World Wide Warrior 19
(Watch Out, Here I come!)
Up the side of the building Braden went,
Trying hard to stay out of sight.
His focus narrowed to the here and now
With preparation for fight or flight.
Once up upon the fire escape,
Braden took out a few of his tools.
He waited for Rayenâs signal in his ear.
He wasnât about to be a fool.
Rayen gave the signal to him
The alarm had been remotely shut off.
So he cut the glass with his tool
and entered through the window, Into a bedroom loft.
Through the hallway and up through a vent
And then down a back stairwell.
Braden silently snaked through the building
Always moving, never stopping.
There was no safe place to dwell.
Following all of Rayenâs instructions,
Braden finally arrived
At the room where he would carry out his mission
And here is what he heard inside.
Man 1: âIt seems that we have an accord then?
Iâll provide this hypnotism for you?
You do realize this is no ordinary session.
Do you, Governor? Do you?â
Governor: âYouâve explained it fairly well, Mukhtar.
I think Iâm ready for this.
In fact, a relaxing session with you,
Sounds like total bliss.â
Braden whispered into his mic,
Braden: âStarmother, are you getting that?â
Rayen: âStreaming it now. Keep silent, Nahuel.â
Braden obediently kept his tone flat.
A few moments later, Mukhtar Imran
Had the Governor under his spell-
Using some incense and writings on the floor,
And humming in eerie swells.
At last his task was completed
And he spoke to The Governor then.
Mukhtar: âYou will follow my every order.
Stand up and then bow to me, man.â
The Governor did just as Mukhtar said.
He stood up, and then bowed himself low.
Mukhtarâs men began to laugh.
Mukhtar bid them silence, though.
Rayen: âThatâs enough, Nahuel.
Move out quickly now.
Iâll initiate lockdown-
When youâre safe and sound.â
Braden began to move away,
But Mukhtar looked his way.
Braden had made no noise.
No noticeable movement or delay.
Regardless, Braden turned to run,
Mukhtarâs men hot on his heels.
Braden: âLockdown would be great right now, grandma!â
Rayen: âI didnât know about this seal!â
Braden: âWhat the heck are you talking about!?â
Rayen: âThereâs another password I donât have!â
Braden ran out of places to run,
And took out Shadowlash.
Braden: âHandgun, Mutatio!â Braden exclaimed
His tomahawk morphing into a gun.
Rayen: âBraden!â Rayen screamed in his ear.
Braden: âWatch out. Here I come.â
