For a moment
he wondered what the hell they were talking about, and why they
were there, and gasped and he realized that he had made a mistake
in coming to London, and that he might not be able to achieve his
mission, and he jumped up on the back of the toilet and tapped the
glass window testing its thickness, reassuring himself, and
realized if he broke the window the noise would be tremendous!

Just as he was
standing contemplating it he heard a cough and turned and saw the
policeman standing staring at him, with a half smirk, and he
finally remembered that he had not locked the door, and the
policeman swiftly grasped him by the waist and lifted him down and
threw him across the floor.

He slumped
over and rolled over the floor, and he realized the police were
clearly all local, and had been visiting there for some time, and
he sat near to him.

They tried to
get him up and to the door, with him collapsing all over the place,
and they got annoyed and started wrestling with him and they both
lifted him up and he started trying to stop them and grabbed the
doorway as they tried pulling him through and they started pulling
his hands away, and he had them pull him across the floor by the
legs, to show people in the bar their treatment of him, and he
clutched a wall furiously to stop them, and they grew annoyed and
his behavior and tried to pull away his hand and gripped and pulled
at it and him and he refused to let go.

They gripped
his legs and dragged at him and were surprised that they could not
get him to budge, while looking about making sure that nobody
interrupted them, but he kept gripping and they furiously tugging
at him, and he spotted the other policemen discussing whether they
should help and he watched locals leaving and realized he had to
escape no matter what.

The policemen
tugging at him stopped and started talking to the other police and
he felt their grip on him loosen and he swiftly pulled their hands
away from him and ran into the toilet with unbelievable power,
where he saw them turning and starting to chase him, and he rushed
into the cubicle and jumped straight through the window, protecting
his face with his hands, and he went crashing down outside, into an
empty lane, and ran away as fast as he could and was amazed his
speed increased faster than he had ever seen anyone run, and, just
as the outside of the pub vanished into the distance, he saw one of
the policemen push glass away from the window for him to look
out!

The
Gunmen

 

Out of a silent empty dark lane a
high-powered rifle blasted out as Cameron stopped to rest and see
where he was going, and he saw where it had smashed a chuck of
stone out a nearby wall with astonishment, reacting to its
magnitude, especially in the silent empty region!

It was so powerful it made him freeze and
prepare to collapse and die from another shot, and when it never
came he shifted away to an area out of the firing line, and he
started wondering how deadly the police were there!

When nothing happened he rushed up a wall in
seconds and darted through a garden and went away along another
lane.

Whoever was after him was crazy and out for
the kill and he realized how stupid and deadly it had become, and
how stupid he had been putting himself in such a dilemma, and he
rushed away with fury!

He could not realize who was there and just
accepted that they were trying to kill him, and as he rushed away
he suddenly realized he recognized a lane he was on and he recalled
things on it before he came to them, and tried to think of anywhere
there he could hide away!

For some reason he realized that there was
something there that he should know about that was important and he
had been there before for and he attempted to grasp it but could
not and he could understand why, and searched for the name of the
lane and got the name of a road it was joined to, and he ran away
as fast as he could, ready to hide if anyone appeared.

Cameron spotted a phone box and hid in a
dark garden behind a hut and searched through his pockets for the
change for the call and found it and searched through all the
things he had collected for any taxi adverts and grew annoyed when
he never found anything, and started feeling the lining of his
jacket, sure he had once put something there in the jacket before
he had lost his memory, and searched for anything, and desperately
removed the jacket and ripped the lining open and searched through
it and was surprised there was a card taped against the side of the
jacket and hidden away where it could not be found.

He read it disappointedly as it was
not a taxi and just a strange woman

s business card, which he could not
get as he could not fully understand the writing, and was sure the
woman was foreign, and he shoved it back, put his jacket on, and
rushed over to the phone box and looked inside and spotted a
taxicab card and gasped and grabbed it and searched everywhere for
anything, and vehicles accelerating fast, and he removed change and
phoned a taxi and rushed away a hid, and waited.

 

Chapter 5

 

The
Phone Call

 

The problem now was he had to try and find
out how to accomplish his mission and he decided that they could
have traced him to his hotel room, but he needed his stuff in the
room, and he decided to enter the hotel late at the night.

So late at night he arrived there in a taxi
heavily disguised and he sneaked in and rushed up the stairs to his
room, and stood outside the room listening behind the door,
examining everything for the signs of anyone having been there, and
even tried examining the carpet for anything.

He considered as far as logic was concerned
there was nothing to kill him for! But why had someone shot at
him?

He crept in the door examining everything in
the dimness and saw there was nobody there and quickly shut the
door behind him, and started collecting all his things and packing
them away, examining them for being checked by anyone, and as far
as he was concerned they had not traced him there.

He swiftly left the room and hotel and went
to his new hotel, which was out the way of the police and anyone
there.

Over and over he considered all the people
who were capable of shooting at him and realized that it had to be
the police! Its coldness made him cringe, and his blood swiftly
rushed through him, and he considered sending a complaint
somewhere!

In the morning he finished all his
beer off and studied the card of the woman he found in the lining
of his jacket and still could not recall her or understand what
connection to him she could be! Her name was
Sandra Dory
and the card and
her profession were incomprehensible to him! Yet by the look of the
card he was sure she was a hooker!

So in the end he decided to phone her from
the phone in his hotel room even though it could be traced!

A
woman with a sexy voice asked him whether she could be of
assistance and he realized that he actually should not directly
give away his identity as if she told someone of him he would be
making a mistake, so he asked her, “Do you still provide all your
normal services?”


Yes!”
she replied, sexily, and he realized she must be a hooker, and
decided he could use it to meet her and question her.


Thank
you!” he replied firmly, and replied with the first thing he could
think of. “For starters I’d like you to dress like the Home
Secretary! Swear at me and tie me up, grab me by the legs, and
swing me around the room like a helicopter propeller and throw me
onto a bed! Then jump up and down on me wearing naughty
businesswoman costume! What do you think?”


That
sounds great!” the woman shouted back. “But this is the hotel
reception! If you want an outside line I’ll put you
through?”

He swiftly agreed and waited and the phone
rang and a woman answered the phone with an identical voice to the
hotel receptionist, which he could not establish the difference in
and sat wondering if she would do such a dirty trick, and wondered
what she would do next.

He quickly picked up a newspaper from
the bed and flicked through the pages and examined sections until
he found something in an advert, and called out,
“I bought a movie from you and there’s
nothing on the tape but static!”

She remained
confused and laughed for a few seconds, allowing him time to think,
and she replied, “I’m sorry about that! Which title did you
rent?”

He quickly
replied with the first title he saw, and replied, “It’s called the
Head Cleaner!”

She laughed and told him to come round and
return it and told him her new address, and stuff about herself
before she hanged up, and he knew it was her and he somehow
recognized her!

Cameron realized he had been lucky and that
if she knew him that he could tell her what had happened and try
and get information on what was happening, and he rested on his bed
wondering if he had finally found what he was looking for and the
answer to all his unsolved problems!

When Cameron finally decided to leave and go
to the hotel bar first, where he drank far too much after thinking
of the three soldiers back at the army camp, which he now seemed to
do every time he thought of them, and he left and was surprised
that the receptionist girls winked at him, and he gasped
embarrassingly, and watched their faces when they recognized his
famous looks.

Cameron left
towards a bar where he got into a taxi, and rested there, and felt
tired from the previous day and not getting enough sleep that
night, and he was still in the need of a long rest.

He wondered
what he should do if she was just a hooker, and realized perhaps he
should have a good time, and perhaps she had some information that
she might conceal and she might reveal it somewhere.

It was
incredible that when he checked the internet, with his phone, he
found articles in different newspapers of the police and their
search for him, after he was spotted in a bar, and with
astonishment he read articles claiming that he was a bank
robber!

He was left
baffled and not knowing what to do! He had to avoid them and find
out what was happening! He believed he was not guilty!

It also
surprised him to read of their racehorse and of the three soldiers
and of how they had secretly let it loose to roam some desolate
woods and that the army denied all knowledge of it, and he spotted
a mention of Sergeant Malone and he knew he had made the claim, and
there were mentions of the horse attacking people after a nun had
been attacked and he realized that he took it that it had not done
anything other than trying to sink its teeth into them and he read
it through and realized that at the most the thing had only scared
and knocked them over
!

It was incredible how secretive the alien
crash was, or whatever it was, and that they were claiming it was
different things such as old space debris and satellites!

He then read
the full old article on the horse being traced to the three
soldiers and where they had bought the horse, and where the Ebay
seller had bought it, and had discovered why the horse was
different and that the horse had genetic alterations and that it
had been crossed with killer lions!

Cameron
recalled the first time he had seen the horse and when the doors of
the bar seemed to explode apart and it shifted into his sight in an
altered motion!

After a few
minutes Cameron spotted the taxi driver’s mouth and him
occasionally watching him in his mirror, and he examined him in
detail and realized the taxi driver might have seen a wanted
photograph of him, and he sat thinking of what to do.

Cameron
decided to get out the taxi at another location, where he could get
to the address without walking too far, and he was sure that the
taxi driver never knew that he was staying at the hotel, and he had
not given his identity there.

So once out
the taxi and it had vanished into the distance Cameron rushed away,
realizing he had to gain as much distance from there as fast as he
could, and he rushed away at an incredible acceleration racing
through streets, while trying to make himself look like a
jogger!

When he
finished his mission he had to prove his innocence, and he could
not allow them to capture him now!

What surprised
him was when he closed in on the address he started to know his way
around and knew it was nearby, and he slowed down and rested as he
approached it, and realized that he had seen her new address and he
wondered why she had suggested on the phone that he might not have,
and he realized that she had forgotten about it.

To his
surprise he marched straight to the house, leaving him staggered at
how he could do such a thing, and he put it down to his
subconscious mind and body as it ran his entire body and everything
else!

He realized the dangers he could be in there
and if she was connected to the gunman, who had shot at him, and he
raced through what had occurred since he had arrived in London!

The strange dream had surprised him as he
had thought that if it could have been a natural source and that it
was either the army camp and outdoor environment or all the
drink.

Next he had realized that he had picked up
the dream entirely wrongly or his mind had altered it, for some
reason, and it had not been about him turning into a werewolf but
of the alien crashing down into the wood.
