If someone is as big as Adam, then if nothing else, he is very good at running. Jamie was in the grip of his giant little brother. Adam held him gently, but firmly enough to keep him from falling out. Unfortunately, the teenage boy's hands soon became sweaty, so Jamie was forced to rub himself between the sweaty and oily skin again.
Adam ran amid an earth-shattering rumble. He paid no attention to his surroundings, only to disappear from the scene as soon as possible. His huge feet left deep footprint-shaped pits and he trampled on dozens of trees and bushes and broke them into pieces.
Jamie was in no position to stop his little brother's rush. Adam thought very simply and for some strange reason he didn't really know or didn't want to understand that because of his size he couldn't behave like other children. Jamie rather thought he didn't want to understand. According to Adam, if he doesn't pay attention to it, it's not important. Because of this, he didn't really consider the dangers of his size when he acted. The results of this were broken roads and destroyed houses.
For this very reason, if something is wrong, it is best to run far away and not be caught. Unfortunately, this is not true when someone leaves footprints the size of a house and rises far above the surrounding landscape.
When Jamie suggested that they get out of there, he meant that they slowly sidestep at Adam's walking speed, which is fast enough, not this crazy earth-shattering rush.
When the lakeside houses collapsed and the alarms went on, the police quickly appeared on the scene. It wasn't hard to figure out what happened. A footprint already revealed the culprit. Since it was damage caused by a giant, the police alerted the special unit dealing with it.
Two police helicopters arrived at the scene in a few minutes and easily followed the clearly visible footprints. Soon they saw the boy running in the distance.
Until the helicopters reached Adam, the ground units blocked the route the boy was running on.
Adam knew he was in trouble when he heard the unmistakable sound of helicopters. He had heard them many times. He first thought of trying to runs away from them. There was little chance of this anyway, since he was already starting to suffocate while the machines did not. He finally convinced him to stop when he saw the flashing and siren cars in front of him, among which were two dark vehicles that looked frighteningly like tanks.
Adam slowed down and, in order to stop in time, dug his feet into the ground. He slipped a short distance, which plowed two deep ditches in the ground. Grass, trees, stones and earth flew through the air. By the time he stopped, his toes were close to the nearest police car.
The helicopters began circling around him. They ordered him to sit down and not move over the loudspeaker.
Adam sat down and placed Jamie on the ground.
Jamie quickly got over his nausea and walked over to the approaching police to greet them.
"Good morning officials! Is there a problem?"
"Who are you?" A mustachioed policeman asked.
"My name is Jamie and my little brother and I are having some brotherly bonding fun."
"It is outside the area allowed for the use of giants." The man said. "Also, based on the boy's traces, there is a strong suspicion that a large amount of material damage was also caused."
"It's not my fault that those holiday homes were assembled incorrectly!" Adam protested, sniffing from above.
"We also received a report from the nearby residential area. Several private properties were damaged and one house completely collapsed." Here he looked at Adam. "Do you know anything about this?"
The boy didn't say anything, he just bit his lip and nervously dug his toes into the ground.
"A report must be made about this and the boy's guardian must fill out a form which..." Here Jamie interrupted the man.
"Yeah, yeah. I know. I've done it a couple of times." He sighed.
"Since there were no personal injuries, a serious punishment is unlikely, but some restrictions are possible for your little brother." The man took out a notebook. "I would like to ask for your contact information so that possible insurance agencies can contact you for the necessary details."
Jamie was a veteran in this field. Most insurance companies do everything they can to avoid having to pay, so they tend to ask a lot of questions if a giant causes damage.
Jamie looked at Adam. The boy wringed his fingers sadly.
"I'm sorry." He said softly. "I screwed up again."
