Chapter 5

He immediately stomped hard on the ground. The concrete beneath his foot cracked under the pressure as he shot out like a bolt of lightning to catch the kid. His toes tapped off the front of the car as he floated a few meters backward lightly and landed on the ground gently.

Just as Wilbur put the kid down, the witnessing passers-by let out cries of disbelief.

One woman rushed over upon crying out, pulling the child in for a hug and inspecting him for injuries.

The driver had gotten out of the car as well. She made sure that the kid was alright before walking up to Wilbur.

Wilbur shrugged. “What a coincidence.”

“I’m so sorry, Boss. It’s my fault for not paying attention. Are you alright?” Faye stood where she was, panicking.

“I’m fine.” Wilbur shook his head.

He came up to the child and checked for injuries before turning to the child’s mother. “Is everything alright?”

“Yes, yes… Thank you so much… I was just paying at the store when this kid ran out on his own.” The child’s mother was in shock as well, stuttering as she spoke.

Wilbur smiled. “I’m glad you’re both fine.”
