[QUOTE="talien, post: 4347299, member: 3285"] [b]Nemo Solus Sapit - Prologue[/b] Ever since he returned to the United States, Guppy was a hunted man. He was a celebrity, claimed by the Indian government as one of their agents, denounced by the Pakistanis as a rabble-rouser, and denied by the U.S. as having anything to do with CIFA at all. GNN had taken a peculiar interest in him and it seemed like they were dedicated to tracking down his identity. Guppy was returning to base when a van suddenly screeched in front of him. He slammed on the brakes. Out hopped a news team pointing a camera at his head. A pretty blonde stepped out and shoved a microphone in his face. “Mr. Gupta! Margaret Ellens, Global News Network: Is it true that you’re the agent who single-handedly saved Indianational 270?” Guppy threw the car in reverse, backed up, and tore around the GNN crew. He couldn’t go back to base using his normal route. As dusk fell, Guppy suspected he had a tail – at least a few times he thought he saw someone pointing a camera at him from the passenger side of the pursuing vehicles. He slowed down at the sight of colored lights up ahead. A knocked-down telephone post blocked the road. Emergency vehicles were at the scene. A patrolman waved him down. “Telephone post just decided to fall. It'll take us a while to clear this up so I'm afraid you’re gonna have to take the long way home.” Guppy drove down a curvy road toward an old bridge. There was something definitely creepy about the deserted place. He checked his mirror to see if he was still being followed… And looked back just in time to see an older woman standing smack in front of the car. Naked. And about to be hit by his vehicle. Guppy swerved to avoid her and slammed his car into the railing. Metal screeched as Guppy struggled to regain control of the car and finally broke to a halt. Guppy looked in his rearview mirror: the woman was standing back there. He guessed she was drunk or high, and in any case completely out of it. He stepped out of the car. “Lady, are you crazy?” As he got closer, Guppy could see that the woman was covered in bruises. Clearly something horrible had happened to her. She was probably in her forties, and had a busted lip and black eye. “Lady?” The woman suddenly gripped Guppy’s arm, hard. She reached out to touch his face. Her movements were desperate, smothering. Like the movements of a drowning person. “Hey!” shouted Guppy. The woman tried to speak but no words coame out. Instead she produced a strained, wettish sound. Suddenly she was prying Guppy’s mouth open and she was much stronger than he expected… The woman opened her own mouth wide like a snake. And as Guppy muffled a scream, blood started leaking out of the woman’s eye sockets and from wounds all over her body. [/QUOTE]
