This was rushed because I ran out of time for the deadline, but I think the story is pretty cool. This is also my first draft. As always any corrections and updates I make will be added to my website copy.
It finally happened. Sure, there had always been talk about it, movies and stories done showing what the world would be like if it happened, but no one ever expected it to happen. We were to smart to let it happen. We were too evolved. And if it did happen, it would be from one of those small world countries that just discovered how to make them and didn’t know what they were doing.
But no one had expected it from us. Then again, no one expected Bush to get re-elected for a second term. But that’s how it started.
Snow fell around me as I stared at the ruined world I now live on. “Listen to my story,” he asked me. It was because of him that I was here. “Listen to the story of how I tried to save them, and know why this happened.
“Listen to why the world ended.”
Christmas Wish Part 3: Ghosts of Christmas Future
The year was 2008. Twelve years had passed since we last knew happiness. Snow fell around us as we walked the deserted streets. It was nighttime, but it wasn’t dark. Everywhere we looked the city was decorated for Christmas. Bright lights left no place for shadows, and store windows were full of seasonal decorations. When we walked past a toy store, Sarah stopped to look in.
The store was closed, but all of the lights where on. Sarah may have been glued to the train moving through Santa’s Village, but my eyes where on her. I knew what was going on through her mind right now, and how her heart was crushed. We found out a couple years ago that Sarah could no longer have children. I knew something was wrong when she went her own way for over a year, four years ago. In an attempt to find Erin, Sarah had accepted a solo mission. I was against it from the start, but she was insistent. Not wanting to give up my leads, I went my own way, hooking up with a team in Germany who we once worked with.
After a year, I got a message saying she was back. I found her in one of our safe houses. She looked almost dead, and I had to nurse her back to health for over a month. That was when she told me that her ovaries had been removed. I never pushed the subject, and she left it at that.
“Come on Max, let’s keep moving,” Sarah said, wrapping her black cloak around her slender body, leaving the store behind. “We don’t want to loose this lead.” Her voice was as cold and emotionless as it always was. The only time she ever spoke with any warmth these days was when I was fucking her, and even then it was only when she was in a good mood.
Re-adjusting my automatic riffle, and fixing my own black cloak, I followed behind. We had a lead about Erin, the first in three months. That lead brought us to this city. At first glance, it looked deserted; like a ghost town. After a recon, though, we discovered that everyone was simply in hiding. Something happened a few days ago that scared everyone. Not surprisingly, it happened after the Presidential election. Having been re-elected to a second term, Bush had tried to change the rules. He was running for a third term. When he lost, he went ballistic, claiming that his enemies where trying to ruin him. He was even pissed off with us two. Now the country was on high alert, and everyone expected war to break out at any second. No one knew whom the war was going to be against, but the greatest theory was a civil war.
It seemed fitting that this was happening around Christmas time. It seemed ever since that day, Christmas had been a curse on us. It was on Christmas that the three of us first decided to enlist in the army, following in the footsteps of the twins’ Aunt Kate. It was around Christmas when we lost Erin during a mission. It was on Christmas when Sarah’s parents died. It was Christmas when Erin came back to us, broken and insane. She had found her way back to us, only to try and kill Kate, Sarah and myself. She blamed us for what had happened to her.
In the end, Erin had been unable to accomplish either tasks, but she ran from us again. She became obsessed with finding Kate and exacting her revenge. Erin believed that Kate had used all three of us in an attempt to buy drugs during a mission in the Mid East. We found out that the decision hadn’t been hers, she was under orders from her superiors, but Erin couldn’t accept that. All that she cared about was that Kate had betrayed us, and she had been tortured for two years because of it.
“This looks like the place,” Sarah said, stopping in front of a rundown apartment. It looked like the kind of place only crack whores would live in.
Sarah took out
her gun
, and I held my riffle, and we went in. We weren’t afraid of any ambushes, having scouted the whole city earlier. Everyone was just to damn scared. Most likely someone had a gun pointed to us as we went in, but so long as we didn’t look at them, or show that we were cops, they would leave us alone.
“She’s suppose to have a room on the third floor.” Sarah kept the lead. It was one of her sources that gave us this info, so it was her mission.
Have you ever watched a war movie? You must have, everyone has. American society is based around war movies. In those movies, you’ll always see the teams using hand and eye signals to speak, so as not to give them selves away. We were trained in that communication, but one of the things that made our team so special was that we always knew what the others were doing. We were connected.
Even with our team of three being split, Sarah and myself still had this connection. Some of our old friends (even back in highschool) claimed that we were psychic. We never confirmed or denied those suspicions. We just knew it as our special language.
When we reached the second floor, Sarah dropped to the ground and I fired a shot over her head. The timing was so precise, that if she had hesitated for even a millisecond, the bullet would have gone through her head, instead of the pimp that had jumped out from behind one of the doors.
We didn’t bother checking inside for anyone else. We could hear two women screaming in terror, but if they were any threat, they wouldn’t have been screaming. Continuing up the rotting stairs, we reached our floor and walked down the hall. The smell of urine and puke was strong here. Someone had even drawn a hate portrait of Bush on the left wall with their shit. It was a good likeness.
Her room was supposed to be at the end of the hall. Right near the fire escape. Trust her to always have a way out.
One of the rooms we passed was missing its door. Inside, we could see a fat pig of a man fucking some girl. She must have barely been 19, and did not look to be too healthy. Possibly she was a hooker, but judging from the spent needles on the floor around them, she was a druggy. Fucking her dealer because she ran out of money. Or she could also be a “white slave;” a girl that had been kidnapped and forced to take drugs until she was addicted, and then sold as a sex slave. We had seen enough of them in our profession. We had even taken a mission to take down a slave lord.
We passed the room without a care, ignoring the bestial cries of the man, and the painful screams of the girl. Maybe when we were done here I’d go back and kill them both – one bullet to punish the pig, and one for the girl, to release her from her pains.
Sarah didn’t need to tell me that we had found who we were looking for. As we approached her door, we both spotted the motion detectors. They had only a few webs surrounding them, so they must have just been put up. Maybe yesterday. From the many bullet holes in the walls around her door, and the two dead thugs, we knew that she didn’t like company. She would know that we were here now.
Sure enough, there was the camera, panning to focus in on us. She would know who it was before either killing us, or running away. In the past, she would run, and she might do the same tonight, but neither of us believed so. It was Christmas Eve after all, and we were here to visit family.
“You ready?” I asked Sarah.
She said nothing, just took a deep breath and nodded her head. This was it. There was no turning back now. It was go time.
Sarah was the first to reach the door, and I let her keep the lead, choosing to lean against the bullet-ridden wall and suck on a toothpick, a habit I had picked up to make myself look even more dangerous. I glanced down at the corpses, and seeing that they were already picked clean of any valuables, ignored them.
Sarah didn’t have to knock, but did so anyway, holstering her gun at the same time. It was only a few seconds before we heard the locks sliding and the door opened. Normally, she would probably greet her visitors with the barrel of a shotgun, but tonight she had a small smile, and a pair of oven gloves.
“You found the place okay?” she asked, not surprised to see us. “I hear the shot downstairs.”
