Pandoras Gift
Chapter 1 - Prologue
"My dear Son. If you get this message it means i am no longer alive. I am sorry that we didnt have more time to spend together but after our last fight the gap between us wasnt to overcome anymore. And even though you only had problems with me and my work, i have to burden you with it one more time. I fear that this letter will be intercepted so i cant tell you everything. Short version: i discovered something. Something big. Something that other people want for themselves and i cant let them have it. You have to go to the place we once shared great memories with and get my greatest treasure. Dont worry it will be there. Then it is up to you i fear. The fate of the world may rest uppon your shoulders. Sincerly, your loving Dad."
I finished the letter and sealed it, then gave it an indian boy together with a few dollars. "To the post office, quick" My indian wasnt fluent but the boy nodded and ran off. Steps were becoming louder behind me and i looked around. Need to get far away from here. I started to run down an alley and through a group of people who shouted something after me. I am sorry, but i cant excuse myself. Something flew past me and cut my ear. Something warm began to fall down from the cut. Blood. I should never have taken this job, i knew they were shady. But now it is to late for that. I jumped over a car only to get hit by nother one. I felt the impact of it, my ribs were shattered as i flew through the air and rolled over the ground. Soon i was surrounded by men in black, pistols were pointed at me.
"Professor, it didnt had to be like this. If you would just have given us your god damn book you wouldnt be laying on the ground here but instead would be a rich man." I spitted some blood at them. "And would have doomed humanity for eternity." The woman chuckles. "Humanity became too big. Nature cant rebalance itself so we are just wanting to help her. What are a few billion dead people if our Planet survives?" She pointed her pistol at my face. "Where is the book?" I chuckled and held my side as i felt that my blood slowly filled my lungs. "Out of your reach, along with the map. Yes i found the others too, too bad i didnt tell you that huh?"
The woman glared at me and stepped with her foot in me, the highcheel digging into my chest. "Dont worry Professor, we will find the others too. And your book. Its just a matter of time." She pointed the pistol at my head. Who would have thought that the discovery of a glass obelisk would be such a trouble maker. I saw a light inside the Pistole and then everything was black. The woman steps away from the corpse. "Find that book! We need it to find the other obelisks!" "Miss Winterfield, where should we start searching?" The woman grins. "The family. Always start with the family. He had a son right? Find him." She stepped into an SUV and leaned back as it she left the town in it. We are too close to the secrets of the obelisks, i wont let this chance fade.
