Chapter 11
Temptation (part 1)
Another half-an-hour went past when then two prisoners heard the gate open. A soldier entered the cell and walked over to the two. He shackled them both. “Get up” he said in a muffled voice, “both of you”. Both of them stood up and followed the soldier. A lieutenant was standing by the entrance of the main room. “Follow me you two” the lieutenant said. The soldier left them to it and the Lieutenant made sure that the two prisoners followed him. They did and they were led into a large, square room. Above them was a viewing deck with reinforced windows and an intercom between the two. In the large room was an operating theatre. In the corners of the room, four soldiers were standing guard. Two of them were holding SMGs and the other two were holding shotguns. Admeet saw Zaypher, colonel Arcaius and general Stratavaria were watching the prisoners from the viewing deck. Then the general spoke into the intercom.
“Ah, Admeet and Solister” said the general through the intercom, “I am glad you are here. You know general Arcaius next to me and Zaypher as well”. Zaypher gave an evil smirk to Admeet. Solister just looked at the ground feeling worried. “We are going to make this simple” continued the general, “either you join us or you will die soon”. “Why would I want to do that” said Admeet. The general looked disappointed but quickly said something to colonel Arcaius. Then the colonel walked from the viewing deck down to the square room. “Admeet, look at what you’re throwing away” the colonel reasoned with Admeet, “the present, the future, you’re just leaving it behind. You must see what you are capable of if you join us”. “Look colonel” said Admeet, “the answer is no”. “Are you sure about this Admeet” asked the colonel, “You won’t get a second chance at this”. Solister looked up at Admeet and the colonel. “I am sure about this” replied Admeet. There was an awkward silence for a few seconds but then the colonel spoke up. “Suit yourself” he said as he drew out his 9mm pistol. He pulled the trigger but the bullet hit Solister in the chest. She cried out in pain as she was knocked back towards the operating theatre. She fell unconscious due to the pain. “No!” Admeet shouted at the sight of blood out of Solister’s wound. Anger and Rage shot through his body uncontrollably. Quickly, he grabbed the colonel by the arm and grabbed the 9mm pistol with his other hand. The soldiers came on full alert as they saw Admeet grab the pistol. He punched the colonel in the head and he fell to the ground. He quickly shot at the slow reacting soldiers. They all fell to the ground, dead. Admeet threw the pistol away and looked at Solister quickly. “I’ll be back for you” he said quietly. He then grabbed an SMG from one of the dead guards and headed upstairs towards the general and Zaypher.
