บท 2: DESMOND'S SIN
Desmond's eyes slowly opened as he laid on the bed waking up from his sleep.
Desmond: [In a tired voice] *sigh it was just a dream huh ? It was a nightmare and a sweet one too.
He stood up from his bed and stretched himself like his been locked up in a tiny bed cage for years .He then went straight to the bathroom washed his face, brushed his teeth, took a warm bath and put on his hard uniform.
Desmond: All right ready for work. [something instantly appeared to him and he asked himself] wait, what am I doing? How can I go to work after what happened yesterday?
*knock knock, he heard a knock on the door at the hall and rushed to check it out. He immediately stopped as he drew near the door.
Desmond: What am I doing? It could be that they are here to arrest me for what I did yesterday.No I can't let them noe am around but what should I do ?
"knock knock knock, the door was knocked again and this time along with a voice, "are you in there sir"
Desmond: [wh... who is it? [he asked Iike a frightened rabbit ]
???: It's Calvin bro.
Desmond: What do you want ?
Calvin: Why aren't you my friend anymore? Come I just came to check on you if you are okay .
Desmond: [even though he was soaked in fear but still carefully opened the door]
Calvin: What's going on sir for the past two weeks you haven't reported to work.
Desmond: What are you talking about? I just slept yesterday and woke up today. Wasn't it yesterday that Prof. Issac retired ?
Calvin: For how long have you been living in your tales sir ? [stretching out his phone showing Desmond the current date]
Desmond: [He spoke to himself in his mind] Is this for real ? But how ...
Calvin: You've forgotten to close your mouth sir. [Desmond woke up from his lost position] Is everything alright?
Desmond: Aa... Everything is cool , don't worry. I'll be there with you.
He shuts the door at Calvin with a fake smile and chuckle on his face . While Calvin turned away he said to himself.
Calvin: There really is something wrong with him.
Desmond learned against the door and took a deep breath with thoughts wondering about his mind .
Desmond: I don't believe this. How could I have slept for two weeks without wake. No, this must be a trap to arrest me for what I did . [ He then rushed to his room and graped his phone. Checking the date he was astonished to his sight that it matched to Calvin's] What ! [He said aloud in fright] What's happening to me!!
???: Have you always been this hopeless?
Desmond traced the familiar voice above him and there was a young man with a golden ring above his head with his body glowing while he floated in the air.
Desmond: It's... it's you, from my dream.
???: Yes it is. Are you surprised to see me here ? [It was Gabriel]
Desmond: Do you want to tell me everything I saw before wasn't a dream?
Gabriel : Do you think God is a fake? If he is then I am too.
Desmond:...
Gabriel: OF CAUSE IT IS YOU DUMMY!!
Desmond: [ To himself] Now I have an angel in my house to insult me.
Gabriel: *a deep breath, Look kid, I've been stuck with you as my master from today until all this is over. I've been the messenger of God of long and this hasn't happened before.I was chosen amongst the squad assist you.
Desmond: The squad?
Gabriel: Do you recall the Lord say he was going to assign some angels to be with you and the others?
Desmond: [In doubts] I guess , in that dream I had before.
Gabriel: IT'S NOT A DREAM YOU TWIT!
Desmond: Are you really and angel ?
Gabriel :What do I look like to you? Well for your information I'll be with you wherever you go.
Desmond: Wherever I go ? Wait, you mean to the office?
Gabriel: Yeap
Desmond: To parties ?
Gabriel: To parties
Desmond: To...the ... bathroom?
Gabriel: [Nodding a yes] Mmhmmm
Desmond grabbed him by his collar and dragged him close to his face with a serious stare
Desmond: Listen angel , you can do all you want but note one thing, stay out of my privacy.
*Poof..., Gabriel disappeared from the grip and Desmond search confusingly search for h find a copy of himself in a police uniform with a half eaten apple in his hand mimicking what Desmond had said. Then he concluded it by saying, ``have you forgotten that we are late?
Desmond: I don't think I can go.
Gabriel: Why? [Pop..., returning back to his normal form ]
Desmond: Must I tell you again?
Gabriel: Oh I see , listen kid, just leave your life as normal as always.
Desmond: What do you mean?
Gabriel: Nothing ever happened.
Desmond: Now he's asking me to give myself out.
Gabriel: Wasn't it your wish to die ?
Desmond: So what if it was .
Gabriel: [Hitting his palm against his forehead] Oh my, this kid is such a pain
Desmond: Who's the pain?
Gabriel:You course
Desmond: No, you are
The two argued until their faces were close to each other staring in the eyes.
Gabriel: [ He moved back and then spoke in a calm voice] Listen, you are the young man who graduated from the police academy five months ago and got a job six weeks ago. That's your legacy nothing more.
Desmond: How about the two weeks I was asleep?
Gabriel: Forget about all that and listen to me.
Desmond [To himself] now he looks serious, [the he said to Gabriel] understood.
Gabriel: Your family died in a mysterious incident no one knows about . Not even the media.Desmond , you haven't done anything , put this in your head.
Desmond: So you are saying nothing abnormal ever happened ?
Gabriel's eyes popped out as if they were jellies with his disappointed mouth widely opened as if he had seen a ghost.
Desmond: Okay if what you are saying is the truth then , I want to make a better version of myself.
He quickly dressed up and left for work. He later on arrived Infront of a very big story building of about five stories make up with a glass door at the entrance.It also had some other countries' flags planted outside it with the huge written label which says, "Grand Rapids Police Département". The young man came out of the back seat of the Tacoma pickup as the door was opened by a police officer who saluted after Desmond had gotten off. Two other police officers happened to be sitting at the receptions seat as he walked in. The pit on their caps, stood up and saluted him as the saw him approaching. *Poof..., Gabriel appeared behind Desmond as on of the officers continued.
Police 1: We are very happy to see you today sir.
Gabriel: It's a pleasure.
Desmond: [To Gabriel] shut up.
Police 1: So... sorry sir, I didn't mean to offend you.
Desmond: No..., it's not you, just talking to my conscience.
Police 1: Oh..., right
Desmond: So where's everyone?
Police 1: They are in the conference room waiting for you sir.
Gabriel: I'm still curious about how you earned this sir title.
Desmond: I'll rip your mouth out of your face if you don't stop messing around.
Police 1: [Sweat run down his head in fright] Huh ?
Desmond: [Smiling back at the man] Oh I'm sorry. Please get back to work
He took the way upstairs into a very huge room. Inside it was very dark with a projection of work on the wall with a number of police officers.They all stood up and saluted him as he took his seat.Then Calvin took the floor standing mixed up in the projection on the wall.
Calvin: I hope we all know the reason we've all been assembled here for.There've been a lot of mysteries occuring lately that terrifies us every single day. No one has been able to explain to us What exactly is happening, not even scientists or religious leaders. [The projection switched to a video of a man continuously jumping from a high rise without dying] As we can all see from this video, a young man stood on top of The Regional Hospital which is about hundred feet tall, severally jumped yet never died.(Desmond's heart started to pound as if a door is being knocked hard)
Gabriel: Cool down kid, just have faith
Calvin: We've been trying as much as possible with all agencies and experts around the world to get a clear view of it but all attempts failed.But that doesn't mean we've given up.The investigation still continues until we're able to find out who the culprit is. This is a serious case. Not only had he attempted murder but he had innocent people killed along the act.It doesn't matter who or what it is, he murdered citizens of this country.
Desmond: [He started to murmur things in his head] That's true, I killed people that day I remember.
Calvin: And when we find out who it was, we have no option than to eliminate him.
Desmond: [Looking down and speaking in low tune] The culprit shall be eliminated huh ? [Forgetting about the mini microphone attached to his uniform which drew everyone's attention] It's not like it was a mistake. Trying to commit suicide and end up murdering others instead. I should be guilty for my crime. Yes, It's the right thing to do. I should give my...
Gabriel: DESMOND...
Desmond : Huh...(Waking up from his daydream)
Calvin: It seem like you have something to say sir .
Gabriel:You did nothing wrong . Don't let yourself down.
Desmond:Aaa n...no there's nothing. You m...may proceed.
Calvin:Okay , Now we have had a number of meetings with our allies from other nations in order to create a very strong and powerful army to fight against this nightmare. We promise to devote our lives to protecting this world from chaos and destruction. We are broadcasting this live to make you aware of our efforts (People around the world sat at various places and watching the news) .It doesn't matter what we are facing.We all know that if something is not done about it then it means the end of the world so I promise to snatch back your freedom once again forever.Now who's with me (Raising up his closed fist in the air )
People started to cheer along with the police force in support of Calvin's speech.
Calvin: What do you say captain ? (He sat down without uttering a word for a while and finally came to agree with his mind).
Desmond:I'm quitting my job. (The whole world because a cemetery to his words )
Calvin:What are you saying captain, at this very moment the world needs you and...
Desmond: Let the heavens fight for us.( He stood up and left the room with a finishing statement) All they need is your prayers.
Calvin: Sir... (The young man showed no reaction to the call)
This left the whole world in a great shock. The one everyone were looking up to has turned them down.This was something the whole world could not understand. Why would their hero take such a decision.A lot but few insulted his decision at difficult times.
Few minutes later they arrived back home where Desmond when straight to the kitchen and took a number of well packaged chips, switched off the lights and sat next to the television watching the incident continuously taking place.
Desmond: I want to be alone (to the concerned angel)
Gabriel: I'm afraid I can't.
Desmond: And why is that I thought I was your master.
Gabriel: Not until you behave as such.
Desmond: Do what you like.( The angel started to marmer questions in his head)
Gabriel:What's with this guy anyway. His mood swings easily. And his very difficult to understand.Well I guess I will need something alone myself so... (He disappeares as Desmond sits still with the food stack in his face and drowned in the news.)
Soon the night came and the noise in the city has reduced.The sky was dark and the full moon has displayed its light to overcome the furious dark. Gabriel has been sitting on the roof and watching around whiles Desmond on the other hand also made no move yet. He has conquered several packs with one still in hand until the final news hit him hard in the face. A man walked into a house and massacred the whole family and started to eat the flesh of the people. This drives the young man crazy and he held his head stood and started to scream in pain.
Desmond: No no no NO! I can't take it anymore. GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Gabriel: (Unaware of what was happening) It's been five hours and he hasn't call me. What actually is he thinking about ? *Sigh..
What! There is something coming towards here. No they are they are four of them. All from different directions but towards one direction, here. I have to warn Desmond.
The young man was still in screaming and destroying his room unconsciously.
Desmond: Graaaaaaaaaaah!
Just then a strange creature looking more like a human but with red glowing eyes and very sharp though claws broke in through the wall with a surprise attack of which Desmond blocked by crossing his arms. He slowly raised up his face looking the monster in the eye as the glew blue with a glass like glowing light that covered his arms and that was when Gabriel came in.
Gabriel : DESMOND THERE'S... No!
Just then another one broke in from behind with an attack of which he blocked by taking off one and and holding the cluntched fist of the surprisingly something got holy of his legs preventing him from moving whiles another broke in from above.
Gabriel: Oh dear what should I do ?
Desmond's eyes started to emit blue light and he jumped a bit and landed hard on the demonized human, broke the arm of the one at the right, grabbed the one on the left with his two hands dragged him diagonally and walloped the one above him so hard that his fall created cracks on the wall.
Desmond: *deep breathing, what's happened to me.
He felt dizzy and fell to the ground whiles his sight went blur. He saw someone run towards him but could not tell who it was before he went unconscious. The next morning he found himself lying on a hospital bed and at left side next to the window was a gentleman in a track suit with glasses consumed by the daily graphic in his hand.
Desmond: Where am I ?
???: (In a familiar voice) Can you tell by observing?
Desmond: I know it's you.
Gabriel: That doesn't matter for now.
Just then a young lady in a doctor uniform came in. Desmond looked at her as if he knew her from somewhere.
Gabriel: This young lady arrived immediately after you passed out. She could see me so I had no doubt that she was a special being.
Desmond: Y...you
???: Did you know you could have gotten killed. So reckless as always.
Desmond: But here I am still alive.
???: Oh yeah, if you died would you have gotten the guts to spit nonsense again.
Gabriel: That's rude you know.
???: And you, what are you doing that's making him lack behind. You two will have to do some fast about it before we kick you out of the team.
Desmond: The...team.
???: Where have you been for the past two weeks? Everyone is suffering because of us can't you see ?
Desmond: What do you mean by the team ?
Tracy: Do you remember the guy who held you to bow before your Lord two weeks back ago.
Desmond: Yeah, just that I never got to see his face.
Tracy: He has gathered everyone under one roof three days after our return from heaven and we have started taking care of the small fries before the demons themselves arrive. But then it seems like our help is useless but I don't think we'll have to give up on the Lord like that.
Desmond: What do you mean by useless ?
Tracy: Have you always been this dumb?
Gabriel : I've asked him before.
Tracy: Come with me.
She left the room as the two followed from behind until they finally stopped before the entrance of a room where there were a lot of patience been attended to by the nurse out of which some have lost part of their bodies and others sevierly injured. The include men, women and children.
Tracy: These are some of the people we have saved. The devil excludes nothing in his work. Being it an animal, humans, Plant he just never cares.He will do what ever it takes to get what what they want. Even if it means eliminating God. That's just what he is. We have been trying and failing. And you on the other hand doesn't even know how to trigger your powers.
Gabriel: Actually he's been asleep for two weeks.
Tracy: In a time like this and you've turned yourself to a sleeping beauty.
They moved to the next room where an operation was being made and within some few moments later the monitor indicated that there was no more life left in the patient and anangel appeared in the form of light and took took out the soul of the patient.
Desmond: Don't tell me that's...
Tracy:The angel of death yes. ( He disappeared with the soul) He's been here almost everyday taking souls of people because of our faliure. We need a whole team to do this and you are the last of us. We can also terminate from the list if you are not interested we need to be in a hurry. We are dealing with the princes of hell and they are one crazy group out of the number. Tell me now Desmond are you still deciding on what to do or you have decided.
Desmond:...
Tracy: People are dying everyday, and you think you have the whole day to decide on what to do .
Desmond: I'll see you later (He turned and started to walk away as Gabriel followed him from behind).
Just then a very beautiful angel appeared floating above Tracy.
Tracy: So what do you think Raphael ? (Referring to the angel)
Raphael: We just need to give him some time. He never makes wrong decision.
Tracy: I can't believe you are saying this.
