The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 13

 

 

Outside the Callahans’ villa. 

Dozens of jeeps screeched to a halt as the soldiers that had ridden them here charged onto the Callahans’ home. 

Panic erupted amongst the Callahans. Lex, who had gone to bed, got up again and approached the soldiers in his pajamas. “What’s happened, sir?” he asked the leader frantically, his face pale.

With their order issued, two soldiers grabbed Lex by his forearms and dragged him away. 

 

The others, still groggy from sleep, were also forcibly pulled into the jeeps. 

Meanwhile, a loud bang erupted from Thea’s home. Benjamin and Gladys were awoken suddenly as soldiers filed in and dragged them away.
