Bruce sat at the bonnet of their car while Tom held Andrew at gun point, the remaining thugs were trying to remove the ring from Jeremy but the ring seems to be stuck. They struggled for sometime before Jeremy opened his eyes, his eyeballs were yellow in color, he stood up even though the thugs were trying to held him down at bewilderment of everyone present.
He screamed and flung his arms which sent the two thugs crashing on the cars parked at the garage. Tom opened fire on him but the bullets were all useless. Jeremy dashed towards Tom and pushed him which sent him flying out of the garage. one of the thug who crashed with a car jumped on him but he grabbed him on air and gave him a choke slam breaking his spinal cord. Bruce hid behind a car and called on the other thug that crashed with a car saying;
"Matt, get him"
Matt leapt on his feet, when he saw how Jeremy smashed his colleague on the ground using choke slam, he quietly crept under a car to the other side where he hid behind the car. Bruce dashed towards Jeremy opening fire but Jeremy started dodging the bullets using quick reflexes, Bruce ran out of bullets and bring out another gun from his back and opened fire again. Jeremy dashed towards him sliding on his two knees, He got to Bruce and attack him with an uppercut that sent him flying flying upwards. He hit his head on the roof and just as he was about falling down, Jeremy attacked him with a spin push kick that sent him outside the garage. Andrew saw as Matt sneaked behind Jeremy, He was holding a giant wrench with which he intends to strike Jeremy. As he raised the wrench up in order to attack Jeremy; Andrew switched in to action, he rolled towards the thug with broken spine; picked up his gun and dashed towards Matt hitting him at the back of the head with the butt of the gun which caused Matt to passed out.
Jeremy heard a heavy thud behind him, He quickly turned and saw Andrew holding a gun; He looked down and saw an unconscious thug with his head bleeding. he dashed towards Andrew; grabbed him by the collar and raised him above the ground. He threw Andrew up in the air and he crashed to the ground, he held him by the neck and started choking him but Andrew managed to call on him asking him to stop;
"Jeremy don't; it's me Andrew, your cousin. please stop".
Jeremy's eyeball suddenly became normal and he fall to the ground. he raised up his face and asked;
"what happened here? "
Andrew replied him;
"No time for that, let's go"
They both rushed to their car and Andrew drove off. On the car, Andrew was demanding an explanation for what happened;
"what really is going on with you and this ring? It's like I'm having some kinda psycho dream, what really is going on? you almost killed me back there".
Jeremy angrily shouts at him;
"I don't know! I don't know!! I don't know!!! I don't know thirty minutes ago, I still don't know now".
Andrew said to him;
"why not give those guys this ring? What so important with the ring that you're holding on to it for this long? After all, the ring has brought us nothing but pain and suffering. I haven't enjoyed a good night sleep for about three nights now".
Andrew shakes his head negatively and replied;
"you won't understand".
Andrew got angry and shouted;
"then make understand".
Jeremy angrily replied him;
"Don't shout at me, don't even try it. I got so much on my mind and your yelling is what I can't take now, didn't you what this ring can do?; you also saw how determined those guys are in getting this ring. Whoever that want this ring needs it badly and my hunch tells me they don't want to use it for good. my problem now is I don't know how to use the ring, if only I can get back to the fairy world; they might have the answer I'm seeking for".
Andrew smiled and nudged him.
"cheer up dude, but you were pretty real good back there; the strength, agility and the stamina. I marvelled at your speed and quick reflexes, how did you do that? "
Jeremy replied him;
"like I said ten minutes ago, I don't know. I can't really remember what happened back there..... so where are we going? "
Andrew sighed and replied;
"to my girlfriend's"
Jeremy opposed it immediately stating that it'd be be dangerous because that could drag her into mess she knows nothing about. He suggested that they go to the police. Andrew laughed at going to the police saying;
"that's ridiculous, going to the police? what's we gonna tell them? some psychopaths are after us because of a crazy ring that make you do some crazy stuff? haha; how crazy does that sound to you?
Andrew stated that they should tell the truth but not all the truth. They drove pass a police team heading towards the direction they were coming from.
