Chapter 10
Jake start to sink and land in the alleyway between two houses in Magical-Harlem. The sun start to grown up, he was tired, he didn't sleeped... but he had a mission... Philip, Pedro and Nancy jumped from his back and Jake transformed back into his human form before they walked to the street.
Magical-Harlem was a old city. With many old buildings, who all looking like from the 19th century. Jake thaugt: I'm in Europe. The suburbs looked like each other socialism citys with the big East-German apartment buildings. A bus with overhead lines drove above the street. The rest was quiet. No pedestrians and no traffic. Nancy looked on her watch: it was almost 5am now. Pedro looked on a street-map and saw that they where right. The adress was a night-club on the other street-side.
"A night-club? This is not looking like a terrorists-headquarter!" Jake said.
"Yes,... but every terrorist on this planet won't wrote on his door: 'here is the hideout of a terrorism-organisation' or something like this!" Philip said.
"Yes, you're right!" Jake said during he carefully looked threw the window.
Inside, he could see a troll-woman cleaning up the tables. The night-club closed just a half-hour ago, it smelled like fast-food and alcohol. Jake covered his hairs and he and the others entered the building. The troll-woman was surprised.
"O... American Dragon! Nice to meet you!" she said.
"Yes, hello! May I ask you some questions?" Jake said like a police-officer in a interrigation-room.
"Yes,... of course. But you have to excuse that I am very tired... we had more guests than normally last night. And my dear sister forgot to book that German girl who is singing above the satelite for the big act. Since she came back from Oslo she is not the same... I mean my sister." the woman told during she cleaned up the tables.
"Do you know a person on this list?" Jake asked and presented her the list he found in Jonny's locker.
The troll-woman looked very long on the list: "Sorry, I don't know anyone of them! Why?"
"We are searching someone! Was this person here?" Jake asked and presented the old photo of Brad Morton.
"Brad Morton? The war criminal? No... that's impossible... but last night there was something... maybe 2 hours ago during the act, a drunken wizard wanted to go to toilet. When he came back he was in panic and shouted that he saw Brad Morton entering our world... but nobody believed him, because the Worlds-Border-Patrol had to see him if he really entered our world. Behind the club is a world-portal to the humans-world."
"Where is that portal?" Philip asked.
"Oh... you have to be thatone he want to introduce... well you have to go threw the door back, next to this building is a alleyway, follow that to the parking lot and on the other side, behind the fence is the portal."
"Oh... thank you!" Philip said and leaved with the other's the shop. "Why everyone tell's me something about introducing?" he asked himself before they walked above the parking lot and arrived the fence.
On the other side of the fence, two security guards protected the portal. A car stopped in front of it and a young human leaved it. Jake listened what they said.
"Good morning! Name and reason for travelling into the humans-world?" the guard asked.
They boy said his name and said that he is working in the humans-world. Than he entered his car again and drove threw the portal. On the other side he will enter the humans-world in a hidden place so that no human see him. The other guard was talking with a vampire who entered the magical-world and listened them too.
"... and where you bought that blood?" the guard asked and hold a bottle of dog-blood in his hand. "And tell me the truth, you know that it is prohibited to buy blood in the humans-world from humans and smuglle that! And remember that you are under a truth potion!"
"Yes,... I bought it from a human! And no, it was the first time and I covered my face. And no he didn't followed me." the vampire said sad. "But the blood-prices grown rapidly here and I haven't drunk anything for almost 2 months..."
Jake was pretty sure, if Brad really walked threw this portal, the guards had to see and capture him. Was the wizard really just drunken? Jake lost his last trace. But than the troll-woman from the night-club ran above the parking lot.
"American-Dragon! Good that I found you... during I was tidy up I found this between the waste!" she said and gived Jake a little piece of paper.
On the paper was a time standing: 3am and 3.20am with the adress of the portal. That must had the times when the guards where away or too busy. Jake had no clue. But maybe Brad entered really this world and leaved it threw the portal again.
"That's it! Thank you!" Jake said to her and turned to the others. "He is not here! He leaved the magical-world threw the portal again, look at the times..."
"That means he is in humans-world Harlem!" Pedro said.
What nobody of them knowed was that Brad was now somewhere on Long Island and drove very fast above the highway. In the car-boot was Jake's wife laying now unconcious. Miles away, in the warehouse, Jonny, Grant and her both cousins where still escaped by Brad's helpers. Jonny was also unconcious.
"Hey, you... why do you do that?" Grant asked angrilly a hooded person with a gun which stood a few metres away. He or she, didn't answered... but Grant could see something in his neck. It was small, but he could see it. A little black mind-controller. All four guards had one. "Hey, listen you don't want to do that... he is controlling you... but you have your own mind!"
The other ones still didn't answered.
Outside the warehouse, just one block away, Jake and the others arrived back in the humans-world.
"Okay, guys... it's somewhere here!" Jake said and looked around. "I know Brad... he is looking for something what nobody will enter freely, and in this part of the city is easy to find."
"An empty building!" Nancy said.
"Yes. It's something big. Brad is to greedy to use something small!"
"Like a warehouse!" Pedro said and pointed on a old abadoned building with weak lights in the windows.
"There!" Jake said and carefully they sneaked to the building. It began to rain again. On a parking lot they saw some skidmarks from a car. Someone was driving away very fast, Philip realized with his profiler skills. Carefully they looked threw a window and where shocked.
There they are. Jonny, Grant and two men Jake didn't knowed. Around them, four armed and dark clouthed guys. On the other side was an empty cage. And next to Jonny was a big stone of spinx-hair laying. Carefully they sneaked back.
"Sphinx-hair... where he got that? That substance is prophibited in both worlds!" Pedro said shocked.
"With that shpinx-hair I can't fly into the building. We need a plan, a good one, to surpise them!" Jake said. "We need something what will lock them out of the building."
"I have an idea! Philip said.
Meanwhile, in Jake's world:
Lao Shi and Jonathan still waited for more results. The wife of the Irish-wizard brought them tea. But for Jonathan that need to long time.
"Listen... we are worried. How long do you need to open the portal again?" Jonathan asked.
The wizard answered and the Irish one translated: "He said that he can open the portal imediately! But than you will land 6 days in the other worlds past. An than you will land here in Ireland. He just need a hour more to find out where your son is and open the portal there."
"Okay, sorry!" Jonathan said and sat down again.
At the same time:
Philip walked with a around the warehouse. Than he found it: the energy-control-panel. Jake ripped with his dragon-powers the lock away and than they saw the big switches.
"Okay, when I switch off the light you can enter the building and surprise them." he explained.
"Yes, but the shpinx-hair...?" Jake wanted to ask but Philip presented him a pill he got from his backpack.
"Use this! It will help you for 15 seconds. I found it in the cubboard in your bathroom. This pill safes you from the shpinx-hair. But just for 15 seconds, take it into your mouth, when you see the lights switching off swallow it... not before!" Philip explained and Jake took the little white-shining pill.
When Jake walked away he stopped and turned back to Philip: "Thank you! For a knower with status A you know very much!"
Philip smiled: "Yes, thanks. Fortunately, I'm a little bit like my classmates: I don't listen when someone is prohibit me something... Okay, in 30 seconds! And we have to be ready in 5 minutes, than the magical-world police will arrive here. I called them."
"Good!" Jake said and sneaked back to Nancy and Pedro who waited on the big door. "Okay, when the lights switch off we enter it, but quietly."
Both agreed and they waited. Threw the window they could see that Grant angrily talked with one off the guards but nobody of them react. Like statues they stood there, don't moving and don't talking.
Than the light switched off. Jake smashed the door open and swallowed the pill. All three sneaked into the building. Jake saw the white shining stone on Jonny's handcuffs and threw it away. The shpinx-hair land outside the building in a open manhole. Jake transformed and smashed with his tail against two of the guards. The both humans shouted. Something happend. When the light switched on again. All four guards layed in a corner of the warehouse. Jake transformed back and surprised the others.
"J...J... Jake?" Grant said shocked. "Pedro, Nancy... Philip?" he said when Philip also entered the building.
Jake cut the ropes with his claws and escaped all four hostages. Jonny slowly woke up and saw his young father.
"Dad, are you that?"
"Yes," Jake said. "In this world, I am!"
Than Jonny wake up totally and realized what was going on here. But than all where scared when the four guards stood up again and walked closer to them.
"Oh, no guys the American-Dragon...'s are showing you know what it means to capture us... Hhhhmmm...?" Jonny was confused when the guards just walked back to thier last position and than did nothing.
All others where also very confused. Grant walked carefully a few steps left to see the little mind-controllers in the necks of the guards.
"Aww... that are GTF-300 mind-controlers!" he said loud and walked closer to the guy. He winked with the arm in front of the face of the guard and he still didn't react. "That wasn't neccessary to fight! They are focused on that stupid cage."
"What do you mean?" Jake asked confused.
"Before Morton leaved the building he gived to order to keep an eye on the cage. The GTF mind-controller series has many mistakes, if you understand what I mean..." Grant said and ripped away the mind-controler from the guards neck who fall asleep imediately.
During he did the same with the other ones, Jonny looked around and was shocked to see Nancy standing next to him. "Aww... Nancy! Nancy, I can explain..."
"Ahw... forget it! I'm just happy that you are okay!" she said and huged him. "But, never... never lie on me again!"
Philip looked on the both other knowers who stood confused behind them. "Hey, I think I know you..." Philip said to one of them. "Oh... my gosh you are that guy from the TV-series... where so often explode something?"
"Yes!" the man answered short.
"May, I have your autograph?" Philip asked.
"Philip... we have more important things to do. Morton kidnapped mom!" Jonny said and everyone was shocked.
"WHAT?" Jake asked scared.
"He said he will let her free... but after a short trip above the Atlantic-Ocean!"
"Oh, my gosh! We have to hurry, I explain you later why I am here!" Jake said.
Before they all ran out of the building the magical-police arrived. A couple of magical-creatures entered the building and where shocked to see two American-Dragons. Now they had a problem.
"Ehmmm...he is a chi-dobbleganger!" Jonny lied and pointed on Jake who winked.
The police-officers start to carry away the assistants of Brad, and presented thier faces. All where shocked when they saw that all four where the same people who where found dead in the humans-world. The same people from the list in Jonny's locker.
"So Brad imagined thier dead and used them as tools." Jake said.
"What do you know about that?" Jonny asked fast.
"I will explain you that during the flight!"
At the same time, Brad Morton arrived with his hostage a little airfield outside the city. He stopped the combi in front of a Learjet which was loaded by a woman: Olivia Mears!
"And?" she asked when she saw him.
"Everything okay! They will never leave that warehouse alive. And, is the plane ready?"
"Yes, filled totally with enough explosive to destroy a entire city!" she said happily. "But when the building is exploding, that would be enough! I hope Haley is inside it when it happens!"
Years ago, during the war, Olivia made a deal with the huntsclan to tell them everything she knows above magical-creatures, if she finds out something. Later she found out the truth above a wizard-family who runned a restaurant in Midtown. But instead of telling the huntsclan she blackmailed the whole family on a terrible way. After more than 6 weeks she told the huntsclan above them. They threw a bomb from a helicopter. The explosion killed more than 150 humans, including Grant's mother.
This terrorism attack was a point of inflection in the war. The humans began to hate the huntsclan. After the war, when Haley returned from the islands she found out what Olivia did and betrayed her to the magical-police. Olivia was arrested. For the magical-world, she was responsible for the dead of that 150 humans and 7 wizards. Oliva found out in this days that Haley was a dragon and survived the war on the islands with her Russian boyfriend.
Haley married him in February 1997 and moved with him to Magical-St. Petersburg in Russia. Oliva found out after her escape from the magical-prison that Haley is now living in Magical-Moscow and her husband is working in the United-Magical-World-Building.
"And you are sure that that will working?" Oliva asked Brad.
"Trust me! This airplane is comming from the humans-world. Of course, I will jump out before I enter the magical-world. That the plane hits the building and destroy it. And the whole magical-world will think that the humans attacked them. And than we just have to make that little terrorism-attack I planed in Washington D.C. and than we have a beautiful new war..."
"But after the humans-world attacked the monster-islands in 2002 it didn't happend: the new war! The magical-world cursed that town in Germany and that was everything." Olivia said annoyed.
Oliva was talking above the 'Two-Days-War' of 2002 between Germany and the magical-world. The magical-comunities of Germany, Austria and Switzerland where abadoned since the war 1995. But a dragon-woman send her son from the Draco's Islands to his human-father to the humans-world. He had no memory on the war and no clue that he is a dragon. The boy was misthreated by his father and terribly bullied by his teacher and his classmates. The boy who thaught that he is a human discovered his powers and flee from his home-town who everyone hated him because a contender auction of the teacher.
The humans than thaught that he is a monster, send by the magical-world to kill them and they start to hunt him. The teacher called the army and than two jets attacked Guangseng. Three rockets explode in the city part of Bejlidger. 70 people died (including 40 human-children). Fortunately the couverment found out what the teacher and the father did and stopped the auction. Both where arrested, and the town was world-famous as 'bully-town'! The magical-world stopped for more than two years all agreements with the humans. Just after the dead of the second American-Dragon in 2004 the situation calmed down after the news told that the dragon wanted to safe children from the roof of a burning house. The boy meanwhile forgived his mother, who didn't knowed what happend with her son. Later the world found out that the teacher knowed what the father did with his son and didn't called the police because the mother was his 'ex-girlfriend'!
"Oh... please Oliva! Okay, I heared above the 'two-days-war'. But this is more. This is not just a boy who is bullied by a teacher and beated by his father. I'm talking about big explosions... blackmailing and and and..."
"My last blackmail auction send me to prison for the rest of my life!" Oliva said now more annoyed. "By the way, I saw the news... the police found out that the blood in the Lada was not from this Portugese friend of the dragon!"
"That's not bad... that was just a test. Now both worlds have stress..." Brad said and opened the car-boot where Mrs. Long was laying.
"And what do you want with her?"
"I want to ..." Brad said but closed the car boot so that she will not hear them. "I threw her out above the ocean! That is my reverenge for my headache!" Brad said and opened the car-boot again to get her.
She screamed and tried to escape but there where enough ropes around her to bind up 10 people. Brad carried her to the plane and laughed.
