Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 2

The dream seemed to real, like I was almost there. If it was actually a vision of my memory, then that must be how I lost my memory. Of course I can't be sure about that, but it's the best answer I got so far. We finally made it to their house, or my house, I don't know all I know is that we made it to a house. All of us got out the car and walked into the house. It wasn't that big, but it was big enough to fit all of us in it. "So...this is where I use to live?" I asked one of them "Yes." Carrie answered, "Before you went to war, you helped me take care of the kids." Carrie explained, but all I heard was 'war'. "War? I was in a war?" I asked her trying to confirm what I heard. "Yes James. Your a war hero. You risked your life to save your entire team." she explained to me, and it all became. That dream wasn't a dream, it was a vision to my memory. So at least I know how I got amnesia, but one crucial thing still lies unknown. Who was yelling at over the walky-talky? And why I said he set us up? This is all to confusing for me, best if I just leave it alone for now.

As I was pestering through my thoughts, I heard something ring throughout the house. I think it's the doorbell? I went to the door and opened it, to see a a strange man, about my age, in a wheel chairs with no legs. As I took a good look at the guy...oh my god it's the guy from my dream, Rich. He looked up at me, and his facial expression was as he had seen a ghost. "James..." he said in a faint voice, he couldn't believe what he was seeing "Yes?" I answered, and his shocked face turned into happiness, "James! Oh my god James you're alive!" he exclaimed in excitement over my presents "Yeah I'm alive...Rich is your name right?" I asked him, just to be sure. He gave me a very puzzled look once I asked that question, "Of course I'm Rich man. Don't you remember me?" he asked, and all I could do was bow my head in shame. A few seconds later, he caught on that I actually couldn't remember who he was, and the excited face of his turned into sorrow and grief. "Oh I'm so sorry man. Well, I'm Richard O'Brian, but you've always called Rich since we met in high school." he explained, and then I had a vision of us egging a staff member in high school, so funny. "Wanna walk and talk just like we use too?" he asked me and I nodded at him and walked off down the street with him. "Well, it's good to see you again, even though you're not in the right state of mind." he said trying to brighten the mood. "Yea...hey what happened to your legs?" I asked and suddenly he stopped and his eyes widened. "Um..t-they were blew in war! Moving on!" he exclaimed nervously, what the hell is his deal? "Dude, are you okay? Why you being so nervous?" I asked him wondering why did his mood suddenly change. "N-No it's nothing so lets just move on!" he exclaimed and began riding in his wheel chair away from me very fast. I knew something was wrong about how he was acting. He was hiding something, and I'm going to find out what it is, even if it kills me.

Elsewhere, in a secret military base. A soldier is rushing towards his commander to tell him some concerning news. "Commander Briggs!" The solider said in a respectful, firm tone "What can I do you for solider?" the commander asked wondering . "Its James Roman, he's awake." the solider said, and it gave the commander a concerned look. "Don't worry solider. If push comes to shove, we'll handle him."
