Chapter 3
"Brother, what was that now?" it was obvious that Erika was referring to the electric shock attack.
"I do not know either, this morning I heard a voice in my head saying that I had woken up, for some reason I knew how to use this ability as easy as breathing, after watching the tv I realized that I was not the only one with these abilities. "
"!!!You too?!!!" Erika jumped out of surprise. After taking some time to calm down, he told his experience.
"This morning I also heard the voice that said I woke up." Although Richard and Tyler had already a.s.sumed it, they could not help but be surprised. After all it was said that only 5% of the world population had woken up, so that two brothers would wake up was as likely as winning the lottery, although they knew it could happen it was just that the odds were very small.
Tyler was even more confused, because according to his experiences of awakening, they simply hear a voice notifying them that they had awakened and then there are their abilities, it is very different from what Tyler has experienced with the semi-transparent screen.
"Erika, what's your skill?" Tyler could not help being curious about Erika's ability and if it was similar to Richard's, hearing his question Richard also fixed his gaze on his sister.
Seeing the face of expectation of the two Erika could only give a sigh dejected and somewhat resentful.
"My ability is not as great as Richy's, I can only handle technology, for example when it touched a damaged PC I know how to fix it and also hack it." After saying it you could see his face of sadness.
"I do not think your ability is so simple, it's just that you have not discovered all its uses yet." Tyler said with a face of extreme confidence.
"But I still wanted a skill as cool as Richy's" Erika was still downcast.
"Well, you're better than me, I do not have a skill yet," Tyler said with a bitter smile.
When Erika heard this she could not help being ashamed, complaining about her ability when
But neither Richard nor Erika realized the meaning of the word "yet" since Tyler believed that once the mission was done he would awaken his ability.
After waiting for a whole hour the police finally appeared but it was just a cop on his motorcycle.
"I regret the delay but all the officers are currently in service, things are very chaotic, and well, what happened here?"
Tyler and the others were out of the store waiting for the officer, nor would they stay in the store with the body or move it since they could accuse them of tampering with the evidence.
"Follow us please" Richard took the lead to speak with the police.
When entering the supermarket the first thing that is visible to the naked eye is the body of the thief and the large amount of blood that came out of his head.
The first thing the policeman did was take his pulse and shake his head:
"He died" after looking around the store he looked at us and asked.
"What exactly happened here?"
After listening to how things happened.
The policeman glanced at the three of them and asked.
"Do you have any evidence that things really happened that way?"
"We can watch the surveillance videos" pointing to a security camera Tyler replied.
The policeman even after entering the security booth and watching the video, he could not accept what he saw, three simple teenagers defeating a famous thief and rapist who had awakened a speed skill, although Richard's ability had a lot to do paralyzing him for a moment, the highlight was the coordination of the three, after the thief was paralyzed the girl escaped immediately and the next moment the bat boy giving the final blow.
After all, he was awakened on the basis of speed if one of the three was a second behind, the result would be another.
After watching video 5 the policeman turns around and looks at the three and says:
"I do not know, it was all in self-defense, and after I removed the hood I knew it was a criminal accused of 32 rapes against women, it's not like someone will miss him." Then he looked at Richard.
"You have a good ability ayi, the government is thinking of recruiting the awake with a salary from $ 20,000 per month depending on your skill and use, you will also have license to use your skill because if you do it without the license you will be considered a criminal or a terrorist. " After giving his speech the policeman looked expectantly at Richard as those who can recruit an awake for the government, will receive a promotion and a bonus in money.
"I'm sorry I'd like to think it over first and talk to my family," Richard replied with an apologetic face.
"Ho, do not worry these decisions should not be taken lightly, if you decide to accept you can contact me at this number" as if he had already antic.i.p.ated the police responded with a smile and handed a card to Richard.
"I'll take care of the body you can leave" after finis.h.i.+ng solving what has to do with his statements the policeman was about to leave when Richard stopped him and asked:
"How are things going and out?"
"I'm not going to lie to you guys, things are serious, the small revolts are nothing, I heard recently that there was a terrorist attack in Bogota but we still do not know who is responsible, in Brazil the leader of a favela acquired a very powerful ability and partic.i.p.ated in a ma.s.sacre.
Not to mention the attack on the United States is already nicknamed the other September 11, just go home while these things are happening hopefully our little town will not be anything so horrible. "After saying this the policeman left without looking back.
