Part 9: The Man Who Knew To Much
I was screwed, HT was between me and the door, he was stroking a big white cat that purred loudly as it lay cradeled in his arms.
“This will make a great April fools joke HT” I said trying to bluff my way out of the situation
“It would make a fine joke” he replied as he walked towards his desk “If in fact it was a joke”
“Ha good one Dale” I said forcing a laugh rather pathetically
“Please Mr Filth” he said as he took his seat “Refrain from playing dumb with me”
I knew the bluff was about as point less as straffing Tiger’s with the BB’s on the Hurricane …. and as I accepted this I became angry
“How on earth could you replace us HiTech” I said
“Please Mr Filth, Take a seat“ he replied
With out really thinking I sat opposite him, falling into the seat under the weight of the situation I had found myself in.
Placing the cat on his lap he opened his top draw and pulled a 12 year old bottle of Cragganmore Single Malt Scotch along with two glasses.
“Drink Mr Filth“ he asked
“Yeah” I replied and then with a sad chuclke “Shaken not stired”
“You don’t shake or stir Scotch Mr Filth”
“Yeah well You don’t take the players out of Aces High” I replied
With a frown he handed me the glass, I eyed it suspiciously
“Oh don’t worry, its quite ok” he said The bond villan voice was now starting to creep me out as did the Cat which looked at me, hissed and then looked back to its master for his approval in defending him…
“You asked me before” he paused to sip his scotch and scratch the feline under its chin “you asked me what stood in the way of the the future of AH… Do you know what that is”
“A mad man and his five man army” I retorted
“Really Mr Filth lets be civil” he took another sip “What stands in the way is the players…”
“How can you say that, with out us its just another empty Warbirds arena We make the game damit”
HiTech started laughing, and yes it was a Bond villan laugh of the highest order and a cold chill ran down my spine.
“Let me show you something Mr Filth”
He reached into his draw again and tossed a small cd case over to me, I opened the zip and as I read the labels a foggy memory of taking a Red pill washed over me.
“Are you shocked Mr Filth ?"
“No this cant be.” I was shaking my head in disbeleif
“It true Mr Filth… It has been for quite a long time”
I knew then that I had to escape with the evidense, the community had to know the truth….
Almost as if it knew what I was thinking, the Cat hopped onto the floor walked over and sat next to me, it seamed to be guardng the space between me and The door .
“And now Mr Filth it is time to say goodbye…”
HiTech reach under the edge of his desk and pressed a button, to the left of me a trap door opened in the floor….
“Arghhh Crap” He said, no more Bond villan voice “The cleaner moved the chair again…”
I laughed and said “Well so much for your Cat”
HiTech shot up from behind his desk and screamed “Fluffy Nooooooooooooo !!!!”
I knew this was my only chance, I jumpped up and dove over the open pit, I ripped the door open and ran into the hall way…
From behind HiTech yelled… “Stop him he knows too much…”
