Semua Bab Blue Thunder: The Rise of the Legend - book 1: Bab 21 - Bab 30

June 29, 2000, 22:00 Frank and Mark entered a bar located on Acadie boulevard. They went to watch The Shaft and wanted to go out for a couple of drinks before heading back to their dorm. The bar was within a short walking distance. Mark had just broken up with his girlfriend Jessie and Frank didn’t know when he was going to be able to see Coralis and take her on a date. “All right, now you know how bad it crashed between me and Jessie, it’s your turn bud, how is it going between you and Coralis?” “Well, if you wouldn’t have been deep into Jessie’ skirt for the entire month, you would know,” said Frank. “Ouch! Well ok, I deserved that one, but it’s past history now. So. You and Coralis.” “Hard to tell, I saw her only twice since the party. The first time doesn’t count: she was walking out of the dorm’s elevator while I was coming in and she had to leave for work. That was about 2 weeks ago. We spoke a little bit, but she was running late”. “But you said you saw her twice.” “Sa

July 27, 2000 The next Saturday, Frank needed to go shopping for a new laptop: he couldn’t fix the one he had and had saved up enough for a new one. Mark joined him, and they went to a shopping centre in the area where their friend Victoria lived. After making sure that she was home, they decided to stop by her place for a coffee before heading back. Frank was hoping to be able to see Coralis before they’d leave. They spoke a couple of times, but hadn’t seen each other: she was either free when he was at work, or she worked when he was free. Meanwhile, Coralis and Eva were wrapping up the case they’d been working on all week. Coralis was covered in werewolf and vampire blood. She dropped off Eva where she lived, then headed straight home. Victoria didn’t know at what time her roommate would be back, but looking at the time, she became worried that she’d get back as Cheetah while Frank and Mark were there. She didn’t want to be the one to have to explain to Frank that his new girlfri

October 21, 2000 Frank told her to be there by 19:00. It was his mom’s birthday: her oldest brother, Louis, wanted to gather the family to celebrate it. His eldest daughter, Rachel, just had a baby, and he wanted to spend some time alone with them before the rest of the family came over. Frank’s uncle lived in a family house in the city’s east end, so he had the space to host his entire family. Over the past few months, Frank had missed a lot of family brunches. When confronted about it, he admitted that he was seeing someone and vaguely explained why he couldn’t just see her at a different time or invite her to brunch. His mother and sister insisted on him inviting her to their family party: they really wanted to meet her. Frank was actually thrilled about introducing her to his family, so he obliged. She took the public transit to get there, thinking that it wouldn’t raise too many questions that she wouldn’t be able to answer. She had to appear like a human, and she didn’t want t

November 25, 2000 – noon “In his letter, my dad said that they wanted to get away from Lord Meozo, they even hid in Egypt for a few months… but what happened? I’ve got all of these groups telling me about why I should follow in their footsteps, while others keep telling me that they got killed because they worked for him. Honestly, I ended up signing with the EBEE to go against those telling me I should take over what they started, and that made me question whether they really wanted to get away from him. In what exactly were they involved?” “Who talked to you? If you spoke with the Swamtons or anyone in Anita’s family… don’t trust anything coming out of their mouth, they’re the worst type of shady. Your dad was right: they wanted to hide from him. Dawn could tell you more about your dad, but I do know that he never went to an elemental school: he was homeschooled. His father kept telling him he needed to refrain from using his inner energy as much as possible, and to not mark his m

February 14, 2001 Coralis sat next to Andrew, her mentor, in the middle of a room. They had to attend a meeting with some EBEE senior agents in London. She was hoping that the meeting wouldn’t last long: she promised Frank that she’d be spending the evening with him and would try to ignore work calls. Victoria was going to be out for the day, so she told him to be there at 17:00. Elder agents Alfredino, Rolland, and Phraton were sitting behind a table by the windows. “Blue Thunder,” said Rolland, a fire mage, “I must say, your track record with us is stellar. Your mentor only has praises for you.” “Officially, you’re an apprentice with us. However, it came to our attention that your contract with The Northerners will be ending soon. When your flyball career ends, after this flyball season, we are going to formally appoint you as an agent,” said Alfredino, a wind mage. “In all due respect, elders, my flyball career will not be ending after this season. My contract with the Northern
