Chapter 1
“ Someone once told me that there was always another day. I would sit around and consider myself lucky to have another day to do what makes me feel at ease. It’s never easy doing what I do. My job has me…travel a bit. I do the things that nobody wants to do. They fear people, and I don’t. I’m the one they hire to get the inside information. Why do I do it, you ask? I just do it. I can’t explain why. Perhaps there’s no real reason behind it. Perhaps I just haven’t found a reason yet. I can tell you this. If you ask me to drop someone off of the Nectra Bridge at 12 Noon, it will be done. That’s my job. That’s my life,” Seth Donivine said. He sat in an empty room where only a table, 2 chairs, and 2 people were. He was one of the 2 people. The other was a woman about his size. Seth was 5ft5, 140lbs. He had black hair and brown eyes. He had a scar on his left eye that went down from just above his eye, through the middle, and just below his eye. He was a bit muscular though he didn’t really show it. The woman on the other hand was very feminine in a skirt that went down to her knees, and a tank top. She wore her blonde hair in a ponytail and her blue eyes were covered in thin glasses.
“ So is there really a purpose to this meeting?” he asked. She sat up straight. They were getting to the point of the matter.
“ Yes there’s a purpose. I’ve come here for your assistance,” she said. Seth straightened at this statement. He was interested in what she had to say.
“ There’s a crime ring in this city. I want to know what they’re up to. It’s important to a partner of mine. He wanted me to seek you out and hire you for the task of getting information out of the boss, the leader of this crime ring,” she said.
“ I see. Well I’m not going to guarantee this until I know who we’re dealing with,” Seth replied. She picked up her purse and took out a folder. She handed it to him. He took the folder and glanced at her.
“ Is this everything?” he asked.
“ Not everything. Information is classified. That was the best I could get,” she replied.
“ I’m going to take a crack and guess that this man is very popular,” Seth commented. She nodded her head. Seth took a glance at the folder. This interested him.
“ I’ll take the job,” he said. She smiled a bit but he didn’t catch it. When he looked up she was serious looking.
“ Thanks for the acceptance. I hope you can do your best,” she said.
“ That’s all I do,” Seth commented. He shook her hand and they both stood up. They walked down a hallway to the landing platform where their cars were. Seth’s car was a Dodge Decoder. It was a black metallic car that was sleek and thin for speed. The anti gravity jets were under the car. He got into his car and turned it on. He noticed she had done the same. Her car pulled out and left soon after. Seth sat there thinking for a minute. This wasn’t his usual situation. He looked at the city around him. The buildings were high into the clouds. The cars flew above him and the trucks flew bellow him. This was a 2-vent system. A vent meant that the trucks got their own air lanes while the cars got another lane. The top lane went to cars and they were pre-programmed that way when they were made. It was the same with the trucks. Seth then glanced at his car’s steering equipment.
“ Take me home at 55 mph,” he said. The car turned on and left the docking bay. It drove through the traffic and into the car lane.
Other cars were similar if not in the same color. Seth liked the colors. There was brown, green, blue, and even pink. Sometimes Seth liked pink. It told him that a girl was driving the car. Seth’s car stopped at a stoplight. After all these years Seth still thought it was interesting how the A.I of a car knew all this. And thinking of info, Seth began to read over the information that he had been given. It turns out that the man he would be talking to be a man he knew a lot about. CarnaRaptor as he was called was a tough man. CarnaRaptor was the man who had killed 5 cops in 2 cars with 1 single missile. He had fired the missile at one car, but when it fell it had hit another cop car instantly destroying the roof and killing the 2 cops inside. The first cop car had held 3. One of them happened to be Seth’s girlfriend. Seth was a registered mercenary and his girlfriend had usually been the one to hire him for work. The cops loved working with him and that’s honestly how he had met her. But that was 2 years ago and Seth wanted revenge. Now he could get that revenge.
“ Hmm. Well I’m definitely going to get some good information,” he said to himself. The car flew through the air. He thought about something for a few minutes. He was hungry.
“ Reset directions. McDonalds, 35mph,” he said. The car stopped and slowed down while rewriting directions, and speedup again to 35mph on a lesser airway while heading to the new destination.
3 miles away, in an apartment complex just below the clouds, the woman’s car stopped in a garage. She got out of the car slowly. The garage was a simple one like we see today. It simply had more space to it than the usual garages. She walked to the roof where she could easily put her hands in the clouds. This was also a dangerous place as lightning could easily strike this place. That’s why it was abandoned 3 months after it was built. The builders were being killed by lightning strikes. They dare not try to blow it up or people would die below when chunks fell. She smiled as someone walked up to her.
“ Your lucky there’s no storm today,” she said. “ Meeting here is very risky.”
“ I know but it was the only place cops wouldn’t dare go,” he said. The man wore a tuxedo and a hat. He was the typical gangster if you didn’t know any better. He took her hand.
“ Come with me now my sweet and we will have fun tonight,” he said. She graciously let him lead her to his car and the piloted off in what seemed like a white limousine.
Chapter 2
After eating lunch, Seth had decided to go home. His car stopped at a house in the suburbs. Seth had an old-fashioned house that seemed to have survived all the years since the older days. Seth wondered how things have changed since then. He had read about the times in school. Seth now took a glance toward the pond across the street. It was where he always read his books. It gave him a sense of peace. He loved this area. Everything else was too damn new compared to his home and he loved it. He walked up to his house and unlocked the door with his laser-key. The laser was like a laser we see at toy stores, accept it was focused with a chip that opened specified doors. The buttons were also sensitized so that only the owner can use it. Any thief would not be able to push the button. Seth walked into the house, which had 2 stories and 3 bedrooms. The kitchen was located near the dining room on the first floor and his bedroom was on the second floor. The garage was to the left of the house. The car had auto-parked itself there by now. The room in which he was in now, the living room had a television next to the window looking out onto the pond. A chair was situated directly in front of the television. It was most interesting to see his house after 2 months out. Seth laid the folder on a nearby table and went into his bedroom. There he changed into shorts and a t-shirt. His bedroom was quite nice. There were 2 windows, one facing his back yard, which looked larger than it’s size. And the other looked out onto the neighbor’s house. The windows had beautiful sea colored curtains. His bed was near that window. A night table was set beside the bed and had a lamp. Another television was set in front of the bed so he could watch a show before nodding off. Seth sat on his bed for a minute. He took a glance around the room. Everything seemed to be in place. He then took a bag out from under his bed. It was something interesting. He took an object out of the bag. It was a bit of a hat. Little wires whirled around the helmet like item. He put it on his head and lay down. He fell asleep just a second later.
A dark night. The skyscrapers of the city are tall. 3 cop cars are on patrol. Maria Martin wore her police uniform quite well. She was one of the prettiest policewomen on the squad. Standing at 5ft6, 125lbs, with blonde hair, she was absolutely gorgeous. Her partner tonight was Chris Cline. Chris was one of her elderly workers. He tended to help her out on patrols like these. They were looking for someone. Their police car was like the ones we usually saw on the streets of the 1990s. But tonight was a bit stressful. Maria was looking for a criminal. She glanced down at the streets. At night the lampposts showed the streets quite brightly. Buildings caused the areas of shadow. The buildings, she noticed were too modern for her taste. She liked old-fashioned homes like the one her boyfriend Seth had.
“ Not too much happening,” her partner Chris said.
“ No. It’s making me nervous,” she replied. Chris glanced at her.
“ He hasn’t proposed has he?” Chris asked. She blushed just a bit.
“ Oh. When’s the special day?” he asked her with a smile.
“ Within a year today,” she replied.
The 2 squad cars piloted through a turn when a rocket shot right at them. It was headed right toward the bottom car. Luckily Maria caught sight of it and dodged to the left. The rocket shot past them and exploded, knocking the squad cars around a bit with the shockwave from the detonation.
“ That came from Kentra Bank!” a voice boomed over the radio speaker.
“ Lock and load,” Maria commanded. The guns appeared from the front of the squad cars and they fired plasma shots. Another rocket shot right toward them. This time it went right above them and shot into a building. The rubble from the explosion hit the cars relentlessly. One of them hit the back window causing it to dent inward on Maria’s car.
“ We’re not hitting this guy,” she said.
“ Or guys,” Chris replied. He typed in some keys. He tried to identify the shooter. Nothing was coming up.
“ He may have a dodger device,” Chris commented. A dodger device was simply a device that kept you from being identified by a cop car’s radar. Suddenly a rocket went right for the top car. It was a direct shot toward the car; no way they could dodge it in time…
Seth woke up with a start. He took a glance at his watch. It was 9:00 in the morning. He had sleep the entire afternoon and night away. He took the device off, got out of bed and went into his bathroom. The sink, toilet and shower were automated. Whenever he took a shower, he just got naked, walked in, and the shower would automatically start. The sink was the same way, he’d put something under the faucet and it’d start. The toilet was the same. It had a visual aid. The aid knew when he was finished and it auto-flushed. Seth took his hands under the faucet and washed his face. He looked at himself in the mirror. The mirror formed a small face at the bottom.
“ You look freaky,” said the mirror.
“ I look freaky too,” Seth replied.
“ Having those nightmares again?” the mirror asked.
“ As always,” Seth replied.
“ Maybe you should stop using that one device. It can give people terrible nightmares,” the mirror suggested.
“ Since when did you become a psychiatrist?” Seth asked.
“ Since I was installed,” the mirror said jokingly.
“ Since you’re A.I, take care of the house for me using the droid. I’ll be gone again,” Seth said.
“ Another mission?” the mirror asked.
“ This is the one. I feel it. I’m working with him Androy,” said Seth.
“ I hope you don’t lose your mind then,” Androy said.
“ He deserves what he gets,” Seth commented.
“ And why don’t you take the droid with you?” Androy asked.
“ She is a house droid, not a risk taker,” Seth answered.
“ Very well,” said Androy. Seth then got clothes for the day, got undressed, and took a quick shower. Afterward Seth ate some breakfast in the dining room. He was ready for a brand new day. It was time to find someone who can help him get into a gang. Seth grabbed his hat, laser-key, and walked out of the door. He clicked a button on his laser-key and the car pulled out to the front of the house. He got into the car.
“ Jay’s Fast Cash shop. 45mph,” Seth said. The car began to rise into the air and then sped off toward the place.
Chapter 3
Jay Mercer was a man of ignorance. He was brown haired, a little chubby, and he wore brown clothing a lot. His shop overlooked New Brooklyn. It was an area that was built over the ruins of old Brooklyn when WW3 knocked it out with a nuke. Luckily the radiation was sucked out and they were able to rebuild. The shop was in itself quite interesting. Jay pawned items and he sold items. Today was Jay’s anniversary sale. Jay walked up toward the front of his store. He took in the fresh air. He glanced down and saw a car headed up to his shop. Jay smiled just a bit, ready for the upcoming customer. Then he recognized the car. He walked back to his cashier spot. The car stopped and a man got out. He opened the door. It was Seth. Seth glanced around the shop.
“ Hello Jay, long time,” he said. Jay shrugged.
“ What can I say, it’s business as usual,” Jay commented. He got up from his cashier spot. “ What can I help you with?” Seth glanced toward him.
“ You can give me some information,” Seth replied.
“ What type of info?” Jay asked.
“ Oh you know. CarnaRaptor’s last known whereabouts. How I can get into his gang,” Seth answered.
“ You know I don’t know,” Jay said.
“ Of coarse you do. You work for the man,” Seth commented.
“ How did you know?” Jay asked a bit nervously.
“ I didn’t. You just confirmed it,” Seth replied.
“ Look I’m not supposed to tell anyone,” Jay said. A car passed by the store. Jay walked toward the front door. He glanced out of the door. He noticed the car stop and drive backwards toward the front of the store.
“ Oh shit!” he said and ducked out of the way just as 2 people began shooting at the shop with plasma guns. Seth jumped out of the way as the fire rocketed the shop. The plasma bullets shot through glass, wall, and crystal. Seth got up just as the fire ended. He grabbed a pistol from one of the racks and walked out of the shop. He aimed the gun at the car and fired 3 times into the back, where the computer was.
“ Buy freaks,” he said as he charged a shot up. They began to drive away when he shot big plasma bursts at the computer system. The back of the car blew up and they fell to their deaths 40 feet below. He turned to Jay. He walked in and grabbed Jay by the neck. He pointed the gun toward Jay’s head.
“ What the fuck was that about?” he asked. “ And don’t lie.” Jay simply wet his pants.
“ They want us out of the city,” he said.
“ Why?” Seth asked.
“ They think we did something very ignorant,” Jay replied.
“ Well you do a lot of things ignorantly,” Seth commented. He leg go of Jay. “ You might want to clean your pants.” Jay walked in the back. Seth put the gun on a table and sat down for a bit. He wasn’t watching the door. A woman walked in and took a look around. Seth turned as soon as he sensed her in the room. He glanced at the woman with quick interest. She was about 21, 120lbs. Quite thin, 5ft5. She was gorgeous. She had black hair, and brown eyes.
“ Some place you have here Jay. Redecorating?” she asked. Jay came out of the back with some new pants on.
“ Uh nah. Look we have to talk to CarnaRaptor. This message thing with those freaks is getting a little too out of control. This guy here blew up the car in 2 bursts from a plasma gun,” Jay said pointing to Seth. She glanced at Seth who was now just looking confused.
“ Seth this is Alanna Morgan. She’s CarnaRaptor’s right hand chick,” Jay said. Seth and Alanna shook hands. She noticed how firm his grip was.
“ You seem interesting,” she said.
“ You seem interesting as well,” Seth replied. She smirked. She turned to Jay.
“ I hope you have a good reason for calling me here,” she said. Jay pointed to Seth.
“ He wants in,” he said. She chuckled a bit.
“ He wants in?” she asked, obviously amused by the statement.
“ You saw what he could do. Can you arrange a meeting with CarnaRaptor for him?” Jay said.
“ I wasn’t here to see it. But I’ll take your word for it and see what I can do,” she replied. She then shook Seth’s hand again.
“ Have a nice day,” she said as she left. “Bye Dr. Grant.”
“ She called you Dr. Grant?” Seth asked.
“ She watches too much Jurassic park,” Jay replied.
