ENHANCED!!!

CHAPTER 1 COMPROMISED

It was night in a certain metropolitan city, the roads were full of cars and all forms of transportation. Honking and curses here and there, we can’t pretend that won’t happen in a busy city.

Moreover, a certain car was moving faster than others, the car overtook a large truck and the truck driver retaliated by sticking his head out through the window.

“Fxck you, moron!. If you wanna die, must it be tonight?”, The driver cursed and went back into his hole.

“That was a nasty drive, Malcom!”, A woman berated the middle aged looking man by her side.

“I’m sorry, Mary. But I don’t have time to waste”, Malcom shouted back.

“We have a kid in the back for fxck sake, Malcom!”, Mary shouted again.

“I know. I just want him to be safe”, Malcom said and glanced at the rear mirror briefly looking at the kid.

The car took a turn and continued it’s journey in a rural area away from the disturbing sounds of the city.

“By the way, Arthur would always be safe. Is there something you didn’t tell me?”, Mary asked glaring at Malcom.

“No…not…nothing”, Malcom stammered

“Now, definitely that’s something”, Mary said and took a look at Arthur again. “Please don’t tell me you made him into an enhanced”, Mary said.

Malcom gritted his teeth. “Fxck!. I had to”, he said with a sad expression.

“He would have to live his life as a freak!”, Mary shouted

“Woman, I wouldn’t be surprised if you had a heart attack from these lovely shouts of yours”, Malcom said

“And I’m grateful my husband gave me that!”, Mary shouted and Malcom sighed.

“Listen, he would be strong enough to defend himself. Things didn’t go according to plan, Mary”, Malcom said. “I was compromised”, he added.

“Won’t that make him a target too. Won’t they go after my son?”, Mary said and slowly started sobbing.

“We are in this together. But when he’s older, he’ll go after them. They don’t want this project for the good thing, and I can’t lose an opportunity to make my son stronger even if it’s too late for me”, Malcom said. “You wouldn’t understand “, He added

“Fxck. Who would have understood more in this world if not me, Malcom!”, Mary sobbed.

The car continued on a cliffy road and trailer suddenly showed up on the opposing traffic lane.

“Who the hell is this driver?”, Malcom cursed.

"Malcom!", Mary shouted as she grabbed the dashboard hard with one hand and tried holding Arthur behind with the other hand.

"What is he doing?", Malcom said aloud as he steered the other lane and the trailer did the same. When he saw the action of the driver, a dreaded thought came to his mind. And he steered again avoiding the collision, but he steered to the tip of the cliff and he marched the brake. They were panting.

"Are you both okay?", Malcom asked as he glanced at young Arthur who was panicked as well.

"No, we are not. Is the driver drunk or something?", Mary asked.

Then the trailer started speeding towards them.

“I think he’s here to take us out”, Malcom said with his lips quivering.

“No!”, Mary screamed and she tried to get a full grab on Arthur but before she could the trailer collided with their car and it flipped over the cliff. The car fell with full force striking the edges of the cliffs and eventually landed. The driver got down and looked downwards towards the car wreckage. He waited for some moments and the car exploded.
