Chereads / A world without love / Chapter 19 - Capture

Chapter 19 - Capture

Some time has passed since Noah left Rose, walking throughout the city he cannot help but be bewildered, there is no noise pollution unlike the cabin, no bird's chirping or leave's rustling, just the hum of ventilation and the sound of people walking and muttering. The people, dressed very similarly, walk in an orderly fashion, few people seem to take notice of Noah's clothes, except the few who slightly glance, that is all though, a passing glance, they have work to think about. Thinking too himself he doesn't know where to go, the only direction he has is to the museum using the map. Opening the map he attempt's to find anything that would be of use, a hotel, anything. A minute passes until he finally find's one nearby, he just need's to get some housing for the night then he can explore. Following the map he take's multiple turn's, walking through different street's until he finally reaches it. Looking up he doesn't see any difference compared to the other building's. Grey, tall, dull, boring and stale. Entering the building he head's to the receptionist. "Morning, please can i rent a room for the night?" he request's. "Yes, the room will be accessible when your card is read, and you will need to depart it by 8am tomorrow, if you would like the room please swipe your card along the reader" The receptionist respond's, thinking to himself Noah drop's his bag opening the front pocket pulling out a card, remembering a conversation with Rose, the can use a card as payment as it has detail's already set up, quite vague but good enough for him. Swiping the card it make's a light buzzing sound as the receptionist hand's over the key to the room. "Thank you" Noah said as he walk's away to find his room. Moving throughout the corridor's he finally find's the right door. Entering his room he begin's to unpack what he want's to leave in the room. Leaving the room Noah head's past the receptionist waving goodbye closing the door behind him beginning his exploration of Transmission Prime.

It started as a normal day, sat behind the desk doing my job, key for the building to run, key to uphold order. I've checked multiple people in and out the hotel today, as i normally would. However, someone came in, wearing, politely, unprofessional clothes, and he seemed rather radiant, i don't know how to explain it. He requested a room so i went through the procedure, inform him of the room he will get and if he want's to follow through with renting it. He does, i watched him place his bag down to get the card, another weird thing, everyone has their card in their pocket so they can quickly grab it, furthermore when the detail's came through i knew something was off, they included none of the code's that we have to look out for. This is when i knew i had to report the situation, so i did. I gave him the card so he held no suspicion and a few minute's later he came back down and left, waving. 

Striding down the street's i've found some knew place's that i want to go to, so i'm heading there now. I have noticed an increase in humming though, gazing around i notice nothing out the ordinary except a few extra drone's, but i presume they are just for delivering material's or smaller parcel's. Looking forward i do notice something, men, in mask's, striding in formation, that's cool, stepping out the way in plenty of time i look away. Just as i am about to pass them one of them step's infront of me. "Hello" i murmur. Hearing the sound of movement around me i notice i am surrounded. Feeling a sharp pain in my neck i try to turn around only to feel a darkness embrace me. 

His body lay on the bed, machine's hooked up to him, doctor's surrounding him, monitoring any reaction to any change in his vital's. "The government has said to go ahead" A voice states from a radio, doctor's move out of the room leaving just two inside, walking to a cupboard one of them take's out a box and open's it on the side. Carefully taking out a vial she turn's to the other doctor "It will be interesting to see any side effect's of the new drug, especially because this one is such a high dosage to ensure his memory is wiped" The other doctor walking over with a needle to extract the liquid from the vial whilst replying "Yes, that is true, we have had few human test's that have been, rather unsuccessful." Finishing extracting the liquid as the needle fill's to the brim the doctor walk's to the body on the bed inserting the needle and injecting the liquid. "Time to leave him, it will be around an hour before he wake's by then he will be in the controlled environment room for when he wake's." 

My head hurt's, it is banging, it feel's like i my head is being shook, my vision blurry and discoloured. Sitting up in fright i try grab anything only to find nothing. Falling back down i lean back to try let my eye's adjust, i am unsure of how long has passed but i cannot feel anything, and my eye's can see a bit better, but they do not seem to be getting the full colour back. Turning to the side i notice a glass of water, grabbing it i chug it, i can't even feel it on my lip's or in my mouth. Then a shattering sound hit's my ear's, the door open's with a bang as i look over seeing people walk in. My hearing seem's to have been amplified somehow, it is horrible, it hurt's, what has happened to me. "We are glad you are awake Dr Wilson, you suffered torture at the hand's of a malicious organisation and they seemed to have been attempting forced human genome change, thankfully we were able to revert your physical change back however everything else we are unable to do so." What? What organisation, i have a massive blip in my memory, is that then, did they use some kind of drug to block my memory of what happened, that is the only reasonable conclusion, surely. "Ho-" Fuck that hurt's, my voice rebound's through my body. Talking a lot slower this time whilst gritting my teeth i begin. "How long was i out for?" Watching some people leave the room one of them speak's out. "It will all be told to you in the meeting in half an hour, be there at room A7"
