The Script of Evil

43 The warning

Kadin smiles at Nico. "Professor Johan is not here yet, but he will be live on a giant monitor in the lecture hall. He can see us through two cameras at both sides of the monitor. He says there is an internet connection. Look there against the concrete roof. Do you see the security cameras? They only waited until you have arrived and informed him and he awaits us probably now in the lecture hall just as he waited and surprised us when we arrived."

Rene frowns at Kadin. "Kadin, you are terrifying me! What do you mean by the civilization will be annihilated? Do you comprehend the implication of what you are saying? You say the most horrible things. How will all city dwellers change into man eating monsters? You are talking as if is a fact and casually as if it is okay. You are looking so excited and cheerful to show us the place. I simply don't understand. This is so unreal! I think it is the devil in your head."

Kadin looks into her eyes. "Mother, you don't know how difficult it was for Billy and me lately. We are so relieved that you found us here and we can share everything with you. It is a heavy weight that dropped from our shoulders. Every evening the prophet visited us in our dreams and showed us many things that we had to keep to ourselves because you wouldn't understand. In the meantime, we had to let you get your way with us and carried the burden silently. We know it is terrible that the world is going to be destroyed. I don't even know where to begin to enlighten you. I only know no one can stop it. It is too late and our group here is lucky because we have this hideout. We simply had to get you here for the professor to prepare us before it is too late. Billy and I everyday see people around us who are unaware of what is going to happen soon and we wish there were methods by which we could change things and could warn these people, but we don't know how. We discussed this frequently and we have a rough idea to use the internet, but time is running out and we don't know exactly how to do it.

"Mother, you don't understand why I am so excited. It is because we are relieved that you all are here and that our dream once again became true. Now we can show you and take you to the lecture hall so that the professor can prepare you, just as he did with us, for what is going to happen soon. We were worried because we didn't how we could convince you to listen to us. And it is surely a matter of life or death. In effect worse than death and then we dreamt and that gave us the solution and showed us the only way is to run away to this place and what then automatically would follow. And look: you are here! It is happening."

Kadin looks at the group that gazes at her dumbfounded. "Come let us show you everything; then you can see for yourselves. It is too difficult to explain. Professor Johan will do it much better."

Kadin pulls Rene's by the hand and they all follow her. Billy opens the door at the end of the room and they walk down a long corridor while Kadin explains: "Here are five identical sleeping units."

She opens the first door and leads them inside. "Look, here are built-in cupboards with a large clothing space at the back side where you can dress yourself with clothes on the open shelves and a full length mirror. Isn't this cool? Then there is an adjacent bathroom with a shower, basin and a toilet. There is a mirrored cabinet and a desk and even a computer with a printer. Each bedroom has a double bed consisting of two single beds should the occupiers choose to separate them. I saw bedding for single beds as well. There are two inflatable matrasses in the cupboard. Maybe for a couple with small children. Also there is a folding cot should there be a baby. And look! Here is the remote for the air conditioner and the flat screen TV opposite the bed against the wall. The professor explained that the place was equipped so that ten people can survive a month without going outside.

"We are now going to take you to the dining hall, the kitchen and the store and also the workshop where the battery bank and a generator are stored. You will see we are well equipped. There is even a gym. The fridges and store looks like a supermarket. Ten people will easily survive here for a month before stores run out and we will have to challenge the outside world to replenish our stock. There are even special weapons and gas masks with special combat uniforms with hard surfaces to protect the skin in the store room ready for use for those that must go and get supplies. Let's go and have a look at it before we go to the lecture hall."
