ENC 1101-B3 & B4: Writing for Discovery

Two mysterious strangers enter the classroom. The men had an evil aura about them. They walked over to the teacher and whispered something in her ear. Moments later the teacher says, “Billy will you please come up to the front of the classroom?” Billy slowly gets up out of his seat and walks halfway to the front and stops—then he suddenly bolted towards the window and crashed through it. The two men rush towards the window and look all about the ground; nothing or no one is in sight.

Meanwhile, Billy is running frantically looking for some place to hide, he sees a tree where he can rest and catch his breath. In a gasping minuscule voice he says to himself, “What could they want with me? I’m just an eighteen-year-old boy.”

Back in the school the two men bolt out the door and head out of the school, once outside one of the men yells out, “Billy, where are you? We’re not going to hurt you!” Then one of the man’s cell phones begins to ring, he answers it and all he says is, “Ok”, and then hangs up. The men proceed on their search. They stop under a huge oak tree that is not too far away form the school.

The tree began branch Billy was sitting on began to creak.

The men heard the noise and looked up.

—All of a sudden the branch, along with Billy fell on top of the two men.

They were knocked unconscious instantly. In fear of the men waking up Billy ran and ran until he reached his home. He ran inside and yelled for his parents, yet no one answered. He walked into his room and noticed…

The two men began to stir and eventually managed to push the branch off of them. They noticed a trail of muddy footstep leading towards town, so they decided following them in hope that they were Billy’s.

…A man sitting on his bed holding a gun, He told Billy not to move or he’d shoot him, so Billy entered the room and closed the door. The man apologized for threatening Billy and he told Billy that he was not the enemy, and that there were two men following him. He introduced himself as Drake Jennings, an undercover operative who has been tracking Billy for some time now.

The footprints lead the two men to Billy’s house and they bust inside. They were ransacking the house looking for Billy.

Just as Mr. Jennings was about to tell Billy why he was tracking him, they heard a loud clamor in the house. Jennings told Billy to get down and he’d heck it out. Billy hid under the bed and Jennings slowly opened the door and peeked outside.

The two men noticed that there was one room left that they had not yet checked. The saw it was cracked open, so they headed towards it.
Jennings saw the two men approaching, so he slid behind the door awaiting their arrival.

The men slowly pushed open the door looking all around. The first man entered the room only to be hit in the back of the head with Jennings 9mm. When the other man saw him drop he kicked the door all the way open knocking Jennings out.

Billy looked on cautiously through under the bed, but when he saw Jennings fall to the floor he yelped.

The man heard the noise coming from under the bed so he flipped over the bed only to discover Billy.

The man tried to exclaim that he was the good guy here and that Jennings planned on killing him after he gave him the location of the program Billy had written. The man told Billy that they were both FBI agents and he was in a lot of danger.

Billy didn’t know whom to trust so he didn’t tell the man anything. The man Billy his badge that proved himself as an FBI agent named was Jonathan Miller. Miller went on explaining that the program Billy wrote could bring artificial life to a new level and that Jennings was a spy whom wanted the information for war purposes.

Miller then handcuffed Jennings and called for a car to pick up the spy.

Billy then went on to give Miller his program and received pension for his creation.

Miller’s partner woke up with a pretty bad headache and thanked Billy for all his help. Billy went on to become a well-known programmer for the government.
