Tisane ran like he had never run before. He felt his heartbeat accelerating with every step he took. ~Kpuu~ "Hey watch where you going!" Tisane dashed past several cars even to the point of almost getting knocked down. He knew he was being reckless, but he just had to get to the NPLC and explain why he didn't report for work for the past two weeks. Two weeks! What was he going to say? That he fell sick? He was involved in an accident? He forgot? He lost track of time? ~Sigh~ He remembered the words of Mr Fadeyemi as he met him in his luxurious suite. ~Don't disappoint me boy~ He couldn't believe that was two weeks ago! How would Mr Fadeyemi feel when he steps into his office? Raising up his head, he saw the NPLC majestic skyscraper just up ahead. On seeing the security guards at the front door, Tisane knew that visiting hours were over. "Stop!" A security guard stretched forth his hand, to make a stop sign as Tisane came towards the office
As Tisane dashed past the door, he had the sensation of being on a rollercoaster. He tried to steady himself when a worker came across his path, but it was too late... ~Crash!~ Tisane ran full speed into a man in suit and tie carrying a carton full of files. The sudden collision drew the attention of almost everyone on the first floor of the office. "Whoa!" "Did you see that?" "Is he drunk?" Everyone stopped what they were doing to observe the unexpected break of orderliness. "Hey man what the hell is wrong with you!" The worker that was knocked down became embarrassed and angry. "Am sorry, am sorry, am sorry" Tisane was scared shitless at what just happened. Trying to help the man get up..... "Hey you!" The security guard from before rushed into the building and seeing the scene before him, became more convinced that Tisane was up to no good. Tisane's fear doubled as he saw the wrathful eyes of the security guard. "Stop right there!" The securi
Tisane glanced across the elevator room urgently. Four men stared at him with fiery eyes. Tisane's mind began to race as to how he would get himself out of this bind. 'This is more troublesome than being chased by security guards' Tisane thought. As the seconds were ticking down, Tisane saw one of the men grab him by the collar and pushed him to the elevator wall. "What are you? Some criminal?" The man interrogated as he held Tisane firmly. Tisane desperately struggled against the man's tight grip but to no avail. "Hold him down. When we get to the third floor, we will hand him over to the security" the second man said. On hearing this, Tisane knew that he had to get out of this situation or he would be done for. But how will he escape out of this? By begging them? "Please you don't understand" Tisane began. "I didn't do anything wrong. I just want to see the CEO!" "What CEO?" "Who do you think you are to see the CEO?" "Tell that to the authorities kid"
Tisane dashed left without hesitation as he tried to run out of the office hall. He knew that trying to use the elevator at the office would be futile because the security guards were too close and would intercept him. "Hey stop right there!" At this point the security guards sprang into action as they tried to surround him. Tisane knew that if he was caught at this point, it would all be over. So with that thought in mind, he placed all his will and energy at escaping."Stop him!" The office was filled with commotion as the security guards tried to get their hands on the Intruder. Some of the workers even decided to lend a helping hand to stop the intruder. Tisane saw two office workers trying to bar his way. Narrowing his eyes, Tisane felt irritable annoyance well up inside him, most especially when he noticed that one of the workers trying to bar his way was the guy who stopped him from entering the elevator earlier. 'Not gonna work this time prick' Tisane suddenly leaped on a
Tisane jumped as he tried to push open the compartment on the elevator ceiling but he was not finding it easy.'That won't work silly. Take that fire extinguisher and smash it open'Tisane glanced at the elevator wall where the lady was resting and staring at him with obvious fear still evident on her face. A fire extinguisher was displayed in a glass compartment fixed to the wall.Tisane pulled out the fire extinguisher and held it upside down as he jumped and swung it at the square shaped compartment in the elevator ceiling.Bang!The first hit seemed to make no effect.'Again' the thought urged.Bang!The second hit made the compartment vibrate.'Again'The third hit seemed to shift the compartment a little.'Again'At the fourth hit, the compartment opened greatly to reveal a very long narrow space stretching upwards.'Good. Now go through that and you'll be on your way' the thought urged again. Tisane dropped the fire extinguisher and jumped to grab a hold on the open compartme
'Keep going kid. You're almost there'"20, 21, 22, 2----"'What are you doing?''Counting the floors I've passed''Why. What's the point in that?''Well just to know the number of floors altogether''I just told you, there are 25 floors altogether''Well..... there's no harm in been sure''......'Some time later.....'There, that's the last door'Tisane arrived at an elevator door which was located at top of the tunnel which had extended into a roof made of transparent glass.'Okay how do I open the door?' Tisane asked after pushing and trying to pry open the door with his hands.'Jump on one of those ropes and face the door''Why?''Just do it'Tisane obeyed as he hopped and grabbed one of the four huge metal rods as he stared at the elevator door.'Ok what now?''Just stare at the door and don't blink''Don't blink?' Tisane had a confused look on his face.'Yes don't blink. Trust me'After a minute, Tisane's eyes were beginning to become itchy.'Hey inner voice how long should I ke
'So you're saying I should fight them?' Tisane asked.'Of course. Because from the way I see it, they won't just stand aside and let you walk into the CEO office. Though I'll admit if you had met these guys before today, they would have torn you to pieces''What?!' Tisane's eyes widened. 'They are that strong?''Yep. I told you before. They are not your average humans''What do you mean by that? What are they? Aliens?''No. Mutants''What...mutants....like super powered humans?''You can put it like that''Woah...they actually exist?!''What do you think? The universe is big kid. There are a lot of things you can never imagine that exist''So if they are so powerful, how do you think I can beat them?' Tisane asked incredulously.'Hello! Wake up dumbo. Do you think you actually got here because you're normal?''Wait' Tisane felt like he was on a rollercoaster ride. 'You mean I actually have powers too?!''Focus kid. Now is not the time to be on cloud nine. All you have to know right no
"How dare you?!" Sabrina roared with murderous intent."That's it kid. You asked for it!" Jerry started walking towards Tisane as he eyes spat out rage."No" Sabrina stopped Jerry's advance as she herself walked towards Tisane. "Leave him to me. When am through with him, he's gonna wish he was dead"Tisane felt his heart beat accelerate as he braced himself for a tough fight.'This is it kid. Don't hold back!' The voice reminded him immediately.Sabrina walked few steps in front of Tisane as she threw her right hand with an intent to slap him.Tisane saw the hand coming as he quickly caught it.'What?' Sabrina widened her eyes for a moment, until she became infuriated."You still dare?!" She threw her left hand with an intent to punch Tisane.Tisane saw the punch coming as he quickly caught it with his palm. All this while, Tisane was on full alert and watching out for Sabrina's weapon."Argh!" Sabrina was not yet done as she threw her right leg at him. But this time Tisane reacted fa
