06. The Competition

The globe flies through the air before it bumps against the bookshelf, ricochets like a soccer ball and lands on the floor and rolls until it stops in front of the huge rosewood desk.

Ahmed is mad. "Nothing ...! It's Thursday already and you incompetent idiots don't have anything! You are like aimless beheaded chickens. Idiots! Idiots!"

An uncomfortable silence hangs in the office while Ahmed glares at his microphone on the desk as if it is the culprit. Then he hears the anxious voice of Aryan: "It's not possible to be at all places at the same time, sir, we are only three and it will take some time, but we will capture him. I promise, sir."

Ahmed shakes his head and looks like a lost little boy as he looks up to his guru for help.

"The boy hasn't gone to the police. That could mean that he discarded the book already and is trying to forget his ordeal and that he doesn't take what the professor scribbled seriously. That's all conclusion I can come to now."

Vipracitti comes forward, leans over en talks into the microphone: "Mohammed, what is your room number in the Holiday Inn in Port Elizabeth?"

Mohammed answers with a trembling and scared voice: "Room 66, master ..."

Vipracitti smiles grimly and put his blue hands on the desk and stares Ahmed full in the face. "Look in my eyes, my child ..."

Ahmed looks in the eyes of his guru that changes into dark, black pools and everything around Vipracitti become vague and vanishes as if into nothing. Ahmed feels how he lifts up into the air out of his chair and the voice of his guru is like thunder that echoes in a giant, deep cave: "Follow me, my child."

He feels as light as a feather and floats behind Vipracitti and they shoot up through the roof into the sky above, up and up. The guru shows him the moon and like rockets, they shoot up to the moon and look back to earth. They shoot back and move to the southern part of Africa. They fly over South Africa and then to a point more or less halfway down the east coast. They go through a few clouds and Ahmed now recognizes the city lights. Like eagles they glide over the coastline and see two hotels and they fly over them and then Ahmed sees the sign of the Holiday Inn in a bushy area near the shore.

They fly to the inn and go through the entrance and then down a corridor to room 66. They go through the door and Ahmed stops in front of Aryan and Mohammed that sit on their beds opposite each other. They are watching their smartphone anxiously.

Vipracitti stops right in front of Mohammed that suddenly gets a fright when he appears. The next moment Aryan hears Vipracitti over the smartphone but Mohammed and Ahmed hear him from right in front of them and his voice echoes like thunder in a dark, deep cave.

"You can't escape from me because I'm always with you. You will have success shortly and don't have to be afraid. That boy is fascinated by that book for which you assaulted the old man. His curiosity gets the better of him and he doesn't want to involve the police. He wants to try and solve the riddle himself. The book is safe as long as its contents is a riddle for him.

"No one will be allowed to block the path of our Shiva, the Annihilator. Our mother Durga Maya has suffered long enough at the hand of the devilish conduct of the people of Kali Yuga. It is high time that this civilization annihilates itself and ends before it destroys Mother Earth completely. You are Shiva's soldiers and will be honoured as the leaders of the new world. Fauna and flora will flourish in full glory and Mother Earth will abound with life."

Then Ahmed is back in his chair and looks up to the guru in wonder. Then he rises and walks around the desk and kneels in front of the guru.

Vipracitti lifts him. "You don't have to kneel before me, my child, because soon you will be the leader of our 144 000 followers that our new world order will bring."
