The Virus, chapter 1.
It was a quiet night in Chicago. The sky was filled with stars and the moon was full.
Lucy Knight was sitting in her room watching TV. She had just returned from work and was
ready to go to bed.
"The meeting between all the world leaders will be held...."
She turned of the TV and the light in the small living room. Just as she lay down on her comfortable bed and closed her eyes, someone knocked on her door. Her eyes flew open and she got up and walked to the door. Who could be visiting her now? It was 3 am.
She opened the door and a guy around the age of 25 was standing right outside. His clothes were
dirty and it looked like he was bleeding. The sweat ran down his forehead and he looked
scared. Lucy had never seen him before. He stepped into the apartment before she got any
chance to ask who he was. He closed the door with such force, that she was sure that everyone in the building had heard it. Lucy was scared and stepped away from the guy. He quickly looked around in the apartment and then started to look for something in his pocket.
He pulled a little box out that was wrapped up in some green paper. He spoke fast and his voice was filled with fear.
"You..you..gotta take this one and protect it with yo..your life. He ca..ca..can't have it. Promise me. Protect it."
He unwrapped the little box and gave it to her. His hands were shaking and his eyes kept
looking at the door. Lucy wasn't sure if she should take the little box. Who was this guy?
It could be a killer or something. She really didn't get any time to think as the man just
threw the box to her and ran out of the door. She carefully picked up the tiny box.
Suddenly she heard five shots being fired. She dropped the box and let out a little
scream. What was happening? She heard some voices out from the little hall. They came
closer and closer.
"He must have given it to someone. Find it! NOW!"
It was probably the box they were looking for, but the guy said she should
protect it. She picked up the little box just as three men entered the apartment. They all had
a gun in their hand. They looked at the box Lucy was holding in her shaking hands.
"Give it to us!" one of the men spoke with a very harsh voice.
Lucy's mind was spinning and she felt all fuzzy. It was like she really didn't think as she
ran into her bedroom, through the window and out of the fire escape. The men
followed her and their heads popped out from the window. Bullets were flying past Lucy's
head while she ran down the stairs. Everything was going so fast that she really didn't
think. It felt like her mind was shut down and her legs did all the work. The next thing she knew
was how she ran in to the hospital. Everybody looking at her running through the chaos of
patients in her pyjamas. She opened the door to the lounge and ran to her locker. Carter was
packing his things ready to go home. He looked up and saw a very scared Lucy opening
her locker and hiding a little box behind her extra clothes.
"Lucy, what are you doing here..." He looked down at her "In your pyjamas?"
asked Carter confused.
"I..I need to speak to you. I really don't know what to do." Lucy said out of
breath from running from her apartment to the hospital.
She grapped his hand and dragged him out from the lounge. She quickly found an
empty exam room. Carter followed her into the dark room. She locked the door and sat
down on one of the chairs. She didn't say anything, but just sat there thinking about what happened in the last 15 minutes. Carter paced around the room waiting for Lucy to talk. She looked
very scared and confused. After a couple of minutes Lucy started to talk. Carter sat down
next to her and listened to her very carefully so he wouldn't miss a word. She told him
everything. About the guy who was shot, or she was pretty sure was shot. About the three
men who had guns and were shooting at her. About the little box and what the guy told her.
Carter was shocked. It sounded like Lucy had been through a lot in the last thirty
minutes. It would probably be best to give the box to the police and let them find out
what this was about. Carter was very concerned about Lucy. She still looked very scared.
"Come on, I'll drive you home." He took her hand and led her out to his jeep. She
out on her seatbelt and they drove to her apartment. Carter followed her up to her door
to make sure she was okay. They agreed that they would drive to the police station the next
morning. They both had the next two days off.
He said goodbye to her and drove home to his own apartment. He didn't even get a chance to
take his coat off before someone was opening his door. Four men entered and
grabbed Carter. They dragged him out from his room and down to a car. He couldn't scream since
one of them was holding a gun to his head. One of the men, who had a scar from his left
eye to the bottom of his cheek, pushed him into the car. The car started to move and
slowly drove away from the building. Two big guys were sitting next to Carter. They didn't make
any expressions. They were driving for about five minutes, just as a car came running
over the red light. It all happened in two seconds and the next thing Carter remembered was lying four feet away from the burning car. He could hear the sirens coming closer. He pulled
himself up from the ground and started to run. He had to get away from the guys, but where would
he run to? This had to be connected with what happened to Lucy. Maybe they knew he knew, so
they had to find him. Lucy's apartment was only two blocks away, so he decided he would go
there. Carter knocked on the door and two seconds later Lucy opened the door.
"Carter?" she asked "What are you doing here?"
She moved from the doorway so Carter could come into her apartment. She locked the door and
sat down on the couch.
"Four guys came to get me. They had guns and everything. I got in the car, but it crashed into another car. I didn't know where to go, so I just came here. It has to be
something connected to what happened to you, don't you think?" He spoke really fast and
it was hard to hear what he said.
"Oh my God, are you okay?" Lucy was shocked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he said. "We need to get the box. I think they are trying to get it. Maybe they thought I had it."
"Yes, just wait five minutes. I need to get changed." She was only wearing pyjamas and was
certainly not going back to the hospital only wearing her pyjamas again.
They arrived at the hospital and got the box. They didn't wanted to be stopped by a lot of people so they quickly left again. When they got back to Lucy's apartment they decided they wanted to take a look at the box. It had to be something very important since those guys were looking for it. Lucy opened the box.....
