The thought of just looking at the pair, so lifeless and empty made Jack want to cry.
"What are you doing to my friends?" Jack shouted.
"Oh, you know the usual. Taking their energy so I can become supernatural and rule the world. "
"Right, very normal, the stuff you see happening every day to kids. Children these days, am I right? No, I'm not right. That would explain why I'm calling the police. Who's laughing now."
" I wouldn't do that if I were you. "
"Why ever not?"
" Because they won't believe you. I know you think I'm just some kidnapper but I'm not. I control minds. I am the truth and the truth is me. Sometimes you have to just . . . think outside the box. Get what I'm saying? "
"Who'll be laughing when I call the police?"
"If you call the police then everything ends. You'll be watched all day and night. There is no way to beat me. Welcome to the 21st century, people believe what they want to believe. I'm only real because people think I am. I'm the master of belief. You too can believe it. Give it all up. Who needed the truth anymore? Lies make up our world and it's our time to show it. Join me and rule the world with me. I'm offering you the deal of a lifetime. The window won't be open for long. Think about it. Find yourself. Find what you really need, me."
" Never. You are an evil old brat and if you think I'd be able to live knowing the pain and suffering you're causing people then you better think again. You're not real and all I need to do is prove it. "
"Try me. I'm tougher than a rock. There is no way people will believe me. I will rule supreme!"
