The timepiece experiment

The begining

11/6/17 :New York

I look behind me to make sure I'm not being followed. The cold November wind is blowing hard against my jacket. Taking a sip from my coffee I stop to look at the headline on today's billboard:CRISIS! GLOBAL WARMING AND OVERPOPULATION THREATENS EARTH!! Experts say humans will only last 50 more years in this condition. I sigh. "Well, going to have to do something about that pretty soon. Maybe later, hey what can I say I'm a procrastinator."

"Yes Charlotte. you are, and you always have been." I spin around.

"God Joey! What the hell! I thought you were in Russia!"

"Well I was, and now I'm not." He said with a gleeful smile. "You know you missed me."

"Of course I missed you, you idiot!" I whispered quickly looking around to make sure we were not being watched.

"Aren't you forgetting something?"
He said with a pointed look.

"Ugh Fine, you little devil. But only for you." I gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

"Kids these days. Sheesh." We stop our fairly important conversation and turn around. A man. Probably around 37 is standing there with a look of disgust on his face. "Ms. Porter. Mr. Loft. Follow me."

"We are not following you anywhere until you know what you want" Joey said with a look of what I can only describe as a mix of concern and confusion. It was adorable.

"Sweetheart I know what he wants. Agent McAllen. Are you here about The timepiece? Because I have some information I think you need."
Joey looked at me.

"Is this about the experiment? I thought he d-"

"Joey that is top secret information. And you do not know who this guy is! You cannot just almost tell info like that." I whispered harshly. I regretted it almost immediately though.

"Yes I am here about the timepiece experiment. Do you know where he might be" he said quietly.

"Not here. I am being followed. But I think I can lose them. Meet me here." I slipped a small piece of paper into his hand. He stiffened when he saw what was on the paper.

"Anywhere but there, ms. Porter. Anywhere but there."

I was puzzled, but I didn't let it show. "No can do agent M. I have other plans. If you need the information that badly, and I know you do. you will come with us." I decided with a smug smile.

    "Alright. You win" He said calmly. "But how are we going to get there without being blown up by the bomb that is currently being placed in your car?"

"What?" Said Joey. Sounding calmer than he actually was.

   "Who are you? I asked as he pulled out a gun. I was prepared to kill him, but there were to many civilians to do it here without it being all over the news.

   "Your worst nightmare. Now come with me." He slammed his elbow into Joeys nose and as I watched my best friend fall to the ground in shock. He grabbed my waist and threw me over his shoulder. I tried flipping him over but he was obviously trained better than me. I started to scream for help  before I was shoved into a car and then everything went black.

I awoke to the sound of a person screaming in the next room. I was laying on a cold metal surface. I tried to lift my head and, to my dismay, instantly felt as though my head were going to explode. That nasty jerk. This was stolen tech from the IPA (international protection agency) a force field of sorts, That sent an electric current through who or what tried to pass through it. I turned my attention to the man sitting in the chair.

"Oh darling you're up. Enjoying your visit?"

"Like hell I am. You can take your formal pleasantries and throw them out the fucking window. Because I don't want them."

"Darling I am very hurt. I expected a better attitude from who I heard was the best in the business."

       "Yeah well my good attitude kinda went out the window when you kidnapped me."

    " what a shame." He said. "You know what I want and how I can obtain it. So are you up to sharing? Or are we gong to do this the hard way?" He asked. There was a look in his eyes that made me shiver. He came toward me with a sword. It curved gently like one of the swords you see in a museum. To my horror I realised the tip was glowing cherry red, Breaking out in a cold sweat, I struggled to get out of my chains. But to no avail, I felt the scream tear through me as the metal sliced through my stomach. I heard the sharp ping as it touched the metal that my back was laying on. The last thing I could see was the man's grin. And as I fell into the abyss all I could think was how much he must be enjoying this.

Sorry it's so short but I so so so
So hope you like it. This is my first story so feel free to criticize in any way. Ok thanks!
