The chase

Inside an unremarkable lab was a shadow speeding past rows of test tubes, jumping over desks and the like while the sirens keep blaring.

[OH GOD. If the aliens don't kill me then this headspliting headache will.] Now that I think about it, the sirens and all these notes are in English... [Dammit, there goes my fantasy bubble] As I thought of that, I finaly noticed that the only exit of this room started closing. In fact it looked like a 10 ton steel wall was closing down.

Curses. I will need to jump and slide, indiana jones style! HURMPH. That single exhalation was all it took to rocket forward. The door didn't have enough time to close halfway.

[At least they gave me superpowers during my stay]. [Actually, now that I think about it it might not be that good...] My thoughts were halted by the distant sound of hurried footsteps. Many and heavy footsteps.

As

«WARNING! WARNING! We have an escape attempt by subject 00. All forces head for sector 7, do not use lethal force. I repeat, lethal force is not authorized!»

HOLY MOLY that's loud. Dammit they made my ears too sensitive, I demand a refund.[hehe...]

My hilarious joke was interrupted by a sense of urgency to run. [Well those non lethal friends sure sound friendly. Better run the opposite direction]. I started sprinting once again. This time in a huge corridor, lighted as always by red lights. [Where should I go now? I can't just run forever.] is what I thought as I turned to the right.

Here was another room that had it's doors shut tight. This must have been some kind of break room. [Nevermind. I bet that I can spit acid at that door. Because science ]. I turned around to see the people chasing me in the previous room.

Holy moly. So much for being non lethal. These guys were armed to the teeth! They had a black kind of armor with huge weapons. NOPE. My only choice is to charge the door. I closed my eyes and charged with my right hand up at the door, smashing it to smithereens.

[That actually hurt], suddenly I heard I high pitched scream. As i turned to look, I saw what probably was a female scientist, having fell down to the floor by the shock. [This is my chance!] I need to question her.

« Madame, please tell me how I can get out of here » She is sitting there in a daze, sigh, I was probably expecting too much.

«LADY, QUICKLY TELL ME WHERE THE EXIT IS» that ought to wake her up. And indeed it did.

« Emmm, left and then .... right. You should reach the courtyard » I flashed her a smile.

« Thanks » I said and started running. Afterall I didn't want to meet my pursuers just yet. No, no sir.

By turning left I saw 4 guards standing in the corridor. [ I betcha they are guarding the exit ] ,as I thought of that my eyes lit up. Yes, thank you kind lady. For that I will erect a statue in your honor. The guards tensed up and one of them screamed on top of his lungs « we got visual , He IS GOING TO RAM US », thanks to my super hearing, I managed to hear (care...ul, he ...s ..... first.... highly val... do not ...rm) oh boy.

I said « Move out of the way» at that point I could see that the hands if the guard's were trembling. [ Oh come on I can't be that scary, right? In fact I think that I am THE VICTIM here]

Pew.

Is all I heard. It was enough to realize what happend. « You.... You.... You shot me!»
