Chapter 2

“Wake up! We have a big day.” Mike says over the intercom.

“Why? Why now?” I mumble getting out of bed and I walk into the bathroom and wash my face to wake up. I go to my dresser and pull out some shorts and a white T-shirt. I find some socks and tennis shoes in the closet that fit my feet perfectly.

I walk out into the hallway and down the stairs. Mike was in the kitchen eating a bowl of oatmeal and says to me, “Come get some breakfast before we go.” He says pushing a bowl of oatmeal in front of a chair for me.

I eat without talking and get a drink of water and say, “I'm ready.”

“Let’s go then.” He says motioning me out the door.

We walk out the door together and I start out into a jog in front of mike. The air smelt so good and it woke me up even more. After a about ten minutes Mike says, “Slow down a little.”

“I'm only jogging. You can't keep up?” I ask seriously.

“Yeah right. Slow down.” He puffs.

“I'm not lying. I'm only jogging.”

“If so then sprint as fast as you can to me.” Mike says stopping.

“Okay.” I say turning around and I sprint towards Mike. I get there like in two seconds and Mike dumbstruck was looking at me with bulging eyes says, “Do you know how fast you were running?!”

“Um... ten miles per hour?” I ask.

“No, more like thirty miles per hour.”

“What? How?” I ask raising my eyebrows.

“Go run by that speed monitor as fast as you can. It's over there.” Mike says pointing at it in the distance.

“Alright.” I say as I walk into the rode and run as fast as I could towards it. When I passed the monitor it read, 45 MPH.

“What... how?” I ask in shock.

“Come back over here!” Mike yells looking as happy if it were Christmas.

I run over to Mike and he says, “Man kid, your one good runner.”

“Thanks but this doesn't make any sense to me.” I say feeling weird and I was freaking out a little.

“Let’s go back to the laboratory to check what other mysteries you have within you.” Mike says freaking me out a little.
