COLISEUM

Chapter 25

Meanwhile, Ximo peered into the gym seeing if there was any activity. His brown eyes darted to the weights, then to the treadmills, the dumbells, the barbells.

Yes.

He then spotted the kettlebells, the squat stands, two assault bikes.

Not bad, but something else is missing.

Ximo thought after he saw the parallettes, resistance bands, stability balls and battle ropes. Then he turned to his right to see a 24ft indoor wall climber.

Yes! This a real gym!

Ximo's eyes beamed as he went to test the indoor wall climber. It started with climbing up to one stone and stepped over another as his arms stretched and got climbing, his muscles got fired up as his spine motioned to one side as it curved up with the torque, the tingling sensation as his muscles tighten as he lifted one knee as the pressure of the calf and boosted himself up to another stone. Shadow spotted the muscular human and climbed the wall in her Indoraptor form with ease. When Ximo was meters away from touching the ceiling, Shadow was eye level with him, before she licked her sharp teeth at his next meal.

Dirlu walked up to Faim with a vacuum she bought, "Faim, be a dear and hold this vacuum I bought, I want Eimy to test it." She passed the electrodomestic item to Faim. "Where is she anyway?" Dirlu looked around.

"Beats me." Faim replied as he looked at the electrodomestic device.

"You don't know," Dirlu remarked, "why am I not surprised? If you don't keep your eyes peeled, she'll disappear again. She may claim to be a strong independent woman, but that attitude of hers won't prevent her from being taken again. First by that pirate B. Lufn, then she got abducted by the ninjas." Dirlu warned him before she had an idea. "I should buy a bell for Eimy to wear, she needs that bell more than Mewmi." Dirlu stated as she left to go buy a cat bell as she swayed her hips to act refined. Faim looked at the other attachments the mop vac had.

"It has a blender attachment? I could use that to make a protein shake." Faim commented.

Ruben scouted the area searching for the prize money, he had finally passed the restricted halls that one of the supervisors prevented him to tresspass. To his delight, he found a trophy wall that was a block away from the medium sized gym. The more he perused from room to room, the closer he felt from finding the prize money. Sara and Sajid stood on guard, on Sajid'd left, he saw two caretakers bring the damaged drone. The male security guard nudged Sara to look at it.

"It's been a while." Sara commented, giving a curious glance at the dented device.

"Another one bites the dust." Sajid said as if attempted espionage was the norm.
