Chapter 2 - the revealing

 On a bed, a person opened his eyes, he gazed at the ceiling for a moment, then got off his bed. The walls of his bedroom were black, “light” he said in a male voice, then the walls to the right of his bed turned transparent instantly, revealing the hustle and bustle of flying cars outside. The floor tiles of his house were made of marble, his working table a glass plane. He brushed his teeth, washed his face, had his breakfast, grabbed his jacket and walked towards a room next to his bedroom.

 He placed his eyes near a black dot on the door of the room, a ray of light was emitted and scanned the man’s eyes. The door then opened automatically, revealing a white floating vehicle with pointy head and tail. He got inside, and said “hello”. Then all the lights in the vehicle illuminated, the inside was much like a modern-day five-seated private car, but with most equipment constructed of transparent materials. “Hello, John, drive safely.” A virtual voice replied as the gate of the garage rose automatically. John then drove to work.

 At 6:00 pm, John returned home to find his possessions all on the floor, some inverted including his table and his sofa, and his main door broken. He then went down to the lobby of his building and asked the security if he had seen anyone of suspicion, but the security only replied “No.”

 When he got back, he found his things all back to the position they had been before he had left his home that morning, everything but his photo frame with a picture of him and his family in it. He picked it up, and as he was putting it back onto the cupboard where it belong, the glass frame reflected a man behind him with a rope. He ducked and hit the man in the groin, and as he was whining agonized, John quickly knocked him down on the floor and held his neck with his hand. “Who sent you!” John bellowed. “You’ll never know….hahaha…” the man replied as he bit something in his mouth. “ Tell me you..” the man was vomiting foam before John could even finish. He then threw the now lifeless man onto the floor and exclaimed “Damn cyanide!”

 He then contacted the church.

 “Father Mathias.” John said as he bowed at the old man in black robe, walking into his house along with a band of guards in helmets and guns, S.W.A.T.s. “John” Father Mathias replied “Is it safe?”
“Yes.” John replied

“Good, take me to it.”

John then led Father Mathias along with his guards to another glass door, it again scanned John’s eye, then slid open. The stairs they illuminated step by step as they walked down them. After they had walked all the way down to the bottom, the whole room was lit by white light coming from the walls, the ceiling, and the floor. There was nothing in that room except a large metal safe on the wall. John approached it and put his palm on it. “John Pion” a robotic sound said. Then the door of the safe opened, revealing a glowing spear-head within. John was trying to get the spear when he felt a thump on the back of his head, and everything went pitch-black.

 The next few things he saw were fragmented. He saw the Father and his guards, passed out. He found himself in a truck, with people talking “Yes we’ve secured the package. Yes………..Yes………..Yes we’ve got the father and the prophet…………..” then he passed out again.

 Water was poured at him when he finally awoke, he coughed for a few times, and wanted to stand up as he found out that his arms and legs are tied to a chair. He began to observe the room. The room he was in used the same lighting system used in his basement where he kept the Holy Lance (the spearhead). He was still looking around, guessing where he was until a door in front of him slid open and stepped in a few men, the first two were guards, the third being a man in a suit. “Well well, here we have the holy prophet who keeps the Holy Lance from foreign grip, and yet he stole the Holy Lance.” The man in suit said.

“What?”
“Don’t play naïve, you stole the Holy Lance and kept it from the church’s reach.”

“No I didn’t… I….. I was getting the Holy Lance for Father Mathias when I was attacked and got kidnapped!”

“Oh really, and how can I be sure of it?”

The man in suit then walked towards John and put his hands on John’s lap, supporting his body, and said as he looked at John’s eyes, the at his tapping finger “Do not lie to me John…….” John then noticed that his finger was tapping systematically and he realized that it was Morse code! What he got from the message was at follows “Friendly, I give key you, the church corrupt, be back at 5, be sure uncuff only after 4.” “…….The father’s alive and well and is at the church headquarters now.” The man finished, and walked around John’s back and with a slight movement put the key in John’s hand as he was pretending to inspect John.

 When he walked in front of John again, he said in a sly tone “Oh I’m sure you’ll give us what we want, it’s just a matter of time.” Then exited the room with the two guards behind him. Shortly the room turned red with an ear-piercing siren, with tubes extending from the walls, and holes appearing on the floor. John struggled to be free but realized that it was long before four minutes after the man left. And so he sat, helplessly, to be shot at with water coming out from the tube as he screamed.
