"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 Leo
Leo looked questionably at Lily but she shrugged at him.
"He
Mr. Ronald is very very tired after a long day....Yeah you would be if you too were making a vaccine.... A cage of rats was there near his notebooks. He was just yawning when he heard a knock on his door.'Come in' , he shouted grumpilyA young lady with a ponytail carrying several files entered the lab.'Oh Miss Marie ,what a pleasant surprise!',he commented'Good afternoon sir I just wanted to inform you about the meeting . Mr. Leo has just landed in an emergency flight here and he says he wants to meet you and he is quite in a hurry!',said Miss Marie'Alright alright lead me where he is waiting',he saidMiss Marie's led him into an airy room with lavishly decorated chairs and sofas.Marie looked at an aged person and said ,'Mr. Ronald is here sir '.And left without another word with one last bow.'Ah Mr. Ronald you must be knowing why I came
Mr. Ronald has not grown much in these 5 years. He has just grown a small beard,which is stylish and sort of suits him. He is again sitting in his lab with a crate full of new rats as the old ones have been wasted. A couple of notebooks are there . He is experimenting something and writing it in his notebook from time to time .The sun is setting low and a few birds are there to be seen. The sky is orange with a tinge of blue in it. It looks beautiful but Mr. Ronald is quite busy to look at such 'nonsense' (for him it is).A loud knocking noise was coming from the other room.'KEEP HIM QUITE YOU IDIOTS!I DONT PAY YOU ALL TO STAND LIKE FOOLS OVER THERE !',shouted Mr. Ronald ,it annoyed him when anything interrupted his work. A loud WHAM is heard and then everything goes back quiet. Though the sound was being made by none other than Mr. Leo. Yeah....he's still alive if that's what you are thinking. He is alive but not quite in the right state of mind. Ofcourse one wouldn't be
Mr. Leo didn't know how to react ...Mr. Ronald was standing infront of him with an injection.' Donot be afraid dear,I have tried this on the rats they are well and alive . Just want to check if it's same with humans or not!',said Mr. Ronald with an evil grin'No',whispered Mr. Leo'Pardon',said Mr. Ronald his voice echoing dangerously.'I won't allow you to test it on me,this is want I want to say and it seems you are having a problem in hearing problem you will do well if you prepared a vaccine for your ear as well ',Mr. Leo said and snorted.'Ha! Not lost your humour I see Mr . Leo',said Mr. Ronald his eyes glinting'And I won't even lose my life for you,mark my words!',growled Mr. Leo'May I know the reason behind such confidence?',asked Mr. Ronald with his eyebrow raised .'You coward will never get it !' ,Mr. Leo sa
Mr. Ronald burst into his lab to find Miss Marie looking for something in his files,he locked the door behind him with his finger print."May I ask what you are doing here in my lab?""Ugh...sir.....nothing....I was just looking around..",said Miss Marie awkwardly"I dont think so",said Mr. Ronald suspiciously. And he walked closer to Marie." What has happened? Do you need something?""No no no I am fine sir !..",said Marie hurriedly."Alright then let's have a cup of tea then!", offered Mr. Ronald"I am really sorry to decline your offer sir but I have some work ...if you could just excuse me..." , said Marie uncomfortably." But what work do you have now?",he asked, coming more closer to Marie."Some files are left to be signed and I have to prepare the presentation for the meeting tomorrow",said Marie,"Shall I go now'?""I don't think so dear",Mr. Ronald said with a smirk now very close to Marie" Sir what are y
" Wow dad what is it?!",asked the small boy, John to his father."Oh my son is those are lilies", answered Leo,chuckling at his son's amusement." But my mother's name is Lily!", said John bewildered"Yes my boy , her name has come from this flower itself",said Leo"You know dad I love you and mom very much!",said the seven year old John ,looking up at his father's face."We love you too my boy... We love you very much too", answered Leo kneeling down and hugging his son."Leo! Mr. Leo!",shouted Marie sitting opposite to LeoLeo came back to his senses. He had been missing his son and he was having visions of the moments he and his son, John had spent together."I saw you crying in your sleep so I woke you up..." ,said Marie"That's okay Miss Marie but what are you doing here?", asked Mr. Leo confused"Well...I got caught...while getting those papers you asked for..", answered Marie shamefully.Mr. Leo laid
It was a cold night and Marie was returning from work . It had been a busy month,she was busy thinking about the man Ronald had captured in the room eight months ago. She had heard that man , Leo ,say that whatever vaccine Ronald was making was going to affect the whole world. But, ofcourse, Mr. Ronald had told her not to believe in those made up stories and that he had captured Leo there so that he couldnot go around spreading rumours about Ronald's work. Marie quite believed him,but she was a sincere assistant and she didnot want to get involved in any bad work if Ronald was doing any such thing.As she was crossing the road she stumbled upon a teenage boy."Oh I am so sorry!!", exclaimed Marie"It's okay ,it's okay",said the young boyMarie noticed he was crying"I am sorry, is something wrong?",asked Marie , suddenly concerned."No I am alright", said the boy as more tears poured down his face.Marie having a goo
"Are you sure this is gonna work?", asked Marie"Positive",said Leo"Why didn't you try this before?",she asked"Blimey girl! I was alone all these times! whom do you expect to shout out to them while I act dead?!", said Leo staring at her."Oh! Sorry sorry! My bad...",said Marie nervously looking down at her shoes,"Okay so.....I will shout now?""No wait,let us go through our plan once again because when you are nervous you are more prone to making dangerous mistakes and this is going to be our last chance",said Leo" It is almost midnight I think ",he said looking out of the window,"So you repeat now what have I told you?""Okay ..... You will lie down here and act dead and I will shout on top of my voice that 'Mr. Leo is dead!' when the guards will come in I will try to sneak out while you are going to try and tackle them..... But how will you do it?" , asked Marie"I am sure only 2 guards will come in as it is midnight .I might need help
Marie didn't run instantly , she stood there staring at Mr. Leo."Run!",shouted Leo againMarie nodded and scrambled out of the room.She was running and she knew exactly where she was going . She took the stairs down and knew there were no guards where she was going and after a couple of minutes she was out of the building .On the road she felt so good that for a slight moment a thought came to her mind that she could go back home and not return to Leo,but she knew she couldn't do it.She ran back home. She felt like a child going home after a long day at school. It was late night as few people were there on the road. She ran as the cool wind blew on her face making her cheeks cold. She reached home and banged at her house's gate.'Sam might be sleeping',she thought. So she banged again.She heard footsteps and faced the door straight. Sam opened the door his hair was ruffled and his eyes and face resembled he might have been sleeping ."Marie!"
"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.
