Dark parallel trap

Chapter 23

Owen briskly ran to next to the office chair where Frank was sitting. Owen saw that his little brother Carter has been running into the school doors. He's been trying to escape the parents' doubles and his own double. They have been chasing him non stop. Carter was holding a joystick device in his hand. "How did he get here?" Owen asked as he watched Carter rushing through the hallway towards the lockers. The teachers and students have noticed Carter and started to pursue him to. "I better get him out of there. He's in deep trouble." Owen said as he prepared to teleport himself to the stairwell where he's running to. "No, I'll do it. You could get caught again." Frank turned the knob on his invisibility device. He was gone for a whole minute. The maintenance man was groaning as he started to wake up. Owen needed to act fast. He quickly ran to put the liquid in the bottle he was holding on the cloth in his other hand.

"What are you doing here?" The maintenance man said as he saw him coming up to him. Owen quickly put the cloth next to this mouth. He had the maintenance man sleeping in five seconds. His eyes suddenly closed. He was now sleeping, sitting next to a wall of the super computer room. Owen then bounded to the computer screen. He saw that his brother was opening the door to the stairwell, something was holding him back on his shoulder. Carter screamed when the people chasing him were closing in. Slowly, Carter started to fade away in plain sight. The students, the parents, and teachers were flabbergasted to see Carter fade away so quickly. Owen heard his little brother screaming as he was teleported over to the super computer room. Owen put the bottle and cloth on the floor. He was quick to cover Carter's mouth. The thing holding Carter by the shoulder let go of him. Frank appeared by turning off the invisibility device. Owen stared into his little brother's eyes. Feeling less frightened, Carter stopped screaming. Owen gently took his hand off his brother's mouth. "Good morning." Carter greeted as he was wearing his pajamas. "What's going on here? Where am I? Is this your school?" He asked some more. Owen didn't respond. Instead he stared at his brother angrily. "Did you go into my room without my permission?" Owen interrogated Carter. Carter didn't answer. "You did go into my room did you? And you went through my backpack without me knowing about it?" Owen spoke, nearly using a loud tone of voice. "Calm down Owen. Somebody could hear you from the hallway." Frank recommended. Fearing that they could be discovered at any moment. Carter, knowing that he was in a pickle, nodded his head. A tear came down his right cheek. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Did you know how much trouble you were in running down that hallway and taking something out of my bag that doesn't belong to you?" Owen asked. Carter didn't answer. "Well at least that he wasn't brought here by the machine. We better figure out a plan to stop the school once and for all." Frank said as he went to sit back in the office chair. "I'm sorry Owen. I didn't meant for any of this to happen." Carter cried as more tears came from his face. "I just want to go home." "Well we could get home after all of this is over." Owen bent his knees and was face to face with his little brother.

"Calm down Carter. We will get out of here soon. Right now, people are after me and you. If we can prevent them from chasing us back home, then we will be safe and sound. Owen said in a gentle and smooth tone of voice. Frank finished making some adjustments to the super computer. "Can't we just travel back home by just using this?" Carter queried. He held up the joystick like device. Owen shook his head. "Alright, that's got to work." Frank said as he typed the last command into the super computer. He then walked up to Owen and Carter. "And who might you be?" Frank asked as he looked down at Carter. Carter was a little bit scared, but he did introduced himself to Frank. "Nice to meet you Carter. Your brother has accidently been transported into another world. The same thing has happened to you." Frank explained. "What? We are far away from earth?" Carter queried. He was confused by the news. "It's a long story. I think we both have a plan to get back to our house." Owen replied. "Are we going to be stuck here forever?" Carter asked. Frank shook his head. "Don't panic, I've got something that will help get you back home. The only thing is that we need the coordinates of your world." Frank lied to him. Frank looked up to Owen. "The only other problem that we have to be scared about is the cameras that are constantly watching you at school and at home. I'll get them disabled in no time flat." Frank promised. He then went back to work on the super computer. "Wait, you're saying that there are cameras sent from this world to my school and to my house?" Owen asked. Frank didn't answer. He simply typed away using the simple keyboard. The big screen was slowly scrolling downwards with the commands being typed in. He then added a final command that was unknown to Owen. "Alright, in a few seconds, the camera drones will be sent back to my home world in no time flat. I just need to make one final adjustment here." Frank explained. He took off his backpack and took out a USB stick. He placed it in the one of two spots that would allow a USB stick to be plugged in. Owen didn't know what Frank had stored on the USB key. Then he noticed the words virus in the single document of the drive. Frank opened the document, but it looked like a blank word document. "This is just to make sure that nobody else from your world gets into the same mess again." Frank said as he saved the file onto the super computer's hard drive. The USB key was disconnected and Frank put it in the pocket of the sleeping maintenance man.
