The edge of Glory- Prologue
The coat could have only been a woman's. A large woman by the size of the mink coat. Now it lay gently on the intended victims shoulders.
A boy no older than fifteen clung to it like there was no tomorrow. he was small, tiny even compared to the fabric that surrounded him.
He just could not take it anymore. The shouting, the screaming and most of all the glacial faces of his parents. Was a bit of peace too big of a sacrifice?
Tom had grabbed the nearest coat and decided to walk out. There was not a single doubt in his mind that no one would miss him. Why should they?
Aimlessly Tom had wandered the streets. He was not aware that he was being watched. For a whole month by the man. Right from the time he had walked out of home the man's eye were on him.
He marvelled at how the boy reacted. Yes, the bot with some training and grooming could be the next great. The boy, Tom, had already lost his humanity.
Another thing less to worry. He had seen the feral wild eyes. The beautiful blue eyes, wilder than any animal he had layed his eyes on. He wondered how long ago that had been him?
The ferocity was still there. If not it had managed to manifest itself over the years. But he had started out exactly like this. Homeless and wild then he managed to get a lucky break.
Now he sauntered forward. The expensive Nike trainers hit the ground with a steady rhythm. In trainers Nikolei looked like any other man on a jog.
"Tom," he said clasping the boy's shoulder.
He predicted the turn to attack as well as the incoming foot to his groin. It was no surprise only a random bunch of basic self-defence. Nikolei had to give the boy credit though. Tom was fast and light on his feet.
No one suspected a thing. Why would they. Tom was officially another one of those street whelps. Another mouth to feed and look after by the government.
With practiced ease, he drugged Tom. Then he carried him over bridal style to the discrete white van. There was no number plate. No identification or oddity whats so ever. Nothing that would differentiate the white van from any other van in the world. Nikolei had made sure they bought the most common van.
