Chapter #6Playing Cop by: Unknown I walk back outside heading towards the police car with many thoughts swarming around my mind. What is this plot behind this chemical that bestowed me of this strange power? How come I can't leave this guys body unlike the other time? When will be the next time I see Shannon? I walk up the police car and unlock the door, entering it as if I have done it many times before. I tilt the rear view mirror and I see the face of the police officer named Greg looking back into the mirror. I bring my hands up to my head as I touch his smooth bald head and I let out a soft chuckle thinking about the fact I have no hair. Staring me back into the mirror, I see a a mid aged with a circular face who is clean shaven and I give a smile to see my reflection of Greg give a smile as well. "Well Greg I guess I'll be you for a while" I say hearing Greg's deeper voice leaving my mouth. I tilt the rear view mirror back into its correct position and I drive off back to the police station to see what
is in store for me.
I pull into the police station and I glance at the watch on Greg's wrist to find out is is 2:11 PM as I head out the car and lock the door. I walk nonchalantly back inside the door back into the bustling office of the police station when a man comes walking towards me from my left. "Finally Greg" he says ", we have alot of work that needs to be done so follow me" and I nod giving a simple "Alright" and before he turned around I caught his name, which read "Thomas Philman". Thomas was about the same age as Greg, but he has a set of brown hair on top as the grey hairs starting growing in. I followed him through the office into a room that I read as his own. He unlocked the door with a scan ID and he led me in and locked the door behind us. He flipped the blinds in his room and he sat by his desk and I sat by the seat across him. I look around to see a clean small office with pictures scattered around of him with some well known people.
"Lets get down to business" Thomas said and I look back at him and nod with the most serious face I can put on. He spread out pictures of the plane crash from afar and he said "Here take a look" and I looked at each one and I thought this was everything I've seen with Shannon nothing new and I reply "Alright what about them though?". "I'll tell you what about them" he scoffed ", something strange is going on Greg and we both know it. They surrounded the plane and wouldn't even let us in. I'm telling you that something special was on that plane" and I question "They?" unsure what he meant by that,
"What are you today Greg? Slow? We already had this discussion before" and he sighed ", sorry its my fault, you were out on the murder suspect and we had a really quick talk. They as in some top government officials." I nod and reply "Oh yeah I remember" leaning back onto my seat and I continued ", well we can't do much about it then can we?".
"Well currently not really, but they contacted us and they said that the plane may have dropped some cargo and that if any has been found it must be reported and brought to them right away. They said its 'dangerous' if found in the wrong hands, and if I remembered correctly didn't that young lady from earlier tell you that a box fell out of the sky?". I suddenly felt as if the room was closing in around me and I respond "No I don't think she has" and as I said this I see a frown appear onto Thoma's face. "But you clearly wrote in your notes quoting what she said! Greg is your memory going whack or something" he said handing over the papers. I grab it reading the notes that I saw from earlier and I notice the part where Greg wrote it before I possessed him. "Oh yes... sorry Thomas I'm just not feeling that great today" I say handing over the papers. "It's alright Greg the works gets to all of us" Thomas says.
A knock on the door suddenly interrupts our conversation and I let a quick sigh of relief as Thomas gets up to open the door. He opens the door and I look around to see Julie standing there and she says "The food order came in so come out" and Thomas replies "Greg and I are in a serious discussion right now so we can't eat out with the rest of you right now sorry." and Julie replies "Sure thing" and Thomas heads out to get the order while I am sitting there in his office alone. I look around and take a closer look at his pictures and I see a picture of his family. "Something Shannon and I don't have" I mutter and he comes in through the door as I sit back down in the seat. "Got your favorite" he said as he handed me a Chinese take out container. "Thanks" I reply as he gets back into his seat and starts eating his food as well. I open the box to find Egg Foo Young and I slip a disgusted face knowing perfectly well that I don't like whats in the box.
"Is something wrong?" he said giving me a confused face and I reply with an awkward laugh "No no" as I take out the chop sticks and eat the container of food. I slowly place the food in my mouth to expect that same disgusting flavor that I tasted from trying it before but for some reason this time the food tasted amazing to me. "Wow this stuff is great" I exclaim and Thomas booms laughing " Greg you tried this stuff so many times, of course its great. I mean you reacted as if you tried it for the first time" he chuckled and I reply "Uhh, well you know I'm hungry" patting my now large stomach. "You better watch your self Greg, don't want to over indulge your self now".
We continue to eat until we finished and he said "Well back to business, I need you to go back to the girl and find out what the box is and bring it back here". I gulp at the situation he is putting me in and he continues ". also I need you to do a bit of research on the plane. The only information we have on the plane is the the model number and what direction is was heading which is east. See what you can dig up and get back to me" and I reply "Uhh sir, I don't think I can get back to the girl today, she seemed like she didn't want any visitors for the rest of the day and we need to be on good terms with her" and he nods and says "Well go tomorrow, the sooner the better". I nod and disliked his response and he continued "Well get researching" as he led me out of his office "Oh yeah here are the pictures if you need them for some chance" and he shut the door behind me.
I find my self once again in the bustling office and I look around in confusion where Greg's computer is. I walk around casually to find that all the smaller cubicles are all taken with someone sitting down and I look back around thinking that Greg may have his own office like Thomas. I take a stroll passing by each office of people I don't know until I notice one office is entitled Greg Smith. I look around a bit frightened that someone will stop me but I take a deep breath and remind my self that everyone sees me as Greg Smith and that is good enough. I try the door to find its locked and I look to see it has a same scanner like Thomas's office had. I look upon Greg's uniform to find his ID in a protector and I drag it out to find that it has a little retractable line connected to it. I pull it and look at it to find a picture of Greg looking into the camera with a stoic face. Underneath his picture it reads "Police Investigator" with a bar code underneath. I slide the ID card underneath the scanner and I here a little click from the door to Greg's office. "Sweet" I whisper to my self as I grab the doors handle and open the door to allow my self. I quickly shuffle my way in and shut the door behind me to find a similar office like Thomas had. I turn around to notice that from Greg's office, he has a view of the rest of the office which leaves me feeling a bit exposed. I close the blinds to find my self in darkness, and I look around to find a switch for the light in the room.
I find a switch by the door and turn it on, and instantly the room is illuminated and a fan begins to spin on the ceiling. I walk around the office to find a few cabinets with a desk centered on the end of the room. I find pictures of Greg with his co-workers while looking at the wall around his room. I also find a big leafy plant in the corner of the room and I turn around and look at his desk. Planted to the side, is a wide 25 inch monitor and I couldn't help my self but grin and say "Man I wish I had this thing for my games" as I wrap around to the back of the desk. I sit down in a nice plush leather seat and place the papers in front of me as I look around the room from the desk of Greg Thoma's. I laugh slightly and smile thinking how cool it is to have my own office and everyone thinking I am some respectable police officer named Greg. I look around on his or rather my desk to find some piles of papers placed neatly to the side and I notice some pictures of Greg with a teenage girl and a young boy and his arms around a woman around his age as they all smile into the camera. I gulp "Oh god... I'm married?" and I look at my hand and notice a wedding band I never noticed or felt from earlier. "I flip the picture of his family to the other side, not able to stand the idea of being a father of a family and I mutter "Well I minus see what I can dig up on the plane" as I give the mouse a flick and see the screen light up. Instantly I moan as I see a screen flashing before my eyes saying "Enter Password Here..."
Suddenly I feel the office closing in around me and I gulp "Maybe playing cop wasn't the best idea..." | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
