it must be a dream. Why would my friends and family call the police to lock me in an elevator? On the last floor it opens, revealing a dark room with a dim light with some people inside. The officer i killed yesterday, bloodied and with a sword, the two workers i had to kill both bloodied and cut. The scared guy I didn't kill, pierced by bullets but a calm air on his face. And the guy who brought us here, after we met at the start of all of this, that Prefect.
The first raises and points the sword at me "You kill , no remorse. Leave dear Hao with no man and family with no father , you make good dragoon, but bad friend to have"
The two come forward " We knew there was something wrong with you, fucking traitor. You gave us reasons to get you, but like a snake you escaped"
And the insecure guy comes forward calm but with crazed eyes " Why.. why did you leave me to die ? I never had something against you... but your friends... they... why didn't you SAVE ME !"
And finally "Why brother ? I took a liking to you, gave you a new purpose. And then brother, you didn't even kill me yourself, sent someone else to do it for you"
"Alright i killed you all so what? You would have killed me too. Where is your leader then ?"
"You mean the Chairman, brother ?"
"No ! No ! Where is that fucking bastard !"
"You pay now, dragoon"
"You brought this on yourself"
"SAVE MEEEE I DON'T WANT TO DIE !"
"Language, brother, he is not here with us"
"Where then"
"HA"
"HAHA"
"HAHAHA"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA"
I feel a cold feeling creep up my back and i turn
"Here, child GOING TO GET YOU !" And feel a hand grip my legs
"HAHH"
It was a fucking dream. Looking around i see its probably slept around two hours thanks to yesterday's events. I got something to eat and a bottle of whiskey, even being 5 a.m ... I even tried to breathe and focus but nothing came beside dozing off. Fuck this. Turning on the TV i close my eyes and listen
"... the end of the investigations on Eddie Winter announced in Cambridge..." WHAT?
"WHAT THE FUCK ?"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP DOWN THERE"
"Whatever"
Eddie Winter, that mob moss, no more investigations and all ?! THEY HAVE THE FUCKING EVIDENCE. RIGHT THERE AND THEY LET HIM GO. Good job America, good job. I wonder which company is deepthroating you now. Poseidon energy ? Repconn ? Vault tech ? Maybe all at once ?
I heard about a detective was looking for Winter like a mad man and just now they dont have anymore money ? Thats bullshit. Fuck the news
Limbs and mind heavy i put one of my tracksuits on. On the walls pictures about me and friends, along with family. At least the closest relatives. I decide to take them and put them in my wallet or on the table. With the chinese family picture. How can someone like that be happy, and someone happy be like that ? I wonder what kind of people are- no no better not. I'm going to wait until my usual friend wakes up. I take my car and sleepily drive there ...
An hour and half later he comes out of his home "Hi"
"What are you doing here ? You look like shit"
"And so do you. Have you slept ?"
"A little yeah, and you ?"
"Too little, more like a long nap. What have you told your wife ?"
He looks around "Come in the bunker and we'll talk better"
All cold and dark but with enough firepower and capable of housing people. This is what I said to my people.
"Sit. I told her we had a trip outside town with you and some guys, to go hunting and that we crashed with some drunkyard fuck. Then we had to search for help for hours"
"Did she believe it ?"
"Well yes but you know her, always concerned with the truth. And my perfect self"
"Did you say everything ?"
"No no, didn't get to that point"
"You said what happened, twisting the truth into a lie ?"
"Basically"
"So you tell the truth even when you lie ?"
"What does it mean ?"
"Nothing. Ah have you heard about that fucking Winter ?"
"I did. Bastards suspended all because - finger quotes - they lack funds to go on. Bullshit"
"Exactly. Now and that way ?"
"I heard he wasn't sentenced because he was revealing something about his associates. Fucking scum. And some little bird told me you were sticking your nose where you should not"
"Yes so what? It's my choice. I want to know paid for it"
"You already know the companies and their actions. It would not surprise me they get their greedy hands on everything. Who is going to save their ass when all will go boom ?"
"It's not right. You just wait"
"What are you saying ?"
"You'll fucking see"
(Sigh) "Say do you want to stay here ?"
"Uff yeah its ok. I promise not to run away this time. But do you have something to fall asleep ?"
"I have some med-x, but that ... not easy to, you know" A favor for a favor then ?
"I can do something for it. Have they found out where that car went ?"
"Uhh yeah yeah, it was into the city but they lost it. Probably changed it. We will talk about this tomorrow"
"Better we find them. And do something about all of this. Tell your friends. So about the med-x, have you taken ?"
He scratches his neck and shifts in the chair "Well i... in alaska our morale was low and we were tired, the government... ah created something called 'psycho'. Have you ever been so pissed you didn't think anymore ?"
"A few times"
"That's what psycho is for. Like fucking meth or cocaine. We got chems and still get them to win a war, and all is getting EVEN WORSE" Chill man...
"I will take just some of it for today . I'm tired and all and today is going to be a long day"
"Yeah. Glad all is safe for now"
