The first thing I noticed, despite all the chaos around , and all the noise made by the screaming officers, was the two ambulances, parked next to Joseph's car.
He was there, looking straight at , just to the side of the whole hostage group who was being taken care of. Tihana tried to escape, to step out for , as she also was yelling, but one of the dics tried to stop her.
- Everybody, please calm down! - shouted mister Wu, as he took a few steps toward . - This is a person who helped free the kidnapped people! Please put your guns down!
He only made them all more confused. They clearly needed an order from sobody of bigger authority.
I had a slightly different idea of how to resolve the situation than he did. I seized the mont he created for and used 'Telekinesis' to just take the guns from the policen who loosen their grips on their guns. I was swift, and decisive, which quickly made all of the pistols levitate in the air. Then I slowly made a pail of them just next to , as they watched with fear in their eyes.
So tried to grab different weapons, but most of the firearms were gone.
- If I wanted to kill you, or hurt you, you would be long dead! - I pointed out, so loud that everybody could hear . - Since I didn't you shouldn't try to provoke by pointing your toys at ! Get whoever is in charge here, so we can clear things up!
Murmur spread around like wildfire. Soon an agent in a bulletproof vest over an elegant white shirt showed up. He had a wire over his right ear.
He was quite slim and of average height. Shaved cleanly, with brown hair cut short.
- I'm agent Rod Thomson - he introduced himself. - Who are you?
- Peter. I'm a hunter from Arc, and over there - I pointed at Tihana - you have my daughter whom I just freed from the hands of the cartel.
He nodded, then turned around to face the others.
- Please put your gu... put your weapons down - he said.
It ca out quite awkward, as I already made fools of his n. I guess he was quite nervous in the situation he found himself in, so he was working more on autopilot, than thinking clearly. I decided to give him a hand, at least a little bit.
- I found them in this building. There are no cartel mbers inside. They tried to kill , so... I defended myself - I lied, pointing at the building with an open hand.
It also made notice all the shadows who were gathered there in a line, so I send them back, scaring most even more.
- Those were mine. I used them for a safe evacuation of the hostages - I quickly added.
- T-thank you, but please, do not go anywhere. We will have more questions - said the agent.
Everything in his body was showing that he was scared and nervous. He beca sloppy since his mind was unfocused, and he needed a mont before making each simple decision, but eventually, he sent a force inside the building to check everything. He also began calling whoever knows who.
I got a window to go and see my family.
- Thanks dad - said Tihana, like she didn't feel anything in connection with her current situation.
- A-are you ok? - asked Celestine.
- Please... I'm too aweso to get hurt in situations like those - I replied, making her, and a few of the dics smile.
- Ok, mystery aweso - said Celestine. - We are not hurt too. Maybe a few bruises, here and there, but overall it's fine.
- Great. It seems like you are not too shaken by what happened too - I pointed out.
- It's thanks to Tihana. She kept telling those thugs that she will co and beat them up - she inford .
I glanced at my daughter.
- They didn't listen. Idiots - Tihana snorted.
Her reaction brought a smile to my face. I was getting more and more proud of her. I was also happy with myself, that I managed to rise her so well. She seed confident, smart, and ready to take action. She was brave and composed even in such situations as this one. I wondered how much what happened before with John transford her like that.
- I'm proud of you - I just threw at her out of the blue. - Let's talk about this later, because I need to do a few things before.
Then I switched my attention to Joseph, who was with his son but remained silent. One glance made believe that he was disappointed with John. Their relationship looked terrible.
- I'm gonna leave for probably the rest of the day. I need you to take care of my family. Can you do this for ? - I asked him.
- Yes, of course.
- Thank you - I said, and then took off.
My flying speed was slow by my standards, so I ended up creating plates out of the void essence and running on them toward the first location given to by Vato. I was using his phone, to make sure I was moving in the right direction.
I easily breached the barrier of sound and got there very fast. Then I lost all the kinetic energy via shadow walk, finishing with a heavy landing in front of a large mansion in Los Angeles. The district was very wealthy. There was no doubt about it.
Behind a tall fence made out of tal bars was a house that put mine to sha. Garden, a large pool outside combined with a few hundred of square ters of very nice property.
I also noticed a garage. It was open, and inside it were a few very expensive cars put on display.
I didn't hesitate at all and opened the gate. I needed to use force to break it open, which caused an alarm to go off. With my keen hearing, I could hear it even from the street despite the beeping sound going wild in the house itself.
