Chapter 40 - CHAPTER 40

I took the carving out of my pocket . Marge looked at it for a while before taking it in her hands , covering it fully . The carving was glowing in her hand brightly . We were astonished and happy when we finally saw her strenuous face containing pain turn into a happy one . "This is my carving ! How did you find it ?" She was smiling so wide , I hadn't seen her smile like that even in the photos she posted on social media.

"You don't have to worry about that , we can hear the rest of the story after we bring the culprit back . " I didn't want to explain more to them because then I would only be giving more time for Warner to escape . I called for dad . "Dad , I need your mission agent Jaden to be ready when I come home ." It sure had been some time since we went out for missions together and I was feeling excited .

I reached home and he was indeed ready to go . I had Nathaniel's car so I had to promise myself not to destroy it . "Hey Rene . Ready for tonight ?" He asked when he entered the car . "I sure am !" I sped the car up to it's limit and drove fast before starting my spell , "Ut me ad Warner, male operans!" I chanted the same thing ever and over again until a blue and purple coloured portal opened in front of the car .

"He's going to pay for what he had done !" I drove into the portal , not aware of someone watching me from my house . I had gone through the portal without much of a hesitation because I didn't want him to change his place fast . If he went out of country , I would never be able to find him because my magic isn't that strong .

We were luckily right on time and found ourselves at the airport . That bastard was actually trying to run away from us . Since we had no passport , or tickets with us , Jaden had to mind control them into thinking that we had shown them every document that they'd wanted to see from us . The fact that cameras would see us made me go through Nathaniel's car to find his car documents . I took them and acted like I was showing it to the security so that the camera didn't film dad's powers .

Before I could warn him about the cameras , he went straight in . It was sunday , and Christmas so it was only natural for the airport to be crowded but this was a huge disadvantage for me because I couldn't possibly warn him about anything , as well as get into an air plane because I was sure that each one would be packed .

I looked around the airport with doubtful eyes . Where was I going to find Warner among a crowd this big ? Since I didn't want him to leave , I decided that it was time to use my powers again . Clenching my fists , I concentrated hard , making me hear my heart beat through my ears , and slowed the time . I ran around , looking for Warner and I did find him . I grabbed Jaden and bought him to the flight that I saw Warner was walking into and instantly made everything go back to normal . He understood what happened in a jiffy .

"Ahhhhh... So you finally found him . " I was about to walk into the flight when the flight attendant asked us for our tickets . We COULD go unnoticed if everyone was so busy with themselves right ? I was wrong though . Families had started lining up behind us and waiting for us to move that they were fully concentrated on why we were still there . I could've moved us inside swiftly but with all their eyes on us , we'd obviously get caught .

And also I would've tried covering Jaden up but I wasn't as tall as him . I was yet again forced to use magic to let us escape . "omnibus hominibus qui circum me tunc iterum adiuro te ut obliviscatur V minuta!" I spelled to make them forget the next 5 minutes of their lives .

Everybody became silent , as in space . There wasn't a single sound to be heard and we raced off into the plane and found Warner sitting in one of the seats , with headphones in his ears , listening to music . He was a human too ? He was staring into space too and hadn't looked up from the moment we stepped in . I had spelled that only humans would be affected but I thought that he wasn't a human.

I caught him by his collar to take him to the car before the 5 minutes would be over but he was awake and was obviously not a human ."Let go of me , you brat!" it was only then that he looked around and realised what was going on , with eyes wide open , and his face as pale as my bed sheet .

Both Jaden and I simply had to laugh at his face , felling sorry for the attempt of escape he did . We tried taking him back again but e had grasped the situation faster than we thought and started attacking us .

Unfortunately , the time limit had finished and I failed to noticed because I was in between the fight too . The other passengers had started getting in and were staring at all three of our positions . We immediately stopped and tried our best to blend in with the crowd and sat next to Warner's seats .

The most unwanted thing happened next . As expected , the actual ticket owners of the seats me and Jaden were sitting in , came at us . "These are our seats ! Can't you read your own tickets ! " We couldn't get caught by the police because one , I couldn't use my powers since I was indeed overusing it too much and two , we couldn't get caught by the air hostess without tickets because then , we would be caught .

It didn't take long for the air hostess to come towards the ruckus inside the air plane . "Sir , madam, would you please show us your tickets ?" Both me and Jaden sat there , feeling doomed when help came from the most unexpected person ever. "Here they are . " It was Warner .
