Chapter 6

Gone Too Far

David was observing the amounts of odd soda that was in the fridge. He arrived at the gas station. The same one the VHS showed. The same husky from the video spoke to David in an Indian accent, "Are you looking for anything in particular?'' he said.

"No thanks," David replied, "I'm just looking around."

Nick and Judy were staying back in the car. David was hesitant about this, but since he wasn't a cop, it would be less suspicious. He looked at the same angle the camera was. He had an odd felling when he stared at it, like he was being watched. All of a sudden, he heard glass shattering. Someone outside was stealing a car.

"Oh no! Not again!" said the husky as he ran out the door.

David was the only one in the gas station. Then, the walky-talky he got from Nick and Judy moments ago was going off.

"Now's your chance!" Judy said, "Step inside."

David made sure the coast was clear. He pretended to drop something for the show of the security cameras. He bent down to pick it up, and at the same time sneaking behind the counter. He stood up because now cameras were watching and went to open the door that was there. It was locked.

David left his "lock-picking" key somewhere in Judy's apartment. If he did use it, Judy would start ranting about how much of a criminal offense is too lock-pick. No one was watching, David thought to himself, so I don't see how I broke any laws.

So instead, he used the easiest lock-picking trick in the book. He pulled out the card the moose had from earlier in the bar and sat it in between the slit of the door. Then, he just easily slid it down and pushed. Why haven't I've been arrested yet? David smirked to himself. He opened the door, not expecting what would happen next.

The room was filled with computer servers. They were all beeping, lighting up, and making weird noises. The room was messy, too. Papers were spreaded everywhere on the floor, files shelves were ripped open and folders were scattered everywhere. Each folder had a specific person on it. And the yin-yang symbols were seen everywhere. There were flatscreen TV's, about 4 of them, where on each corner of the room. He noticed a video to start playing on one of the TV's. The strangest thing was that it wasn't fake-looking like the world he was in. The video was the real world.

The video started with a man, a human man, tied up to a chair with a sack on his head. Someone who he couldn't recognize took the sack off of his head. The man look beaten up. He had a black eye, his lip was bleeding, and a tooth was missing. A deep, altered voice started to speak.

"Where is he?" he spoke.

"I don't know what you are talking about!" the man on the camera said.

All of a sudden, he was screaming in pain. He was being electrocuted.

"Don't play games with me!" he said. "You saw him last! At the train station!"

David finally realized who it was. It was the guy at the ticket booth. Why would they want me?

"You'll never catch him you son of a-"

Before he could finished his sentence, he was electrocuted again.

"That's it!" he yelled, "Take him out!"

Another unidentified man (who again he couldn't see him) walked in with a pistol and put the sack back on the mans head. The man pointed the gun at his head.

"I'll give you one last chance!" the muffled voice said, "WHERE IS HE?!"

"Please," the man begged in tears, "I have a family!"

"That's not what I asked!"

He then he did the one thing David never expected he would do next. He pulled the trigger. David wanted to look away, but he couldn't. The man sat there lifeless. The deep voice spoke again.

"This was a waste of time." the voice said as he went to turn off the camera. The TV then cutted back to the symbol. David stood there in shock. He had no words.

"David?" The walky-talky spoke again, "David, are you there?"

David couldn't speak at all, he was shocked that someone could do something just to kill him. Just then, he heard a voice.

"I've should've known this!" a voice behind him said.

He turned around and noticed the same husky from the cashier. This time with a Thompson machine gun. He cocked the gun and tried to shoot. David, full of adrenaline, jumped behind one of the server computer as bullets flew everywhere. He suddenly heard clicking, which means he had a chance to run. But then, he felt it got a lot warmer. He looked up to see one of the servers on fire. It feel on top of the husky and the rest of the room caught on fire. He turned on his walky-talky.

"Can someone get a fire department?" he yelled.

He tried running to the door, but a piece of burning wood piled over the door. He kicked the wall to see if it would break. It only made a dent. As he turned, the entire room was in flames. He then noticed a flame approaching to 2 red barrels. What a second. David thought, Doesn't red barrels mean they they can exp-

BOOM!

The room exploded, walls broke, David flew about 10 feet in the air. He landed on a car, which for some reason broke his fall. He rolled off the car and fell on the concrete surface. David took a look of himself. Bruises, cuts and burns were all on his body, blood was on his hands. He found a piece of paper next to him. The only surviving evidence. He looked at the paper and found the last piece of evidence.

They were coordinates.

And then, he passed out.
