Today I got an email explaining that the orphanage was completed. That the Foundation would be transporting the children to the new orphanage, and that they would meet up with me. I had told everyone yesterday that we would be moving into our new homes today, so getting everyone ready wasn't difficult at all.
We all had breakfast together like usual, the only difference being the 'magic' battle taking place. When that was done, the kids and I made our way through the factory. We rode the trains, walked down the halls, and finally into the beginning entrance.
It was cloudy today, with light snow fall. The weather was cold enough to clearly see your breath, but no one was bothered by it. The clothes that I had given them, the ones made of demonic wolf fur, had the cool ability to always be warm. Even if it was negative whatever degrees outside. If you had a shirt made from the stuff you were golden. Your legs would be freezing, but your chest area would be perfectly fine.
The parking lot and green area were all covered in a layer of snow. We stayed outside for some time. Some of the kids, having never seen snow before, looked on with curiosity. The kids that had seen snow before decided to have a snowball fight. It got kind of chaotic, luckily no one got hurt. After, which we started making snowmen. We made 'guard' snowman to watch over our old home.
It wasn't black vans or SUVs that came, no what was driving up towards the parking lot were school buses. There were four buses in total, which was enough to transport all of kids. The buses rode in fine order and parked just at the edge of the parking lot which was only about four meters from the entrance door. When all the buses stopped, the first bus`s front door opened.
Out of it came a well dressed older black man. His hair was that of a gray color, but the problem was that he had a huge balding spot on the front of his head. I mean the guy was only growing hair on the sides, and at the very back of his head. To be honest it was-
One of the little kids, Henry who was had just turned 6 years old now long ago, looked at him and said.
"Mister…what`s wrong with your hair? Why is it like that?"
The man gave a fake shocked looked and quickly brought his hands on his head. Then he said to the child.
"Well, my hair must have flew off. I tell you what if you can please find it for me. The darn things keep flying away."
The Henry and the other kids giggled at that.
"Don't worry, if we can't find it Max can. He always finds stuff, but he is bad at hide-and-seek though.
"Well. I will be sure to ask Max for help if we can't find my hair. Alright now, I need all of you to come on to the bus. We will be leaving for your new homes. Come on come on please."
It didn't take long for all the children to be loaded up on the bus. During the whole time I tried to get on a bus but was stopped by the older black guy every time. The only thing he would say was 'sorry, your ride will be coming soon'.
Marie, Ashley, and Matthew weren't happy about it. They threatened not to get on the bus without me, but I told them that it was fine. That Mr. Carter probably had something special for me, since I was his beloved grandson. They still weren't happy, even after I explained it to them. I had to basically beg for them to get on the bus with the others. I had to tell them repeatedly that I would be fine, and that the kids needed them.
They eventually agreed and got on the bus. Waving at me as they got on. They yelled at me to hurry up, and that they couldn't wait to see the place. I waved at them and said my goodbyes and that I would see them again soon.
As the buses left, I felt like a parent who just saw their kids off. I couldn't help but feel bitterness about the whole thing. This was the second family that I had to see leave me. I couldn't think about it for too long as a black SUV came up to the parking lot not long after the buses left.
The person that got out of the vehicle was that same lady, that I had talked to a few months ago. She still looked like she hadn't laughed or even knew what a joke was. She arrived next to me with her fully armed bodyguards and said
"SCP-8937. We will be going to site-17 there you will be process through the Foundation system, you will always undergo a series of medical and physical examinations in accordance with standard Foundation procedures." She continued on.
I just nodded at her as she told me all this stuff about what was going to happen, and whatnot. It was kind of boring, and I was bored…so I only got the first part of it before my mind started to wonder.
"8937? Are you paying attention?"
"huh? Yeah you said stuff. Anyway more importantly, what is going to happen to my friends. Remember if anything happens to those kids…I`ll kill you" I said as I smiled at her. She couldn't see me smiling at her because of my mask and all, but still.
"Duly noted. Your friends will have been given amnestic. They will forget about you but will remember the events that happened here. We will be observing them for any anomalies that they might show. If nothing shows then we will treat them as best as we can, as was agreed upon. 8937, please remember that as long as you assist and cooperate with the Foundation. I guarantee you that the children will be living long and happy lives."
"Yeah, I know. You keep your end of the deal, and I will keep mine."
She gestured me to follow her to one of the black SUVs. When the car door opened, I was able to see the inside of it. It was the same vehicle that I had rode in the last time. The no windows, guards, seats that would hurt anyone`s ass and a bar gate, that looked like it belonged to a police car, blocking the driver`s side of the car.
I looked at the inside and then looked at the woman and said.
"Is there ANY! Other way to get there? Maybe we could like I don't know, drive normal vehicles or something that doesn't hurt my ass and smell like body odor?"
"8937. Please get inside the vehicle. We wont be traveling for long. We only need to get to the airport, once there we will be flying the rest of the way."
"Ughh…fine. But it smells in here. Also how long is the ride there?"
"We will get there when we get there 8937. Please get inside the vehicle."
"Okay. Okay fine. Hard ass bitch."
I got in the vehicle and just like last time sat between two fully armed guards. They wore tactical black vents, and a helmet. There were three guards across from me, with the same uniform. The vehicle started to move. It was about five minutes in that I said.
"So, did the bigwigs upstairs tell you guys about me?"
I looked around and no one made any moves. So, I continued.
"I will be working with your MTFs. Sounds fun right? I wonder what MTF you guys are? Curious. Curious. Curious. I will be an SCP MTF agent. Does that mean I have more privileges than you guys. Well, that is assuming you guys are all white. White makes right..am I right?"
The guards continued to just sit there, doing nothing.
"Oh come on that was funny. Seriously what are you guys fucking robots. Geez, you can fucking talk you know? Joke around? Move around? You know normal human shit. If an SCP is saying you need to be more human, then what does that say about you all? Whatever fine, be all tactical bullshit silent or whatever."
It was like two fucking hours later, that the car finally stopped. Thank god, the smell was getting to me. Not only that but my leg had gone to sleep, and my ass was numb. The door opened and I got out as fast as possible.
Which probably wasn't my best idea, as I startled some of the guards with how quickly I got out of the vehicle. The guards surrounded me and had their weapons trained on me. I put my hands up in surrender and said.
"Look, it smelled like straight ass in there. I needed to get out of that environment."
The woman walked up and when I saw her, I continued to speak.
"Look lady. I don't know about the Foundation`s financial situation but seriously tell these guys to take a fucking shower."
She sighed and said.
"I will keep that in mind 8937, please follow me. Our air transport is waiting."
The area that we were at was an abandoned airport. With grass growing on the runway, the air terminal that looked like it hadn't been used in years, and the airport radio tower looked run down and halfway to falling over.
The only thing that was up and it looked like it wouldn't break down was a military aircraft. I didn't know the specific model of the aircraft, but I think it was a C-130 or something like that. It had two engines on each side of its wings, the damn thing sounded like it was ready to take off at any moment.
The damn thing was massive, well for my short butt anyway. When we got to the back of the plane, the back door started to open. Inside were tied down equipment, box crates, and other military gear. The sides of the cargo plane had passenger seats, or what looked like passenger seats. There were seats, that had extra straps on them. I assumed that was to make sure that when the doors opened no one got pulled outside or something like that. The damn things had more seat belts than a hardcore roller coaster ride.
We continued to walk inside the plane passing by researchers, armed guards, and the crew of the ship. They were all doing whatever kind of job they needed to do. The lady had brought me to the left side of the plane, towards the passenger seats.
"Sit 8937, We will be leaving shortly" I felt that this was weird. Why would the Foundation just go with this? Shouldn't there be more security? More of something, armed transport or something similar. I know I have a deal with them, but that was all verbal agreements nothing written. The Foundation was being too trusting on this, and it didn't feel right.
"A little too trusting, no? I mean I am not mad or anything like that but still. Makes me wonder"
She looked at me and said.
"Should there be a reason not to? Are you going to try something? Do we need to worry, increase security details?"
"N-No…just, well. You know your group isn't known for being all nice, like this"
"I am fully aware of what some of my colleagues do, I have read reports from the ethics committee about it. I have said this many times already 8937, but it is my hope along with some of my peers that you will help the Foundation and humanity fight against threats that we simply can`t face alone."
"Yeah…you and me both."
