The Adventures of Atticus King
"Come with us." Igor says. You don't know if Edwin knows, but you can tell that you’re their prisoner. Why didn't they kill you even though you killed ten of their men? You walk in awkward silence.
"So Comrade, what’s your gag? What do you want from us?” You ask
“It’s what I want from him.” He pointed at Edwin.
You nod, “So you want, what? A taco throwing book geek?” Edwin shoots you a nasty look. You return it with a wink. You’re up to something alright. “Oh yeah, Comrade, What is this energy source?”
Igor sighs, “Ancient Mayan Texts say that they were once nothing. Just another people living in huts. Prey for larger tribes. One day, they found something in the mountains. They say it was even given to them by gods, but I’m not buying that. It’s a crystal that could power their whole civilization. It built the Mayan civilization. There is only one in the whole world. Every hundred years, it releases its unused energy in huge electric pulses. We simply want to tap into the huge energy stash to benefit humanity.”
“Or make weapons of mass destruction.” You say. Igor looks the other way.
“Igor!” someone yells, “We it’s just up ahead!” It’s the last chance to escape!
