The World Needs Me Now
Chapter Two
Kidnapped
----
White Plains, New York
Abandoned Warehouse
Saturday, 13th of December
03.00 AM
There was an old warehouse in the middle of the outskirts of White Plains, New York. It was rusty, and it had a stale smell that was almost unbearable. It was almost empty, except for five teenagers being forced in some uncomfortable looking chairs, and a few tables with scientific looking gadgets on it. There was a man who was wearing a white lab coat, with white pants and black shoes. He almost didn't have any hair, nearly bald.
The teenagers had their arms attached to the wooden chair with lots of layers of metal straps around the arm locking them immobile to the chair. Same thing with the ankles. They were nailed to the chair, and would stay that way unless they got released.
"Dr. Myner. I have injected the formulae on the subjects." A female character announced to its boss.
"Good. When should they wake up, Adele?" The nearly bald man asked, as he turned around. "I can't wait to see the progress. The experiment should fully react by seven hours to five days. Once we get positive feed-back, we will become millionaires!" Dr. Myner blurted, breaking an evil laugh. Adele, smiled pleased, and put down a file on the white table next to all of the scientific looking gadgets.
Right then they heard one of the tests moving, trying to get away from the chair he was nailed to. Dr. Myner turned around to see the first boy in the row of chairs slowly opening his eyes. Male, tall, black hair, and green and blue eyes. First test. He looked like a psychopath having a seizure. His eyes were wide open, bloodshot, and scary to look at. Probably because the lack of sleep her got, or maybe it was a side effect of the formula. Dr. Myner made a gesture with his hand, telling Adele to jot it down.
The boy kept on shaking his arms trying to get away from the chair he was attached to, denying the fact that he could not get away unless Dr. Myner released him. "Where am I! Where am I! Where am I!" he shouted more than asked.
"What was your name, dear?" Adele asked as she closely leaned to the boy, trying to see some weird side effects, as she drew a tick on the table.
"Don't touch me" He spat at the blonde woman dressed in a nurse outfit. "Don't you dare touch me" he warned her.
"Honey, the sooner you tell me, the sooner we might release you" Adele explained.
"Might?" He looked astonished. "How about you just let go of me and my friends you monsters! Where am I. What am I doing here. What did you do with me?" He demanded.
"Stubborn much?" Adele asked. "Do you want to know the truth, or what you would like to hear?"
"The truth" He requested, looking straight into Adele's green eyes. Adele turned around to see Dr. Myner asking him permission. He nodded.
"We have recruited you for a world-changing experiment. We have tested you with a gene-altering formula Dr. Myner here created himself. Can you imagine the world-"
"Gene altering formula? What did you do to me?!" the boy shouted, trying to get away from the chair yet again making an awful noise.
"Don't worry here, we don't know if it will have side effects or anything, but if it works it should be great, and you would be the first people to have super natural abilities."
"Do you expect me to be excited?" He asked, looking almost disgusted. "You injected some kind of poison inside me!"
"Enough. Give him something to relax" Dr. Myner said.
"Wouldn't that get into the way of the experiment?" Adele asked.
"True. Let's just ignore him then" Dr. Myner decided. Adele moved away from him. They were almost out of the warehouse, before the boy started shouting.
"You cannot just leave me!"
"Uhm, do you want some water?" Dr. Myner asked, generously. He had to hydrate the guy sooner or later, he was supposed to get hydrated anyway. He couldn't just let him die of dehydration and starvation, that would be just a waste.
"Yes" He finally managed to say.
"Good, tell us your name" Adele asked, obviously trying to bribe him. She poured some water from a Evian bottle to a plastic cup and walked to the boy and provoked him by holding it in front of him, right in his face.
"Cam" he finally gave up.
"Cam what?" She asked, getting a straw from the table.
"Cameron Fisher" Adele smiled, and held the plastic cup in front of Cam, and put the green straw in his mouth. Right then the door to the warehouse opened making a big loud noise. Dr. Myner raised his head, and saw one of his accomplices bringing in five boxes of pizzas. Perfect timing.
"What are the names of your friends" Dr. Myner asked Cam. Cam raised his eyebrows, knowing that he wouldn't say anything. Dr Myner rolled his eyes.
"Uhm... This looks like some great pizza. Pepperoni...Margherita...Hawaii...Mushroom...Salmon...Yum" Dr. Myner said as he smelled the hot pizza.
"FINE. The one next to me is Olivia Ryan. Then Massie Block, Chris Plovert and Dylan Marvil" He said in the right order. Dr. Myner opened each pizza box and put them into the table.
"What type?"
"Pepperoni" Dr. Myner got the already cut pizza, and handed it to Adele who started feeding him. Right then, Olivia Ryan woke up, smelling the food.
"Where am I?" She managed to ask, her voice cracking for the lack of water in her body. "I am so dehydrated" she said, trying to swallow some saliva.
"Hello Olivia" Dr. Myner greeted his human test. "Would you like something to eat, here have some water" He said, actually sounding nice putting the pink staw in the girl's mouth. She started sipping the water like a maniac, almost finishing the whole Evian water bottle.
"Food? Pepperoni, Hawaiian, Margherita, Mushroom and Salmon, which would you prefer?" Dr. Myner asked.
"Hmm... Hawaiian. You are one nice man!" Olivia smiled, looking grateful. Cam looked at her like she spoke a completely different language. What the hell was she thinking? What was going on her mind? This guy just injected something in their bloodstream that contained who knows what!
"Olivia are you stupid!? Do you have any idea on what they did to us!" Cam shouted utterly shocked. Olivia saw him tied up to the chair, looked at herself and started shrieking trying to get away.
"Where am I? What happened to me!?" Olivia asked waking up the rest of teenagers. Dr. Myner rolled his eyes annoyed. How was he supposed to babysit all these kids that seemed to have ADHD?!
"What is going awn!" The brunette shouted. Dr. Myner guessed that she was Massie Block. She looked around the unfamiliar warehouse, inhaled and exhaled like she was in a yoga class. "Again, what is going on? Cam? Livs?" Chris woke up.
The routine started all over again, he reacted the same way Cam did. Immediately waking up Dylan, she was one heavy sleeper. The four teenagers that had no clue on what was going on started shouting. Cam desperately tried to shut the noise down before he broke down with all the stress.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP" everybody stopped shouting, freaking out and shrieking and turned around to see what was wrong with him.
"What is wrong with you, how can you be relaxed when we have been kidnapped, tied up to some chairs, in the middle of who knows where?!" Massie shouted crabbily at Cam.
"Because it won't get us anywhere! I tried that already! What's been done has already happened. Just relax, I think I'm going to have a fit if you keep shouting" Cam said, desperately wishing to rub his temples.
"Excuse me, you seem to be the only one that knows what the hell is going on, and who the hell these people are, care to explain?" Massie snapped, trying to push herself towards him, urging to hit him.
"Yeah. That might be nice" Chris blurted, not sure what else to say.
"Yeah, Cam"
"They kidnapped us, and as we were sleeping they injected this kind of formulae in our blood stream-" Cam got interrupted half way of his phrase.
"Like heroin?" Olivia asked, looking aghast.
"Yes Olivia. Like heroin, except it's not some kind of drug" Cam stated annoyed. She 'aaah'ed. "Well, as I was saying, apparently it's a gene altering formulae. If it goes well we end up having super natural powers"
"WHAT?!" Dylan howled looking incredulous.
"Cam, how can you be so calm about this?! We could become monstreous!" Chris shouted, just not understanding.
"Are you kidding?! What are the side effects!" Massie asked, a thousand worries going through her head. She saw Heroes before, she saw Mohinder turning into a disgusting monster!
She saw the doctor wearing a lab coat, a nurse wearing a nurse outfit, and another man wearing a button down shirt with ugly jeans. Who knew who he was.
"Because, if we stay calm we have a chance to get out of here alive. Don't you want that?"
"How long till we see progress?" Massie asked, an unsure lip twitch in her mouth, unsure on what to feel. Be afraid? Hopeful? What was she supposed to do now?
The blonde nurse started speaking. "From seven hours to five days" She sounded actually nice. Maybe she understood that if they were nice to the experiments they would start to shut up.
By that statement Massie knew it was not going to be an easy week. Super powers? Side effects? Human testing? What was wrong with these people?
