Persistence ch2
Chapter 2


In spite of his neutral expression, his words were straight satire mocking us.

All of a sudden a boy stands up and says "why should we do this, we are brought here , we are kidnapped, police might be searching for us, I also think we have been cooperating too much. So just leave us otherwise ".
"Otherwise ", that man said with a hint of smile on his face which just creeped me out, and I think the boy was slightly wavered too but he kept his ground. He managed himself and made a shocking revelation, which was, that he has a phone and he already called the police yesterday and they will be here at any time.

My eyes widened on the truth but I took a deep breath thinking that we are safe now however I was surely not prepared for what is coming next. That man took out a phone and put out a recording of that boy talking to a police officer and he asked
"so did you talk to this man?",
All of us were too stunned to reply, only to receive another shocker when a man from the side started reciting the lines of the policeman line by line from the call on the signal by Mr.B.

I realised that the voices are the same with a bit of tone change.That means we can't even contact the outside world.
The boy asked the same with disbelief
"How? how — can it be even— possible I have dialed the government number , how can you hack into it?"

Suddenly some men brought a big shredding machine and by grabbing the boy forcefully they pushed him into the shredder.
His blood and internals were splattered around the area and the people who were sitting near the shredder. A sudden wave of melancholy and disgust crept inside us making some of us vomit ,including me as I felt the cold drops of blood on my face while some just got unconscious. His screams can be heard across the hall until there was nothing to be heard of other than the sound of the shredder, we all sat like statues on our seats traumatized and scared.

After sometime when the machine stopped the man said, wiping the blood off his face.
"Your connections with the outside world are barred. And before doing anything just remember the consequences, I don't want you all to die without fulfilling the purpose you have brought here for."
His expressions were dead, there was nothing, neither disgust nor some creepy smile which somehow I expected. And what purpose is he talking about, why did he even kill that boy in the first place just for keeping the phone and calling out for help. If that's the case then I am doomed, no! everyone is doomed, we don't even know when we will be killed and not just killed but slaughtered.

"Quests are going to start from tomorrow, all the supplies for living will be provided according to the need".
He announced leaving us in the state of terror.
