Chapter 5

A woman in an army combat uniform is speed walking down a hallway with a manilla folder clutched in her arms. She stops in front of a steel door, punches in a few numbers on the pad next to it and it slides open. She walks towards her commanding officer.

"Sir, there's been another incident." She pulls out photos and files from the folder and hands them to an older gentleman. His uniform sleeves rolled up passed his muscular forearm. He takes the photos and inspects them intensely.

"Where were these taken?" He asked in a raspy voice. One only a chain smoker would have.

"Freeway Park under the I-5 overpass."

"Send a 3 man squad to comb the area for clues. We need more evidence."

"Yes, sir!" The woman saluted and was dismissed. The commander stood up and glanced at the many moniters with surveillance videos against the wall behind him.

'They're close...'

LAYDEN

My fingers were caressing her smooth skin as my lips were kissing and sucking every inch of her lips, cheeks, neck, collarbone... I was crazy about this woman and I wanted to memorize every inch of her. I moved slowly towards her perfect breasts. Oh did they feel good in my hands. Her whole body felt good against mine. My hard on throbbed against my pants as she teased to get them off. Just imagining her hands on my c**k drove me over the edge. I cupped and squeezed her big ass as I felt her grinding against me, wanting more. Before my tongue could lick over her plump nipples...

I opened my eyes and sat up. f**k that was hot... she was hot. I looked over at the naked woman asleep next to me.

'But you're not her..' What's wrong with me? I've never been... what's the word... haunted by another woman before. Every time I close my eyes, I see her beautiful face and those mesmerizing blue eyes. Every woman I look at has her face. I wasn't able to last very long last night because of it. Just picturing her naked body on top of me with my d**k going in and... I looked under the sheets and I was rock hard again. Well fuck... I got up and went to the bathroom and splash water on my face. I heard the woman I f****d last night stretch.

"What would you like for breakfast?"

'My face between that chick's legs...' The thought of that woman in my head moaning my name as I'm eating her and getting her close to climax... Feeling her squirm in pleasure and pulling my hair wanting more... I hope I get to see her again.

"I'm actually about to head to work soon."

"Oh ok. Will I talk to you later?" I flashed her a smile.

"Of course, babe." I pecked her on the lips before closing the bathroom door behind me. That felt weird... like kissing a woman when I'm thinking about another? I need to get over this. Besides, what are the odds of running into her again?

(9 hard working hours later)

I finished tightening the last lug nut on a semi truck tire when I felt my pocket vibrate. I pulled out my phone to a text from Beau.

"Dutchman tonight?" Well, since work didn't help get her off my mind, maybe drinks will. I texted back my response and walked back into the shop to finish my work order. As I was typing the description, a truck driver walked in wanting assistance. I looked up and sure as s**t saw her face again. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before opening them. Yep, just my imagination again because WOOF! The technician behind the counter took care of him while I went into the back room to wash up and dress down to my casual clothes. Hands lathered in soap, an image of her naked body covered in soap came to mind. My soapy hands getting every inch of her. The pulsing from my d**k brought me back to reality.

'Stop it!' I walked towards my locker and reached for it but a shock of electricity came in contact with my fingers. It didn't hurt though, it just surprised me. 'What the fuck.' I would've felt a shock like that. It literally touched all 5 of my fingers. I examined my fingertips. No burn marks. I cautiously opened my locker and looked behind it for any possible reason it would've shocked me like that but there was nothing. Only metal and some clothes hanging. 'Weird...'  I got dressed and got in my truck to head towards the bar my friends will be meeting me at.

ELLECK

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" I complained as we walked towards the medical ward of the ship.

"You ran into a wall?! How could YOU run into a wall?"

"I don't know! It just happened!" Embr opened the door and sat me on the cushioned chair. She went to the other side of the room and pushed a few buttons on the hologrammed monitor. The beads beneath me activated and started examining the damage. The image of my bent and broken nose appeared floating in front of her.

"Definitely have to bend it back into place." She pushed on the hologram and the small metal beads started cleaning and fixing my nose. "Your jaw is fractured slightly too." She pulled up the image to show me where. I hovered my hand above the damaged area of my jaw and could feel the heat radiating from the swelling. Great. Its hard to break metal, especially my metal, so you can understand how shocked and confused we were. "You need to stay here today."

"The f**k I am." I protested without moving my head.

"You need at least a day to recover from the bots"

"You know that won't happen." Embr groaned.

"You..."

"What?"

"Nothing." I could feel the bot beads finish up as I lifted my head to look at her.

"No I wanna hear you say it."

"Nah-uh." She finished her end and walked out.

"You can't walk away from this conversation!" I couldn't follow her until the bots were done and back in place.

"Watch as my ass shakes from walking away from this conversation! Shake shake shake!" I groaned. She totally turned what I said earlier against me. The little... ugh.

"I AM working today!"

"Ya ya!"

(9 hours later)

We just finished up taking down some infected homeless in an alleyway. Our faces pixelating back to normal, I checked my wrist hologram for any other infected beings when I caught a strange smell.

"What's that smell?" I asked with a sour face.

"I heard its called 'the aroma of Tacoma'." Embr replied while dusting herself off. I pinched my nose but I could still smell it.

"Dear Creation, how do these people live in a place like this?" Embr gave me a look.

"This is nothing compared to the smell of smoldering brimstone on Pyrite." I gave a look of disgust.

"Terrible." A blinking light appeared on the hologram. "Looks like we have one in that hospital there." Thank Creation because I did not want to spend another minute outside. We disguised our faces again before entering the building and walking towards the elevator. I pushed the '5' button and it took us to that floor. I checked my hologram again. "Room 18."

"I hope they aren't children..." I secretly hoped it wasn't either. When we first got here, we didn't know how the Earthlings would handle the extraction process. Some human brains have fried in our hands. Some who weren't even infected for very long but we can't take that chance. We could've saved Ted Bundy but we got to him too late. We were late for a lot of Earthlings but the ones who have been saved greatly outweighed those we didn't get to. We opened the door to the right room and found what looked like a male doctor in a white lab coat with a female nurse's legs around his waist. His face was in her chest and her eyes were closed enjoying the moment before they heard the door close. The doctor pushed the nurse off of him and straightened his coat.

"H-hello!" He cleared his throat. "How can I assist you?" Embr turned to the nurse.

"Ma'am, my grandmother has been trying to get a hold of someone for the past half hour and no one has showed up."

"Oh my! I'm so sorry!" She walked out the door with Embr. "What's your grandma's name?" The doctor turned to me as I smirked when the door closed.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" I looked in the corner of the room to be sure the lights on the cameras were off.

"Actually, there is. All I need you to do is stay still." My hands glowed pink with electricity and I lunged at the doctor. He was able to move aside in time.

"What are you doing?! I'm calling security!" He yells and tries for the door but the door handle was melted off.

"You're not leaving until I get that out of you."

"Security!" I lunged at him again and brings him to the ground. She straddles his waist and pins his hands above his head.

"Oh? But wasn't this what you wanted?" I brought my face closer to his. "A little tail to calm your nerves." I noticed a wedding ring on his left hand. "Isn't that what your wife is for?" The doctor got suddenly got angry and kicked me off of him with such force that it made cracks in the wall behind me. Impacts like that don't break any of my bones but it still hurts.

'Ouch...' The virus is making them stronger. The doctor wasn't even sure what he did so I took this opportunity to take him down again. This time hitting him in the back of the head and knocking him out. I let out a sigh of relief. 'Should've done that first.' I put my hands on either side of his head and began the process. Just another day at the office. Once I was finished, Embr walked in. First thing she noticed was the cracks on the wall.

"Fighter?"

"Yep. They are indeed getting stronger. We need to let Mordant know that Virus may be strengthening the spread." She nodded and smiled.

"Mission accomplished!" At least in this area. "You know what's perfect after a long day of work?"

"Sleep?"

"Well, yes, but I was thinking drinks!" I nearly gagged. Embr wrapped her arm around my shoulders. "I'm going to teach you how to drink in moderation. That way it doesn't hurt the next day." I sighed deeply. I'm never gonna avoid this. Might as well humor her.

"Fine. Where we going?"

"There's this bar called 'The Lost Dutchman' I think you'll like. Has pool, karaoke, some great cocktails and games." I hide my annoyance with a small smile.

"Ok... but I'm picking the outfit."

"Nothing that makes you look like a vampire from The Underworld franchise." I groaned. Dammit!

"I'll see what I can do."
