Chapter 5
Nadia woke up with a devastating migraine. Her head felt like a dayum piñata at a “bat-happy” kid’s party. Thankfully, none of her “treats” spilled out. She stirred as she tried to open her eyes. Her vision was a little blurry at first, but then it gradually became clearer. The first thing that she saw was a set of blue eyes staring back at her. The stare was very intense and made her extremely uncomfortable.
“It’s good to see that you’re still alive,” a male voice said with a southern drawl.
“W…where am I?” Nadia asked barely audible.
Nadia slowly scanned her surroundings. There were sick people everywhere on stretchers like hers. Some were wearing white gowns while others were engulfed in badges and wounds.
“You’re in a triage, dawling,” the voice said again.
“A tri…age, what’s that?” she asked.
“This place is where all the sick and wounded folks end up. To your left, are the terminally ill folks. They’ll never get better and will soon be ghost. To your right, are the folks who have minor wounds. They’ll be fixed up within days. This building, that’s barely standing up, is a worn out hangar. It was once used to house ships, but now it shelters the injured,” he informed.
“What happened to me?” she asked as she inspected herself.
Nadia looked down and realized that she was wearing the same gown as the others. It was not that long and she tried to pull it down, so it wouldn’t rise up.
It’s a great thing that I’m hidden underneath all of these warm blankets, she thought.
“I found you half passed dead in a darkened alley on Planet Deep. You had been shot and you lost a lot of blood. You’ve been here on Planet Dread for a week now,” he said.
“My God, I Was Shot? Planet Deep? Who would do such…she stopped in mid sentence.
Nadia began to freak out and started to shake. The man called two nurses to assist the young woman. One held her down while the other shot her up with medication. Soon, Nadia took a long visit to la la land.
The man stood in the sidelines as the young woman drifted to sleepville.
“What happened? She was doing fine until I told her what had happened to her,” the man said with a small hint of concern.
“I think it was too soon for that discussion. Obviously, she has gone through a very traumatic ordeal. It was just too much for her, Mr. Johns,” the male nurse informed.
The nurses walked away and left Johns standing there thinking about his plans for the sleeping beauty.
Two hours later, Nadia found herself in the same position. She was lying in a bed with a pair of blue eyes staring at her. Freakin De ja vu at its best. This time, she was very much coherent.
“Let’s try this again, Nadia,” Johns suggested.
Nadia stirred to get in a comfortable position as she waited for what Johns had to say.
“I’m sorry about what happened before. It was my fault; I should’ve waited a little while longer. I asked Nurse Jackman if it would be okay to continue our conversation, once you woke up and she gave me the go ahead,” he said
“Let’s get this party started right then,” Nadia cheered sarcastically.
“Yes, Let’s! As I said before, I found you with a bullet wound in your back and transported you here. We tried to find your perpetrator(s) but the trail had already run cold before we got there. I’m sorry. I can only assure you that you won’t ever be hurt again,” he said with a smirk on his face.
Nadia had a feeling that she was dealing with a sly one. She was not actually sure what he was up to, but knew that it wasn’t good.
“Okay, buddy cut the crap. Thanks for saving my life on this Planet Deep but what the hell is going on here? Who are you, how do you know my name and what’s your deal?” She asked with a dab of anger in her voice.
“Ooh a real live feisty one, I love that in a woman,” Johns replied with a smile.
“Hmm, I take it that you don’t remember this Planet Deep from that comment. We’re going to have to fix that problem,” he replied.
She knew now that he was playing her. She was going to have to watch her back…and front with this a one.
“Nope, I don’t remember that planet at all. I really can’t remember anything from my past but my name,” she said sadly.
“Okay, Nadia. I can tell when I’ve been beaten. You’re here for a reason. First off, I’m William Johns, a Merc. Secondly, have you ever heard of an I.D? Thirdly, you’re here to pay your debt to me. You see, I saved your life and now you’re going to save mine. Being a Merc has its privileges yet has its problems. Right now, my problem is being on a grip of people’s “To-Ghost-List.” They want to “X” me out for doing them dirt. They claim it’s for my own good. To keep them off “my” back, you’re going to ghost them for me. But first, you’re going to be trained as a hired killer. You will have to complete several stages in the training. Once you pass with flying shivs, you will be given your first assignment. I am the only one who will give you assignments. If you don’t complete each assignment to my satisfaction, you will be terminated. Do You Understand What I’m Telling You?” he asked in a very commando voice.
Nadia’s only response was a nod. At this point, she knew that she just made a pact with The Blue-Eyed, Blond-Haired Devil!
