caleb's mind

I stepped out of the house and walked towards the road, following the faint trail of the dragged bodies.

Sadly it led to a dead end, cause they were seemingly pulled into a car.

It's patterns have been overwritten by other cars.

In the few seconds I held the note, I was able to memorize the entire thing, down to the tear at the edge of the page; the pattern it took.

Advard street, No. 92.

I've seen this place before.

On the way to school, I've seen the streets name.

Never really found it important, so paid no indepth attention.

But from the mere view, it's not really populated.

But the most important question is how do I get there?

Mary's mom has a car, but I don't want any cop stopping me and asking unnecessary questions.

I have no cash on me……

Mary's mom must have some…

I walked to the house and took out her purse. Wanted to take a few bucks, but then how much do I need?

I took the whole thing and boarded a cab to advard and was stopped at the junction.

"How much's the fare?", I asked.

He looked at me and smiled mischievously as he stared at the wallet in my hand.

"A dollar 99!", He replied.

Even an idiot can tell that he's trying to play a fast one.

I took 2 dollar bills and gave to him.

He looked at it smiled like one who hadn't seen such before.

Humans and money… Gosh!

He drove off immediately, saying thank you repeatedly.

I walked in the street, looking left and right, paying close attention to every detail.

In seconds, I spotted a faint stain of blood on the wall.

I walked towards it immediately.

On getting there, I saw something crested really close to it.

"Welcome Caleb"

On seeing this, I figured that the kidnapper knows me very well.

Just then, I heard someone shout repeatedly, seemingly already tired.

"Help!", I heard Merylin yell faintly.

From the sound, I could already pin point the distance from where I was to where she was, at least to the nearest 50meters.

But I can't move there immediately, there some cameras directly above me. Seemingly have waiting for someone to step directly underneath it to trigger an alarm.

Although very low, but I heard it. I bet the kidnapper never expected me to hear it.

From the looks of things they are within the 50m radius from Merylin, but are in a somewhat sealed room.

The main reason I was able to notice it, was because of the abnormal coincidence. As soon as I stepped my foot near the wall stained with blood, the alarm went off immediately and repeatedly.

And this place has really few people, reducing the overall noise.

So if I am right, they must have asked Merylin to scream.

And probably have other cameras installed all over the street.

Their objectives from this is quite simple.

They wanted to watch me use my abilities before apprehending me.

I was expecting an immediate capture though, but I can work with this.

They want a piece of Caleb's mind, I'll give them 2.

……

I walked away from the wall, headed straight to the house next door.

"Hello!", I said as I knocked on the door.

After knocking a while, a girl opened the door partially seemingly hiding her naked body.

She's with her boyfriend, they've been having sex since I got there.

For the plan I have, I need the both of them.

"Excuse me, I am looking for my friends… have you seen them?", I asked politely.

As expected, she replied rudely: "I haven't seen them!"

After speaking she pushed the door close; but before it shut, I put a foot in front.

"Please…", I said as I pushed the door with a little force.

"What are you doing?", she asked applying force to her push.

At this time her boyfriend had gotten off the bed and was walking towards us.

Perfect!

"Babe what's going on?", The boyfriend spoke as he walked towards.

"I don't get this dude!", She said still trying to push the door.

"Hey!", The shirtless boyfriend stepped out.

His hair messy, and his fly partially down, some strands of the girls hair on his hand.

This dude must have been having a great time.

I am sorry, but I need you…

"What do you want?", He asked harshly.

"I… I… ", I stammered acting a bit shocked to see him.

"You dumb?", He added furiously.

"No! I am looking for a friend…", I replied.

"Well they are not here!", He added.

"Could you help me find them, I am new here…", I replied.

"Sorry, I can't help you!", He said about to turn around when I held a part of his trouser.

"Excuse me…", I said strategically pulling his trouser.

As planned, his flyer further went down.

"Are you out of your mind?!", He said obviously pissed.

I waved my hands showing that meant no harm.

"Can I asked the cute girl some questions? Her expression tells me she knows something…", I asked looking at the wall where the blood was imprinted next to scribbling, so the camera could capture me doing it.

"Are you out of your mind?!", He asked turning to me.

At this time, I was already walking towards the girl standing behind the door.

He pulled me by my collar immediately.

As I was pulled back, he threw a punch directly at my face.

I dodged immediately, hitting his tricep with the edge of my now flat hand.

He moved in response to my counter.

He turned to me now alot more angry, "I am going to kill you!", He said aloud.

At this time, I heard the door where they were locked up open as three men rushed out.

"I thought you said he was smart?", One said.

"He is! He probably isn't good with social interactions, being locked up all his life. Just hurry up and go get him before this guy kills the key to the Mudonam box!", The other added.

As soon as he his voice fell, the other did something quite fascinating.

Like a stone thrown at about 300km per second, he ran towards me.

Fascinating…

At that exact moment, Brandy's punch was just about 2 seconds away from my face.

Which was perfect, cause at the speed the runner was coming, the best he can do is witness the punch; he can't stop it.

As planned, the punch landed on my face, sending me flying backwards.

Just then, the runner caught me, and without stopping, he ran back.

To be continued……
