CHAPTER 39

TED JOHNSON

TED WAS IN THE LOWER BED of the cell and seemed calm, even after all the torture he had suffered, the Omega-Red had performed miracles, his immune system was working a mile a minute healing everything they did in just a few hours.

— I know it sounds ridiculous of me — Victor began — but I've always enjoyed working with you, we've always gotten along well, I don't know what changed between us along the way.

— Nothing has changed, except that now we don't have so much time to play pranks together, we just work and have sex, not always in the same order, but with a life like that, you can't really be intimate.

— I was a little unfair to you about our mother.

— I have to agree on that, that bitch has been begging for this for a long time.

— She just wanted to talk to you for a bit.

— I have nothing to talk about with her, as you avoid our father.

— I have my reasons for that.

— So we agree that we both have our reasons.

Victor nodded silently and thought about that.

How much am I willing to sacrifice my father for the dream that we work together?

— Don't think about doing anything stupid against our father, Vic, the old man is always two steps ahead of us, and otherwise, unlike our mother, he has something of value to give us.

— When the time is right I will give him what he deserves.

— TODAY IS THE BIG DAY, GIRLS — Captain Harris said to the Johnson brothers — Do you know what you want to eat?

— Can I eat someone instead of something? — Ted said in a unique humor making Victor smile like in the old days when Harris was teasing — his girl's ass would come in handy at that moment.

Ted and Victor laughed like they were in the old school days.

— Apparently, nothing has changed between you two.

— Why would you change? — If you ate a girl a day until the end of your life you wouldn't give half of what we did, if we die today, it will simply be a great feat, we have fun like kings, we are proud of it, of who we were and who we will be, dead or alive.

— It's a pity you chose the wrong side, you would be of great value to the reconstruction of the world.

— Ironically, the president chooses the day of our execution exactly the day of her re-election.

— What does that mean?

— You will soon know.

At that moment the building shook.

— I think they've arrived — Victor said, smiling.

— What the fuck are you guys talking about? — shouted Harris.

As the Captain turned to see what was happening in the hallway, Ted pulled out his pistol and shot him in the back.

Horace entered, hands shaking, keys waving.

— Congratulations, kid — Ted said, happy to see him — let us go.

— We have little time, your father is furious at the delay.

— Who cares what the old man thinks? — Said Victor.

Harris grabbed Ted's heel trying to stop him.

— Are you still alive?

Ted bent down and put the pistol to his old school friend's forehead.

— You would be a good choice for the world we created, Harris, you're a smart, dedicated and upstanding man, I admire people like that, it's just that you've chosen the wrong side, and the world you know is about to change forever...

He fired.

Ted turned to Horace and said:

— You've been surprising me, Horace, you can be sure you'll be my right hand man at owl

— Can the two young ladies put their flirtation aside and run?

Ted patted her and said nothing in his eyes that he was proud of Horace.
