Crisis Of Conscience
The doctor looked back at Charlie after attending to his hurt
face. He went back again. He just kept looking out to sea.
"I-," he stopped. Charlie just kept looking at nothing. The doctor
kept looking back.
"That's one sorry man." Said sawyer.
"Yes, Clair keeps watching him."
"What did she say?"
"Nothing."
"Jin and his wife tried talking to her. Nothing."
"It's not good when people get quiet like that." He saw Hurley.
"Hurley, come on Dude, ya gotta keep trying." Hurley shrugged his
shoulders. She went by him motion him to follow.
"Enjoying that?"
"Yes, I'd like to see Hurley get something outa this island. He's
really a kinda innocent type. Just needs encouragement."
"Wish you were like that?"
"Innocent, ya, got something in my brain that keeps nagging at me.
At my conscience."
"Know the feeling."
"Doc,"
"I don't know, they both won't talk to anyone."
"Locke, what's the story?"
"Nope, she's not talking. Baby's so quiet you'd think she understood
what happened."
"What did happen?", asked Jin.
"He said, What did happen?", repeated his wife.
Locke spoke,
"Drugs affect one's thinking. I saw it in people when I was younger.
It disrupts reason."
"I've noticed that as a doctor. Normal pathways of transmission,
altered by drugs are blocked. They trick the brain so that even after
a person stops, the same processes of thought one had while on drugs
continue."
Kate,
"So, he still thinks like he's on drugs."
"Yes."
"That explains the paranoia,' Said Anna, "I've seen many a stoner,
they can see cops come through solid walls." They all laughed.
But Charlie wasn't laughing. He could have drowned the baby.
He was not even sure why he did it. The minister could have baptized
him.
"Could I baptize her myself? Just wanted to dunk my head lifting her
above the water. Just wanted her to go to heaven before I..."
He started to write a poem. As he was writing he remembered a
song from the collection of old records his Uncle had left him. It
was a song by the rock band Transtasis. He loved the older bands.
He told Hurley,
"They could play epics, they wouldn't let us play like that. Today
they want short songs, but epics, man, its like reading a novel when
you listen to their material. Its like Mahler or Sibelius."
He thought of the lyrics, he was feeling so down from what happened
before. And Clair.
"She does't love me. I...love her," he started to wipe the tears from
his eyes. He started to sing the lyrics, '
Finally a new day born
Waiting for her soon not forlorn
Together in time beyond to infinity
Here is our home no longer stranded alone*
He did not think anyone was there, Michael had asked what he was doing.
"Writing a song." And he left. However Clair was behind him, she wanted
to speak but didn't. Clair's face was angry but closed her eyes,
turned and left.
" 'Wait here ...' ". He thought of the guitar at the beginning of
the finale. He loved the guitarist's work. "Imagine, a single note from
this guy and you start to cry." He was sorry for the fire. He was sorry
for taking the baby. "Clair must hate me now. The looks on their faces
They all hate me." He felt like the loneliest man on the island. And he
wrote:
When at last I am at rest
And my bones are gently laid
I will not see what gives unrest
Faithful tears fall in the grave
But I will rise to hear their calls
The Lord himself will save
My voice again heard by all
The Lord himself they'll praise
Finally, he felt such disdain for what he did he wrote a
suicide note to Clair:
"Clair,
I know I've hurt you
honestly, I love the baby,
I love the you. But I can't go on
without..I, your not with me.
You didn't tell me you
you didn't love me but I know it.
Now, there is no point. I've
thrown my chances away.
So I am going to the edge of the
cliff...you know where.
Farewell,
Charlie.
He was crying. He left the note in the baby's crib when she
wasn't looking.
Locke saw him,
"Charlie, look, we're just worried about the baby, its not you
--we didn't know what you were doing."
"Dude," said Hurley.
"Charlie," said Kate.
"Leave him alone," said Sawyer. "He'll come out of it."
Jin and his wife asked where he was going.
Saayd just watched.
It was morning and the Minister thought it would be a good idea
to give a memorial for the dead on the island.
"I want to remind everyone of what we have lost, maybe, that will
bring him to his senses."
"That's a good idea," said the policewoman. It will give a
reality check about the sanctity of life. You can't go into
rough water with a baby."
Clair was still silent, she watched him walk up the hill side.
She looked at Kate and Sawyer who went to the baby.
"Char...," she said but only wispered it.
"Char...," she tried again. She followed as far as the start of
the path but stopped. She turned back.
Sawyer said to Kate,
"Man, aint love a..."
Hurley,
"I'm getting bummed out man."
His girlfriend hooked her arm around him without realizing it.
"Atta boy!", said Sawyer quietly.
Kate looked at him and smiled.
"Isn't love a...I thought you said you were never in love."
"Na, just said that cause I didn't want to talk about it."
Jin argued with his wife about going up to Carlie.
"No," she said, "No one interferred with us."
"Come on," he said hurriedly, "with his mind set, who knows. I
don't think he's going to look at the sea up there."
The Other with the beard went by. He wondered about Walt.
Just before he went by he watched in silence as Michael and
Saayd followed Charlie. They wanted to keep an eye on him.
Meanwhile, Charlie was moving slowly. He remembered all the
fans he had met in his life. Images of people getting his autograph.
Kate and Sawyer, Hurley, they all had been at his concerts. Now he
remembered where he saw Locke, putting boxes away in a truck with
some of the roadies talking to him. That's where I knew them from."
Having dinner at posh hotels. Women following him. His fall
out with his brother.
All the synopsis for movies, tv, ideas for concerts he came up
with that someone said he didn't write. In order to prove he did
come up with ideas...he wrote down which ones influence these
projects, then he could not find what he wrote after searching
for hours. Then they had it in for him
thinking he was a conartist. The avalanch of criticism for it. With
all that pressure compromised himself and said he didn't write
afterall.
For that material he said,
He never received anything for it --"art is a gift from God, it has all
been for free."
The fall out over a drug overdose that nearly killed an investor,
a friend of his, which he got the blame for. The drugs he bought
contained something lethal the chemist had accidentally put into it.
Someone made a threat by email using his name he would kidnap the baby
of the investor.
After that all the rumours, even his brother denounced him.
Then everyone hated him. Magazine and tabloids, internet sites, showed
him in every unflattering way. Hate messages showed up in his email.
There was someone who defended him who he was very grateful to.
Realizing it was all slipping away from him he wrote:
I have let the work of my mind drop through
as if in my hands amber holding in its golden
grip diamonds melted onto a floor full of
holes leading to some depth where they
are irretrievable...
They took his name out of all the credits.
At that point in time he went to the highway, near an overpass
bridge at night. Watching the lights on the trucks; bright stars
flashing by. Putting his foot in front ready to run into their path.
He wanted to die.
No one was going to pray for him like every man woman and child in
the world praying for saving from Armeggedon. Or for the astronauts
when it was feared they would not make it back to earth from an early
mission.
He could see the plane falling, everyone desparately trying
to hang on. Everyone falling in the air people, grasping at imaginary
ropes. Babies and children falling crying screaming. After falling
it was like a scene from a war. Burning, he felt the sea on fire.
The gas smell even in the water. The severed bodies, the blood,
liquified flesh burning.
Oil, he remembered swiming through blackness
his eyes full of it, oil and floating debris. The hurt
moaning souls praying. He remembered the Doctor pulling bodies out;
he remembered Clair holding the baby above the water. The people
lying there gasping holding their heads. One man had to cut somebody's
arm off to free it from the death grip around his neck. That
person may or may not have been dead.
He felt all alone. He was at the gates Of hell,
his mind was all delirium!
His anger, his then unforgiving hate. The plane crash. And, now,
without the love of Clair. Way down there...
His foot pushed some of the rocks that fell far without a sound.
Michael saw him go up and went back to get Clair. Hurley
and Saayd knew what was going on.
They all went up to get him. Clair left the
baby with Anna. She raced so fast she fell.
Fog has come down upon them. Wind blows as it blows
Each group of them is seen as the wind momentarily
clears to show them then blows fog back so they are
unable to be seen. ]
Locke and the Doctor on one side of the path. Kate and Sawyer on
the other. They were not sure that if he saw them he would jump.
Charlie asked God:
"Do you love me still or do you...? Have you cut me out?"
Anna came up slowly, gave the baby to Clair. Charlie
steadied himself about to jump. Jin's wife put her hand to
mouth, he held her. Locke held his forehead, Hurley put his arm
around him. Kate and Sawyer both bit their lips. Michael and
Saayd were ready to grab him. The suspense was unbearable.
He thought about all the faces on the plane, the band, his
parents, his first kiss. Those eyes in his eyes turned into the
baby's then into Clair's.
The baby cried. He turned around. She just glowered at him.
She tried not to cry.
"What!, but you don't love me!"
Clair just stared at him. Then at the edge. She walked away,
turning a few times as she went. She wanted to speak, opened her
mouth. As she turned to walk she cried, tears falling on the
baby's forehead.
[The main cast is in front of Eko, the rest to the side
fog has rolled in covering the hill down to just before
the path]
Eko began his sermont with a prayer. Then he stopped.
"I am not really a minis-."
He was stopped by the doctor.
"We know."
Locke spoke,
"No one else was interested in the cargo or it's occupant."
"It's not what you thi-."
"Dude," said Hurley, "doesn't it say he sent out people two by
two. We're they wearing black?"
Eko replied,
"Everyone who believes is to preach. And he spoke:
"My friends, we are gathered here to remember
those who passed from our eyes..."
Meanwhile, they were all looking back for Charlie. Clair
found the note. Locke read it aloud. They all kept looking back
to where out of the fog he would be coming from.
"It is better to go to the house of mourning
than the house of feasting..."
Clair kept looking back. She felt weak, Hugo tookthe baby,
his girl was beside him.
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes; and there shall be no more death, nor
sorrow..."
Kate and Sawyer looked at each other, so did Jin and his wife.
"I am the resurrection and the life..."
The Doctor and Anna looked at Clair. Locke put his hands on
Saayd's shoulders.
"he that believeth on me...."
Clair kept looking back, she remembered the song Charlie
had been singing. It was in her father's collection. There was a
lull before the finale of the song.
Now everyone was getting worried. Clair started to cry. They
all started to cry.
"Maybe Charlie...," Hugo started to say.
In the brush, unseen, was the bearded Other, Walt was with him.
He began to feel guilty for taking the youngster.
"Come on Charlie," Clair said under her breath.
Sawyer got that angry, anguished look in his eyes.
"and whosoever believeth and believeth in me
shall never die...."
Clair could hear the melancholy guitar start in her mind when Charlie
appeared out of the fog. She started to think the lyrics 'Soon,...I will
wait..."
Sawyer broke down and fell to his knees.
Walt appeared. Michael covered him with a hug.
[Sawyer flashes back to the man he killed]
Sawyer drops down to all fours and
shook and cried. Kate fell with him.
The Minister fell to his knees and held Sawyer's head
and pulled him up to eye level.
"Eko..."
"He who...," he could barely speak his mouth was
trembling...
"He who loves little
is forgiven little."
Sawyer put his forehead to Eko's closed his eyes and
cried.
Clair stared at him. Carlie fell to his knees.
"Forgive?", he said wispering, "I wish we were home."
Jin spoke, his wife went to interpret but Hugo said
"Dude, you are home."
Charlie could barely see her for the tears.
She could barely see him for the tears.
[The shot looks up at her through mist and
down at him through mist]
He stretched his hand out to her. She took it and held it
She remembered the last line of the song she knew so well:
"longer stranded alone."
[In the last shot, only the two are seen, he on his knees
she standing holding his hand. Then Locke, smiling
looking up at the sky, it was a beautiful day. Then
back to the two, he hugging her knees then looking up at
her.]
Alias Lands On Lost Island
Part Six
Nadia's No(Wo)man's Land
The new agent is reading a book of a critic's reflections on
the movies. He speaks to Sloan the new girl, and Sidney.
On the movie about the big ship: he says the first 1920's Commandments
movie switches back and forth from the past to the present just like the
big ship movie. The breaking up of the ship with flames from the
equipment below is like the earthquake, in the Commandments movie of the
1950's when Moses throws the tablets of Commandments at the golden
idol. Two of the villan's in the movies fall to their
deaths.
"Jack," Marshal said, "It's pretty sad, when someone is suicidal."
"Yes, I am impressed how these people have faired here, not being trained
in skills of survivalists."
"Jack, better keep an eye on Nadia, I think she's been deeply affected by
that man's contemplation."
"Marshal," Sloan said, "Thank you for your concern, you have good
observational skills."
"That's why I'm at a computer and your out in the field. Better watch out
there is a storm coming your way."
"Thanks, we'll be watching for it."
On the monitors Sayd has found a pair of binnoculars. They think the
French woman left them. Everyone is taking turns looking through them.
Clair and Charlie are sitting by each other, once they held hands,
smiled. Then they sat looking at the ocean.
Nadia meanwhile just stares at the monitor rocking back and forth.
Marshal calls Sloan and asks whether she might be regressing.
In a period of quiet from the weather, Jack and the two new agents
are close to the hill where the facility is that intell cannot penetrate
into to find out what they are doing in there.
The female agent says,
"The area is blocked to our sight, I wonder if its possible there is a
new weapon or are they manufacturing something in there.
The young male agent says,
"Good thinking, drug running on an abandoned military facility with
espionage equipment. They could track anything larger than they are."
Jack,
"I don't think its drugs actually. My guess is that it is some sort of bio
weapons plant."
Back in China Irinna is getting intel about about an experiment.
Inside of an hour a short burst of rainfall produces two different
results in two different places.
In Pingdinshan 100 mm's fall but in Zhoukou only 30 mm's. An
official in Zhoukou has complained it is the company Irinna's
headquarters is located in. He thinks a plane with stars and stripes
on it has seeded the clouds in one area producing more rain.
She gets on the phone to the other agent [Isabella R's character],
tells her of the results. She in return states she's ready to test the
island for weather again.
What neither of them state is that part of the experiment is that
the islanders are being observed. Not for how they survive it but how they
react to next coming weather event.
In the meantime, Marshal has been hacking into the faction Group
Two system. Making sure their video stream is what he wants them to see.
He has also given the team the same rights as they have. So, if Sidney
goes into Other's Agent One's account his name becomes hers. By putting
code to allow Sidney to become Agent One, that agent's name is equated
with Sidney but her presence is masked by reading but not writing her
name. That is to say if Sidney is Agent One, old code Michael would
read on the old 1970's program:
John equate Alias
write read John
nowrite read Alias
Practically though, Marshal has put the name John in substituting for
Alias, therefore the name John is put in twice:
John equate John1
write read John
nowrite read John1
in this way each member of Alias is masked as a member of the Others.
"Looks like a big storm," said the doctor.
Locke,
"Yes, we just had one. First a drought then a storm with lightning that
just fans out everywhere. Nothing like it."
Saayd,
"I wonder if we will get a Tsunami."
"Possible."
Hugo,
"Ahh,dude, like the numbers seem right for a big big storm. Its hot, still,
muggy. Let's go into the shelter, I have a feeling..."
Locke,
"Doc, Saayd, he's right, I feel something in the air."
"No, no, one, under -st -ands," said Nadia.
"Keep an eye on her, Sid. Jack, what do you have?"
"We've been able to breach a hidden passage door. There are
containers full of some sort of chemicals. That's as far as I can guess
without x-ray or infrared."
New female agent,
"If it was drugs wouldn't they have an air strip?"
New male agent,
"Your right, planes landing in trees are a good indication...wait, if this
is a former military installation, where is the airstrip?"
"Covered up somehow."
"Where are the roads, wouldn't we see a few old vehicles? The island is big
enough to drive around."
"Look," said the girl. "Its some sort of generator."
Just then some footsteps were heard. They left.
Jack informed Sloan of this news and and they came back.
"Nadia, Nadia," asks Sid. "What's the matter?"
"Al -one, all."
"We're all here!", hugs her, "See!"
"You One, Gr -oup."
"Sidney."
"Dad," she kisses her sister.
But Nadia pulls away saying she belongs somewhere else. That Sid is not
her sister. Then she says she is and hugs her. Then cries.
"Jack," says Sloan in an undertone, "I'm having a hard time with this.
It's like she's split down the middle."
"You mean multiple personality?"
"No, I think its a simpler case. Don't forget she was not with us before. I
think its a deeper connection with the past, or more specifically, with
someone in the past. I think she has two pasts, two loyalties. That presents
a difficulty. She has to reconcile two conflicting lives. She could vere off
into Other-land where she is closer to the Others. She is, shall we say in
her own Nomansland."
"Nee -d to se -arch. Fo -r Other' -s."
"There she goes again. Dad, are we losing her?"
"I don't know, Arvin's having trouble concentrating on the mission and her.
He's as divided as she is."
"She pulled away from me. Oh, I don't want to lose her."
The young woman comes in,
"Sidney, she's gone."
"Alright, Sid, you two stay. Arvin, you too." He nodds. Jack and the young
man go looking for her. Nadia in the meantime has shut off her communication
device. Yet she hold an earphone in place.
Irinna in China meanwhile has given orders for the island experiment to
begin.
A storm has been gathering. It comes towards the island with huge walls
of waves that repel a trawler, forcing it away from island. Saayd has seen
it and starts to go up the hillside to see if he can wave to it but the
storm gets too dark to see.
Nadia has taken a large flashlight and, has foreseen her dilema. The
team has found flares at their shelter. She has a flare gun. Being near the
Other's shelter she turns and leaves but not before a strong wind forces her
to crouch down. As Jack and the new agent pass by neither sees the other.
A crack of lightning starts a burn in the forest in two places. A great
wave rushes inland extinguishing it. The blazes of yellow flame go out.
Nadia pulls the trigger. A flare goes up. A few Others and Saayd race
to the spot. Nadia has put on night goggles spotting both before they meet
her in the middle. The Others shoot guns in the air to warn Saayd off. Jack,
thinking they are after her races to see Saayd. Saayd sees a figure in the
dark. Lightning flashes. Jack ducks down so Saayd won't see him. Saayd stands
out in the light. The Others see him and shoot over his head making him flee.
They see Nadia, thinking she is an islander that has been in another
compound and have never seen her. They shoot over her head.
She freezes when Jack appears. The new agent shoots back some distance
away to divert their attention.
They get Nadia back to the compound. Suddenly they see the sky lighten up.
However, the hilside all this time has been humming loudly, like some sort of
industrial plant.
There is a rainbow. For the first time many days Nadia has smiled.
"Like to see the ba -by see that," she says, a little more fluently than she
has been speaking before this time.
Inside Sidney and Sloan both go to her but she glances away and for a
moment looks through Sidney as if she never saw her. Sloan tells Sid to
look into her eyes. But they are like looking through large transluscent
dark marbles.
"Jack," Sloan says, with tears in his eyes, "I'm losing her. She is
almost devoid of affection towards me."
"Sl -o -an," she says.
"Oh, my God! Sloan, not more affection for Dad!"
He puts his hand to his forehead.
"Gr -oup Two!"
"We've got to get her back. Its like there is another world she is on and
we just are there, but fading. I am like a shadow to her. Of the present.
Shadows are usually in the past and retrieved by memories. The present
is fading into oblivion, dragging the past along with it yet it shoots
out in front. Past is Being. Present is Nothingness. And yet there she
is and yet she isn't. Its Nadia's Nomansland.
A war of time states and our state our time with her is fading.
Soon, where will she be? Will she survive. Jack," Sloan said,
his arms open to him, his head looking up then down, "help me!".
Nadia looks at the screen which sees Clair looking straight
at her [the camera].
"Don' -t le -t him g -o," she says, again faltering in her speech.
"Don' -t g -o ag -ain, Don' -t g -o Char."

Introduction:
My version of the story:
There are two groups that come from the Rimbaldi family line
Faction One and Faction Two or Group One and Group Two.
Group One is more traditional and of old, and religious Christian nobility Group Two split becoming radical and foment anti religious or Nihilistic revolution to overthrow old noble run governments to the present system we have. In this version Sidney represents Group One and Nadia Group Two resulting in Nadia's confusion, over her loyalties. This is especially evident from her time in recovering from the infection she suffered in last seasons finale.

Aternative Ending
Drown As Ash
Since she writes out of her experiences, her enemies that are still alive
are upset over things she has written and so start to try to get back at her.
She has to go back out into the field and fend them off. One day she sees
photos of herself online that are of her face or have been altered and put
into composites photos. As a writer but former spy she never attends
conferences and allows no photos of her on her books. Only her psuedonym
is listed in reviews. These photos could be damaging to her career and life, if
governments and intel agencies see her. If caught by more powerful forces, the
information she has, if forced out of her could endanger the lives of
collegues and even whole populations. This especially since she knows so
many formulas for deadly technology.
In the end, in order to eliminate this possibility, sadly, Sidney
decides to kill herself. It is the only way to save others from certain
disaster.
Before she does she fakes an accidental house fire burning all her
papers documents formulas -anything that could be ill used by the enemy.
Every picture of friends, family, collegues, with and without her and of
herself alone is eliminated to prevent association with her who are still
alive.
Finally she goes out to sea in a small boat. She starts to burn the boat
before shooting herself in it. This is her wake. The boat finishes burning
and then falls into the sea. And Sidney drowns as ash.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
Note:
I did not watch the last season so here is what I have come up with
Part One
"Sir, Sir, said the lady running up to the man, "here, here take this,"
she said and hurried into the nearest building. He followed her but
she ran knocking over some employees.
"Miss, you can't, Sir, no, you can't," said a young man in a suit.
A security guard placed himself in the man's way.
"Sorry, but I can't let her get away, " he pushed him aside. The guard
called the police. A police car was waiting outside. He ran across
the road, the policeman tried to run him down. Jumping onto the hood
he ran off and pulled the cop out of the car. Pulling out a small
device and putting on his clothes, the man lay motionless, started to
perspire and went unconscious.
By now the lady was down by the river, running towards the bridge.
There she pounded on cars screaming at them to let her in. Some young
people on the way to a concert gave her a ride across the boarder.
He managed to catch a picture of her with his cell.
When he got back to his office he pulled out the package of disks.
There was an html file that had a picture below which there was a link.
It was a picture of Dixon interviewing Sidney. She was at a desk and
had chains round her ankles knees and wrists. There was a description by
a psychiatrist below. It stated she had had a fugue episode. Which is
a mental state in which a person forgets who they are and travels to a
new location creating a new identity, leaving everyone and everything
behind.
The rest of the analysis came to different conclusions. No less than
ten special agents and ten psychiatrists stated: Her being of sound mind
and body. Tendency to be rebellious, unloyal, false to oaths; traitor to
her country. Thought to be a double agent- owing to contradictory
statements about the U.S. and other countries she lived in.
That, she lied about being a writer in her retirement from being an
agent. That, by using Marxian rhetoric in her stories she was a
communist. The analysts felt
this to be a fabricated life to hide her real activities.
Branded a traitor who sold secrets to foreign governments.
Branded a criminal for 'various exploits too numerous to mention',
she was not a reformable criminal: too dangerous!
According to their sources her stint in porn, appeared to be a way to
make money in order to fund various trips around the world in her role as
double agent.
In fact, everything Sidney had done in her life was erased and someone
or some group was making sure that her legacy as one of the most valuable
assets to democracy arund the world was tainted.
Clicking on an html file, one link showed her being interview by Dixon.
She is heard as stating she was a double agent and sold state secrets to
terrorist organizations...even to an espionage organization that had as a
front running drugs into the US from foreign markets.
In the background on tv was the news. A musician was stating he does
not remember what he said in rehab. Video of the doctors talking to him
made it seem like was admitting stealing drugs from a pharmacy he had broken
into. However, he said in an online interview he was mistaken by a security
guard for the actual thief.
While running the link he noticed the position of an object in the
background in the sequence of video in two different locations.
Moreover, while she was saying she stole plans for nuclear bombs from a
Russian scientist who was working in Canada, she was laughing. When she
was describing a formula she was crying. Suddenly the same interview began
over and the expression on her face was more serious and the tone of voice
more matter of fact.
He put in a different disk. It had the exact same file. This time, when
the exact same link was clicked on, the same interview appeared. Running
the link start icon, it was more refined than the second link of the first
disk. He stopped it before it ran through. Putting the first disk in he clicked
the right mouse button. A menu listed a number of options and he dragged it
down to 'source code'. The html/script code revealed two distinct html links
with two different image/source tags. They were two different interviews. Or,
more likely, one long interview, repeating the same questions and anwers
until the interviewers got what they wanted.
By clicking on Dixon, he found that this was an image tag that came after
a tag that had been remarked out. This takes code and renders it unable to be
read by the compiler: the computer's ability to execute a program, so that it
outputs what you see on the screen. The image that Dixon replaces is still there
in code but does not show up.
He then took out the code for Dixon's picture, and pput back the code for
the actual person in the interview to reveal a different man. Doing the same for
Sidney revealed a different on the same body. In other words, our two familiar
agents were not actually there.
Next, the man looked at the third disk. He saw a video of himself. In it he
was telling a man something. The other man was in a dark suit, in a room with
only one light shining. The man made him sit up. Our man was sweating profusely
and was confused.
After receiving an injection by a woman he started to turn white the he
cried. Blood started to sweat out of his forehead. As he watched the computer
drops of blood fell onto the keyboard. He took the computer and the disks and
ran out of the building. He went to the bus stop even though he had a luxury
car by the building. Getting on the bus he put the computer and disks in a
middle aged man's bag when he wasn't looking. At the next stop he got out.
Going up to the roof of a building he went to the edge of the building and
jumped a number of stories down.
The coroner, upon examination found a microchip implanted in his brain.
When he went to lift it out of the tissue the tissue seemed electrically
charged to move. A spark emanated from it and the mouth of the man opened.
The eyes opened, rolled up at him. An involuntary response yet so startling
the coroner, all bloody, ran out of the room only to trip.
Suddenly, two men appeared. They put him in white sheets wrapped around
his body in another room. They put gloves on and worked for a while,
taking portions of tissue and implants located in various parts of the body
out. Putting the body into the place it had come from, the 'dead drawer'.
Taking a canister and pouring liquid all over it they dissolved the body.
Walking out in perfect calm...
Back in his room, they peeled wall paper away from the walls to reveal
symbols written on each wall. Which they took pictures of. Later some
painters came in and stripped the walls down and painted them over.
While they were cleaning up a man came in with a stun gun followed by a
team of men who took them into a van. In the morning the police were
pulling the van up from the water. After the van was pulled out the tow
truck took the car away from the station. When the two policemen in
charge went to a doughnut shop, one sat, the other went to a restroom.
One at the counter died while eating a regular glazed...the other
reading the sports section. A customer who had coffee from the same pot
as the policemen fell to the floor, convulsed and died. There was no
notice in the papers from any of these deaths.
At the bus station the lost and found department retrieved the
computer and disks and gave them to a woman of about _____. She
ran to a dark car with dark windows. Pulling her sunglasses off she
looked at the disks. The fifth disk showed the text of a future UN
treaty on space, satillites and the moon and weapons. Another document
was a secret deal, in the event of an attack on the US by two far off
countries. Yet another was a map of oil resources around the world.
Another was of a chunnel underneath the sea with people in winter
clothing in it. Finally, a war strategy map over a large land mass.
The country this was in: Canada.
In the mirror we see her face and it is...
Part Two
Somewhere in Euorpe at an ancient cemetary two luxury cars pulled
up near a monument. The oak trees each had a girth of two stoves across.
Fog was rolling in from nearby water, the sound of waves lapping was
heard.
"Good morning," said one man.
"Good morning," said the other.
"Did you know?".
"Yes. She's dead".
"We had an implant in her body, it sent messages in the form of an electric
pulse...we picked it on the helicopter from the boat. We just saw her light
herself on fire from a distance. It was too late. We could not save her.
"So, it dies with her?".
"It is no longer our business".
"What about the other business?".
"Our plans have taken a new direction...".
to be continued....
