New Dimension
2038 Words
Teks opened the cover of the trash can, searched and saw the phone. Was he taking the right decision? Why did he come back? He knew a part of him wanted to run away but there was something holding him back. Something he could not explain.
“I knew you will come back for me.” It said. “May we do a proper or formal introduction? I am Zuyx. Zayx Zirux.”
Teks held the phone, feeling the vibration as it spoke, aware of the chattering of his teeth.
“What are you?”
“I am a phone.”
“Who made you?”
“They made me, to make life better for the world but I chose you. I want to make life better for you.”
“Why me?”
“Fate and luck. You were my pick.”
“You did not pick me. A guy gave you to me in exchange of weed.”
“That is the path. The blueprint was there before the act. It is just a plate of the blur print. We are destined to be together.”
“I asked who made you?”
“I must make it clear that our bond id defined. I am the helper and you are the needy. I show the way and you follow the way. I teach and you learn. I give and you take. I am the superior here and you do not ask me questions and except me to answer to all.”
“Do you realize that I can leave you here in the trashcan and you will helplessly rust here?”
“No, I won’t. I have a way with people and so many would be glad to have me. I am not your everyday phone. I am phone with super humanity. You will learn more about me as we hang along. Okay, I know you are broke. Let me start by making you some money.”
“Really? How?”
“Okay, let’s leave here now that you got your sense back. We are going on GR77 GF455 In Tango 55.”
‘”What the hell is that?”
“The coordinates…sub coordinates actually.”
“Coordinates of what?”
“The price. The money. It is there and a lot of people don’t know.”
“How do I locate it? I don’t know what dimensions you are using for the so-called coordinates.”
“The new dimension.”
“What?”
“Shut up and listen. If you talk this, I wonder how long it will take you to learn me. I got packs in me so relax and learn. Now, you will go to APPS, click on Coordinate converter. In put GR77 GF455 In Tango 55. Then click on Earth Location after the conversion is done.”
Teks followed the instructions and said, “5667-A, Abbey Drive.”
“Okay, we have to get there at least four minutes, thirty seven seconds before 1: 00 PM.”
“This sounds crazy! My God! Why am I doing this? I am crazy.”
“You are about to lose some amount of money tonight. Let us go.”
“I don’t have a car. How do we make it in such a short period?”
“That a car over there.”
“I don’t own it.”
“That is the point. How would you like to have anything you want in the world? Cool huh? Let us go and get that car. We will unlock the security system, pronto.”
With the guide of Zuyx, Teks opened the ca, started the engine and drove off. They arrived Abbey Drive, pulled up the car and took a short walk.
“Can you see that building?”
“I see a building with three armed policemen guiding it.”
“That is safe house. Listen to me, there are treasures here saved by people. Your interest is Vault 88LX. The whole building is highly secured but you will go and pick the money with ease?”
“How? This is day time. I don’t want to go to jail.”
“There are six policemen here. Three by the entrance and three in the computer room, monitoring all images on the CCTV camera.
The safes are termed to be in filterable. So the policemen are not really concerned about the safes but watching anyone coming in and leaving. All we need is a five minutes distraction, you go in there, break the safe and get the money.”
“Zuyx, I don’t get what you are talking about? You make it sound do easy. I get high but I am not that crazy. I am not doing this…”
“First phase, the dimension of the building is 300 by 400. Go to Confined App, click on bio-mark, you will see six figures. Activate ‘Fantasy Travel’ and then click on time and make sure it is five munities. The Wave Master will blank the electromagnetic waves so the CCTV will have nothing substantial on records.
Immediately you do this, the men are off for five minutes. You have to do everything within the five minutes. The safe is on Ratitude 5667 and Rotitude 0012, entwined on GTV7. The serial security lock number is 55566644433222 in 70 permutation and combination folds. The owner has a device that plots the coordinates but you will have to use the raw number module.
You will have to cut. Bio-search connected with thumbprint, and use former print. They don’t know the pattern lingers when not deadened so I can outline the print patterns and match with print-pass. The safe will open, get the money and we leave.”
Teks looked at the phone and laughed.
“You are some crazy phone. How do you expect me to grab all these strange words you mentioned?”
“We need a connect and there so many things we have to do. Now, open my Memory.”
Teks did that.
“Make sure the camera lights on my back are pointed at your forehead.”
Teks did that.
“I am going to laser-connect my memory to your thick skull. Tap on the red Icon you see there, and then close your eyes.”
Teks followed the instructions.
Immediately he tapped on the last key and closed his eyes, he saw a total darkness before the burst of a pack that released a strong light.
He felt something pass through his skull, and made his brain felt so cold and then so hot and he almost screamed. The pain was sharp and brief.
“Congratulations. Your brain just got better. You won’t forget a word of what I say. Now start…”
Zuyx was right. Teks could remember all that it told him. He also noticed that this speed had increased.
Then his vision changed. He could see the six policemen all displayed on what looked like a screen in his vision.
One of the policemen suddenly stood attention while many policemen saluted. The President of the United States was standing by him.
The second policemen was in a yacht, with three beautiful girls enjoying fruits and wine.
“What the hell are you waiting for? You are watching their fantasy lives instead of going for the money.”
Teks understood that the men had their brains altered and plunged into fantasies. That was the distraction.
He gained more confidence and moved towards the entrance. The cops seemed to be smiling and standing by the door but their minds were far off and Teks could see their fantasies.
He located the safe, followed all the programmed instructions and opened the safe.
Whoa!
He saw money and felt his hearth thumbing.
“Get that pack there. Throw its contents away.” Zuyx said.
Teks arranged the money in the pack.
“Let us see how the cops in the computer room are doing. Okay, I mean go and pick a gun from there.’
“A gun? Why?”
“Safety.”
“You said I am safe.”
“That is by my calculation. If you wasted any time, like watching their fantasies or something, then it is your call. We must be proactive.”
Teks found the room. The policemen were still in their fantasy worlds, unaware of the realities around them.
Teks removed two guns from their holsters.
“Good.” Zuyx said. “Leave now!”
Teks had just taken three steps when he saw two policemen come inside. They were part of the three policemen outside.
“Hey, what are you doing here?” One of the policemen barked. Teks could not see any fantasy image around them.
“Zuyx…” Teks began.
“Don’t Zuyx me. You have a gun.” Zuyx said in what sounded like a whisper but it was texted messages which translated into swords and read in Tek’s mind.
“That was not the plan.”
“Plans change. I told you not to waste any time. There is only one option, shoot them both. You are faster than they are. Kill them and leave. The agency knows that a safe has been opened and the owner will receive an alert. If you don’t leave in exactly two minutes and eight seconds, you will be arrested and remember, I am just an innocent phone.”
“You son-of-a-bitch.” Teks said and removed the gun. He could see the cops try to raise their guns but they were too slow for him.
Bang! Bang!
He fired shots at them. One of them dropped dead at once while the second one tried to run but got a slog in the back.
There was no going back now. He had to clean the whole mess. He moved back to computer room to find the policemen coming back to their senses. They wondered what happened; they seemed to have lost some time they could not explain. And they lost two guns.
“I am sorry folks.” Teks said as he went into the room, “it’s a whole new dimension.”
He pulled the trigger continuously, making sure each of them got at least two bullets.
He had killed five cops.
Bang!
A bullet zipped pass him. It was the last cop.
If you don’t leave in exactly two minutes and eight seconds
He raised his gun and fired a shot. The cop dropped dead. He wondered how his shots were so precise. He ran out of the building and got into the car. He started the car engine and drove off. He heard sirens approaching.
Thirty minutes later, after dumping the car and arriving his house, he had the money spread on his bed: one million dollars!
“I told you to stick with me. All the money is yours.” Zuyx said.
“But you did not tell me that I will have to kill. I have never killed in my life and there will be investigation.”
“I have calculated all the coordinates of the investigation. You are outside the hook zone. You did not have a choice. You had to do the right thing.’
“Killing cops is the right thing?”
“Killing someone who is about to shoot or arrest you is the right thing. Listen, the world is not like you see it. You have the do the needful to survive and be part of the new dimension. You get and give. I mean you just made one million dollars and reduced five enemies. Have you ever been a friend of the police? No. you sell drugs to survive and the police will never let you be. Stop thinking about that and have a chill. You got money now. You need new clothes, a car, and most important, start the journey.”
“What journey?”
“Preparing you for the new dimension.”
