Chapter Twenty One

The guards dragged him down the hallway and while he did his best to fight and struggle against their grip the whole way, their powersuits gave them all the strength they needed to make his escape impossible. They moved down a blank looking hallway for a few hundred feet until they reached an elevator that took them deep down into the Martian bedrock where the Enzeli prison had been constructed.

“Let me go you overgrown piece of steroid shit!” Meade roared. The two guards threw him down to the ground and Meade rolled until he landed against the opposing wall with a resounding “Oof!”

“Thanks…” Meade said sarcastically rubbing his injured head. The guards ignored him and moved to the opposite end of the wall where a terminal was set up. Meade checked his fingers for blood and after deciding that they hadn’t damaged him too much, took stock of his surroundings.

It was stark white with no furniture, lines, or even an entrance where they must have come in. It wasn’t a particularly large room, barely fourteen by twelve feet. There was no paint, and nothing to distinguish where he was, or what this room was used for. It didn’t look like any torture chamber Meade had ever seen or heard of, but then, the Coalition didn’t exactly advertise what those looked like.

“Better than my first apartment, but it lacks a woman’s touch in here, don’t you think?” Meade asked, hoping to get a reaction out of one of his guards.

They continued to ignore him while they typed on the terminal. Meade looked at his handcuffs and considered his situation. The MPs were wearing powersuits, powerful pieces of technology that allowed them to carry large amounts of heavy, high powered weaponry as well as the latest in defense tech. He wasn’t about to take them on without any weapons to even the odds.

Meade twisted his handcuffs, hoping that the duraplating steel they used might have some weakness. If he had some a pin or a length of wire, he might be able to pick the lock, but so far he had no luck finding anything he could use in the barren room.

A panel seemed to melt out of the wall, appearing next to one of the guards who watching him. He shouldered his rifle and moved towards the panel, typing quickly on the display. The panel flipped down and revealed a medical bed that was covered in wires and IV lines. It rolled out from inside the walls and the guard busied himself over the bed, preparing it presumably for him.

Meade’s face went white and he began beating his hand against the wall as hard as he was able. If there wasn’t any wire to be had, he might be able to break his thumb and slide out of the handcuffs that way. Unfortunately, one of the guards noticed what he was doing and grabbed him and lifting him roughly off the ground.

“Easy there,” he said as the guard pushed him towards the bed, “You could at least buy me dinner first.
