Chapter 14: Dreaming about the past(1/3)

Strat still pondered on how little David could still recognize him.

Maybe....no I'm not going to test that yet, Thought Strat.

After he dropped off the stuff he went to David. He picked him up. Strat then put him on the couch. Greysin who still never got a response back went behind Strat. Once she was behind him he then gave him a hug and kiss.

By the actions of Greysin, she caught him off guard.

"G-G-Greysin why did you do that?" Said Strat stuttering as he laid down David.

" Well, you know...you can't make a lady talk about that," said Greysin.

Why do some women say that, thought Strat.

Strat noticed that David had fallen asleep on the couch. So, he moved him to the crib. He afterwards went to his room leaving behind Greysin behind.

" Goodnight Greysin," said Strat in a soft voice.

Greysin smiled and said the same thing back. Start opened the door to his room and went inside. He immediately jumped on the bed. He went soundly asleep.

Strat slowly drifted to a dream.

A long, lonely night is at bay. Crime is as high as ever. Caster City was in the distance. This is the main base for people to get killed. Anything can go. Murder, R*pe, assault, and drugs were the norm. The older version of Strat was seen in the streets of the city. He never knew why he was born in the disgusting streets of Caster City as he walked in the crowd. In front of him were people who looked innocent on the outside but wretched inside.

He knew that the city needed to be cleansed. But he knew he wasn't any different from the people in the city. As he still walked he noticed something a strange shop in his sight. So he entered into the shop. The shop was filled with all kinds of cybernetics. They vary from regular prosthetics to killing machines.

He wondered why the shop didn't have any customers. But he shoved off the thought and went to the counter. Strat saw that it had a little tiny bell. Due to his curiosity, he rang it. A man in black came to the counter.

" Welcome to my shop. What the hell do you want?" Said the man.

Strat pondered what he wanted.

" Well, do you have anything you would recommend?" Said Strat.

The man stared at him for a moment then responded.

" Well based on your body's shape. I would recommend you a reconstruction of the body." Said the man.

Strat looked at the man like he was a crazy man.

" The hell you mean a reconstruction of the body!" Said Strat.

The man immediately responded, " Well I mean it's only a prototype, but we can transfer you to a new body." Said the man.

Strat didn't understand one thing the man said but he was curious.

" Okay. What would happen if I took your offer and what are the risks?" Asked Strat.

" The only risk is you dying in the process," said the man.

Strat pondered if he should or not. He took his final decision.

" Alright. I'll do it," said Strat. The man took on a smile. " Right choice kid," said the man.

Strat followed the man to the back. Even though it sounded shady he didn't care. Once they were in the back he saw prototypes of what the man talked about. The man showed him to a chair. Strat went to lie down on the chair.

" Alright, kid. It's almost time to do it. But are you sure you want to do this?" Said the man.

Strat looked at the man and shook his head.

" Alright why should I have asked," said the man. The man grabbed some sedatives and started to begin. The process took a long time but he succeeded.

Authors note: Sorry for having another short chapter. I needed to do this since I'm going to have a major test tomorrow. But I'm going to post the next chapter on Friday or Saturday. And again I apologize for the inconvenience.
