The Mysterious Figure

The next morning, when Will woke up, he could still hear the sirens being blared outside. It seemed like as if the hubbub from the 'mysterious' explosion is still scaring the neighborhood. No one had slept all night, except for him of course. Everyone was still scared about the blast, wondering when it will strike again.

While walking down the alley to McGraham School, he kept on hearing the people around him asking about the explosions.

"Dude, did hear the explosion last night?"

"Yeah, sounded like a lightsaber, pfhew phew."

"Was like one as well. I mean, did you even see the laser beam, it was so rad."

"Bro, it did not even make sense."

"Who did you even call bro. Lemme punch some sense into you."

Meanwhile, the perpetrator of all this, Will, merely just laughs meekly, and speed-walks his way into the school, unaware of the ramifications that he had just caused.

Unbeknownst to Will, while he is enjoying his school life, an indiscreet black vehicle is seen meandering its way through the traffic, back to the location where the blast had stopped. Out from it stepped a brown haired woman, clad in an all black suit, while having her hair tied into a bun. She walked briskly into the crime scene, and when the police wanted to stop her, she shared her identity, which surprisingly showed her as an agent of the government, specifically the Paranormal Investigation Bureau.

When the police on the scene wanted to ask who will take charge of the scene, all they heard was a cold reply "We will handle this scene. You are requested to hereby evict from these premises. This is no longer a part of your jurisdiction." When the nearby police heard this, they all felt chills deep in their souls, as if they were plunged into an ice bath. They all quietly left the place, without any fuss, for they do not want to incur her wrath.

"Matilda, what do we have hear." A monotonous voice is heard from inside the vehicle, to which she replied, in a respectful and awed manner "Sir, what we have here is a Class B explosive laser cannon situation. The person capable of this must be an unlucky chap who must have gotten ahold of a Toy. We should be able to triangulate their position by sundown today."

"Okay then Matilda, do your duty. Keep me informed if anything, 'irregular', occurs again. Oh, and do try your best to shorten it, and also try to make it as accurate as possible." The voice, know recognized as being male, droned on.

"Will do sir. Yes sir."

After Will's school finished, which today happened to be more exciting than usual (due to rumors of aliens and supernatural beings being spread around in school), he quickly left school to go to his favorite joint: Humbaba Burger. Old man Jeremy helmed the kitchen, and him knowing Will's situation, always took pity on him and gave him extra servings whenever he passed by.

While on the way to the burger shop, Will stopped. For on the road stood a man, who called out to him "Hello young man, do you know where 123 Andrew Street is?"
