Chereads / Mystery Behind The Shadow / Chapter 17 - Someone I know

Chapter 17 - Someone I know

After a long drive, they reached the base where three more people were waiting for them, two dressed in black and another dressed in a soldier's suit. They went outside and started walking towards the gate, the other three people approached General Max.

M: From now on this is your Colonel Axel who will show you around and your room.

Max said and pointed towards Axel (pittbul), turned around and went to his car. Axel approached grabbed Chester by the neck and lifted him up, the difference between them was big.

A: Listen to me, kid, if you won't listen to me and what I'm saying, I'm going to break your bones! Did you understand me!

He yelled and squeezed him even harder, Chester tried to free himself but couldn't

C: Y-yes

He said intermittently trying to breathe. Axel threw him on the floor and kicked him in the stomach, showed the guards who were next to them to pick him up and take him inside.

A: This is your room, you share it with 5 others, but first you go to the doctor first to see if you're not sick or obsessed with drugs and other nonsense. Leave things there and follow me.

Axel said and went out into the hallway, Chester left his bag on one of the beds which was free and he accompanied the colonel who took him to the doctor.

A: Sit here and wait until some doctor calls you.

Axel said and left. Not long after Axel left, a voice was heard shouting from one room.

Dr: Next!

Chester entered the room where the voice came from. After a long check-up and other things, the doctor (bear) looked him in the face.

Dr: What's wrong with your left eye, why are you keeping it closed?

C: You must need glasses to see better. 

Dr: What?!

The doctor said a little angrily.

C: Are you blind and can't see this big fucking scar over? My eye was injured after one school fight, I refused to have it removed. I keep it closed so as not to attract the attention of others.

Chester said and looked at the doctor.

Dr: So you don't see anymore on it, I'd ask those two things.

C: What are those two things?

Dr: First you don't address me like that without respect and second I have to look at your wound, whether you like it or not.

Chester sighed.

C: Normally I always refuse to have someone look, but if I have to.

He removed the hair and opened it looking at doctor.

Dr: Hmm interesting.

The doctor grabbed a small lamp and got too close to look.

C: Is that interesting to you?! Because I'm blind and my eye is red! Everyone when look at me will think I'm some fucking criminal, even worse that I'm a monster!

Chester said angrily and clenched his fist, the doctor sighed and looked at him again.

Dr: It doesn't make you a criminal or a monster, you're what you are and don't let bad things bring you down. Don't pay attention to what other says, go on your way. I read your file and I saw that you're a pretty bad person, but however I see something else in you. Every bad person has a good attitude deep inside, the positive side should only mean how to control their anger and nervousness. You are still young and you have a lot to learn.

Said the doctor and looked at his watch.

Dr: We don't have much time. Unfortunately, you'll have to leave and go to your room.

C: But you still haven't told me what's so interesting about my eye?

Said Chester closing it I again lowered  hair over so it wasn't visible.

Dr: We'll talk another time if there's still time.

The doctor said and left, holding some papers in one hand while he carried his business bag in the other.

Dr: I can't believe that this kid has grown and changed so much. In terms of body and figure, he is in very good condition and quite strong. I'm glad that everything is fine with him.

The doctor said to himself and made his way out of the base. Chester went back to his room and sat on the bed where he had left his things, went to unpack in the closet next to his bed. When he finished he stretched out on the bed and looked up at the ceiling.

C: That bear is somehow familiar to me as if I saw him once, but I'm not sure where. I want to know what he saw so interesting in my eye.

He turned to the other side and grabbed his phone from his bag, he saw a couple of messages. And a message from an unknown number.

C: Hm what is it now.

He started reading the message

?: I'm glad you're alive and well, I don't know how is in the army but I only know you have to watch out for the general. Sorry I can't to introduce myself who I am, that's better for me and you. Know that you always have support from me, wherever you are. love you

Chester was confused and surprised, he turned off the phone and left it in his bag. He got out of bed and went out into the hallway to look for a toilet. After some time and wandering around, he found where the toilet was and went inside, went to the sink and let the water go. He put his head under it to freshen up and wet his hair and face. Not long after, 4 more people came in and stood behind him. Chester didn't know that someone were standing behind him, he raised his head and wanted to look in the mirror. He noticed some shadows behind him, but he couldn't see who was because he got a fist across his face so hard that he hit with  head on the glass behind him and fall on the floor.

C: Ahh what the fuck!

He tried to look up but again received a strong kick to the face, after which they sat a couple more blows to the body as he lay on the floor. After a few minutes they stopped. Chester was breathing softly and blood was coming out of his mouth as well as from his head, he was looking at the floor as drops of blood were falling.

?: What's the matter, you don't know how to defend yourself?

When Chester heard the voice he was stiff.

C: I-impossible to run into you again.

He said and looked up at them...
