Crime

Working for the Other Side

I didn't sleep much that night, I just layed there contempllating my choices. It was true that I had indeed committed countless crimes and deserved to die. I think I deserve to die also simply from the amount of people I killed. I have to be one of the most dangerous people in the world, and yet here I am, still alive and well. Why didn't he just shoot me and be done with it? It would be less paperwork I would think, but I guess he has his motives. Instead of killing me outright he has given me a chance to redeem myself. Should I take it? Ugh I cant think when im this tired...maybe I'll just close my eyes for a minute...

After a few seconds in darkness I suddenly hear someone speak. "You should take the offer" a voice spoke...but I couldn't make out it exactly, they had a voice modifier. "Am I sleeping? It's the middle of the night. who would be talking to me?" I thought aloud to myself. Finally shaking my head I look up to the night sky, but there was something there...a figure. The figure jumped down from the skylight into the cells. In the faint light I couldn't make out any distinctive figures but a light blue visor in a "v" pattern across his face where someone would see. "Like I said, you should take the offer..." his voice was disguised still. I stood up and walked to the cell doors to get a better look.

In the darkness, though hard to make out, was a suit of armor. It was like someone from the middle ages would wear, but with no curves, only edges. I was surprised "who are you? I say. "Just take the job, and you will find out" the figure repeated. I was about to open my mouth and respond but the figure just raised his left gauntlet at me. I heard a faint pop as 2 darts land in my arm. I pull them out and throw then out of the cell in haste, but it was too late. The effects had already started, my vision was going blurry and my legs felt weak. I stummbled around before i made it back to the bed. I sit on the bed, leaning against the cold wall. I stare at the figure for a second before the world goes black.

_______Do I really need to say hallucinations any more?_________

(Man, what is in those darts?!)

Suddenly I wake up and im on my side, like I was earlier that night. Siting up, I suddenly felt as if someone whacked me on the head, in a way someone did. "So it was a dream..." I say to myself, still not convinced. "I'm still waiting on an answer" a familiar voice said. I look over and its the commissioner holding a two cups of coffee. I stand up and walk to the door "Yes...I'll help you. Not much use to anyone if I'm dead." I chuckle. "Good" he replied, then he got out his keys and opened the cell door. He offerers me one of the coffee mugs "lets go see your new partner" he said.
