Chapter 11: The Vault's Secret
Romeo's Point of ViewThe helicopter had the soldiers dropping down on ropes. Within one minute they would be down on the ground. We had not time to run, and we had nowhere to go. The remaining option was to give up and wait until my grandfather felicitous of his plan.Surrendered to Emma and Margaret, I shouted. I put up my hands to indicate that I did not pose threat to the soldiers. "We're not going to fight."I wondered what Emma had thought of me, as she gazed at me as though I were crazy. But she knew what I was up to. Her hands were also raised and after some time so was that of Margaret. The troops were dropped about us in a circle with guns up. They were moving with precision and coldness as they had done a thousand times."Romeo Martinez?" one of the soldiers asked.

Romeo's Point of ViewI stood up.The motion was natural and natural as if my body understood what to do. I no longer had trembling hands. I was no longer confused in my mind. All my senses were clean and acute and well. The mildly-mannered janitor had vanished. In his place was someone else. It was a person I had all my life without realising it.Thomas Black fired the gun.I moved faster than thought. I leaped on one side as the bullet flew through the air at the point where I had been a split second ago. The bullet struck a metal container that was at the back of me and it bounced back with a metallic ping.
