Detective Dickson 5 : Existential Pandemic

Trouble dawns

Sarah woke up grudgingly from the bed, throughout the night, she had dreamt horrible dreams one after the other, for a while, she even thought the occurrences of the previous night was just a dream till she saw Lefinna and d**k's unconscious body lying on the floor across the room, the room was still a mess, broken furniture and clothes flung in inappropriate places.

"Gimme a break" Sarah says as she checks the time, it was 7:30am, she had to prepare for Ron and Kari's wedding, as fast as she could, she closes her eyes as she crosses her two legs, chanting in the dragonic language, she begins to ascend above the ground, runes began to appear everywhere, on the floor and the bodies on the ground, it was a spell to check out for invincible folks.

After chanting for a while and satisfied with what she had done, Sarah falls back to the bed, she still felt weak and exhausted from the previous day, she had tasked her soulic capacity and her spiritual amplitude to the highest but she was a strong woman, always has been and always will be.

"I really have to change out of the clothes" she quickly runs over to pick up a loose sweat shirt from her wardrobe, she inhales it in to check if it wasn't unclean, there was a satisfied look on her face after she had smelled it, putting it on while looking for clean leggings, after a while and rummaging through her drawers, she eventually found what she was looking for.

"I was supposed to the laundry yesterday but the arrival of my love caused me to forget" she smiles as she closes her eyes and reopens it, it turns green

"GHELSE RESFRUO DRRSOS."

As she finished chanting, all the dirty clothes instantly turn clean and that wasn't the only development, all the broken furniture began to align with each other, fixing themselves, the clothes were folding itself and going to their designated area. In less than two minutes, the whole room had arranged itself, it gave out a lovely fragrance and was as clean as new.

"I just love magic" She grins

"Really helps with being a housewife."

Turning over to Lefinna, she remembered what the angel had told her the previous day, she said the only reason why Lefinna was unconscious was cause her nanites were presently disabled meaning if she could get rid of the old ones and reimburse her with new ones, she should be fine

"I hope this works" Sarah begins as she chants aloud.

"JERE SERIO FREWIO JEKERT OUISDH..." She began, as she uttered the last chant, Lefinna's body loses it's color and vigor, there appeared to be a pile of black substance directly beside her.

"The first step is done, the nanites have been removed, now to add new ones" Sarah smiles as she puts her hand on the black substance which had come out, she was trying to understand the nature.

"This material is complex and delicately intricate, I have read several books about spells in practically all langauges, dragonic, mythical, degraniac, elven and even elemental but I have seen not any which is capable of replicating this material" she thinks as she retracts her hand back, then a memory comes back to her, she could never forget it when she first trained under d**k, her now present husband.

She could recall it perfectly, she was standing in an abandoned warehouse, d**k had insisted they went there, said it was a likely place for criminals to acquire and do business there.

"For a n***o, you sure have guts" Sarah frowns at him, d**k was bending close to the ground, busy setting firearms in hidden spots, doing it carefully so it was practically impossible to notice while Sarah just stood and looked at his direction, she wore a disgusted look, there were several crates around which their color was fading fast as they had been abandoned for quite a long time, all the crates appeared empty as most of them were open, the grounds weren't much different as there were cracks everywhere, cobwebs hung all over the ceiling with spiders feasting on variety of insects, there were also holes in the roof which rays of light used to permeate into the building.

"Come on, doll, don't call me n***o, it's actually offensive, you hurting my feelings" d**k stands up to his full height, he looked exactly the same way he still looked now

"Marty already solved that racist s**t, we should all love each other, we bound by one blood, ain't we?"

He referred to Martin Luther King Jr as Marty.

"My veins can't flow with blood as inferior as yours" Sarah replies him with a haughty remark, she was dressed in her assigned official uniform which was really tight while d**k, being who he was, never wore the uniform, was always in casual wears.

"You sure got nice bumper lights and a damn sexy chassis, want me to do a little servicing after we grab dinner" d**k grins at her ignoring her earlier remark.

Sarah had red all over her cheeks, wasn't red from blush or smiles but that of anger but she quickly changes her facial composure before he could notice.

"Ooh really, what kind of servicing do you mean?" She smiles as she walks towards him.

Dick was amazed as he looks at her approaching, he had always been trying for hit on her from the moment she enrolled though she was always turning him down, d**k was amazed, he really didn't expect it to work but d**k quickly puts on a flirty grin as he comes towards her too.

"An intense, sensual and erotic servicing that's gonna leave your legs jelly for a weak" d**k ends with a grin.

"Ooh you sound so bad, you sure must be rad" Sarah continues with a flirty smirk and an alluring tone, as soon as she got close to d**k, she knees him in his most delicates with all the strength she could muster from her position, she hit him so hard she could clearly hear the sounds"KRRRR KRRRRR KRRRRR"

Dick bends as he grasps his stomach, the confident smile on his face had vanished, replaced with a depressed look.

"Get your head out of the clouds, n***o, there's no way I will f**k a black bastard" Sarah laughs at him.

"That's what many white girls too said initially" d**k grins as he gets to his feet, ignoring the pain.

"Well, this one is different" Sarah smiles.

"No, that's what you think, only a matter of time before we get intimate, I am the D, it's what I do" d**k ends with the same confident grin he had earlier.

"And now, referring to yourself in the third person" Sarah laughs cheerily as she turns her attention away from him before returning it back

"What makes you think you have a chance?"

"I am the first nigga to reach this position in the police force, I can do what I want when I want, the only things impossible for me are those I don't wanna, I have set my mind on exploring the charming and spectacular physique of yours, mark my words, dollface, I am gonna f**k you hard."

Sarah smiles as she remembers what had transpired still standing over Lefinna's unconscious body.

And sure enough, d**k did explore her body in ways she didn't think was possible, she never believed she could even make out with a black guy talk less of sleep with him but d**k had taken it beyond her greatest imagination, he married her.

"The only things impossible for me are those I don't wanna" she smiles as she quotes her husband, she was the most inexperienced of all the casters around, she was surrounded with werewolves, vampires, elves and so much creatures she couldn't fathom, creatures who had hundreds and thousands of years practising various magic spells while she had been learning almost inconsistently for about sixteen years but she was able to invent a spell called "Jelly O" the strongest shield spell known, it was practically impregnable until the arch angel.

"d**k has inspired me to do things which most would call impossible" Sarah begins as she closes her eyes, tears dropping the left one

"I now bear his surname, I am not a dependent b***h, always been independent my whole life and like he would say, the only things impossible for me are those I don't wanna" she ends as she smiles lightly

"And I much very want to bring you back and invent one more new spell."

Sarah takes her markers as she draws rune signs and symbols all over the ground in a circular style, standing right in the enter which wasn't too far from Lefinna's body, she crosses her feet as she ascends into the air, a golden intangible form of her leaves her(her soul) and enters into the black substance.

"Now I shall find the connection between the molecular composition of these material and the wavelength of Leffy's soul" Sarah says as she looks around, sure enough the innards of the material was nothing like she had ever seen before, it appeared to be beyond her knowledge as it wasn't pitch black as the original surface, rather the inside was simple, it was just a bare white space which was endless in size, she looked around but it appeared there was nothing else.

"Doesn't look like much, just like Daniel's brain" Sarah thinks as she looks around, she laughs at her joke, her husband had really rubbed off on her but soon she spots something directly far east of her, it was a walking plant, it was very small in size, it looked like a typical jute leaf(popularly called ewedu amongst the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria), the only difference was that this one has two roots sticking out of it and it functioned as it legs seeing that it could move about, there was another jute leaf not to far from it but that one seemed embedded in the endless white space.

"How will it survive? there's no sunlight or water" Sarah thinks as she gazes upon it, as if to answer her question, the walking jute leaf began to pour out water and sunlight from itself to the younger one, that one too became big in no time to the height of the first one, the recent big one brings out two of itself each one was fertilized by him and the other one who brought him, that cycle kept repeating itself till they were spreading speedily across the endless white space, Sarah was amazed as she gazed upon it all.

"So these was the true nature of the nanites, it keeps supporting each other not expecting anything in return from it's nurtured offspring, all it desires is growth and expansion, even though this space is biologically unstable for it's kind, yet it finds a way not just to survive but also thrive" Sarah thinks as she gazes upon it all

"I think I now understand what I need to do and develop the nanites."

Her soul steps back from the black substance and back into her floating body, Sarah opens her eyes wide as she returns, returning back to her feet, she places her palms on Lefinna as she chants aloud

"JEREO OIGENO SOBEU SOSJSNO..." She keeps chanting the spell for quite a while, similar to the antibodies of a human system who desired the safety of the human system, what the nanites desired were growth, by magically enhancing the inactive antibodies, she was able to transform them into similar substance exactly like the nanites.

After a while, Lefinna opens her eyes as she gasps aloud.

Sarah stops chanting as she looks at her awoken friend, she just couldn't help but smile happily, she was overjoyed though it was just a thin hope, her improvised spell actually worked, she was happy beyond words.

"Where's the intruder?" Lefinna asks aloud as she returns the gaze back at Sarah who was overflowing with sweet smiles.

"She left" Sarah answers as she regains her facial composure as she gets to her feet, Lefinna does the same as she inspects the room.

"Everything seems tidy, based on the soulic energy residue hanging about in the air, magic was used but there's something more sinister, I am sensing another form of energy though I can't exactly pinpoint the source" Lefinna says stone faced as she looks around, she was still hazy, the automated system was presently taking control of her body as her human consciousness was yet to be kicked into the high gear, it was like a system reboot but the booting was accomplished.

"Sorry about that" Lefinna begins as she touches her face

"My cybernetic systematic program took over temporarily back there, I know what happened, thanks for saving me" she ends with a sweet smile as she turns to Sarah.

"I really wish I could say you are welcome but we ain't out of trouble yet" Sarah says as she motions over to d**k's direction, d**k still laid unconscious on the ground and he didn't look like he was gonna be up anytime soon.

"What happened to him?" Lefinna asks as she quickly moves over to d**k's side.

"Abysmal affliction" Sarah replies her.

"What's that?" Lefinna asks.

"It's what the female angel called it, it supposedly puts him in a continuous death, like he rebirths and dies, I don't understand it fully" Sarah says with a concerned look.

"Didn't know that existed but seeing that d**k was the main target and she could have done that even before we found him, that's not her only goal, she appears to be angry probably because d**k took something important from her so a typical lady like her would wanna destroy everything he loves or cares about" Lefinna begins as she runs a quick scan on Dick

"This is impossible" Lefinna has a downcast expression on her face.

"What do you mean? what's the problem?" Sarah asks alarmed.

"My scans are of the highest dimensional plane, meaning I should be able to analyse the physical and internal structures of any object or creature in the infinite multiverse or as the celestials call it, the lower realm."

"That isn't exactly answering my question" Sarah says with a bummed out look.

"Not yet done" Lefinna turns towards her direction

"For beings such as the angels, Meglor and his generals, gods and mistresses who are above every form of dimensional existence, my scan potency is practically useless against them and the same is happening with d**k, I can't access his mind, his soul, his body and spirit, it's blank and completely empty."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sarah asks.

"Many scary possibilities could be the case but one sure thesis, he can't get help here or anywhere else in the infinite multiverse" Lefinna answers her.

"That..." Sarah was interrupted by a a ringing sound, it appeared to be coming from Lefinna.

"RRRRR RRRRR RRRRRR" It rang aloud.

"What's that?" Sarah asks alarmed.

"Nothing serious, just an in built cellphone" Lefinna replies as she puts her hand to her ear

"Darling, are you with the groom?"

"I am there, that's why I called" came Tommy's voice at the other end of the call.

"Your voice sounds worried, is there any problem" Lefinna asks.

"It's Ron, he's missing."
