ALPHA

Chapter 39

He hears the voice of Sam behind him. He turns around to see him with a shock.

And then suddenly he runs towards him and grabs his collar.

 "You pathetic son of a *. You were behind this. Tell them the real story. Tell them what you did with her." He growls at him.

Two men come from a side and grab his knees and take him away.

Everyone stops to look at them.

"I think he is still in a shock. The after-shock you know. They had messed up very bad. Now he is finding it difficult to process the reality." Sam puts an explanation before all.

"I am speechless. We all are very grieved about El. She was one of the really hard working employees of the company. But she made a mistake by involving you in her project. Sam told me about your condition. How you got rejected from various positions and El took a great sympathy for her childhood friend and now she had to cost her life for this. I don't know how I am gonna reestablish the name of our company. This incident is going to cost us a great loss." The manager speaks cruelly without showing any concern of what just happened. He seems only upset for himself and the repute of his company.

"Don't worry sir. Everything is going to be alright. The person who is responsible for all of this will get his reward." He tells his boss while looking at Ryan standing at some distance from him.

"Go Sam. It's in your hands now. I have putting all of my faith in you. Just do whatever you can to get us out of this situation." The boss speaks giving him the directions and then goes out of the room.

"Take him outside. The police are waiting for him." Sam walks towards him and stops in front of him and speaks while looking into his eyes.

"Nobody is ever gonna believe you crackhead. I hope you and that little pathetic friend of yours, you both rot in hell." He spits on his face and walks away, laughing.

He finds himself unable to speak anything. He feels numb and senseless. He can't think of the way Sam just explains what happened with El. She isn't coming back. She has become the food of so called technology.

Helost his friend. He lost his only friend and is not capable of proving theirinnocence and the evil intentions of Sam. He is gonna get the lifetime prisonor maybe death sentence in the accusation of killing his friend while messingup illegally with the system of the company without their consent. So this wasthe great conspiracy of Sam. He found out that he is alive and got theinformation about his robotic clone making project and used it against him toget away with the situation. Everyone is gonna believe his story. Nobody isgoing to bother to know his side of story. That's it. El died without provingherself innocent and he will die with the guilt of killing his friend. His mindgets blurry by each incoming thought and he keeps walking out of the buildingwhere police and the agents for investigation are waiting for him.

It's raining outside. He stops for a moment and loses his tie with frustration. He removes his formal shirt and throws it away. Suddenly he looks at the sky and breaths heavily and then starts walking again towards the police cars.

THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE..

THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE..

THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE.."

SHE WAS WALKING DOWN THE ROAD, LISTENING TO THE NEWS ON HER HEADPHONES AND SMOKING A CIGARETTE IN HER MOUTH WHILE MUMBLING AND REPEATING THE NUMBERS LIKE A MANTRA UNDER HER BREATH.

(Well, hello there. I don't know how to say it but the journey of Ryan and El doesn't end here, it surely is kind of at the pause button here and I have no idea for how long. I am stopping here until I find myself able enough to come back here and continue again our journey. 

So I think That's it! My first ever written work is dedicated to every single person who becomes kind enough to open and have a look at it. I am leaving it here and really want my work to be explored by some of you. Your single comment or a little appreciation would become the cause of my further motivation as it has been during the writing process.)

Stay safe until we meet again! :)
