This choice: One of the men has a question. • Go Back...Chapter #4One of the men has a question. by: Unknown Marcus and Michel looked at each other before they broke to laughter, while in the background, Renee's sobs could be heard faintly. ''What's the matter darling?'', Viktor cooed, mocking the dishevelled woman, kneeling beside her son's dead body.
''Viktor'', Michel called out.''You mind if we try these out?''
Viktor was pleased to see that the two men had willingly accepted his offer. For a moment there, he was thinking about disposing them in the case that they choose not to believe. There're countless others anyway that would be interested in his drug.
''I don't bring her here for nothing!'', Viktor nodded. ''Go on. Careful you might just die though.'', he grinned widely, as though taunting the French to chicken out.
Michel hesitated for a second, but Marcus glowered at him. The Russian clearly mocked them. Michel sighed, he did the same thing Viktor did and the same strange smile appeared on Renee's face. Renee stood up, then, wiping the tears from her face hastily, she began to laugh.
''Marcus! It worked!'', she yelled on top of her lungs.
''Oh? It gets better.'', Viktor smiled. He grabbed a gun from a bodyguard and shot Michel's unconscious body twice. ''I hope that didn't cause an avalanche.'', while Marcus looked aghast at the two neat holes that went through his countryman's head and chest, ''What the fuck did you do?!'', Marcus jumped towards Viktor, only to get swatted back by the two bodyguards.
''What?!'', Renee ran over to inspect her former body to see it riddled with holes.
Viktor went to explain more information about the drug. ''When you're inhabiting another body, and your real body dies, the body you're inhabiting becomes your new permanent body.'', he continued while Marcus and Renee tried to get their head around the fact. ''My friends, I'm afraid that the drug is not and never will be perfect. You see, most people will die when they use the drug for the first time and there are people immune to possession as well as a certain type of drug that can make people immune for a set of time.'', he stopped for a while, ''you need to be in close proximity to the person you want to possess.''
''So you mean, I'm stuck in this pregnant body forever?!'', Renee exclaimed.
''Nope. You can use 'Dust' again.'', Viktor eyed the packets. ''But you'll have fifty-fifty chance of dying again.'', he sneered at the last comment. ''In any case, it's better for you to be inside that delicious body and without the pesky agents on your back. Who'd suspect that a soon to be mum is a criminal that controls some parts of southern France?''
Marcus and Renee talked in French about various things, while Viktor waited, he was happy enough to wait for the conversation to end. The two bodyguards carelessly pick up Antonio's and Michel's inanimate bodies and tossed them inside the room where Renee was kept earlier.
''What do you want from us?'', Marcus asked plainly. He knew that Viktor was not looking for a financial compensation.
''Now you're talking.''

A Jeep made their way down from the mountain. Viktor, the dapper-looking Russian. Marcus, the crew-cutted Frenchman. Renee, the sexy voluptuous Italian woman, the baby bump conveniently hidden under 'her' thick clothing. And two thuggish bodyguards on the front seat. Something that resembled the cast of an overly stereotypical Hollywood movie about mafia. ''I feel like the Godfather.'', Viktor mused.
The Jeep drove through the dead of the night, snaking its way on the streets of the town of Bolzano. It went past the still bustling town centre into a more quiet rural area, headlights now turned on, the Jeep picked up the speed. Marcus and Renee dared not to sleep a wink, while beside them, Viktor felt contented enough to fall into a deep slumber. Their destination was a house where Renee and Antonio used to live in.
''I hope you don't forget our deal.'', Viktor beamed from inside the car. Marcus and Renee stood outside an unlit house, in a hand, a set of keys and a kilogram of 'Dust' in the other. ''And man up will you.'', Viktor looked at Marcus.''Try it, I'm sure you'll love it.'', and with that the Jeep drove away.
The new Renee scanned the inside of the house. It was warm and comforting, typical of a family house. She scanned the surrounding and saw numerous pictures of Renee - the old Renee- and Antonio, spanning several years. The absence of a man in any of them drew an obvious conclusion. Renee swore as she felt the baby inside her although she was aroused by the whole thing.
