It was still dark "Tala! What time is it?"
Tala looked down at his watch taking his eyes completely off the road "2:30, don't worry I don't think we will see any mutants yet"
"So where is the hospital?"
Tala bit his lip and frowned "Uh, just up ahead, don't worry we will be there quicker then you can say…"
"Mutant!"
"No something longer"
"No! Ahead mutant freak!" Ahead in the centre of the road stood a half dead man blood covering his hands and the sockets of his eyes empty "Holy shit, Tala stop the car!"
"No we will run him down! Road kill!" Tala pressed heavily down on the acceleration driving the car at a top speed "Get out of my way!"
"Seriously Tala I don't think he will listen to you, I hardly listen to you" Ahead the mutant grinned tilting his head to one side as the front of the car knocked him down.
"See road kill, he can taste my tire"
Kai leaned back over his chair watching curiously as the mutant arose again after being run down "Tala he is getting back up!"
"Shoot him!"
Kai removed the pistol from under his jacket aiming toward the mutated body. He slowly pulled against the trigger knocking the mutant down.
"Did ya get him?"
"Yeah I got him" Kai answered pulling himself back to his seat.
"Hurry let's get inside!" Tala jumped over his door dashing up the stairs bursting through the door.
"Hello" Kai called. The room seemed darker then a usual hospital "Hey Tala are you sure this isn't a cemetery?"
"Yeah I'm sure why?"
Kai walked over to a power point where directly above lay a switch on the wall, he flipped it, as the room grew brighter. Bodies lay over the floor some missing limbs others missing noses, eyes, fingers, feet and ears "This is why"
Tala started to shake slightly, backing away and bumping into Kai "Never before have I seen so many dead bodies in such a secure place"
Kai tried to look down at the dead humans but felt violently ill when he did "That's sick, I wouldn't eat any of those body parts if my life depended on it. Look Tala at the front desk there's a woman, she may be able to tell us where this Jane person is" The woman was faced against the wall sitting patiently on her chair.
Tala tapped lightly on her shoulder "Excuse me miss can you tell me where I can find-" with that the woman turned around screaming in a monestrous scream so frightening Tala preformed a backward summersault.
The woman was indeed a mutant she walked around the desk grinning and chuckling, she plunged toward Tala but as she was in mid air. Kai grabbed hold of his Uzi's spinning the handle around his fingers before triggering four powerful blows.
Tala laughed as he watched the woman struggle on the floor, he removed the magnums from his pockets pointing one down at the woman "To bad you will never get to kiss my ass, demand" With that he shot the woman between the eyes putting her to death.
"Wow I'm surprised Tala you weren't even scared there for a minuet"
"Actually your right, but one thing is now for sure, I believe in mutants"
Kai and Tala kept they're weapons at their side, Kai with the Uzi's and Tala with the magnums. Walking back to the hospital's front desk "There should be the name and room numbers on a sheet of paper… Ah! Here it is" Tala scanned through the pages where is came to one topic "Mentally possessed? Jane Hetruk that's gotta be her"
"Yeah I think your right, what room?"
Tala ran his finger again across the page, "level twelve room 266" murmurs and shrieks followed bangs up against the front entrance.
"Tala can you lock that door?" the banging became louder as Tala began to search the desk.
"Umm…"
"No time! Hurry lets go see this mental retard find out what we need to know and leave, im not just one waiting around to be mutant chow" Kai grabbed hold of Tala's arm pulling him off the chair dashing into the corner just in time as the mutants burst through the door.
Tala followed Kai to the elevator where he repetitively tapped the up button "It's in the basement and I'm not waiting for a lift when I can make my own" Kai pushed Tala back as he ran forward holding his arm in front of his chest.
"Kai why is your arm glowing?" with that Kai burst forward through the elevators door, looking up toward the top.
"Kai they're coming if you cant see!"
"Please Tala don't point out the obvious!" Kai wrapped his arm around Tala's waist pulling him along with himself into the dark where he aimed his hook gun, which pulled them both up towards the top.
"You know I really don't like you holding my waist!"
"Tala! Stop it, we are in the middle of a very important situation, I can drop you if you want to be that way!"
"No, no its fine really!"
"That's what I thought you said… Jump!" Tala shot small holes into the elevator door to fit his fingers into, Kai lost balance falling back after retracting the hook gun.
"Kai!" Tala reached back grabbing a tight hold of Kai's wrist, swinging him back toward the lifts door, each grabbed a door pulling enough to fit through.
Both stepped into the hallway, holding all their body weight on their arms, which held their knees. Kai took a deep breath before thanking Tala "Thanks I would have plunged to my doom"
"Nah, I wouldn't let that happen to ya"
Kai laughed shaking his head "I trust you on that, out of everyone I probably trust you the most"
Tala looked up resting his hand on Kai's shoulder "Thankyou" from the lift came a fearful meur quickly alarming them both "But now isn't the time to be saying nice stuff, quick were looking for room 266"
Kai ran at Tala's side calling out the room numbers as they passed them "223, 224, 225, 226!" Tala opened the door gazing over toward the body lying on the bed.
"They're here, they're coming! Don't turn off the lights! Don't look away!"
"Look miss, I am Tala and this is my partner Kai, we are here investigating this mutant problem, and we need to ask you a few questions"
"Darkness, everywhere! They want blood! My blood! Go away!" She threw her pillow in Kai's direction barely missing his head.
Gee woman! Calm down, we are authorized to be here, where can we find a mutant who will talk to us?"
She shook more her breaths shaky pulling her legs close to her body "G-Gilcore h-he is s-speaks and deals with humans"
Tala frowned in confusion asking her "What kind of deals does this Gilcore do?"
"H-he gives people a v-very rare d-drug"
Tala rolled his eyes nodding but continuing "what kind of drug?"
"I-it's an a-acid inserted into the n-neck it c-changes humans into m-mutants"
Tala nodded again trying to calm the woman but she continued attacking when Kai or Tala got to close "Why does he want everyone to be mutants?"
"I-Im sorry, I-I don't know" she gazed around the room shaking uncontrollably.
"Ok umm… where can we find this Gilcore?"
The woman grabbed her forehead in agony "He's in my head! Beer… alcohol. He is! Taking over! Please… go away!" Jane burst into tears, throwing herself onto the floor kicking and screaming.
Kai secretly removed the Uzi's from his pockets aiming at the woman "Kai" Tala pushed on his hand aiming the weapon toward the floor "Not yet"
The woman continued to scream as she rose to her feet gazing at Kai with a ferocious look on her face and fire burning in her eyes. Jane ran towards him, but swiftly Kai jumped into the air, whilst upside down halfway through his summersault shot her in the back, landing securely on his feet.
"Ok now you can shoot her!"
Kai ran his fingers back through his hair sighing as he pointed toward the wall where the spastic woman had run straight through "can I kill them?" four maybe five mutants hurried and pushed there way into the room cornering Tala and Kai.
Tala gazed around the room searching for and escape rout possible "any ideas?" Kai asked seriously.
"Yup!" Tala aimed his tubby gun towards the ground shooting around him a circle breaking through the floor "Ok Kai if we hurry we can make it out of here before those things come back!"
The burst through the door smashing the button controlling the elevator "Today would be nice!"
"Calm down Kai!"
"How can I keep calm we are going to die in a hospital!"
"We are not going to die Kai!" The elevator door opened as they dashed in smashing the ground button. The elevator began to slowly roll down as hands burst through the roof.
"Shit I was wrong… we are going to die in an elevator!
"Kai I promise you, we wont die!" Tala lifted his shotgun toward the roof of the elevator shooting at the arm "See Kai I won't let us die!"
The elevator door opened again as the two ran out over the dead bodies and out the door, Kai skipped the stairs running towards the car and jumping over the door "Let's go, I cant believe I just risked my life for information!"
Tala quickly left the building behind him in smoke from the power of the acceleration "It was valuable, and now we can find this guy, Gilcore"
"I'm so sleepy… and it's your fault!"
"What!"
"Don't worry I'm awake now, after almost being smashed by a mutant!" Kai rolled his eyes sarcastically leaning over against his door. "Wait!"
"Yeah what's wrong with you?"
"That Jane girl… mutant, said that Gilcore guy is around alcohol," Kai said seriously.
"Yeah and?"
"That means he is going to be located in a club or something"
"And?"
"And, I'm seventeen!" Tala laughed banging his fist against the steering wheal.
"That's priceless" Kai laughed sarcastically with a sarcastic smile.
"Ha, ha, ha not funny! It only means you have to do this job alone" Kai crossed his arms resting his feet upon the dashboard "Hey… where did all the mutants go?"
"The sun is coming up and they are now just disguised as normal humans, so this would be the best time for us to sleep"
Kai pressed his hands together mouthing 'thankyou' he leaned back in his chair closing his eyes "Wake me when we get there"
"Yeah ok, so if I fall asleep at the wheal we can both die, ok you just doze off"
Kai smiled resting his head on his arm "Thankyou goodnight"
Kai did as he asked and slept the car trip as Tala drove him back to the apartment. Tala stayed awake the entire trip pulling up in a car spot "Ok Kai where here, you can go get some sleep now" Kai opened his eyes rubbing them thoroughly.
"To save you the trip home you can just sleep over at my apartment?"
"If you don't mind, that would be helpful, I am really tired"
Kai nodded rubbing his eyes again; he opened the front door to the apartment building pressing the arrow pointing up to access the lift "Not another elevator" Kai continued to sigh "That was the most freaky mission we have ever started"
"Yeah I know, you did look pretty scared Kai"
"What no way, not even for a second!"
Tala raised both eyebrows before continuing "Uh huh sure, you could tell, when all those bodies where all over the floor you looked like you where gonna vomit" he laughed again.
"Yeah and I was gonna vomit, that was sick, who would eat someone's eyes?" The lift door opened as they left opening the apartment door further down the corridor. He pushed it open, fetching a blanket.
"Thanks a lot man"
"Don't mention it" Kai threw himself onto the couch pulling the blanket up over his neck. "You can have my bed"
"Are you sure?"
"Positive, I'm fine here I'd even sleep on the floor" Kai leaned back and closed his eyes yawning suddenly. Tala lay down on the couch opposite Kai rolling over to face the couches back "I said you could sleep in my bed"
"Nah it's not right to leave you out here all alone"
"Tala wake me up at 9:00pm" Kai rolled onto his side until he finally fell asleep. Tala did also shutting his eyes after yawning.
