Chapter 12: Natural selection (evil smile)
"No…I'm sorry Samantha. Even if I would want to…I can't do this…", murmured Herbert.
"Don't you understand? You make me waste my time Herbert…I asked you one request and I want you to accept or…"
"Or what?! What will you do Samantha? Do you really think I'm scared", replied Herbert with a challenging tone.
"I know you love me Herby…I won't try to kill you if you refuse but Cassandra is angry at me. She told me that if I fail another mission that…she was going to kill me. She possesses a lot of power. I'm sure you don't really want to see me dead…aren't you. We're stuck in the same trap Herby", responded Samantha.
"You can say everything you want, you won't make me change my mind", replied firmly Herbert.
"Alright then, it seems that I don't have any choice…we'll have to use the new technology…"
*********************************
Jonathan was the first one wake up. A stomachache forced him to awake. He had the strange feeling his head wasn't resting on his pillow…but even if he wasn't…it was very comfortable…Then Joanna woke up, and looked at what was resting on her chest.
"Jonathan, what are you doing on my breasts", asked lazily Joanna.
"Duh…what the…AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG", exclaimed Jonathan as he was startled and fell on the cold floor.
"Strange…this situation remember me something…but…in the opposite role", murmured Joanna to herself.
"WHAT THE FUCK!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM!!!", exclaimed Jonathan with an angry and very embarrassed tone at the same time.
"I…I really don't have a bloody idea…Last night I slept on the couch but I woke up here", answered very calmly Joanna.
"Do you really think I was the one who brought you here?! Do you DARE to accuse me", asked angrily Jonathan.
"Actually…yes. You were the one who asked me yesterday to stay with you", answered Joanna who apparently thought that the situation was very funny.
"I…you mean…I really asked you this…did…did I asked something else", questioned Jonathan who began to blush of embarrassment.
"You asked me to stay with you yesterday but not just in your home. You asked me to stay in your bed and it seems that even if I said no and that I went to the couch…you brought me here and slept on me…it seems", responded Joanna with a grin that she rarely show.
"How can I be sure what you said is the truth", asked Jonathan
Then he saw a piece of paper on the table next to his bed. He read it. It had a really bad writing. It was probably written when he was drunk.
Dear Me,
If you see Joanna Dark next to you in the morning,
don't harass her with this. This is entirely your fault
and not hers so if you want to harass someone,
harass yourself…
Me with beer and medics together
"…Damn…I'm not sure I'm feeling well…", answered Jonathan who changed from red to a greenish color.
He ran to the bathroom and vomited everything that could have been in his stomach at this moment. Then he looked at himself in the mirror.
"Fucking hangover", Jon murmured to himself.
"I hope you were sick because of yesterday…not because the thing I've said and what you've read", asked Joanna as she entered the bathroom.
"Why would I be sick because of what you've said", asked Jonathan.
"Maybe that being with me is a disgusting thing to your eyes…", murmured Joanna.
"Do you really think you can be disgusting in any way possible?! You stupid women! Always complaining about your appearance! Oh no! Look! I've taken 2 pounds! I'm so big! Damn it! My clothes are completely out of fashion! I must absolutely buy new ones!", said Jonathan in a girlish tone.
"Yeah…you're right. I was completely wrong to think this. You cannot find me that disgusting with the way you looked at my cleavage yesterday", answered Joanna with a mischievous smile.
"Yesterday you were probably more presentable than now", replied Jonathan.
Joanna looked at herself in the mirror. Her make up was a little bit everywhere on her face and her clothes were all rumpled.
"Ewwww, that's awful…", Joanna murmured to herself.
"Damn…I think I'm going to return to bed now…I'm not feeling alright", murmured Jonathan as he held his head in his hands.
"With the way you're holding your head, you should take aspirins…maybe that you'll feel better", answered Joanna.
"I can't. Sarah told me I cannot take any other medicine or I'll be very…huh…like yesterday…", replied Jonathan.
"Poor you…Well I think I'm better lead to my home now. If I see Nathaniel, I'll tell him you're dying", responded Joanna with a slight smile
**************************************
Velvet stood alone in the apartment she shared with Joanna. Nathaniel left a few minutes ago and she was now waiting for Joanna to come. Someone knocked to the door.
"It's probably Joanna who's back", said Velvet to herself.
She opened the door to see that there was no one.
"Who's there", asked Velvet.
"Hi! Do you remember me young child", asked Samantha as she took out her magnum and shot at her.
It was a chance Velvet had good reflexes. She jumped in her apartment to avoid the bullet and searched for her Falcon 2.
"Damnit! Where is that fucking gun", Velvet murmured to herself.
Then she heard the footsteps of Samantha who was approaching. Velvet hid herself behind the door. Samantha entered the room and didn't saw Velvet.
"Come on! Show yourself and die quietly", asked Samantha as she stood in the frame of the door.
Velvet shut the door hard on Samantha. She let out a cry of pain and fell on the floor. Velvet came next to her and kicked her in the ribs like the older woman already do a few days ago to Joanna. Then she put one of her feet on the hand that was holding the gun.
"You bitch! Give me your gun or I'll broke your old and decrepit ribs", angrily asked Velvet.
Samantha didn't answered. Velvet just pressed her foot harder on Samantha's hand. After another cry of pain, she let the gun fall from her hands. As Velvet took the gun, Samantha caught Velvet's leg and pulled it. Velvet fell on floor. She tried to shot at Samantha but she already left the room…and the apartment. Samantha had failed again…but she wasn't going to fell at the Carrington Institute. Velvet tried to catch up with her, but it was impossible. She didn't know which direction in the corridor she took.
"Oh man, we're in big trouble…Probably that I wasn't the only one who was on her death list. I'm better make a contact with the institute", Velvet said worriedly to herself.
************************************
After Joanna left his house, Jonathan quickly returned to bed. He never remembered having a headache as painful as he had to bear right now. On his bed was a piece of paper that wasn't there when he left his chamber. He read it.
Please open you dresser-Joanna
He didn't understood why she wanted him to open his dresser but by simple curiosity he opened it. There were a blonde wig and a pipe…his lucky pipe in it.
"Strange…what is my lucky pipe doing here", he murmured to himself.
He yawned lazily. He decided this question would be answered after some hours of sleep. He let himself fell in his bed and instantly fell asleep…a sleep…full of dreams…
***********************************
Jonathan awoke on the cold floor of the Carrington Institute. It was very weird…everything was in black and white and everyone were paralysed. He was in the entrance and he saw one of Suzan's papers that was paralysed in the air.
"What the hell?! What's happening", exclaimed Jonathan.
Then another Jonathan entered the Institute. Like the first Jonathan, he was in color but he wore the Carrington Institute uniform. Then the 2nd Jonathan talked to Suzan.
"Hi Suzan! Do you have some papers for me", asked Jonathan.
Then Suzan too became colored and seem to awake from her paralysed state. She smiled at him.( A/N: sigh…I know this is a bit like Harry Potter or Zelda: the wind waker)
"Hello Jonathan! Of course I have some papers for you. Carrington wanted me to give you this", Suzan said as she gave him a small pile of papers.
"Carrington? Alive?", murmured the first Jonathan with a puzzled tone
"Thank you…it seems to be some other paperworks…damnit. Since Joanna Dark beats almost all my records, I'm doing a smaller number of missions, I'm only doing paperworks!", exclaimed a very bored Jonathan.
"I'm sorry Jonathan but I'm not the one who can help you with this. You should talk to Carrington about it… but not today", responded Suzan.
"Why can't I talk to him about this today", asked curiously Jonathan.
"He's going to the White House today with Joanna Dark to make an alliance with the Maians…I think", answered Suzan.
"That's unfair! If Joanna wasn't there it would be me who would have go with him to the White House. I'm sure this bitch was able to have these high rankings just because she slept with Carrington. I worked with her at the Area 51. That's true she had marksmanship but not at the point to have A+ +! ", exclaimed angrily Jonathan.
"Did I see trace of jealousy in your comments? That's true she is very charismatic but I'm sure she deserved her rankings. Anyway…did you see the dress she's wearing today! It's beautiful! I just hoped I was taller so I could wear that kind of dress", answered Suzan.
"I don't care about the way she's dressing. I'm not superficial", replied proudly Jonathan.
"I already noticed you weren't superficial. A wanderer would have more good-looking clothes than you and I'm not talking about your hair", commented Suzan with a smirk.
"Hey! My clothes need some respect! And what is wrong with my hair?", asked Jonathan who faked to be angry.
Then Joanna arrived in the entrance. She wore a long, black dress with a red dragon on it. For a millisecond, the eyes of the second Jonathan grew wide but became normal after. He didn't wanted Joanna to know that she looked handsome in that dress. The first Jonathan tried to make a comment.
"Can someone explain me what's happening and what I'm doing here", asked Jonathan.
Everyone ignored him and continued their conversation.
"Suzan, do you know where is Mr Carrington? We're supposed to leave in half an hour", asked Joanna.
"I'm sorry but I think he didn't entered the institute yet", answered Suzan.
Joanna sighed and then she noticed Jonathan's presence. She grinned at him.
"Hi Jonathan! Did you know that at my last mission, I beat the last record you had", asked Joanna.
"Fuck you agent Dark", Jonathan angrily responded.
Then Carrington entered the institute almost in a run. He was wearing very weird clothes as usual but no one told any comments.
"I'm sorry Joanna. I'm a bit late", said Carrington.
"It's alright Mr Carrington. We're just leaving in half an hour after all", replied Joanna.
Carrington left the entrance and Joanna followed him.
"Oh man! I must absolutely go to the bathroom now! I need to pee!", exclaimed Suzan.
"Alright huh…I think I'll go to my office now", answered Jonathan as he left the entrance with Suzan who was going to the bathroom.
The first Jonathan followed them. Then he saw Joanna and Carrington walking to his left and the 2nd Jonathan walking to his right. He tried to follow Joanna and Carrington, but an invisible wall prevented him to continue. When he looked at the 2nd Jonathan again, he saw that he was in black and white and he was paralysed. The time had stopped again.
"Well well, I think I'm better follow me after all", commented Jonathan as he approached his copy.
The second Jonathan regained colour and walked again. The first and real Jonathan followed him. They lead to Joanna's office. A few seconds later, they heard the sound of an explosion…a Skedar entered the institute. Then the second Jonathan heard the sound of his CI communicator. It was Carrington.
"Jonathan?! Please reply", asked Carrington through Jonathan's communicator.
"Jonathan to Carrington, what happened", asked worriedly Jonathan.
"We're under attack! Listen to me Jonathan. Some Datadyne guards took hostages in the institute. Don't worry about this; Joanna is taking care of them. I fear the worst for my secret folder so I want you to guard my office. No one from Datadyne must enter.", instructed Daniel.
"Understood", responded Jonathan who was a bit disappointed of Carrington's request.
The second Jonathan took out his DY-357 magnum and ran for Carrington's office. The first Jonathan followed him. They stayed in front of Carrington's office for a while. Some Datadyne guards came but they were easily killed by the 2nd Jonathan. The CI communicator biped again.
"Jonathan's here", answered Jonathan.
"This is Carrington again. Listen to me. I told Joanna the location of the special folders in my office. She'll come and destroy them soon. It's getting too dangerous. When she'll arrive, let her enter my office and cover her.
"Roger…", responded Jonathan as he closed his CI communicator.
Joanna came a few minutes later. The 2nd Jonathan looked at her enter Carrington's office but didn't say anything. The real Jonathan looked at his copy. He was able to read every emotion that ran through his face. He was evidently jealous that Joanna Dark was always doing the important job…and he wasn't doing it anymore…then a lot of guards came. The second Jonathan shot at them but he wasn't as lucky as a few minutes ago. Of course, he was able to kill all these guards but him too was shot. A few bullets reached for his legs and another reached for his right arm. Joanna left Carrington's office a few seconds after the injured Jonathan kill them all. Her objective was apparently completed. The second Jonathan left the corridor and went to the infirmary. The first Jonathan followed him.
"If only I could help him", murmured the real Jonathan as he looked at his copy that had difficulty to walk.
The 2 Jonathans finally arrived to the infirmary and Sarah took care of the injured one. After a few minutes he fell unconscious. Shortly after, the real Jonathan was blinded by a white light and he reappeared in the infirmary, apparently a few hours after the past events. Velvet was there, crying and Sarah looked shocked. They were in black and white and they were paralysed like Nathaniel that was sitting at the corner of the room, with his nails in his mouth. After a few seconds, the second Jonathan woke up and everyone regained their colors.
"…Oh man…what…what happened", asked the second Jonathan.
"We were attacked by some Datadyne guards and a lot of Mr Blonde guys, don't you remember", answered Nathaniel.
"…I remember now…I didn't knew there were Skedars too", responded Jonathan.
"Yes, there were some…and they took Joanna with them! Those bastards!", exclaimed angrily Velvet.
"Yeah…Nathaniel talked to me about this yesterday morning…but she returned…Is this situation supposed to come from the past", asked the first Jonathan to himself.
"What…what are you talking about?", asked the second Jonathan with a puzzled tone.
"The Skedars left several hours ago. They kidnapped Joanna, Velvet saw them", answered calmly Sarah.
"You mean she's…she's really gone", asked Jonathan with a panicked tone.
"No! You're completely wrong! I'm sure she'll come back!", exclaimed angrily Velvet as more tears ran down her cheeks.
The second Jonathan looked as shocked as Sarah, or Nathaniel. It was very surprising from someone who hated her so much.
"And…and the last sentence I told her was 'fuck you agent Dark'", said Jonathan who felt incredibly guilty.
"I TOLD YOU SHE'LL COME BACK YOU STUPID! AND ANYWAY, WHY ARE YOU FEELING GUILTY!? I WAS SURE YOU WERE GOING TO JUMP OF JOY!", shouted Velvet.
"I-I didn't hated her that much you know", responded Jonathan who didn't truly believe what Velvet thought of him.
"Yeah he cannot hate her that much. They were supposed to be the next match Suzan and Foster were doing", answered Nathaniel.
The second Jonathan looked at Nathaniel strangely, Velvet looked at him like he had said the worst stupidity he'd never said and Sarah looked at him with a look that means 'that's not the time to make comments like this, you stupid'.
"Okay…I think I'll just shut up…", answered Nathaniel.
A second flash blinded the first Jonathan for a few seconds and he reappeared at the helipad of the Carrington Institute. He saw the copy of himself join him. His copy looked at Velvet.
"Velvet, you must accept the truth, she won't come back anymore", said calmly the second Jonathan.
"I don't believe you. I'm sure she'll come back in a few minutes. THE TRUTH IS THAT SHE'S PERFECT DARK, SHE'S THE BEST! YES, THE BEST! SHE'S WELL BETTER THAN YOU JONATHAN! I know you don't care about her but me, I care", answered Velvet.
"This place…this is the same place of my last dream…with the same people", murmured the first Jonathan.
The second Jonathan didn't responded to Velvet. He just sighed. Then the first Jonathan felt something…something different in the second Jonathan's hearth…and something different in his hearth too…Joanna…his…Joanna.
"No! This can't be!", exclaimed the first Jonathan.
*********************************
Herbert entered Jonathan's home. He had one request to accomplish; the others will be accomplished by the copy that Samantha created with the new technology. A technology that the Skedars created. It was an improved version of the transformation of a Skedar into a human. This time, the Skedar transformed had the same knowledge than the original human that was copied. No, the Carrington Institute didn't matter him anymore. This man he was supposed to kill…Jonathan…He never saw Herbert like he wanted to. He saw him like a useful object…like a puppet. Anyway, he knew that Jonathan and his comrades are all going to die very soon. They were the weakest in this war…the two fools won't be of any use anymore. They will be killed very soon. The young fool who lived in this house was nowhere to be found. Herbert looked in the bedrooms and finally found him. He smirked as he was approaching the sleeping form of Jonathan…it was going to be easier than he thought after all…
**********************************
Nathaniel got out from his car and searched for his keys in his two pockets at the same time. He was in front of his own house. He didn't knew that each second that he took to search for his keys were seconds that Herbert was going to use to slay Jonathan.
"There! I've finally found them!", exclaimed Nathaniel
Poor little fool, do quick if you don't want to find a dead corpse in the chamber of your brother…
***********************************
Then he understood what was this something…he remembered the most important thing he forgot about Jo…when she disappeared…he realized that he never hated her even if he wanted to…no he didn't hated her…he loved her…Then he stopped thinking, he didn't wanted to think anymore. He just looked at the copy of himself and Velvet who were arguing. He looked at Suzan who lost her temper. Then Joanna and Elvis arrived and the part of what he saw last night linked with what he saw right now. Suzan fell on the ground and Velvet looked at him with a big smile.
"Hey Jon! Here is the first thing you need to know about Joanna Dark: she's smarter than you think. I'm sure she hadn't just run and shot everywhere to survive like this".
*************************************
Herbert approached the sleeping form of his son. He wasn't going to shoot him like he planned to do. No…this would make too much noise. He was going to stifle Jonathan with the pillow that was next to him. He took the pillow…very slowly…and he pressed it against Jonathan's face…softly. Jonathan didn't wake up. Herbert smirked as he pressed tighter on the pillow.
"Innocent child, you will disappear as quickly as you appeared in the body of your mother", murmured Herbert.
*************************************
Nathaniel took his keys and entered the good one in the lock and turned it to the right side. The door opened silently and Nathaniel removed the key from the lock. Even Herbert didn't hear him enter the house. Nathaniel didn't hear any sound. He guessed that Jonathan was asleep but he preferred to take a look to be sure.
*************************************
The first Jonathan looked at Joanna's slight smile when she past near the second Jonathan. It was at this moment that Jonathan remembered how he truly fell in love with Joanna Dark.
"It's not an hallucination neither a dream…it's the truth. I'm sure that everything that I saw truly happened. Nathaniel talked to me about this yesterday and it's too similar to his version of what happened to be untrue… and it's probably not the only things I forgot", murmured the first Jonathan to himself.
Suddenly, he felt very strange. He felt weaker. Jonathan wasn't able to breath anymore…
************************************
Herbert smirked at the person he was killing. He will be dead soon. Herbert was too concentrated by what he was doing at this moment to hear Nathaniel's footsteps. Nathaniel was surprised to see that Jonathan's bedroom door was opened. Usually, he always keeps his door shut because he liked to have some privacy when he sleeps. Nathaniel was even more surprised when he saw a silhouette that was slowly killing Jonathan. He saw that the person had a gun. If he makes any noise before he had the chance to strike the man, he knew that he was going to be shot and killed. He walked silently and caught Herbert's neck and gripped it hard. Herbert was so surprised by this that he completely stopped what he was doing and tried to free his neck to be able to breath again.
"YOU SUCKER! YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE ALIVE", shouted Nathaniel.
"I don't think so", responded Herbert under his breath.
The older man took out his gun and shot at Nathaniel. He didn't aimed accurately. He just wanted to get out of Nathaniel's grip. The younger man cried in pain as he fell on the floor. Jonathan woke up after he was freed of the pillow and after he heard the gun shot. He gasped hard for air. As Jonathan tried to breath and Nathaniel held his bleeding leg, Herbert escaped their house.
It was their second failure this day…
After Jonathan was able to breath properly, he noticed Nathaniel's presence.
"Nathaniel! What happened?! Who did this??", asked Jonathan worriedly.
"Herbert…shot at me…and tried to kill you…I cannot…believe this", responded Nathaniel under his teeth.
"We must absolutely go the Carrington Institute right now! Sarah will take care of you. Come with me, I'll help you to walk", said Jonathan.
*************************************
Herbert and Samantha slowly approached the institute.
"Listen to me, woman. I'll enter first and after I'll clean the place. Then, you will enter and kill the traitors", instructed coldly Herbert.
"Understood", responded Samantha.
Herbert entered the institute. Suzan seemed very surprised to see him.
"Hi Mr McGowan. I didn't know you were supposed to come today. I'm sorry to tell you Jonathan didn't arrive yet and I'm not sure he'll come today", said Suzan.
"Jonathan isn't there", asked Herbert.
"Nope, he isn't. I thought I've already told you this", responded Suzan.
"So he isn't there right now. Is Joanna Dark here", questioned Herbert.
"She isn't there either. She'll probably come today but I don't know when…", answered Suzan who thought that Herbert's behavior was different than the last time she saw him.
"So none of them are here…good…"murmured Herbert.
He took out a Falcon 2 silencer and shot at Suzan two times. She fell on the floor and looked at him with disbelief.
"What the fuck are you doing!", exclaimed Suzan as she cried in pain.
"Don't be afraid woman. You'll die very soon…you cannot survive from bullets in the heart", answered Herbert as he entered the institute.
Suzan looked at herself. The bullet makes her suffer in a way unimaginable but…Herbert was wrong. They didn't reach her heart, they were in her abdomen. Why did he thought that the bullets reached for her heart? Then she saw Samantha who entered the institute. She simulate that she was dead…she didn't wanted to be shot again. She held her abdomen hard and hoped that someone…anyone could do something…she was too weak to be able to do anything…
Herbert and Samantha reached for the main corridor.
"Listen to me woman. We must absolutely find where all the traitors are hidden. I'll go to the hacker central and you'll go at the infirmary", instructed Herbert.
"Understood", replied Samantha.
They went to the elevator. Samantha looked on the list. They had to kill every people that were harming Datadyne corp. Any people who knew too much or were able to hack had to be killed. They arrived to the 2nd floor. Then the two slayers went in two opposite directions.
************************************
Joanna entered her apartment. She was greeted by Velvet who seemed panicked.
"What's wrong sis", asked calmly Joanna.
"We must go to the institute, NOW", exclaimed Velvet.
"But why?", asked Joanna who began to worry.
"I'll explain you in the car", responded Velvet.
"I warn you that for a reason that I ignore there's a lot of traffic", replied Joanna.
"It's not some traffic who'll stop us! Come on!", exclaimed Velvet.
************************************
"Hey Grimshaw. Do you know when will Jonathan arrive? I had to talk to him of very important things", asked Siegfried.
"I don't have any idea…Sick Freak", answered Grimshaw who was apparently displeased by Siegfried's presence.
"Oh…I see. Hey, what are you hacking at", asked Siegfried with an interested tone.
"That's not the business of the none-employees people", retorted Grimshaw.
Then Herbert entered the hacking central. Siegfried looked at him with a surprised look.
"Who are you", Siegfried asked.
"It's Herbert. What are you doing here", asked curiously Grimshaw.
Herbert didn't responded. He took out his Falcon 2 silencer again and shot at Grimshaw. Siegfried looked at Grimshaw with a horrified look. He didn't know if Grimshaw had chances to survive but it seems that Herbert had good marksmanship. Then he looked at Herbert. He didn't know what to do. Herbert smirked at him.
"It seems that you know too much. I'm better put an end to your miserable life right now", said Herbert.
Siegfried tried to escape but Herbert shot him in the back. Then Herbert left the hacking central. Siegfried was lying on the floor and find difficult to breath. He looked at Grimshaw and hoped he was just unconscious. After an enormous effort, Siegfried stood up and tried to reach the infirmary.
*************************************
"So Mr nice guy told ya he was dating with the brown haired chick", asked Dave.
"Yeah…I was very surprised", answered Heleny.
Sarah looked at them talking. She didn't thought that they had bad intention. They seemed to be nice people. She just hoped Jonathan had the same opinion as her.
Then she saw a silhouette that entered the infirmary.
"Hello, what can I do for you", asked Sarah with her slight smile.
The person didn't answer and approached Sarah. The doctor almost had a heart attack when she saw who it was. Samantha smirked at her.
"Poor you…I didn't planned to kill you but it seems that I don't have any choices", said Samantha.
She took out a DY-357 magnum and shot at the doctor. Sarah tried to avoid the bullet but it was a failed attempt. The bullet caught her right side and she fell on the floor.
"I could put an end to your pain but letting you empty yourself from all your blood is funnier", said Samantha.
She entered Dave and Heleny's room. The two traitors had to be killed. They didn't have any weapons so they couldn't do anything. As Sarah pressed the harder she could on her bleeding body she heard gunshots and Heleny's shouts of fear. Them too, knew too much…
*************************************
Foster was tapping quickly at his computer. Trent was attached on a chair and was obligated to listen to the boring chitchat from the British technician who was working with Foster. Trent Easton sighed. It's going to be a long day, he thought to himself. Herbert used the elevator and went to the firing range. In this room, they were someone who needed to be killed too. He opened the door and the two CI employees looked at him strangely.
"Hi Herbert. I didn't knew that you were supposed to be here today", said Foster.
"And you didn't knew that you were going to die today either", replied Herbert.
"What?!", said Foster with a surprised tone.
"You're better kill him before he kills you. He's not the man you know, he's a Skedar", warned Trent Easton.
Herbert took out his falcon 2 silencer and shot at the technician in the heart. He fell on the floor and died a few seconds later. Then Herbert aimed the horrified Foster. Herbert smirked as he shot on Foster but…he wasn't dead neither injured. There weren't any bullets left in his gun. He looked at Trent Easton.
"You! I'll free you if you tell me where I can find other bullets", said Herbert as he looked at Trent.
"Fine! Free me and I'll help you", replied Trent with a slight smile.
Trent looked at Foster with a look that means 'don't try anything you stupid' as Herbert unbound him. Foster didn't do anything. It was easy to take a gun in the firing range. If Trent Easton truly wanted to help Herbert, he just had to tell him the nearest weapons were at the door behind him. The first thing Trent Easton made as a free man was to punch Herbert straight in the face.
"You stupid Skedar! I didn't thought you were stupid enough to think that I could help you in any way", said Trent Easton with a furious tone.
Foster entered the firing range and took an AR-34. He stopped in front of the two men that were beating each other.
"FREEZE OR I'LL SHOOT YOU", shouted Foster.
The two men stopped as they saw what Foster was holding. Herbert's eyes became red and he transformed into a real Skedar. This vision brought Trent old souvenirs and it was his turn to be horrified by what he saw. Foster emptied an entire magazine on the Skedar that was in front of him. It seems that it was enough to make him die. Foster threw to Trent a normal magnum.
"You may need it. It probably wasn't alone", said Foster.
Trent was amazed to see that Foster truly trusted him but at the same time was happy to be free again.
*********************************
When Samantha heard the sound of an AR-34, she knew that her time was counted. She ran the fastest she could through the corridor of the 2nd floor. She bumped into someone and she fell on the floor. She had bumped into Siegfried. She smirked as she recognized the man Cassandra described her.
"Bad boy. You shouldn't do this, you're supposed to be dead", commented Samantha as she shot Siegfried in the stomach.
Siegfried fell on the floor as he felt more pain cross his body. For the first time since he was shot, he feared to die.
*********************************
Trent Easton left the firing range and searched for other attackers. Foster ran to the infirmary to find Sarah. He absolutely wanted to help his friend. He didn't know that he was dead since several minutes. Then Trent heard the voice of a woman.
"Please…anyone…help me", cried desperately Suzan.
Then he saw where the voice was coming from and he went in the entrance. Suzan saw him arrive in the entrance.
"Please don't kill me", murmured Suzan as a tear ran down her cheek.
Then Trent heard footsteps that were approaching. He hid himself behind Suzan's desk. He saw Samantha who was running the fastest she could to leave the area.
"Hey! Where are you going you bitch", asked Trent Easton as he shot at her.
His accuracy wasn't as good as a good CI agent. Samantha was shot in the arm and to in her abdomen. Adrenaline rushed down her vein and she continued to run. Trent tried to pursue her but she escaped in a kind of hovercraft. He went back to the institute, slightly disappointed. He tried to bring Suzan to the infirmary but he was stopped by Foster, who was incredibly pale.
"That's catastrophic! Sarah had been shot too! And I saw Siegf…the blond guy who was lying on the floor with a lot of blood around him", said Foster with a panicked tone.
"We don't have any choices. We must call an ambulance", answered Trent.
"Okay, I'll do the call", said Foster.
Jonathan and Nathaniel rushed in the institute. Jonathan was very surprised by what he saw.
"What the fuck!!! What's happening", exclaimed Jonathan as he saw Trent who tried to help Suzan and Foster who was phoning someone.
"The institute had been under attack. A lot of people had been shot. You cannot count on the doctor to help your friend. She had been shot too", explained Trent.
Joanna and Velvet arrived in the institute too.
"DAMNIT!!!!! WHAT IS HE DOING HERE", exclaimed Velvet as she pointed Trent Easton.
"There's more important emergencies right now. I'll go search some bandage. Joanna, go to the 2nd floor and bring the injured people. Velvet, stay with Nathaniel. We don't have time for explanations. We're in big trouble", said Jonathan who seemed slightly panicked.
End of chapter 12
Mwuahahahahaha! I'm terrible!!! Now you must participate the death contest! Let me explain to you. Nathaniel is excluded of the death contest because he was just shot in the leg so his life isn't really in danger. Six people are dying. Three of them will survive and three of them will die. I want you to vote for whom you want to make survive. You cannot choose the people you want. I'll make three duos and you will have to choose between the two people of the duo. Example: Who do you wish to see survive? Grimshaw or Siegfried? If you choose Grimshaw, I will make him survive and Siegfried will die. Now I'll show you the three duos.
Who must survive between:
1) Grimshaw and Siegfried?
2) Suzan and Sarah?
3) Heleny and Dave?
You must choose the three survivors and tell me in your reviews! If you don't participate I'll have to choose by myself.
A/N: Yay! 4 reviewers! That's a record!
Peachrocks: I won't talk about what kind of sequel it will be…I'll let you discover by yourself ;)Anyway this story will probably be finished in two weeks. I never thought that someday someone would want to use some of my original characters…I fell honoured :) I give you the permission to use them but I would like you to tell at the beginning of your chapter that they're coming from my story. Thanks for your review…and don't forget to vote!
