INNER KILLER

Chapter 3

ZEE~~

I was about to be questioned by some guy who i knew nothing about. I felt interigated and intimidated sitting in a metal chair that i was strapped to, in a room of silhouette lighting. The guy came in and two other men behind him closed the door shut and stood near it like they were guards. He sat down exactly in front of me across the long metal table and i could see his features a bit better. He looked to be about in his early 50's, slim face, full grey hair, he was big with broad shoulders and dressed in a black suit covered with a white lab coat. I looked down at the monogram imprinted on the coat pocket. It read Zolitile Technology Branch. I was in deep confused thought when our eyes met and he smirked.

" Hello Brazil Tanner."

"How do you know my name?" I softly asked the man, trying to hide my panic. He looked at me and smiled.

"I know a lot about you, i just need some additional information is all."

"Like what!?"

"Like...when did you first realise what you were capable of?" His face suddenly turned firm and stern at the form of his question.

I didn't know what to tell him because i actually couldn't remember. I stared at him for a little while and one of the guards stepped forward, as if he was going to inflict pain on me to get me to talk or something. I opened my mouth to answer.

"I...i can't...recall." I lied, suddenedly remembering the reason why i ran in the first place. It started when i dreamt my teacher would get eaten by critters...my first...murder.

"You must remember the first person you ever killed Brazil. Come on, think." The man encouraged. I closed my eyes tightly shut, trying not to think about it.

"Don't force yourself. It'll come to you soon and when it does, i'll be here to talk." He then got up and turned his back to me.

"Is that all you have to ask me?" My question was but a whisper.

"For now." Was his reply, then the guards opened the door and he left, with them at his trail. About a second later a lady in a white pants suit came in the room and escorted me back to my 'cell' where some sandwiches and a bottle of water was waiting for me. Felt like looking at heaven because i hadn't eaten in days, i was starving. I immediately dove in and ate everything up, leaving not a scrumb behind. At this time i felt useless and stupid, blaming myself for the position i was in now. I had no idea what these people were planning to do to me, yet who they were and all but there was nothing i could do. I threw myself on the mattress they left for me on the far left corner of this white room and closed my eyes. It wasn't as if i could fall asleep and escape from this living nightmare for a while because i could'nt but it felt good to shut my eyes and pretend like i wasn't here, alone and helpless.

COMMUNICATOR~~

I was sitting at a local diner with the letter in my hands, staring at it as if it'll suddenly just show me the location of Brazil so i could bust in there and get her, bring her back safely where she belonged.

"You do know that staring at the paper won't teleport her here." She said as she approached me and took a seat.

"Yes, i am aware of that. When are we going to start protocol?"

"As soon as things are in order, you don't want to get killed do you"

I looked up at her for the first time since she sat down. "Of course i do not Zel but we have no clue as to when those creeps are going to start messing around in her brain...if they have not started already."

"Relax Dex, we are all as worried and persistant as you are, we WILL find her and when we do we are going to destroy Z-Tech for good."

That is exactly what i wanted. Z-Tech has gotten away with so many murders of our fellow people and they continue their ravenous masquerades, trying to screw us up and use us as their own personal pets or whatever they planned on doing. They needed to be stopped and this time they weren't going to win. We were going to be completely ready for that time of our war.

"Come on, we should get back, i parked the transporter in the alley at the back of this so called diner."

"Why is it so called?" I asked, getting up and leaving a tip under the salt shaker on the table. "It's a perfectly fine, typical looking eating place."

"Haha, good one."

We went around to our ride; a thing we call a transporter because it's the only thing that can take us to and from The Cove, which is our institute slash home. The transporter is like the combination of a motorbike and a car, kind of hard to explain, you'll just have to imagine it yourselves.

"I will never get tired of riding this thing." I pushed my gear in the insertion hole and pushed the accelerator button and in no time we were flashed out of here. One of the perks of my life.

"Everyone...everyone calm down!"  shouted our mother as she tried to put a stop to all the loud muttering and sudden panics about Brazil. I told Zel not to say anything yet, damn that girl could never learn to keep her fancy trap shut! I pulled out my lazer weapon and shot it into the air once, everyone stopped and looked at me suddenly.

"Nice going genius, you just shot a hole into the ceiling...and floor." Finn said, while everyone looked at me still.

"Go ahead mother, i got their attention for you." I said before walking away and heading toward the couch where my best friend, the television, stood.

"Everyone, i know that you are surprised and happy to hear about Brazil's exsistence and also scared and angry about her position right now...but...we will get through this, we've done it before and we can sure as hell do it again."

"With no deaths this time!?" Shouted someone from the back of the room.

"I...i cannot guarantee that but we will be more powerful if we plan this well and stick together. Z-tech cannot win." Mother struggled to encourage the others, remembering what happened the last time we encountered Z-tech. We lost our strongest and bravest leader, our dad, General Kai. We never saw it coming but no matter what, Z-tech had to pay, theyy could not get away with taking another one of our people. I would never let that happen...again.

I took Brazil's note out of the pocket of my leather jacket and looked at it. I was meant to find this because i was meant to find her. I was going to stop at nothing.

"Time to start phase 1." I said softly under my breath. "Zel...i need your help!"
