Killing Floor: London Bridge just Burnt down

Chapter 3: Family matters

As the palace doors rumbled open the group drove in with lots of cheers and fanfare "don't let all this go to your heads" father Albert's said with a massive smile on his face "me never" Foster said and got out the car, he mimed to open the door forgetting it had fallen off. The trader parked on in a corner of the plaza as the rest climbed out the car tired and sore. "cant wait to hit the hay tonight" Foster said while walking with the group towards the doors. Lieutenant Masterson stares at them silently and walks back inside "ha were so good the major man is speechless!" Scully says stretching.

They walked up the many stairs to their room, "welcome to our room, weve been here for like... 2 or three days but that's fine" the Mrs tells Alberts and Rachel. "we like sitting outside on the balcony and just talking" Ed mentioned happily as he walked to his sofa bed "im surprised with how cozy and down to earth this place is" alberts says with a smug smile looking directly at Foster "well its better than a burnt down church" he blurts out "oh shit sorry that one was too real" fosters quick apology surprised Alberts "its fine. Why don't we go and get a spot to sleep" he told Rachel, they turned and started to inspect the room for a suitable place "I know its fun to be.. you know fake mean to friends but im glad to see youre apologising for when you take it too far" the mrs praised foster, taking off her mask and whispering something into his ear.

"they are do it again aren't they" scully said looking annoyed at them "hopefully they will be more quite this time" Ed said while gathering some food for them "the hell are they doing, we haven't seen any condoms?" scully asked "they wont be needed due to Beatrice being infertile" Father Alberts mentioned to them, ed and scully shocked expression "I... shouldn't have said... " his immediate regret was immense "their surname is Foster? If so then maybe not" Rachel said, Beatrice pulled Gared to a different room "while I was working in Horizine France, something like 6 months ago, I had seen a transcript for a high value client and investor named B. Foster to get a uterus transplant due to theirs not working."

"investor?" Ed asked "yeah, the fosters investment portfolio are massive and they are also large investors for our Horizine healthcare... the hope was to make healthcare dirtcheap sothat everyone can get some..." Rachel started to get frustrated "well if shes pregnant shouldn't she be feeling kinda weird or shitty" scully asked, Rachels and Eds bewildered expression was self-explanatory "even with the surgery there is still a very high chance that she will simply stay infertile. The surgery success is about 25-33% success rate... so sadly there is still a chance she is still infertile." She explained avoiding eye contact "anyway, we should wait till were all here till we discuss the mission topic." Alberts suggested.

After about 11 minutes of loud sex the two walked out as if nothing happened, the both of them sat down outside on the balcony with them, they all sat around a small campfire "what?" Foster asked due to everyone staring at them in embarrassment "the fact that you both aren't embarrassed even a bit is kind of scary." Scully mentioned "yeah... mon doux papillon" Ed mocked Beatrice, suddenly their faces got very red "anyways whats the plan for tomorrow" Foster quickly shifted the topic, Rachel nodded. "first we need to break into the Horizine HQ in the centre of london" she began to explain at the annoyance of scully who wanted to annoy the fosters some more. "my dad is the Patriarch, he started this whole apocalypse shit" everyone's eyes widened and jaws dropped "i hope he's more like a stepdad caus he's seriously ugly and like you arent" Scully unknowingly complimented her "we know that Horizine has something to do with the zeds but what will we find at the HQ? are they mind controlled or are there assholes that are bringing people there to get turned into zeds?" Ed asks "the creatures you call Zeds or zobmies or whatever are actually mutated clones of humans" she explained, stunning everyone "Horizine was cloning humans to farm organs for transplants and universal blood donations, that's why the healing needle you guys have actually heals you, due to the zeds being O negative it also has coagulant that repairs any and all sliced or open wounds on your body." Beatrice put her hand on her belly "yes Beatrice, youre implant came from a very early clone." Rachel told her, she couldn't bare looking her in her eyes "at some point in the last 3 months my dad got more... delusional, he started to treat them as if they were his children... maybe because most, if not all of them were clones of him and other family members.. like me..." she caught her breath "wait if the clones were made to be used for health care why are there spider-, meat grinder-, swords, flamethrowers and chainsaws bound to them?" Foster listed, raising a finger for every item "and don't forget the caustic vomit, invisi bitches and carbon fibre fleshed nob heads." Mrs foster added "as you can imagine the military gave a substatntial amount of dosh for us to make weaponised experiments. Dad seemed to be very fond of them." her answer was expected but still not good. "dad being the patriarch was horrified by the murdering of his children... and with one breach of containment after another he had an idea... hed put a chip inside them sothat he could control them. at that point everything was quite but he said he could hear them..." Rachel started to clamp down on her arms, pushing her nails into her skin "I feel responsible for this... he came to me for help, tried to show me how he could control them but seeing them up close for the first time..." she stared into the small fire "I screamed and ran, the noises they all made was" her voice trembled as she recalled the moment, scully stood up and comforted her, letting her sit on his chair "from then on his mental health declined, he permanently imbedded the remote control in his brain, and started to make a perfect replica clone of himself... but more mutated... in his mind more perfect... even of me... the ones who scream and the invisible ones are made with my DNA... he tried to fix my problems." She began to refocus as scully wrapped a blanket around her.

"what problems do you have?" Alberts asked, "endometriosis and a small amount of by now probably terminal intestinal cancer" she said chuckling, leaning back into the seat. "this is a suicide mission, I don't expect any of you to go with me, if you can bring me to the HQ that would be enough help." She underplayed how hard it would be for her to this by herself.

"sure we'll do it" Scully said, Foster looked at his wristwatch "we don't have anything planned for tomorrow" Mrs Foster said jokingly, Alberts and Ed nodded at her "are you all serious?" Rachels grateful expression brought a smile to everyone. "so where we going tomorrow" Ed asked wanting to prepare "the laboratory. The main building is ontop of and slightly next to the underground train station, there is an entrance at the train station that would be easier to get inside of than the main building" she told them "I have a question, most if not all broadcasting equipment has been malfunctioning, is there like a jammer at the Horizine labs?" Scully asked "I think there might be one, if not there will certainly be an answer on how to override it or something" scully and ed seemed pleased with this information.

"then lets get a good nights rest, tomorrow sounds like a big day." Alberts say, everyone agree as they stand up. "Beatrice" Alberts called out to her "I want you to know that in the past I misjudged you. You're a stand up person." Alberts patted her on the back. "now... uhh... next time don't bring the lord into you twos love life" he walked away, the fosters both felt extremely embarrassed "do you think-" as Gared began to talk Beatrice shushed him by putting her finger to his lips "lets just forget this happened and go to sleep." She said, her face bright red.

INNER PEACE

This feels like a death sentence, this is hell on earth, I have no idea what to expect tomorrow but all I know is that at this point I cant them down now. We fight together, we'll all get out of this.
