Running away from them was pretty easy.
But I couldn’t find the underground anywhere…
And their catching up.

TAKEOVER

I ran up the stairs and on the roof.
I looked up and saw it was still raining.
I then saw something in the distance. the roof had a telescope.
I guess they don’t need.
I straighten it to be set at the sight and I saw something strange.
It was two fully faced people. But both of them were holding pistols.
One of them was bearded man in a white jumpsuit. The other was someone that looked like a middle eastern woman.
Suddenly the man with the beard aimed his pistol at a incoming police officer and fire’s a shot. The police officer stop’s in his track’s and fall’s to the ground.
The man with the beard yell’s something and a piece of slime hit the man.
He dropped to the ground with steam coming off the slime.
The woman then aimed the pistol at the man and shot him.
“ Oh…” I Gasped and looked away.
I looked back and saw that the man wasn’t being cocooned…he was being dissolved by the slime! The slime soon covered the entire man and then finally the man was gone. Nothing was left.
“ Oh my god…” I realized that these things don’t need to turn people into faceless people…they make sure their enemies don’t come back.
The middle east woman aimed her pistol and shot another police officer before a squad car came. The woman then disappeared into the woods with the police tailing her.
“ Freeze.”
I slowly raised my hands.
I turned around and saw it was a police officer. He looked at me with a unchanging face.
“ Liquidizing…” The man raised his arm.
I closed my eyes.
A shot rang out, I opened my eyes and saw the police officer get hit in the forehead.
“ HEY!”
I looked behind me to see a man on a nearby roof waving to me. He had a rifle in his hand.
“ Never give up!” The man yelled and then aimed his rifle down on the street. His shot rang out and it reached the ears of a police officer.
“ Get to the sewer!” The man yelled and ran in a door on the roof.
“ Backup, Underground is in the area.” The radio on the dead police officer buzzed.
“ Oh no.” I groaned and ran down to the street by the fir escape and down to a manhole.
“ Why me…?” I groaned and opened the manhole. I held my breath and jumped into the hole…and landed in a river.


“ Why me…?!” I groaned and stepped out of it and looked at the ruined jumpsuit.
“ They don’t eyes or ears or noses, but they need Bladders?” I groaned in disgust and began to walk through the sewer.” Why can’t it be bladderless?”
I then felt something following me.
I felt the pipe in my jumpsuit and quickly pulled it out and turned around.
It was a small 8 year old girl in a jumpsuit.
“ What are you doing here?” I growled in anger but relief. I thought it was something more horrible.
“ You must be the one that 34 said would come.” The girl said in a monotone voice
I sighed.
“ yeah, me and 34 go a long way back…Who is 34?”
The girl looked at me with puzzlement.” Your not familiar with the system?”
I just shook my head. Like hell I know what the system is.
“ Your…from the outside?”
Before I could answer, the girl took my hand and she jumped into the sewers water…with me.
I couldn’t believe this, I am swimming in the feces of these things with a 8 year old girl…who had the strength of a roman wrestler.
I felt myself faint.

I threw up and felt handcuffs on my hands. I was sitting in a chair.
“ What nation did the United states go to war with in 2001?”
I looked up and saw a silloute of a woman. She had her arms crossed.
“ Iraqi. And it was at war with it the last time I checked.”
“ Hmmm…When was that?”
“ 2007.”
the siloute sighed.
“ It seems your off a couple of year’s. The united state’s is no more.”
I was shocked.
“ It is now 2017.”
I groaned.
“ Anything else I need to know?”
the Siloute then pulled out a TV monitor out of nowhere.
The siluote was the Middle eastern woman.
“ I think this will explain it all.”
