"Welcome James. I would invite you to sit at the table, but someone," Semaj said glaring at Billy "Broke the table. Frank," he barked "Bring us another table."
A short, black haired man flinched and ran to the next room as quick as he could. He returned in seconds with a mahogany side table.
"That will do. Now go! Leave us be," he yelled at Frank and the other men in the room. Semaj picked the file off the floor and put it on the new table.
"Now, I will answer your previous question about your past. Just read through this file and you'll find everything you want to know."
I took the file in my shaking hands. I've always wondered what my past was like. Now I would find the truth. I opened it and began reading.
James Smith. He was the leader of the RHW (ruling of the human world). His ruling period was 1998-2004. Cause of leaving - memory loss.
I sat there in shock for a few minutes. I read the sentence three times again. The words didn’t want to sink in. There was no way I could’ve been part of this evil society, the ‘ruling of the human world’. There was no way this was true. The rest of the file was on different "missions" I had attempted to lead them on. The last part caught my attention.
May 17th 2004. The experiment went completely wrong. Mind control injection turned into memory loss injection. It was tested on James Smith. Reaction- blacked out. When he woke up, he couldn't remember who he was or where he was. We threw him on the streets and that was the last we saw of him.
"No way was I the leader of you guys," I said, my voice shaking.
Semaj smirked at me.
"Yes you were. As you can probably guess, our mission is to take over the human race. With you being the previous leader, it only seems right that your eldest son would be the rightful heir. Our next plan will make us leaders of North America. Then, slowly we will take over the rest of the world. RHW will make the human world a better place."
Suddenly the alarms went off. A man's voice came over the speaker system.
"There’s an intruder on the premises. Repeat intruder on the premises."
Semaj frowned.
"Capture the intruder you fool. Don't let him get away."
After a few minutes, a man and a woman came into the room carrying a child. They threw him onto the floor. The boy looked up at me his face bloody and his nose looked broken. I was horrified.
"What did you do to Jack?"
