CHAPTER ONE

The Boy

A

lex and his dog Mason flew through the air at lightning speed. Alex could fly with the aid of his suit and Mason had the smallest of wings under each paw. They were zooming to a house, hoping to save a life. It was a race against time, and even going at the speed of light Alex felt it wasn’t fast enough.

When they reached the house, Alex reared back and kicked in the window, making a hole for he and Mason to climb through feet-first. There was shattered glass everywhere on the floor beneath their feet.

They walked quietly as they could, one on each side of the boy, not wanting to startle him. The boy was so involved in what he was doing that he didn’t feel the cold air coming in from the kicked-in window. Alex’s body tensed, and his eyes got dark as he looked at the boy wearing headphones on his head, sweat pouring down his face and a controller moving at unbelievable speed in his hands.

Hey, you okay? Alex asked.

The boy just kept playing.

Alex tried again, Hey, what’s going on?

Again nothing.

The boy’s eyes opened wide and his nose flared. He was shaking violently and didn’t seem to care about anything but playing his game.

Alex stared at the boy, trying to figure out what was going on with him.  He looked at the room they were in. It was messy with soda cans, pizza boxes and clothes thrown in the corners.  

How can his parents let him be in a room that was such a mess? Alex wondered. Then he remembered that his own room looked almost as messy. Alex focused back on the boy just as a dark colored foam started coming from the boy’s mouth.

Alex knew he had to act fast to save the boy when he saw what was happening. He lifted him from his chair and laid his now-twitching body on the floor, then swiftly knelt down and put one finger on each side of his temple and closed his eyes, hoping his mind healing powers would work.

Alex didn’t know he had mind healing powers until he’d met his mentor, Sirius. Sirius taught him how to concentrate and transfer his inner strength to someone else. He only knew that his healing powers came from somewhere far away.

The boy began to twitch faster and the dark foam that was coming from his mouth now came from his nose, eyes, and ears. The twitches kept happening faster and faster. Alex’s mind healing powers weren’t working on whatever was happening.

Mason barked to Alex, indicating there was someone on the headphones. Mason could hear the person because the headphones were on the floor near him. He was Alex’s ears because Alex couldn’t hear a sound except from Mason when he was suited. The suit turned off his human hearing when his foot was put inside and automatically his ears translated Mason’s barks for him to understand. Alex didn’t mind because he had his best friend with him, and he knew Mason had his back. Alex tried to always face people so he could see their lips moving, letting him know they were talking to him. He could tell Mason was listening to a sound because he always cocked his head to the side.

Who are you?" Alex yelled, hoping his voice reached the headphones.

Mason barked to Alex, I am an Aninoid.

Who? Alex yelled with a bewildered look on his face.

Mason again barked to Alex, I am an Aninoid.

Alex, not sure what he meant, yelled, What have you done to him?

This time, he received no response from the other side of the headphones.  Alex looked down at the boy. His face was now covered in a dark foam and his hands and neck had begun to get hairy. What’s happening to him? Alex wondered. The boy’s breathing had become labored and Alex wondered what he should try. Whatever it was, he had to do it quickly. He had never encountered anything like this before in the short time he had been helping the Chief of Police.

The unthinkable happened. The boy stopped twitching just as quickly as he had started. Alex checked his pulse and felt nothing. The boy had died. Alex had failed.

He stood there for a minute in shock, just looking down at the boy on the floor. As he watched, the hair on the boy’s hands and neck disappeared. Alex was mesmerized and only came out of his thoughts when he realized Mason was barking behind him, trying to get his attention. He turned and looked at Mason, bringing him back to reality. Alex then realized he should check to see if there was anyone else in the boy’s house. He did a quick scan of each room with his laser eyes, and each room was empty. This was only one of the powers his laser eyes was used for. He could also burn through walls and turn objects.

The three of them were the only ones in the house. There was nothing else Alex and Mason could do except call the police to take the boy’s body and find his family. They flew back out the window they had come in. Alex’s heart was heavy as they headed home.

After landing on the roof of his home, Alex focused his laser eyes at a man-made hole so small it could not be seen with the naked eye. He shot a beam from his laser eyes into the hole, and then rotated his head in a circular motion to turn the hidden cylinder inside the hole. This brought up his elevator. They stepped inside the elevator, the door closed, and at the speed of light it went down and landed inside Alex’s secret room. Alex’s secret room was hidden just behind his closet. The door in the back of his closet was made of a collection of sneaker boxes intended to hide the entrance to his secret room. It was just large enough for his dirty suit container and for him to change clothes before and after taking the elevator to and from the roof. The container would be there one day and gone the next. He never knew how the secret room and elevator came to be there; he’d never heard them being built or installed, they were just there one day, as if by magic.

Stepping into his bedroom, he grabbed his laptop, opened it, and put his hand on the scanner which bought up his home page. He Face Timed the Chief of Police but got no answer, so he left him an urgent message explaining as best he could what he saw and asking the chief to try and locate the boy’s family. They needed to know their son had died.

Chapter 2

The Suit

A

lex realized that in his rush to call the chief he had forgotten to change clothes, so he headed back to his secret room. The first thing he did was hang up the one-piece navy-blue suit. Alex had many colored suits in different styles. They were made of a kind of spandex material with
