Chapter 10
In the darkness, she couldn't see the faces of her kidnappers. But she definetely knowed who they where.
"Hehahaha... I'm glad that you remember we! How long... 20 years... more!" the man said. "It's nice that you visit me... do you want something? Water? Wine? A snack? I have very good wine... a 1980 Moldavian!" the man said further and snaped with his fingers.
From the darkness, a tall man with brown hairs and with a white shirt entered the scene and served something on a tablet. Jake's wife was shocked because she knowed this man really well.
"Oh, my gosh... you are that German Formula-One-Race-Driver?" she said before she saw something on his hand. Something what showed her what this man really was.
"Surprised? He is almost perfect! Like the original, but he can't talk!" the man said and the man who served the drinks walked away. "Thank you Adrian! Now you can go and play on your piano again..."
"How did you created this clone?" she asked mad.
"Shut up!" one of the woman next to the man shouted angrilly. "First you should her that you are annoying. Because you I lost everything!"
"That is your own fault!" she answered back angrilly. "After that what you did you deserved it!"
"No, I didn't!"
"YOU KILLED 150 PEOPLE! YOU DESERVED IT!" she shouted back.
Meanwhile, Jake walked up and down in the house of his wife's family and listened to that what they reported above the volcano. "...that in a area 20 miles around the mountain all people have to leave thier houses. The army arrived to help the local police with the evacuvation. Scientist see in the volcano and the increasing number of little earthquakes all over the coast a conection..." the anchorman told before someone changed the channel.
"Hey, switch back!" Jake said mad.
His wife's uncle was confused: "Okay!" he said wondered and switched back.
Jake listened further.
Jonny and Grant meanwhile left the hospital-building and walked threw the gardens to talk about that what's going on. They sat down on a bench, when one of the patients ran just in underwear over the path.
"The end is comming... the end is comming!" the patient shouted endlessly.
Jonny turned to Grant: "You know... slowly I have this feeling that there is a connection. Mom was investigating the earthquakes... and now she was kidnapped. The whole coast is moving to the wrong way and everyone believes in terrorists."
"Yes... On phone she said that she found out that she was the target. Did she said why?" Grant asked.
"Not directly! She said just something about a kidnapped scientist." Jonny said and slowly realized. "Wait, a medical-scientist! That's it, I remember. Sal told something about a guy who stole hairs from his car, and Andrew about a strange policeman who scratched him. And the arrow who hit Sal... they didn't wanted them! They just wanted thier DNA!"
Jonny stood up and Grant followed him back to the hospital. In the hospital Jonny talked with a nurse: "Do you have a computer with a... what's the word in Spanish... database of doctors?" Jonny asked after Grant had to whisper him the rest into his ear.
The friendly nurse was helpfully and escorted them to the next information-desk. There a troll-woman sat on a computer and stood up immediately when she saw the American-Dragon and his human-supporter.
"Muchas gracias!" Jonny said. That where the only words he knowed really in Spanish and sat down with Grant on the computer to look for informations...
It was 11:10 am now...
And Paul and his classmates left the school. All were happy, just Paul had to think about his father and was sad.
"What's going on with you? The whole day you look like something is wrong!" one of his friends asked him.
Paul moaned: "Yesterday, I met my father!"
"Really?" his friends asked happily. "You finally know who he is?"
"Yes... he is a human I believed in that he is cool and he is afraid of me!" Paul said and shocked his friends who stopped during Paul walked further. When he turned to his friends again he said: "Would you excuse me... I want to be alone for a while!"
With this words he said goodbye and walked alone across the streets. His friends accept that and entered a trolleybus which stopped just seconds later on the bus-station next to them.
In the hideout of the evil people, Jonny's mother and the woman who was liable for the terrorism attack in New York in 1995 still fight before the man cut them off.
"Ladies... ladies! Calm down... you will have enough time to discuss that later. First I want to say that I'm happy that you recocnized me. The last time we met I was... how old? 14? Yes, I was 14... and you took me my father with your statement." Jorge Lampezeda Jr. shouted mad. "From that day my life was over. No father, my friends abadoned me, the society banned me from everything... but today the society will pay for that.
"Like the father... just more evil!" his hostage said. "Well, they let your father free because he became a better man in prison. Why you are mad? He is free?"
"Because he is also liable for that what happend! If he looked better for his plans he maybe succeded. But no... you had to catch him. But I have to say that some off his plans are really interesting." Jorge said and a big map of the West-Coast appeared. "Oh, before I forget... Jenna you remembered. But Cathy you..."
"Of course I remember the 'Slave-keeper of Brooklyn'! And I want to say... you also deserved the prison."
The other much older woman became really mad now: "You whore... I will kill you!" she shouted and tried to run to her but Jorge hold her.
"Hey calm dowm... we have a contract. We kill her together! Nobody makes anything self..."
Cathy calmed down and looked on thier hostage. "I knowed it! I had should send this lazy girl back to the Iraq!" she said above a young woman who worked in her house as charwoman,
Several years ago the Iraqian woman fled from the Iraq and arrived in America. She needed a job. So she answered a newspaper-announcement from this woman. She looked for a charwoman who was willing to live in her house. She got the job immediately. But the time there was terrible. She had to work 18 hours per day. She wasn't allowed to make a break or even to drink a glass of water. And she was beaten without reason everday. She was a slave... One day, Jonny's mother was walking across the street to ask people to signate a petition to prevent the demolition of a park and a old historic building. Before she could use the doorbell she heared screaming from inside. She looked threw the window and saw how the evil woman mistreathed her slave by hitting her with a belt. Jonny's mother was shocked and knowed that she had to act.
With her old human-supporter skills she punched against the door which break immediately and ran into the house where she immediately put out a sprayer with a magical-potion from her pocket. She sprayed it into the womans face which fall asleep immediately. Than she called the police and the ambulance...
It was a big scandale. The 'slave-keeper of Brooklyn' was a very popular woman. Owner of a company. But the fact that she was a dangerous and violent monster shocked the whole nation. Everyone, even her own parents said in the court that they should keep her in a single-cell and cut her off from all other prisoners because she is so violent and dangerous that she is able misthreat other prisioners. Her slave left America immediately and moved to Germany where she found a foundation for war-refugees. The last words she said to her 'boss' where: "I hope they abuse you in prison!"
And this violent woman was now working together with a mercenary wizard and the dangerous bully girl which was liable for the second worst terrorism attack in New York after the attacks of 9-11! This wizard and his two human acomplies had terrible plans.
"Well... where I was?" Jorge said and looked on the map. "Oh right... I'm pretty sure you want to know what we planned?" he asked and looked on a clock on the wall. "But I wont tell you know... because my favorite TV-show starts in 2 minutes... bye. And enjoy your wine!" he said and pointed on a glass, filled with expensive Moldavian wine. "That's a 1980th. Okay bye!"
The three evil people left the room. She was alone again with the doctor. The doctor lost around 10 pounds in the time he was here. He was a slave of the evil woman like the Arab-girl 4 years ago. When he tried to say something Jorge came back.
"Before I forget. We don't need your services anymore! The next clone you can threw into the trash directly if he is a failure again. But send him to me if he is okay. I need a new pool-boy!" Jorge said and left.
"I swear you... I would never do that If they..."
"Shh... I believe you! Come to me!" she whispered and the doctor sneaked to her. But because the chain he was still 3 feet away of her when she whispered further. "Your daughter is safe! She is in a magical-police-station. She is okay!"
"Oh... my... gosh... that relieves me! They said that she is thier hostage!" the professor said.
"You where working about something with transplanting organs, right?" she asked quiet.
"Yes! I was working on cloning single organs of patients. Like a hearth or a liver! And I was ready. I succeed in cloning the hearth of a sick 40 years old man. I wanted to publish my results on the congress in Los Angeles." the doctor told.
"But they kidnapped you before..."
In the hospital, Jonny and Grant found out the same above Professor Palmer. Now Jonny's theory was confirmed: "The want to clone Sal and Andrew!"
"Why?" Grant asked confused. "Why should someone do that?"
"I have no clue!" Jonny said and left with Grant the hospital.
Andrew meanwhile, followed the leprechaun threw the office building. All over the people looked on him, of course because they recognized him. Andrew was afraid. He was alone in a building full of magical-creatures and had no clue what will happen now.
"If you hire me to promote you in the magical-world you can be sure that you have the best." the leprechaun said and pointed on a wall full of photos. "This are all famous people who are working with us!"
Andrew knowed nobody of the people on the photos. All where magicals. Just one person he recognized: his cousin. From a old photo from 1984.
"Hey, that is my cousin! Your agency managed her?"
"Yes, she won the Magivision Songfestival 1984 here in Monterey. Oh, she looked wonderful on that evening. And she got 12 points from 10 other contries you have to imagine that... but well, let's go upstairs. I want to show you our studios." the leprechaun said and together they wait for the elevator.
Sal meanwhile walked with Nathalie across the streets. After they walked two times around the block they arrived Nathalie's car again. When they talked they they didn't found an answer for thier problems. When they stood there and several other people stare on them Sal knowed that they needed a place to talk alone above them. On the other side of the street was a small restaurant.
"Are you hungry? I invite you! There we can talk!" Sal said and pointed on the little Russian restaurant.
She agreed and together they entered the small restaurant where the two people inside where so astonished above the prominent visitor that one of them let a plate fall. Quiet both sat down on a table far away from the window.
"You where alone with him the whole time, right?" Sal asked.
"No, I wasn't alone. My parents helped me. And my brother and his wife, too. They already had two children. Paul's 'relationship' with his cousins is not very good. And he has less friends. Well, many people think that he is crazy... He is... like you!" his former fiancee said and became red.
"I can imagine that it was not easy for you to educate him alone..." Sal said before the flash of a camera blend him.
"Isvinite, Mr. That's for our new VIP guest's wall!" the waitor who took the photo said and handed each of them a menu before he walked with the camera back to the other man. Sal turned to Nathalie again.
"Hm... when we ate something we will feel better. And we have enough time to talk, alone!" Sal said before more and more people entered the restaurant to stare on him. Sal and Nathalie where annoyed. "If you don't want to eat something here... they will threw you out!"
Immediately all people sat down and lift their hands to order something. But all still stared on Sal...
At the same time, Paul arrived on a big square near a old historic church somewhere in the district Pacific Grove. Around the square where big old buildings. Many people walked across the scene. It was 11:45 am now and the bell in the clocktower of the church rang three times. Paul sat down on a bench and looked around. Because they where on a small hill he could see very wide. Than he start to think about that what happend.
Slowly he start to relalize that the reaction of his father was normal. He would react maybe on the same way. When he thinked about it he could hear a rumor...
All over the city the ground vibrated... Dish and furniture start to tremble...
Just less people realized it. Jonny and Grant stood in front of the psychatric hospital and looked on a map. With a pencil Jonny marked the areas they already searched. Jake meanwhile, took his mobile and tried to call his wife again. He still hadn't contact with her. She was still bind up and listened to the professor.
"I have no clue who the person is I have to clone for thier plan. I just got DNA, from hairs." the professor told. "The race-driver was just a experiment. Another clone is working for them in the garden or something else. 16 clones died during thier creation."
"It's dangerous righ?" she asked.
"Yes, cloning a full human is too dangerous. The clone you saw is dumb, the other one is deaf! An the clone which is growning inside this thing will be sick too. I know that. I don't know why I have to clone him but it must have something to do with you!"
"Yes, If this is Sal or Andrew they maybe wanted to infiltrate my family. The hairs you got, are they short or curly or what that are for hairs?" she asked and the professor took the little plastic bag with the hairs.
"They are black and..."
"Black!" she asked shocked. If the hairs where black... the clone who was growning inside the mashine was not one of her cousins. But who was it...
Jake meanwhile, was really worried now. When he stood in the kitchen to drink something he saw the dish tremble in the shelves again...
Jonny and Grant where still in front of the hospital when they saw a nurse talking with a mad man. The man, a cyclops from Los Angeles, was really mad because the patient who helped Sal and Andrew stole his car.
"We kindly apologize for that!" the nurse said and tried to calm down the cyclops who investigated the car for any damages. "He didn't knowed what he did!"
"I got a call from the police that this guy triggered two traffic-accidents with my car... I swear you, I won't pay for them."
"Is there a problem?" Jonny said and walked with Grant to the both fighting people to calm down the situation.
"Yes, one of thier crazies stole my car!" the cyclops said mad.
Jonny and Grant start to talk with them to safe the day for them.
"Listen,... I had a very hard day... And because they closed the road in the Sobranes Canyon, it was very difficult for me to come here.
"Wait which road they closed and why?" Jonny asked and showed the cyclopse the map. He pointed on a small road in the Sobranes Canyon.
"Like a wall they closed the road. There wasn't any sighn or a sightly reason why they should close this road." the man told them.
"I know a reason!" Grant said to Jonny.
In Monterey meanwhile Andrew walked with the leprechaun between all the studios in the 6th floor or the office building. From the studios they could hear all kinds of music. From Rock to Orchestra they could hear everything. Sal was with Nathalie in the restaurant just a few hundred yards away. Paul sat on the bench in front of the church and decide to apologize to his father. Jake was in the humans-world in the house of his wife's family and stared into the mirror in the bathroom. Aunt Mary and Uncle Sal watched the news.
"...that scientist are working very hard to find out the reason for the rising seismic activities across the coast. After the fortunately small tsunamis in Malibu and..." before the anchorman could finish the signal break off.
All over they could feel the earth start to quake. In the magical-world the warning-sirens start to howl. In the seismological institute the employes ran to the seismographs... the tremor was in the magical-world much harder than in the humans-world. Jake was in shock when the house start to quake and all interiour start to fall from the shelves. In the living room Aunt Mary and Uncle Sal hid in a door frame...
In the magical-world the earth quaked first less than became harder and harder. The people got in panic. Sal, Nathalie and other people in the restaurant hid under the tables. Others ran out...
Paul was thrown from the bench and layed on the ground before a street latern smashed to the ground just a few steps next to him. He tried to run away, but fall down after every step. The clocktower of the church fell over. In fear he ran away, before a panicly woman smashed on him and threw him down on the ground...
Andrew and the leprechaun hid under a door frame when the windows start to burst and parts of the celling fall down. People who where able to fly jumped out of the windows. Terrible noise filled the air. And than a thick cloud of dust shoot threw the building...
Jake and Grant, who entered the hospital again, fall down to the ground. In the hospital the patiens and the personal got in panic. When they hid under a table they pulled several people under the table too, to safe them. A water pipe broke...
Jonny's mother and the professor felt the earthquake to... but not as hard as all other people. Thier three hostage-takers too. They where just annoyed when the TV and the light's switched off...
All over Monterey and the area around the city the people where scared. Debris fell from houses... cars crashed... cables from trolleybuses fall down... fires break out... and on many places, buildings collapsed. When it was over a big cloud of dust and smoke was laying above the city. It was quiet, before sirens of police-cars and fire-trucks filled the air...
But in the humans-world, nothing serious happend!
