Chapter 7
When Jake saw the unconcious boy laying in his living-room, he was shocked. Pedro... the best friend of his 'son' is found. But what happend with him. Jake took Pedro's arms and lift him to lay him on the couch. Nancy and Phillip helped Jake and Pedro layed now on the couch.
"Is he dead?" Nancy asked worried.
"No,... he is breathing!" Jake said after he hold his hand in front of Pedro's face. "He is not injured! Pedro!... Pedro, wake up! Wake up!"
Pedro opened his eyes slowly and closed them again. Than he stammered something in Portugese.
"What did he said?" Philip asked.
"Who knows! Helloooo... Olá... Acordem!... Was that right?" Jake asked.
"You speaking Portugese?" Philip asked.
"My father had some buisiness guests from Brazil and he learned a few words to impress them!" Jake said during Pedro finally opened his eyes and start to shout.
"Awww... god help me!" he shouted.
Jake hold his hand above Pedro's mouth and hold him on the couch. "Hey... calm down... look at me, remember me?"
Pedro looked on Jake and recognized him. Finally he calmed down and stoped screaming after he remembered where he was. He was in the house of his best friend with Jake, who he knowed, Nancy and this boy.
"What happend?" Jake asked.
"Please what?" Pedro asked back.
"What happend? You, Jonny and Grant are missing! The police found your wallet in a car full with blood... and your parents are missing you!" Nancy told.
"What, O my gosh... yes, I remember...!"
FLASHBACK
Two days ago! Jonny and Grant are standing in front of Pedro's house and rang the door bell. A few moments later, a around 17-years-old boy opened the door.
"Hi, Tiago! Is your brother at home?" Grant asked.
"Yes, wait a moment!" the boy said and than Pedro appeared at the door.
"Hi, are you ready?" Jonny asked.
"Yes... MOM, I go with Jonny and Grant to Manhattan. I'll be back on time!" Pedro yelled into the house and than all three walked across the streets to the subway.
In the last day's after they travelled into Jake's world they often walked threw the magical-world and showed and explained Pedro everything. They could prevent all what happend and now they had enough free time. After they drove to Manhattan and walked threw the gate to the magical-world they walked above the Magnus-Bazaar. The oldest part of Magical-Manhattan. The most people greet them. All over tourists from all over the world to see the magical-worlds most famous bazaar.
"...they come from Russia, China, Austrailia... and all over the world. New York is very popular..." Jonny told during they walked above the place.
What they didn't knowed was that someone observed them from a roof. The person looked threw a pair of binoculars and than took some photos of the three boys. He walked down the stairs and walked to an parked car in a dark alleyway. Another person sat in the small car and waited for him.
"And?"
"Yes, he is here! But this other boys are with him!"
"And the diversion...?"
"Is running!"
The three boys where walking across the square before someting fall from the sky and hit Grant on the head.
"Awww..." Grant shouted before he fall down. Jonny and Pedro could see that it was a dead heavy bird.
"Grant are you okay?" Jonny asked when he and Pedro helped Grant to stand up. Grant had a big bloody scratch on his forehead. "Let's go into the bar!"
Together they entered the Scoop. The same cafe Jake and his friends visited sometimes in thier own world, and the 'this-world' Jake often visited years ago. They sat on a table and a young human-girl who worked there as a waitress asked what happend.
"Get the first-aid-kit!" Jonny said short and the girl disappeared behind the bar.
Outside the building, the people walked further and where shocked when they saw a small red car crashing into a market-stand. Jonny and his friends leaved the house to see what happend, in that moment nobody looked on them something grabeled them and the next they know was that they sat bind up in the load room of a van.
"What happend, where are we?" Pedro asked scared.
"...dragon up!... DRAGON UP!" Jonny shouted but he couldn't transform. The rope was made of sphinx hair.
"SHUT UP!" the driver shouted threw the wall. They could feel that they drove very fast above a road. Outside they could hear other traffic. After a few minutes Pedro could releave a hand and looked for something which is also in this load room. After he could relieve his other hand he helped Jonny and Grant.
"What's going on here? Who are this people?"
"I don't know! But they must have many problems when they kidnap three inoncent boys..." Grant said.
"SHUT UP... you are not inoncent!" the driver shouted before he breaked and parked the van on a parking lot next to the highway. In that moment, Pedro could feel a disk or something else on the floor and took it. The driver leaved the car and just a second later the door's opened and a big brown bag with three crying people flew into the load room. In that moment Pedro jumped out of the van and ran away. But before Jonny and Grant could follow him, the door's closed and the van raced away.
"Let him go, we have who we want!" a other person shouted.
Pedro ran into the woods. He was shocked when he heared that and saw how the white big delivery van with a licence-plate from the Magical-Republic of Tennessee drove away. Pedro was scared, he had no clue where he was. But he was sure that he was somewhere in the magical-world. On the parking-lot was no other car. But he saw a map on the other side. It was a highway map of Magical - New York. The whole East-Coast and the area around the big seas and the border to Canada, til the Dakotas where part of New York.
The states around the Gulf of Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennesse and Kansas where the Republic of Tennessee. The rest, the West-Coast and the Rocky Mountains where the Republic of Califonia. Pedro could see a big red point on the map with the words 'you are here'. He was in Maryland, near the border to Delaware. Than he saw a car parking near him on the parking-lot. A man jumped out of the dark-blue Lada and entered the toilet. Pedro followed him...
"Mr... Please, you have to help me." Pedro stammered but was afraid. What if this man was a part of the gang... "I missed my bus... and now I'm trapped here. May I drive with you?" he lied.
The blonde wizard smiled. "Yes, if you are on the way to Manhattan it's okay."
"Yes,... yes... Manhattan, that's okay." Pedro said and a few minutes later they sat in the car again and drove above the magical-highway. It looked like a normal-humans-world road. Just with other cars and drivers. They talked very long for the next two hours.
"And you are a transformed-werewolf?" the wizard asked after 80 miles and saw the healed bite-wound on Pedro's right shoulder.
"Hmm... Oh yes, since almost two years. And you?"
"I'm a birth wizard! I'm on the way to Manhattan to visit my son. My human-wife and I... it didn't worked." the wizard told.
Hours passed and it became evening. They talked very long above wheater, sports other cultures and other things. Both didn't saw that a other dark-blue Lada followed them for hours. But than short time before they arrived New Yersey the wizard stopped the car and turned to Pedro.
"Okay, and now tell me the truth!" the wizard said and shocked Pedro. Both already didn't saw that the other car parked behind them.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you see this ear?" the wizard said and pointed on his left ear. "Since that day I accidenty got some truth potion into it, it is a very good polygraph! And I remember your face, I saw your picture in a newspaper from 2006. You are a friend of Jonathan Long!"
"Yes,... the truth is... they are kidnapped. I have to call the police, but I was afraid that you where a part of the gang who did that."
"What... the American-Dragon is kidnapped and you don't say it."
"You arrived just 10 seconds after the kidnappers drove away... I was afraid." Pedro shouted. But before the wizard could get his mobile something hit the car. A energy beam. Both jumped out of the car. But Pedro fall down a slope next to the highway and land between some bushes. Althouth he was far away... he could hear and see anything...
"What did he told you?" a hooded man asked angrily. "Aww... just forget it!" he shouted again and sprayed something into the wizards face who started to became confused and walked away like a zombie. "He remembers nothing! But we lost this boy again."
"Boss... look a wallet!" a other person said and presented him the wallet of Pedro he found on the passenger seat. Pedro was scared. His pockets where empty, he also lost the disk in the car. "I can't see anything else!" Pedro was relieved. The disk seemed important, they shoudn't get it back.
"Okay, take the car to the humans-world. Let's make the American-Dragon unpopular..." the hooded man said and laughed evil. Than he take a box with six-bottles. Full of blood. "Park the car far away from here in the humans-world and drop this above the seats. Everywhere will think the magical-world killed a inoncent human-boy...hahahaha... And now GO!" he shouted.
Pedro ran away. He was scared. He couldn't trust anyone. But than he got an idea. His werewolf-powers. In the bottle in Jonny's headquarter. Than he can enter the magical-world alone and contact the police. But what happens if the kidnappers find out that the magical-world knows that they are kidnapped. Will they kill them? Pedro just ran... for hours before he arrived humans-world New Yersey...
FLASHBACK ENDS
"...and than I carefully came here!" Pedro finished his story. "I haven't drunk or eat anything since that and I was so tired that I..."
"It's okay..." Philip said and gived Pedro a glass of water.
"You are Philip right? Jonny told me about you... Is that true that one of your classmates is arrested because he dealed with Ecstasy?" Pedro asked.
"No... it was Mariuhana!" Philip answered short.
"Who where this guys?" Jake asked. "They also burglarized here... they stole everything. Also your powers... or did you get them back?"
"No... it... was planed that I get them back tomorrow when the 'bad-energy' is away... If they open it before the liquid becomes golden, I will transform into a evil-lycan..." Pedro said shocked.
"You are a werewolf?" Nancy asked astonished and shocked.
"What does she doing here?" Pedro asked confused.
"I explain you that later..." Jake said and told him everything what happend since he was here in this world. And also that what he knowed about the list in Jonny's locker and the disk they found in the car of the wizard. And the visit in Danika's apartment.
"Her husband is alive! But I looked like... like he lost his brain!" Pedro told after he remembered what he saw. "But this list... your son is not a very properly person, but I have never see it in his locker... But they said something about... made him unpopular!"
"Do you mean they want to expose him?" Jake asked.
"Maybe!"
"Aww... maaannn..." Jake shouted.
"Wow, that sond exactly like Jonny's aw man!" Nancy said.
"Okay... first we should find out what is on this disk. Is there a computer here?" Jake asked.
"Yes, in Jonny's room!" Philip said and all walked upstairs and entered Jonny's room.
Jake looked around in the room of his 'son'. It was untidy. All over layed clouthes and papers. Even a moneybox layed broken on the floor. And the computer was on. It looked like someone searched something in this room.
"They where here, too!" Jake said and looked on the walls. Posters and pictures where ripped away from the walls because the burglars looked behind them. Jake could see on the damaged posters that his 'son' was a icehockey-fan and also a big fan of Shaniqua! "Hey, we like the same music!" Jake said before he looked further.
"He hadn't any magical-stuff in his room. He told me that!" Philip said and sat down on the running computer and put the disk into it. What they found on the disk confused them all... Blueprints of a building, all in Russian-Language, and some photos. Jake saw that the people on the photos where his classmates, but now they where adults. And also he saw pictures of thier familys. Than a picture of an adult Jake from 2006, his wife stood with the face away from the camera and talked angrilly with the adult Stacey Wintergrin. On the banner above them Jake read: Class of 1986!
"That are pictures from our live and from the lives of my former classmates. Thier familys and all we know... But what are this blueprint's meaning?" Jake asked before a picture of the building appeared.
"Oh my gosh... that is the building of the United-Magical-World in Moscow! That's the magical-version of the United Nations in the humans-world. Jonny showed me a photo of it. Wait a moment...!" Philip said and ran downstairs to take a hidden photo-album from behind the bookshelv in the living-room. He came back and presented Jake a photo from 1984.
Jake saw himself, standing in front of the building. "That is from your first trip to the Soviet-Union in 1984. That's in the magical-world! You... 'your-other-you' told me that this is one of the safest buildings in the magical-world. When they found thier organisation in 1931, they wanted to unite the whole world. Like the UNO. In this building many deputys from all over the magical-world hold meetings."
Jake looked on the pictures from the magical and the humans-world Soviet Union and tried to understand thier plans.
"Okay... they kidnapp the American-Dragon, and plan to expose him... but If they plan a terrorism-attack in Moscow... why they didn't kidnapped the Russian-Dragon? And why they observe 'my family'?"
"That's the million-dollar-question!" Nancy said. "But... I think I have an Idea why..." Nancy said.
FLASHBACK
2 months ago! Jonny and Nancy are sitting in a restaurant. Thier second date! The wheater was perfect, it was quiet and nobody disturbed them.
"Jonny, that is a wonderful evening. Why do you don't tell me a little bit more about your family?" Nancy asked.
"Okay,... mom's parents died when she was 6 and than she grew up with her uncle, her aunt and her both cousins in Monterey. And than she moved to her other uncle here in New York and..."
"I mean your father! You tell me so often about him that he is a big hero. But I don't know why?" Nancy asked.
Jonny was afraid. He couldn't tell his girlfriend that his father is living in Guangseng and is working as a co-pilot for an airline which is not allowed to land in the humans-world. But before he said anything another boy entered the restaurant and greeted him. The dragon of Central-Russia.
"Privet kollega... how are you!" the russian boy asked with a strong accent. "Privet krassivaja shenshina!" (Hello beautiful girl!) he said to Nancy. "Sorry that I.. disturbing... a itt is very important! I have to talk with you!" the boy said and Jonny stand up to follow him to the toilets.
Nancy just saw how the both boys disappeared behind a curtain. Than she could hear them talking. She didn't understand anything... it sound like they speak a mix of Chinese, Russian and Arabian. Than Jonny came back to the table. The other boy leaved the restaurant, he looked worried...
"Who was that?" Nancy asked.
"Just a old friend!" Jonny said and drunk his water.
FLASHBACK ENDS
"...this boy... maybe they talked in Dracon, he was afraid. Maybe that is the reason... The attack is planed in Russia, but Jonny found out to much here in America, or the terrorists are American..." Nancy said.
"And you are sure?" Philip asked.
"Yes, this boy was Russian!" she answered.
"Did he had blonde hairs and had a scar under his left ear?" Pedro asked.
"I think yes... yes he was blone! Why?"
"Jonny, told me about this boy... the dragon of Central-Russia! He is dead!"
