I woke up strapped to a hospital bed in a white room with people in white suits and stethoscopes around their necks. The people were all facing away from me by the time I had awakened. There was 1 male African American doctor with a bald head and muscular build, and two female caucasian doctors wearing badges that said
"ROGAN" industries, and had their faces and names on it as well.
The man was mixing a few chemicals together, probably to inject me with.
At this point, I am just thinking about whether I should just act like I was asleep or just try to break out right now. Like any decision, there are always pros and cons, so I have to weigh them both to know if I should really act on my decision and just go with the flow, or try to break out, which will draw unwanted attention and prevent me from ever even getting out of this place.
Two seconds later the man turned around and took a swift look at the women who appeared to be nurses and said…..
"Give him some dexamphetamine and notify me when he wakes up",
"I have some tests to run on him, and he has to be awake", he added.
One of the nurses then opened a cabinet and pulled out the dexamphetamine, while the other pulled out a cotton ball and sterilized my right arm.
While the other nurse was busy putting the drug into a syringe, the other one was wearing gloves while facing away from me.
I then knew that If I wanted to escape, it had to be now, because I didn't know what the heck they were going to put into my body, so I took my hand and tried to slip it out of the straps, but it was way too tight for that. I knew I had to come up with something quick and effective, so I looked around, and didn't find anything that could have helped me escape.
I only had one other option, and it was to play along and wait for them to unstrap me themselves. That didn't mean I was still going to let them put that thing into my body, so I opened my eyes and coughed twice to let them know that I was finally awake. They immediately reacted by pushing a button that seemed to call the doctor notifying him that I was awake.
It wasn't long before the doctor arrived. He seemed untrustworthy and dark in nature. I didn't know if it was because of my perception of the whole situation or if it was just him. He slowly walked closer to me and said…..
"Hello Kai Zaheer, how are you feeling today?"
I obviously didn't reply to that because I was still mad about Mickey and all the other bullshit that was going on.
"Hmm I see that you are still upset, and don't get me wrong, I totally understand if you are."
"So would I if I was in this situation" he added.
He looked at one of the nurses and told her to come and check my heart. The nurse then walked towards me and took off her stethoscope and listened to it as it was beating. She then grabbed a notebook and wrote down some information and showed it to the doctor. He took a quick look at it and said….
"Hmm he seems perfectly healthy, and in good shape",
"I'll be back, but if you want anything, just ask the nurses",
"Yeah actually I do want something"
He turned back and asked….
"What do you want?"
"I want to get unstrapped from this uncomfortable ass bed",
I thought he was going to say something like, "no I'm sorry but we can't do that right now", but instead he just went with it and ordered them to unstrap me. They calmly unstrapped me and went back to what they were doing like nothing even happened. It made me wonder if they really even had any real evil intentions towards me. Or that was exactly what they wanted me to think, so I didn't buy it.
I angrily sat up and didn't say a word until the first nurse offered me some water in a glass cup. I didn't accept the water for obvious reasons, the nurse tried to talk to me and make me feel safe and comfortable, but what she didn't know was that all I wanted to do was elicit information out of her that could have helped me escape, but I wasn't making it too obvious.
"Look I know what this all seems like to you, and I know our process is wrong, but you also have to look at our goal", She told me.
"And what exactly is your goal?" I asked her out of curiosity.
"I can't disclose that kind of information to you just yet"
"My point exactly, if you can't tell me what this is all about, then it has to be something bad", I said.
"I can't tell you until we are 100% sure that you are on board",
"That's understandable" I said in a sarcastic tone.
I understood her point, but I still acted like I didn't just so she could tell me more. I was surprised as to the fact that she still knew that I was just trying to get information from her.
"So do you guys like testing biological weapons on people or something?" I asked.
"No not at all, we only-" then she looked at the other nurse in the room and stopped her sentence.
"Sorry I got to go", she then left the room and returned with the doctor.
"Hello Kai? Are you ready to be released?" the doctor asked me.
"Wait, you can't be serious, you mean that you're really gonna let me out into the real world after everything I've seen?"
"What? No of course not, we definitely can't do that, I meant release you into the facility to roam freely",
"Umm….. sure as long as y'all don't force me to do anything else, I'll be fine",
Then the door opened and we all left the room, and as I was leaving I saw myself in a mirror. I looked generally the same as before, I was still muscular, 6"2, dark skinned, and still had my dreads on. The only thing that was different was the fact that I was in great need of a shower.
Meanwhile somewhere else....
"Do you have the kid with you right now?" The voice of the woman on the phone was angry and scary.
"No General Ash, but we do know that he is with ROGAN industries",
"What!?!, how are we possibly going to get him from there?",
"I don't know, but we do have to get him before he knows who we are",
"Well then what the fuck are you waiting for?!",
"Go!",
She hung up the phone in anger, clenched her jaw, balled up her fists and knocked some books off her desk.
