Victor stared at the ground. He currently was contemplating how or what, mainly why things like this happen to him. It was almost as if he was cursed with bad luck.
"You ready to talk boy."
"I told you I don't know anything!"
The man smirked "well we just don't buy your story. A ghost? Why don't give us a story we might actually believe."
"Look I have no idea why Marco isn't hanging around or why you think it was me who ruined the hospital but I was just trying to survive and help people."
"You promise you just want to help people?"
"Yes, that or protect them from hurting other people." Victor shuddered. "Must be cold in hear" he mumbled to himself.
"Look I believe you have no idea what's going on, but officer Taber, we believe you've come in contact with and experimental strain of something the boys cooked up in a lab. You shouldn't be moving right now."
Indignant and a little shy at knowing it's so true,"What do you want from me?"
"We want your help." sighing and looking out the prison window. "You see the strain has gotten out and has affected specific people differently. Making super soldiers... Victor, will you help us regulate 'em?"
"Yes." shudder
"You'll need to go through certain procedures and in a week you shouldn't be contagious. Let's begin your training."
"But-" Victor bit his lip... he couldn't be away at this time his boy-
Seeing Victors hesitancy "Victor you promised to put this country ahead of yourself didn't you."
"Yes" shudder
"Don't worry, your son will be safe, if not it's all off... we know a little about your situation. What we're suggesting should give you more time with your boy. You're good with that right."
"Yes" shudder.
"Well I got to leave, will you stay hear till the quarantine in over?"
"Yes sir." Shudder
"Well I got to go, but officer Taber, but keep a stiff upper lip."
--- behind the one way glass
"Its amazing every once in a while the readings go off the chart."
The burly man that Victor was talking to walks into the room. "Status"
"Sir this is no ordinary situation. There seems to be a sort of self replicating protein that may have helped with the accelerated healing. We can replicate it but the-"
"The what Dr.?"
"You see sir, his body seems to mess with every known energy and drain it from the electricity from his brain. If the trimmers continue the way they have been he will die." 7:00pm
---back in the cell
Victor hit the wall. Thats what's been going on. The virus has been giving me all the jitters. Possibly even the hallucination of Marco the loss of memory. "I just want my family back" Victor held in the tears, he knew he was being monitored. Though he lost his cool and punched the wall. "Jerry I wish you died by a freak accident!"
---back at the ice cream store
Night rolled around.
And Marco slowly came back into focus. "Yawn! so Johnson what you want to be when you grow u-" Looking around Marco saw a terrified janitor and some ice cream patrons gone ghostly wight. "crap..."
---Johnson.
A little miffed his dad left him, "Probably on another mission." He distracted himself in the usual way. Video games hanging out with Rain. Then it was about 6:30pm when cousin Jerry wanted to pick me up and go someplace nice, just me and him. he probably was going to talk about my dad.
"Rain had cool powers, why can't I" in Rains bathroom Johnson talked to himself. though as he thought about it he only would want powers like that to distract himself from his situation. One his situation with his family and the unrequited love he had for Rain. "just friends, and now she's been hanging out that Jock." Life was really sucking for Johny. "If I have powers I just wish I knew what they were!"
M.B. "You ok in there?"
"Yeah" A flood of information soaked into Johnson's head
"Your-" not quite to call his cousin with out offense "guardian is here."
