Chapter 17

While they were loading the car with the supplies of extra clothes and random objects that they thought would help, a black car with black windows rolled by. It slowed down for what seemed like forever just as it passed in front of their house.

It had government tags on it and only one occupant as far as John could tell. He ushered Sasha towards the front door but before he could get both of them inside, the car U-turned and flicked on its lights.

It was Detective Jones.

Sasha turned to face him, rubbing the stone inside her pocket. She was soaking in the power, just in case. As Detective Jones exited his vehicle, he felt a sense of despair. Sasha was attacking his brain with thoughts of his past that are too inappropriate to mention in a children's book.

He was a very bad man.

Detective Jones went to draw his service weapon but he just couldn't manage the strength to raise his arm the three inches to his waste. He was basically a standing paralyzed bad guy.

Sasha went to work to plant a thought in his mind. An urgent thought. Something to make him rush away and exit their lives for the time being.

Detective Jones yelled, "I know everything Sasha Roberts! I know what you are doing and how you are doing it. I've been watching you ever since you two made my four colleges' and their car disappear at Charleston Cove. You forgot there were cameras on the buildings."

Sasha pushed her mind harder, her palms blued. Touching the stone was just what she needed to harness the full complete power that it held. She wouldn't be passing out from exertion this time.

Detective Jones quickly said, "Oh shoot, I've got a 10-14 three blocks from here!"

He turned, entered his vehicles, flipped the siren and took off down the road. Sasha had done this. Sasha resolved the problem without violence and only used her mind.

A lot of people could learn from this. Violence leads to nowhere but problem solving with mind power could take you to the moon and back.

Now we can proceed with the trip.
