Strong One

Sub Chapter

This is a sub chapter as I didn't post yesterday.

I really don't like the people who keep me chained up, when out of my cage.  They talk not knowing, I can understand them.  I can understand more than they think.  But now they are talking about taking me to another location.  A location they believe is more secure than this one.

There was a fire and I heard that one of the one's they keep in cages escaped.  I wouldn't get very far if I were to escape.  I'm worried I might never get the chance though.  If I'm taken to a more secure place, then I might be caged up forever.

"They will becoming in two hours, make sure he has a clean t-shirt on and put a clean nappy on him" I hear the old dirty man say.  He smells worse than the nappy's I'm kept in.  I squirm when I see who is going to change me.  He never cares about how rough he is.

I get pulled from the cage, by my arm and cry out.  "Careful you fool.  As if we want the man to know, you've harmed another one" old man shouts.   As my top is yanked off me and a clean one put on.  Then he changes my nappy, but doesn't clean me at all.

I'm then thrown back in the cage and the door is locked.  I hold in my cry as my sore bottom hits the cage floor.  "I wish you were all dead" I mutter.  "I have to many requests for DNA coupling.  What do they think I am a machine?" the old man complains.

"You've still not managed to figure out how the two we have, made it.  When hundreds didn't" mean guy says.  I hold in my laughter when the old man hits him over the head.  "I'm the one that has managed to extract more than a thousand different DNA samples though.  I'm going to go down in the history books as the leading DNA expert in manipulation of cross species DNA" old man boasts.

I see the mean one take another vile and put in his pocket.  He does this regularly as the old man doesn't seem to take much notice of anyone.  I sit there and pretend to play with my feet as I listen to them talking.

"Doctor, the tack team is here to take specimen 10987" a person says over a speaker.  "Aren't they early?" old man asks.  "No, sir its now midday" mean guy answers.  "Tell them I'm on my way" old man says. 

He stops what he is doing and walks over and grabs my cage.  He lowers it on a wheeled thing and pushes me to the door.  He has to use his tag and voice to get out the room.  Then I'm pushed out through the room, where they kept the other one.  Then out another controlled door.  Which leads to a corridor.  This is all new to me now.  I've never been further than the other room.

I keep my hands on my feet, but watch and listen closely.  "I don't think, they have faith in doctor Bentley anymore" I hear someone say further down the corridor.  "I think they are getting ready to replace him.  But they have to be careful as they don't want him to destroy all the DNA he's managed to collect" another says.

I glance down the corridor and see a much bigger metal door.  "I think our doctor will have an unfortunate accident in the neat future" the first person says.  I like the sound of that.  I watch as the old man types in a code, then bends for something, before using his tag thing he has around his neck.  "We can only hope the generators kick in, if there is ever a power cut" he mutters under his breath.

"We've got it from here, sir" a man wearing very dark clothes says.  He is also wearing something on his head.  That I haven't seen before.  "ID" old man demands.  The new man shows him something and the old man grunts "be careful with him.  If anything where to happen to him in transit, we'd all lose our heads."

The dark dressed man lifts up the cage and carry's me away.  We go out another door that is controlled by just a tag.  I cover my eyes as it is very bright, but the air smells wonderful.  That is until, I'm put inside another box.  Another dark dressed man, is also inside.  The first one climbs in and bangs on the box.

We start to move and I can't see out the dark glass to see where we are going.  I feel scared now, these people are unknown to me and I don't know where they are taking me.  "Sir taking the mountain route as there has been a fender bender, which is holding up traffic" someone says.

"Keep your eyes peeled" first man says.  We start to climb upwards.  I can feel the air pressure change.  With my good hearing, I hear something beside the noise coming from the box we are in.  I wonder what it is and then grab the side of my cage when the box is picked up.

"What the hell? I can't hear anything? Can you see anything?" first man yells.  "No, sir but there is a hole in the side of the vehicle" second man says.  "Shh little one" I hear but as though in my head.  Then the box stops moving.  "Everyone stay alert" first man shouts.  I hear running then something being opened.  Someone has been hit.  I think anyway, their breathing is different from before.  Then the door we came through is opened and the first man cries out grabbing his head and falling back, he is no longer breathing at all.

The second guy moves and is dragged out.  "Hey, little one, I'mhere to save you" a  man wearing nothing says.  I watch as he unlocks the cage.  He puts his hand into the cage and then allows me to sniff it.  No-one has ever cared about me before.  So, I decide to take his arm.  He takes me out the cage and holds me carefully in his arms.  

As he gets out the vehicle the second man says "you can't take him."  The man holding me moves quickly, holding my head to him and kicks the second guy, so he disappears from view.  Then the man holding me climbs up on top of the box.  He looks upwards and then something appears, which the man jumps onto.

I cling to him not knowing what is happening.  Then I'm pushed into another ones arms and the naked man disappears, but not for long.  I sniff the man holding me now and recognise his scent as the one that escaped.  I've been set free.  He came back to get me.  I feel myself relaxing, my eyes getting heavy.

Then I feel a small pain, then something wet move over my neck.  Then I feel relieved, happy to be out the cage, warm and free.  Whatever we are on, turns sharply.  The man holding me strokes my back.  I'm safe, that is the main thing.  But I feel us going down and wonder what is happening.

The thing we are on, crashes through something and then it moves its head and breaths out fire.  After he does this for a third time.  I hear people screaming and banging.  I realise that the people that held me and were mean to me.  Are trapped inside the place I was held.  "My DNA, NOT MY DNA" I hear the old man yell, before he starts to scream.  Then he stops.

Another snort of fire and then we are in the air again.  I can hear the people dying.  I feel myself sinking into sleep.  A sleep where I won't have to keep an ear out for what is happening around me.  For once I'll be able to sleep deeply.  I smile and snuggle into the warm chest I'm being held to.  Blackness takes me and for once I'm not scared.

This is just a prelude to the next chapter enjoy 😊
