CHAPTER 2

PAST YEARS

Doors swung open as the other 2 doctors came in. Rushing in with a dead broken, dead body. Another Big Daddy. Yet this one was badly battered and dead.

Clare rushed over knowing what she would need in order to get Ghost back up and running again. Ella stared frightened at the lifeless dead Big Daddy.

Clare looked at it's torn and drilled chest. Noticing the twisted bones and muscle sticking out. Clare went in grabbing and moving dead chunks she didn't need.

"Clare...?"said Ella

"Yes Ella?"asked Clare

"That's the same Big Daddy that tried killing Ghost and he tried capturing me"said Ella

"Don't worry Ella it's dead"said Clare

Clare stopped noticing on a torn cloth of the fabric material on it's chest. Reaching to hold it up to get a closer look at it.

She noticed the nickname of this Prototype and real Name, even it's serial Number. Ella looked back at Ghost seeing his breathing slowly going.

Thinking what else would he need. Clare noticed the tag with the name written "Glenn Gale Mulocks". Nickname was "Hawk".

Clare knew who this was. She lowered the name tag.

GHOST MEMORY STARTS...3 days after Ghost was shocked and had choked Andrew Ryan...

Bright lights shined. The Laboratory was large. 2 lines of 4 stations aligned next to each other, scientist had brought they're schematics and tools.

His eyes ached in pain. He looked down at his feet. His right arm ached in pain. Ghost slowly turned looking towards it. Seeing his right hand exposed.

2 Doctors checked his vitals and his situation. Ahead of him was another Big Daddy without his helmet. Getting the same treatment as he was.

Ghost looked towards his left side seeing another Big Daddy struggling and grunting. Ghost couldn't move his right hand. It felt almost like it was severed off.

Ghost looked forward again. Thinking of what had happened. Ghost looked forward as he heard the voices over the radio.

"What seems to be the problem?!"asked another scientist

"Sir, the drills have been having problems working as they're attached"said the scientist

Ghost looked back towards his right hand. Trying to flex his fingers. As he did he stared at the mechanical looking hand. Remembering he was shot in his palm.

It angered him as he struggled moving again. The Scientist looked towards him. He pulled and moved. The Big Daddy next to him yelled and spat onto the floor.

He looked at the other big Daddy beside him. Noticing Ghost and recognizing him. His eyes grew wide. He struggled speaking aloud. Ghost moved and moved.

"Sustain them! Keep them in line and make sure they don't break free again"said Andrew Ryan over the intercom

Ghost remembered who that was. The man who stole his life and gave him a cursed life with nothing to show for it.

Ghost moved again and broke the handle as he hit the Scientist working on his right hand drill.

Ghost looked towards his left seeing the other Big Daddy he knew. Stopping his escape. It was "Glenn Gale Mulocks". His face was badly bruised.

His bottom Jaw was stitched up with metal parts. His best friend who had gone missing for some days before he ever did. Glenn's eyebrows were gone.

His hair completely shaved. Ghost couldn't believe it. Andrew Ryan had taken him. Ghost was then knocked out again.

CHANGE OF VIEW STILL IN GHOSTS MEMORY...

Through the large black see through glass. Andrew Ryan smoked his Cuban cigar. He stared at the bodies of Subjects.

The many Big Daddies down below them. Beside him was another Researcher that had the same ideas as he did.

Andrew Ryan looked at Ghost getting knocked out unconscious.

"What's up with that one?"asked The Researcher named "Dakar Norman"

"Ghost...Micheal Hanson"said Andrew Ryan

"Brother to? Gregory Hanson? What has made you walk this path Ryan"asked Dakar

"He knew about his brother's mysterious disappearance and was getting closer to discovering us"said Ryan

"Abductions, kidnappings and for what? A lowlife detective within Rapture? He is going to be trouble you should have left him as he was"said Dakar

"You know better than this, I still think he should be dead"said Dakar

Andrew Ryan blew out smoke as he held his cigar. He stared continuously at Ghost as he struggled moving again.

"I believe second chances come and go, as much as I believe you this one is a perfect candidate for the program"said Andrew Ryan

"Second chances? Interesting, this man like the many other's will stir up more problems for us maybe cause something to rise within Rapture"said Dakar

Andrew looked towards him. Dakar's glasses covered his eyes. Both stood silently.

"War? The citizens won't do something that crucial, not as I am around they care about Rapture way too much to cause war against me"said Ryan

"Just think about it Ryan the people wont always be won over with silly motives that you throw at them, even the new announcement of these "Big Daddies"said Dakar

"The people will accept them as one of theyre own Dakar and there is nothing to fear, with the program practices and with the advancements what can go wrong?"asked Ryan

"Your really asking me that kind of question? Ryan you have seen the many set backs from death, to misbehavior and now the constant anger within them"said Dakar

"Few setbacks, nothing more and nothing less the Progam will continue"said Ryan

GHOSTS MEMORY ENDS...

BACK TO THE PRESENT TIME...CLARE CONTINUES WORKING ON FINDING A WAY TO BRING BACK GHOST

Clare grabbed the parts of Glenn's drill and right hand. Noticing the components necessary for Ghost to be able to use his right hand properly again.

To use his drill and weapons. He would need more in order to be able to move. Ella looked at Clare as she stood beside her.

"How well did you know Ghost?"asked Ella

"For 1 Year and 3 Months, before he was taken away"said Clare

"Taken? Like the me?"asked Ella

Clare stopped and looked back towards Ella. Remembering Ella had a family before the war within Rapture ruining the great under water city.

"Yes, his name is Micheal Hanson he was a Detective long before he was a Big Daddy and his job was to discover the missing individuals"said Clare

She looked forward again. Staring at the exposed body of Glenn. She stared at it's cold dead body.

"Glenn had gone missing for 4 days, Micheal had been searching for him and found nothing he was his best friend"said Clare

Ella looked at Ghost's body as it breathed in and out. Resting on the medical bed across from them.

"Micheal's brother ended up the same, as another victim Micheal never got to find out as I found out when we searched through files within the labs"said Clare

"Why was this done to him?And why me?"asked Ella

Clare looked at the ceiling thinking of how to explain this to her.

Wondering what kind of person would steal the lives of people and create them in there own image.

"Andrew Ryan did this, wanting to make new creations in Rapture a new way of life"said Clare
