Origins of the Fire

Prologue

BANG!!

"WHERE'S KWEKU?" Chief Bana shouted as he barged into his police station.

"Oh I put him in the room sir," a police officer said while Chief passed the common area.

His police officers were watching the television as breaking news was coming through.

"Breaking news..The police headquarters is in disarray as it was attacked by a group of..."

You probably won't here all of the news because Chief Bana was racing to the investigation room. With every step he took he increased in rage. He was so fast that his cast was beginning to come off.

His pronounced footsteps caught the attention of every inmate he passed, including Derick McDan, who at the sound of the footsteps quickly got up in uneasiness; something didn't feel right.

"KWEKU!! KWEKU!!!!!!" He shouted through the halls.

"KWEEKUUUUUUUU!!!!!!"

SCREEEECH!!!

He barged into the investigation room where an anxious Kweku was seated.

"Kweku Where's O?"

Kweku knew he couldn't give the usual answer; Chief figured something out.

"I know he didn't die in that fire Kweku I...(sigh).... He was talking to you, wasn't he? (he looked Kweku dead in the eye) He was talking to you the minute you were sacked from Richmond High. THE PLANS, THE SCHEMES, EVERYTHING!!! That wasn't you (pause), it was him."

Kweku's eyes sunk to the floor in shame. The room was well ventilated but there was this sudden feeling on suffocation.

"So I'll ask you one....last....time.......where's O?"

No response.

"Where's O Kweku?" He retorted silently.

Kweku began to look away in order to....

SLAM!!

Chief Bana swung the table all the way to the wall.

"WHERE IS HE???"

Kweku began to tear up.

"OH DON'T START THAT FOOLISHNESS, WHERE'S O????"

His phone began to ring.....

"WHERE'S O KWEKU???"

It was DG calling.......

"THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE!!!"

There was some commotion outside....

"WHERE IS HE, TELL ME NOW!!!"

Prisoners began to hit their bars....

"WHEEEERREEE IS HEEEE???"

Police were shouting.....

"TELL ME WHERE HE IS??"

His phone rung louder.....

"KWEKU!!"

And louder.........

"KWEEEKUU!!!"

AND LOUDER.....

"WHERE IS HE??"

"On his way," Kweku murmured.

"What?" Chief panted, getting closer to Kweku.

"I said he's on his..

BOOM!!!!!!!

An explosion set Chief and Kweku flying until they hit the wall.

THUD!!

KISHHHHH

Smoke filled the entire room. We now pull back from the room with an unconscious Chief and Kweku, through the hallway. Stronger prisoners were coughing, younger ones were completely knocked out. We move past Derick's empty cell, flickering lights, mid-air dust and motionless police officers, to one officer, still gasping for breath. With all his might he tried to get up but...

KICK!

O knocked him right down again.

"Search the area," O said.

Out of the smoke emerged an army of boys and girls, big and small racing through the station with flashlights and weapons, and yes; they were wearing grey jumpsuits.

O adjusted his long black coat before slowly moved across the smoky hall. With every step, he increased in satisfaction. His black boots sent debris slightly flying. He breathed in the smoke, and gushed it all out. He finally came to the investigation room. He wanted to knock but the door was on the floor.

If you were to see through his shades, you'd first look at the flickering light, then you would look at a helpless Chief Bana, with blood slowly oozing from his broken arm. Then you would look at a lifeless Kweku, with a bunch of bruises on his head.

O slowly walked towards Kweku and bent down to whisper into his ear:

"You look sleepy."

Owusu then rushed into the room.

"I had so many plans for this boy," O said while looking at Kweku.

"So many opportunities,

so many lives,

but they all faded away,

faded into a deep sigh."

Owusu couldn't bare to look at Kweku but continued to speak: "O we ummm we ummm.. we can't find Derick."

"He's escaped....again....and whose fault was that Kweku?"

"We've taken all the prisoners out, waiting for you instructions," Fred said, coming in as well.

O slowly got up and dusted off some debris.

"Burn this station to the ground, I want the WORLD TO KNOW I'M BACK!!" O giggled.

He then walked out of the room but stopped in remembrance of something.

"Oh oh oh, and take the police officers outside as well, I'm not really in the mood for death.........(started to walk away with a smirk on his face)......

.....Just fire."
