L.A.P.D: The Dead Professor

Chapter 8

“You’re really inconsiderate and distracting, you know that Ryan?” Amos complained as soon as soon as Amos and Lizzie walked into the lair.

“I thought you could do with some dramatic feel” Ryan told him, a smile spreading across his face. Lizzie looked at them both, confused, while Brooklynn was laughing as hard as she could, holding her sides in pain from laughing so much.

“I nearly cut the wrong wire because of that. If I had, not only would Lizzie and I be dead, but so would every one who lived within a mile.” This statement stopped them laughing.

Amos put his outfit back onto the glass case, and changed into a pair of joggers and a t-shirt. He walked over to the gym and went straight to the ‘Salomon Ladder’, the pull up bar with 10 slots for the bar to rest on the rungs. He started without any hesitation, every time his head and shoulders lifted over the bar, he pulled the bar out of the rungs and lifted it into the pair of rungs above.

Once he got to the top, he dropped all the way to the bottom one once again, only to start again. This went on for 10 minutes non-stop, each time he hit the bottom rungs from the top, it jarred his entire body.

Once he had finished his work out, he was about to have a shower when the large screen on the wall hooked up to the computers crackled to life, and a woman’s face appeared on the screen.

“Hello Amos Bercovich.” The woman said in a strong Russian accent. “Or should I call you ‘The Purple Arrow.”

“Who are you and what do you want?” Amos demanded.

“Oh you don’t know me. But my boss has told me all about you, and about what happened 15 years ago.

“You work for him?” Amos shouted angrily at the screen “I don’t who you are. I Don’t know Why your talking to me. But if theirs only one reason you would be talking to us if you work for him. I will find you. And when I do, I will not hesitate to kill you.” Amos threatened, before cutting the line. Brooklynn, Lizzie and Ryan just stood and stared at Amos.

“Ryan, run her face through every facial recognition software in the world. I want to know who she is.” Amos ordered.

“Hang on a minute, Amos.” Lizzie said, grabbing his shoulder as he turned to leave the lair. “Who is this ‘he’ you keep talking about. You been going on about him yet the rest of us know nothing of who he is or what he wants with you.”

“He wants to kill every one I care about and love. He wants to torture them and make me watch. He used to be a friend. But that changed when a deranged psychotic scientist shot him. Me and his friend, my girlfriend at the time, injected him with a miracle drug that was meant to re-start his heart. That It did, but for some reason it also boosted his strength. Now when you shoot him, he gets hurt, but doesn’t die. We had to leave him otherwise we would have died too. That’s when the scientist and his crazy body guards ambushed us. They killed her. And I wasn’t able to stop them. When he found us, and the body guards, he got so angry he actually punched his hand straight through one of the body guard’s chest. The rest had started to fire there guns at him. Each bullet should have killed him. but they didn’t. But then some how the Scientist managed to convince him that it was my fault she is dead. And from that day on he has wanted to get revenge. I even had to put a arrow through his eye, at such a angle that it would have pierce both lobes of his brain, but some how he even survived that. Now I don’t know how to stop him.” he said pain and anger in his eyes. The others just stood their, mouth’s gaping and they had a look of fear on their faces.
