Searching and searching “why can’t I find them?” that was all that I could think to myself. After searching for days, I decided to sit down and start from the beginning, where had I gone wrong? They had to be around here somewhere, but where? I lit up a cigarette and sat down on the cheap bed of a cheap motel. Then out of nowhere everything made sense. Everything clicked, I knew where I could find them. I suddenly knew how to stop the genius from attacking the chosen ones. I closed my eyes and I was back into the real world. “He’s in school!” I thought to myself. I ran to Saint Peter’s High School, ran through security and into room 139.There he was sleeping. I shook him hard and he started waking up. “Wake up man, come on”. He finally opened his eyes, staring at me frantically. “Who are you?” he said with a puzzled expression. “We have no time, I’ll explain on our way, let’s go!” I grabbed his hand, and closed my eyes. We were back in the dream world. “Okay stop!” he looked at me and shook his hand off of mine. “How did you do that?” “I am a dream-chaser” I said “For generations, the CIA has been trying to capture an madman by the name Oleg Stanovich. He has been a part of the top five most wanted list for the most dangerous men for the past ten years. You and your friend are his next victims, com with me, and together we can stop him. We need to go to your friend, he’s in danger. Can you take me to him?” He looked at me with a blank expression; I then realized that he had woken up and was back in the real world. “Shit!” I closed my eyes, and went back to the real world. He was gone. “Dammit!” I closed my eyes and went back into the dream world. I knew that if I could find Liam, that Thomas would be right next to him. I sat on the bench at the park, and lit up another cig “(sigh)…where could they be?” My search was back to base one. Five minutes of smoking and a coffee later an idea came to mind. “I have to find them”. Thinking about how I could find them, I remembered that I had equipment that the CIA had given me, but I had never used them. Never would I use them, but this was a moment of desperation. I dug deep into my pocket and took out some shades. I threw on the glasses because they could identify anyone that had the same ability as me, to chase dreams. They were at a coffee shop across the map. I jumped in front of a taxi to stop it. I opened the door, jumped in and said “take me to 1699 Spruce St. If you get there in ten minutes i’ll tip you 100 dollars.” Once he heard that he stepped on the gas. Eleven minutes later, I looked at him “You’re a minute late.” I felt bad so I gave him 75 instead. “Wait here I told him.” I ran into the shop and looked around. “Shit, they are gone!” I put the glasses back on and they were still on the radar. A sigh of relief left my mouth. Shifting through the map, I saw that they were heading to the basement of the shop. I threw open the back door, and went down the alley way. I flicked open the door that lead to the basement, running down. I realized that I couldn’t see anything. I took out the flashlight that was on my keys. There they were, one with a hammer and the other with a bat. “Wait, wait you don’t want to do that” They both looked at me with anger. “What do you want from us?” they screamed. I then explained to them that I was here to help them. They didn’t want to believe it, but once I showed them that I could travel through dreams just like them, they began to trust me. I started telling them about Oleg, and how he wanted to chase them down in order to rule both the real world and the dream world. He was going to take their powers away in the most painful way and use them for evil. “We need to stop him, but how?” they had given up hope. I looked at them and said “With my help Oleg will be defeated. I told them to follow me into a top secret location where they could not be located by the radar… My house. I took them there, where we went to my top secret basement. After Codes and eye test we entered. The question wasn’t how to defeat him, it was how to find him. Hours and hours of searching using top secret items, and we were at a lost. Where could he be? I located a dot on the grid “Ahh there he is!” but then another dot appeared; and another one and another one. What was going on? Was it the system that was failing? No it couldn’t have been I kept thinking to myself. I turned off the computers and re-wired the whole system. When I turned it back on there he was, but I was confused. There was more than one dot reappearing on the screen. Liam looked at me puzzled and asked the question of the century. “Why are there so many dots on the grid?” I gave him a blank stare. “If I knew I wouldn’t be here trying to figure out if the computer was failing now would I?” Thomas looked at me and said “ What if the computers right? What if Oleg appears to be in all these locations because in reality he is in all of them? I mean it’s the dream world so couldn’t he make twins and multiples of him self because he knows you got to us first and he is trying to make I extremely difficult to find us?” What he was telling me made sense, so the question now was who was the real Oleg? Liam looked at the screen and suggested a great idea “What if we all make duplicates of ourselves and try to track down the real one through here?” I looked at him “No, that’s too dangerous he would find where the two of you are and ten you would be in real danger. The only safe alternative to the great plan is to leave both of you in here, where you can’t be found. I will make doubles of myself to track him.” “So you expect us to just sit here and do nothing about it? Are you out of your mind?!” I saw the hunger in Liam’s eyes. “That’s where you are wrong.” I said. You guys are the brains of the operation. We are going to use some CIA gadgets to keep in touch.” They both looked at me and yelled “ Are you stupid? We don’t know how to work all of this stuff?” I laughed “HAHAHAH, it is actually really easy I said. I am going to teach you how to do all of this.” I lit up a cig and Thomas asked for one. “ Do you have another one I can bum?”
“Here” I handed him the pack . As we smoked I started to explain all of the gadgets.
“This is a computer that can track all of Oleg’s Duplicates. You will have a cell phone, that I will leave here. Each one of you is going to have a separate computer, both indicating. One will be tracking Oleg, and the other will be tracking me. The computer is wired with a headset that you can use to communicate with me. Liam you are going to tell the locations of Oleg, and Thomas you will tell me how fast I am approaching them. Once I have placed a duplicate of myself, that tracks all of tem them down I will return here and we will watch the magic occur. When fighting the clones will disappear one by one, because they are only figment of our imagination. We will know where the real Oleg is at one there is one point left, you guys will let me know, that’s when I will teleport to where he is and we will end this once and for all.” They looked at me with a smirk, they had to be thinking “this guy is a genius” “Okay fellas stop staring, and lets get to work. They put on the headset and the chase began. One by one we started tracking and destroying the duplicates. The computer shut off and they couldn’t communicate with me anymore. The only thing I was able to hear was “There’s two more…” and the voice faded.
“Shit” I traveled back to my house and there he was. The boys were tied up with there mouths duct taped. The chair turned around, and there he was. It was Oleg. He clapped and laughed “you are a clever pussy cat, but I’m a wise panther.” I looked at him and said “That’s where you are wrong, I’m no pussy cat, I’m a fierce lion rawwwwwr!” I drawled my gun as fast as I could and bang, I shot his leg. “Run pussy cat run.” I laughed He was done for I grabbed his shoulder and closed my eyes. “Its time to go back to the real world.” He stabbed me in the side but it was too late my eyes were already closed and we were traveling back. Once we got back, I was shocked. It was it was….
The End.
