Call me Johnny Slicky

(Daniel POV)

I laid in silence within the confines of the hotel room. For some reasons, I find some peace in talking to myself... Detaching myself from the outside world with this inside dialogue.

Call me crazy, but try to stay sane with a blindfold for the past 25 years of your life and you'd understand what I'm talking about. Now, I don't mean blindfold ain't cool and such, but it's just, I find it annoying that I can't see myself banging a chick... The fear of getting catfished is overwhelming.

*Shudder*

By now, i heard the comfortable ding on my phone, an indication of the $50,000 seating cooly in my account. For some reasons, I admire the dedication Cassandra and her organization put in locating me... I feel honored.

*Tak*

*Tak*

My ears twitch as I sensed a figure behind the door of my room. Probably room service. I ignored the passing signature as I quickly gathered my scattered thoughts.

For now, I just need to focus on sleeping before I approach the task at hand later tonight.

...

...

(8pm the next day)

The darkness stretched far high in the sky, the stars sprinkled around as little glistening particles of golden stickers. The moon hung high in the sky. A marvelous sight, too bad I can't see it's beauty.

My figure flipped across the edge of the building and onto the ground with a soft thud, barely enough to whiff up suspicion.

My seismic senses spread round the entire building, and soon my mind was presented by a 3D version of my surroundings. It first starts off as a black empty void, but soon the faint grey ripples of soundwaves and vibrations from the ground moving in two directions, vertically and horizontally, providing me faint signatures of what may seem to obstruct the flow of the vibration...

A fence. My fingers grazed the fence body, feeling up the surface before leaping over the fence after a brief moment of calculation. This shit is exhausting.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be 8 armed guards... 3 unarmed, possibly scientist or workers." I muttered, my palm feeling the surface of the wall I was leaning on. This should be a stealth mission to avoid possible confrontation.

Tracing my fingers across the wall, I was met with the door which I knocked twice... Not a second later, it made a *TING* sound as it was swung opened by one of the guards, but I soon struck as a viper: a clean elbow strike to the left temple, leaving his body as wet noodles.

Dragging the body out of sight, I soon stripped him naked, donning on his clothes which smelled like fish by the way. Luckily, he had a grey cap which I used to conceal my ink black hair, contrast to his dumb green hair.. But the issue here would be my blindfold.

"Haa! Fuck it."

With the key card at hand, I swiped it over the door knob and it was swung slightly opened after the brief *TING* paving way for me to step in.

I felt a slight disturbance and took note of the three cameras in the hallway. For starters, this is about to get a whole lot of messier...

With a calm forward stride, I stepped forward, with 'my' rifle placed before me in a protective way, obstructing the sight of my face. Meddling into the shadows, evading the presence of the guards till I approached a staircase that led up and down.

For a moment, a wave of confusion washed over me, before a look of terror etched my countenance. My greatest weakness...

"Shit. Up? Or down?" I wondered, but my instincts screamed i should go down...

So I went up.

"I don't have time for this." I muttered as I clutched hard the railings before proceeding up, one step at a time... I know, I do acrobatics, take down giants with ease, flip over a freaking crowd but can't take the stairs. I get it, my kryptonite is way more profound than any Clark out there.

*Trip*

I slipped, nearly crashing my two front teeth on the ground, but I somehow ignited a hidden button on the wall I unconsciously leaned against... I curiously spread my senses, concentrating it through the wall and saw some kind of storage area.

The wall parted by itself to reveal it spacious interior. Scraps littered everywhere, boxes scattered around in a chaotic formation... But the elongated box in the middle of the room drew my attention as my senses couldn't pierce through whatever material the box was made from.

I feel like my curiosity would get me killed at this point as my fingers soon ran through the texture of this strange box. I noticed the crack around the tip of the box.

"Feels like an opening." Is what a virgin would say on his first night.

Ahem! And my guess was right as it was indeed a lid that sealed the box. At this point, I feel my curiosity would surely get me sold as a rare product as it lead me to attempt to push off the lid.

....

...

But it won't budge. This shit is made out of stone like the Egyptian tombs or what? I used the rifle muzzle like a makeshift crowbar, a futile attempt to flip it out like pancake.

'I thought these things open anything?' I thought inwardly, recalling several times crowbars were used for car theft, breaking in a house, you name it.

With a sigh of disappointment, I left the box in peace and head straight out... Not expecting a figure to bump into me the worst possible time.

"Sorry there mate." The guard quickly apologized. Looks like he was raised from a healthy household.

"No problem Sir." I replied... But it seems like my reply was a bit more formal, raising suspicion as he paused to stare at me with a narrowed gaze.

"What do you mean Sir? It's just -" his words soon halts midway as he picked up something from my slight smile.

"INTRUD-"

*WHACK!*

*WHAM!*

Slamming the butt of my rifle against his knees, he collapsed on the ground in agony, but received a straight jab to the head, using the butt of the gun.

Cocking my gun, I prepared for battle as the alarms soon went off, footsteps soon approached the staircase. Taking extra magazines from the unconscious guard, I carefully made my way up the stairs, prepared to take on the up foes before the down reaches up.

*SLAM!*

The doors were kicked opened by two guards who unleashed fury on me, prompting me to take cover behind steel pipe.

*TRAATRAATRAA*

*BAng* *Bang* *Bang!*

A stray bullet hit the pipe, causing a gush of strange white smoke to leak and soon encompass the entire corridor.

*Click* *Click*

"Now that's the sound I love to hear."

*Bang!* *Bang!!*

Jumping out of cover, I took aim at the spot where the last two shots were fired, clean steady and precise, a piercing followed by a grunt of pain can be heard.

*BAnG*

A shot was fired behind me, but I shot forward, twisting midair to place two bullets at the place the shot fired from behind and a cry soon reached my ears.

*Thud*

I charged forward with the gun, but sensed four guards waiting for me alongside three of the scientists. The world around me slowed down as everywhere turned black... Then the soft ripples of grey shot through the world and four figures stood, aiming weapons at the door which I lean against.

*BAM!*

*BANG* ×12*

Slow mo, I kicked the doors wide and shot forward, dodging the first round of bullets before the next grazed me and then piercing my shoulder, but I unloaded like a madman on crack.

Blowing down the four within a single round, emptying my clip on the sorry asses before collapsing from my momentum. The world reverted back to it's ecstatic manner, leaving me on the bruised but living with three scientists.

*BANG ×2*

I mean one scientist.
