The 39 - Day One

Officer Ryan Mcleod slowly walked forward, gun raised. “We know who you are!” Ryan’s voice echoed in the lower storage compartment on the Haven Colonial Cruiser.

No answer replied back.

“We know who you’re with!” Ryan called out again, “Come quietly and no one else needs to get hurt!”

“You would like that wouldn’t ya?” A voice replied back. “Who’s the rookie here? You or me?”

Ryan started to move towards the voice.

“I promised you a wealthy life on Haven!” The voice kept talking. “You could’ve had your own piece of land to call your own on the new world! But no, you had to go and ruin that!”

Ryan got closer to the voice as he reached the end of a corridor of boxes. Ryan tapped his bluetooth headset again, but still the same static as before. He was in this alone, well at least partially alone.

He tightened his grip on the gun. Ryan walked forward when suddenly, the cold steel of a gun barrel touched Ryan’s forehead. “You just made the biggest mistake of your life,” the voice said smiling.
