Agent Out of Time

What was happening? He was supposed to do this part, was his last conscious thought.

Alex shook his head, as thought made its way back in. There was a sound. What was that sound? He was on a plane! A plane to where? His head came up sharply on the thought of that.

"Ahh, Alex I see that your awake."

Alex looked around fearfully, "Where am I? Who are you?"

"One question at a time please. You're on my plane, more specifically your somewhere over the Pacific near New Guinea to be exact. As to who I am, I'm Borden Chantry and my lovely apprentice responsible for bringing you here is Maria Christina."

Maria walked into the picture in a black suit her eyes decidedly unfriendly, in comparison with their former erotic invitation.

Alex stumbled over himself as he spoke, "Why am I here? What do you want with me? I demand to know!" Alex demanded growing more bolder.

"You, I regret to say Alex are a mistake, an oversight if you will. You see I run an agency that works for good in all endeavors. As you can imagine we have a lot of work piled up to take care of. Our back load forces us to prioritize what we work on and what order we get to it. I regret to say your family's proclivities for abhorrent behavior in regards to your fellow mankind was placed much too far down on the priority list. That oversight has been brought to my attention and I am pleased tell you Alex that you and your family's enterprise are currently at the top of the list."

"No please!" Alex begged sensing this was going badly for him.

"This is no time to beg or show weakness Alex. Not if you want to survive."

"What's going to happen to me? What are you going to do?" Alex asked, already feeling sick inside.

"Oh it's not what we're going to do to you Alex, it's more or less what your family will do."

Chantry gestured to someone behind Alex, "Temple if you would, remove the trash from my plane please."

Alex was hauled up to his feet, as the side door of the plane slipped open. Alex stared out in fright at the fast passing wind and the tiny spit of sand down below in the ocean blue.

Maria stepped close to Alex, "Ready to join the rest of your family that's been involved in your little enterprise? You'll be the last one to join the party. Oh just as a heads up, if you hadn't noticed, it's a really small island. We calculate that its resources should be enough to support one human. Happy hunting Alex! It should be a real fight to survive, every tortured moment of it. Oh I almost forgot."
