CHAPTER II
"Crew? what crew?" I asked inquisitively, he just smiled at me and led me into a room filled with guys and boys dressed up like they had come and gone from World war 111.,
The room was filled with all sorts of high-tech compared to where they had me kept it was like as if I had just walked into a totally different dimension in a totally different timeline, then a man, sort of like adolescent walks up to me and the man and says
"Sir we've gotten reports of 5 more refugees hiding at the "Dodge Office" with robots approaching fast",
"what happened to our troopers in that area"? he asks
"they are busy trying to fight two class D robots and there is a class C robot headed their way right now", "how close are we to their location"?, "about half a mile sir", "and how close are the robots and how fast", "well sir they're about 400km away approaching at the speed of 100km/minute" he replies
"hmm, a trooper won't get there fast enough" he pauses to think "send in a Robler" he says with much confidence and authority
"Yes sir",
The man quickly leaves to execute the order given to him.
Now at this point I had done all my research and believed that Mr. Fogs was the one who saved my life, so I decided to voice my thoughts
"uhm sir"? he turns around and tries to turn the seriousness on his face into a soft smile
"yes kid"? "uhm I never got to say thank you for saving my life" he gave a warmer smile "so thank you Mr. Fogs" I add
and just like a withered leaf being carried away by the wind so his smile faded away so quickly
"I am not Mr. Fogs" he replied in a sad tone, once again another stupid mistake I made and I'm starting to think the best thing for me to do is to just keep my mouth shut. The sad tone and expression on his face made me wonder if Mr. Fogs is dead and he was somehow related to him
"My name is Cyrus Martin and the man who saved you is dead".
"What happened how did he die"? I asked scared and curious
And before he could attempt to answer my question, BOOM! an exploding noise is heard in the room but no one else seems to be affected by it but me
"Ok kid you need to go this place isn't for you" he says while signaling to one of the lads near bye.
"Go with Lex he'll take you to the others" he says as Lex grabs hold of me and leads me away from that room into another where I saw a bunch of kids like me giving serious attention to a strong manly figure standing before them
"Mr. Watson sorry to interrupt but Mr. Cyrus sent me here to deliver this child",
"another one"? he asked, "yes sir" the lad replied
"thank you, Lex you may go now," and those were the last words he says as he turns around to continue his class
and I am only left with my common sense that tells me to get in and join the class.
