Nevada, America The day’s activities were going pretty smooth, the guests were eating and chatting, Arnold was in the kitchen with the other chefs, he was arranging some ceramic plates into a small steel cupboard. The TV in the kitchen suddenly switched to breaking news “There has been a terrorist attack on Chimney street, Carson city, the capital city of the state of Nevada, over 100 persons have been held hostage in Lori Carson museum, the purpose of kidnap is yet to be known and so far no one has been hurt” the Newscaster reported; everyone in the kitchen began to panick because the restaurant was just few blocks away from the reported museum. Then suddenly they all heard voices coming from inside the restaurant and soon SWAT team busted into the kitchen department and startling most of them “Everybody out now” a SWAT officer yelled out and they obeyed and began leaving the building, Arnold followed, he took off his apron and dropped it on a table and left the building as ins
Berlin, Germany It was night fall and the hour of the feast was almost at hand; Uzor in a fine room with classical designs; the entire house was classically designed, the bed was really large and so was the room and it smelt really nice in there. Amanda was in her room getting dressed for the evening; there was a light knock on the door of her room, she walked over and opened the door and there was Thomas “Miss Amanda, your father requests your presence in the dinning room” he said “I will be out shortly” she said, he nodded and left Amanda continued with her dressing, she finished then headed out; the house was really large, she went down the stairs then headed towards the dining room, there was a large door that led into the room, she could hear voices faintly from the other side of the door, she stood there inhaled and exhaled, she pushed the double door and met everyone seated and talking, there was silence as every head turned to see her, she felt uncomfortable as they s
There was a fine restaurant where Eja always ate and drank with his friends, he was there most of the time and on this day Victor went over to him to have a talk. Victor stepped out of a Mercedes with John and two other men, they were all armed with hand guns under their clothes, they entered the restaurant and located Eja where he sat with some men drinking beer, the room was full of Eja’s boys, they all looked alerted the moment Victor entered; all the costumers in the restaurant who were not on any sides quickly left the restaurant for them because they had no idea what was about to go down here this afternoon. Eja smiled as he watched Victor walk closer to him “My biggest rival in the building” Eja said, he looked excited to see Victor, Victor pulled a plastic arm chair and sat down, the others stood behind him, John sat down. Face to face with Eja, Victor thought about just pulling out his gun and shooting him dead but he knew things would get very messy “What do you want t
In school, it was break time, kids were out playing on the playground when Amanda suddenly remembered she had not eaten her food yet and mummy wouldn’t be happy if that food returned home, she quickly went upstairs to her class, she grabbed her flask then opened it to see spaghetti and sauce with chicken, she took her fork and began eating, she was alone in class when suddenly she heard voices coming from out the window, she curiously went over to the window with her flask in her hand. Out the window she saw group of men in white clothes, they formed two lines as they practiced karate, they appeared to be making funny sounds from their mouth “Hiya! Hiya! Kiya!” they chanted as they punched the air in front of them, stepping forward and turning sideways like a choreographic movement; as a 9 year old child Amanda was instantly fascinated and excited, she loved what they were doing and wanted to be a part of it, she watched them, forgetting she was eating, when she heard the school bell
Iyanu was at her office at the mall eating spaghetti when her phone rang, it was Amanda’s school headmaster calling “Hello Headmaster” she replied “Good morning Mrs. Wilson, how are you ma?” he said “I am doing okay, how is work?” she replied then ate a spoon full “We thank God… madam please I would like to confirm if your daughter came over to you at the mall?” he asked, Iyanu paused the food, she was a bit confused “Not at all, what is the problem?” she asked “Actually Ma, we have been looking for her for the past 2 hours now” he said “Jesus!” Iyanu jumped from her chair “Amanda and her friend Ngozi are nowhere to be found, we thought she might have come over to you at the mall” “Jesus! How come?! How did my child go missing from your school?” “I am so sorry ma, we…” “I am on my way now” she hanged up and quickly left the office in a hurry, she immediately called Victor “Hello babe what’s up?” Victor said “Amanda is missing from school, the headmaster just called now” s
PRESENT Amanda couldn’t get over the fact that Iyanu was dead, she sat on the bed in her room alone, her godfather walked in as she cried quietly, he sat down beside her but doesn’t say a word, she took a piece of cloth and wiped her eyes “I am going to find whoever did this?” she said “There is something I need to show you” he said then got up and walked away, she reluctantly got up and followed him. He led her into his library, he took a portrait off the wall then pushed the nail in the nail it was hanging from—it wasn’t actually a nail but button designed like a nail. A secret door opened beside a shelf, they walked into the room, it was large with computers and a large HD screen on the wall, this place wasn’t new to Amanda. “It’s been awhile” she said as she looked around, Dr. Gunther took a remote and turned ON the TV “I know who killed Iyanu and took Victor” he said, Amanda looked at him “Who?” she asked as she walked closer to him, he pushed a button on the remote to reve

PRESENT Amanda and Uzor driving through the streets of Berlin “Are you sure you know where to find him?” Uzor asked “I can find anybody I am looking for” she said with eyes on the road “Hmmm, interesting” Uzor replied as he looked away but then he thought about what she just said then he looked at her with surprise “So that is your super power, finding anyone you want… that was how you found me” he said “Finally, what took you so long?” she said “Waw… well, you didn’t exactly make it easy for me” he said “I have teleportation too” she said “What! Are you for real? Are you even human?” he asked, she smiled and looked at him “Says the werewolf” she replied “Whatever” “I was born with the gifts” she said “That is amazing, I am sure you must have frightened your parents” he said “I didn’t just frighten them, I was a monster to them so they rejected me, I was on the streets at 3 years old” “Jesus Christ! What the hell!” Uzor exclaimed “That is awful” “No… that is life” she
