Humanity's Relief (Sequel to The Cure For Humanity)

Chapter 11

4 Years ago*

Last night I had argued with Jake.

But sometime during the argument my head started throbbing, causing me to go to sleep after taking a pain medication.

I woke up the next morning, remembering the argument last night.

I got up and waked over to his room but saw that Jake had already left.

I sighed.

I was hoping that Jake was still here so that I could apologize for lashing out on him.

I didn't mean to yell at him like I did, I was just worried for his safety.

I mean my 16 year old son?

A mercenary?

Will I ever accept that?

He's still a child...

He should be focusing on his studies..

I know he only wants to get money so I can recover but this is not the way to do it.

What can I do to convince him to quit and go back to school?

Would he even listen?

Would he understand my point of view in all this?

Of course he wouldn't.

Oh..my head...

I hate these headaches.

Luckily it wasn't a big one so taking a pill would do for now.

I walked over to the kitchen to get a cup of water but something caught my eye.

The window..

Why is it open?

Did I leave it open?

Did Jake leave it open?

I was about to walk over to close it, but I decided to take my medicine before my headache got worse.

How long will I have to live like this?

These unexplainable migraines that I constantly get?

Even doctors couldn't tell me why I keep getting them.

I was beginning to lose hope that I will ever get better.

I mean every day I don't feel any better.

How long will this keep up before it takes my life away?

I walk over to the bathroom and open up the medicine cabinet.

I reach out to take my prescribed pills and saw that there was only one more left.

I sighed.

I have find a way to get more of these pills without spending so much money..

I closed the medicine cabinet and saw a man in black standing behind me.

Causing me to drop the pill and the cup.

I tried to run out of the bathroom but I couldn't.

I tried to scream for help but he had already pressed his body against mine to cover my mouth.

"Shhh..you don't have to be afraid...just come with us and we won't have to hurt you.."

I lifted my knee to hit him in the groin the pushed him away from me.
