The workout

When I woke up, I looked around, confused. Where was I? But then everything came back to me and what was worse, my whole body hurt. I hadn't felt like this in a long time. It was only five and only now did I notice what had woken me up. A very nasty ring. I groaned and put on some clothes. Then I ran to the fridge, made myself a cereal, and stood by the window. A fine net was behind it. Presumably so that no one escapes. I finished quickly and then did relaxation exercises. Probably looked completely stupid, but it was really good. After that I immediately felt much better, since I assumed that I still had to train, it was much more pleasant without pain. I sat in front of the television and watched TV. I discovered myself on a transmitter. "A 17-year-old girl is searched in vain. She was last seen at a bus stop two days ago. The police do not assume a kidnapping, as no one has asked for anything so far. Instead, they are looking for a body. Man has little hope of finding her alive. "Said the speaker and you saw first a picture of me and then of search parties. I had to laugh. So ridiculous, I might as well have run away. The time passed like in slow motion. It felt like every minute was going to be an hour.
Finally after almost half an eternity there was a knock and I opened the door. “You should come with me.” Blacky said in a grave voice. I followed him through a series of hallways and halls. "Where do you have your trailer?" he asked harshly. I pointed to a clasp from which the pendant was securely attached. "Well, have fun then." he said sarcastically, knocked and disappeared. “Come in.” I hesitantly opened the door and stepped inside. A man around thirty was sitting behind a desk. I assumed he was one of the boss's henchmen. I took a few steps forward and then stopped."So you're the new one. What the boss is going to do with you. You don't look particularly strong." I shrugged my shoulders. "Well, I'll lead your training and make sure that you have everything on it in two days. Be prepared for a hard training." I nodded.

He got up and walked past me. "Follow me. You need equipment first. As I have heard you can do some martial arts, but all without weapons." "Yes." "Well, we can put your training on hand-to-hand combat. But you can't get around the weapons . "He stopped and opened a steel door that led outside. "You can only move freely after you have taken the oath. In two days." I shrugged my shoulders. We ran into a large open area. There were several wooden dolls on it. Ouch, that would really hurt during training. "So then give it a go." He ordered and I started moving. I showed him pretty much everything I could do. "OK, we don't have to do much more on your hand-to-hand combat technique. Well, I'll show you a few tricks now and you will imitate them." I nodded. He went to one of the wooden figures and fired a combination of blows at it. He aimed mostly at the sides and then the head. To do as much damage as possible to the enemy. I followed the movements closely with my eyes. Then he paused, "Now you." He shouted and I did the same as I did. Again and again. "Ok, and you really have it. Then try this." This time he only worked with his feet and finally the wooden figure broke. I was amazed that the wood was very robust. "Now you." I heard from his command that I had to knock over the statue too. I put all my strength into the strokes, but only after a quarter of an hour did the figure break. I was out of breath and panting. "So and now we come to the training. First you will learn to use a knife. You have already proven that in combat."He went to the back of the square, there were targets set up there." You will throw the knives until they hit the inner three clear circles. I'll check on you later. "He got up, pointed his hand at a pile of knives and disappeared." Great, that can be cheerful. "I said to myself, took a couple of knives, aimed and threw. I kept throwing, but I didn't want to succeed. I changed the shape of my throw, but I still didn't hit. I just didn't hit and hit. As the Man came back, I still haven't met. "You still haven't got it. "He called, pointing to the knives that were stuck everywhere, but not where they should be." Say you are not capable of anything. You should be killed, you're only harming us. "He screamed and stamped his foot angrily. I got angry too. I straightened up, but still controlled my anger and ran to the targets and pulled out the knives. Then I went back again." You are really a toddler , even a baby is better than you. "That was the shot down. I was seething with anger. I slowly stepped up to him. My eyes were only slits." One more word and you can experience something. "I growled and threw the knives. Everyone hit the bull's eye." How did you do that? "He asked, puzzled." I don't know, the less I think about it, the easier it is for me. "I said completely calm again.
It was only when I said the words that I realized they were true. That was my quality. That was why I was so good everywhere after my parents split up. He shook his head slowly. "Ok then we can turn the two training days into one. Follow me, we'll continue with the pistols." He didn't even give me time to breathe, he was already on the road again. "I'm coming." I called after he gave me a few impatient looks. We went to a bunker.It looked a lot like the prison. But instead of cells, shooting ranges were set up here. A gun was handed to me. “Just shoot it and don't think.” The guy actually looked for skills and adjusted the training. I stood in a stand, raised the gun, and emptied my head. Then I shot. And I met. People were moving and it was really hard to meet them. But every time I hit in the head or in the heart. “Unbelievable.” He marveled. "I haven't seen such talent in a long time. No wonder the boss wants you," he muttered while I was still shooting. "Well then we are now practicing the fight itself, you had big problems at first." He said and started running again, I had to jog after him. We ended up in the hall where my fight had been. I had to do several exercises and when he finally brought me back to my apartment I was totally exhausted, not even bothering that I hadn't had dinner. "I'll do everything to ensure that you are accepted tomorrow. One of the boys will pick you up." He said and disappeared.
I trudge into the bathroom and take a long shower. Then I ate dinner and found that it was already dark, around 7 o'clock. Then there was another knock. I got up with a sigh and went to the door. But nobody was there, just a packet of clothes. All black suits and a slip of paper.

* From now on you will always wear these clothes when you leave the apartment. *

Stood on it. I looked at the clothes in exasperation. Then decided to sit in front of the TV. "And again no trace of the missing girl ..." I stopped listening to the speaker. I closed my eyes and brought out the fond memories of my family. I saw us joking around on camera with Daddy at the zoo. I saw myself in the playground with Mom and how we baked cakes together.I saw myself with Lisa as we romped across a meadow together and tickled each other. I saw our first meeting on my first day at school, how long was that? The slideshow went on and on. I didn't notice how I slowly drifted off to sleep.
