Jeb's POV
Mr. Murphy sat in dark clothing staring at the many computer monitors in front of him. I looked closer. He was in his office, which currently was completely dark. The only light was flickering on screen. There, on the many screens, were the children I knew, and still loved. The infamous flock.
"Do you see that Batchelder?" He beckoned to me. I slightly nodded. He was pointing to Iggy- I mean experiment 408. 'I must remember to call them by their number.' I reminded myself.
The screen was showing them at Max-405's human mother's house. 'You know what, you should call them by your own freaking words. It's your own mind for freaking god's sake!' They were at Max's mom's house. They were all watching a movie, except for Iggy who was sitting their with some sort of machinery. Probably a bomb.
"408 feels neglected." He said chuckling. "If I tell you something Batchelder, will you keep it to yourself?" He said with all seriousness.
"Of course sir. Anything for you." I hated saying that. I hated that more than anything. But I had to day after freaking day.
"And that's why you're rated higher than all my other, well, let's call them employees." Mr. Murphy said taking a drag of his cigar.
Mr. Murphy was the type of man that no one wanted to talk to. Not because he was annoying or had an unattractive personality. He was the type of man who had so much power it would intimate even millionaires. Believe me, I've seen it happen.
Mr. Murphy was an older man. He had thinning white hair and a goatee that was thicker than his hair. I guess looks can sometimes be deceiving. He wore only suits, and was behind most of the facility's across the country. And I had the pleasure of sitting with him at this very moment.
"You see that one, what do they call him? Ig- something. Anyway as you can see he is a bit neglected. The weakest link. The liability. Blind as a bat. Poor thing." He inhaled deeply and blew smoke back into my face.
I waited for him to continue.
"He's slowing down the whole operation, a distraction if you will. His inability to see was never apart of the agenda. We need him to see if we ever want Ms. Maximum to fulfill her destiny." he paused. "The boy can't be lugged around like a briefcase. But he can't be expected to leave and live alone either. You know how maximum reacts to one of her precious flock members leaving."
"Sir, what are you planning to do, fix his sight?" I asked rather boldly. I could only hope I wouldn't get scolded for that one.
"And have another screwed up operation? We can't take the chance nor the time." He merely smiled.
"You aren't going to, I mean you couldn't. You aren't going to kill him are you sir?" I asked, again boldly. He couldn't kill Iggy. I wouldn't allow it. Even if he was the boss.
"Boldness doesn't run in your favor Batchelder. Remember who you are dealing with. When I say jump, you say?"
I internally sighed. "How high." I said with fake enthusiasm.
"Anyway, no I'm not going to kill the boy. That would cause an emotional distraction for Maximum. Can't have that. And besides, I have something planned.. Were using his weaknesses against him, and the fact the that he is already neglected, it's smoke to our lit cigar. It's still experimental, but it will fix all our problems with this Ig boy. Good thing we are in the experimentation department now aren't we."
I studied this for a second while he continued smoking the cigar.
"What experiment would that be sir?" I spoke finally.
"You'll find out in good time. You know too much already." He said.
"The studies department needs you. They've called me twice in the last hour. Something about a final mutation." He said shaking his hand for me to leave. I had too much on my mind to go back to my studies. If only I could get out of this place once and for all.
If only . . . .
"And Batchelder?" He called out. I was already halfway down the hallway.
"Sir?" I answered, turning.
"Don't forget that our conversation was just between you and I."
"I won't sir, you have my word."
*Squee!* All the drama! So yeah I know this is totally a different chapter than what everyone expected. Please don't hate me!
I already know what's planned out, so again if anyone wants to take a guess fill free. And please fill free to criticize this as much as you want, I'm not even sure how I like how it turned out. I think I like it, especially with the last part but I'm not sure how clear everything was in the beginning.
Anyway, RnR?
