Chapter 1
Roger wasn’t aware of it but he was being followed.
The truck following him suddenly accelerated and slammed
into the back of
the Griffin.
He barely regained control of it again and managed to guide
it back into his
own lane before a truck flew by in the other lane.
“Damn crazy idiots!”
Roger was already in a bad mood before this happened and now
he was really
mad. He flipped a
switch at the bottom of his console and pressed the blue
button that popped out.
At the back of the car a pair of doors opened up
and two missiles were launched out.
Unfortunately Roger didn’t have time to see if the missiles
hit the truck
behind him he was too busy staring at the road in front of
him. Up ahead it
was suddenly turning to the left and he was going way too
fast to get around
it.
“Oh shit!”
He slammed on the brakes locking them up instantly and
turned the steering
wheel as far as it would go but it only caused the car to
spin around to
where the back crashed through the railing first and the
Griffin went flying
off the side of road.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
He woke up and looked around dazed and confused. He was sitting inside the
Griffin in the drivers seat. Why was he inside his car and where the hell
was he parked? He
looked at his wrist watch but it wasn’t working.
“Perfect” He
muttered to himself.
What time was it? It
felt like he had slept for hours and he had a terrible
headache and he couldn’t remember how he’d gotten there...
He taped his watch it a few times and held it up to his ear
but it was
broken and that also meant that he wouldn’t be able to call
Big O if
something came up.
Frustrated he quickly undid his seat belt and reached across
yanking open
the glove compartment hoping to find pain killers but when
he found a bottle
it was empty.
“Damn...” He groaned
chucking it to the back seat.
He sat there for a minute trying to relax and remember what
happened to him.
If he had made it back home, why hadn’t he gone inside? Maybe he fell
asleep in the car.
Boy he must have been more tired than he thought.
He tried wiping the windshield and his window but it was
covered with ice
outside. He would
have to get out if he wanted to see outside.
As soon as he stepped outside he felt like Dorothy in the
Wizard of Oz. The
building in front of him was decorated with beautiful
stained-glass windows
and at the very top there was a cross with a figure of a man
nailed cross
it.
How awful, why would anyone make something like that?
Shaking his head he looked away from the building to the
street on his right
and saw that there were no homeless people lining it begging
for food and
didn’t see any signs of destruction anywhere. There also wasn’t any dome
over head and the sky was the clearest he’d ever seen it
outside the city.
Then he heard singing coming from inside the building and he
turned back to
it. Wait a minute, wasn’t there a building like this one in
Paradigm City?
Yes accept it was almost completely destroyed. This one looked like it was
just build.
Strange...
“Where the hell am I?”
He wondered out loud. Something
definitely wasn’t
right here.
Well just standing around wasn’t going to get him anywhere,
he had find
someone to talk to.
He had to find out where he was and maybe get a clue as
to how he got there.
He locked up his car and headed for the entrance of the
building hoping to
find answers there.
An old couple entered the building before him and so he
got a glimpse of what was inside. People were sitting down facing the front
and they were singing.
When he finally reached the large doors at the top of the
stairs he
discovered a sign hanging above them and read it.
WELCOME TO FREUDIANS CHURCH
Below that it had a schedule of events coming up and the
names of important
people that were a part of the church. He didn’t recognize any of the
titles or names but the dates were especially odd.
“What the hell?” He
whispered taking a step back and bumped into some one.
“Oh excuse me! I’m
so sorry, I didn’t mean to hit you!” A
familiar voice
said. Roger spun
around very surprised and relieved that she was there and
hugged her without really thinking about it.
“Dorothy!” He
laughed squeezing her tightly. He’d
never been so happy to
see her before, well accept when he she rescued him from Red
Dorothy.
The girl stood there baffled and afraid to move because a
complete stranger
was hugging her and he knew her name.
“Um... Do I know you?”
She said timidly trying to get out of his embrace.
Roger blinked shocked and backed off.
“Know me? Dorothy of
course you know me...” He trailed off
staring at her.
She just stared back at him and shook her head.
“No I don’t, you must have me confused with some one else.”
He suddenly wasn’t so sure this was his Dorothy and feared
for a second she
was another evil Dorothy out to get him. But then the more he stared at her
the more that seemed unlikely because her skin was softer
and her movements
where more natural, like a humans.
Roger stepped back nervously as a couple walked up behind
her.
“Dorothy dear, is everything ok?” The lady asked touching Dorothy’s
shoulder.
“Um yeah I fine, lets just hurry up and go inside mom.” She said taking the
woman’s hand and leading her inside past Roger. The older man behind them
stared at Roger suspiciously for a second before following
them inside.
Mom? Roger was
stunned. Since when did Dorothy have a
mother? She only
had a father and he was dead now.
He was sure of it now, this was not his Dorothy but he
wasn’t sure if she
was evil and even though she acted so much like a real
person, she couldn’t
be...
He was about to open the door himself when suddenly a siren
went off. Roger
jumped and backed away from the door.
Before he knew it, everyone that had been inside the building
was rushing
out of it and running for their cars; some of them had
screaming kids under
their arms. Roger
tried to stop a few of them but they rushed past him
mumbling something about another raid.
Another raid? What
are they talking about?
In all the chaos he missed Dorothy and her family but that
was the least of
his worries right now be now he realized that he had no
where to run to
himself so he decided to go into the now abandoned building.
