Chapter 311 - Dryrun

It was hard. Sweat dripped from inside of his suit as he kept running on the facility that was built in 3D. In a very short time, he reached the facility using the new suit. He reached for the big gun and started firing at every person that was on his way without missing anything. He stopped when he was hit and the electric thing vibrated through his body like a real gunshot. 

He turned around and used his knives to that people and shortly, he reached the base as he stopped and removed the helmet. He looked around to find that there's no opponents and everything was made as an illusion. 

"Bravo," Wendy cheered up. "You can get them fast right, bro?" She asked. Victor nodded his head as one of the staff approached him with the towel. He wiped off his sweat. Suddenly, he winced as his left leg ached and his knees dropped on the floor. Wendy screamed and called them out. 

His whole body suddenly felt drained or more like it was sucked out of the pain and he collapsed. 

"Victor!" Wendy screamed. "Do something, idiots!" She screamed at them. He still heard her screaming in his head and suddenly it was replaced by a beautiful giggle of a baby. Then, a soft voice singing a lullaby.

He heard voices in his head as he opened his eyes a little and saw a light. He felt like he was floating and the doctors checked his eyes and the excruciating pain continued. He screamed in pain, groaning, veins on his neck became visible from the tension. Memories swirled. He pushed Harvey off as he fell and the grinder ate up his left leg. Harvey was screaming and pulling him up. 

It was a long memory. 

The beautiful woman in dark brown hair smiled at him. Then, she snuggled to his chest under the moon after they made love in some forest. She reached for the fatigue green jacket and covered it with her naked body. 

"I want to marry you," He said. "Let's get married, Viola." 

"Are you sure?" She asked as she leaned her chin over his chest. "You aren't eyeing Lieutenant Grace Lee?" 

"What?" he was puzzled. 

"She likes you. A lot. That's why she makes me run errands so I won't be away from you." 

"It doesn't matter." He scooped her face. "I want you, only you." 

"Victor." A low whispering voice called. "Victor!" He called again. She sat up and quickly put her clothes on. Victor also did the same and he helped her fix her hair and then put her jacket on. Shortly, Harvey approached them. 

"There's something wrong about this mission." 

"What?" He asked as he looked around. "I want you and Viola to leave right now. I will check up on other teams. I already sent out a message to the General."  He took out something. "They are going to use us as lab rats." 

"That's insane." Viola grumbled. 

"Let's get married after we escape here." Victor hugged her and kissed her forehead. "Thank you, Harvey. But we can't leave the team." 

"Certainly," Viola insisted. "I will call out for help." 

After that there's a loud bombing and it comes into the camp site. They quickly rushed back there and they saw Ace and Terrence running with others. 

"This is an ambush!" Harvey exclaimed. "Fall down!" 

"Captain, few can't make it." Leon shouted. 

"Let us gather as much as we can." He said as he took out his gun. 

Victor gently hides Viola behind him. 

"Be my sniper." He whispered. 

Terrence tossed the gun to Viola as she quickly loaded it. Then, he set up a place where she could hide as Leon rushed back to help others while Ace and Viola were behind the trees and settled down ready to shoot any threats. 

It was fast forward as they woke up in a white room. The first thing he searched for was Viola and when he sat up, he saw her being checked by people in white robes. He screamed and started breaking things when he saw that she's convulsing. They injected him with something on the neck that made him slowly lose his energy but he managed to push him as he rushed to the door to go after his lover. 

"Victor." A voice called as he opened his eyes and a tear rolled down from his eyes. The doctor smiled at him and pressed his hand. "How are you doing?" It was the same face from before, however, the attitude and aura was different. "Let me check your vitals." He said as he mouthed something that he could easily read. "Viola is safe." 

He knew it! They are doing everything to get him back. He sniffled as he sighed and closed his eyes hard. The doctor was busy clicking his pen while checking on something and he immediately found out that it was Morse Code. 

Y-O-U-R W-I-F-E N-E-E-D-S Y-O-U-R H-E-L-P. 

He opened his eyes wide and slowly adjusted his bed to reclined as he stared at his left leg. They somehow removed his prosthetic one to probably change it into something new. 

W-E N-E-E-D T-O K-N-OW C-H-E-M-I-C-A-L-S I-N Y-O-U-R B-O-D-Y

He sniffled and looked at him. 

"How's my overall health?" 

"The pain in your leg was probably because of trauma.But you are physically healthy." 

"Hmm." 

"Do you perhaps remember something?" He said as he checked the clipboard. He tapped on the mattress to reply to him in Morse Code. He nodded his head. "Or do you have some memory glitches?" 

"I have nightmares. My sister got killed." He said. "Where's my sister? I want to see her." 

"We will have to run a few more tests on you."

Maxine was singing a song for Kal while she's preparing cookies. She tried new recipes that she could cook for this Christmas and Kal was also singing through the tones. But since he doesn't get it much, fifty perfect was perfect. 

"He's asleep. I think he got tired of playing with the dogs." She said and peered at the door. "When are you coming home?" 

"I promise, before Christmas. I will be there." 

"You promise. You do it." 

Terrence chuckled. 

"I will. I love you so much. I love you so, so much." 

She giggled and crossed her arms. 

"I know." She sighed and watched as Kal moved to another side and went back to sleep. "I miss you so much. You should finish that right away so we could fuck." 

"Oh, I love your dirty words." 

She giggled in a low voice. 

"That's what I am feeling Terrence. I am quite tired from cleaning up the whole house. If you don't have that running vacuum, it would be hard for me to do other things." 

"I'm sorry, baby. But I will be there." Terrence promised. "How about you enjoy a hot bathtub and let's have a sex call?" 

"I like that. I hope that Kal won't wake up while I am in the middle of something." 

"Great, I will get ready. You need to charge your toys." 

She looked at Kal and she was taken aback when he's awake and he was sitting. 

"Kal is awake." She said. "I will get the bathtub ready and let's have a video call later. I will just feed him. He's probably hungry." 

Kal was cooing and then he irritatedly acted like he's going to cry. 

"Baby, why are you awake?" She reached him and hugged him. He pushed himself and pulled the collar of her shirt. "Hungry?" She asked and kissed his fat cheeks. 

She put him down on the crib as he went to the table to prepare his milk. He dramatically held on to the rail of the crib while crying without tears. Suddenly, the dog that was guarding him howled that made Kal stop. She smiled when Kal peered at the dog as he tried to reach the dog who stood and held on the crib. Kal giggled and reached the muzzle of the dog. 

"Babe," Terrence called and she looked at the monitor where Terrence was there watching them. "How many hours has he been asleep?" 

"Like an hour. But he will sleep again. He was hyper the whole day and didn't sleep. Don't worry, we will do that thing you suggested." 

Terrence grinned and winked at her. 

"I am willing to wait." 

Shortly, she reaches Kal and takes him to the bed, then she cradles him and feeds him with milk. Terrence smiled at them. 

"That rascal better sleep." Terrence said that made Kal look around to find the voice. 

"There's Dada," She pointed to Terrence as Kal released the bottle as he looked at Kal. He stared at him as he grabbed the bottle back and sucked it. 

"Hey, are you ignoring me now?" He asked but then Kal turned to Maxi and played on her hair. "Love, I'm currently checking the perimeter. Why are the dogs looking outside?" He asked. 

"I will check it." She said. 

"No. Stay there." He said as he checked again. "Oh, there's a cat." He chuckled. "I think we should adopt a cat too?" 

"Hmm, that's fine for me. I think Kal loves animals." She smiled and caressed Kal's head. "Babe, later. I can't wait." He whispered. 

She grinned and nodded her head.. She mouthed her love for him and he did the same.
