Chapter Sixteen
My Fourth Encounter with the Golden Speedster
Will was in his speed workshop in Red Dwarf Labs when
I sped up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.
“Hey, Will.”
In a Flash, Will zipped around. He was in street clothes with a lab
coat. To say he wasn’t happy to see me,
would be an understatement.
“Dark Runner.”
He was trying to look his coolest. He was worried though, you can’t hide that.
“What’s going on, Will?
”
“You tell me.”
“Relax,” I said.
This is a friendly visit. I’m
just here to chat.”
“You’re a maniac.
I have nothing to say to you.”
He was defiant.
“Cool, then listen.
I know we’ve just met recently from your point of view. But, from my perspective we’ve been battling
for years. I have hated you for what
seems like ages now. Mark your calendar,
October 19, 2022, not long after sunrise. That’s the date of our big battle in
Washington Park. Our final battle. The end of our conflict. The day you die, Will. Keep the date, buddy.”
