The second chance ( chapter 2)
There he was standing outside my shop again, he looked at me, and I froze. A part of me wanted to go walk over to him and kick his ass while another part just stood there not moving. Finally after what seemed like at eternity of me eyeballing him, I walked over to him. He said nothing. And nether did i. He broke the silence
"So are you going to kick my ass, or are you going to listen to me?" I said nothing. Something inside me told me to hear me out.
" I don't want to scare you again."
"YOU did not scare me"
"OK, well anyway I just you should know that your name was not on the file." More silence. He continued
" The people on the list all seem to have vanished!"
" And how does this have anything to do with me?"
" Well, you know how I told you, some of the names on the list were from where you were born, well some of them were born in the same hospital as you."
"Wait. How the hell do you know where I from, let alone where I was born?"
"Like I said, I'm a journalist, I find stuff out."
"OK, I am not saying that I believe your story, but IF I did, how the hell am I supposed to help you, I was a baby"
" That's just it. You were a baby. Just like all the other babies there, and you know how sometimes babies get mixed up. Accidents happen and names get mixed up, babies get…"
" OK, that's it. If you're trying to tell me something , just say it."
" I think your name is not on the list because someone screwed up, someone took down the wrong name. Somehow you got away, and nobody realized."
" Of course, that explains, why I can fly!"
" Oh My God, You can Fly!"
" No! Listen, what the hell makes you think that I believe you, all I know is that you are some wacked up journalist, with paranoid theories? Can you say Mulder?, well, at least his theories were actually true!"
" So I know this comes across a little….weird. But I can show you the proof, All I ask is for you to keep a opened mind."
"Fine, I am on my break, but keep it short I only have twenty minutes." He pulls out his lap top, and opens up an file.
" I hacked in to the main frame, of the government's top secret agencies, and that's when I found this" He shows he a list of names of names and places and the date of births. And then he pulls out files and files of information about everyone on the list. I take some time, to let the information sink in. He was right, it was all there in front of me. This shit about "soldiers and the better GENITICALLY ENGINEERED human", he was saying the truth, every single bit, but I still did not under stand why he came to me with this, I mean if I was this man made thing, I think I would have realized. Before I could say anything he read my mind
" I know this may come as a shock, but I tried looking up some of the people on that list, and well just say that they have disappeared from this planet. It's like they never existed. And those who I did find, have gone into hiding, no one knows where they are. Everyone of those people on the list have detailed documentation of their life to this very date. And most of them are frighteningly similar, like none of them have ever had a serious illness or other ever being in hospital, but somehow have a very healthy life. That is, of course with the exception of one person, female, aged 18 , take a look at the date of birth," I look at the details, and every single piece of information is exactly the same to mine from the date of birth, to the time of birth to my real first name, except for the last name. Then I see that her medical history was different, she had simple childhood illnesses from chicken pox to the flu, and she also had a liver transplant at a young age. I look again just to double check what I saw.
"This is wrong, if what you say is true then….then she is not one of those…those, that kind."
" That's exactly what I thought, so I dung a little deeper, and hacked into the hospital birth records for that year, and that's where you come in. I looked at your records and discovered that you never have had any sort of medical illness, or needed any sort vaccines. And it is more than a coincidence that you were born at the very same time as her, and even had the same first name, so I think that you are the her, you are the baby they mixed up!"
