The Future: Part 7: Ready? Ready?

Part 7: Ready? Ready?

The patient in the Podium received his medical treatment for the after-procedure.[1]  The Doctor observed his patient from the monitor hoping for something to turn up.

     “How’s patient Zero? Any progress at all Doctor?”, the Councilor asked.

     “Nothing much mister Councilor. His vital signs however shows much progress. He will come to after enough rest.”, said the Doctor as the Councilor leaves the monitor room.

Rows of canisters were stored in the Cold Storage Room with a label on it, Perfect Solution. The Doctor ordered his staff to handle with care when moving the Perfect Solution to another facility. Elsewhere in the Podium, numerous numbers of people in what it seemed to be a prison cell shouting and screaming begging for help and a need to contact the outside world.

     “Please, let me out! Please!”, said one female prisoner who seems to be around her 20s.

     Another individual, a young boy sits quietly in a corner of the prison cell while glaring at the prison guards. His prison cell door there is written as SABRE.[2]  The guards provoked the the boy by knocking on his cell door and calling him names.

     “You filthy Natural. All of you are God’s mistake.”, said one prison guard who seemed to be unease with the presence of the Natural.

     “Leave the kid, he’s not a threat.”, said his partner. The guards then continue with their patrol route around the prison building.

     The young boy imprisoned there starts drawing sketches of random drawings as soon as the guards left the premise of his cell.

     “I’ll escape this place soon.”, thought the young boy.

In the hospital, Kim Young has been discharged from the hospital for her full recovery and she was persistent about it. She caused many problems for the hospital staff members. She was itching for some action and being in the hospital doesn’t help one bit. Outside of the hospital was Nuway Irons who had been waiting for his partner since morning.

     “Aww.. You didn’t have to come to pick me up. I could’ve taken a cab.”, said Young.

     “Just be happy that I’m here. Not like you got anyone else in this city, do you?, Nuway replied back.

     “So, are we gonna catch some bad guys today?”, asked Young.

     “I finally got a lead on Nemesis. Had a little setback as well when you were in the hospital but it’s all good now partner.”, said Nuway.

     “Good to hear. Now let’s go catch this asshole for what he did to me. Nothing personal but I’m gonna break his bones.”, said Young. (It was personal actually)

     “He has been going in and out of the Roesman building these past few weeks.”, said Nuway as he explains furthermore into detail in the car as he drives off to the Roesman building.

     The duo found their calling to once and for all catch Nemesis before he could cause any more harm on others. Once they reached the Roesman building, the presented themselves as officers of the New KL department. Nuway showed a picture of Nemesis at the receptionist, “Has this guy been here lately?”

     The receptionist replied with a simple “Yes.” and Young proceed to explain how dangerous Nemesis was. The receptionist understood the gist of it and soon gave them what they needed, including which of the offices Nemesis would probably be in.

     “I don’t know much but the director seems different when those two came in.”, said the receptionist.

     “Those two? He’s not alone?”, asked Nuway.

     The receptionist nodded in agreement, “This Nemesis was with another guy, probably a teenager.”

     Both officers thanked the receptionist for her help but it was high time they went up to stop this maniac.

     “Are you ready partner?”, asked Nuway.

     “Ever-ready. Once we take this guy out, the streets are safe, right?”, Young answered.

     “It will be.”

The officers prepared their arsenal as the lift makes it way up to the designated floor. It was a tall building, so they had enough time to make a few preparations. They were prepared for all kinds of scenario even the bad ones. Nuway with his shotgun and Young with her handgun exited the lift but to their surprised it was silent. It was as if no soul were to be found on the floor.

     “This is strange. It’s too quiet.”, said Young while being cautious of her surroundings.

A seated gold mask individual seats casually as he looks at the officers who were oblivious of what was happening. Pyus and Nemesis exited the director’s office but was surprised to see they had an unexpected guests.

     “Illusion who are these guys?”, asked Pyus.

     “Apparently they’re are cops from New KL. My guess, they’re after Nemesis.”, answered Illusion.

     “Fool, I knew this would bite you in the arse sooner or later. Settle your problem now.”, Pyus instructed Nemesis.

     Young activated her accuracy ability; she managed to identify something, a conversation and shot a round or two from where the sound was coming. Illusion was wounded in the process disabling his ability.

     “Shit. They can see us. Get out of her Pyus, I’ll handle this.”, said Illusion as he takes out his gun.

     Nemesis too joined in the gunfight while Pyus attempted to escape the ordeal. He jumped off the building by breaking the glass window.

     “Fuck, we’re dead.”, said Nemesis as the fight was turning south for his team.

     “Fight until you die fool.”, said Illusion.

     Young took a coin out from her pockets and found a spot where she could hit the suspects at.

     “Please let it hit.”, as she threw the coin with much speed. It wounded Illusion’s leg; as a result, he was knocked out as soon as Young jumped in. Giving him that one-two punch on the face.

     “I got this guy. Go get Nemesis!”, she said to Nuway.

     Nuway chased after Nemesis when his partner fell. During the chase, shots were fired but it was scrambled and inaccurate, not even one scratch was landed on Nuway. After a short chase to one of the rooms, Nuway kept his arsenal and went melee on Nemesis. The fight turned out to be a one-sided fight because of Nuway’s training. Before Nuway could arrest the suspect, Nemesis laughed hysterically and said a single line, “Kill him.”, came running out the director, Roselina with a chair on both her hands. She smashed the chair on Nuway back but that did not stop him from cuffing the killer. As soon as he was cuffed, Nuway tried to control the situation by talking some sense into the director. He recalled this situation to be similar from way before when Young tried to kill him.

     “You can’t do anything about it officer.”, said Nemesis with a bloodied face, he smiled.

     “Fuck this. I’m sorry miss but you gotta sleep.”, Nuway knocked the director out.

     Young showed up after the whole fiasco and was shocked, “What happened here partner?”

     Nuway simply replied, “I got this under control.”
