The wakening
Page-09
Garth and lumiere find johny warren’s gang’s hideout
deserted , however they search the hurriedly vacated premises for clues and
garth spots a scrap of paper from a wastepaper basket bearing a list of names
amongst whom he finds two familiar names con flannery and micky grear who are
hardened criminals serving life term for
heinous crimes like murder and armed robbery
Professor lumiere is puzzled what is thorblen upto in company of such criminals who are locked away for life?
Garth suddenly realizes that thorblen wants to spring these
criminals out of jail for committing some atrocious crime .he asks professor to
contact Scotland yard .
Later on at Scotland
yard garth reveals his apprehensions to
police superintendent and request him to
lock him up in the cell of con flannerry and micky grear on some pretext as garth wants to be present when thorblen
sets his evil plan in motion by following
these jailbird after the jailbreak.
Garth’s plan is set into motion and police puts him as a
criminal under trial in the same cell as flannery and greer at pantonville
jail.
Thorblen is observing pentonville jail facility in London—so
they keep their life sentenced criminals here? Ha! Our facility at ishran was
much tougher.he seems to scoff at so called high security penitentiary.
Thorblen uses his amazing powers and communicates with two
criminals seemingly speaking directly in to their minds, they are informed that
shortly they are going to be sprung from jail and to plug their ears to protect
them from debilitating ultrasonic waves which are beyond endurance of human eardrums
and which are going to be used by thorblen on prison guards to temporarily immobilize
them.
Garth is watching flannerry and greer slip in to a trance
like state and realizes that thorblen ‘s plan has been set in motion and pretending to be dozing he overhears flnnery
telling excitedly that they are to be taken out of prison who is sushed into
silence by greer who admonishes him for
being indiscreet.

Garth watches flannery and greer plugging their ears and
decides to do the same. outside the prison walls thorblen orders johny warren
to keep the car engine running till he comes back with the prisoners
Thorblen uses his occult powers to generate ultrasound
waves beyond the tolerance of human
ear, noice of motor engine running is magnified manifold prison guards are
continuously bombarded with this relentless sound frequency , till they find
their ears and brains almost split open and are writhing in agony and thorblen
taking advantage of the confused helpless guards enters the cell of flannery &greer who are being watched by garth when
they follow thorblen running out in to the corridor, garth follows discreetly keeping in shadows and when they
burst out of prison doors garth asks thorblen to take him along with others he
is halted by the warren gang when they brandish pistols at him telling thorblen
that he was not one of their own gang members.however thorblen watches garth
shrewdly and instinctively feels the power and intelligence different from
other humans he had encountered till then , he admonishes warren and decides to
take garth aboard.
Car carrying garth
and escaped felons reaches a farmhouse hidden away in woods where garth meets
many escaped convicts who have been sprung from other prisons and are passing
time having drinks and renewing anecdotes of their escapades in the past
while waiting for the orders from their benefactor.

Thorblen inspects his
bunch of cutthroats when he is informed
by johny warren that all the criminals as desired by him had now assembled
under one roof and were waiting for orders thorblen
asks warren to let them rest for the night and he will be revealing his
big plans for them in due course of time ,garth goes to bed sharing the same
dormitory in company of flannery and
greer and wonders what happens next .what thorblen is up to with this group of
losers?
While thorblen is
having good time with johny warren’s girl disiere who is trying to please him
and is terrified by what thorblen might be planning next., at the same time
garth is watching two escaped convicts late in the night who have not met their
people in very long time planning to make a getaway, he decides to follow them
and utilize the time to sneak away and telephone professor lumiere as to the
progress made,but escape does not go unnoticed as thorblen is watching from a
window and is furious at seeing flannery and greer escape he decides to teach
them a lesson and using his occult power of the ring of sycultra he invokes
demonic powers which turns two small harmless squirrels in to huge monstrous
creatures.dizrie is also watching horrified standing at the window by the side
of thorblen , what have you done to them?” I have enlarged them and given them
ferociousness of a tiger. Now the fun begins, watch!”
Garth is following the two criminals when suddenly greer
spots the horrible creature[giant squirrel and before flannery
could take any action a snarling brute jumps at him and knocks him down, Garth
picks up a garden bench in his powerful arms and calls out to greer to escape
while he prepares to tackle the huge brute with the steel bench.
