Fired

S.T.A.R Labs

Sam stared at the wasteland of New Jersey as he got out of Bolan's jet.

"I have never been to this part of New Jersey before",said Sam

"There are many parts of New Jersey you haven't been to before ",said Bolan

My brother's men are going to be here any moment soon,and five cars approached and some armed men got out and stood by the door of the cars.

"Here we go",said Smith

"But Mr. Bolan.....there are only four of us....you , I and two of your men.....why are there four cars…?",asked Sam

"You and I are going to sit in the middle one,and my men are going to sit in the one behind us. And the rest of the cars are for protection purposes",said Bolan

"Protection?",asked Sam,"From whom?"

"From some prevailing dangers Sam....there is a lot that you don't know",said Bolan and opened the gate of the car ,"Now sit"

As Sam got inside the car, he again started firing questions on Bolan,"Where are we going?"

"You 'll see", replied Bolan

"Alright....but atleast tell me the name of the lab...",said Sam irritably

"It's S.T.A.R labs",said Smith looking his eye on the road.

"Star labs ?",asked Sam

"Yeah....it's basically S-T-A-R Labs it's for Smith Technologies and research Labs"

"Oh.....but I've never heard about it",said Sam

"There's a lot you haven't heard lad",said Smith , smiling.

"I mean......I lived here when I was a kid.......and I know this city very well......But I haven't heard about this lab anywhere",said Sam

"Yes because it's concealed",said Smith,"You lived in New Jersey? I didn't know that"

"Well as you say, there's a lot about me that you don't know",said Sam smiling, sadly.

"What about your parents?",asked Smith looking at Sam

"They are .....they are no more....",said Sam looking at his hands ,which, despite the cold ,was a little sweaty.

"I am so sorry kid.....",said Smith, and held Sam's hands," Who took care of you then?"

"My.....my elder sister , she is not around anymore, she is in San Francisco",lied Sam

"Oh, well, I must say,that it was very kind of Ronald to have you as his assistant. What were your parents name again ?",asked Smith

"Palmer Elliott and Lily Elliott",said Sam, he wanted to tell his father's actual name and he wanted, so bad, to tell him everything about what happened to his father and adoptive sister, but something told him not to open up so much ,so quickly, he had that gut feeling and he usually trusted his instincts

"That makes you?",asked Smith

"Samuel Elliott", completed Sam, lying again," So Mr. Bolan, when are we going to reach our destination?"

"A couple of minutes from now",said Bolan

And by now, Sam noticed that he didn't recognise the place .

"Are we like....... really in new Jersey?",asked Sam, "because I don't remember this place".

The car stopped after a couple of minutes.It was barren land and there was nothing to be seen anywhere.

"What is this place?",asked Sam.

"Now first, let's get out of the car Sam",said Bolan, opening the door and getting out.

Sam noticed many others getting out as well. He didn't understand what there possibly could be in this place.

A thin greying small tower stood by the edge of the road and it looked quite out of place.

"Ah! My brother does it again!",said Bolan laughing and approaching the tower .

Sam couldn't see anyone else. Just he, Mr. Bolan, and a dozen armed men.

Bolan touched the tower and a female voice said,"FINGERPRINT IDENTIFIED, USER MR. BOLAN CANVILL SMITH, BROTHER OF WILLIAM CANVILL SMITH, OWNERS OF S.T.A.R LABS, PASSWORD REQUIRED FOR THE ENTRY INTO THE FACILITY",and a keypad appeared in the air,out of nowhere, demanding a password.

Sam was nothing but astonished and said," Is this like some concealed building we can't see and we need a spell to break in?"

Bolan laughed and said," No Sam we are not breaking into anything, we just need a password to get inside my brother's facility, I don't know why he is always so fussy about the security", looking at his brother's guards, Smith said," You all, what's the password…?"

One of them looked at Bolan and boldly replied," We have orders from Mr. Smith not to tell you the password, he told us that he wanted to see if you could c***k it first."

"Whhaaatt?! Seriously William?!", exclaimed Bolan, looking at the small Tower.

"But Mr. Smith....the password could be anything ......how would you know it?",asked Sam.

"It's because .....wait.....I think I do....",said Bolan and typed something on the keyboard. It lingered in the air and then disappeared

The female voice said,"Access granted for Mr. Bolan Smith. Welcome to STAR Labs"

"How did you know the password?",asked Sam

"It was my birthdate ",said Bolan

"Oh...well that's sweet of your brother"

And after a few seconds, a building materialized infront of them, it was not just a building like Ronald's labs it was huge, it could accommodate five buildings like Ronalds labs in it , and it had a huge golden Earth on top of it and the building was of glass and the letters "STAR LABS" ,shone on top of the building. On the front door, a handsome man of twenties stood there with shoulder-length blonde hair ,and a small beard which looked good on him,he was wearing a t-shirt saying " I am not gonna laugh ,hahaha" , and a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

"Welcome, brother",the man said, "it's been a while"

Bolan went ahead and embraced his brother and said," Its lovely to see you again William, it's been ten years"

"Yeah feels more like yesterday, when you pushed me off that bridge ",said William , laughing hard.

"I was just fourteen then William!",said Bolan , laughing along with him

"All the talks aside, introduce me to our new friend ",said William.

"This is Samuel Elliott, call him Sam and he was the one I was talking about helping …",said Bolan

"Hey Sam, I am William Smith. It's nice to meet you boy!",said William

"Nice to meet you too Mr. Smith",said Sam , shaking hands with him.

"Call me Will, please",said William smiling," now Sam, your condition is not the most extraordinary thing that has happened here, so I must assure you that your problem will, indeed be solved in a matter of weeks. I and my team will do our best to help you"

"Thank you very much Will, it means a lot"said Sam

As William led the way inside the lab. Sam grew more and more excited to discover what this big big building had in store.

William led them into the room where three men and a lady stood who all nodded at Bolan and Sam as they entered.

"This is my small team",said William smiling," small but stronger than any other teams,let me introduce you all "

"This is Dr. Diana Ross",he motioned towards the lady,

"This is Dr. Hugh Grant, Mr. Oliver Lester and this is our newest recruit Mr. Mark Grant".

The guy Mark, gave Sam goosebumps ,they way he stared at him.

"All of you meet my brother Bolan Smith and our new friend Sam Elliott",said Will cheerfully.

As William named him, the staring of Mark intensified, of all the people, Mark wouldn't stop staring at Sam.

And there , Ronald sat in his computer, operating his pawn, Mark Grant.
