Chapter 84: Early (1/2)
Back at Montem, Alex was waiting outside the school gate nervously. He was continuously looking down both sides of the streets hoping that he would see his teammates any second now.
”I hope they're okay.”
Alex then lifted his hand to look at his watch, the time was currently 11:00Am, the match was due to begin in around 2 hours. Just then, Alex started to hear the sound of a large vehicle coming down the road.
It was a school area so normal cars drove quite slowly and didn't make a lot of sound.
”It couldn't be, they shouldn't be here for at least another hour.” Alex thought.
As he looked to his right where the sound was coming from, he could see a large bus off in the distance. The bus eventually stopped just outside the school and on the side of the bus read. Hershal grammar school.
Hershal had arrived a good two hours before the match was scheduled to start. The montem students wanted to get a good look at the Hershal team so they had gathered around the front entrance of the school. The bus door opened and out came the coach followed by the 5 players on the Hershal team.
The coach was currently wearing a suit and looked like a lawyer who was representing the team. As the kids got off the bus they got off in a single file. Instead of laughing or cracking jokes with each other, they stood still in front of the bus in hight order.
The coach approached the school gate first and started to speak to the students in front of him.
”I would like to speak to the coach of Montem's VSW club and ask if we can perhaps start the match a little earlier.”
The girl that was stood directly in front of the coach answered back.
”We don't have a VSW coach but the captain of the team is standing right there if you want to speak to him.” The girl said as she pointed at Alex.
Alex gulped at the situation in front of him.

Back at the abandoned warehouse, Rob was still holding the students at gunpoint. Rob was beginning to sweat and look increasingly nervous.
”I can see the look on your faces,” Rob shouted, ”Your all looking down on me aren't you!”
Novis could tell it was a bad situation. Rob was clearly becoming more agitated and didn't seem like a person that was all there. If they stayed here longer that was a good chance that Rob would end up shooting one of them.
”So do you think you can beat a gun?” Noivs asked.
George and Arthur had asked Novis to give as much detail about what a gun was as possible. They needed to have a good understanding of what a gun was to be able to know if they could beat it or not. Novis had explained that a solid metal object would come shooting out of the gun when he pressed the trigger.
A speed that was so fast the human eye wouldn't be able to keep up with it. Not only that but if he pressed the trigger again, immediately another solid object would come out of it. Novis didn't know a lot about guns so he had no idea how many bullets the type of gun Rob was holding had.
