CHAPTER 10 (Now You See Me)

Gunner looked at his phone to see if it was in silent mode. He sees this thing in the movie, that the main hero always has his or her phone at a ringtone so they will be caught. Gunner was fond of watching movies. Unlike his twin brother Slasher, he was fond of reading books.

The cabinet that he was in was as hot as an oven, but he must rather penetrate the heat than be caught. He saw a small hole in the cabinet where he could see what was happening outside. He took a peak and saw at least two men. The one was wearing a white coat that looked like a doctor and the other one was wearing nothing. He couldn't see their faces because their backs were facing him.

They looked like they were busy inspecting something on the table. Gunner skeptically looked at the man who was naked and he had a lot of scratches or bruises and dried blood. The back was so familiar to him that he almost took a deep breath which would cause a noise, but he immediately covered his mouth.

It was the man who was following him. It was Ibiza and he couldn't clearly hear what they were talking to each other. It seemed like they were murmuring when suddenly they turned their backs. And it was affirmative that it was the man who had followed him earlier. The man looked like he had not run because he was too relaxed and looked like there was nothing that had happened while him he was still catching his breath and he can hear loudly the beating of his heart.

"I think he is the one, Dr.," Ibiza said to the man in a white coat with glasses who he addressed as a doctor.

"Did you see his face?" the doctor asked as he was holding a chart in his hand and looking at it while nodding.

"Yes, it was clear and he looks exactly like him," Ibiza said, which made Gunner widen his eyes and his heart jump.

Gunner could not believe what he heard from them.

"It was clear and he looked exactly like him."

"Look like me?" he whispered. That was enough for him to hear it for himself.

There was no doubt that it was his twin brother that they were talking about. He was right, his twin brother is alive and he was the one who led him here. How was he now?

"Then, where is he now?' The doctor asked and looked at Ibiza.

"I was just chasing him and he was fast. He was as skilled as his brother. But he can never go out of this place. He is just here playing hide and seek. I will catch him for you," Ibiza said, as he scratched his elbows that were already dripping with blood, but the way he scratched those looked like it was itchy.

"He was fast." The doctor said slowly, as if he couldn't believe the words that Ibiza had just said. His eyes were bulging out and the veins in his neck were showing up and he was reddish. He was mad. And the chart that he was holding was a metal but it crumpled a bit to where he was holding it.

Ibiza kneeled and looked scared as he looked at the doctor. "I am sorry please, please no… no… I will catch him for you," Ibiza said, pleading he was as scared as a kitten.

From what Gunner saw from Ibiza, this man had received a lot of torture from him to behave like that in front of this person. This man was scared of him.

"I will forgive you if and only if you catch him for me. Secure the gates and doors and make sure he will never get out of this place. I'm going to our project to bring good news to his twin brother." The doctor said, and Ibiza was relieved and nodded to the doctor.

Gunner took his phone out and tapped the video icon bar and started recording in the small hole. It is better than nothing.

The doctor pushed a button that Gunner hadn't seen earlier. As the doctor pushed the button, a big glass cabinet came out of the wall. The room that was dirty and messy was all along a beauty. The building was made for a purpose. The doctor opened a small cabinet which contained vials and injections.

"Is that a new one?" Ibiza asked, as he was also amused by the vials that the doctor showed.

"Yes, they are new and I am going to use them for you right now. Do you want your skin to go back to normal?" The doctor asked and Ibiza instantly nodded his head in excitement. He looks like a kid who wants to buy a new toy.

As for Gunner, the doctor will test it for him first to see the effectiveness of the vial.

"Take a seat." The doctor ordered and Ibiza immediately obeyed his order.

The doctor took an injection and a vial ready to inject to Ibiza, who was delighted to see the needle that was now on his thick skin. It was Gunner's first time to see such a kind of needle that he always saw in clinics and hospitals. But this one was different in that it makes you want to run for your life as soon as you see the needle.

The needle was thick, thicker than the needle that you can see in patients that are undergoing a procedure or surgery. Also, the needle was long, not a normal needle. It was a needle for monsters. Also, the vial was not a small vial that you can see in hospitals. It was as big as the vitamins that a three-year-old is taking. An insane vial and an insane injection. A crazy one hell of a doctor.

"This vial will not only get your skin back but also make you stronger. No more pain. No more taking morphine, is that what you always wanted, right Ibiza?" The doctor asked as he plunged the injection into Ibiza's arm. "This thing will make you high, as high as you can. You can no longer feel tired and you will run as fast as you can. You can see more in the dark. Less of hunger but hunger in killing. That is what you will feel most likely," he said, and plunged the injection out of his arms and smiled.

Ibiza, on the other hand, was unconscious, which looked like he was putting the vial in his body.

"And you know what is good about that? It will only take just a minute for the vial to draw in your veins and in your blood and you are good to go. No one will ever be in my way. Whoever you are, May you be the president or be a god," he said in a low voice but intimidating, which made Gunner swallowed a lump in his throat.

Ibiza groaned like he was in pain and growled as the doctor patted his head.

"Open your eyes now, dog," he said while smiling like a devil, and Gunner didn't know if he was staring at him or not. But he was afraid of where he was. The doctor's eyes were piercing while looking in his direction.

'No, no it can't be. How did he see me?' Gunner thought wildly. He did not know where he would be if he knew that he was there hiding in the cabinet.

Gunner took his sling ID to his belt bag carefully not to make any sound and took his phone. He knotted the small string of the sling into the hole case of his phone. Just to be ready if ever they see him in the end. He had to record all of it and save it in his file. He would definitely want to send it to his other account of zmail. But there was no connection inside. Not even one, but he remembered before he landed on the ground of the building that the above part of the wall had a connection, there was a signal.

But the only question is, how could he get there? It was a wall and he couldn't climb a wall, not only if he could find something to climb on like a ladder or something, a long stick tie, he could tie his phone and take it to that wall.

Ibiza slowly opened his eyes and groaned. He was feeling dizzy as he swayed as he stood, but the doctor put him on a seat again. "Take a seat first. The dizziness is normal and looks on the result on your skin. I'm a living genius. I am a chosen one." The doctor said as if he was crazy gripping his hair as he looked at Ibiza's skin.

Gunner takes a peak look at Ibiza's skin. It indeed looked like normal skin. The bruises and the scars were gone. But he looks even more muscular and strong. There were hairs on his legs. His feet were bigger than before. His arms were showing veins even though he was just now relaxed.

Gunner took a look again at Ibiza and he was taken aback when Ibiza's eyes were looking at him.

Gunner looked at the doctor and he was looking at him.

Gunner's heart was racing. He did not know what to do. If he opens the cabinet and runs straight in their front, he will be caught and he will not know what will happen to him next. He wanted to see his brother and now is not his end. He had to think fast.

He slumped his body on the cabinet and felt something hit his back. He touched it and it looked like a doorknob that was covered with thick foam or something that he cannot describe. It was like a hint that he had to move fast.

The foam was already torn so it was easy for him to scratch it for more until he reached the bumping thing that hit his back. Maybe it was a secret passage that he got into, but if this was his way out, he had to do it fast.

"Get him." Gunner heard the doctor say, which caused Ibiza to growl and, from what he had heard, it was not Ibiza anymore. It looks like an animal now.

The foam was thick and he had to scratch it one more time to get the door knob that he believed. Gunner hopes that his thoughts are right.

Ibiza ran to where he hid and his mouth was wide open as if he would swallow Gunner whole in his mouth. He has got fangs and claws. He was different from earlier. This doctor made him an animal. His skin was normal but it was glossy like it was slimy. His tongue was cut in half and it was long.

As Ibiza was near to where Gunner was, Gunner managed to grip the door knob and twist it and he fell down screaming.

Gunner feels down about where Project Wilson is.

Where is his brother?

"He is going into the special area, doctor," Ibiza said, and his tone of voice had changed into something of a monster, but was clear enough to understand.

Ibiza looked at himself in the life-sized mirror that was behind him and halted as he was about to take action.

He examined himself and touched his face. His face was normal, like he was young, but he got this slimy thing all over his body. He looked younger than he is now.

"Do you like it?" The doctor asked and Ibiza looked at him and nodded.

Ibiza's memory will slowly fade away until he no longer knows who he is. But right now, the vial was eating all if his living cells and would be replaced by the vial cells that were injected into him.

"I am in love with it, Dr. Vega," Ibiza said, smiling at his reflection in the mirror.
