Vakama comes too and he realized that he is in a taxi. "Where am I," Vakama asked the robotic driver. "You are in a Nui cab." "How did I get in this taxi?" "The door open and you got in." the driver said. Vakama kept quiet for the rest of the ride back home. When he got to the apartment complex he thanked the robot for cab ride. He turned around and saw his friend from work Nurhii, "Hey Vakama" "Nurhii?" Vakama was surprised to see him here it was as if he was waiting for him. "How was your trip to Ta-Metru," Nurhii asked. "What trip?" "You went to Rekall remember?" "Wait I did." "Yeah you did, I told you not too but you did anyway." Nurhii laughted. "What are you my father." Vakama laughed. "Come on I'll buy you a drink." Nurhii offered. "I appreciate the offer but…." Vakama didn't finish because he was taken away by a bunch of goons with Nurhii holding a gun to Vakama. "Come let's get that drink." The lowlifes took Vakama to a secluded area of the complex. "Where are you taking me and what did I do Nurhii." Vakama yelled hoping someone will hear him but alas no. "You talked Vakama, you talked about Ta-Metru." "Are you crazy I don't know anything about Ta-Metru." Vakama was then pushed into a wall trying to talk his friend down. "Nurhii please I don't know what's going on." "Na, my friend this time you really screwed up." Nurhii was about to kill Vakama until he kicked Nurhii in the stomach, push the two men close to him into the wall and bash their heads together. Then he kicked Nurhii's hand where he was holding the gun, then grab both his arms then put his foot on Nurhii's neck and broke it. After he broke his neck another thug tried to grab him but Vakama over powered him and broke his neck as well. Then one of the remaining thugs grabbed the gun to try and shoot Vakama but turned him around and shot the thug in the back and the last thug got up and Vakama shot him.
Vakama then looked at his hands they were covered in blood, he dropped the gun and ran back to his home.
Roodaka was practicing her tennis game when Vakama rushed inside started turning off the lights. "Have a good day hon." "Some men tried to kill me." Vakama said as he turned off the lights. "Muggers!" Roodaka said sacred for her husband. "No, it was Nurhii and some goons like they were spies or something." Vakama said as he closed the blinds. Roodaka was about to say something about Vakama forced to kneel with him on the ground. "Vakama tell me exactly what happened." "I don't know but it has something about Ta-Metru." "You never been to Ta-Metru." "I know it's crazy, I went to this Rekall place after work and…." Vakama didn't finish when Roodaka yelled "You went to the brain butchers." "I went to get trip to Ta-Metru…..." Roodaka slid to the ground. "Forget about Rekall I was almost killed." "Vakama, sweetie no one tried to kill you." "They did but, I killed them." "Vakama you are acting delusional those asshole's from Rekall messed up your brain." Vakama then showed his hands to her and said, "Does this look delusional." Roodaka was skocked to see his hands covered in blood they both got up with Vakama going to the bathroom to wash his hands while Roodaka went to the phone. "Vakama I'm going to call a doctor." Vakama snapped and said, "Don't, don't call anybody." He slammed the door to the bathroom. A person came on the video phone and said "Hello." Roodaka looked at the image and said, "He knows" "You know what to do." Roodaka nodded.
Vakama splashed water on his face to calm down and when he exited the bathroom a mysteries figure started to shoot at Vakama he ducted behind the couch. "Roodaka, go get out." Vakama then threw a chair at the figure which made the figure to drop the gun, then Vakama ran toward the figure and push towards the wall and he turned on the lights. Vakama was shocked who the figure is "Roodaka!" Then she hit him in the balls so he could let her go then she backed up to the sink to grab a knife while Vakama asked "Why are you doing this love?" Roodaka cut Vakama's arm and tried stab him while he backed up from her but eventually he over powered her to drop the knife she then scrabbled to get the gun on floor but Vakama got it first "Talk!" "I'm not your wife our marriage, home, and memories accept the job were implanted by the agency." "Bullshit" "They erased your memory and put a new one and wrote me as your wife to make sure it worked." Vakama was shocked. "Sorry Vakama your whole life was but a dream."
"Then who am I?" Roodaka shrugged "I don't know I just work here." Roodaka sat next to Vakama with the gun still pointing at her. "Vakama you are the best assignment I ever had." Vakama tiredly said "I'm flattered." "Come on for old times' sake." Roodaka said seductively, "You can even tie me up." "You're something all right." Vakama noticed she was peeking at the video screen. "Clever girl" "Come on Vakama you wouldn't shoot me right after everything we been through." "Yeah, it was fun." Vakama then punched Roodaka in the face and she fell to the floor. "Nice knowing you." Vakama then escape and hid from the people that he saw from the video screen.
The agency entered the apartment and one member went to Roodaka to check on her but he was kicked out of the way by his leader Sidorak "Don't touch her." "Are you alright?" Sidorak asked Roodaka. "Yeah, I guess I screwed up." "I got him" one henchmen said. "Shit he's going for the subway alright let's get him." As the henchmen left Sidorak came to Roodaka and they both kissed each other passionately. "Get pack and dressed and head back to Ta-Metru." "What if they bring back his memories." "That won't happen."
The goons rushed to the subway where they tracked Vakama too. Vakama tried to rush through the X-ray but the machine detected the gun in his pocket. Security tried to cut him off but bust through the glass and continue to run to the subway. They tracked Vakama and noticed on the small tracker that he was heading towards the escalator. "You four cut him off at the top of the escalator and you come with me." While the four goons were racing to the top of the escalator Vakama was trying pass through the large crowd with the leader and another goon behind him on the escalator and fire fight broke through with the goons shooting at the crowd with a few of the civilians being killed but Vakama managed to kill all four goons and use one of the dead civilians as a shield which he through at the bottom where the leader and his SIC was. Vakama continued to run to the platform with the last two goons chasing him and the civilians ducking for cover.
Vakama managed to reach the platform and hop on to the train with Sidorak and his SIC shooting at just missing him as he got on the train with Sidorak screaming out his frustration.
Vakama then saw an advertisement about an easy to afford vacations with no fake memories. 'Oh, the irony' Sidorak went back to the car with SIC "I want that fucker dead." "I don't blame you I'd be pissed off too if it was my woman." "You think Roodaka like it?" "No, I'm sure she hated every minute of it." When they got into the car Sidorak got a call from his boss Makuta "What is going on down there." "I am handling it." "Roodaka says he can't remember anything." "Sir, at any moment he can have a total recall." "Listen to me Sidorak I want him alive, his memory erased and back with Roodaka." Sidorak did not like that idea and started to mess with the monitor and acted like he did not hear his boss.
Vakama managed to make it to the city where he rented a hotel room for the night to collect his thoughts. During that time Sidorak and his SIC managed to track him down in the city. Vakama went into his hotel room which was rundown and it looked like it was barely clean. As Vakama was about to collect his thoughts the video phone started to ring Vakama was hesitated to answer but he did. An unknown man showed on the screen "If you want to live, don't hang up." "They got you bugged and they are going to bust down your door any minute now." Vakama look for the bug on his body. "Don't bother looking for it the bug is in your skull. Vakama looked in the mirror shocked thinking. 'Can I please have a break for one minute today.' "Who are you?" "I will tell you later but now I need you to wrap a wet towel around your head. That should muffle the signal of the bug." "How did you find me?" "Again, I will tell you later, but for right now please do as I say." Vakama went to the bathroom and wetted a towel and wrap around his towel looking very silly. "Come on you look beautiful; now come to the window do you see me." Vakama looked out the window and saw a man holding a brief case and nodded. "You gave me this brief case to give to you." "I gave to you!" "Yes, now I am going to set it down here, now I have to go I will contact you soon." "Wait?" "What?" "Who are you?" The man sighed "Were old buddies in the Agency back on Ta-Metru you asked to come find if you vanished, so here I am. Goodbye." "What was I doing on Ta-Metru?" Then the unknown man hanged up. "Damn." Vakama rushed out of the hotel to grab the brief case but elderly tried to grab it but, Vakama was fast enough grab it before she did.
Sidorak was still searching for him and spotted him walking then Vakama ran to cab and told the robot driver to take him anywhere which it didn't so Vakama ribbed the robot out of the front and into the back and drove to the construction site. When got there the robot still talked in it's annoying voice saying, "That will be eighteen credits please." Vakama did not pay and said, "Sue me asshole." the taxi drove off and exploded when it a wall. So Vakama ran to a secluded spot to check the contents of the brief case. In the brief case was money, various ID cards for different sectors and people that he could use, a strange looking device and a watch. There was a button on the watch and when pushed the button it made a weird sound a figure came out of nowhere, so Vakama went behind a pillar and fired at the figure but it seemed to not be hit so forward and saw that it was himself making the same movements and figured that it was a hologram watch might be useful. He went back to the case and pulled a monitor with him which held a message. "Hello, stranger. This is Hordika. If things have gone wrong, then I'm talking to myself, and you've got a silly wet towel wrapped around your head." Hordika said while laughing while Vakama looked annoyed. "Now, whoever you are get ready for the big surprise, you are not you you're me." "No shit."
During this time Sidorak and his forces have located Vakama because of the explosion that happened at the construction site and were on their way to him. Hordika continued to inform Vakame about his former life. "All my life I worked for Ta-Metru intelligence. I did Makuta's dirty work. Then a few weeks ago, I met a woman, and I learned a few things, like I've been playing for the wrong team. All I can do now is try to make up for it." Hordika said to Vakama while Vakama was eating and throwing leftovers to the local rats. "You see there's enough shit in here." Hordika pointed at his head. "To fuck Makuta for good. Now unfortunately, if you're listening to this, that means he got to me and it is all up to you my friend." Vakama sighed "That's just great." Vakama said sarcastically.
During this time Sidorak, his SIC and their backup have finally caught up too Vakama and are planning to ambush him. "What do we have?" Sidorak asked the team. "He's gone" "No wait I got a weak signal up ahead." Sidorak's SIC said. "Well then we split up and find him."
"But first let's get that bug out of your head. Take this machine out of the case and stick it up your nose and don't worry its self-guiding." Hordika said while Vakama pick up the strange machine that he took out of the case from earlier. He pressed the button on the handle guard and a small sharp claw came out of the barrel. "Just shove it real hard but, it will hurt." Hordika warned. Vakama took a big breath and exhaled before shoving the barrel up his nose so the machine can self-guide the claw to the bug. 'Ah, man that hurts!' Vakama thought wincing when he shoved the barrel up his nose. "When you hear the crunch, you're there, and just pull it out, but be careful that's my brain too." Hordika said while Vakama continued to scream until the claw found the bug with a big crunch and started to pull it out. With one last scream Vakama finally got the bug out of his nose which surprise Vakama how big the bug was which was the size of a large grape which broke apart to show the real bug.
As Vakama was taking and examining the bug Sidorak and his goons were closing in. "I've got a lock." The SIC said to Sidorak who suggest that everyone goes up and ambush him. "Now this is the plan. Get your ass to Ta-Metru. Then go to the Hilton and flash the Brubaker ID at the desk." Vakama took the stack of cards and got out the Brubaker card and exam it. "That's all there is to it. Just do what I tell you, and we can nail that son of a bitch who fucked you and me. I am counting on you, my friend. Don't let me down." 'Yeah no pressure or anything.' Vakama thought. As Vakama was finally taking the stupid wet towel of his head he noticed a small team of goons coming his way, he quickly stashes all the items back inside the brief case, and smashed the monitor and plant the bug in a small piece of food he did not finish and through it by two rats that was close by.
The goons came close to area where they believe that Vakama was at. They close the corner and started to fire in the mediate area. They continue to track the bug which kept moving to different parts of the area fast until they realize that the bug was in one of the rats. Sidorak was so pissed off now that they can't trace Vakama anymore and he shot the rat which covered the monitor with the rat's blood. The monitor was stuck in a loop however so they know where he was going. "Get your ass to Ta-Metru."
