Chapter 19

At first Blake’s instinct was to run, but even as he tried to move, his legs seemed to have lost all desire to accept commands from his brain, and he found himself frozen in place, holding a bolt-cutter in one hand and the plastic cases of the stolen goggles in his other. He was still imagining what prison was going to be like, when the sudden sound of gunfire to his left suddenly snapped him out of his trance! He ducked instinctively behind the car, shielding his head with his hands, and as he looked up he saw the first security guard go down, clutching his leg in pain. Marcelo stepped past Blake, firing repeatedly at the remaining guard, the bullets smashing the windows and tyres of their car, the sound a deafening orchestra of chaos. He seemed to be fearless as he marched directly at the guard, unconcerned with the return fire or the bullets that whizzed past his head as the guard tried desperately to protect himself. He had ducked behind the door of his security vehicle, and was aiming his gun over the bonnet aimlessly, letting off shots. One of these lucky shots hit Marcelo in the hand, and his gun went flying, leaving him unarmed and defenceless!

The security guard, realising that Marcelo had suddenly stopped firing, stood up from his hiding place and started running around the front of the car towards them. Blake dropped the items he was holding and, without thinking, rushed out from behind the car towards the approaching security guard, who swung his weapon in surprise towards Blake instead! The next few moments seemed to play out in slow motion. Blake felt a calmness descend over him, a peace and tranquillity that was totally out of context with the mayhem that was happening all around them at the moment. His mind flashed back at lightning speed to the side of a highway, a broken down car, a defenceless woman and an angry, cruel motorist. It switched to a cosy bar, a men’s toilet, a brutish and drunk bully. And then to an airport parking lot, and an approaching mercenary, armed and ready to kill him! He remembered the strange power that he had found within himself during all those instances, the electrical fingers of – something – that had coursed through his body, projecting outwards towards those bad people, filling them with it, touching them with it, slamming into them with some weird telekinetic projection – gently in some instances, violently in others! He felt this power building up again, he felt it filling his senses and his being, rushing up towards his now outstretched fists. He directed it at the furious security guard who was now applying pressure to the trigger of his gun, a gun that was aimed directly at Blake’s head. He willed this force to leave his body and envelope this man, to stop him in his tracks, to slam him backwards through the air.
