Chapter 7
According to the computer the date is April 20, 2056. 37 years, for 37 fucking years they made me into their lab rat. "For the betterment of mankind" they said "What's one life compared to billions of lives" they argued. I could care less what the fuck happens to the world. My mind is fractured and the only thoughts I have were revenge. The scientist were dead but that didn't quench my thirst. They were nice enough to have the personnel files to track all those responsible for keeping me in this lab. I read all the files that I needed before reinforcements came to clear the place out and try to put me to sleep. 37 years and I look younger now than when they brought me in. What the fuck did they do to me?
As I examined myself I realized that all the scars and birth marks I had were gone, my skin was pale, my black hair turned white but I can actually control my pigmentation in my hair so the color can change at will. From 5'10 to 6'3. In the 37 years that they had me, the technology of the world changed but every time I was sent out to kill I was almost always in under developed countries so I had no chance to examine the changes. All I was given were orders that I had to follow and the upgrades they give me for further infiltration and nothing more. Flying cars would have been a dream to see or own one but I feel like Brooks from Shawshank Redemption, where he goes to jail narrating that when he first went to the big house there weren't that many cars but when he was given parole they were on every corner, like everybody had one.
I can remember that but the memory of my parent's faces or if I had any siblings eludes me. Right now before all the agencies the United States uses to recapture me begins, I need to kill everyone involved with the project. According to the files this leads up to the president. I will the President first so that the so that when all the subordinates from the multiple agencies start dying off, I don't to lose the president to the underground bunker. It's not like I can't get to the president, it will just take longer.
On May 4, 2056 I entered the White House and killed the President along with his family. Before going in I read that the President and a few of those on my kill lost will be present so I took the opportunity to kill them all while I made the trip. I was certain that he was informed that I was loose, so why was security a little low? Who cares, 11 down and many more heads to roll.
May 6, 2056. All those involved with the project were finally taking me seriously. I was wonder why they weren't in the first place but as I crossed out a few more names off my list I found out that the scientists also installed a program to delay or stop the alert that I was free to reach them. This made my killings go a lot more smoothly. By the end of May I was nearing the end of my list but the alert was now in play and I was on everyone's wanted list. I wasn't on any type of media because the government fully controlled it at this point. It would have been better to make me an outcast to the people because they would've helped the government take me out but now I just have more places to hide in.
It was in the middle of June and I was killing the last person on my list. He took a hard time locating considering he was aware of me being free so he had many pace around the world to move to. I was in United Republic of Korea, which was what was decided upon after I killed off the Kim Jung family. While there the people have basically become afraid and grateful to the United Sates for freeing them of the Kim Jung family, so when they asked to corner and capture me they gladly did it. I never blamed the Korean people so I only knocked them out or broke an easily repairable bone, the United States soldiers however were not so lucky.
Once I was captured I had a few minutes before the sleeping gas took its effect over me. Normal sleeping gas won't even make me yawn but the gas they were using was developed with me as a target so I don't doubt its potency. The gas was so strong that slight skin contact will also cause a person to sleep, seeing as those around me were being knocked out. Unfortunately the gas was too strong for normal people so it will most likely result in either their deaths or comas. My vison is blurry, my senses…are dulling…consciousness…fading.
"Subject Zero is down! I repeat Subject Zero is down! Move in to secure the target! Go, go, go!" The team leader yelled. "Bring in the cryo-chamber, we need to keep him frozen to put him to sleep for a while. Amp down the temperature so that he doesn't adapt to the temperature too quickly." "All secure, sir!" "Good. Get these people out of here and move out!" The leader yelled.
My name Ricardo Sanchez. Today, on July 4, 2056, I am the new president of the United States. Today I greet the people of the United States with a heavy heart as the President all the way to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs have passed away due to a bombing during a meeting. I was called away by a family emergency but as you can see it is what saved me and it is the reason I am able to pick up the mantle of President. Thank you.
"Tell me what has happened" President Sanchez demanded. "Well sir, we were able to capture Subject Zero but with much difficulty. The scientists warned us but those in charge kept the project going for too long thus resulted in the current situation" The aide stammered. "Why was everyone involved alerted so late when this "Subject Zero" escaped? Why wasn't he put to death instead of being captured?" the President yelled. "According to the data, Subject Zero was the reason we won against the Koreans. Subject Zero won us WW3. Thanks to his unique genetic code, the scientists were able to cure almost all ailments like Cancer, Viruses and Diseases. He was the reason we ended the lockdowns of the 2020's because we cured COVID-19, sir. Killing him is like killing the goose that laid the golden egg" the aide said somewhat proud.
"Tell me then, if he is such an important piece, why did he rebel and kill all those involved with the projects, all the way down to killing entire families?" The President inquired. "Well Mr. President Sir, the data stipulates that Subject Zero was captured and erased from all types of data bases, including all social media, that he existed in the United States because of the unique Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA). It also says that he was badly hurt in a work related accident in 2019 and needed AB- (AB Negative) blood. When the lab was alerted he was brought in and experimented on." The aide said. "Goddammit! So you are saying that WE built this monster?" The President questioned, "Yes sir" the aide responded.
