(i)
The day as you know it isn't anymore. The world around you has changed and you have to change too… but you do not want to accept the change. You fight against the change because you want to return to that day where everything was so easy and peaceful. You don't want the change because you are not sure what future it will bring with it. Are you afraid of the change?
"No…" whispered Mark. "I am not afraid of the change."
So, why resist it? Or are you running away from it? Running away from the conflict, the problem, the fight… do you really think by running away the problem might go away? It will be following you like a ghost through every chapter of your life.
"But how do I fight it? How? They are looking for me… I'm suddenly a killer, a rape killer…! I am too weak and powerless to fight such foe."
Get up Mark. You have to fight it. It's only you and no one else. You are the only one who can swipe this dirt out of your life. The time has come to kick back!
Since the announcement in the radio Mark had been hiding. He had dropped the car somewhere in the woods and walked slowly back to the city. In the darkness of the night he was running through the city. Every 10 minutes he stopped and looked around. Nobody was following him. It wasn't far anymore to the house where he would meet this person who had tried to help him. Passing the noisy area of the city he came into a quieter place. Apartment houses made out of red brick stones stood on both sides of the empty street. It was quiet. Too quiet for Mark. Rubbish and other unidentifiable stuff were lying in the streets. Everything looked pretty deserted. Mark looked closer at the windows and couldn't see hardly any lights in the apartments. It was pretty deserted. But this was the correct street. He took out the note and double-checked.
"Number 34…" he mumbled and slowed down his pace.
After a couple of minutes he found the place. He saw a heavy oak door with white paint crumbling down and a rusty sign showing the house number. He looked up the building but saw nothing else than darkness. There was no doorbell so he just hammered his fist against the door. The thumbing noise echoed behind the door through the entire building. For a long time Mark stood there and listened for any noise coming out of the house. He was just on the verge to knock again when the door handle was pushed down and it swung open. Out of the inner darkness came out the face of Julie.
"I was worried about you… everything alright?" she asked.
She came out of the building looking around before she grabbed him and pulled him inside. The door shut with a loud noise. Mark watched her as she locked the doors. She was even more beautiful than he had remembered her. Her brown hair and eyes looked soft and comforting. Mark just wanted to crash into her arms and cry. He was so tired of all this shit. She wore a white blouse and dark skin tight trousers. Her cleavage was exposed and Mark looked at her well tanned skin for a moment remembering suddenly the amazing sex they had together.
"We have to hurry Mark. They know that we are here. Both of us have a tracking device buried somewhere under our skin." She said and vanished into the darkness of the house.
Mark waited outside until she came back.
"Take this." Mark grabbed one of her bags and followed her.
"You are very late Mark… where were you?" she asked him while they walked down the road.
"I… I just went home for a while and encountered a little problem there…"
Julie shook her head in disbelief. "I thought you would follow the directions on the paper as soon as you would wake up."
"Do you actually know in what kind of deep shit I am?" Mark asked her.
"We are already in pretty deep shit but you obviously had to drag us so deep into it that I hardly know how we can get out of it again." She muttered.
"Thanks… I didn't know they would be at home and do something like this to me."
Julie stopped and turned around to face him.
"They just want to catch us Mark. We both know a tiny little too much about that company. And the important point is now that we have to get out of this town as soon as possible."
"If they have a tracking device how do you think we can get out of here?" Mark asked her. Maybe I shouldn't run away. Maybe I should just face the fucking consequences…
Julie grabbed his hand. Her sudden touch surprised him.
"We have not much time Mark. The tracking device is not the only thing they have implanted inside us…"
Her eyes were serious and Marks heartbeat rose. What now? He thought.
"The drug they have injected in me and you… don't ask me how I got it I will tell you later but I got hold of the antidote. There is a catch though… it is not a permanent solution. In my case it looks pretty grim. I was subjected to the drug for over 2 years now. It changed my body and my mind… the antidote can lift the effects of the drug on your mind and your body only for a while. Soon I will start to yearn for a new shot of the drug. My body cannot live without it."
"Wait…" Mark interrupted her. "Please don't tell me you only have a few of these antidotes with you…"
She looked away from him and just nodded with her head. "I didn't have much time. Greg was busy with some new girl and I realised somehow in the haze that the door to the supply room was unlocked. The urge to get out of that shit hole was stronger than the effect of the drug itself. I hate that place…" Tears were flowing down her cheek. "It took them less than 2 years to destroy my entire life. I lost everything Mark… my friends, my parents and my identity. I want it back!"
Mark put a hand on her shoulder and gave her a hug. It felt good. He could have cried as well. Her face pressed against his upper shoulder. She smelled wonderful.

"They left the apartment…" Greg whispered.
He was hiding in the darkness of a car. He had watched Marks every move until now. The boy wasn't stupid. He had dropped the car as soon as possible and avoided crowded streets. Greg stared at Julies round butt in her tight trousers. She was the most beautiful girl the company had in the underground harem. No wonder that Phil wanted her back.
"He is a handsome boy." The woman seated next to him whispered back. "Is he under the influence of the drug?"
Greg's eyes moved from the butt to the boys face. "No. He had only one shot until now. He is clean."
"I want him…" she whispered back.
"Not satisfied with me?"
Greg turned his head and looked at the woman. She was dressed in an expensive looking black business outfit. Her black hair was neatly tight together and her cold blue eyes stared into his eyes. She only had a light makeup on her small but beautiful face. His eyes followed her neckline until the clothes covered up the view he was wishing for. Greg thought for a brief moment what she would look like without her clothes on. He had worked with her for couple of times now. Strictly business of course. When he feared someone in this world than it was her. An elite ex KGB woman with connections to a world he didn't want to know too much about. Her personality was as cold as ice could be. He was fascinated by her beauty but at the same time scared as shit.
"Let them go for now. I want to see how the drug in her will adapt itself to the new environment." She whispered to him.
Greg looked at her full red lips for a while. "Phil wants them back now Jelena. Otherwise he wouldn't have instigated the thing with the mayors daughter."
"They don't care about him anymore Greg. You better listen to them for your own sake." She said in perfect English.
"What do you mean by that?"
"That you will drive me to the company now. As always I have to put the things back to order." She stared at him and smirked. Greg nodded and started the engine.
They didn't exchange words until they arrived back at the company building. Greg parked the car in the garage and followed her into deeper into the underground. The floor filled with bright neon light lay in front of them and to Greg the entire compound seemed to be dead calm. When he left here a while ago it was filled with girls and men screaming and laughing. Greg looked at the slim figure of Jelena when she suddenly stopped at one of the doors and opened it up. Both of them walked in. Lying on the bed was the tiny naked body of the mayors daughter. The bed was surrounded by familiar faces. Phil, Tom and the mayor.
"Well, nice of you to come at last. Where the fuck where you?" Phil shouted at Greg.
"Easy Dad. Look he brought with him a very nice present for all of us." Tom said and looked at Jelena.
"Please gentlemen I didn't want to disturb your session. Greg and I will watch for a while and then join. So, please continue." Jelena said with her calm voice.
"I didn't expect you to come Jelena." Phil said and gave his son a wink to continue.
Tom climbed on the bed and put his swollen dick back into the young girls cum drooling cunt. She was barely alive. His cock slid back and forth and she moaned a little when her own father grabbed one of her tits and squeezed it tight.
"What is this all about?" Phil came over to Greg and Jelena. "Where is the boy and Julie?"
"We let them go for now." Jelena answered.
Phil scratched his balls and shouted at Greg in anger. "What the fuck are you doing? Since when do you take orders from this antic piece of Russian cunt?"
"If I would be you I would watch your mouth Sir." Greg whispered.
"Would you? Eh? Would you really?! Why? This is just another cunt. Why should I be afraid of her? Let me show you that she should be afraid of me!" Phil said and with a quick and brutal move he ripped the suit from Jelenas body.
