The Ninja Immovable Heart Page #3

---

The unknown man is bringing

the officer back to safety.

We are unsure of who he

is. This is unbelievable.

Apply pressure here.

It'll stop the bleeding.

What did you just do to him?

Get somewhere safe!

Excuse me. Wait! Who are you?

I'm going to need to get a statement!

And a story!

What's that?

A folded up piece of paper.

I mean what are you doing with it?

Holding it.

Whatever.

Look, they will take you somewhere safe.

Somewhere warm.

No they won't. No one helps anyone.

- It's healing.

- What?

Some cultures say they can

channel natural energy for healing.

To heal situations.

To make them how you want them to be?

No. To restore balance.

To make them the way they're meant to be.

That's cool.

Just breathe, my boy.

There is much more going on around you

than you at first perceived.

You are having an awakening.

I have no idea what that means.

This can become rather confronting.

It goes against years of programming

of what you've been trained

to believe is true or not true.

From our early years of development

our natural senses have been trained

to what is considered

to be a "normal" level,

and we're led to believe

that is as far as it goes.

But your senses

are developing much further.

Examples are all around us,

in the air we breathe,

in radio waves, microwaves,

infrared waves,

hidden energy at the

normal level of development.

Look around at all that is

limiting self development.

Smoking.

Smoking limits the amount of oxygen

a person can take in as energy.

Oxygen travels throughout

every blood cell in our bodies.

Excessive drinking and drugs,

there goes our ability to

reason and think straight.

Hmm,

throw in

one-night-stands

and there goes the base

and grounding in life.

But what if we shift their

focus to just the physical?

Like, say,

chasing possessions, or money.

However much they have,

they're never fully satisfied.

Never knowing what energetic effects

these "accepted" social norms have on them.

There is no balance,

but you are feeling it,

and beginning to see it.

Father, there are assets

all over this room.

This isn't the time.

I don't know how long I'll be in there.

What do we do?

You dance.

- Dance?

- Dance.

The dance floor is the best position

to watch the room from all angles.

With him?

Actually, I'm feeling

much better right now.

Good girl.

Have fun.

You okay?

Fine.

You don't look fine.

Maybe you're going through an awakening.

I can't dance.

It's all right, I can.

Right, now if anything should go wrong...

With the dance?

With the mission.

We fall back to where we first met.

Coffee shop. 4:
40.

Now what could go wrong?

You're a little well done, aren't ya?

I'm going to get a burger,

want anything?

No?

Hang around. I'll be back soon.

You're taking a very big chance.

They won't be back for a while.

I meant with me.

You're not like the others.

I know you can help us.

What others?

Sir, you might wanna take a look at this.

What is this?

Global Tech data.

Reports of bomb tests over the years.

This is precognition information

about the school incident.

Seems it was a test site.

It wouldn't have made any

difference if we got there or not.

I'm sorry, sir, it appears that you were...

The fall guy.

Global Tech set us up to take the fall.

Correct. You have ten minutes

remaining or people will die.

How did you obtain this information?

Put the call up onto the screen.

Well, my old friend.

How is our guest doing?

I trust you're making him comfortable.

Oh yes, I'm being a very attentive host.

We're getting closer.

His body is weakening.

So you have him.

Well, let's just say...

...our methods begin...

...where most governments' end.

Send them in.

And we were offered assistance

by a very special group of people.

I've felt pain.

Are you all right?

I've seen others hurt and suffer.

Gah!

What do you think you're doing?!

You're going to get yourself killed!

I don't care!

Well aren't you the tough guy hero?

I'm no hero.

Now you just choose to live.

Dying's not tough, kid,

anybody can do that.

But to live, persevere, to keep

going, until all is not lost,

that takes real strength.

You can choose who you want to be.

Come on.

Well, I wish I was more like you.

Not feeling pain seems

to run in your family.

You're all right, soldier.

What happened here?

Ambush.

Weeks ago.

I'm all that's left.

My men were tortured.

By who?

That's the thing.

It looked like our own side.

Special forces.

We were escorting families.

No trace of them now.

A military test site,

a day and a half away,

supposed to be empty.

Okay, just relax.

Rest.

You remember what it's like when you rest.

Your head feels heavy...

...your eyes rest...

...your whole body becomes heavy

and rests.

A military test site that's

supposed to be empty but it's not...

Black ops?

Only a day and a half away.

We'll be there by tomorrow afternoon.

Good. We should get going.

Sit down, son.

You've got to leave the baggage.

It's slowing you down.

Oh, I know your angry.

I know about anger too,

and I know about loss.

And I also know that

one leads to the other.

My boy was very angry.

I kept him away from the training.

I thought it was better, safer,

for him and his sisters,

Sarah and Erika...

...she was just a little kid at the time.

And then one day

I got the call to come home.

Someone had broken in...

The police said it was

a burglary gone wrong,

junkies off their heads,

looking for some cash for a quick fix.

They were armed.

My wife distracted them

long enough for Sarah to take Erika

and hide down in the laundry chute

where they at least were safe...

I remember

the smell of the rain in the air

on the day of the funerals...

...and I remember

how I felt...

...anger.

My wife and my boy, gone...

...because I wasn't there.

Because I never taught them

how to protect themselves.

I know a few things about baggage.

How... did you keep going?

I looked down

and I saw two tiny girls' eyes...

...with just as much sadness as my own...

...staring back up at me.

And I knew then...

...that I had to let the anger go.

My actions would speak louder

than any words I could utter to them.

I knew then,

that for my girls...

...I could become the hero.

You are strong.

What are you protecting?

Where is this strength coming from?

You keep avoiding me.

I don't trust you.

After everything we've been through, why?

- Protection.

- From what?

Your problem is you want to save everyone.

Not everybody wants to be saved.

You wear your heart on your sleeve

and it makes you vulnerable and weak.

I've shut mine down.

There's more to life than fame and money.

Wait, wait, wait.

I've been going about this all wrong.

I'm a bad host.

I should make you feel more at home.

So to do that

I've invited some guests.

I believe you all...

...are... old friends.

You don't have to be afraid.

That's what scares me.

I've been afraid my whole life.
