chapter 5

Hours have went by and the driver is going down a lone gravel road. A few minutes goes by and

the road ends at the base of a mountain. The passenger presses a series of buttons and an opening

in the base of the mountain appears. They drive into the opening and the passage closes back after them. The tunnel is dark but suddenly lights turn on with the sides of the tunnel. The paddy wagon is sun tinted, so that you can not see who is ridding up front. The tunnel leads into a large underground parking lot that goes down several floors. The two men driver down to bottom floor and park near the front entrance.

The two men exit the front of the vehicle and shut the door behind themselves. They knew the procedure for dropping off subjects for the military so they begin to open the doors to the back of the paddy wagon. There is one problem since the boy is nowhere to be found.! They begin to curse out loud and wonder where on Rindat this brat could have gone. They are at their wit's end with this troublesome boy.

#

They ripped apart the back of the wagon apart and find no boy or even source of exit. Before the men could find the boy, a red convertible pulls up, and parks across three different parking spots.

It is the man in a trench coat!

He has a cherry slush in his left hand and he takes a drink.

The man in a trench coat yells," Did I not tell you two to be careful and not lose the boy? How stupid can you two be?"

He throws the slush at the passenger's head and is covering the passenger. The two men search all around for the boy and can not find him!

#

The man in a trench coat's face is red as his cherry slush once was. He has had enough of these two buffoons and decides to take things into his own hands. He put his right hand into his open coat and pulls out a grenade and throws it underneath the paddy wagon. The two men jump for cover along with the boy. The paddy wagon is mere rumble and a smoke is coming off the rumble of once was a vehicle. The man in a trench coat pulls out a taser and fires it into the smoke.

A scream can be heard as the taser spews out massive electricity.

The smoke clears and it is the boy laying comatose on the hard concrete face first with the taser prongs still in his back. The two men are laying on the ground face to the Rindat. They was sweat on their faces as they return to their feet. The two men dust themselves off and act like nothing had occurred. The two men do not want to anger the officer any more than they already have.

The man in a trench coat turns off the taser gun and the wire disconnects from the gun. He walks over to the boy and rips the prongs out of the boy's back. The boy is flipped unto his back and his pulse is checked at his wrist.

The boy is alive and the pulse is normal!

The man in a trench coat returns to a full vertical position when several guards come rushing out the nearby metallic double doors. The guards all salute the man in a trench coat and the salute is returned. The boy is grabbed up by the guards and is about to be taken inside.

The man in a trench coat says," Take him to the best hospital unit and see that he is taken care of. He is a special subject of our motherland Urano!"

Everyone salutes and the guards exit into the building.

The man in the trench coat says," It is sad when formerly trusted men have to liquidated! You two have failed the great Urano and it's people!"

The two men begin to beg for mercy while on their knees bowing.

The man in a trench coat is not effected in the least and begins to walk slowly towards the two

men.

The two men begin to run for their lives as fast as they can. They do not even think there is no way out for them.

The man in a trench coat pulls out two Uzis from inside his trench coat and begins to fire upon

the two men.

The men begin to be riddle with bullet holes and shake violently. The men hit the parking lot

face first and their bodies begin to dissolve into nothing. Even the clothes of the dead men are melted

and there is no trace of the two men left behind. Unless you had been there, you would never know that two men had died there.

The man in the trench coat puts away his Uzis back under his coat and he goes to his car. He sits

in the driver's seat and grabs a huge cheeseburger out of a brown paper bag. He uses his free hand and grabs a grape slush out of the cup holder. He gets out of his car and shuts the door with the side of his body. Then he finally enters the entrance to the military base.

#

The boy woke up in a strange room and he was out still of it mentally. He had to been drugged with various medications. The boy was tested while he was asleep and he an IV in his right arm. Various wires are covering the boy all over his head and chest. He is tripping out due to his body being over medicated. Whoever had done this to him must had wanted him to stay put for a while until they had decided what they were going to do with him.

#

A nurse comes into the room and checks on the boy. She has an electric clipboard that seems to have some sort of check list and is going through all the list. She checks all the machines that are bedside.

The boy speaks," Where am I?"

The nurse pays the boy no heed and keeps going through the list.

He speaks," Who are you?"

The nurse still does not answer the boy and walks out the room.

He speaks to himself," She acted like I was not even there! This place is something horrible! Where could I be?"

The boy regains his senses and decides to remove all the junk off him. He loathes being treated like some inconsequential lab rat. The wires that are connected to the boy's head by electrodes, struggle to come out of his boy's hair left untouched. One wire after another comes off until the boy's head is free of all of wires and electrodes. Some sort of goo was used to keep the electrodes on the kidnapped boy's head. The boy rips off the wires that are pasted to his chest. The boy is glad that he is still young and does not have a lot of chest hair due to only being twelve. He does not take much solace in such a fact and continues performing the task of freeing himself from the strange machines.

The boy has been putting off taking the IV out of his arm but he starts to frown due to

task he is about to do. The IV hurts as it is taken out and the boy has to bite his lip to keep himself from

yelling. The boy is so mad about the pain from the IV that he stabs the needle into the bed.

The boy finally realizes that he is just wearing his boxers.

The boy thinks," I need to find my clothes so I can get out of here and travel freely out in the open."

He starts to search the room for his clothes.

#

He looks into the trash cans of the hospital room that he was in and finds his clothes thrown in one of trash cans. He pulls the clothes out and sees that junk has not been thrown out on top of his outfit. He puts his noes to the clothes and they do not have smell on them. He was wearing a tee shirt and track paints. He had hurriedly put on a pair of closed backed sandals. He puts all his clothes on and readies himself for some attempt to escape.

He goes to the hospital room closet and gets all the extra pillows that he find. He rigs the bed so that it will look like he is sleeping under the covers while laying on his side. The boy ponders to what way that he is going to get. He sees that the room has windows with the binds closed. He is excited to escape when he the binds open up to a brick wall. The windows were just for show. The boy wonders to how he is to escape. He can't just walk out the room since he will stick out like a sore thumb. The boy shakes his head and looks up at the ceiling.

The boy's face turns from a frown to a huge grin.

The boy is 5'2" and about one hundred and twenty pounds. He is no huge athlete.

The ceiling has several tiles and has to have a gap between the tile and the real top of the ceiling.

The boy hears somebody coming.

"It is your turn to take vitals of the brat!"

Arguing goes back and forward and the boy knows that he has to get away before he is caught.

"Fine I will go!"
