That was a false start. A lie. It all started about 3 weeks before. Hell it all started when I was born. It just court up to me that day. I was at the local shopping center with some friends. Funny how life works one day you’re at home thinking what your gunna do with your life then the next fate grabs you it can drag you down or it can make you feel like the most important person in the world. There's not much to see in this town unless you know where to look but when you do see it you wish you hadn't. So when you see a cop that looks nerves like he's got an important job to do, you wonder what’s happening. Usually it’s nothing important just someone making trouble but the look in his eyes told me that this was different. He was looking for someone. I didn’t care. I’d hear about it from everyone when it’s over.
“Wonder who he’s looking for” I said to my brother
“Probably you”
“Yeah there’s a law against been me”
“Wouldn’t doubt it”
“I’ll be back in a sec... you want a drink?”
“Narr I’m good”
“No your shit”
I was about half way across the room when he grabbed me. Guess he found who he was looking for. He dragged me out the fire exit.
“Are you arresting me?”
“No”
“Then what am I doing here?”
“Calm down Stephen”
“How do you know my name?”
“I know a lot about you, your name is Stephen North and your 17 years old”
He told me where I have lived and where I live now. How did he know this stuff?
“Listen I don’t have all day to explain this to you”
“Explain what”
“I’ll give you a quick run down. When you where born the government put what are called nanites in you at the moment there just reproducing blood and I’m here to activate there better options”
“Yeah like?”
I was humouring him maybe someone saw him drag me out here
“Well that’s for you to find out”
He pulled out what looked like a barcode scanner and waved it over my arm.
“There done just so you know you’re now near invariable. It’ll take a hell of a lot to kill you now”
“Are you insane?”
“I get that a lot”
Then he pulled out a gun and shot me right between the eyes. I went down. They say that when you’re on your “death bed” you see your whole life flash before your eyes I didn’t see my life I saw a girl standing out the front of a house there was a street sing I could make out the address. When I “woke up” it was dark and I was in a pool of my own blood with a gun on my chest. It was a custom desert eagle with “SN” on the handle. Thank god it was dark makes it easier to get home with out people seeing me. But I didn’t go home. There was a reason I saw her and that house and I was going to find out. I thought maybe I made the whole thing up in my head and she doesn’t live there. When I got there she was standing out the front waving to a car that was leaving. Her name is Mandy I’d only meet her a few times before but I knew there was a reason I’d seen what I did. I waited till she went in side then went and knocked on the door. Coincidently the first time I meet her she saw me covered in blood.
“What happened to you?”
I had a feeling of Déjà vu
“Bleeding nose”
She didn’t believe me she didn’t say so but she didn’t need to
“You can come in and clean your self up”
“Thanks Mandy” I said as she led me to the bathroom
No wonder she didn’t believe me my face was completely covered in blood.
I cleaned up as quick as I could she was waiting for me when I finished
“How do you know where I live?”
“I didn’t just lucky the first door a knocked on was someone I’ve meet”
I could guess the next question so I answered before she asked
“You wouldn’t believe me hell I wouldn’t believe me”
“Try me”
“I was shot”
“Where I don’t see a wound”
I put my finger between my eyes. She didn’t believe me.
“See I told you”
I told her what happened
“So some one activated these nanites in your blood then shot you”
“Yeah”
“You’re crazy”
“Maybe I am”
There was a long silence
“So what are you going to do now?”
“Stay out of trouble and try to find as much out about this as I can”
There was another long silence
“Just promise me you’ll ring me if you find anything out”
“I thought I was crazy”
“Just promise me”
“I promise”
For some reason she had believed me.
And for some reason she cared…..why?
