My Hero's Short Story: Awaken
Chapter 1 Awaken
My name’s Michael and this is my story.
This all started when I went to sleep in my home in New York. I had a dad, my mom had disappeared when I was five. Life was great until I turned 15. This is the year when my worst nightmare began. I was kidnapped. I awoke in a dark, dismal, and cold room. At first I believed it was my room, but I quickly realized that I was on a cold cement floor. Somehow, I found my way to a light switch, and the room quickly brightened. I was startled to find I was in a warehouse with a single desk in the middle of the huge room. The desk had a typical office phone and as soon as I moved toward it, it rang. I quickly answered, and was startled to hear a muffled robotic voice. It said “Hello Michael, …show more content…
we know about your computer skills, and we need your help. Also, if you try anything clever, we will know as there is millions of hidden cameras in here. If that isn’t enough motivation, just remember we have your mom.” I slowly took the phone from my ear and placed it in the cradle. I walked away feeling very confused and paranoid. I had so many questions. But before I could even think of them sleep took me away.
Chapter 2
Confusion
I awoke once again on the floor. I had to ask myself some important questions. How did they find my mom when me and my dad can’t even find her? How did they know about my hacking skills? How did they get me away from my dad? But before I figure out all those questions, I have to at least orientate myself with my surroundings. I was clearly in a warehouse, there was only one huge, open room. As far as I could tell the only light was a single lightbulb right above the cold floor I awoke on. So, if there’s no windows, there's no other ways to escape as of now. I fell on the floor in defeat and as soon as I sat down a voice came from a speaker I hadn’t noticed before. It simply said “Sorry for this Michael, see you soon.” Gas started to seep into the room from the vents far above me and I fought so hard to not breathe it in. But I just had to, or else I would slowly suffocate. A few hours later, I woke up to a man in a mask sitting across from me. “Whoa!” I shouted. I was in a completely different room, and from what it looked like, I was in a house. Suddenly the man spoke “Michael, I must apologize for the sudden movement of places. We had to move you in order to avoid the police.” “Who are you! Why do you need me!!” I screamed. “Oh you must have so many questions Michael. First off, no one suspects a child of being able to hack into national government sites. We need you to hack the CIA.” he said. “Wh-wh-what?!” I murmured. “How do you know about me and my abilities?! Where is my dad?!” I shouted. “Sorry Michael, no more questions” the main said as he injected me with some kind of drug. I quickly fell asleep after the injection.
Chapter 3
Injected
I sat up quickly on the floor of the the bedroom.
“Please let this be a dream, Please let this be a dream” I repeated to myself various times. But as soon as I saw the giant padlock on the door, I knew. This was real. I've been kidnapped and it isn't a dream. As I started to weep, I realized that my hand was pulsing red. I thought at first that my hand was simply irritated. I soon realized that there's was a small, thin metal square in my hand. I started to freak out, I mean who wouldn't? This is when my life took another major turn. I noticed a note on the bedside table. It read “Michael, inside your hand is a tracker. If you try to escape, we will know and we will be waiting. When we let you into the outside world soon, we will tell you the code to the padlock on the door. Until then, get to work, and remember we have your …show more content…
mom.”
Chapter 4
Progress
For the last month, I've been trying to hack into top secret CIA folders.
I know I shouldn't, but I only want to see my dad and get my mom back from these people. All I know is that the CIA servers are almost impenetrable. I may not be good at hacking national security websites, but I am good at hacking wifi routers. I used to do it at my friends house all the time, to get their wifi passwords. But you know what else is inside the router service? The owners name. If I can figure out the name of the person who rents the router, maybe I can figure out who has kidnapped me. They thought that they could monitor my screen, but I just made a basic loop that turns on when I try to hack them, and it makes it look like I'm making progress against the CIA when in fact, it's against them. It's time to figure out who is behind this
kidnapping.
Chapter 5
Suspecting
I’ve got it. The lead mans name is Ivan Blaine. With my limited access to the CIA, I can look up this name and finally figure out a piece of this puzzle.
