The old man guided me through the halls of the Apartment building, "Destiny my butt," I thought "why does my destiny look like a hotel?" I looked at the floor, then at the ceiling. I was Tired, although I was sedated only a few hours before.
"My name's Mathew," the old man said, striking up a conversation. "Just so you know."
"Nice to meet you Mathew…" I yawned "you already know who I am…" Saying that last part out loud made me wake up, this guy knew me already, but how? I'm not super popular, I don't have many friends, and I rarely talk to people outside of work. "WORK!" I shout out loud "What about my job!?"
"All taken care of, no need to worry so much" He chuckled and shook his head.
"What are you laughin' at?" I grumbled Mathew didn't answer; instead, he turned to a door and grabbed a key from his pocket. "What's that?" I questioned.
"It's a key, what's it look like?" His attitude taking a serious turn, he turned to me. "Oh, uhh, sorry Lance, but this part is serious and I need some silence." He flipped the door knob up to reveal a small key pad with ten numbers. Looking around to see if there was anyone else, he punched in four of them and the wall behind us opened like a door. "Tell no one of what you will see here today, Lance." He motioned me to follow and we both walked into a hall, hidden behind the secret door.
Moments later, after walking down a flight of steps, we reached a large room filled with scientists. Labs were active with people rushing around with different chemicals, Workers clicked away at computers, as armed guards stood watch over the whole thing. "What is this place?" I asked turning to Mathew.
"This is my laboratory," he said smiling. "and you are here to help us cure Virus X."
"What?! I didn't agree to help any one!" I protest. "I still have a job!"
"You didn't have to agree, and I told you, I took care of your Job. In fact, you working here is more of a, or else kind of thing. You will work for me, or else." He chuckled again. My heart rate began to climb, I was filling with rage.
"Calm down, this is only temporary." He patted my head and smiled as I let out a low growl.
"Growling again?" I think to myself. My eyesight begins to fade and I start to stumble. Tripping over a small stack of papers, I hit my head on the metal floor and passed out.
