Chapter 5

Officer Mikey got to St. Xavier’s and couldn’t find father Micheal. He then decided to go straight to Oliver’s.

Jean was already at Oliver’s when she heard a car pull up. She peeped through the window and noticed that it was a cop’s car. She quickly tried to leave Oliver’s before he noticed her. Mikey got into Oliver’s house and started calling out his name. He then heard some noises Jean made when she tripled over a box of shoes. Mikey immediately traced where the sound came from. He then brought out his gun and cocked it.

“Oliver Stones, come out or I’ll shoot. I just wanna talk” Officer Mikey said calmly but Hean didn’t budge.

“The pastor told me most of it… most of everything. The priest lied to me to protect you. I went to the church and he wasn’t there. Oliver Stones, come out now and I promise you no harm would be done to you and the priest” officer Mikey assured calmly.

“This isn’t something you can handle officer. Just go back to your department and forget about everything that pastor told you” Jean ordered. Officer Mikey was shocked to hear a female voice.

“Who are you?” He asked more alarmed.

“Just go home officer. This fight is bigger than you think. Even the law doesn’t stand a chance” Jean said sternly.

“No” Officer Mikey said and them he pulled the trigger. He missed and immediately, Jean shot him on his leg and ran away. He fell to the ground as he experienced excruciating pain. He instantly called for back up and a car chase begun.

Jean’s car had no plate number so the cops just chased after a black car with no plate number. She was fast and swift.

“Oliver Stones, what the hell haven’t I gone through because of you?” Jean said to herself as she dodged a cop car making them crash into a building and leaving her car with some scratches.

“That is so coming off his pay check” Jean said to herself.

The car chase went on for minutes until Jean was able to distract the cops by jumping out of her car and putting it on auto drive. She walked passed the cops while they kept on chasing her car. She then pressed a button on a remote she was holding and her car exploded. The cops chasing after her were all shocked.

“Officer Mikey, over” one of the cops said into his walkie-talkie.

“I can hear you, over” officer Mikey replied.

“Her car just exploded…she killed herself” he reported.

“Shit!” Officer Mikey cursed.

Jean rushed in as she entered the Vatican HQ.

“Maelstrom, Amelia, I need a location spell done with immediate effect” Jean ordered.

“What are we looking for?” Maelstrom asked.

“Our hybrid” Jean replied sternly.

Little Malcolm tried to focus and work on the spell but nothing was happening.

“Their gonna find us” Roland said impatiently.

“Roland, he’s just a kid give him time” Charlie demanded sternly.

“But that’s it, we do not have time! Any moment now Jean would have Maelstrom and Amelia locating our asses” Roland stressed annoyed by Malcolm’s inability to do the spell.

“Roland, he’s a boy” Oliver said sternly.

“Instead of working him up, give him space. He needs a clear head in order for the spell to work” father Micheal said calmly and then there was quietness. Malcolm then began cloaking the house.

“It’s working” he said sternly.

“Malcolm, you’re gonna have to cloak all of us” Charlie said calmly.

“I can’t cloak all of us. I’m just ten” Malcolm said.

“Okay…what about Roland and Oliver?. They can easily be traced” Charlie asked.

“I’ll try” Malcolm said.

Amelia and Maelstrom already made preparations for the location spell.

“Here, Oliver’s cologne and Roland’s wrist watch” Jean said as she handed over their belongings to Amelia and Maelstrom.

“Roland’s wrist watch, how did you get it? He’s always over protective with this things” Maelstrom asked.

“That’s not the problem. We need to find them now” Jean said sternly.

They then placed it on a map. They had a new technique for a location spell where they could accumulate a person’s aura from there belongings and then let the air generated find them on the map.

They started the process and the air generated began moving on the map.

“Where are those fuckers?” Jean asked herself as she cheerfully watched the map.

“Oliver, you ready?” Charlie asked.

“Yeah” he said as Malcolm began the cloaking spell.

The heads of the Vatican were all focused on the map. Soon, Oliver’s aura began moving slowly until it stopped but Roland’s kept on moving.

“What happened? Why did one stop” Jean asked?

“It’s either Oliver has managed to embrace his wizard side or they have a witch with them” Amelia said surprised.

“Fuck! Roland’s aura needs to move fast” Jean said.

Malcolm was already being weak.

“He needs to take a break” Charlie said worried about Malcolm.

“No, I’ll finish it” Malcolm said wearily. He then began the cloaking spell. He was already experiencing a nose bleed.

“He needs to stop” Charlie said.

“Charlie… let him be” the priest said.

“If he dies….” Charlie said but got interrupted by Oliver.

“He won’t. If he doesn’t complete the spell the everything we’ve done so far is for is useless. Let him be” Oliver advised.

At the HQ, Roland’s aura began moving slowly.

“Speed this spell up. We can’t loose them” Jean demanded.

“The spell can’t go any faster” Amelia said sternly. Suddenly Roland’s aura stopped moving.

“Did it work?” Roland asked and immediately his phone ranged. He picked it up. It was Jean.

“Where the fuck are the both of you?” Jean asked angrily. Then he hung up.

“It worked” Roland said.

“What did she say?” Oliver asked.

“She asked where we were” Roland replied with a smile. Suddenly, Malcolm fell to the floor.

“Malcolm!” Charlie yelled as she ran and picked him up from the floor. She immediately checked his pulse.

“Is he…?” Father Micheal asked almost afraid.

“No, but he’s very weak. He needs rest” Charlie said as father Micheal carried him inside.

“If he died I would have never forgiven the both of you” Charlie said to Oliver and Roland almost in tears.

“The boy wanted to finish the spell” Roland said sternly.

“And if it wasn’t for me, the boy wouldn’t be here! You didn’t want him to come remember. He saved you, he saved the both of you, he saved us! And yet you couldn’t even look at him!” Charlie yelled in anger.

“He saved himself. If the Vatican had found us he’d lose the only family he has left…you. The kid doesn’t care about us. He might be ten but the he’s smart” Roland said sternly and then he went inside.

“What are you looking at?” Charlie asked Oliver annoyed.

“I’m sorry about the kid” Oliver said remorsefully.

“His name is Malcolm” Charlie said sternly and then she went inside. Oliver was now left alone. He them got a call from the Vatican. It was Jean. He picked up the call.

“Tell me where you are and where I can find the ring and I will reduce both of you”
