Anderson felt he needed to walk over there and tell give the Daniel fellow a piece of his mind. Or at least, a piece of his shiv. However, there was something much more important to do. He turned to the other fellow that pinned him against the wall remaining by his side. Currently, he was staring at Anderson in amusement, like how a person would watch baboons going at it in a zoo, tilting his head left and right as if to get a better look at Anderson.
“What?” Unable to take it any longer, Anderson questioned with a frown on his face. The way he was staring at him was making him not only feel annoyed for some reason, it was just uncomfortable. The scruffy set of short brown hair and beard, his gold tooth in the canine, and more importantly the look in his eyes. He had a devious looking set of eyes. Like someone who couldn’t wait to turn on you and strike. Like a viper.
“You don’t remember me?” The question was starting to annoy
Anderson turned to look at Felix, the old man with a sneer. He had remained silent the entire time without intervening. That meant if the Sett fellow had attacked earlier, he probably would have sat there silently without doing anything to stop him.“Please calm down. You have to understand, there were so many of us who were brought here on the guise of help. So many who of us who became friends, but are now gone. Sent away never to return, or turned against each other and killed each other. Now, you have become the latest victim. Memory loss. You have to know; you were only gone one day and returned the way you are now.” Felix spoke with a heavy accent. His speech was slow and steady, as if he was struggling to bring out the words.The old man Felix that had remained silent spoke so much. Anderson could see the tiredness in his eyes. He could tell how much the weird situation had affected him. It was unfortunate Anderson did not know how they ‘ticked
“Just walking around. Why, is there any place to go to?” He looked back at her with unwavering eyes. No matter what he was going to deny, deny and deny some more. What was she expecting him to say? ‘I went to a secret meeting to take you down’? Of course not. “Plus, this place is huge, but where is everyone?” Right then, he saw Xavier frown. ‘Shit’. He thought to himself. ‘Did I overstep?’.The room went quiet. Xavier continued to stare at Anderson with her small frown, while Anita continued to sit there with the rebellious ‘I don’t give a fuck about anyone or anything’ look. “You are right. We should be expecting a new shipment of patients soon.” Xavier tapped her forehead lightly with a chuckle and continued, “Silly me, ‘Shipments’ I said. A new batch of patients, is what I meant. And it is all thanks to you, Mr. Anderson.” She finished her statement with her tr
She did not have time to scream as she tried her best to redirect the weapon. She forcibly lifted her pierced hand, which in turn forced the weapon to enter into the side of her face. Anderson and Xavier both fell to the ground with Anderson on top of Xavier. Seeing his attack fail, Anderson did not have time to think about anything else. He quickly pulled out the shiv in one hard yank, tearing a large chunk of Xavier’s face off. He brought down the shiv once more towards her throat but felt a hard grip on his wrist.No matter how hard Anderson tried to bring his wrist down it would not move. He felt a hard pull off Xavier. He did not have to look back to know what had happened. He had missed his opportunity. Anderson tried hard to struggle but all he got was punch to him mid-section. Anderson buckled to the floor as feet and fists rained down on him. Although he was in pain, as the two large men rained down heavy punches on him with an expression of panic instead of th
Anderson watched with furrowed brows as their shaking intensified. Their eyes rolled to the back of their heads with blood oozing from their eyes, mouth, nose and ears. The two men could neither die nor make it end. They had long since lost their voice from all the shouting. The messed-up part was, Xavier stood there watching the whole thing with a smile, not once moving an inch.After what probably felt like months, if not years of torture to the two men, they finally stopped moving. Xavier shook her head in disappointment. “And after I gave you this opportunity. Ungrateful.” She looked angry at the corpses before she walked over to Anderson. He did nothing but stare at her. He did not even know what to feel at that moment. He only lay on the table staring at her without any expression.He no longer knew what to do. He had been strapped in, and no matter ho much he tried, he could not break free. Anderson watched as Xavier walked to him with a savage smile

Anderson’s eyes turned dim. His face became pale. Then again, it could be the blood being drained from him. Xavier turned back to Anderson and saw his expression. She looked to enjoy his look and was content with his state of mind. She walked out of the door, leaving Sett alone with Anderson. Sett pulled out a knife and walked slowly towards Anderson with his smile. At that point, Anderson no longer had the strength to struggle. He had completely given up.Sett was now standing beside Anderson who was looking him straight in the eyes. Anderson wanted to get angry, but what was the point? He wanted to curse out and struggle, maybe, just maybe by some miracle, the restraints would come undone, and he would be able to fight back. Wishful thinking.Anderson could do nothing but stare, or was it half glare back at Sett? He was determined to stare into the eyes of the person who was about to kill him. Although he had no idea where these people came from, he was hoping
A cough woke him up from his thoughts. The person that was laying a distance away was actually not dead. Anderson wobbly walked over. Although a lot of his blood was taken, it was not to the point of incapacitation and he was slowly feeling better, although he was not exactly sure. When they got to him Sett turned over the person. “Oi old man!” It was old Felix. He was in a terrible state. He looked to have been shot several times in the back and just left for dead. It was more surprising that he had not died yet.He looked like he wanted to say something and just kept staring at Anderson. Unfortunately, that was the last of his strength. Old man Felix fell limp, no longer breathing. Sett looked like he was struggling to hold his tears back. Anderson, on the other hand did not feel anything. Whether it was that he had lost his memory or that he truly did not know him, either way, he did not feel any connection to the old man.“Sett. We need to leave.&
“Darling.” Sett faced Xavier with a crooked smile. “The whole place seemed a mess, and I just didn’t want anyone coming to steal your precious research away.” Sett widened his crooked smile and slowly but confidently walked towards Xavier. “We wouldn’t want to lose our ticket out of here.” He finally got to Xavier as she lowered the gun that had been pointed at Anderson the entire time. Sett seeing that, looked at Xavier passionately and leaned in for a kiss.For some reason Anderson was having a bad feeling about the situation. *Bang* *Bang* As if the world was waiting for his unease, two shots suddenly echoed out. Anderson’s eyes widened at the sudden development. With the help of the wall, he weakly picked himself up. He was not about to stick around to find out who shot whom, although he knew very well what just happened.Sett dropped to the ground with a thud. Xavier wiped the blood Sett had coughed unto her li
