Beep Beep Beep
"Urgh, I hate this freaking alarm." Dexter said as he got up from the bed.
He went to start brushing his teeth as he looked at the mirror.
There was an injury on his neck, he got that after been pushed against the railings yesterday at school and yet he was still the one that got scolded.
"Still looks bad," He said as he touched his injured neck.
"But I can still wear a hoodie to cover it." Dexter mumbled to himself.
He had a shower got dressed put on his hoodie and left his room.
He came downstairs stairs to see his mom making breakfast.
"Hey sweetheart, what would you like for breakfast?"
"Anything would be fine." His mom noticed he was wearing a hoodie while it was hot outside but decided not to speak on it.
Soon his breakfast was placed on the table and he ate to his satisfaction and then left to school.
He tried to be as slow in his walk to school as possible, he did not want to meet the likes of Brock who make his life at school a living nightmare.
*****************
He stepped into the hallway and found there to be no one around but just when he was about to breath a sigh of relief, Brock shows up.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here, you got my money?" Brock asked.
It is quite a normal thing in the school for Brock to take your money, but Brock loves bulling Dexter because of how he is.
You might think by his name that he is very intimidating but it is the opposite, Dexter is introverted, quiet and not that big or intimidating, the only intimidating thing about him is his name.
"I..I have told you Brock, I will get you money soon but please don't hurt me." Dexter said as he looked at the floor not willing to look at Brock.
"Huh, look at this motherfucker, please don't hurt me." Brock said as he mimicked Dexter while they all laughed.
Thud
Dexter was punched squarely on the face, the force of the unexpected punch caused his head to hit a wall and he fell down unconscious.
Brock and his friends added a few more kicks before they were satisfied and left.
Dexter just layed there unconscious with blood dripping down from his head it was the janitor that saw him and immediately took him to the hospital.
*************
"Hello, what?" Dexter's mom asked as she immediately fell to the floor clutching her chest.
*************
Dexter was taken to the emergency room, where they tried to stop the bleeding in his head.
He needed surgery but couldn't get it due to the unavailability of the parent.
Soon a man walked into the emergency room.
"Is he Dexter Dray?" The man asked.
He gave of a commanding presence so the nurses were quite flustered when they saw him and did not hesitate to give him the answer.
"Good, I am his guardian and I would like to take his body." The man said.
"Sir he is in a delicate st..." The nurse tried to pursuade him but she was shut down immediately.
"I am going with him and that is final." The man said and stormed out of the room.
Later Dexter's body was packed up and he was taken out of the hospital.
He was carefully loaded into a van and there he was driven away.
Sometime later a woman was rushed into the hospital, it seemed that she had suffered a severe heart attack.
They checked her credentials and saw her name was Elisha Dray.
Coincidence, they just looked it over and started treating her.
***********
The van came to a stop at an underground bunker.
The man that was at the hospital was the first to walk out and then Dexter was driven out.
Soon Dexter was lead to a theatre, there were bright lights flashing all around the room.
Dexter was laided on the bed in the room as they prepared for surgery.
"Check his vitals, blood pressure..." The lead surgeon kept ordering as they got ready for surgery.
FIVE HOURS LATER
After five hours the lead surgeon left the theater.
"How did it go?" The man at the hospital asked.
"Don't worry Mr. Arnold the surgery was a success all we hope is that your chip can vitalize him."
Mr. Arnold just nodded and walked away.
***********
A group of men were sitting around a round table when one asked.
"So Mr. Arnold how was the surgery?" A man sitting at the head of the table asked.
"The surgery was a success, we just hope that he would be vitalized." Mr. Arnold answered.
"I hope so we have put a lot of effort into this project if this test subject doesn't work we would not be giving you another test subject, I hope you know what this means?" The man at the head of the table asked.
Mr. Arnold nodded.
As it turns out this was not the first time this test had been done, lots of people had died during this test and a lot of chips had gone to waste because of it.
That's why Mr. Arnold really hoped that this particular project would work.
"When are we expecting him to wake up." The man at that head of the table asked again.
"Very soon" Arnold answered.
"Ok then meeting adjourned." The man said and everyone went to their respective departments.
