With tears in his eyes

The kidnapping of Mrs Vincent shocked the father and son. They didn't know what to do. They couldn't call the police because the kidnappers had warned them not to do so. John used to watch some basic hacking tutorials. He had a keen interest in hacking too as he saw it a lot in sci-fi movies and TV shows.

"John! Track the location of the phone which called us.", said Mr Vincent. Though John hadn't told anyone about this hobby of him there was no time to think about it now.

"Let's go to my room. I may be able to track it with my computer.", John replied.

They moved upwards as fast as they could. John opened the computer and started the phone tracking application he had downloaded. He opened the application. The application was loading.

"It's taking too much time to load. Goddammit!!!", John expressed his frustration. Finally, the application started. John started to track the phone. Again it was taking too much time. John slowed down the time. He successfully tracked the phone.

"It's done, isn't it?"

"Yes, dad. I did it. It-"

"Where did it came from?"

"It came from one of the small streets near the main highway the highest she took to go to a picnic with her friends."

"So what dad? We don't have any plans. What are we going to do now?"

"Don't know. We will think about it later. Let's go down and get in the car."

They went down and got in the car. The car started and headed towards its destination.

******

John slowed down the time so that they could reach there fast. The kidnappers had given the location already but they had to make sure if it was a trap. They had confirmed it and the kidnappers were there in the location they had given. They parked their car a little far from the given location. They walked towards their destination afterwards.

*******

They had reached the destination but hadn't shown themselves to enemies yet.

John paused the time to look around the surrounding. There were a few suspicious men. Upon closer inspections, John found out they had guns. John ran towards them taking advantage of paused time. He knocked them out by hitting them hard on their nose. He had seen this in one of the movies too. He stole their guns and came back. He resumed the time as he came running back. He handed a gun to his dad. Mr Vincent seemed surprised. They moved inside the base.

There were a lot of enemies with guns but not Mrs Sarah Vincent. He paused the time and knocked every enemy except one. He resumed the time. Everyone had already been knocked out except the one. John pointed the gun which he had previously stolen to the conscious enemy and made him spit out the location of Mrs Sarah Vincent. More enemies were coming.

John commanded Mr Vincent to go look for her on that particular location the conscious enemy gave him.

"Dad, take the gun along with you for your safety. Do not use it until the situation calls for it. I will handle these guys here."

"Bu-but will you be able to handle them?"

"Do you believe in your son?"

"Of course"

"Then go ahead. Do not worry about me."

Mr Vincent moved forward. At first, John had planned to use the conscious enemy as a hostage. The plan didn't work as one of the enemies shot the conscious enemy without the least bit of concern.

"Ugh. Seems like I have to use the power at any cost. What a pain!", he talked to himself.

He paused the time and whacked the hell

out of everyone to the point they were knocked out unconscious.

John doubted his dad may be able to shoot someone. He ran as fast as he could. When he reached there he saw an unexpected scenario. Everyone was already knocked unconscious. Mr Vincent was untieing Mrs Vincent.

"Mom!!"

John ran towards his mom with tears in his eyes. John hugged his mom. He felt very relieved.

"Sorry for making you worried.", Mrs Vincent said.

"Mom, what are you saying-"

Mr Vincent hastily hugged Mrs Vincent. "Sarah. I promise I won't ever let you leave me behind. I-I...I have already given up on many of my closed ones. I won't give up on you....and you too, John. You too are everything to me.".

There were tears in his eyes. Both John and Sarah Vincent hugged him. It was the first time John hugging his both parents.

John with tears in his eyes said, "I will grow stronger for you. I will protect both of you. I will fight with the monster I saw attacking you in my dream."
