Clone

George had kept to himself inside the truck while the other guards realized he was quiet. But they just guessed it was because they had pointed their gun at him and almost killed him.

As they stopped at the gate, he saw the tall tower that was the beacon of technology in the United States; that building alone cost 68 billion dollars. As they passed through the gate, the driver stopped and looked behind, "Mason, this is your stop; they have changed your place to guard the outside." He said before opening the back door.

George nodded as he walked out, now slightly panicking from what was happening. He was supposed to go inside to get information, not walk around the gate of Roth tower.

As he walked around the gate, he shook his head as he saw the countless amount of cameras that were there. 'I might be able to get away with walking inside the gate and maybe into the tower, but any more than that will get me caught.'

And if he did get caught, he would have to solve the problem: the many skilled security guards that were veterans.

"George, you okay there?" Agent Jefferson asked through George's earpiece.

"No, do I look fine? Look, this is impossible. There is no way I will be able to do this. There are cameras here that are too much for me to handle, and I don't even know what to expect when going inside." George responded clearly, sounding stressed about the situation.

"Dont worry; I have it all under control. I will disable some of the cameras. You still have your suitcase,,,,, right?" Jefferson asked.

As George heard this, his eyes widened as he realized that he had left the suitcase in the convention inside the staff's toilet, where he also hid the body of the security guard he was currently disguising. "Uhm, Jefferson. I might have left it in the convention."

"You did what?! How can you be so careless?? Do you know you will get me into soo much trouble?"

"Look, at that time, I couldn't have just brought the suitcase with me; it would be too suspicious." George replied.

"Thats not your only mistake! You left the body in the staff room!" Agent Jefferson said as he looked through the CCTV at the convention, "So far it doesn't seem like there is any staff going to the restroom. Get into the tower now!" He shouted.

"I have dealt with the front gate cameras."

"I'm on it!" George said while he entered the gates before running to the tower entrance and seeing a few security guards there talking to each other. "Jefferson, are there any other entrances?"

"Two, there is the back entrance and the emergency stairs on the left side of the building."

Hearing this, George quickly ran to the left side of the building before seeing the emergency door and running inside it. "Im inside the building; what now?" He asked.

"Get to the highest level." Agent Jefferson said before he saw one of the staff walking into the restroom, "Oh no..." He said.

The staff quickly ran out and pointed at the staff room, "Damn it!" Agent Jefferson said before pressing one of the buttons, causing the suitcase to explode, causing everyone in the convention to run from the sound of the explosion.

"What happened?" George asked, hearing Agent Jefferson cursing.

"They found the body; l just exploded the suitcase, so at least they would not know it was from the government. You only have ten minutes, maybe less! Get to the top floor now!!" He shouted before checking the cameras and before cutting the phone connection from the tower to the convention centre to avoid the message from arriving.

George then started running up the stairs as fast as his legs allowed and kept looking at the level that he was in.

"Oh shit, they got the message. They know that you are just an impostor." Agent Jefferson said before hacking into the building system and locking all the rooms to prevent the guard from entering the door.

Meanwhile, at the convention, "What's going on?" As he looked at the commotion near the restroom, Brad Roth said, "One of your guards has been killed and exploded as well."

"Did you call the guards in the tower?"

"We tried, but it seems they have troubles there; someone is hacking the whole tower, and they cannot come out, and guess what? The guard that died here was seen walking with the other guards in the tower."

"Which means that guy took his identity." Brad Roth said while looking at the dead guard whose head had been shot.

"Sir, would you like to contact the police?"

Brad shook his head, "No. No police. I will deal with this myself." He said before taking out his phone and placing it on his ear. "Hey, someone is coming your way, don't let him get away, okay?"

As George arrived at the top level of the building, he could see the computers there.

He then heard a step around him, like a dog running around him. But this thing or creature was running amid the table; George tried finding it before a figure appeared before him.

His eyes widened as he saw the face before him, "Brad?" He asked as he saw the face of Brad Roth in front of him.

"Wrong." The man said before punching George in the stomach.

George quickly lunged back and held onto his stomach, which he thought had been damaged from the punch, "Brad Roth is here!" George shouted.

"Impossible! Brad Roth is still in the convention; I am looking at him now through the camera."

George then stared at the Brad Roth lookalike before taking out his gun and shooting him in the head, but as the bullet hit his head, it bounced off, "Hahaha, shocked? You are not the only one shocked."

"Who the heck are you?"

"Since you are gonna die, I will just tell you. We are the creators who are greater than the creator; we are Brad Roth." He replied before a door behind George opened, before another clone of Brad Roth appeared. "I supposed you are trying to find fault with the neural link, right? Our numbers will grow if at least a million people wear them."

The clone then took out a neuralink chip and showed it to George, "And we will start with you." It said.

George's eyes widened before he ran towards the clone before him, smashing him through the glass and throwing him out of the tower. "Jefferson, did you get all of that?!" He shouted before running through the emergency door and running down the stairs.

"I got all of that! Your mission is done. Just get out of there!"
