14 Cards

Fifteen.

Juilia's POV

15:37 hours.

I swear, I am in some 80's science laboratory. I and Steve stood at a higher level; looking down at scene below us. I realised something.

The light was dim above us.

"We are in surveillance." I muttered and pulled my phone out, flipping it. My black bug came handy. I turned back and saw set of poles supporting some projector thing, which it was not. I skipped 10 steps and stuck the bug on the ground level of pole.

Steve nodded watching my actions and rushed me to below, the huge horizontal silvery white tubes were grunting with smoke emitting from cracks, we waited to watch the fucking scene. I counted total 14 tubes were connected separated, merging with a huge wall mounting generator. Which was painted in black, some writings painted on it. It was not English. I heard some footsteps coming from opposite direction.

"Shit." Steve cursed and dashed to a bookshelf, about 20 metres away from huge tubes.

We were in shadows, compared to huge tubes which was under stadium lights. I moved some books slightly; so we could see what is happening. The bug. I removed the ear pods box from my jacket and tossed steve one. And fished out my phone. No network yet. Great. I connected the bug to my phone and connected it to pods. The buzzing sound hissed in our ears. Silencing my phone, I pocketed it. Steve looked around for something. I furrowed my brows, ignoring him I watched the people walking down to tubes.

"The actual fuck?" Steve murmured. I shot him glare looking at two giant Russian military guys walking with guns which I suppose was AK -74M. Followed by three white dressed guys with a file and note pad. Behind them were two guys; looking around. They were dressed in plain black and a brand symbol stitched on their shirt collar in orange. Behind them were more two Russian Giants.

"All prepared?" a voiced buzzed from ear pods. We looked through creek. A black dressed guy walked through tubes and checked the very end connected to generator.

"Yes. The first two are prepared. Remaining twelve need more time accordingly." A white coat replied. A guy in white coat looked pretty uncomfortable, like he was dragged here. Another black dressed guy walked to him and slapped his back in not so friendly way, he flinched and gave a chirpy look. Handling him the file. While keeping note pad to himself.

"You need to learn more, Tob." He said to Tob guy who was still uncomfortable. The black dressed read the file and walked to his friend who was still inspecting the generators. Their talks was not much audible as we could hear, 'yeah.' 'si' 'need to do today' 'he won't be happy' 'okay'.

Which confused out more when a third white dressed guy shook his head and rummaged through his file and read something on notepad. "Charming." He said and looked at first white doctor who read his file and notepad "1 oh 12 oh 1995" the last one white coat who was pissing out now nodded slowly. The black guys looked somewhat pleased from information walked to very end of room, the first tube.

"His hand." Steve hissed. I looked at the object in his hand of Black dressed guy who stood at start, another one near generator.

"On count of three Brad." He said aloud. Brad nodded.

15:45 hours

"One" I blinked. "Two." I stared at Steve who rubbed my knee in anticipation. "three." Brad swiped the white coloured X card on something a creak sounded the whole roam with a smell of chemicals. I removed my napkin from back pocket and tied it around my half face. Steve did same. The smell and white smoke filled the room for few minutes, making the scene look foggy. The scene got cleared a bit. A human stood beside the Tube in his birthday suit. Dark hairs. 6'2" height. His skin colour all white. Like he was dead.
Steve took out his phone and tapped few times on screen and captured the thing on camera roll and pocketed his phone back.
