chapter 17 | the language of the mad

“Commander Faddig, I have something you need to hear.”

Faddig was seated at his desk, poring over communications and maps. He waved the young man into his office and nodded. The soldier handed the officer a pair of army-issue headphones. The cups surrounded the commander’s ears, canceling out all external sound. When the broadcast recording played back, Commander Faddig allowed a smile to grace his cheeks.

“This is perfect,” Faddig said, as he removed the headphones and stood. “They think there’s reason to celebrate the spirit of mankind? We’ll show them just how frail and broken that spirit is.”

Faddig grabbed the nearest radio and hit the call button.

“I need full deployment ready by Friday. I want every flavor of undead trash you have loaded up on three planes and ready for takeoff to New Salt Lake City. We have a party to crash.”

The commander hung up the phone and nodded to the other soldier.

“You just made my day, young man.”

The soldier saluted. “Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.”

Faddig nodded his dismissal. The soldier turned on his heels and marched away. Once the soldier was out of sight, the commander picked up another radio and hit the call button.

“Dr. Otte, I need Subject 002 ready to deploy by Friday.”

Faddig was greeted by silence.

“Otte, do you hear me?”

Again, the commander was met with silence.

“Shit,” Faddig hissed, as he left his office and raced toward the medical wing.

When the commander turned the corner that led directly to Subject 002’s room, the sounds of a struggle quickened his step. He raced to the door and when he yanked it open, Dr. Otte fell backward out of the room. Subject 002 stood in the middle of the room, his breath coming in ragged gasps, the muscles of his chest and arms flexing.

“Secure that…that thing immediately,” Otte shouted.

Faddig raised his hands in a calm gesture of peace.

“There’s no need for violence here. SITREP.”

Subject 002 sucked in a great breath and released it in a low growl.

“He’s confused and violent.”

Faddig turned back to Otte. “I can understand why.” The commander turned his attention back to Subject 002 and raised his hands again. “No one is going to hurt you. Everything is going to be okay.”

Subject 002 turned his attention to Commander Faddig.

“What is my purpose? What am I?”

Faddig glanced back at Otte. “What brought this about?”

Otte finally got back to his feet and stood behind Faddig. His voice was barely audible as he whispered in the commander’s ear. “I was going over the details from Munich and it finally dawned on him that he had no personal memory from that period. It was then that he became violent.”

Commander Faddig quickly weighed his options and decided the truth was the only path to success.

“Your life only recently began. We created you for a very specific purpose. The woman you’ve read about, Bethany Nitshimi, she is your target. We are going to send you to her and you will then bring her back to us. That is all you need to do.
