'Amnesia', 43 years old, 6'2", long brown hair and short scruffy facial hair, still got those signature dead eyes, in a black vest, black jeans and black trainers with a muscular build covered in scars, cuts, whiplashes, burns and bullet holes with his autograph etched into his left forearm is doing pull ups on a door frame which creaks with every movement, facing a pot on a stove with a lid on , steam coming out of the top, just past a small wooden table with one chair at it. A sink at the right with one bowl, one plate and one cup, all white on the side rack next to a full window on the left...His phone rings.
He drops from the door frame and walks over to the table picking up the phone and answering it on the third ring, putting it to his left ear slowly...A woman's voice "what colour is the sun in the morning?"..... Amnesia in a rough voice "the river always runs red"....the voice "the target is on the move, 7 minutes before location goes dark...
Red flower in hat".
Amnesia sets seven minutes on his watch and taps on the wall on the left and a door opens ceiling to floor revealing guns and knives galore. The pot whistles as he's getting dressed and arming himself with enough weapons to start a war, he looks at his watch, walks over to the microwave and stands up three bullets inside that he's just emptied from a clip, closes the door, turns the microwave on full then walks past the cooker lighting a cigarette off the hob, ripping out the gas pipes on the wall as he's straight out the window onto the fire escape hopping over onto the next roof, five feet across and five storeys down... then he flicks the cigarette away, pulls his balaclava over his face so now he's in all black, gloves and all and starts running across the roof away from his flat which blows up fantastically as he hops over the other side of the roof out of sight.
He climbs down the fire escape into an alleyway where he jumps on a Ducati and speeds off just as his watch beeps for one minute remaining, He speeds out of the alley then suddenly stopping on his front wheel and turning with his back wheel in the air to face right as he hits traffic, stopping beside a family car, a kid who's playing with his action figures looks at him in amazement, sees all the guns and the twin katanas sticking out his back and gasps, Amnesia winks at him, wheel spins into a cloud of smoke and is gone when the smoke clears..... Amnesia is speeding down the street and pulls out a pistol with a long silencer on it and aims at the woman with the red flower in her hat getting into the back of a long black car parked on the left hand side, a valet holding the door open, more men in black stood around, the woman looks up directly at him just as Amnesia is about to shoot.......he puts the gun back into the holster on his chest and speeds off watching the woman watching him as he goes past, then off into the mayhem of midday Saturday traffic.
He hears through his head piece "errm despatch I think I just saw a guy on a motorcycle aiming a gun at the queen"...."say that again...wait...is the perp still on the scene?"...."no...no...black sports bike with red trim, perp all in black heading west on nearpoint boulevard.....he was quick"....."all officers be advised, black and red sports bike last seen heading west on nearpoint, suspect armed and dangerous... priority number one...".
Amnesia pops a wheelie shooting off at nearly 200 mph just as a police helicopter spots him and tries to keep up but can't....the helicopter is still on the same path scanning everywhere as they spot the boiling hot bike on the thermal vision in an alley then see somebody looking like they're trying to hide inside the building next to the alley.....police swarm into the building guns out shouting and a homeless man climbs out from beneath some cardboard boxes holding half a chocolate bar in front of him saying "here I forgot I put it in my pocket....see the thing was I never took my morning pill n that makes me hungry but then I forget.....n I just do stuff, you can have it back tho I don't even like it, it's got nougat, I hate that shit, I ain't even got no teeth....
Don't shoot me over no nougat"
A manhole steaming as two police officers check out the bike commenting how fast it is.... Voice on ear piece "it's a no go...it's just a hobo.....our guy could be anywhere now..."........"..we need as many officers as possible to help fire and paramedics at the explosion on Figueroa... suspected gas leak....."
Amnesia walking away through the sewers takes his phone out as it starts vibrating and snaps it in half, dropping it in the shallow stream a
t his feet.
