Across Book 2

Chapter 15 : One vs All

"You guys would be a valuable addition to the force." Jacob looked back at the team.

Ryan wondered for a second if Jacob really meant it.
They moved ahead to Block D, while Jacob searched for Cell 376. They followed the cell numbers and finally tracked it down.

Jacob moved closer to the cell and yelled "Brock, how are you doing buddy ?".
But it wasn't Brock, it wasn't even someone who resembled Brock.
"Who are you ?" he spoke back.
"Wait, this is Brock's cell. Who are you ?" Jacob questioned.

"Oh, you don't know what happened last night ?" He spoke back.
Jacob was waiting for a reply.
"What are you doing outside prison ? Planning a Jailbreak, are you? Maybe I will tell you where Brock is if you include me in it." the prisoner in Cell 376 spoke.

Myra kept her hand on the bars of the prison bars, and yelled, "NO TIME FOR THIS !!" while her red glowing eyes demanded the truth, "Tell me where Brock is ?" she ordered.

"In Maximum Security cell," the prisoner obeyed to answer on his own.

"Why is Brock in Maximum Security ? When did this happen ?" Jacob yelled almost too loud.

Myra commended the answers to the same question.

"It happened last night when Brock got into a fight before dinner time. He got angry and a white shiny ball from his finger suddenly took everyone down on the floor for a minute. The guards wondered what if Brock had some kind of explosive in the prison with him. After they tapped him down, they put Brock in Maximum Security last night. I was brought here this morning to his cell." the prisoner concluded.

"Where is that cell ?" Myra asked again.

The prisoner told her to look upstairs in a different block.

Vinsh got a call from Garion on his phone. With the bluetooth on his ears he answered the call.

"This is Garion. Looks like we are in trouble." Garion's voice fidgeted while saying so.

"How much more time do we have ?" Vinsh tapped on his bluetooth to ask.

"I have been in the system for the last fifteen minutes. Maybe I can try getting in another time but they'll figure out where the signal is from coming. I can start from a server. In any case we have two minutes, tops." Garion replied.

"Alright." Vinsh cut the call.

"Two minutes." Vinsh raised his index and middle finger to gesture the importance of the time.

"Forget this ever happened," Myra commanded the prisoner.

They moved upstairs, countering a few guards. It was getting tricky as they moved upstairs.

"This is the first time after our last interaction that I'm using my abilities," Vijenshki said while moving hurriedly.

"Why so, you seem really powerful." Jacob answered.

"Yeah that is my fear !" Vijenshki answered.

"What do you mean ?" Jacob was confused.

"What I fear is that, if I let my abilities grow to a certain point and end up being so strong, that when I give someone my hand to help them out, I might crush their bones instead." Vijenshki said.

"I am sure that won't happen," Jacob continued, "you'll get used to your abilities when you keep practicing, just like you can control your strength at different circumstances."

"I guess," Vijenshki said and paused when the maximum security prison came in view.

"We should hurry," Jacob said, "Brock must be going crazy in a closed space like that."
