Previous ChapterNext Chapter

         Jake woke up. He was in a narrow dark silverish metal hallway. The walls where in constant movement as his legs where in a sitting position. Then a sudden shock of realization traveled around his body. He realized the walls weren't moving, he was being dragged. His arms where behind him and his military boot's rubber were squeaking loudly. He struggled but he could't move his arms or legs. Another wave of panic flew across his body. Am I paralyzed? The panic of his mental state triggered an adrenalin burst. He was able to fling himself out of the arms of the kidnappers, dashing he ran as fast as he could. He ran 10 feet before collapsing in a agonized realization. He finally saw that the hallway looked like an endless tunnel reaching to infinity.

Jake was puzzled. As Jake tried to figure out where he was currently at, a stunning shock of electricity zapped his leg until he was near death. He was still conscious as he felt himself getting dragged more.

"Calm down, it won't be long," A deep strong voice said in a monotone voice. "You won't be here for long."

A cool slow metal sigh of relief filled his body. Jake was glad of the though to go home again. As the 2 "escorts" slowed to turn Jake around a corner. One of them let go, Shortly after Jake could here a very fast repetitive Click sound which made a spark in Jake's memory. A prison cell door. Jake's body flared up again attempting to stand up. It was too late he was thrown into the cell and locked before he was able to move his legs. The cell had no windows, only a metal bed and a toilet.

"How are you feeling today," A familiar voice said. "Because mine has been shit."

Jake turned towards the voice and found the most familiar face he had ever seen. "BLAKE!" Jake exclaimed in excitement. "what happened to us?"

"To be short you where knocked out, while i was bit by a rattlesnake, flashed, and gun butted."

"Ouch..." Jake said softly.

"I tried my best but they got me." Blake said showing his scared hand with removed shrapnel marks.

One hour of boring cell time, a prison guard walked up to the cell with an assault rifle and said with a commanding voice "Step back, or I wont hesitate to shoot you." Jake and Blake had no reason not to listen, they stepped back until the steel wall was in the way. The guard unlocked the cell walked back into the hall and yelled "Now get out here or i'll come back in there!" Jake and Blake complied. The two walked out side and Jake was amazed to see that the endless hallway was really only endless in one direction, which was the one he came from, and where the officer was standing.

"Which way, officer?" Blake asked in a kind role-playing tone.

"That way," The officer said gesturing his gun in the other direction. "Then take the elevator up."

"Gotcha." Jake said understandingly.

The two moved down the hallway aware of the guard following them about 15 feet apart. Then ahead there was another figure with a military suit, a sidearm, and a combat knife. The knife was holstered near his thy while he was messing with his loaded sidearm. He was leaning on the wall unaware of the 2 people with camo jeans and blank gray shirts. The guard was about 100 feet from the end of the hall while nearly 50 feet from Blake and Jake. As they passed the guard, there was a swift and silent sound of sliding metal. The guard was cocking the sidearm, or so Jake thought. He looked around slowly to notice that Blake had pick pocketed the guard of his knife. The guard behind them didn't seem to notice.

As the two closed in on the elevator in the end of the hall, Blake instinctively pressed the "^" button on the elevator wall. The elevator door closed slowly as the guard that was following them stopped out side and lowered his rifle to put his radio up to his mouth. Then the elevator made a small thud and started moving down.

"We're moving down?" Jake whispered.

"Yes we are. What can you expect form the people who kidnapped up and locked us up?" Blake responded in a sighing voice.

The elevator stopped. The door slowly opened and Jake peered into the 3 story room with a lot of computer consoles on floor 1, and 2. It was filled with white lab coat scientists. The room had a stairway which lead to a blindingly white light the size of 2 double doorway. 2 armed guards approached Jake and Blake with their rifles ready, aiming at the guests heads.

"Walk towards the light." One said quietly but seriously. The other one chuckled.

The "prisoners" walked up to the blinding light. The guards followed at pointblank with their guns still pointing at their heads.

Blake tapped Jake on the shoulder twice and winked.

Blake throw his body at the guard next to him with the knife he acquired from the hallway guard. The guard breathed in hard and dropped his weapon. Then Jake flung at his guard pushing the gun away from his head with one hand while the other one flattened and aimed for the neck. The guard reacted swiftly kneeing Jake in the stomach. Jake fell to the ground as Blake flew into the same guard. The guard made a move again by throwing his gun into Blake. Blake dropped his knife and fell to the ground. The guard readied his weapon and took aim for Blake. Jake exploded into action. He kicked the guard right in the knee cap forcing him to fall backwards. Then Blake flew for the fallen knife and grabbed it, and jumped up with amazing speeds. The guard pulled out his knife and tried to get back up. Blake throw his knife into the guard sternum forcing the guard to give up.

"LETS GO! NOW!" Blake hollered

"WAIT!" Jake yelled back as the elevator door opened slowly with 3 guards inside.

One of the guards quickly took aim and shot imminently at Blake. The bullet drilled its way though Blake's left shoulder. Jake took hold of Blake's right arm as Blake began to fall. Blake took 2 steps backwards and fell into the blinding white. Jake's body felt like it had been thrown a million miles per hour. The minute long trip ended with silence. His vision turned 100% black. Jake felt his body slow to a complete stop. Jake didn't feel however was ground. He started accelerating downwards. He his the ground back first, hitting his head hard. Jake went unconscious from the fall.
