Code Red

Chapter 14

Grecia woke up to the sound of a ball hitting a fence. She looked up and saw a bright blue sky with tons of big fluffy clouds. Something she had never seen. All the pollution from the attacks had clogged up the atmosphere, the sky was a dark brown the whole time. She sat up and looked around. She was at a tennis court. She blinked. Was she dreaming?
And then she remembered the A virus that had been injected in her. Which meant that none of this was real. She turned the man with his back towards her running towards a small green ball on the ground.
"Excuse me? Hello?" Grecia shouted to him.
The man turned around.
"Why hello there! May I ask who you are?" He asked.
"Grecia."
"Well nice to meet you Grecia. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to finish my match."
Match? She hadn't noticed anyone else in the dream...
"Call the score, mate!" Yelled the man. And then she heard a familiar voice shout out random numbers that she didn't care about.
"General?" Grecia stared at her leader with extreme confusion. "I just saw your body, how can you be here?" General Dre sighed.
"I died, Grecia. Simple as that."
Grecia was in shock. He wasn't dead, he couldn't be. After all he had gone through, he died from a forced drug overdose. What an unhonorable death.
"But-" Before she could say anything else, he shushed her.
"Shut up. I'm dead, so get over it. You have a job to do. Get out of this dream. Just wake up, Grecia. I've seen what's coming. You need to be prepared."
She nodded her head.
"Good. Now leave. I need to finish this match with my brother."
Grecia remembered Dre mentioning his dead brother once or twice but he didn't open up much.
Not knowing what else to say, she closed her eyes and concentrated on waking up.
"Oh and say hi to Harry for me!" Yelled Dre, but before she could ask who that was, she woke up.
