Chapter 1 THE BUNKER

THE rain fell quietly over the streets of THUNDER

BAY officer Steve Williams sat inside his patrol car the

faint glow of streetlights reflecting on the wet road. It

was supposed to be another routine night shift.Steve

stopped his car and parked it on the side of road. Being

tired he took a few sip of coffee that he had with him

and lied on his car seat.At that time he slowly fell into

sleep.The rain poured down heavily .Now the rain has

become so intense that it was hard to see the road

even with headlights turned on .Suddenly Steve wakes

up hearing the loud ringing of his mobile resting on the

car dashboard.He quickly woke up and checked his

phone.It was his superior Kenedy Robhood. when he

picked up the call; Kenedy said,

”hey Steve you have a quick assignment to do.This time

it is not a normal patrol .I want you to head towards

the thunder bay drug research center a suicide case has

been reported there.I have already sent David and

Robert there.I want you to watch over things and

superwise them”.

At that time Steve was in half dream and he gets out

from his car washes his face in the nearby river and

prepares to go and check what’s happening there.On

the way he calls Madson his collegue and best friendand asked details about incident so he can understand

the situation Madson picks up the call within one or

two rings and said ” what happened Steve how can I

help you “

Steve replied,

“Madson I want your help with something,you see the

thing is Kenedy called me now and told me to go and

superwise a suicide case at the drug research center.So

do you have any ideas about what is going on and why

he choosed me while you are there.”Madson replays,

“yeah the thing you heard is right Steve. I take it

troubles finds you rather than you finding them.And

that Kenedy wants to put you into more trouble.You

know that David is the human form of stupidity.so if

Kenedy sent you wih him means he don’t want you to

solve it or confirm it.The trouble was chosen for me I

think.But since me and that dump is not in good terms

so,Kenedy changed his mindand chose you.Man you

don’t have to do anything more than just writing it off

as a suicidal case so good luck buddy”and Madson

smirks by saying this.At that time ; Steve said,

“yeah smirk and laugh all you want Madson,oh god

now I have to tolerate him please lend me the patience

for it”.

Madson laughs and replied,

“Don’t worry Steve everything is going to be

alright.okay”.

Steve said,

“I hope so anyway I am nearly there,I will call you

after all this mess is over” when steve reached there

David and Robert where questioning a doctor and

David quickly came when he saw Steve and paid

respect then Steve and David walks towards the

incident area.And when Steve saw the dead body and

took a close look he saw a precise cut on his neck.

Steve said ,

“hey David don’t you think something’s off.something

inside my mind says that this isn’t a normal suicide.if a

person try to commit suicide he won’t think of making

a precise cut enough to drain his blood and on

neck.Unless someone else did came here and was

waiting to kill him “.

At that time David interrupted,

”sir how you can say it for sure maybe being a doctor

he might have checked all of these”

Steve looked at David and said,

”David I know you are here to make it a suicide

somehow.But this is a murder with no evidence”.

Later Steve checks the crime file and came to know

that the person who is dead is Edward a well known

drug researcher when he went through the file he also

understood that a few hours before there was a

meeting of researchers where conducted there and

Edward was also a part in that meeting so he suddenly

said David to contact the researchers who where with

him and gather intel from them. David suddenly finds

the meeting report and calls Dr.Ron who was a senior

researcher thinking that he might know something

about the incident. soon Dr.Ron reaches there and

when David asked him about the incident he started

explaining what happened. all these events occurs in

the presence of Steve .

A few hours ago at the research facility

famous doctors from all over Canada reached there to

attend a meeting. It was not a normal meeting. It was

lead by Edward a well known drug researcher. soon the

program began in a setup where Edward stand infront

of a projector screen and others sitting in chairs facing

the screen.He was presenting his new drug invension.

Edward started his presentation,

”ladies and gentle man I am here to present and

introduce my newly invented drug which can bring a

big change in the investigation field.The name of the

drug is ‘UNDEAD’ this is a drug that can bring back a

dead person not completely but can reactivate that

person’s brain for a few days.so that the dead himself

can tell what had happened to him. so I want all of your

permission to test this drug.I spent 10 years in

reasearching this drug.so I think my hardwork won’t be

in vain”.

At that time he expected everyone to appreciate. But

the exact opposite happened.

His senior Dr. Ron suddenly stood up from his chair and

said,

”what the hell are you talking about!!!...have you gone

mad.First thing it is not possible to bring dead back to

life.The second thing is to investigate these cases there

are already people who have qualification. Are

planning to make them worthless. And what if this

doesn’t work on every cases… then what are you going

to do..Anyway, I am outa here”.

Dr. Ron came out from the meeting room and left there

in anger .so others started getting out by scolding and

bad wording him.

”after that I don’t know what happened”. said

Dr. Ron with a long sigh.and he added,

“ I don’t think Edward would do such thing .soon after

it he called me and informed that he destroyed the

files and samples of the drug “.

But I felt his sound strange. and suddenly hung

up the call.“that’s all I know “.Dr.Ron said. At

that time David after hearing said,

“yeah people would change Dr, may be he might have

thought that there is no need for him to live anymore,

so he ended his life”.

”David that’s enough I know that you are well talented

in making things up that’s why you still don’t get

promotion. So Dr you said that Edward won’t do such a

thing how are you this much confident about him?”,

asked Steve. Then Ron said,

”he have sufered a lot of faliures in research and spent

more years on other research. if he had such thought

he might have ended his life long before”.

then Steve said,

“oh then that explains that his death isn’t

suicide.thank you Dr for your cooperation.Now you can go back to Calgary have a safe journey doc”. Dr

thanked Steve and left .

Steve and other two left the place when the

procedures where finished in the end with no evidece

they were forced to write it as a suicide.on the way

back they were traveling together.

David asked,

“But….sir why did you agreed to call it a suicide when

you where sure that it was a murder instead?”. Steve

turned his eyes from the window and said,

”look David I know it is murder but we can’t prove it

by blaberring stupid made up stories .we need the

damn evidence”. David replied,

”oh that’s why you chose to call it a suicide right “.

Steve said,

”yes now focus on the road and drive”.

Soon after they left five people emerged from the

backyard of that center and their leader a 6 feet tall

man showed them signal to move. all of them were

wearing black rain coat which is soaked in blood.As rain

fell down the blood slowly rinsed off from there coats.

There on the hands of there leader we can see a project file which is the same project undead along

with a sample of it. they ran off into the deep forest

and reached a creepy old bunker. there they hands

over the file and one of them said,

”boss here is the file and drug sample you asked for”.

that person takes that file in hand.In that low light his

face became visible. He started to laugh loudly like a

dream of his came to life.

Two months have passed now days in Steve’s life

went well. but not soon before various missing cases

started to get reported. and the people who went

missing there corpses now started to show up various

places in Canada.And the thing is all of the bodies

where half decayed even though they went missing just

the day before.just as usual Steve reaches to his office

on time and the news in the tv which is in his office was

conveying more and more misteries related to it .

“now dead bodies started popping up in various places

in canada what might be the reason behind it .Is it any

hint towards something big …..”. Steve told David

sarcastically,

”David I think you got a good competitor in news no

even more blabering than you are .i don’t know why

wierdos like you pop up you know it is really a pain”.

David replied,

”hmm. !!defeat me huh, sir still I am standing here and

can make scary conclusion more than that guy do you

want to hear it sir..?”.

Steve said ,

“one is enough you know people are loosing there

damn life there. so atleast this time be truthful to

yourself ”. David said”sorry sir my bad I will try my

best “. at that time Robert rushes in Steve’s office,

”sir..!!sir!!!“.

he was gasping longly like something bad happened he

said,

”sir it’s Madson he went missing now. I warned him

not to jump into that bunker case but he did.now he

is not responding to our calls and all connection to

him has been lost hours ago.” Steve stood up from his

chair astonished and said,

”what the hell are you talking about Robert!!..why

didn’t you informed me when you lost contact huh!!...”.

Robert repllied,

”sorry sir it was my fault plus our superior sir Kenedy

told me not to tell you this now”. Steve noded and

continued,

”do you know the exact location Robert and explain me

what happened when I was away..”.

Robert tries to recall what happened and started

saying,

”sir it was about 7.00pm Madson just arrived, late as

usual and was blabering about the movie he saw

yesterday….”.

the scene suddeny changes to the same station 4 hours

before .Madson enters the station with a smirk on his

face.Making an expression that he is going to achieve

something today by arriving late and lazy as usual .He

walks towards Robert’s table.

“hey..man how’s it going. you have to hear this you

know what ?.yesterday I watched a horror movie. I

really liked It. The level of fear they put into it was

enough to make it feel like we are in the movie .each

scary moment was perfect like I haven’t seen such a

movie in life..”

Robert looked at Madson with a pissed off expression

and said,

”hey Madson are you always like this.Stop your buildup

man ,you tells about every movie you watch in this

way. look you are already late and now you are bugging

my head instead of working. Go and do what you have

to first ,then blaber all you want okay”.

Madson becomes angry,

”why …you…son of a…..”

Before Madson could finish.suddenly the phone in

the station rang.It pierced the silent atmosphere of

the second floor of that station.

Madson suddenly after hearing the ring,

”who in the hell that might be ,I think you have got a

saviour Robert ,but don’t think that you can get away

that easily. first let me check who is that .then I am

gonna punch you In the face you show off.” Madson

gets out from Robert’s office and heads towards the

lift . Presses on floor 2. When the lift reached second

floor he walked towards where the phone was placed.

since there was not much people like in daytime the

station was awfully quiet he suddenly picked up the call.On the other side of that call an unkown person

started to speak,

“Is it thunder bay station?, I am calling from thunder

bay reserve forest .” Madson paused for a second and

blasted with anger and said,

”what in the world are you doing in forest don’t you

know that this time bears usually hunts for pray

huh!.do you want us to tail you and investigate your

death while pains are adding up on our back

huh!.people like you who doesn’t obey rules usually

piles up when tragedies occur and becomes a pain you

know that “.

That person interruped,

”sir…please listen to me I am not intending to cause

you any trouble I saw an incident and it might help on

your further procedures on this missing cases”. Madson

calmed his voice and said,

”alright then tell me what do you want to share but

keep in mind if it is a fake info then you have to pay for

it I will put you in jail and pull your soul from that body

of yours”.

stranger paused and said,

”sir i know the consequences and this info is true not

some fake now just a moment before I saw 3 people

wearing black hoodie with wiered mask on face came

on a van here and threw someone’s body to the lake

and their van headed towards the deep forest when I

trailed them they headed towards that old bunker in

the middle of that forest I think that must be their

hideout “.

Madson after hearing this info quickly took his car key

and started his car.The car’s engine growled in that

silent foggy street and Madson headed towards the

bunker.Steve after knowing that his friend has been

trapped on a dangerous place he becomes eager to

follow Madson’s traces and get him out from that

place.just when Steve was going to head towards the

exit his superior Kenedy Robhood stopped him,

”and where are you heading now Steve ?.right now we

don’t know what condition Madson is in don’t be a

fool okay.” Steve raised his voice and said,

“what do you want me to just sit here and let my

friend get killed out there by some wild animal”.

Kenedy was sure that Steve won’t jump into things

without any plans in mind.He gave an expression that he got convinced and headed towards his office and

brought two guns and a few bullets with him.And said ,

“Take these with you. if anything bad happens feel free

to fire a few shots, okay Steve.I am certain that you got

a plan in mind.but in case you need help or

reinforcemen ask without hesitation we cannot risk any

of our men not at in a situation like this so I assume

that you heard me not in the wrong way.” Steve with a

kind expression thanked him and started his journey

towards that bunker hidden in the wilderness of

thunderbay.As his car pierced though the dark and

foggy road the tension increases bad thoughts infects

Steve’s head.All of them was showing Madson’s

death.As he reached at the small muddy road leading

towards that bunker .He stopped his car and decided to

go their on foot since the road was filled with tree

trunks and thick fog. Steve heads towards the bunker

and the road became narrow as it reached towards the

bunker. Steve gazed through the thick fog and saw the

entrance of that bunker. covered by vines and roots of

trees, just looking at it gave him the creeps. He slowly

headed towards the bunker and saw Madson’s car and

the bunker door was half opened. The roots and vines

had cuts on them showing somebody went inside of the bunker already. Steve slowly opned the bunker

door.It opened with a loud creak . And Steve went

inside.He slowly pointed his flashlight towards the

deapth of the bunker.The beam of light cut through the

darkness…but it didn’t reach the end.Suddenly

something inside moved Steve pointed his flashlight in

that direction but nothing was there.Steve froze for a

while .

This wasn’t the end of a case

It was just the beginning of a nightmare that will hunt

Steve making that night an unforgettable night in his

life………he took his gun and prepared to shoot.Beneath

his foot in the deapths of that bunker something evil

was waiting impatiently.who knows what it might

be……
