I woke up two days later in a hospital bed, my wound was treated with medicine and bandaged up. I looked around the room, everything was white and clean some of the stuff was almost shiny. I had never been in the room like this before except for with my father he said places like this no longer existed. Then again I should not have been surprised, seeing that a lot of the stuff in the city my dad and no longer existed. I was assuming it was not because he thought it no longer existed, but because it wasn’t supposed exist anymore. And it was at that point that I realized that the city was a leftover remnant of times past. That must be why they are able to build such advanced technology so easily, and so quickly.

I sat up in the bed and began to think, everything around me was reminded me so much of my father’s laboratories. So much so that I couldn’t help but wonder if he had came here at some point in time. Maybe he even had something to do with the design of this city’s, that would be quite interesting if he did have something to do with it. Knock knock came from the door as Adam pushed it to the side then he walked in. “hey Daniel how you doing today, I hope you’re doing pretty good. It seems as though you’re doing better seeing that you’re awake now.” he said with a smile pulling up a chair and sitting down. “I’m feeling a lot better. Just sitting here admiring the design of the city, it’s quite interesting.” I replied to him while looking through the window.

“oh I see, well it is a pretty nice view if I don’t say so myself.” Said Adam to me as he looked out of the window with me. “you wouldn’t happen to know who was the designer of this city now would you, its just that something about it seems so fimular that I was wondering who was the designer of the city.” I asked him, thinking about my father and if he had anything to do with this place, to or if I was finally out of hos seaming reach. Hopefully I was going to get the answer that I wanted to get from him.

“I’m not absoulatly sure but I’m pretty sure the person that designed this city was an old guy his name was carl I think not really all that sure on his name but I know it started with a C. he helped us buld the city and get it off the ground almost 100 genrations ago.” He replyed to me, giving me the exact answer I did not want to here. I knew my father had something to do with this city to but I wondered why he never told me anything about this place to but right now I didn’t care. This journey was about me not him and I was going to enjoy myself, even if it seemed like I was just following in his foot steps again.

“So I’m starting to think that my speed isn’t always going to be enough for me to protect thoses packages or for me to protect myself for that matter.so I want to know what we can do to change that.” I said to Adam as I turned from the window, he looked at me with an odd look as if he was just waiting for me to ask that for the longest while. “it’s about time you asked about that. I thought it was strange that you went on any deliverys without asking for a shield or weapon of some kind before you left.” He replyed to me almost about to laugh. “well I thought it was kind of funny that you didn’t but I figured you already had something that you would use to defend your self but after you came back the other day I realized that you didn’t. I thought you had a death wish for a while when they broth you in to the hospital, but no matter how bad you got you just wouldn’t die. You must have  God on your side cause I have never seen someone who had lost as much blood as you did live.” he continued with a slight laugh in his voice.

“yeah I know what you mean but I wouldn’t say God is on my side more like the oppsite of that for my family. But that’s a long story I don’t want to get into right now. Right now I want to know what I could use to protect myself from people like these guys.” I said to him as I stood up and stretched my legs out. “Well I will tell you one thing you did come to the perfect place to get just what you need. How about this, I will arrange a thore of the factories where we make weapons and shields to stop them and you can see what we have and pick from that. And we will have it resized to fit you perfectly. How does that sound?”
