Chapter 2

For a moment here I thought I was in heaven, because I was so relaxed for once in my life. Hmm it just a pity that I hit the prime of my life at the age of seventeen. Well at least I got the rest of eternity of sitting up here in heaven. Or I thought this was heaven when I finally woke up.

When I finally came to, I just bolted up sitting up, looking around my new surroundings. I was basically in a room to myself with nothing but white walls with a lot of medical equipment. At least the bed was a lot comfortable from that lumpy cot from that other place I was at. All sorts of shit was hooked up to me, like those machines that check your heart beat and one of those IV needles attached to my other arm dripping something.

I just noticed that I was wearing a white t shirt and some sort of boxer shorts. I then looked at my right foot it was wrapped in some sort of cast looking thing with liquid on all sides. The cast thing went up past my ankle and stopped before the lower shin area.

I kept surveying my surroundings till I heard a couple of voices coming near me. So my first instinct was to play possum and pretend that I was still unconscious.

I laid there while I heard a couple of dudes coming in. Only one of them was talking out loud while the other I guess was taking notes. Checking in our civilian patient here, patient is still unconscious. Heart beat and blood pressure remain normal. Patient did not suffer any internal injuries, however could've suffer a concussion we will not know until patient regains consciousness. Patient did however suffer some minor head lacerations. Patients right ankle has been sprained fairly badly though, which requires a liquid seal cast for a duration of two weeks, but not lasting more than four. We used some mild anesthetics to reduce his pain and keep the patient comfortable. The patient when brought in is suffering from a serious case of malnutrition as well. We will check back in thirty minutes to see if the patient regains consciousness.

Just like that they were gone in a couple of minutes, so I popped back up again. That doctor guy said that I had head lacerations, so I prodded with my fingers to only feel a bunch of bandages around my head. I don't think they were that thick on my head as I felt around my head.

The guy said that he was coming back in thirty, and I know that I can't play possum forever. So I made the decision then and there to make my escape. So I slowly got out of bed trying to stand on both of my feet. I kept feeling that my right ankle was really numb. I guess from the pain meds they injected to that area of my body, which was ok for me since I can walk on it.

Luckily for me this hospital or medical area was kind of small. It was like one big hallway with white walls everywhere. When I finally was able to sneak out, it was like walking into a much bigger maze.

Whatever this place was, it was huge. There were long hallways with bright lights and pipes all along the ceiling. I guess whatever this place was there weren't that many people around. Every now and then I would hide behind a small opening in walls when someone would come near me.

Everyone that I saw here wore a lot of green or black. Since my right ankle was in some kind of cast I couldn't really run on it, but at least I could scuttle on it. Which is better since it's a lot quieter. The big problem with this place was that there were no maps posted anywhere. You know like one of those maps that say you are here sort of thing.

As I continue to walk carefully and slowly down the corridors, I heard what was like something coming out from the ceiling. I guess this place has speakers as well, when an alert message came on. It sounded rather commanding to me, as it went something like HERE THIS, NOW HERE THIS, WE HAVE A LEVEL ZERO THREAT WALKING ABOUT INT THE HALLS IF YOU SEE HIM KINDLY ESCORT HIM BACK TO SICKBAY OR ALERT A MEDIC IN YOUR AREA.

It didn't took me long to put two and two together, since that message was meant for me. So I made as much haste as I could. Soon enough more and more people started to come out into the hallways I guess to try and find me.

When I was about to turn a corner I saw two men coming in my direction, I don't think they noticed me since I decided to hide in one of those corridor openings and pulled a cart with some tools on it closer to keep me well hidden.

I stayed there for a good five minutes when the two men passed on by not noticing me. I slowly popped my head out to see it the coast was clear. When I was checking all around I did notice a door at the other end of the hall where I was about to turn into the corner.

I hope that was the way out. So without really thinking about it I started to make a dash towards it not paying any attention to the tools on the small cart.

Crap I at least knocked a few of them down. It hit the metal floor and made a rather loud dinging noise that could wake the dead. Shit it was so loud that those two guys who where about maybe a hundred yards away turned around and noticed me.

In an instant they started to run to my position. I just tried to bolt it out of here on a busted foot. I scuttle so fast that I wasn't really paying attention what was in front of me that when I rounded the corner that I ran into something rather hard.

I slowly look up on to see a rather tall and muscular blonde chick standing in front of me. She had blonde shoulder length hair that was tied in a tight pony tail. She wore a black t-shirt with some black and grey camo pants with black boots.

I slowly started to back away in a nervous manor.

Angela on the other hand saw the kid that she and tunnel rat pulled out from the mud puddle a few days back. Well at least he's up and about that's good news I guess. Yet I don't think this kid realizes that it's not really a good idea to be standing on his busted right foot or ankle since it's wrapped up like that, as she thought to herself.

Man this kid looks like a statue, hmm I'll just try and start a little conversation with him to get him to calm down so I can get him back to sickbay.

"Hey there little guy, well I'm glad to see that you're up and about, but you really shouldn't be walking on a busted ankle like that."" So why don't you come with me and we'll this sort out ok?"

Well she seem like a nice chick and all, but first things first I got to get out of here. Awe man I feel pain in right foot now. At the same time those two other dudes get like within ten feet of me that I start to panic backing away even further not watching my own footing.

How do I know this shit was painful, because when I was backing away from these people that l lost my balance and started to put all my weight on my right foot and that it bended in an unnatural way?

I started to scream my guts out. I fell backwards landing on my backside while holding my foot. Whatever I did my cast started to unravel and the liquid seals started to break leaking some kind of blue liquid everywhere. Tears where pouring down my eyes as I was moving all over the place trying to get away from these people

Yet no dice, that tall blonde chick started to curse out loud on what I have done to myself that she made every attempt to keep me still and calm, while she order the other dudes to make a call to something called lifeline.

Angela did her very best to calm this kid down since he was all over the place. I tried my best to restrain him and calm him down by petting his arm gently while we were on the floor. Shit this kid in a lot of pain.

"You see kid I told you not to walk on your foot didn't I?" "Oh thank god Lifeline is on his way." Of course when there's a medical emergency this guy is always on top it. I see him rush this way in his patented red medical suit of his.

"Strike what happen here?" Well this kid just ran into me and I tried to coax him not to continue walking until he got spooked by those two over there that he lost his footing."" Poor kid is in a lot of pain right now, that even I'm struggling to keep him calm and still."

"Shit this kid bouncing off everywhere, Strike try to hold him as still as you can I'm going have to use a mild sedative on him before I can move him back." Lifeline preps a mild sedative for the kid, that in an instant he just stuck it to this kid's neck.

Slowly but surely I start to get drowsy and in a matter of minutes I was out.

Two hours pass on by and here I am again feeling this feeling that I think I'm dead again. But nope I think I'm in that comfy bed again. I started to stir more silently this time, since it was most likely that they would have someone in the room watching me.

I started to open my eye's slightly to see if anyone was in the same room and sure enough I saw a black splotch in my vision. As I started to focus a bit, it turned out to be that same chick from earlier. I started to survey my surroundings again when I saw my right foot was elevated and now wrapped again with another cast. I did my very best to be silent as I can be while checking the rest of myself and body.

Strike just sat there slumped a bit in the one of those fold out chairs reading a magazine. Well if I want to vacation somewhere in Mexico this year this article does say that Cabo is the place to be. I continue to read the magazine with much interest, till I heard a faint movement from behind me.

I decided to play it off like I was not paying any attention. So instead I focus on looking at the chrome steel siding on the door frames. And sure enough the kid was wide awake. Well I got to handed it to the kid for having some credit for his sneaking tactics.

So I started to shift my body a bit to see what this kid was going to do next. Just as I expected in an instant he shut his eyes and started to play possum with me. I was laughing inside for a short moment till; Lifeline came inside with one of the green shirt orderlies I guess he was on chow duty since he had his food tray cart with him.

Life line opened up first; "ah I see that our young patient is still asleep from the sedative."" I just doesn't make any sense he should've awaken by now."" Strike has he been asleep the whole time?"

"Well Lifeline I would say that he was sleeping like maybe five minutes ago, but I think he's playing possum with us."" Oh you really think so Strike?"" I know so and here I'll even prove it to you, "Strike said in a mischievous way.

Strike decides to get sleeping beauty here nudge by waking him with this kid's lunch. So strike got the tray of food placed on one of those movable tray carts that fit ever so slightly on top of the bed.

She removes the cover and with her menacing voice starts to say out loud." My, oh my what do we have here today?"She takes a big whiff," MMMM is this Salisbury steak we have today with thick brown gravy and a side of mash potatoes, carrots, and corn with a dinner roll."

As she holds the plate right under this kids nose, so that he can take a good smell of the delicious food.

Awe man this chick is so cruel, oh god that smells so good. I haven't had any real food in such along time. I just got to have some will power that's all even though my stomach is growling like crazy.

Lifeline had a real skeptical look on his face as Strike kept teasing with this kid with the food, but strike had an ace up her sleeve that she knew that she could get this kids eyes open.

"And what do we have for your dessert, a nice double fudge chocolate browning with walnuts and chocolate icing."" Ah it's such a shame that you're asleep since you can't possibly eat this food." Strike continues to hold this delicious brownie underneath the kid's nose.

Oh god I haven't had chocolate in such a long time not since I was ten back at the orphanage. Oh shit my mouth is watering like crazy ah that's it I can't hold it any longer I got to eat.

I wake up in an instant as I reach for the food for dear life.

"Ah ha I told you this kid was playing possum,"as Strike started to laugh out loud.

I was reaching for dear life for the food since it was out of my reach. "Ok here you go kid, I'm not really that cruel eat up ok," as Strike continue to smile to him.

"Well Strike I normally don't approve of your methods but at least you got him awake, I'll go ahead and notify General Hawk and Duke that this kid is awake."

Lifeline took off in an instant, while Strike just stood there leaning on the wall watching the young kid eat like there's no tomorrow.

"So kid you got a name?"

I just continue to chow down on this delicious food that I didn't really pay any attention to what this chick was saying.

"Wow you sure are really polishing off this chow aren't you."" Anyways my name is First Strike, but most people just call me Strike."

Man that was so good, I couldn't believe I ate all of it. Wait did this chick said something? Oh yeah I guess she was introducing herself. I think she called herself Strike. Humph that's some weird name she has.

I think she was asking what my name was. Now what was it? I thought about it for a moment. I know at the last place they called me subject ten, but I know that's not my name at all. Oh I got it now I was about to answer this chick until three more dudes just came in to my room.

"Yes sir the young kid just woke up by some rather ingenious persuasion by Strike here," Lifeline exclaimed.

I looked at the first guy and all I can say that he had a very commanding presence in the room. That even this chick stood up straight and quiet to acknowledge him in the room. He was rather aged looking to me he had some chisel feature to his face and some wrinkles. None the less I wouldn't want to piss this guy off, because he would look like he would pound me to the ground in an instant.

The other guy on the other hand was much younger maybe like late twenties or early thirties. He too had similar features like this other guy, but instead of brown hair he had like maybe dirty blonde hair. He was only maybe one or two inches shorter than the other guy.

All of these people were built up just like this chick here. That all had some muscular tone bodies, like they must have spend like hours in the gym pumping iron or something.

I did my best just to keep to myself since these people could easily kill me if they want to; however I know they had other plans in mind.

"Greetings young man my name is General Hawk, the person standing next to me is Duke, and I believe you have already met Lifeline and Strike here."" What is your name young man?"

I tried to sink in deeper into my bed when this guy asked what my name was. "Look young man where not here to hurt you at all were here to help you ,"Hawk exclaimed.

Strike could see the uneasiness this kid was giving so she came by this kid's side and started to pat him on the head getting to coax him into telling what his name was." Come on kid you can do it," Strike said softly to him.

"My…, my name is Mark."

All four of them waited to hear if there was anything else, but that was it. "Just Mark, you don't have a last name,"Hawk asked.

"That's what the Priests named me mister."" Priest," Duke said confusingly?" Do you know where you are from then?"

"I came from Novsky orphanage in Leads Idaho USA." I kept my head down as I was ashamed at where I was from. And I should be that place was hell hole to me.

"Novsky", Duke said confusing. "I never hear of it have you Lifeline?" Lifeline nodded his head no, as did Strike when Duke looked towards her direction.

"I have,"Hawk exclaimed.

I looked up at mister hawk with a little bit of watery eyes to him begging and pleading to him. "Please mister Hawk don't send me back there I beg of you, I'll do anything you want just please don't send me back."

"You don't have to worry about that kid; the humane society shut that place down a couple weeks ago." "Last I heard the authorities locked up the priests and nuns while the remaining children were taking into child protective services."

Strike could only stand there and feel nothing but sorry for this kid. Man I'm going to have to look up and see what this Novsky place was like to those kids.

Duke then interjected," Mark do you know why you where at that jungle base the other day?"

I shook my head no, but also asked. "Where was I?"" That's classified kid." Hawk then answered," you where in the jungles of El Salvador."" So much for being classified," Duke joked around." Do you know why you where there at the place Mark,"Hawk demanded.

"No I don't remember anything about mister I'm sorry."" I don't even remember where I was after I ran away from Novsky."

Lifeline interjected for a moment, "it could be that young Mark here has suffered some kind of amnesia."" Till then sir, I would think it would be best to leave him be till his right ankle heals fully".

"Hmm very well then Lifeline, we'll let young Mark here rest for now."" Strike you wouldn't mind being the kid's escort till we sort this mess out do you. "

"No sir I wouldn't."

After all that, all of them left accept for the doctor guy who was checking my vitals and all. He told me that he would check on every hour or so when I was resting. So I did my best to go to sleep.
