*13 years ago in New Jersey *
A 12 year old boy was cowering against the wall.
"Please",he whispered sobbing ,"Please don't kill me"
"What is your name?",asked a man standing in the dark.
"My name is Oliver Lester",said the young boy , sobbing
"Do you know who I am?",asked the man.
"N-no",replied the boy.
"My name is Alex",said the man,"Tell me more about yourself"
"N-no.....I -I won't",said the boy crying.
The man coughed and said,"Will you answer me , or should I call sir and he will nicely get the answers out of you?"
"My-my mother died last year, my- my father left me. I have a brother, he is twenty years old. He works at a cafè , he will give you whatever you want, plea
*In Sam's office *There was a knock at the door.Sam quickly pulled the plugs of the computer and hid his tab and said , "COME IN!"It was Ronald. Ronald came in and said,"I wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but I heard you talking to someone.....were you talking to someone?""N-no sir!",said Sam,"I was whispering to myself""Oh... didn't seem like it",said Ronald,Sam didn't reply."Nevermind, did your cousin leave?""Yes", replied Sam,"He left""Ah...He was a nice guy!",said Ronald smiling.Sam nodded weakly and Ronald said,"Okay, Sam, have you done the file work signing and all that I gave you ?"Sam nodded again and went to fetch the files and handed them to Ronald.
Sam and Oliver reached home, Sam held Oliver carefully as Oliver puked in the toilet."That drink was sooo shitty!",shrieked Oliver"Oliver, it's okay! You are just.....drunk...",said Sam"Why did you let me drink then?!",cried Oliver."Nevermind, just let me put you in bed.",said Sam, carrying Oliver to the next room and Oliver slumped down on the bed.Sam turned to leave, but then stopped. He went next to Oliver and said,"Oliver? Are you awake?"Oliver said,"Hmmm""Hey, do you mind telling me why you behaved so strangely over there when you saw Ronald?",asked Sam.Oliver muttered something that Sam could not catch and then he said,"I knew him as Alex, he - he was an evil chemist then too....I was twelve, I had lost both my parents, I had an elder brother. Those guys had kidnapped me..... They wanted to test some sort of memory losing gas on me....
Sam took out his ID and put it infront of the scanner."Access granted Sam Elliott", a voice said , and the door to the big lab opened.Sam went inside and the door closed behind him.Sam gasped. There were some creatures behind the glass wall. They looked really scary. Sam gulped , he turned around and saw that the gate was closed behind him. He wanted to leave the lab right then. But, he had a job. He needed to get a sample of the serum."Hi Sam",said Dr. Kush, measuring some liquid in a test tube."Hi.... Dr....?""Kush, Dr. Kush",said Dr. Kush, turning around."Ah! Indian?",asked Sam cheerfully, he liked India, he had always wanted to visit that country."Yes",said Dr. Kush smiling."Ummm....C
When Sam and Oliver saw Diana, instead of asking ,'how did you find us?' or 'why are you here?' .They asked her, "What happened to your head?!"Diana simply put her hand on her forehead which was bleeding severely and said ,"Oh! That's nothing ,I fell down"Sam frowned and said," Fell down where?"Diana said ,"I fell down .......I fell down in the stairs"Oliver said,"come in Diana!"Sam held the door open and said,"Come in!"Diana went inside and Sam said,"sit on the couch let me get some antiseptic cream"Oliver nodded and went along with Sam.They came back with the cream."So how did you find us?",asked Oliver."Umm...Bolan told me!",said Diana."Oh! He sent you here?",asked SamDiana shook her head and said,"No..... I came here by myself....I wanted to see you guys"
"What's the matter?", asked Oliver as they went to Sam's room."Look.......some minutes ago ,you told me that you didn't trust Diana so you were not gonna tell her about our work, and now infront of her you said that you weren't telling her because you wanted protect her ! Which one is it?!",asked Sam trying to keep his voice downOliver looked uncertain and then replied,"Both""Both?""Yes both! I want to protect Diana! All those years we have worked together, she is like a sister to me! And at the same time...now, I am having a certain feeling about not trusting her...... I don't know!",said Oliver frustratinglySam looked at Oliver worriedly and said,"Why don't you just tell her?!""I- I don't want to!",said Oliver and left the room.
The night was quiet and Sam sat there staring out of the window. It was 3:30 and a candle was burning brightly on the study table and Diana's diary was lying open beside it.Sam felt betrayed. He trusted Diana so much, Oliver trusted her and Diana betrayed them......Not for once she mentioned that she was the daughter of Ronald. Sam didn't want to believe that Diana had lied to them but it was all there in the diary and Sam felt stupid for he never noticed that Ronald's surname and Diana's were the same. He had read Ronald's name so many times and he had heard the Diana say her name, Diana Ross so many times but he never ever even thought that she would turn out to be his daughter. Sam felt angry as well as surprise, he didn't know if he wanted to tell Oliver or not . Oliver had just started trusting Diana and Diana she looked so faultless and how could she ever lie looking into Sam and oliver's eyes. A single tear dropped from Sam's left eye. He thought they
Sam knocked and Oliver opened the door."Hey Sam.... didn't you leave ...like fifteen minutes ago?",asked Oliver"Oh yes....I wasn't feeling well so I came here",said Sam"Oh",said Oliver opening the door wider,"Diana is sleeping too....she said she couldn't sleep last night"Sam entered and his face grew red and he said,"Maybe she was awake all night giving news to her dear father Ronald!""What are you talking about Sam?",asked Oliver closing the door and turning around."Ronald is Diana's father",stated SamOliver laughed and said,"Come on that's insane, what are you talking about?!""What's Diana's full name?", asked Sam seriously"Di
It was written, ' Hi Diary ! This is Diana Ross. Today I got a job at a big secret lab. I don't think I want to accept it. But I have no other option....I am a bio-engineer, and some man named William Smith wants to take me and a boy named Oliver Lester to work for him in his lab. It's named S.T.A.R Labs, I think I will say yes to him. Afterall I have no other job and......no relative... Bye diary.'Sam sighed and closed the diary for the third time. He was sitting in his room, with a burning candle infront of him and in his hands was the diary of Diana. He kept reading it to find some clue about how she got to know that her father is alive.Sam turned the next page and took it near the flames and the words became clear and Sam started reading again.'Hi diary. I accepted Mr. William's offer. I am going to work for him in the S.T.A.R Labs,
"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.
