Saved! Now What?

"Mr I-"

"No need to say much!" Mr Ivan carried Lydia in a bridal style with one arm, the other carried Ryan.

"How did you find us Mr Ivan?" Ryan asked, clutching to the man's coat.

"Well, let's explain," He said, as Ryan nodded, "So, I was answering a call from the world's most annoying and irritating man when I saw Lydia moving around. Confused by her presence, I knew she was eavesdropping on my conversation….."

"Do you know I'm right here?" Lydia angrily nudged him.

"Yes my dear, I know quite well that you are here listening to your crimes" he answered with a strange unreadable smile.

"You are smiling!" The shock in Ryan's eyes was legendary. "This is the first time I've seen you smile in years!"

Upon hearing this, Mr Ivan's face went cold again.

"Oh I know what's happening here" Ryan's smile went wide. "You are in love with Miss Lydia"

The entire room went quiet and so did the burning flames.

"So as you were saying…" Lydia quickly cut in, directing the word to Mr Ivan with a red flush.

"Y-yes," Mr Ivan cleared his throat trying not to look at Ryan whom kept on giving him raised brows and smiles, "So, as I saw Lydia spying and eavesdropping, I had to watch her next move and that again was eavesdropping on Mr Frenado's wife cry. Although far, I could hear each and every word from the woman's cry.

Then out of shock, I saw Miss I-can-save-him entering into the burning mansion like a hero with no cape. With my phone off, I looked at the mansion blowing up and crumbling, then I made a decision–Saving two lives.

Walking into the mansion, I used the stairs which we can't use again because it broke and as we all know, was destroyed….."

"Why didn't you use the elevator?" Ryan interrupted.

"Whoa Ryan you are so brilliant!." Mr Ivan grunted. "I could have taken the elevator instead of the stairs! Whoa why didn't I think of that? WHEN THERE IS FIRE AND THE ELEVATOR IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED! YES I COULD HAVE TAKEN THE ELEVATOR!!"

"Okay."

Heaving a sigh, Mr Ivan continued, "I passed different rooms and sometimes thought you guys were roasted. But these thoughts went down to the drain when I heard Ryan's voice. Bust through the walls and I'm here"

"Thanks for coming on time" Lydia's voice made him realize he had been standing, carrying two heavy humans for the last twenty minutes.

"You're welcome" he slightly smiled.

"I knew it! You two are love birds" Ryan screamed out.

"Shut up boy and let us think of a way to get out of this burning mansion" Mr Ivan said as his eyes roamed around the room before settling on the window, whose glass was broken. "Have you ever wondered how it would be to fly?"

"Wait a minute!" Lydia was quick to get his idea. "Are you planning to jump?"

"Yes?"

"No! I better prefer dying in these flames than for me to land on that ground, only to open my eyes and be in the heavens!" Lydia struggled to get away from his grip, but he was way stronger.

"Please Miss Lydia, I want to fly," Ryan pleaded.

"Fly and die, no thanks"

"Good, let's go" Mr Ivan immediately said, jumping out from the window.

"MR IVAN!!!" Lydia held him tightly with her eyes closed.

"Don't worry, none of you will have a single scratch.

"How did you have the idea to jump down from the twentieth floor?" Ryan asked.

"That was the only way, child!"

Lydia on the other hand wasn't enjoying the fall which seemed not to end. Her heart was praying for a miracle.

'I will never eat fried chicken' she lamented in her thoughts.

MEANWHILE,

On the ground level, two firefighters were watching the mansion burn, as they got the highest instruction not to end the fire, as this fire was one of a kind.

"Hey dude," one of the two men, who goes by the name Mark, called to his fellow, Dan.

"Yes what?"

"Did you see that cockroach falling from the building?" He pointed out.

"No dude, cockroaches can't be that big. I would say a bird with a strange body structure!" Dan smiled with his hands akimbo.

"Erm, I'm guessing it's a…" Mark narrowed his eyes, then he saw what it was. "Oh my God! It's a h-"

"Horse?" Dan guessed out.

"No, it's a-"

"Huge rock?"

"For real?! It's a human-"

Before Mark could finish his word, the 'object' landed on the ground.

As the others came to the dust, they all had their jaws dropped, right after seeing it was Mr Ivan who landed.

On two feets.

Without a broken bone.

Carrying Lydia and…..

"Ryan!" His mother yelled out as she ran to her son. "I'm so grateful Mr Ivan, thanks for saving my child"

"Mom, Miss Lydia helped too" Ryan pointed at Lydia who looked like someone whose soul left its body.

"You too Miss Lydia.'' The woman shakes her weak hand which she realized not to ever do again.

As the woman walked away, a car pulled over. The driver literally threw his passengers on the wet grounds, went back inside and drove away. That was right after he screamed out..

"You three are pests to society!"

His passengers were no one else than Mr Fred, Jace and Janice.

The three of them got up, dusting their clothes.

"You could have seen my wrath if I'd applied the right gel!" Mr Fred yelled at the driver who was long gone.

"Oh my God! Lydia!" Jace smiled, running to the girl with a warm embrace.

He ran with so much force and strength, his arms spreaded for a long hug when suddenly, he tripped over a small stone, half the size of an ant and fell not even close to Mr Ivan.

"Ouch."

Lydia however woke up when she heard Jace's voice, but her concern was on Mr Ivan for the time being.

"You landed on two feet from a high fall, with us in your arms, safe!"

Mr Ivan was about to answer when different screeching and vrooms were heard.

Looking at the road, Lydia watched in shock as a fleet of lustrous cars came flying in.

One in particular caught her attention, as the car made itself top amongst all.

Armed men with suits came out, opening the door of the car. The man who came out made Ryan shiver in fear.

"Mr Frenado."
