Chapter XXIII - System Corps

Great, a girlfriend of mine is kidnapped by mercenaries and known to be the System Corps. Why do they evenly want to kidnap her and wanted me to deal with something? Guess this is going to be a bad dealing situation ahead of myself.

As I and Brandon walk out of the school, I looked around and it was deserted. “You got a car that we can drive to your place?” He nodded and pointed at his car. It was a black BMW. We walked to Brandon’s car, got in, and drove off to his place. Next ten minutes, we arrived at his place. It was a hidden bunker near the abandon warehouse. As we go into the bunker, there were several rooms, about five of them. “I’ll give you a tour. That first door, it’s my room. Second door to the left, visitor’s room. Third door middle, main computer room. Fourth door to the right, mess hall. Last door, armory, requires pass code.

“You might as well get to the main computer room. We’ll get the information from there.” I headed towards the computer room, entered it, and see many mainframe computers. Couple minutes later, Brandon came in with a bottle of liquor. He turned on the computer and an information on System Corps had popped out. As I read through it, I had never thought that System Corps is a genetic laboratory. There was a short info about Project Hades as well. As I read through it also, I had notice that Project Hades was a humanoid cyber unit.

“Well, now you know. Project Hades, System Corps, all big part of the genetic materials and laboratory. You might as well help me out to plan this attack on the System Corps and then we can rescue your girl while we are at it.” I nodded since I had no other choices. I had to help Brenda to get out of this kind of situation. Otherwise, she’ll be Project Hades herself instead of me. “Wait, didn’t you get a note from that mercenary guy? If you did, then give it to me so then I would coordinate where they would be dealing at.” I nodded and gave the note to Brandon.

As Brandon had followed the coordinates, he found the exact location where they would be dealing at. Instead of outside the lab, it was inside the lab area. “Great, either you or I have to find the way in to save the girl without one of us being notice if we are having a bad deal with the mercenary leader.” Brandon turned around towards to me and looked suspicious. “Your going to deal with him, because if I deal with them, I get killed, and your girl is done for. So, you might as well keep them distracted as long as you can while I have to go through the lab.”
Couple minutes later, I gotten a phone call.

Me: Hello?
Unknown: You might as well give up, Kevin.
Me: What have you done to Brenda!?
Unknown: Dear boy, take it easy. She’s okay, not harmed, nor being experimented.
Me: As long as you don’t hurt her, we will have a nice and quiet deal.
Unknown: Deal…but you must be there at the exact time, or your girl will be Project Hades.
Me: In or out the lab?Unknown: My personal mercenaries will show you once you arrive. I realized that your with bio-weapon 154 as well. I hope you don’t bring him. Otherwise, there will be a small war.
Me: He’s not going with me.
Unknown: Perfect…

As the person hung up, Brandon grabbed my phone and slammed it on the table. “What the hell are you thinking? What do you even mean that I’m not going?!” I put my hand up and it stopped Brandon. “Look, I lied to him. You are coming, without being notice. Just plan things ahead for now and we‘re off.
Two days later 8:00 PM, I gotten another phone call. The same person that I was talking to before.

Me: Talk to me.
Unknown: You got four hours, Kevin.
Me: I realized that before.
Unknown: I’d be reminding you right now.
Me: What does the meeting going to be like anyways? No guards, going alone, or what?
Unknown: Go ahead and try arming yourself, when you are going to be surrounded by my elite mercenaries. So why bother bringing weapons when you are going to be dead instantly.
Me: But still…
Unknown: Go alone, no cops, military, etc.

He hung up on me. “Brandon, get yourself armed. We’re leaving early,” I said. We headed off to his armory, but I gotten another phone call, but a different person.

Me: Hello?
Brenda: Kevin! You got to help me!
Me: Brenda? Look calm down and tell me what is happening to you.
Brenda: I don’t know, Kevin! They knocked me out and I started feeling pain on my back. It’s getting more and more painful!
Me: Brenda take it easy, I’m coming for you!

Brenda hung up. “Brandon, opened the door quickly man.” He nodded and entered the code and the door had opened. The armory was filled with many guns. “Quite many guns you got there, Brandon. Keeping it as a souvenir?” He ignored me and had gathered his stealth weapons. I grabbed the heavy sniper rifle, Barrett M82A1. The same sniper rifle that I had always used and it was one of my favorites. Brandon turned around and looked at me. “Can you evenly handle that gun? We are going on a stealth mission you know.” I ignored his first question. “Your going on a stealth mission, I’m just dealing. Anyways, Brenda is in deep pain from what the mercenaries had done to her.” Me and Brandon stare at each other. “Project Hades…”
