章節 4: Chapter 4- I Become The Enemy
*WE KNOW YOU'RE THERE VINCENT*
My heart skipped a beat, but I still had a chance, i furiously began attacking my keyboard, the dust flying off it. Eventually, another message pinged through.
*WHO'S MAKING YOU DO THIS*
Seeing the new message, I decided to interact.
*WHO'S THIS?*
*DESMOND RALEIGH*
*I WON'T HELP YOU- I CAN'T, THEY'LL KILL ME*
*WHO VINCENT?*
I noticed the approaching of armed men to my van and I clambered into the front seat, grasping the wheel with my hands, holding on for dear life, and firing up the engine, the van made it a few yards before the trees were blown out and it sunk onto the ground, leaving me stranded and at the mercy of the corps...
When I woke up, I looked around, completely black, there was something on my head, a blindfold. My throat was the Sahara and the pain moved like shockwaves through my body, my blades were gone, I couldn't feel them, and even the Neurotransmitters that enhance agility were gone too, probably why I was in so much pain, the surgeries. I fleeted between sleep and waking up and then gave myself up to the land of the dreams.
I woke up again to the sounds of footsteps and then an angry voice.
"Why have you blindfolded him? Why is he tied up?!" screamed the voice
Two gunshots were heard and the thud of bodies falling to the ground was audible, I'm sorry Vincent, or do you prefer J?
As the blindfold came off my head, I scanned the room for where I was, taking a moment to get used to the light, then I looked around more and found myself in a grey-walled room, it looked much like an infirmary.
Then I looked at the person standing next to me, he had long black hair, he had the traditional Japanese face, slightly paler than mine, his eyes a stern black mirroring my electric-like blue ones. He wore a white suit, with golden buttons lacing it, a faint memory penetrated my mind but it was gone as quick as it came, just a blurry image.
"J, you probably don't remember me, my name is Desmond Raleigh, I was the soldier that saved you that day, and now I am the head of the Chrono-corp."
"Look, we don't know each other, let's be honest, you never had to face the same shit I had to, so cut the bullshit and tell me what you need."
"I don't need anything, I have it all, but I want something J."
Burning with curiosity, I nodded at his words and moved my hands slightly to tell him to carry on.
"Look kid, I've seen the way you live, you have it pretty fucking bad, but I'm offering you a job, your just 15, but that could be of value to us, you can turn your life around, start again, we will give you money, more than you can imagine, what a standard Corp agent makes in a month you will make in a week!"
I chuckled in a slightly piss-taking manner, incredulous and angry at the same time, but then my eyes started to well up, the fatigue of the past 15 years caught up, never stopping, always running, getting beaten up, living on the streets, this guy is giving me the chance, the chance to turn this sorry life around, to rub it in the faces of the rich pissants who rule this country!
"Where were you, all this time?" I asked.
"I was so busy, so caught up in rising the ranks, I forgot all about you, in a way J, I owe you for saving my life too."
"I accept, I will join your ranks!"
With that great big cry, I fell back onto the infirmary bed, my eyes fighting to stay open, Desmond's face was visible over mine and I watched as he reached out his hands, running his hands through my hair and moving down to my eyes, sleep my boy, sleep. And with that, I felt my grip on the real world slip as I fell out of consciousness, my body falling through time, am I ordinary now?!
