What the Future Holds

What the Future Holds

It was a bright sunny day in London and Milo was sitting in his favorite chair drinking ice col lemonade. He was enjoying his drink when he got a phone call. His house was kind of small but homey. He went through the back door and took the call.

It was a very unusual unsuspecting call. The voice was different but he did recognize it. Oscar never usually called like this. It was a call from his manager. His manager seem to disguise his voice so nobody would know but Milo know who it is. "Milo," he said. "I need you here stat, ASAP!"

"Ok, I'm on my way," said Milo. Milo pressed a little switch on his watch and he disappeared into thing air.

Oscar saw Milo in an instant. Oscar was startled by Milo appearing so fast. "What took so long?" asked Oscar.

" I got here as fast as I could! Why? Is everything ok? You look like you're having a nervous breakdown!" said Milo.

Milo heard Oscar sigh then Oscar started talking. "Something terrible happened. It didn't happen today or a few hours ago or the past."

"So, when did it happen?" aked Milo.

"In the future, which can hurt everyone if you don't do something!" said Oscar. Oscar heard Milo gasp. "The pipeline in Alaska is in danger in 10 yrs.! Someone with all their knowledge in technology will break in and ruin the pipeline. Just by doing that the whole world can be destroyed!" Oscar said. Oscar looked like he was about to cry just talking about it. "You're the only one who can go out in the future and fix this. You're the only onw with the brains of technology that can out do him. "Please WE NEED YOUR HELP!" Oscar pleaded.

Milo looked bemused. What if something bad happens to him in the future, and he knew about this the rest of his life? What if something changes? "Ok, I'll do it," Milo said nervously.

"Good" said Oscar. Oscar looked like the like went back into him. "Now, all you need is a laptopn so I can stay in contact with you. Also dress trendy so you don't look like an outsider. I will have to teleport you there as soon as you're ready." Oscar's British accent sounded a bit shaky today.

Mile had gotten his clothes which were a bit odd but no one really knew what the future will hold. He stood underneath the teleporter. Oscar started to press some buttons and Milo was on his way in 5 minutes. "i want you to be careful Milo and just try to do what you have to do: no goofing of!" reminded Oscar. "Godd luck and be safe when you're finished with the job contact me with your laptop. Don't lost it, it's the only way you can contact me."

"Ok" said Milo. Milo was teleported as soon as he said "ok".

Milo landed somewhere near a huge builing. He gravitated toward something he thought was a car, but he moved away as he came close. It was just a robot. He looked up to see what was going on. Zoom, Zoom, Zoom. Flying cars! He had never seen so many. He really didn't know where to go but he was doing a lot of sightseeing. The buildings were at least 50 stories high and flying cars were so cool! There were so many bright lights everywhere it was amazing.

The people were dresseed very oddly, just as Milo, but even more oddly. The teenagers looked even more weird than their parents. He was lost but then he saw this beautiful girl. She sparkled and as he walked she looked like she was fleeting or flying. Milo almost dropped dead just by looking at her. She came closed and closer and finally stood an inch away from Milo. She smelled like a bouquet of red roses.

"You're not from around here are you?" she asked.

"N-N-No, I'm not" he stuttered.

"Are you ok? You're sweating!" she said. "My name is Rebecca Morris."

"Milo Steel" he said.

"I can show you around if you would like," Rebecca said.

"I hardly know you and you're being so nice to me, why?" he asked.

"I always help the cute guys," she flirted.

"So do you know where the pipelines are around here?" he asked.

"Why?" she asked.

"Oh, no reason, I just wanted to know if there was any way we can get there," said Milo.

"Well, you will never be able to, it's protected and sealed with so much security you won't be able to get passed it" she said. "I can try to help you but it will be hard" she said.

Milo was thinking about her notions. What did she really want and why was she helping him so eagerly? He didn't want anyone to know he was a spy so he went along with her.

Milo and Rebecca did finally get to the pipelines. A Rebecca said it was said it was covered with security. There were guard everywhere plus if you go inside without anyone noticing an alarm will go off. Milo tried to be as careful as possible and Rebecca followed him. He had some trouble on the way. He didn't want to hurt anyone but in this case he had to.

"You can't go in there!" a guard said.

"Why?" Milo asked. "We're just tourists."

"Nobody's allowed in there," said the guard.

"Well, in this case you're going to have to make an exception" Milo said. With one kick the guard hit the guard. Finally they got there and Milo was in awe. He had no access into the place but with a click on his laptop he got it.

Then Milo heard someone laugh behind him. "Thanks, Milo you made it so easy for me. Now I can do what I came here to do!" It was Rebecca. Milo was so furious. He knew something was suspicious about this girl. It was too good to be true. "Gotcha!" she said laughing.

Rebecca started moving really fast and kicked Milo in the face. He was down and couldn't get up. He was impotent. As soon as he got his strength back he got up to see Rebecca starring back at him.

"I can't believe you fell for this. Someone as smart as you should've known" she said.

"I fell for you, that's all," Milo said angrily. "I don't like fighting girls, but you're making me."

In a split second they both looked like they were flying, trying to kick each other.

"Just give up Milo, you can't win this time! The whole world is going to die including you and me sso might as well leave me!"

"You're right, I'll go there's no point," said Milo.

He left her confused but Milo wasn't done. Rebecca was starting to do something and the world was halfway to its death. Milo took his laptop out and with a few clicks everything was secured again. Rebecca was trapped and she didn't know what to do.

"YOU TRICKED ME!" she said furiously.

"I know I'm cute, but I'm not STUPID," he said laughing. "As soon as you step outside the alarm will go odd and there is no way of escaping!"

"Yes there is" she said. She pulled out a knife and killed herself.

Milo was traumatized. He didn't move for a whole 5 minutes. Sadly he took out his laptop and contacted Oscar.

"Everything ok?" Oscar asked.

"Yes, the job is done now please let me come back!" yelled Milo.

"Ok, Ok what's the rush?" said Oscar. As he was going Rebecca lay on the ground and so did that bulky guard whom he killed before. The last he heard before he left was laugh and hw knew he'd be back here someday to finish it off.
