Falling In Love : I Love You, Today And Forever Chapter 28

"Boss, why are you here?" The man with the gruff voice spoke, looking at the hollow-cheeked man in front of him. In just three days, Davis Peters had lost some weight and his eyes looked hollow. There were large bags under his eyes and his hair had gone grey. He had aged a little. It looked like he hadn't slept for days, making his eyes bulge out like a zombie.
"First let me in," David said. He was tired from all the walking and running he had done for the last few hours. His legs were aching and he was exhausted. He couldn't hail a cab lest he should be recognized by someone. He could only manage to hide and walk in the shadows, away from the people's eyes.
"Sir, why did you escape from the police station? Ain't it bad for you? Won't it make everyone think that you are actually guilty?" The man with the spectacles spoke.
"I did not escape on my own accord."
"What do you mean?" The man with the blonde hair spoke, looking at his watch. It was almost six and the football match would start in an hour. They were supposed to execute their plan that day.
"Do you have something to eat? I am hungry." David spoke looking around.
The blonde guy brought him the leftover sushi roll from the kitchen and placed it in front of David. Looking at the food, David immediately devoured it. He was very hungry since he hadn't eaten a thing after his escape from the police. When David had finished the food, the man with the gruff voice spoke.
"Boss, now tell us what happened?"
David took a long breath.
"I didn't want to escape from the police station. I wanted to stay there until our plan was executed. But the superintendent approached me when I was alone and told me that the higher-ups had ordered them to silently kill me while still in the station. They wanted to make it look like a suicide and blame me."
Hearing David's words, the other three men in the room understood what had happened. If David had died during custody and his death had been declared as suicide, then that meant he was deemed guilty. It was a clean finish to the case.

"So, with the help of the superintendent, I escaped from the station yesterday night. I couldn't ask him to drop me at my house. It is being flocked by the police and the reporters. I could only think of this place and don't worry, nobody followed me. I got down a few miles away from here and I made sure no one knew it was me." David continued, after sipping the glass of water.
"Umm. Boss, what should we do now? Do we release the virus or do we wait?" The man with the glasses spoke.
"We are not going to adjourn our plans any further. We are going to release it as soon as possible. I hope you had received the slip from my lawyer."
All three men nodded their heads at once.
"We had decided to execute our plan today. There is a football match at the King's stadium today at seven. Our men are on standby. We just need to give them the spray bottles." The blonde guy revealed all the plans, pointing towards a small stack of airtight containers at the corner of the room.
David's eyes gleamed in happiness. Although his plans had been foiled, he could still take his revenge. And his heart was filled with a sense of pleasure thinking about how the people were going to suffer.
"After you release the virus, come back immediately. I'll book flight tickets to Australia. We will relocate forever tomorrow."
"Are you sure you can relocate to Australia?" A crisp and strong female voice sounded from across the room. The men looked in the direction of the voice and found a woman sitting on top of the five feet high bookshelf in the hall.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" David spat. Nobody had seen her nor had they sensed her. It looked like she just appeared out of nowhere.
"Hmm. Let's see. You are four in number. It will take me around twelve minutes to dislocate all your jaws and to break your bones enough to get you admitted to the hospital for a month." The woman spoke looking directly into David's eyes.

The blonde guy scoffed. "What made the woman think she could break their bones? She must be mentally retarded."
The man with the gruff voice laughed loudly. His voice sounded so horrible that not only the woman but even the others had to shield their ears. "Woman, do you even know what you just spoke? Anyway, I like your boldness. Let's see if you are still bold when I pound into your hot body."
"I don't think by then you will be having your manhood to do that."
"You..." The man gritted his teeth.
The woman jumped off the shelf. She was as agile as a cat. She was dressed in an all-black outfit, making her look quite sexy. The blonde guy tried to attack her. But she dodged it so quickly that he was left dumbstruck. Not only him all the others were dumbstruck too. Angered by this, the blonde man charged at her again. This time, she did not dodge it. But she kicked him right on his jaw. The impact was so strong that blood started to ooze out of his mouth. She then punched him in the chest thrice, breaking some of his ribs in the process. He fell to the ground at once. The man was shocked by the woman's strength. She was very strong for her looks and as the saying goes: Looks can be deceiving.
"You bitch." The man with the gruff voice spoke and took out his revolver. Before he could aim at her, his hand and right leg were shot by the guy with the glasses. This time the word shock was not enough to describe what the others were feeling.
"You.. you.. you. How? Why?" David stuttered.
"This man works for me." The woman said, kicking the man with the gruff voice in his private area. He immediately howled in pain. She kicked again and again until he fell unconscious.
David did not know what to do. He could only sit and stare. He was defenseless; of the three men he trusted, two were down and one had betrayed him.
"Who are you?"
"We are from the Intelligence and we have successfully caught you along with the virus you intended to infect the people with." The only man standing spoke.
David laughed out loud hearing his words. It took him a few minutes to calm himself.
"Do you think you can leave this room alive? My men are outside. They will definitely kill you."
This time it was their turn to laugh. After a while, the woman spoke, "Do you think we are idiots? My people have already taken care of them the moment you got here."
"But how did you get here?"
"Simple. We followed you." The woman shrugged her shoulders.
"But I remembered to be careful. It is impossible for you to follow me."
The woman sighed at David's stupidity. "If you are smart, then we are super smart. That is why we are called the Intelligence."
She handcuffed his hands and pulled him with her.
"You take care of these. I'll leave first. Also, send the virus to the National Laboratory for testing." The guy with the spectacles nodded.
"Wait a minute. He already knew about my plans. Why did you wait so long?" David still couldn't comprehend what was happening.
"You answer him. We have all the time in the world." The woman said with a smile.
"Though I knew who was involved along with you, I did not know where the virus was being stored. So we made a plan to make your escape from custody. We knew you would come and meet your men directly. Also, I got to know about this place only today."
David was rendered speechless. All his plans had gone down the gutter. Now the only thing left was for him to rot in jail.

Sod's Law (Dropped)
This fiction has been dropped, you're more than welcome to read it anyway (there is sort of an ending). But you have been warned... Sod's law is a more extreme version of Murphy's law. While Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong (eventually), Sod's law requires that it always goes wrong with the worst possible outcome. For example, concepts such as "bad fortune will be tailored to the individual" and "good fortune will occur in spite of the individual's actions" are sometimes given as examples of Sod's law in action. This would broaden Sod's law to a general sense of being "mocked by fate". In these aspects it is similar to some definitions of irony, particularly the irony of fate. - Definitions of Sod's Law on Wikipedia. The protagonist, as many before them, and many who followed, thought they were just entering a VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing-Game). Unbeknownst to them however, was a short paragraph in the Terms & Conditions, that, upon agreement, would actually transport them to a fantasy world, loosely based on the game they thought they were entering. - Something anyone could be forgiven for, no-one reads them after all. In this new world, they discover that people are born with “Traits”, a System recognised, ability, skill, or talent, that they are born with. Sod's Law was not a trait they, or anyone else for that matter, would want. Pure madness follows. Yup, this is about a character transferred to a fantasy game-world with the worst luck imaginable. This is my first fiction so I apologise for any grammar and spelling mistakes that may be made. Hopefully it is readable, and if so please tell me! But if it's not, also tell me, but in a constructive way if at all possible? Due to the nature of the “Trait” the story will be dark in places, with plenty of gore and profanity, hence the tags. There may also be scenes of a sexual nature, but nothing full on – sorry guys but you'll have to go elsewhere for that.

8 117Fat Boy Hero
Rueben Burger is a high school student and he is severely obese. He also suffers from a penchant for doing the right thing even if it means placing himself in a difficult or compromising position. Which is how Rueben finds himself in an apartment that is larger on the inside than it should be, about to be fired at by a weapon he has never seen the likes of in a building that is on fire. Super powers! The result of his sojourn in the burning building. Now Rueben has a few decisions to make. Does he become the hero he has always dreamed of being, or does he stay out of the fight to keep his Grandmother safe? Does Rueben give up his power to be the skinny kid he has desperately longed to be? Find out this and much more in the first book of the Fat Boy Hero Series. -History of FBH- Fat Boy Hero is a story long in the making. The idea came from my love of hero stories, but the lack of relatable heroes. By that i mean there were no, or few heroes that dealt with weight gain. Something I have and am dealing with after leaving the Marine Corps. So Fat Boy Hero was born. Check out the link below to listen to an episode of The Round Table Podcast where I brainstormed the idea with the hosts and special guest Michael underwood. http://www.roundtablepodcast.com/2013/03/workshop-episode-53-guest-host-michael-r-underwood/ This book is a side project and will be updated as time permits. I hope you do not find this too off-putting.
