TYRALIUM

Chapter 7

I woke up in the back seat of a huge, spacy black car, and Ramson, Desmond, and Nathaniel were beside me.

"So, you mind telling us your name?" Nathaniel yelled.

"What's going on?" I whispered to Desmond, who sat beside me.

"My name's Nick, since you care so much, and I'm an agent." A deep voice which I couldn't recognise, driving the car, introduced.

"Of where? Anti-Villain Agency." Ramson joked as they all laughed.

"Actually, yeah." He answered "Great guess kid. How'd you know?"

It was the first time I saw his face this close, through the front mirror. He was bald, and dark, and I recognised black as his favourite colour.

"This is not funny. Let's go home!" Desmond yelled.

"It's not a joke. Limuel is not to be trusted." He said.

"Says the guy who we don't know." Ramson said folding his arm.

"You can't go out there. Limuel might be looking for you as we speak."

"And that's a bad thing because . . ." I asked.

"Because . . . just shut your asses up. I'll explain everything when we get to the hideout." Nick said.

The thing is, there was nothing we could do about it. It's not like we could just bust out of the car. Besides, I wanted to know what was going on, why we were being wanted by so many people, and it seems like this guy has the answer. So we sat quietly, and waited for the ride to be over.

He drove, and drove, and drove, until we stopped in front of an ocean. Nick reversed, sending the car backwards and backwards. I was yet to see what he would do next.

"So, we're lost." Ramson announced "Figured this would happen."

But then at once, Nick drove with full speed aiming for the ocean.

"What the duck!" We all yelled as we crushed into the ocean.

"Oh my gosh." I said relieved, once we were in the ocean.

He drove into a small tube, on the ocean ground, which sucked us in, the moment we were close enough.

We landed which a loud thump onto the ground of a cave.

"Step out, else you'll be cleaned also." Nick said, walking out of the car.

At first, we disagreed, but then we changed our mind when a huge machine rose from the walls aiming for the car.

"Follow, and don't speak." Nick commanded.

Nick's badge was scanned, and the gate immediately slip up open, like a garage gate.

OH MY GOSH. Men! If you saw what I saw, you'd be more mesmerized than I was.

It was huge. Huge than I'd ever seen a house be. I didn't know where we were yet, but gosh, was my mouth opened. It had about 40 grounds, which had more than a 100 men working over the computers.

"Hurry, into the elevator." Nick said walking into the elevator.

We followed him, still mesmerized, observing the whole place.

The elevator, just kept on ascending, and ascending, as if it aimed for the ceiling.

"Where are we?" Desmond asked.

"It's like only 20% of everything I say goes into your brains." He held his forehead, and sighed "Teen-agers. I am an agent of the AVA, and this is one of our many bases."
