"Don't play jokes with me" He said, his voice loud and deep. Slowly Queen walked up to him gracefully without an ounce of fear as she continued speaking.
"I know you think you killed him....I mean we all thought you killed him. But he appeared five years ago, and the last I heard he was boasting about putting you in prison." She said as her fingers danced teasingly across his chest.
He caught her hand as he stared deep into her eyes and asked :
"Where's he ?"
Her assistant about to make a move, her other hand up in the air, halting him.
"No idea. But I can assure you that we would give you all you need to find him and get your revenge." She said as she let go of his hand and signaled for her assistant.
"And if you fail to deliver or I find out that you lied , you know what that means ?" He asked as a confident smile appeared on her face.
"Sure. I'm pretty sure the world government doesn't want another world center massacre. " She replied with a wryly smile as Cronos slowly nodded his head before seating on the floor, his legs crossed, forming an X.
"So what do you want me to do ?" He asked in a low tone as he closed his eyes shut.
"Good boy" She muttered under her breathe excitedly, her eyes glowing with lust.
"Firstly, eat my pussy."
He stared up at her with slight irritation on his face, the prison warden and his guard with open mouths; her assistant, unperturbed.
"Fuck off."
Thirty minutes later, the trio of Queen, her assistant and Cronos were on their way to a military air base in a helicopter.
Cronos stared down at the prison, chuckling to himself as he saw the icebergs surrounding the prison.
"It was basically a floating prison" He said to himself as the cold air slapped against his face.
"it's been fucking long" He moaned as he basked in the cold.
An hour later, they touched down at a military base and quickly he was giving some camo fatigue to change into. As he walked behind Queen, alongside her assistants, the soldiers that he passed or saw him coming stood aside as they stared at him with wide eyes. He was huge, possessing a well built body and a hard stare.
"What next ?" He asked as they got into a military car as rhe convoy attached for Queens protection moved out.
"Debriefing." She said as the cars hovered above the ground speeding through the almost empty interstate roads, heading for the capital.
"You said I was the last bionic soldier of my type alive ?. " Cronos asked
"Yes. "
"What happened to the others ?"
"They are all dead "
"All ?"
"Yes all." She replied in a flat tone as he leaned back into the seat, processing the information.
"I know you're a man who has lost a lot of people, a lot of things, but you can start a new. A new life awaits you, a fresh start, a new you." She said as she rubbed his arm lightly.
'She's been touchy ever since we met.' He thought as his thoughts clicked almost instantly, his lips forming a small letter o.
'It must be my big boy' he thought with a slight smile as his eyes met her assistant who was staring at him with a blank expression on his face from the front passenger seat.
"So the deal is I complete missions for you, you provide me all the help I can get to find him."
"No, not only missions but anything I say." Queen said tentatively as she stared him in the eyes.
"I'm not him." Cronos quickly replied her as he pointed at her assistant who quickly responded to Cronos comment.
"The name is Andrew." He said as Cronos showed no iota of care and casually looked away.
Queen chuckled as she stared at her assistant and then Cronos.
"We are here" she replied as the three doors of the vehicle was opened and they all stepped out.
"Nostalgic?" She asked as he stared at the building, still rooted on the spot he came down from the car earlier on.
"Fuck it." He said as he power walked in.
"You must really hate this building ." She laughed out loud after hearing him cursing.
"General Mackville !" Cronos said as he stood infront of the older man in a military decorated uniform and grey hairs on both sides of his head, the middle empty. He gave him a rigid salute.
"At ease soldier...who the fuck brought this brute back from the dead ?! " The old man cursed as he stared at Cronos with slight disgust.
"I see the center of your head is still smooth like that of your concubine, I had the last time...how long was it? twenty years ?" Cronos asked as the man stood up and approached him.
"Hell no, I tasted where you came out from before you did!"
"Oohooh" Cronos said as they both bursted into laughter and held each other in a brotherly hug.
"Fucking Mackville!"
"The devil himself, Cronos!"
They greeted each other as they bursted into laughter, pure joy emanating from their faces as they both checked each other out briefly.
"You not doing badly for a general " .
"And same for you as a prisoner."
They both paused before laughing hard once again like they were the only ones in the room.
"These other folks been finding way to throw me out" Mackville said as he pointed at the three men and the two other women seated, all military officials in their decorated outfits.
Cronos stared at them and nodded as Mackville returned to his seat. Immediately one of the ladies began the meeting as everyone was seated, except Cronos, Queen and her assistant.
"We would be brief about this meeting."
"You have been brought from your life sentence because we consider you useful to the world government, to humanity. That's the only sole reason why you're here, so don't get other ideas when you are on a mission or off mission."
"We tell you what to do. All the missions would be given to your direct superior Queen and as your commanding officer, you would report to her, and she would then in turn, report to us. "
"Is that clear ?" She asked.
Cronos simple nodded his head as the lady stopped speaking and the man next to her pulled out a folder and waved it infront of Cronos before setting it down on the center of the table.
"That's the intelligence report we have gathered about the man , who killed your wife and unborn child.....it would be given to you after you have concluded your first mission."
Cronos nodded as he considered it a fair deal, his mind unable to deal with the fact that the man he thought he had killed when he went berserk was still alive. That all these years he was asleep, his lover killer was still walking free, it irked him to the point he could hear the echo of his heart beat.
"And lastly Cronos, never forget that we own you, the government own you, earth owns you. So whatever we say, you do. If we say kill, you kill without questioning. Is that clear?" One of the aged men asked as he stared deep into the gray eyes of Cronos.
"So you basically saying I'm your lap dog ?" Cronos asked with slight irritation in his voice, unphased by their threats.
"Yes, you're our lapdog and you better get that into your head. "
"C'mon guys, chill out. Give the man a breathing space. " Mackville said in a pleading tone as he turned to his colleagues.
"He lost his right to humanity after becoming a terrorist." One of the women spat out as they all stared at him with looks of one who had bile forced down their throat.
Cronos chuckled as he stared at them and slowly shooked his head.
"Becareful of how you treat your dog, lest you be reminded how dangerous their bite is."
