The Crime Fighting School, Sanctum Academy

In the year 2000, the rise in criminal activity rose to an overwhelming high across the world. So a school was created to help stop crime altogether and help the police capture them.

In the year 2070, a girl named Dana Rose became the most popular crime fighter in the world. She was 35 years old at the time and was pregnant with her child at the same time.

She gave birth to the baby girl 3 months later. Her name was Jessica Rose.

22 years later, she married Trevor Forbes from a wealthy family.

5 years later, Thomas Forbes was born.

15 years later, both Jessica and Trevor Forbes were killed in action against the most dangerous man in the world, Raymond Graves.

The very next year plus a month, Dana called Thomas and Thomas said, “Thomas speaking.”

Dana said, “It’s your grandma.”

Thomas asked, “How may I help you grandma?”

Dana answered, “I don’t remember how old you were because we haven’t kept in touch. Last time I recall you being 11 years old. And that was 7 years ago, right.”

Thomas said, “Nope. That was 5 years ago. I’m 16 now.”

Dana heard that and said, “You are 16 years old now. Now that’s a surprise. How about you come to Sanctum Academy? Train to fight crime to help out the police.”

Thomas heard that and answered, “I don’t know. I’ll think about it. You are calling a month too late, you know.”

Dana laughed and said, “It’s never too late to join son.”

Thomas looked at the window and a person appeared out of nowhere and Thomas opened his eyes wide and then fell to the ground and a bullet flew through the glass and Dana asked, “What was that Thomas?”

Thomas answered, “Someone wants me dead. But who cares. I’ll call you back.”

Dana heard that and said, “Wait for someone to get there. Continue to talk to me.”

More bullets started flying into the house and Thomas stayed on the ground and crawled to the wall and Dana said, “Thomas. Speak to me.”

Everyone looked at Dana and Dana said, “Get the strongest 3rd year to my grandson’s house now.”

Everyone heard that and said, “She’s not available.”

The strongest 3rd year, Gina Rawlins took her radio out and said, “This is Gina Rawlins. I just apprehended Jane Kyle.”

Dana heard that and said, “Tell her now. Get to 403 Smith St., Keasbey, Woodbridge, New Jersey.”

One of them said, “Gina, we got your report. The headmaster has a special job for you. Go to 403 Smith St., Keasbey, Woodbridge, New Jersey and save her grandson. He is being attacked by an unknown enemy.”

Gina said, “Yes ma’am. I’m closeby to that location now.”

Dana said, “Also, bring him back to Sanctum Academy.”

Gina said, “Yes ma’am.”

Gina put the radio away and started running toward the house that she was told to go to and while she ran there, the people that were shooting up, Thomas’ house started to enter his house and Thomas grinned and stood up and started running up the stairs and a bullet hit his arm and Thomas grunted and the man in the back said, “Thomas Forbes, where are you?”

Thomas heard that and asked himself, “How does he know my name?”

The person in the front said, “Thomas, we know that you are here. I saw you through the window.”

The person on the left side said, “Thomas, show yourself. We won’t hurt you.”

The person on the right side said, “Thomas, please show yourself. We don’t want to hurt you. We didn’t even want to start shooting at you. But you leave us no choice.”

They said, “Surrender now and we won’t kill you, Thomas.”

Thomas appeared in his room and went to open his window and Thomas picked his phone and said, “Hey grandma, do you think that your friend could hurry it up? I really don’t want to jump out of a damn window and start running.”

Dana heard that and answered, “She’s on her way, Thomas. Just hang in there.”

Thomas walked to the door and saw them by the stairs and grinned and said, “Well, she’s not fast enough.”

Dana said, “Oh shut up Thomas. You need to calm down a little.”

Thomas yelled, “It’s easy for you to say. I’m the one getting shot at.”

Dana heard that and they said, “Thomas, it’s going to be ok. Just stand still. We’re almost there.”

Thomas grinned and turned around and said, “Screw this.”

Dana heard that and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

As soon as they went to grab him, Thomas started running and they started shooting at him and Thomas jumped out of the window and everyone saw that and Thomas yelled, “Oh shit.”

They grinned and yelled, “Get outside now.”

The neighbors ran outside and saw Thomas falling and Thomas hit the ground hard and Thomas grinned and screamed and the neighbors asked, “Are you alright, Thomas?”

Raymond Jimenez appeared and saw him and Thomas stood up slowly and Raymond saw all of the blood and asked, “Are you ok?”

Thomas answered, “Yeah.”

He started running and the men appeared out of his house and saw Thomas and yelled, “After him.”

Thomas grinned and Thomas jumped over fences to get to the highway and Gina saw him and Thomas started running through the street and the cars swerved around him and Thomas grinned and the men appeared and yelled, “Stop right there, Thomas. This is where we take you in.”

Thomas turned his head and smiled and started running again and a car flew passed him and the men saw that and said, “He’s insane.”

Gina said, “You gotta be kidding me.”

Gina ran after him and Thomas made it across the street and continued running with a limp and Gina chased him and caught up to him 5 minutes later and said, “Calm down. Are you ok?”

Thomas looked at her and said, “I was really about to die there. Oh well, you must be the person that my grandma sent to get me. Thomas Forbes is my name.”

Gina said, “I’m Gina Rawlins. It’s nice to finally meet you. But running across the street is dangerous.”

Thomas said, “It’s not a street, it’s a highway. And yes it was dangerous. I’m pretty insane. I also jumped out of a two story building.”

Gina heard that and said, “That’s why you’re bleeding so much. You need to go to the hospital.”

Thomas laughed and said, “Nah, I’ll be fine.”

Gina heard that and said, “Well, follow me. I’ll take you to Sanctum Academy.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Thank you.”

Gina took him to Sanctum Academy and it took them 10 days to arrive there. As soon as they arrived, Dana appeared and hugged him and Thomas said, “Hello. Long time no see.”

Dana said, “Long time no see, Thomas. Let’s go.”

Gina said, “I think that he should go to the nurse.”

Dana looked at him and said, “I agree. Take him there.”

Gina said, “Yes ma’am.”

Thomas looked at himself and said, “I guess so.”

Gina took him to the nurse’s office and left him there and the nurse saw Thomas and said, “Blood everywhere, huh. You look like shit kid.”

Thomas said, “I bet that I do. I jumped out of a two story building.”

The nurse said, “Lay back and I’ll nurse you back to health.”

Thomas laid down on one of the beds and the nurse started working on him. As soon as she washed all of the blood off of him, she noticed that she never seen him before and asked, “Who are you?”

Thomas answered, “I’m Thomas Forbes. The headmaster’s grandson.”

The nurse said, “Oh, you must be new here. I’m the nurse, Teresa Lyons. It’s nice to meet you, Thomas.”

Thomas said, “It’s nice to meet you as well, Ms. Lyons.”

Teresa smiled and said, “Well, I’m going to have to ask you to stay here for awhile because of all of your injuries. I’m going to stitch them all up so you could begin taking down criminals.”

Thomas said, “OK. I got nothing but time. So please do take your time.”

Teresa laughed and said, “You don’t seem happy.”

Thomas said, “I’m not. I’m scared to be here.”

Teresa smiled and said, “Well, don’t be scared, kid. Being scared is a sign of weakness.”

Thomas said, “I know that.”

Teresa said, “Well, I’ll be holding some high hopes in you kid. I’m counting on you.”

Thomas heard that and said, “You better not be counting on me. Count on yourself.”

Teresa smiled and said, “You really are a piece of work.”

Thomas closed his eyes and went to sleep for the rest of the day. 5 days later, he woke up and noticed that he was all stitched up and didn’t feel any pain on his body at all and said, “Hm, I feel a lot better now.”

Teresa said, “You are finally awake. Oh well, you did lose a lot of blood. Someone is here to see you.”

Dana appeared and said, “Hello Thomas.”

Thomas said, “Hello. How may I help you?”

Dana answered, “First off, get up. You got work to do. Second off, it’s good to see you again. But this time without all of the blood.”

Thomas laughed and stood up and Dana said, “And lastly, you have another visitor.”

Thomas heard that and Gina appeared and said, “Welcome back.”

Thomas said, “Never went anywhere. Sleep is good for a person. 5 days was good enough for me.”

Gina said, “Well, I’m going to take you to the mission board. As soon as you choose a mission, or you choose the same mission as someone else, you’ll have to be teammates throughout the entire thing. But before we go, we have to get you a weapon.”

Dana said, “Take him to the armory. Give him a weapon of his choice. And then take him to the mission board.”

Gina said, “Yes ma’am.”

Thomas looked at her and said, “Man, can’t I just sleep for one more day.”

They answered, “Nope.”

Thomas sighed and Gina grabbed his arm and they started walking like they were dating and Thomas saw that her arm was locked with his and asked, “Why is your arm locked with my arm?”

Gina answered, “So you won’t run away. And if you tried, I will stop you immediately.”

Thomas said, “OK.”

They appeared in the armory and Thomas looked at all of the weapons and said, “Swords, knives, daggers, guns, shields, armor, etc. It’s all here.”

Thomas walked to the swords and grabbed the smallest one and put it by his waist and said, “Good enough.”

Gina asked, “Are you sure that you want that as your weapon for the rest of your time here?”

Thomas answered, “Yep.”

Gina said, “That’s an interesting choice. People would usually choose a gun.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Well, I’m not normal.”

Gina said, “I can tell. Follow me please.”

Thomas sighed and said, “Sure thing.”

She then took him to the mission board and as soon as they got there, Thomas looked around and saw a mission in Washington DC and grabbed it and Gina sighed and said, “OK then. Are you sure that you want to take on this mission?”

Thomas answered, “Nope. But I’ll go.”

Gina said, “OK. Let’s take you to the helicopters.”

Thomas heard that and said, “OK.”

Thomas walked to the helicopters with Gina and Gina said, “Here we are. These are the helicopters that everyone takes. It seems that we’re going to Washington DC.”

The pilot heard that and said, “Get aboard. I was just about to leave to that exact location.”

They went on to the helicopter and the helicopter took off.

2: Thomas' First Mission Begins
Thomas' First Mission Begins

While they were on the helicopter, the pilot asked, “What part of Washington D.C. are we going to?”

Thomas answered, “The White House.”

The pilot heard that and said, “That’s a lot of responsibility for a newbie.”

Thomas said, “I can handle the pressure.”

Gina looked at him and said, “Just take us there.”

The pilot said, “Don’t rush me now Gina. We’re here already. I just need to contact them.”

Gina said, “Do it then.”

The pilot sighed and said, “Man, don’t rush me.”

The pilot grabbed the radio and then started speaking and then the Secretary of State walked into the President’s Office and said, “Sir, a helicopter with two students from Sanctum Academy have arrived.”

The President of the United States heard that and said, “Let them land.”

He said, “Yessir. You may land now.”

The helicopter landed and then the pilot said, “Thank you.”

He opened the door and then Thomas and Gina stepped off of the helicopter and then Gina closed the hatch and then they walked away from it and the helicopter took off and then the Secretary of State appeared and said, “Thank you for coming. Follow me please. The President is waiting for you.”

They followed him and then as soon as they appeared in front of the President, he looked up and saw Thomas and said, “Thomas Forbes, nice to see you again.”

Thomas said, “Likewise.”

Gina said, “You two know each other.”

The President said, “He used to date my daughter.”

Thomas sighed and said, “Yep.”

The President said, “She was quite depressed when she heard that you were moving out of Washington D.C., Thomas. Where are you now?”

Thomas answered, “New Jersey.”

The President said, “Well, enough with the chit chat, ok.”

They said, “Yessir.”

The President said, “You both came here for the job, correct?”

Gina answered, “I’m only observing his first job, sir.”

Thomas said, “I’m here for the job. She’s just a pain in the ass that’s following me.”

The President laughed and said, “You haven’t changed much, Thomas. Well, enough chit chat. Time for business, Mr. Forbes. I need you to protect my daughter.”

Thomas looked at him and then asked, “For how long, sir?”

The President answered, “For 2 weeks. You will also sleep with her.”

Thomas heard that and Gina smiled and said, “Shit. I can go home now, right?”

The President said, “Nope, you are already here. And you will not observe him. You’ll be here helping me out.”

Gina heard that and said, “You can’t be serious.”

Thomas said, “He’s serious. Anything he says goes, Gina.”

Gina said, “Oh come on now, you know this because.”

Thomas answered, “I’ve dated his daughter. Anything he says, goes. If he says that you are helping him out, please don’t fight. I don’t plan on going to jail just yet.”

Gina grinned and said, “Fine, I’ll help out.”

The President said, “Good. I appreciate your cooperation. And Thomas, tell your grandmother that I said hello.”

Thomas said, “You could do that yourself. You have her number.”

He said, “You’re right. I’ll do just that.”

He called her and then Dana picked up and said, “This is the headmaster of Sanctum Academy, how may I help you?”

The President said, “It’s the President of the United States.”

Dana heard that and said, “Oh, sir, what can I help you with today?”

He answered, “Nothing actually. I just have your grandson here.”

Dana asked, “What did he do? Break in or something?”

He laughed and answered, “No, he’s here for the job request that I sent to your school.”

Dana heard that and said, “Oh, the one for the Seniors only. He’s only a Freshman and a dumbass. He can’t read.”

The President laughed and said, “Can’t read my ass. He got all the way here by reading the damn poster, Dana. You should have faith in your idiotic grandson.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Don’t be taking her side now. Or I won’t protect your daughter and I’ll accept the jail time.”

The President heard that and said, “It seems that he has to go now. Would you like to speak with him?”

Dana answered, “Nope. You can hang up now.”

Thomas smiled and said, “Don’t hand me the phone.”

Dana heard that and Thomas grabbed and said, “Hello.”

Dana said, “He has a gun pointed to your head, correct?”

Thomas answered, “Yes. Guns are pretty convincing. Um, I can come home now, right?”

Dana laughed and said, “Only if Gina wants to go home.”

Gina heard that and said, “I do.”

Dana said, “Well, too bad. Get your asses to work and shut your damn trap. Thomas, you need to start reading. The mission had the words Senior’s only on it.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Well, I don’t care anymore. I’m already here. Goodbye.”

Dana heard that and said, “You really want to come home.”

Thomas answered, “Yes.”

Dana said, “Well, finish your job and then you can come home. 2 weeks, boy. Enjoy yourself.”

Thomas said, “Oh come on now.”

She hung up on him and Thomas hung up and said, “She hung up on me. And we’re not going home. So I’ll take the job. And she’ll work with you.”

He smiled and said, “Good enough, Thomas. She’s in her room. Enjoy.”

Thomas heard that and then walked to her room and Gina said, “He doesn’t need an escort anything?”

He answered, “Not at all. Thomas came over plenty of times. He knows where everything is.”

Gina said, “I see. Is he really a good kid?”

He answered, “Hell no. He’s a bloody criminal.”

Gina heard that and asked, “Why are you letting him protect your daughter then?”

He smiled and answered, “Because my daughter loves him and trusts him. He’s the best person for the job. Have I ever thought about arresting him? Yes, but will I? No.”

Gina looked at him and then he said, “Gina, listen carefully. Thomas is a good kid, but doesn’t know what to do with himself. He lost his parents to a man named Raymond Graves. I think Thomas is going to kill him. I want you to work with him on every job he takes to make sure he doesn’t kill anyone. But for this job, leave him be. My daughter will not allow him to kill anyone. She’s afraid of blood.”

Gina said, “OK.”

Thomas appeared in front of her room and knocked on the door and she asked, “Who is it?”

Thomas answered, “Room service.”

She said, “I didn’t order any food.”

She opened the door and then looked around and asked, “Where’s the cart?”

Thomas answered, “I’m not room service. It’s Thomas Forbes.”

She heard that and hugged him and then smiled and said, “You are back. You are back for good, right?”

Thomas answered, “I’m afraid not.”

She heard that and Thomas said, “I go to Sanctum Academy. I’m helping take down crime.”

She heard that and Thomas smiled and said, “So, what did I miss while I was gone, Melissa?”

Melissa Wilson answered, “I’ve become a target to the strongest organization in the world.”

Thomas said, “And that’s why your old man has asked for help from Sanctum Academy.”

Melissa said, “Yep. Why are you here?”

Thomas answered, “I accepted the job.”

Melissa heard that and then kissed him and said, “I’ve been waiting to do that for years. I really missed you, Thomas. I really did.”

Thomas said, “I missed you as well.”

Melissa smiled and then his phone rang and Thomas picked it up and said, “Thomas Forbes?”

Thomas answered, “Yeah.”

The man said, “Where are you boy?”

Thomas heard that and answered, “I can’t tell you that. Who are you?”

The man answered, “You don’t need to know that.”

The alarm went off and Thomas grinned and then the man said, “Take everything. Thomas, your friend, Raymond Jimenez is dead. You are next.”

Thomas heard that and he started laughing and then hung up and Thomas looked at Melissa and said, “Hm, that’s a bitch. There’s a psychopath in my house.”

The man called him back and said, “Oh, I’m going to tell you my name in 2 weeks when you get home. We’ll talk business. You better be alone.”

Thomas said, “OK.”

The man said, “OK. I’ll be waiting inside of your house.”

Thomas said, “Alright.”

The man said, “See you in 2 weeks.”

He hung up and then said, “I hope that I could get through to him. I wasn’t the man that killed your parents, Thomas.”
