Osir was taken by the soldiers. As protective measurements they had him wear blindfolds and earplugs. He was cuffed with thick handcuffs that had some kind of cyberwar in them. Two helicopters with soldiers were left to protect the citizens from potential attacks. It looked like Osir was their priority target and civilians were just lucky to be by him.
Before they reached their destination Osir was asleep. The next time he woke up he was in a small room that had one bed and a toilet. One wall was made out of glass but it blurred out everything outside. The only thing he could tell by looking out was that there are other rooms like the one he is in.
He had different clothes. Faded green pants and long sleeve shirt. He also had thin black gloves that he couldn’t take off. Osir looked around the room for some kind of escape. There were no gaps or cracks in the room. The only hole was the one in the toilet. He placed his hand on the window hoping for something to happen but was confused afterward. He watched his hands like something was wrong.
Someone was moving outside the window. He could see two characters wearing black clothes. A hole in the shape of a rectangle appeared in the glass wall. The two characters behind the glass were a soldier and the bald man that captured the boy.
-We apologize for keeping you here like that but you’re kind of unknown to us so we had to make a few precautions. The boss wants to talk with you.- Said the bald man.
-Mind telling me where am I?- Asked Osir as he followed the bald man.
-We are in one of the safest regions in Europe right now. We are in the north of Scandinavia but I can’t tell you anything more about the location.- He explained.
-Good enough.
They walked to the elevator and went further down to level five below the ground. Once the doors opened they arrived at the office that had bookshelves in every corner and big screens that showed the view of someplace outside. It was a view of the city. In the middle, there was a desk with a computer on it.
-You must be the boy named Osir? Am I correct?- Said a man sitting behind the desk. The man was wearing a faded brown suit and a blue shirt under it.
-That’s correct. And who are you?
-My name is Matias Makinen. I’m the director of this organization called Center School. We’ve heard some concerning information about some projects using children so we decided to rescue you. Unfortunately, you were the only one we were able to help. Now… I have to ask you a few questions. First of all, how did you escape? Did someone help you?
-When I woke up the truck was broken down in the middle of the forest. A man named Pavel found me on a road and took me with him.
-Was he working for someone?
-No. He was a normal civilian.
-Do you know anything about the organization that was transporting you?
-I have no memories of anything before the truck was crushed.
-Nothing? No memories of your parents? Of lab that you were in?
-Nothing. No memories. Only knowledge.
-He is just a young boy but because of his white hair and no emotions at all, it feels like I’m talking with an old war veteran.- Thought Matias as he talked with Osir.- Osir. I have a proposition for you. Would you like to enroll in Center School as a student?
-It’s either that or being closed in that room. Am I right?
-Currently. Yes.
-Then I’ll enroll in that school of yours.
-Wonderful! Before you join the class you’ll be put through ability tests to know where you belong. Transport him to the school and give him the uniform.
The guards took Osir away. When they left the room Matias used a pilot and changed the view of the screens. There was footage of machines attacking the cities. He clenched his fists as he watched it all. He switched the footage once again and viewed the fight between Osir and the machine.
-I’m sorry to make you an asset in the war but it’s not like you weren’t one already.
Osir changed into a dark blue military uniform. He still had to wear gloves to prevent him from escaping. This time he had more freedom and was escorted only by one man. The same bold man that was there from the beginning. He didn’t really need that much assistance since there were many soldiers on the street.
There were two kinds of groups of soldiers. The ones that had all the same guns and uniforms walked in a group of eight. And soldiers had different uniforms from one another and all of them had different weapons some even only had blades and swords. All the soldiers saluted the bold man showing how important and well-known he is. Osir watched him closely looking for something.
-If you’re looking for a weapon on me I don’t have any.
