Prologue 01
1987
Jake pressed his ear against the door, picking out a variety of words his parents and the two strange men were saying… For some reason, Jake’s father Paul had stuffed him and his brother into the closet right before the men arrived at the house that afternoon…
Nathan began sobbing silently, only throwing his hands into his face in an attempt to hide his tears from his older brother, who was more interested in finding out about the business that was being held in his living room..
Jake: They’re talking about some.. virus or somthing..
Nathan: D-do.. the-they.. sound sc-scary?
Jake: They sound more like a pair of idiots to me.
Nathan: Shhh, what if they hear us?
Jacko and Moe staggered into the room abruptly, heading straight for Paul who was frantically pacing awaiting their arrival.
Jacko: Ahh, what a nice place you got here Paul.
Paul: Listen, Just tell Mandrid I’ve misplaced the virus.. Give me time..
Jacko: Hmm, I don’t think so Paul.. wasn’t that your excuse the last couple times we’ve.. visited..
Jacko chuckled a bit before his face turned expressionless.
Jacko: You see Paul.. Mandrid isent waiting any longer, He wants to have a little chat with you.. Man to man.
Paul: No.. listen, I.. I just can’t.. Tell him I said it’s not going to happen.
Jacko turned and looked at Moe, even through his dark sunglasses.. Paul could see his glistening eerie green eyes shift in different directions.
They slithered to Maryanne -Paul’s wife – They looked to eachother then back to her.
Moe: You wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to you’re beloved wife, would you?
He conveyed with a snicker.. A tight grin creeped across Jacko’s face.
Before Paul could answer Jacko had moved a bit closer to Maryanne who was sitting uncomfortably on the sofa trying not to make a sound.
Jacko snatched her by the waist, pulling her up, and sinking his canines into her neck, letting dribbles of blood run down his cheek.. Before Paul could react, Jacko had let Maryanne drop to the hardwood floor..
Jake: That didn’t sound good…
Jake whispered to his brother.
Nathan: What?.. what happened?
Jake: Nothing.. it was nothing..
He shook his head and turned his attention back to his parents.
Jacko sighed, cracked his nuckles and lifted Maryanne quite easily..
Jacko: Seems you have no choice, you must come with us.. it’s a matter of her life.
Paul Looked at his wifes limp body, dangling in the arms of this brute.. he followed them out the door.
Jacko: Boss isent going to be to happy about this..
Moe: Well it’ll be your ass not mine.
Jacko: Oh please, it will be both our asses.. Now get to driving, I don’t have all night.
Moe rolled his eyes and stuck the key into the ignition.
Paul glanced out the smudged glass window at his house.
