Origins of the Fire

04. Madness Incarnate

BANG!

BANG BANG!!

BANG!! BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!

"I'M UP, OK?" Kweku shouted.

He quickly got up from the bed; he was in his cell.

"You sure?" A familiar voice said.

The voice sounded far from the cell, it was probably from the start of the hallway. There were whispers of children chanting;

"MI, MI, MI, MI.."

Kweku slowly moved from the bed to the bars.

"Chief? Chief what the hell is this?"

"MI, MI, MI..."

"You sure you're awake?" The voice said as it came closer and closer.

"MI, MI, MI...."

The footsteps were loud.

PA PA PA....

"Who's that?" Kweku shouted.

"MI MI MI MI!"

PA PA PA....

"I said who's....."

MIMIMIMIMIMI..."

PAPAPAPA....

PA........PA.

Kweku couldn't say another word. He could see the man clearly.

"You look sleepy. Have you forgotten who you are boy?"

"HAVE YOU?"

"NO!!"

Kweku rose from the bed, but he winced as his stomach still hurt a bit.

SCREEEEEECH

"You alright?" Chief asked from the door. He was buttoning his shirt.

Kweku held his stomach and looked down.

Chief slowly closed the door and went by the bed.

"I...I don't know who I am," Kweku said.

"Honestly that's what I'm trying to figure out," Chief said. "But take your time today, there won't be any questioning, just rest. And if you have any more problems, just shout for TT."

Kweku smiled a little before going to a pain default.

Chief tapped Kweku's legs before leaving.

SCREEEEECH

TT just stepped into the building, and realized Chief was wearing the same shirt as yesterday.

"Uhh Chief?"

"Yup?" Chief said while walking to the investigation room.

"Did you actually sleep here?"

"Didn't you get me the mattress?"

TT hit his head, realizing how stupid his question was, and went to watch the news.

SCREECH

"Derick," Chief sighed and took his seat in the investigation room.
