The contest is called Project Gener8! I love making stories and I love the phone so I said to myself, why not try making and sending one! Right on! So here I just want to share the story I did today! Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pier Roxas lost 8 days of his memory.
Pier was a spy for an underground agency for years now, and is doing a very good job. Definitely an asset. He embarked on a mission, his biggest to date, spying on a Energy business leader based in Manila and eventually to assassinate him.
After slumbering at his agency’s office somewhere in downtown Manila he headed out just like a normal day, but then he received a call from his Boss, giving him information and order to assasinate an Energy business leader. Day 1 started. First thing in the morning he'll drive to Subic and on the 8th day he will kill the Leader.
He immediately gathered logistics as he started his 2nd day of prep, in Subic. His GPS looked good, though it was not his first time there, apart from being tracked by his Headquarters, he needs to know the place very well.
Day 3 marked Pier’s movement. He disguised as an executive for an up-start energy conservation business. He got a quick acquaintance with the Church leader, in the Hotel lobby where the 5-day Sustainable Energy Congress will take place. He marked the leader 'seen' on his Nokia N8 and sent it to the Headquarters and went on to claim his hotel room card.
Pier didn’t waste any moment of his precious time, apart from assassinating the leader he needs to acquire a 'vital' information. Without the government’s knowledge, according to the Headquarter's intelligence report, Manila houses an Organization of underground intelligence on fossil oil reserve export and hoarding, a very, very, profitable venture. The Organization is trying to assume control of this venture and the Church leader is a vital part of this. At the 5th day of the Congress, every seated member of the Congress will vote for a 'upper hand organization' to steer the Energy business up to a so-called 'sustainable energy' for the future, but the Leader will oppose this, since they'll lose control of the business to the Subic counterpart. Subic spearheaded the sustainable energy efforts.
Pier managed to set a business meeting with the leader on the 4th day to get up-close. While conversing with the Leader, he got confused with his advocacies because it doesn't match the profile sent by his Headquarters, but he thought it was just a front. A close encounter is what he needs with the Leader, so he can copy the fingerprint, specifically the thumb mark, of the Leader. Thumb marks of the Energy leaders (members of the Congress) will signify their vote.
Pier had to get the thumb print, send it to the Headquarters for replication and vote for the Subic policy himself then kill the Leader as soon as possible.
He got the thumb print through his secretly installed sensor at the front cover of the binder he handed to the Leader to show his fake proposals for energy conservation.
On the 5th day, he changed his disguise as a tourist to further observe, then he unwind in a cheap bar in downtown Subic later that night.
At the bar, he met Georgina, a tourist, a gorgeous young lady, in floral pink, looking for a good time. They did have a good time.
The sixth day came with a bang, Pier woke up in a motel, sober but with a nagging headache, and found that Georgina had already left. It was already 12 noon and he hurriedly went to his hotel, took a bath and went to the site of the conference for a little familiarization. All the members and delegates are housed in the same hotel. The Leader addressed a speech about the Philippine's future and its Energy conservation participation towards sustainability.
That night he went back to the cheap bar to see if Georgina is around, but to no avail.
On the seventh day, Pier checked-out of the hotel and booked in a nearby hotel, then changed his disguise into a hotel boy and rounded the hotel, where the congress takes place, discretely.
He was all set.
The policy signing can happen anytime from now until 6PM of the 5th day of the Congress (Pier's 8th day). The tablets, where the Leaders will vote, have already been distributed and sent to their respective rooms. The Leaders can decide until 6PM of the next day, if he/ she agrees to the policy. Then at 7PM, the agreement's fate will be announced. It must be unanimous and it is clear that the Leader is a thorn to he treaty according to the intelligence report.
The replicated thumb mark was received by Pier in the afternoon.
8th day, Pier entered the Leader's room using his duplicated electronic key moments after the Leader had left. He looked for the package, took and opened it, but was startled by a figure standing in his peripheral view.
Georgina is standing by the door and said, "They are only using you, Pier. Save him.”
Pier smiled and said, “This is my job.”
“They will get rid of you after this.“she added.
Then the window slided open. Georgina is in an angle wherein no one can see her except Pier. Pier was puzzled because his Boss showed up and said, “Hand me the tablet.”
Georgina went for the tablet. Pier's Boss knocked out Georgina with a jolting device then picked up the tablet and immediately imprinted a thumb mark. The tablet's screen showed the words 'thank you' and immediately went off. Pier tried to ask his Boss about what's happening but his Boss stopped him and asked, "Do I have to take care of job?"
Pier responded, "I'll finish it." But at the back of his mind, he's got hesitations.
The Boss then replied, "Then clean this mess (looking at the woman lying on the floor) and kill." He then left.
Pier picked up Georgina and looked at her face and thought to himself, 'What the fuck am I going to do?'
Immediately, he lied Georgina on the bed and went to the hall where the Congress takes place.
On his way to the hall, he found his Boss targeting the Leader with a silenced revolver. He intercepted him, leaving them in a fist fight, since the revolver was thrown a few meters away. Pier received a good punch on his face, leaving a deep bruise. His Boss hissed, "I knew you weren't able to do it. The system is not perfect. The system is fucked up. You piece of trash."
The Boss then tried to reach for the gun but Georgina came into he scene and kicked the gun to Pier. It ended in a dramatic gun-fire, killing the Boss.
They immediately went to the hall and informed the Leader what happened.
Then they went off to the parking lot of the hotel and found out that his car was missing. They went to Georgina's auto. Pier took the wheel, paid the parking ticket, slid it in the front pocket of his shirt and fled the hotel and drove to Metro Manila. Georgina explained her part in the operation. The Boss was a renegade commander of the underground spy agency. He's been employed by one of the Business leaders of the Manila energy counterpart. Manila wants to maintain control of the energy business and the vote and death of the energy Leader, Pier was supposed to kill, is the key to the maintenance of their power.
At the stoplight, Pier received an SMS, he read it, is says: ‘8RENEG’.
Pier immediately had a seizure and and slept. Georgina picked up the phone and saw the SMS. She somewhat understood what happened. The phone rebooted, cleaning all the traces of Pier's whereabouts during his 8-day mission. Media files, locations, phonebook contacts and logs, etc. are all removed. Quickly, she removed him from the driver's seat, accidentally dropping Pier's wallet on the car's floor, and drove off.
Georgina was left with no choice. She stopped in a pier along Roxas Boulevard, and thought long and hard. Pier is still in a deep sleep. She kissed Pier on the neck but it landed on his collar leaving a lipistick mark before dropping him off on the street. She left him there on broad daylight with his phone and drove away, fast.
Pier woke up with a painful bruise on his face, he can’t remember what happened, and all he could recall is he was in a bar, partying with friends. He searched for clues, he lost his wallet, got a lipstick smudge on his collar, a parking ticket dated yesterday, an electronic key of a hotel, and his cellphone with a Smart Gold SIM. “Was I mugged after hooking up?” he asked himself.
Pier Roxas lost 8 days of his memory.
He went home, and though he wants to alleviate the worries of his family he can’t, because he couldn’t remember anything.
Later that day, he went to a clinic to have himself checked for the bruise on his face and the unusual lapse in his memory. But then he received a text from an unknown number.
It says, ‘GENER8’.
In an instant, he remembered everything, even the gorgeous woman who is standing across the hall, of the clinic, smiling.
The woman walked towards him and purred, "I think this belongs to you (showing to him his wallet)."
End.
