competition rather it was all about fear.“I get h

“Do you have it?” Xander said to Barthel.“Yes,” Barthel replied. He brought out a little spherical shaped hardware as he handed it over to Xander. When Thomas saw the hardware he suspected that it was the key he was asked to find so from that moment he began to think of ways to get the hardware from them.He recorded their conversation on his android phone and when he realized that they were about to leave he snuck out of the cabin, retracing his steps back to Andy.“Did you get anything?” Andy asked as soon as Thomas entered the car.“Yes, I did. I will explain everything to you later on but for now there has been a change of plan,” Thomas replied.“This was our plan, we never had another plan,” Andy told him and immediately after his comment Thomas glanced at him.“I just realized that I know more about this than I think. Please don’t ask me how, all you have to do is be on the same page with me,” Thomas replied.“Okay, so what will you have me do?”“Barthel is working for my father
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and seventy two: The intension
Thomas knew what was at stake. His family and the world will be destroyed if he doesn’t leave quickly. His eyes were filled with regret. He should not have come here in the first place.‘I should have avoided this place like a plague,’ he thought to himself.“Thomas, what are your plans? How are we going to leave this place?” Andy asked but without giving him a response Thomas strolled to a corner gently sitting on the floor.“Thomas,” Andy called one more time.“There is nothing we can do, it’s over, they win,” he answered weakly with his face bowed to the floor. Andy tried to get Thomas back on his feet but no matter how many reasons he gave, Thomas wasn’t paying attention. He could not get his mind off the problems that were set before him. He has only twenty four hours to stop the apocalypse and save his family. “Fine, since you are determined to give up, I guess we'll just sit here until he hears the cries of disaster,” Andy said. He hoped Thomas would reconsider but when there
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and seventy three: Frustration
When Xander saw the pain written in Thomas’s eyes he opened up but this time he explained in a serious face. “Like I said earlier, your father was part of us. We made the plans together but when the work was in progress we realized that his daughter being your sister has a special blood. Her blood was so rare that it was the only blood that could unlock a door to my great army. When your father found out about this he was unwilling to make the sacrifices so we decided to engage forcefully…”Thomas was filled with rage as he watched Xander speak without any emotion or piety. How can someone be so cruel? Thomas wondered. He tried as much as possible to be in his best behaviour in order not to lose his temper.“Right now your sister is with us and your parents are inside an underground in the desert. When I am done with you, I’ll have to leave to our site. I must wait there until the moon comes up,” he hesitated then checked the time. “We will commence the experiment as soon as it strikes

Thomas nodded in agreement and Andy moved back to the door. Sticking the penknife into the keyhole he continued his attempt to open the door.It took about two minutes before Andy successfully unlocked the door and they both hastened out of the room."How much time do we have left?" Andy asked.Thomas checked and looked forward again he said. "Two hours and thirty minutes,"When they arrived at the gate outside the house they realized that it was locked. It was a dead end."What do we do now? and please don't tell me that you are rooting on me to unlock the gate too," Andy said to Thomas who wagged his head slightly.Thomas looked around and at the fence towards his left. "We will have to go over the fence," He suggested.Andy examined the fence, the sight of its height scared him. He shook his head in disagreement and when he turned to express his disapproval to Thomas he saw him on a run back into the building."Thomas," He called in a whisper then ran after him.When Thomas walked i
