The Few

Blue and Red

When the twins woke up they were laid in the back of a van. Both their hands were tied behind their back with zip tie cords, their feet as well. Both their mouths were taped up shut, Abi could see Jet looking back at her. Both their bags were laid open at their heads her tablet was out and smashed as well as both their phones. In the back of the van was two people who were dressed all in black and only their eyes could be seen. One had a feminine figure with blue eyes and the person sat across from her, a male figure with brown eyes. "I would be careful they could wake up at any time," the male voice said in a thick southern american accent. 

"I know, ETA?" She replied in an equally thick southern accent to someone driving. 

"10." The man in the front yelled back. "Not long Red." She pulled her gloved hand tighter on her hands. 

"We're not followed, no?" The man in the back asked, his voice was the one that was behind them before they passed out. The car seemed do dip and go down a very long hill. When that happened the whole van went dark on the inside. After a few twist and turns the van stopped dead. The two people in the back stood up crouched and walked past the twins and opened the back of the van. There was a normal looking man stood at the back who passed them both a pair of scissors. They cut the zip-ties at their feet and quickly grabbed the zip-ties at the hands and pulled them up. The female was on Abi and the male on Jet. The twins we pulled out of the van into a dark, almost parking lot underground with about 8 vans all exactly the same as the one they got out of. The two figures all in black matched them quickly through a door at the far end of the parking garage. They walked down a hall way and towards an elevator. They were pushed in with the two black clad people and the male pressed a button that was numbered 6. To the twins surprise the elevator went down. The lady stood in front of Abi and ripped the tape from her lips. 

"Ouch! f**k!" Abi said. 

"Name?" The woman said.

"f**k you!"  Abi replied, the lady with blue eyes just laughing. 

"f**k me huh?" She said. "Don't worry we will find out tell us or not." The man laughed next to her.

"We're not your enemy." He said simply pulling the tape from Jet's mouth. "You going to tell us your name?"

"Why does my name matter?" Jet said simply. 

"Holy s**t for two people wanting to make a statement to the Few you really are keeping quite." 

"How do we know you're not cops?" Abi said.

"What cops dress like us?" The female said. 

"Ones that don't want you to know their cops when they arrest two kids." Jet replied trying to break free of the mans grip. 

"Fair enough." The man replied as the doors opened. 

They were led out towards what looked like a holding cell a tall man, taller than Jet walked up to them with a pair of white gloves on and walked behind them. Jet jumped as he felt a pin prick on his finger. he then felt the finger pressed onto a sheet of paper. Then the same thing happened to Abi. The man took two separate sheets of paper behind a desk and nodded to the holding cell. Both of them were pushed in the cell and the door locked behind them. The two black clothed people stood at the front desk with the man talking they couldn't be heard. "Where the hell are we?" Abi asked.

"I have no idea? Jail?" Jet said almost half heatedly. 

"Shit." Abi replied looking out of the glass at the people. "Mom and dad are going to kill us." Jet just nodded. The man dressed in black walked towards them and opened the door. 

"Jet and Abi Moor. Twins? 17 years old birthday in 1 1/2 hours?" He said. 

"How the f**k?" Jet asked.

"Blood code." He simply said. "Look we are running out of time." He said walking into the room and shutting the door behind him and sitting across from them. "What was the reasoning of your little stunt tonight?"

"We don't have to tell you anything. We have a right to a lawyer." Abi said.

"We are not the f*****g cops." He said simply. He took his gloved finger and pulled a small strand of hair from under his hat. A thick blue strand of hair fell out. Jet suddenly sat upright. 

"Blue hair?" Jet said quickly. "We were trying to find the Few."

"Jet!" Abi yelled kicking him in the shin. 

"Abi, he's got blue hair. Only members of the Few have bright hair colors. He's one of them." 

"My name is Blue." He said. "Nice to meet you both." 

"Why were you trying to get our attention?"

"We want to join." Abi said as quickly as she could. "We can't go through being switched on, we can't loose who we are." He nodded. 

"What are you willing to do to be who you are?" He asked shuffling on his seat.

"Anything." Jet said.

"And you Miss Moss?" She nodded. He knocked on the window and the female walked over to the door and opened the door. "Red, they're ready. Call the doctor." 

"It'll take him an hour to prep and we need to get them both done. Ill call both." She said walking out of the room fast.

"Prep?" Jet asked quizzically.

"For surgery." Blue replied. "We need to get those chips out ASAP." he said standing. "You'll need to sign something and I need to ask you both something that is important." They nodded.

"How do you want to die?" 

***

It was a few hours when the two of them woke up in a hospital bed in a gown next to each other. Both had a pain in their neck. "What time is it?" Jet said groggily. There was a table across the bed that had a single cupcake in front of each of them with a candle on it lit. 

"Happy Birthday the pair of you." A man in a white coat said from the other side of the room. 

"What?" Abi asked. 

"It's 2am." He said looking at the clock, "well 10 after." He sat on a chair between the two of them. "I am Doctor Vincent." He had no hair and on his neck was a tattoo of the same black bird wings that were on all of Jet's paintings. The tattoo covered the spot where his chip would have been. He had a small stud in his eyebrow and apart from those two things he looked like a normal doctor. "Are you in any pain?" He asked.

"Uncomfortable in the neck area," Abi said.

"Same." Jet added. The doctor nodded. 

"Perfect." He said. "Eat your birthday cake, get some food in both of you and we can get you ready to move on." He said. "From the kind regards of Red and Blue." He stood and walked out the room. After a few moments the same black clad people came back in the room. 

"Ready to go?" The woman called Red said. They both nodded and stood up. They followed them into a room down the corridor and into another room with two benches each one with a pile of clothes on it. "Get dressed." She said walking out the room and shutting them in. 

"Don't you dare turn around." Jet said as he pulled his string on his gown. 

"Yes looking at my brothers d**k, just what a twin wants to see." She said doing the same. "Seeing a d**k, last thing a lesbian wants to see too." She added pulling the black sweat pants on.

"Yeah I have underwear on you psycho." He said pulling the plain black pullover his messy hair. When the two were dressed they knocked on the door and it quickly opened. "Ready." 

"I have something for you Jet." Blue mentioned as he pulled a wrist watch from his pocket, "we had it checked over no tracker, no satellite. Its clear."

"I can keep it?" Jet asked attaching it to his arm. Red started to walk towards an elevator at the end of the corridor. Blue nodded for the two of them to follow her. When they were in the elevator she pressed a button that took them to the second floor from the surgery suit that was on the forth. The elevator went up. 

When it stopped they walked out calmly and walked towards a room and nodded them in. It was just a table with four chair, two each side of the table. "Sit." Blue said pointing towards two chairs. The twins sat, Red walked out of the room and shut the door behind her. Blue sat in one of the chairs, and pulled his gloves from his hands, he was light skinned, he had a tattoo around the tip of his left ring finger with a thin red band. He pulled his hood down and pulled off his hat. He had a thick pile of black-brown hair with large sections of blue hair fell out. The sides were shaved slightly so it was shorter than the top. He ran his hands through his hair and fixed it into place. He then pulled the scarf from around his mouth. He also had a matching tattoo of the black bird wings on his neck at the same side as the doctor. He was attractive and only in his mid-20's, shorter than Jet and well built. Red came back into the room and placed a paper folder down on the desk and slid a pen towards him. She remained stood as she started to pull her leather gloves off. "So what's your specialties?" Blue asked opening the folder and taking the pen in his right hand. The twins looked at each other. "What did you take as your elective at school?" He asked.

"Design." Jet said.

"Computing." Abi added on. He started writing. 

"Design as in propaganda?" Jet nodded, "and computing as in hacking?" she nodded also."So it was you that was trying to get through our program?" 

"You wrote that?" Abi exclaimed. "It was amazing. You must be a genius."

"I didn't write it alone." He nodded behind him to Red. She had her gloves off to show an identical ring around her finger but in blue, her nails were long and painted perfectly black. She had other tattoo's on her fingers. Her hair was long and bright red like a tomato. It was shaved down the sides with the length of her hair falling down to near her waist. Her ears were heavily pierced and her neck had the same tattoo as the doctor and Blue. She had a ring in her nose and her septum all black like every other one in her ears. She had thick black eye makeup on that couldn't be seen under the shadows of the van. She had red lipstick on, as bright as her hair. She was also devilishly pale skinned. The twins could see why they were both called Blue and Red, Blu(e) was a common name in culture but Red(d) was less well known. When Red sat down she took our a pen herself and started writing in a small black book. "So your missing persons reports will be put in by your parents tomorrow and we have sent a request to our man on the inside for both you bodies to be 'found' the next day. They will say you both stole some booze as a final fling before your eighteenth birthday got heavily slammed and Abi fell in the south river. In a heavily drunken act of heroism Jet jumped in after her to save her and you both didn't make it out." He began the two both nodded. "You were both identified via blood code and there will be no need for your parents to come and see you, the government will request a closed casket as is the way of all people who pass under 18 and it'll count as your time of death will mean you never saw your eighteenth. You will be buried or cremated via your families wishes and your caskets will be weighted as we have a man within almost every funeral home in the city. Any questions?" Neither of them said anything. "Good." He said shutting the folder and writing on the front, Jet and Abi Moss. Then he wrote something else, maybe a code, Künstler, Technik. Red read it and nodded once.  Blue smiled and turned towards his companion. "This is my favorite part of this. Red, tell them whats going to happen next."

"Well...tomorrow you will be taken to the boss" She began both the twins heads snapped towards her as they heard something they were not expecting. Red's accent had changed. She was no longer speaking in a thick southern accent but an English one.

"Woah, woah woah?" Jet said, "you're?"

"English yes." She replied coldly.

"So wait, you're illegal?" They both replied at the exact same time.
