Chapter 4
After the meeting the elderly man and his entourage left the room. Gabriel stood there pondering what he has gotten him and all the people who just pledged their lives to a cause he only just discovered.
He thought to himself "am I really ready to lead them to war.' But something inside him said "These people believe in you why don't you start as well."
And with that he got of his bed then he started walking towards the door but as he was to open the door the door swung open and the scribe Allan came in the room then seeing Gabriel on his feet he said "You shouldn't be on your feet your body hasn't gotten use to the enhancements." Gabriel said in reply "You heard the old man there's a war and we need every able bodied trooper to fight if there's even the smallest chance of winning."
Then an elderly man in red robes came in to the room followed by the same girl blonde girl. The elderly man said "I agree with you we do need the men but what if you just collapsed on the field because your body couldn't handle the stress"
Gabriel saw his point then he sat down then the elderly man spoke again "The serum may have granted you many abilities but it also has too many unknowns so I have decided to inject you with this." He pulled out a needle which held a red liquid then he approached Gabriel.
Gabriel immediately bolted up then said "Who are you to decide what happens to me." He then attempted to punch the elderly man in the face but the blonde girl saw what he was doing and immediately went in between Gabriel and the elderly man then she tried to defuse the situation.
Seeing this Gabriel lowered his fist then the blonde girl spoke saying "Were just trying to help. We don't want to hurt you."
Gabriel then sat on his bed then gave the elderly man his arm then the elderly man left the room grumbling how he should thank him for saving his life.
Then Allan spoke he said "That was the most pissed off I've ever seen Rothschild. You have guts my friend and in my book that makes you badass."
He then picked up some charts beside Gabriel's bed then said "Well see yah I need to set you up with a training schedule so you can get back in the game ASAP God knows we'll need you."
Then he left the room leaving Gabriel and the blonde girl alone. Gabriel fiddled with his pockets then after a few minutes of awkward silence the blonde girl said "How are you feeling." Gabriel replied saying "Besides not knowing who the fuck I am, and well if I have any family or friends out there I'm pretty fine." Then the blonde girl said "Can you remember anything at all."
Gabriel replied saying "I remember my name, favorite color, date of birth and that my mom's dead, besides that my minds a blank slate." The blonde girl pursed her lips then said "My name's Sarah, I was your friend before the accident." Then Gabriel said using his charm and wit "It's nice to meet your acquaintance. Can you tell anything about me before the accident?"
Sarah was about to answer but her radio buzzed then she said "Maybe another time." Gabriel then pretending to be hurt "That's too bad, but yah I understand." Sarah taking pity on him said "Meet me at the mess hall at around 8 pm sharp." With that she left the room.
Gabriel then got up then exited the room. He immediately bumped into a guy peeping by his door.
He was around the same height as Gabriel; he was well built and had an Elvis Presley style haircut.
Gabriel immediately said "Sorry, Do you know where the restroom is." Then the guy said it's down the hall first right." Gabriel thanked him but he felt a strange familiarity with the stranger.
The stranger noticed him staring then said "Dude don't you remember me." Then Gabriel replied by shaking his head.
The stranger then said "Well that's kinda sad but never mind that names butch and by the high five." Butch raised his hand up then Gabriel high fived his hand.
Gabriel confused asked "What's the high five for." Butch answered enthusiastically saying "That my friend is for scoring that fine piece of ass that just left your room, now let's get some lunch."
