felt happiness, completeness, and a sense of love. “Dan, do what you are called on to do, and you will have all that you desire. There will be intense pain physical and mental, and you will be on the brink. But remember you will never fall over into the precipice, you will win, you will succeed.” She stopped and looked off to her left and smiled. “Friends are about to arrive. You will be reunited with her soon. I will need to return you to the pain. I am sorry, but be proud, he could not break you.”
“Will I see you again, Angel?” My voice cracked full of emotion.
She was my little Angel again and stood on the bench holding my face in her hands. “I will never truly leave you. I promise.” With an explosion thundering around me, I was sucked back into my body and pain fell over me like a waterfall.
The door of the room blew open in a flash and men rushed into the room. I raised my head and mumbled through my split lip. “Don’t kill him, we need him.” Brian raised his blacked out face mask and gave me an awkward look. Then swung his right fist into the man’s chest crushing him against the wall where he slid down into a heap.
“He’ll live, I pulled the punch at the last second. He is gonna wish he was dead but oh well.” Another soldier came into the room, flipped the man over and zip-tied his hands and feet.
Brian, came over to me and looked me over. “You look like shit Boss.”
“I’ve felt better. Mind getting me out of here?”
Another soldier came into the room and came right up to me, then raised its facemask. Heaven looked me in the eyes and then smiled. “She was right.” He said cryptically. He then produced a key and proceeded to unlock my shackles.
Brian slid his hands under my arms and held me up. “We need to boogie, so no time to let you walk. I will carry, you brother.” He then lifted me onto his broad shoulders into a fireman’s carry. Someone else grabbed the Librarian’s unmoving form and threw him over their shoulder like a sack of potatoes. More men were in the hallway securing both directions. The two guards from earlier were lying in pools of blood on the floor. We moved quickly down the hallway and into a set of elevators being held open by two more men. Once in the elevator someone jammed a needle into my ass. A relief flooded over me, taking the pain away but allowing me to stay awake.
We stopped at the top floor and exited into a hallway being held by two more soldiers. I tapped Brian’s helmet. “I want to speak with whoever is holding this floor.”
Brian stepped up to one of the soldiers. “Dan wants to ask you something.”
The soldier pulled off their mask and the smiling face of Apache showed. “Yes, sir?”
“Of course you would be here. Did you run into a man dressed exquisitely with rings on his fingers?” I croaked out through the quickly numbing pain.
“Yes, we did. He is over there, hog-tied. Why?” She raised an eyebrow.
“He is near the top of the Culling Initiative. Bring him with.” I said breathlessly.
She smiled her deadly smile and pointed to the man on the floor. Made a hand signal and another soldier walked over picked him up and moved up a stairway to the roof. “Done and done, sir.” She touched my cheek softly then cocked her head listening to her radio. Then at full volume yelled, “Choppers are here, let’s move it!”
Brian moved me slightly as he ran up the stairs and out onto the roof. I looked around for the park bench where I’d sat with Angel earlier, but couldn’t find it. I looked around at the sky and listened, but never heard the rotor beats of the helicopter. Then suddenly one came out of the pitch dark and landed briefly on the roof. Brian loaded me in first belting me in, then climbed in next to me. Apache came next, and a couple of other soldiers climbed on. The door slid closed and we lifted quickly into the air. I figured another one was landing to grab the left over soldiers and prisoners.
