Division in time- Epilogue. THE THREAT

It was a rainy night and the few meagre droplets of rain had become strong transparent drops, which hurt as they fell. A figure was slightly visible - a chubby man running through the lonely streets, covering his head with a briefcase. He turned roughly into an alley and, a few seconds later, let out a scream.

“I told you I could find you”, said a manly voice.

“We made a deal, you aren’t keeping it!” exclaimed the man nervously, holding his briefcase closer to him.

“I am aware of that”, said the voice calmly, “but you promised me information on your experiments…something you didn’t manage to get for me this week.” He grabbed the man’s neck.

“I just couldn’t get them this time! I can’t keep doing this, he is my friend! I can’t keep doing this to him!” He lowered his tone.

“If you don’t want to find that doctor of yours dead, then you’ll have to get me those experiments!” said the man raising his voice. “Do I make myself clear?” he calmly added. The chubby man nodded, gulping.

“Good. Now, you’ll go with your friend and act like nothing happened. Or you know what I will do”, he said in a threatening voice, throwing the man to the floor.

The chubby man stood up quickly and looked for the man, but he wasn’t there anymore.
