. Only you-the platters:
Dancing under the shadow of a single light, two people, one man dress in a parade police uniform was slowly and gently moving left and right with a woman in a blue sparkle dress.
Only you~
Can make, this world seems right.
Only you~
Can make the darkness bright~
Only you~, and you alone
Can~ thrill me, like you do~
Circling in the middle of a ball room, the two continued for a full minute before the women came closer to the men ears.
"So officer Murphy, what its feel like to be the one in charge this time?" she spoked softly, tender in his voice.
And fill my heart with love, for only you~
"It feels like someone who can finally invite my wife in a fancy ballroom like this" Smiling softly at her, she surprises him by a gentle kiss on his mouth before giggling at him.
Speechless by her movement, he soon follows her by a weak laugh.
"You know…I wouldn't accept that promotion if it wasn't for you Sarah" he said softly, with a hint of proudness in is word.
"I know" she responded before putting her head on his chest and continuing to dance.
Ho only you~
Can make this change in me.
For~ its true~
You are my destiny.
When you hold~ my hand, I understand~
The magic that you do~
"I wish this moment would last forever" said Murphy, one hand on his wife waist, and the other on her shoulder, eyes closed, and mind suspended on the music.
"Me too" she said with a smile, before sadly frowned and look at him in the eyes "But thing don't last forever and beside…".
You're my dream~
Come true~
"You have to wake up Murphy…" question by this, Murphy opens his eyes and planted in sight into her sad eyes "What do you mea-" without noticing it, the scene started to become much darker and little by little the music died down, becoming a mere echoes around them.
My one, and only you~
"The world needs you…they need a light of hope…so wake up love" she said kindly, tear in her eyes and smile on her face before starting to fade in the darkness of the infinite void.
Not understanding what was happening, Murphy tried to reach for his wife, but was instantly interrupted when another voice made is presence ''System rebooting".
Location: Unknown
Time: Unknown
Illuminating the room of an old lab where multiple pods and crate filled with a strange green hue liquid devoid of any occupants, as the exception of one who was slowly emptying itself.
"Pur..Pur..Pur..Purging system…de..de..de..de..Default" came the broken voice of the AI who was maintaining this place "To all employees..ev..ev..ev..eva..Evacuate in order…omni…corp..Thanks…cooperation", purging the remaining liquids of the pods, each one of them open at the same time leaving the person who occupied it fall to the ground with a heavy metallic sound.
Coughing the remaining substance out of his lungs, he started too crawled to a nearby pillar and sits himself on, each one of his movement was an agony and even breathing was painful for him.
"System rebooting…success…welcome agent Murphy", Murphy? Was it is name, yes he remember now, he remember that he was a police officer in Detroit, but who was this woman, why can't he remember her, "Internal scan to all the remaining system…brain connection to the remaining application in progress, please wait…" system? Application? What does it mean? Lifting is hand to look at it, he was mortified to see that it was replace with an robotic one as the rest of his body, except his right hand and face, what is that? Is this a nightmare? I can't remember…Why I can't remember...thinks Murphy…dammit! Think and remember!
Closing is eyes desperately, Murphy use all of its might to remember how he became like that and why he is here in this place.
Location: Detroit city
Time: 8 AM February 2th, 2009.
Sitting in a armored police car, two police man equipped with bullet proof vest and 45 Glock, were eating there breakfast, one of them was eating a sandwich with crumble eggs and bacon, as for the other he was just drinking a cup of coffee.
"You know Murphy, you won't last long if you keep drinking coffee all day long" breaking is sandwich in two, he handed the other piece to is partner, "Here take a bite", drinking is coffee, Murphy made a no gesture with is hand, "Nah I'm good brother, just continue too-", Exhausted by his false excuse, he simply showed forcefully the sandwich in his mouth, "Shut the fuck up and eat it dammit", taking a bite from it, both smile at each other before continuing their meal, "you're still thinking about that case right?", a long silence fell on top of them before he gave him a response "Yeah…" letting an exhausted sight, is partner just pinch is eyes in exhaustion, "Hey you couldn't done anything else, bastard was protect by an corporation, you did what you can", frowning at this, Murphy just stared at the bottom of his cup in thought of what Mike as just say, "I know Mike, its just…this thing shouldn't be normal…letting that bastard escape after he kill a child…a fucking child dammit", sadness in his eyes, Mike was about to cheer Murphy up until the radio came to life, "To all unit in the Z area, we have an 10-31 in progress at the Millender center, over", gulping the remaining sandwich in his hand, Murphy took the radio and started to respond, "Central, this is Romeo 5, we are on our way, over", Waiting a few second the radio instantly came back to life "Copy that Romeo 5, over and out", Drinking the remaining coffee from his cup and tossing it in a nearby trashcan, Murphy gave one last check up on his equipment before going, "alright lets rock and roll", nodding too him Mike started to finish is meal and turn on the engine of the car, "Amen".
Ten minute as pass since the two of them as arrive on the crime scene, in the beginning everything seems to be calm and peaceful…until the first shot came into Murphy left shoulder, "Fuck! Get down!" taking cover behind the car, a rain of bullet and fire came to them, "Dammit! It was an ambush…you alright men", pulling out is gun, Mike took out a small peak from its cover before instantly going back when a bullet zip right pass his head, "Took a bullet in the shoulder…but I'm good, vest absorb it", wincing in pain Murphy started to press the button on is radio, "Central, this is Romeo 5, we have been take on a ambush at Millender center! We are requesting for back up, now!", Looking for any visible treats, Murphy just like is partner, tried to take out a sneak peek only for him to go down when it started to rain bullet again, "Romeo 5, this is central, we have multiple team on your way, back up will be there in 20 minute", we don't have twelve minute, wincing at another shot, Murphy was looking for a way to spot the bastard position until he saw from the reflection of a nearby store window, the light of the shot coming from an old apartment, "Hey Mike I think I know where they are, I just need you to cover me", questioning him for a second, he instantly nod and began to mentally prepare himself, "Okay…go!",covering is partner, Murphy started to sprint into a nearby alley, fading away in the dark.
It has been now five minute since Murphy have separated from Mike to enter the building where the attacker has been shooting at them, and by god this place was getting on his nerve, every creek or splash from the multiple puddle of water put him on edge, it was also the fact that the place was only illuminated by the few rays of light who have manage to penetrate between the cracks in the walls, and the holes in the barricaded windows, sweating nervously, Murphy made his way in the disaffected building and his old corridor, taking cover behind a corned wall he took out a small peek, but instinct took out when he hear the pump of a shotgun being loads, dropping on the floor instantly, the wall where is head as been was now blasted into trillion piece, "GO FUCK YOURSELF! YOU PIG", hearing another shell being loads, Murphy started to randomly shoot in the wall, shooting tree time by fear he hear a loud thud and the sound of a gun being drop, slowly getting up on his feat, he carefully took a peek from the hole to see is attacker with a bullet hole between is eye, sighting in relief and reloading is pistol with a new magazine, he slowly continued his way in the building with more caution that ever.
Entering the last floor of the building, Murphy started to feel more reassured when he ear the siren outside the building, fucking finally I already took out two of them and this is only now that you come, grunting in frustration, he let his self leave a thought to rethink about the second suspect who has tried to stab him with a machete…only for him to fall on his own feet and stab himself in the eyes, fucking idiot, sliding this thought for an another time, he instantly turned around with is his gun pointed when he hear an creaking sound, "Jesus…are you serious Mike!?", take by surprise by his friend, Murphy lower is gun down…but just barely, "Sorry bother, thought you would some support here", shaking his head in a negative manner, both suddenly hear a object rolling in their direction until it bump on Murphy foot, by the time he realize it was just too late, "shit, GRENA-".
Darkness was the only thing that Murphy was in now, with only a few echoes of voice and light strong enough to pierce between the void of is stases, "Do you really think it will save him?" say the voice of a woman, "I assure you miss, he will be followed with the doctor and technologies that omnicorp can offer", say the another voice more masculine and older, with a long silence, Murphy could barely open one of his eyes to see the shade of a blonde golden hair before falling into the void again, "Okay then…do it doctor".
Present time
"All system reactivated", that's right the accident, he remember the accident how he became…this, but who was this women, was she a friend? A sister? A lover?
So many questions with answer that will wait for another time, now what he needed to do is to get out of this place.
Pushing on is leg with all is strength, Murphy made is way in the old concrete corridor of the ancient labs until he came out face to face to a rusted metal door, felling a tinge of electricity in his biceps, he was finally able to use is arm at is full capacity, "Reconnection with the arm complete, strength capacity…at its fullest and ready to use agent" stretching is finger in preparation, Murphy by instinct gave a powerful punch (with is robotic hand) into the door, blasting it from is frame and finally letting the light come inside, leaving the building who has been a bunker in reality, Murphy was welcomed by the sight of the moonlight illumining the horizon of the dessert, "Connection with the local police network…succeed, initialization to the nearest police station in progress…nearest station is…40 km situated in night city at little china, Watson" 40 km, well that's a bummer, but hey at least I know were the nearest city is, activating is combat visor without noticing it, Murphy started to target the nearest path to take before walking in is direction, one of his first the direction h will take to his legend.
