Emma

I Want Your Brains

Craig pulled his SIG Pro pistol while rushing to catch up with the shadow. Patrick on the other hand was running ridiculously fast with nothing on hand.

"Hey dumbass! Don't go playing the hero when you're not holding anything at all!" Craig shouting at Patrick who was continuously running.

Patrick turned his head at Craig with sharp detached eyes. In an instant, Patrick jumped real high on the second floor balcony of a building and saw him jump again to the next.

Craig was left thunderstruck. "How did he-?" "Is he...?" Asking himself at loss of words.

Craig entered the building and went for the elevator. Everything were still in midway floors. He grabbed one of the building's concierge. "Where are the service stairs?" Craig asked, catching his breath.

"I need to follow them and help." Emma told herself.

She went inside the car and shifted the gear to reverse. The tires were screeching as she was driving backwards. "Move! Move! Urgh! Sorry!" Emma watching at the back through the open window while cars and pedestrians were evading her car. Tires screeched again, turning the car into a swivel. Emma shifted the gear to drive, kicked the gasoline and drove around the corner.

The wind was blowing her hair as she was looking up in the buildings for signs of Patrick or Craig. "Where are the two of you!?" Emma told herself.

As she was driving closely in the sidewalks, her peripherals suddenly caught some people on the other side of the street, looking up and pointing at something. She shifted reverse, turned right and accelerated to the other side.

Tires screeched again as she quickly hit the brakes, went outside and looked up.

"Patrick!" Emma shouted.

Emma was searching for the entrance in the building from an ocean of people. "Excuse me! Sorry! Coming through!" Emma, making her way through.

"Who the hell are you and what did you do to Cassidy and the others!?" Patrick shouted at the shadow with fearful anger.

The shadow just fell silent, smiling.

'Bang!' Patrick turned around and saw Craig pointing his gun at the shadow.

"Hihi." The shadow giggling as nothing happened with his gunshot. It seemed like it went right through the shadow.

Patrick changed posture to a fighting stance. Patrick rushed to the shadow and raised his right leg towards the shadow. "Argh!" Patrick shouted as he attacks. His eyes grew wide as his leg just went through the shadow.

Patrick went back to his original position, swallowed his saliva and was sweating all over. He could feel his heartbeat thumping loud.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

He closed his feet and stood still. "Got no other choice then." Patrick mumbled.

"Watch out Dawson! To your right!" Craig shouted.

The shadow's leg is getting closer at Patrick's cheek.

Patrick suddenly raised his hand and the shadow floated still on air.

"Argh!" The shadow was shocked and was struggling to move.

Patrick swayed his hand on the other side. Suddenly, the shadow was thrown swiftly where Patrick swayed his hand.

"Wha-?!" Craig was in awe with what he's seeing. Suddenly, his head jerked. "Dawson! Behind you!" He suddenly shouted at him.
