weapon; we need to dispose of him. We could make this virus into something special rather than a weapon.’
    The group begin to nod and chirp, ‘Yes!’
    Sarah’s head lifted up from her bended neck position and stared at the man. ‘Yes! Yes, you are exactly right!’ Sarah pushed herself up and walked over to him. ‘Who are you? What’s your name?’
    ‘I’m Lee Reichwein, nice to meet you.’ Lee said and he shook Sarah’s hand. He had a tight grip.
    ‘Err Sarah… Miller is about to make an announcement,’ a grey bearded man said, tapping his small black radio.
    ‘Turn it up Ed.’ Sarah said.
     
     
      ‘Mum… Mummy… Mum wake up.’ Jerome whispered as he shook Sadie’s shoulder.
    ‘Ugh, what baby?’ Sadie whispered.
    ‘Miller’s making an announcement,’ Jerome said, still shaking her.
    Sadie opened her eyes and sat up. ‘How do you know baby?’
    ‘I heard it on the radio, can’t sleep,’ Jerome sighed.
    ‘Oh baby, it’s okay. Good boy for waking me up though,’ Sadie said as she brushed her knitted cardigan aside.
    ‘Danni, Miller’s making an announcement,’ Sadie said.
    ‘I heard Jerome tell you. Wake everyone up; we need to prepare for what’s to come.’
    ‘What do you mean?’ Sadie asked.
    ‘Well, Miller making an announcement, it can’t be good,’ Danni said and shrugged. ‘I’ll get Enzo.’
    Danni ran down the corridor to Enzo’s door. She knocked. After the second knock, Enzo stood at the door fully clothed.
    ‘I wonder what Miller wants.’ Enzo said.
    ‘You care to come to our room and listen with us, to prepare?’
    ‘Sure.’ Enzo said shutting the door behind him.
     
     
    As Miller stepped up onto the stage under the Waterloo clock, he was tugged back by one of his elite humans.
    ‘Sir, there were gun shots heard within the tunnels, should we investigate?’
    ‘I think that’s probably best; send two men down to search the tunnels.’ Miller said.
    ‘Yes sir.’
    ‘One more thing, I want you to be deputy of the elite army and the successor to my assistant Jonny. If he was to unfortunately die, you would replace him.’
    ‘Yes sir, thank you.’
    ‘Wait… You remind me of somebody I used to work with. Can I call you Smith?’
    ‘Yes sir.’
    ‘Brilliant. Good work Smith. Don’t let anyone disrupt me on stage. If there’s any trouble, kill them immediately, do not hesitate.’
    ‘Yes sir.’ Smith said as he walked up on stage.
    Miller followed Smith and as he stared out onto a large crowd, he raised his hands into the air to catcalls from the people below him.
    ‘Welcome everyone; I’m glad you could make it so late at night or should I say so early this morning. It is just past two a.m. and I am speaking to all of you present in Waterloo and everyone one of you who are listening to this on whatever frequency you are connected to. This announcement means that I have the opportunity to introduce to you my elite humans.’
    Miller placed his hand on Jonny’s shoulder. ‘This is Jonny; he was brought back from the dead. This man was dead for days rather than hours, but this in my hand,’ Miller said as he pulled out a small glass of dark green liquid. ‘This brought him back to life. He’s fully functional; he is physically stronger and smarter. This man can now live a long life. These other men on stage with me are volunteers, they wanted to be changed; they wanted to join the elite army to live a better life, would all you agree, men?’ Miller asked as he looked to each of the bald men surrounding him.
    ‘Yes sir!’ they bellowed.
    Miller looked out onto the crowd and smiled.
    ‘I could change you all right here, right now. You could all become part of the elite army; you could all grow physically and mentally. Let me welcome Laura Dupry onto the stage.’ Miller clapped as Laura stepped up onto the stage.
    ‘Laura was a pathetic human only a few hours ago, but now she’s elite. Look, she’s kept her hair, unlike these guys, but her
