Thunder: The Final Chapter

Thunder: The Final Chapter


Everything was prepared. Lance and Katie had assembled the suit, and equipped it with all of the technical gadgets, and waiting outside was the grand motorcycle that was ready to race through Canton.

But the problem was that none of this was useful. Nothing had happened that caught their attention. It appeared that this drug dealer had walked off the face of the earth. Nobody had spotted him, reported him, nor did the media mention him.

But Lance spared no time. He knew that this person was still out there, and he needed to be ready for him. He knew that this person was more powerful than he was, and he could be taken out with one swift stroke.

Every night, until he nearly passed out with exhaustion, he would train, upgrading his martial art techniques. And he would also start training on new arts. He worked on Eskrima, Kung Fu, and Hapkido. It was really hard for him, but he knew that it would be worth it in the long run.

And while Lance was working on the physical work, Katie was working on the mental work. She spent countless hours uploading new content up on the computer. We eventually had to buy a larger hard drive to help the basic one keep up with all of the multitasking Katie was making it do. He knew that he would need to upgrade it to a better and more cut-in edge one. But he knew he had better not mention anymore of this to Bonnie.

Bonnie kept to herself up in the kitchen, then occasionally brought down her treats for them to keep giving her a reason to make more things. The thought that she was letting the pair of them do this near suicidal attempt made her feel guilty and in a way, grieving. In her eyes she already saw them dead.

She thought this because they were planning to take on the biggest drug lord since the days of the “Just say no” saying from Nancy Regan. They didn’t stand a chance, she thought. But her constant hinting that this was a bad idea didn’t even phase the hard workers. She had learned in the past that she was not able to control anyone but herself. So she knew that she needed to just let it go and what will be will be.

She walked in the now-secret room with fresh apple fritters and a selection of beverages. She knew that it didn’t matter what she brought down; it would all be used up quickly. She looked at the table before her in a semi-mused look. “Everything ready?”

It took Katie a minute to respond, thinking that Lance would answer the question for her. She didn’t even have to leave her trance on the computer.“It appears so. All there is to do now is to make all of our stuff better”.

“That’ll make me sleep better at night,” Bonnie sarcastically said. She headed in Lance’s direction and when she turned her head she realized that Katie had picked up on her sarcasm.

“Are you sure you are prepared for this Lance,” Bonnie asked him. She hoped that he would all of a sudden crawl into her arms and cry and say that he was scared. But she knew that she needed to prepare herself for her dreams to be shattered.

“Hope so,” he quickly said before adding in another punch, “Got to be at the top of my game.”

“Of course you do.”.......
