"Kid , are you sure ? Are you sure there was the small glittering stone on top of the long rod?",asked Leo
"Yeah ......I looked at it closely....."
"Okay......",said Leo looking very concerned.
"Why dad? Is there something wrong with that?",asked Sam
"No John dear....it's not.....just try to stay out of the way of that thing .....might be pretty dangerous.....",said Leo smiling and looking at his son
"Dad.....it's seven minutes gone and three minutes togo before the guard comes back.",said Sam very sadly.
"Yes son, but we are gonna meet soon again....you could make friends with him and persuade him to bring you here some times,. Dear John...... You are the bravest boy I have ever known.....and I am proud of you son! I am! You waited for so many years...... We met again...... And I promise next time we are gonna go back to our old lives....it might not be the same as back then without Lily but it will be good.......we will have Marie too! Right?",said Leo with long tears escaping his eyes.
Marie nodded her head and said,"yes!",her eyes , like Leo and Sam's ,were streaming with tears.
"Dad I told you everything that happened with me since you left but dad! You told me about everything too....I think so....but you didn't tell me how you got these bruises! You didnt tell me they have been beating you!!",said Sam , standing up with rage.
"No son.....I told you about that escape plan,well....they have beaten me a couple of times since then. Don't worry it doesn't hurt a bit my son! Its only bruises ! Remember what we used to tell when you were four? That I am a hippo and you a tiger? So be a tiger! And I be the hippo ! And hippos have thick n strong skin! So it won't -
"Dad!", interrupted Sam , "I am not a child anymore nor am I foolish!"
"Alright it hurts a bit. But son! You can't go there and yell at the guards for beating me! They will doubt you! And Ronald will know that you and I have something!"
"Alright dad! I will....I will stop Ronald even if it requires my life ! And I will make him pay for everything he has done to you!"
"Go on son. I think ten minutes are over....The guard might be here any moment , so let's not be holding hands . And I would give anything for this moment to stop for ever and I get to cherish every single thing about you! But time can be curse some times and can take advantage of the victims..... So listen, dont try to do everything to stop him....just try and if it goes out of hand ,then I and Marie will have to do something about it. You try and be safe!",said Leo standing up with Sam.
"You will try to stop him by sitting in this room? I got this dad. I will try and come tomorrow again. It needs a plan. A complete good one! You all have time.....think and think and I will come back tomorrow.", said Sam , walking towards the door,"I will miss you dad and you too sista...."
"Miss you too",said Marie silently still crying.
"I am proud of you son! I will live you forever.", said Leo, watching his son go out of the room wiping his tears.
"You were so strong infront of him Mr. Leo!",said marie patting him on the back while leo cried like a baby into Marie's shoulder.
"Lily is de-dead!",he whimpered and cried shaking his whole body.
"It's alright Leo! You have got Sam .....or John ....."
"Lily! I loved her so much! How can I live without her?! Oww! My leg! "
Leo squatted down and pulled his pants up and looked at his swollen knee,
"it hurts so much Marie! How could I say this infront of him? He would be devastated to see his dad in this state. I am his only support! I need to be strong infront of him......"
"Yes you do Leo! And you already are strong enough",said Marie smiling,"you didn't lose your sanity here in this horrific place where you were held for years!"
Leo chuckled and said," I lived with the hope of seeing Lily and John again... I had to be in my right mind"
Then again there was a disturbance at the door and they heard ,"lunch!",and two plates being slided in the floor into the room with their food,which was their regular meal.
While Sam was there with Ronald dealing another problem.
"What is so special about that rod you were asking about to Sam?",asked Marie"That thing.....is called The Killer Transport.",said Leo"Sounds dangerous....",said Marie uncertainly."It is , it is ....""What does it do?"" Well....it's hard to explain..... I thought it had perished with time, but it is here..... in this building....... I never wanted to be even little close to that thing....",said Leo looking at his hands"What is it Leo ?",asked Marie ,her breathing rate increasing."If provoked,that thing can destroy half the earth .",said Leo grimly," And I suppose you can make out how dangerous that vaccine might be , that Ronald had to summon the killer transport.""Where does this transport you? How does it kill you?",asked Marie questionably."It burns the hell out of you.......It turns your body into a mere skeleton within seconds, if only they know how to use it. And I don't think those idiots know how to.""And
Sam looked at the door . It was a super thick metal Door.Patrick came from behind and said,"Go on open it and go inside"Sam opened the door and was shocked at what he saw . It was the biggest room he had ever seen. Only ,it wasn't really a room. After a distance of ten meters. A transparent glass was placed. And beyond it was a very huge area with no escape. Sam spotted Smith and Ronald and other men talking and spreading the items from a box across the room."Oh hey Sam! Come here!",called out Ronald to Sam while he was talking to Smith ."This is the place where all the experiments and every activity related to our mission will take place. This glass here you see. This the strongest glass you can find! Unbreakable and bullet proof ofcourse. The place beyond the glass in where the thing we are testing on,is to be placed. So , we have no worries about what might happen t
FIRE!",shouted one of the guards and they all started shooting at the infected dog. All the ten men, shooting from their big guns. As the first bullets from each gun hit the dog,ten bullets, the dog fell on the ground and started whimpering."That's not possible!",shouted Smith,"That dog just survived ten bullets! And one is enough to kill them, and he is still alive!"The dog growled and tried to get up. All of them shot again,at the same time , and the dog fell on the ground and , his breathing heavy and ragged.Ronald,Smith, Sam and the all the others stared at the creation of Ronald with fear. Threatening fear."Kill it already!",shouted Ronald."No!", shouted one of the doctors," We need it alive! We need to run some tests on it! Alive!""No! Just finish it!",shouted Ronald.And all the guards shooted again, at the same moment.This tim
So I am glad that nothing happened to any of us that day. Mr. Kush here will take the dog's body and he will try some experiments on it and check. We can consider it a success then. I will try and make some changes on the vaccine so that it doesnt affect anyone so hard", said Mr. Ronald, "So here in Ronald labs we have had a success so a toast to that".All the men wearing black coats including Sam held up their glasses as did Ronald , cheerfully.Smith didn't look in a very good mood. As everyone went back to their talks and chats. Smith waved at Ronald and called Ronald near him . Sam noticed Ronald and Smith about to talk and that looked pretty important so Sam decided to eavesdrop and he went near them , without them noticing. Ronald went there and handed him a glass of champagne and Smith thanked him and took it"Ronald, you told me that whatever you had planned it was not dangerous. You had told me! And what I saw yesterday's
"Good morning chap", said Patrick waving his hand at Sam at a distance."Hey",said Sam , half heartedly,entering the Ronald Labs with iced coffee in his hand and a case in another.The sun was shining extra bright. And Sam was more gloomy than usual. He entered the building named " Ronald Labs" and put himself into the elevator. Something seemed off to Sam. But he thought it was just another morning with another gloomy day full of work.And then it happened, a yellow flash infront of Sam's eyes and then gone. And Sam found himself at the Lab's gate, facing Patrick."Good morning chap",said Patrick waving his hand at Sam at a distance ." Hey", said Sam with surprise , he was holding cappuccino in his hand and his files in the other." Didn't we just meet?",asked Sam, and took a sip of his cappuccino."No man....I just saw you",answered Patrick, bewil
Sam woke up and found himself bound in his chair. The last thing he remembered was going to Mr. Ronald for help and being hit by him after explaining his eyes. He looked around and saw blue lights everywhere and found himself in a circular room."Where am I?!", Sam shouted ,looking at a camera on the left wall.The door opened and Ronald came inside."Well well well....look at you Sam.....you have grown up so much.....and you have learnt an art..... I promise to let you go back to our normal life ...only if you tell me how to do that",said Ronald , sitting down."What are you talking about Dr. Ronald?""Oh well....you don't know, the problem you were facing ....is actually a gift...a power....from an unknown source...but worry not ,I am going to test you and experiment it on you and get as much info I can get about time travelling from your body....You can actually will yourself to change time or reverse it .
Sam sat there in his office tending his wound in his shoulder that had been caused by Ronald's knife in the other changed time. The yellow flash that kept hitting Sam everywhere had stopped. To him, it seemed that he had learnt to control that thing.Sam knew that he needed help with that abnormality, but he knew no source that could provide him any help. He knew what would happen if he went to Ronald , he had taken that chance already. Now, he could go to his father. That was the only safe chance he knew. So he continued.... He had pulled out the knife out of his shoulder and put it on his desk but the knife disappeared in a smoke. That was Ronald's knife and as the time Sam had changed, it had certainly gone back to its owner, as if it never left. As to the wound , it was deep , but somehow the pain was fading away as the minutes slipped out of his hands.The blood on his shirt could be a bait to questions , so he decided to change it. And he did. With the spare
Mr. Bolan Smith was eating pizza from a box when Sam knocked at the door."Come in", said Smith , cleaning up the mess on his table with a quick messy shot.Sam entered the room and sat down on the chair opposite to Smith, without being asked to." Sam! To what do I the pleasure?",said Smith , wiping his mouth with a tissue."Well... umm.... Mr. Smith....I needed a help...from you"Smith frowned and then asked ," What is it kid?"Sam looked at him and said ," But I need you to promise me something....please donot mention this to Mr. Ronald, otherwise you and I , will both be in trouble"Smith nodded his head and said," Yes I am ...well....good at keeping secrets.... especially from Ronald"Sam said," look Mr. Smith he, Rona
"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.
