Arcturus and the Gun Man
Chapter 1: Who in the wild stupid old world are you
Arcturus’ day started normally well as normal as usual well that was until the black cars arrived it was 2:31 am technically he was supposed to be asleep but he never slept it was a bad habit of his he was even more surprised when someone walked out of the black car and went upstairs to his room through the window.
Who the hell are these people and what do they want me for
“Who in the wild stupid old world are you?”
“Arcturus McGregor come with me.”
“How do you know my name!”
Creeps
“Arcturus McGregor come with me.” they repeated this time more forcefully.
“WHO ARE YOU!” He was shouting now.
Then a second person stepped forward and pulled out a stick
They muttered “sorry”
His last thought was about what
Then all went black.
Next thing he new he was in a car driving down a pitch black motorway
“Where am I”
The Driver spoke it was the same person who had talked to him earlier
“You have been asked to come to TNSC headquarters.”
“What?”He never got an answer
Two hours later, the car stopped in the middle of nowhere.
“Get out”
He stepped out into the sunrise he blinked
Why is it so bright
He was escorted to a lift.
When they got out the lift he realised he was deep underground
“Follow me”
He followed the escort through what was like Labyrinth.
The escort knocked on a heavy steel door
“Enter”
The door opened
“Ah, you have arrived”
The voice was coming from a grey-haired man behind a desk
“Welcome to TNSC we have been expecting you”
“Who the hell are you and where am I”
He sighed
“This is going to take a while sit down”
He sat down on a chair
“You are at the Trans-National Spy Corporation Headquarters and I am General Styx and you Arcturus McGregor are needed”

Arcturus and the Gun Man
Chapter 2. Threats, Guns, Shooting just a normal day or is it.
“Me, you need me you’d be better of hiring an onion.”
General Styx spoke again “yes you.”
“Your stupid then.”
“No I’m not you are stupid for thinking you can’t do it.”
Just then the two agents who were behind him brought out there pistols. Bang. Two bullets fired out there guns one both of them hitting The General in the heart.
Arcturus’ eyes went wide and ran. The gunmen ran after him. He went through room and room trying to find something to protect himself with at last he found a pistol.
useful but don’t know how to use
He searched some cupboards and found a stick like the one that had hit him earlier
Yes
Just as he was about to go out the room the gunmen cornered him. His heart rate went up.
How do I use this
As one came forward with a dagger he jabbed them with the stick and closed his eyes preparing for the worst. The gunman who he had hit laughed
“You think you can defeat me with a stick, pita-”
He ever finished his sentence as he fell to the floor with a thunk.
Arcturus nervously opened his eyes and saw the person who had taken him to the General standing there he spoke
“You did well.”
“But you were the one who defeated them.”
“Actually you stunned one I punched the other.”
“General Styx is dead they shot two bullets at his heart.”
“He wasn’t the main leader he has replaced anyway.”
“By who?”
“That doesn’t matter I’ll explain why we need you on the way.”
“To where?”
“To go undercover at a terrorist outpost near Glasgow”
“Why me though?”
“Because they use children as slaves”
They went into the lift.
“Anyway if you do get in trouble I’ll be near to get you out of there.”
“Me, you need me you’d be better of hiring an onion.”
