It was the fourth day of Sam as the assistant of Ronald and he found the job quite nice. But he knew his mission and he knew that he needed to put a stop to whatever Ronald was planning but he had not heard Ronald uttering any word about the vaccine and now Sam was beginning to doubt Marie.
"Here ! Take these files into the big room to the left. And......umm....yes.......bring the thick red long notebook from there, alright? Now go on",said Ronald to Sam
Sam took the files that Ronald gave him and continued his way to the door,when Ronald again said,
" Hey, listen, there is Starbucks nearby . Bring me a cold foam iced espresso from there while I am doing some of my work and remember to check my e-mails when you have returned.""Alright ",said Sam and went out of the room .
Sam went to the room as Ronald had instructed and kept down the files and picked up the red thick notebook. Sam noticed something weird about it. The notebook was not something as new as the other possessions of Ronald . It was old and looked withered and some pages were sticking out of it. It looked like Ronald had been working on it for many years. It's condition was quite bad.
Sam picked up the notebook and instead of going to Ronald and giving the notebook he took it and continued his way out of the building to Starbucks to get the Espresso for Ronald and a mocha for himself. Not for once did he consider about the stupid decision he had taken . Either he could have left the notebook in the room and picked it up when he had got the Espresso or he could have gone and given the notebook to Ronald and then gone to have the Espresso for him.
So with the notebook in his hand he went into Starbucks and gave the order"One cold foam iced espresso and one white chocolate mocha ", said Sam to the girl behind the counter.
"That's quite a nice choice.",said the girl smiling at him .
"Thanks....", muttered Sam to the girl, going red and taking a seat in one of the chairs.
Sam absent-mindedly opened the notebook.
Ronald had drawn some pictures and scribbled many reactions and written manty things and just to pass time , Sam started reading.And he read,"The main procedure of the transmission of this is to either scratch , bite or saliva .[advantage]
It is not transferred through air[drawback]
It paralizes the sense to think [advantage]
It increases the ability to see in darkness.[advantage]
They start to work at a given code word[big advantage]
They won't hurt the one who gives the commands [big advantage]
They will rip,tear,kill anyone they are commanded to[advantage]
Strongest Human power× 10 = their power[ advantage]
They are afraid of height,i.e; they can die if thrown from a height[drawback]
They don't have feelings [advantage]
Advantages outnumbered drawbacks. Mission ready to proceed✓∆
The chemicals and equipments ready for use at its best.
No problems detected. All ready . Just waiting for the test. On Hugo. The strongest guard.Waiting for the result.
Scheduled on Friday."
Sam stared at the page for a long time and his face was white as chalk.
His mind started racing."So this is the notebook where Ronald notes down all the dangerous experiment. So that is what the vaccine is. Worse than a human........... Paralizes senses....... transmitted by bites and scratches............ To be experimented on Hugo...this Friday......", whispered Sam to himself"Are you alright sir?",said the girl with two Starbucks mugs in her hand."I called out to you three times. I was asking the names sir .....the names to write on them"
Sam just stared blankly at the girl and then said,"no need "
He grabbed the two cups from her hand and stood up"Are you alright sir? You look terrible",said the girl.
"I am not okay.....I am terrified.....I am not alright.......", muttered Sam indistinctly and grabbed the notebook in the other hand the coffee cups in other he made his way to the building .... towards Ronald.
Leaving the bemused girl staring at him confusedly, as he left without another word."Are you alright John?",asked Lily"Ofcourse I am mum!",said Sam smiling. It was weird, being called by his old name,but he could get used to that."Your father is having breakfast downstairs, do you wish to have some?",asked Lily"Wait....father?",asked Sam."Yes""Yeah yeah sure, I would love breakfast",said Sam and went downstairs.He saw his father sitting a chair in the dining room and eating buttered toast. He looked much younger and happier."Dad?",said Sam and hugged LeoLeo looked questionably at Lily but she shrugged at him."He
Sam pinched himself.... He just saw Ronald fire himself with the gun infront of him.He was shocked, he never knew that Ronald's death could ever affect him, but Ronald was his only hope he had.....Ronald's wallet had fallen and he picked it up, a peper was inside with a date written on it, 7th November 1990. Sam didnot know what it meant, but without Ronald, he had no one he knew. All the people he ever knew, loved, hated were lying dead infront of him and he couldn't do a single thing to save them. He was helpless, completely helpless. He wanted to kill himself too but he knew he wouldn't be able to pull the trigger. He had nowhere to go at all. Suddenly the feeling of complete hopelessness gripped him. He was going crazy thinking that if he walked into to New York city then he might be able to to attract the attention of the Nocuous Men and they might help him kill himself brutally. But he was too scared.
Sam looked around.Oliver, Marie, Leo....all of them were dead. He felt this emptiness in his chest that nothing could fill.He picked up the device that Oliver had given him and went ahead with no destination in mind.He saw a woman approaching him. He stopped. It became clearer and he saw it was Diana.She was dressed in a completely different manner. She came and knelt infront of Bolan and checked his pulse."He is alive",she said."Don't worry I will kill him"She did not stop to talk to Sam. She went on and knelt infront of Oliver's body."He is at peace now",she said, touching his cheeks."He was my best friend""Did you even care about him?!",shouted Sam"Watch your time",said Diana app
Bolan shot Leo in the chest.Leo fell, his back touching the ground before his hands could. One hand on the wound in his chest.He gasped for breath.Leo heard Sam screaming like a maniac. He heard Marie and Oliver shouting and saw Sam and Oliver coming to his aid. He felt Sam put Leo's head on his thigh. He felt Oliver covering up the wound with his hands but he knew that his time had come."PLEASE! DAD! DONT LEAVE ME!", shouted Sam, crying."I-I love you Sam",said Leo, smiling, blood pouring out his mouth. " Isn't it ironic Sam? Ever since your mother died ...I always had this hole in my heart and right now....Aah...I have- I have an actual hole in my chest"Sam said,"Please...sshhhhh, just -just keep quiet, we are gonna get you out of here dad! Please just hold on!".
Oliver drove like a maniac while Sam shouted out words of confidence. It was actually very difficult for Oliver to drive in a situation like that.Blood everywhere, Oliver felt dizzy and wanted to puke but he knew better and kept driving at a speed of 190 to 200 kilometres per hour.Now, the six of them were convinced that the two creatures following them were the Nocuous Men. Marie kept whispering something in Spanish. The guards wasted quite a lot of bullets shooting at the Nocuous Men. While Leo and Sam held each other's hand and prayed.The Nocuous Men seemed to be getting closer to them. Their speed increased as each second passed.Suddenly something struck in Sam's mind."OLIVER! STOP THE CAR!,shouted Sam."SAM I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE PANICKING ,
"Is that SeRiOuSly your great plan?",asked one of the guards"Ummmm...yeah, is something wrong with it?",asked Oliver, clicking his pen"Come on sir! There is everything wrong with it!",said the other guardOliver tried not to look offended."Okay then",he said. "You guys have a better plan? I am really open to suggestions!"Sam put his on Oliver's shoulder and said,"Hey listen Oliver, what he means to say is that if we proceed with this plan,then the chances of success is not very high, we might get caught and killed for that matter""Weren't you the one who wanted to get out of here so badly Sam?!",asked Oliver looking at SamMarie held Oliver's hand and said,"Alrig
The unleashing of the Nocuous Men had unleashed terror on the city. The part where thought that no one would be infected, worked. The bites and scratches of the Nocuous Men were not working on the people but , that didn't stop the Nocuous Men from being tearing the humans down. Sam desparately wished he had a plan B. The city was almost dead. A handful of lucky people were alive as far as the heat signatures showed that Oliver was able to find by hacking into the illegal satellites."I should have known it wouldn't work",shouted Sam"Sam calm down! We are going to get out of here",said Oliver."How Oliver?",asked Sam."The whole city is dead. All the people on the streets are dead! It- It was a nightmare! It can't be true! They are in this building! Just outside that door! We have lost so many guards trying to protect us! I-I can't d
There was a mess in the hall and Oliver couldn't breathe. He was having an asthma attack and he'd never had one in his life. Sam was shouting something but he couldn't hear him. Everything was blurry, the only sound he could hear was a buzzing sound."Stop this please",Oliver was shouting even though he couldn't even hear himself."MAKE IT STOP PLEASE!"The last thing he saw before passing out was Sam, Leo, Marie and a few guards shouting something. Sam had his hand on Oliver's chest."PLEASE MAKE THIS ST-STOPP!"********************When Oliver woke up, he immediately regretted it. His head felt like it was going to explode and his chest was paining."Wh-what happened?",asked Oliver looking at Sam who was standing beside the bed."You...y
It was night and Oliver was staring at the ceiling, lying on the bed, thinking his whole life was a lie. Like....it was literally a lie. He just couldn't remember any life other than the one he knew he had lived.Sam told Oliver everything about his past and Oliver didn't know how to react. A small part of him wanted to thank Ronald for saving him from dying of poverty and another small part wanted to throttle Ronald for wrenching him apart from his family and a big part of him wanted to find out his real parents.Oliver smiled, he remembered Sam had told him his real name was Benjamin Bruce.It sounded stupid to Oliver. He went towards the mirror and looked at himself and said,"I am Benjamin Bruce"Oliver smiled, it really did sound like a stupid name. But then,his parents had named him that, it felt like it was something precious to him.
