The Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 11

"hello?" jake

He was now over the phone with general bruce, where it was now 4pm in the afternoon, just in time when the store has lesser customers.

"Hellu jake, its general bruce here. I thought that i needed to apologize for our president."

"Oh, i see. And then?"

"He has been a jerk lately, so i thought i need to apologize to you for his actions during the event."

"I cant say i forgive him, but its true though, he has been a jerk lately. Maybe even worse than tramp."

"I really cant say something to you aside from my apology. Anyways, pride is nothing compared to doing the right thing, right?"

"Yes, exactly true. Glad you are a humble person general."

"Well, we will need you in the coming days though."

"What do you mean?"

"I cant say yet, but maybe in the coming days, the US military might need your help."

"What happened to natasha anyways?"

"Top secret. Im not in position right now to tell you any information about her."

"Why cant i ask the whereabouts of my own student?"

"Even if she may be your student, once the file has been deemed confidential, there is absolutely no way for even me to tell anyone."

"I see. While i will respect that, for now, i do hope that she is alright."

"Yes, she is fine."

"Basically, i dont trust your new president. Hes too bias against us mutants, or maybe even with hybrids."

"Me too--"

*ring*

"Thats from our stores phone, let me get this. Or would there be anything else you need?" Jake

"Nope, bye for now." Bruce said before he cut the line

"Hello?" Jake said as he picks up the landline

"Jake burns! So glad you picked up!"

"What? What happened?"

"Its president rick, hes been kidnapped!"

"What?!"

"Yes, and by a flying dragon!"

"Who is this again? And lets calm down first and collect the info. Tell me what happened."

"This is general tuba by the way, and this all happened when the president was about to go home for the day, in his car. Until a red dragon kidnapped him!"

"I get it, so where is he now?"

"Up in the malacanang building rooftop, saying he wants you, or else the president shall literally fall!"

"There are absolutely many who would like to challenge me, but this is the first time that--"

Tuba cuts him off, "never mind being impressed or something, please get here and resolve things before its too late!"

"Is the media there already?"

"What?! The president is being held hostage and--"

Jake cuts him off, "general, lets be calm first. Im just asking a question whether this issue has been publicized or not."

"Alright then, there are at least some civilians who are taking shots and posting it on social media."

"Hahh.. alright then, let me get there in about 5-15 minutes tops, i have to ask permission from my parents to go first."
