Pleaser To Meet You

Chapter 14

Date is September 22, 4052
    Before I knew it the car was slowing to a halt. We were somewhere far from anywhere that I recognized. To be honest this is a huge city. The building was a large shack that was run down and looked like it had been through a big storm. There was a single light on the front of the building illuminating the large thick metal door that took over most of the front. The man next to me looked out the window at the building and took a deep breath.
    They opened the large door on the building and we dove in. It was dark and I could not see anything. You could hear the door close behind us. We sat there in the dark for a second before one of them opened the car door. The cab lights flashed on and I found out it was the guy in front. The guy in the back was still sitting there and it seemed like he was frozen with fear. The other guy turned on the lights in the shop. Illuminating a large empty space. The windows were dark enough where I could not see much of anything. My door opened and the giant man grabbed my arm. He pulled me out of the car, not even giving me enough time to get my footing right.
    Part of me wished the man in the back of the car would help me out, maybe even reason with him to let me live. Yet I knew that was not going to happen. It was his programming.
    The larger man pulled me hastily towards a table in the middle. It had a chair next to it with a good amount of tools. There was a crane above it and a few giant lights around it. It looked like the typical operating station. I then realized what their plan was. It was to turn me into one of them. To probably find who they were looking for and then take them in. Even maybe murder people. That's not a life to live.
    I looked back at the car to see their eyes watching me intently through the tinted windshield. Their eyes white and looked just like regular lights. As I looked away, facing forward again. He pushed me into the chair next to the table. I sat there and looked up at him towering over me. He grabbed my shoulder and smiled in my face. His teeth were like spikes and he had no tongue.
    He walked to the back of my chair and cut the rope to my hands. Then he tied them to the chair.
    Yeah I know that was my time to run
He pulled the rope tight enough to burn. He then walked in front of the table and looked across it at me. One eye green, one eye blue. He looked at me as if I was an art piece to look at. Then he raised his hand and did a single snap of his fingers. The man in the back of the car came out and walked towards us. He kept his head down and when he got to us he looked at me. I could see the sympathy in his eyes.
    The taller one looked at the other smaller one and smiled. It was almost as if he was telepathically telling him something. Then the smaller one spoke in a more hushed tone almost as if he was embarrassed.
    "Here's the deal, we need your help"
I giggled and said.
    "Oh I think you boys can handle yourself"
The smaller one glared at me. His glare was intense and made me wanna look away but I'm stubborn. He rubbed his hands together and looked around the room. He then snapped his head back looking at me and said.
    "If you do not help us find her you're not the only one who's going to die. We all will until he finds her."
I could not help but chuckle a little but quickly stopped. I looked at both of them and they were very serious. I took a deep breath and said.
    "I need more than a promise to keep my life, I need something more beneficial to me."
They both raised their eyebrows. Then they looked at each other, noticing they had the same facial expression and snapped out of it. They both walked away a little and chatted like school girls gossiping over the new girl. Every once in a while they look over their shoulder at me as if I'm magically disappearing. I shouted at them.
    "Hey, I'm kind of hungry, you know I've been out in the woods for a few days. Also what was that place you really shou-"
They both hushed me at the same time then they looked at each other and rolled their eyes. I started to hum trying to annoy them enough where they either let me go, leave me alone, or even kill me. Sitting here is killing me. The bigger one runned his hand over his hair and looked at me.
"You best hush up before I knock you out"
I could see how angry he was getting at me and the smaller one put his hand on his shoulder to calm the big one down. The smaller one side eyed me and I giggled. I nodded at him and said.
"What's your name? I think it's time we know each other's names"
The smaller one headed over to me while the big one looked out into the darkness. Once he got closer he kneeled down in front of me. He looked up at me as if I was some sort of mystery and said.
    "I don't really have a name but I have a number I go by. Its 9993-"
I cut him off and said.
    "You seem like George but that is too basic.. How about Geo?"
He froze as if I pressed the pause button and stayed like that for a while. Then finally he blinked. He then stood up and I actually was kind of scared. He was the one that normally showed emotion so now that he is not it's kind of scary. He nodded yes and then walked away.
