Unknown Person Part 1

Unknown Person Chapter 1

        At a top secret government facility an unconscious man in a hospital gown is being wheeled along a corridor.  He is strapped to a gurney.  The man starts to wake up.  He is struggling against the straps.  “Let me out of here!  You can’t do this to me!”, he yells.  The armed guards wheeling the gurney and walking alongside him ignore his cries.  They wheel the man into a room with a lot of fancy technology.  The guards transfer the man from the gurney to a table and secure him to it despite his resistance.     

       A mixture of military personnel and scientist watch the proceedings from a special room behind a thick pane of glass.  Into this room marches Morgan Cromwell clearly aggravated and dressed in a special ops uniform.  “What is the meaning of this?  I thought I was going to get first crack at him”, says Morgan.  

        One of the people in the room dressed in a military uniform turns half towards Morgan and says, “Ah Dr. Morgan Cromwell it’s an honor to finally meet you.  I find your work very interesting.”

       “Skip the flattery.  I thought we had a deal."

       “We appreciate you bringing him in but if your initial reports are correct we want to move quickly.  It’s a dangerous world out there and we can’t afford to waste any time on your arcane dalliances and ancient superstitions."

        A scientist in the room states, “We are ready to begin the probing.”

       “Commence immediately.”

       “You can’t.  You have no idea what you’re dealing with here”, says Morgan.

       “Which is precisely what we intend to find out."  
       Switches are flipped and the scientist begin tapping the electronic console in front of them. The man on the table begins screaming as he is bombarded with electromagnetic rays.

        “Amazing.  His body almost appears to be absorbing the electro magnetic energy somehow”, says one of the scientists.  

       “Increase intensity."

       “I wouldn’t do that if I were you”, says Morgan.

       “Fortunately, you’re not.”  
       Morgan quietly leaves the room while they increase the output of energy. 

       As the man is bombarded by more energy his screams change to a high pitch screeching.  It deafens everyone until it turns into a burst of pure sonic energy destroying the room and throwing everyone against a wall.  The man strains against the straps and to his surprise manages to break them.  He runs out of the wrecked room and down a corridor.  He comes to guards who are rushing towards him.  He sees a grate beneath him and strains to pry it off.  He then jumps down it just as the guards reach the grate.  One of them radios and says, “He went in the sewer system.”

       The man climbs out of a sewage drain and runs along the river it empties out into.  His hospital gown blows in the night breeze.  Helicopters patrol the area of the facility as alarms blare and search lights scan.  The man runs along the river trying to get away from his pursuers.  The current of the river is picking up in intensity.  Finally the man reaches the edge of the river before it falls into a waterfall.  He looks back at a helicopter closing in on him.  Suddenly the river seems to surge and a wave knocks the man over the waterfall into a torrent of water.
