Unknown Powers Chapter 10
Horatio walked away from Calliegh and Ryan. He headed down the hall where he went to talk to Aaron, to see if he had figured out what their strange fiber was. He walked into the room and Aaron looked up at him.
"Do you have anything on the fiber yet?" Horatio asked.
"Not much." he said. "It seems to be made from a soft metal and a plant that Ive never seen before."
"A soft metal?" Horatio asked.
"Yeah, some kind of platnum or iron. I can't really place it. It seems like whoever this is, doesn't live in anyplace we know of." said Aaron.
"Alright! Will you take the fiber to trace. Maybe we can get something off of it there." said Horatio.
"Yeah!" he said. There was a burst of wind and Aaron was gone. Then another burst of air, and just as fast as he went he was back.
"Did you take that fiber to trace?" Horatio asked.
"Yeah! Did you need something else?" Aaron asked confused.
"How fast would you say you were going?" asked Horatio.
"I don't know! What do you mean Horatio?" asked Aaron.
"Run to the front of the lab and back here. Check the time when you leave and when you get back." said Horatio.
"What?" said Aaron.
"Just do it for me." said Horatio.
"Ok!" he said. There was a burst of air, and he was gone. As before there was another burst of air and he was back again. He looked at the clock and shock fell over his face. "How did I make it back here that fast?" he asked.
"Im afraid I can't answer that question, but I need you to try to control running around the lab that fast." said Horatio leaving. Aaron just looked back at him in surprise.
By this point he was used to the strange things happening to everyone in the lab, but he still could not explain how all of this started happening. He watched as many people walked by, most not even looking up to see where they were going.
"Horatio!" came a voice behind him. He turned around and could not see anyone there.
"Valera?" he said guessing.
"Yes! You can't see me?" she asked.
"No, but give me what youve got." he said.
"The fiber that came from the crime scenes wasn't like any other fiber. The components look as if they are made from materials we don't know about. I couldn't find anything that is going to help us." she said suddenly becoming visable again. She looked down at herself and conteued. "The good news is that looking at this material it seems that this is man made, so whoever has it is probably the only one in the world with this material."
"That is good news." said Horatio. Calleigh, Ryan, and Eric came walking down the hall.
"Sara's parents agree to keep Sara here for a while, but I don't know how much longer they will be willing to cooperate." said Calleigh.
"Hopfully long enough." said Horatio. He looked at the entrance to the lab where a large man wearing blue pants and no shirt came in. He walked in and saw Horatio.
"Where's the girl?" he asked in a harsh tone. He readied a ball of lightning in his hand. Horatio stepped forward.
"What girl?" Horatio asked. This just made the man angry and he threw the ball of lightning at Horatio. It hit him in the chest, but it only burned his clothes. The man stood up straight and gave Horatio a strange look.
