The Immortals issue 1 : Page 2

Oh shit was all I could think.  A small debate showed up and confused me into taking in the pill and gulped in down.  It took 10 minutes and my cold was gone. 
Next thing I knew, Jon pulls out a Colt .45 and started doing a Bad Dirty Harry impression. "I know what you're thinking, out of all of this commotion you're not sure if I fired five or six rounds.  Now consider this, this is a colt .45, the most powerful handgun in the world.  I could blow your head off right now. So you got to ask yourself one question?do I fell lucky?  Well do ya, Adam?"

I have always liked Dirty Harry.  I started to protest, "Jon, what are you?" I can still hear the gun shot ringing in my ear.  He shot me in the shoulder.

"This is one stage of the test." Jon told me.

I was cursing left and right.  A minute or so later the pain stopped and the lights started to dim.  I knew death would come to me just not this early.  I must have passed out.  I woke up on a table stripped down, really humiliated, nude.  I couldn't feel my arm.  Jon came in with two lab techs, and to my relief both male, and with a bed sheet. They told me about the pills true purpose and some other tech stuff I can't remember.  One word stuck in my head, Immortality.  After some other tests, I went about my daily business.

A month later Jon came into my bedroom with a look of dread on his face.

"What?"  I asked.

"The government doesn't like the fact of immortal offspring."  I raised an eyebrow.  "Adam, children that can't die can reproduce.  Its been estimated that in 10 years the earth will be beyond over populated due to no deaths!"  A bit shocked I wanted a house in the forest with no one around.

"Well, I'm the only one with the pill in me so it's contained right?"  He didn't answer me.  "Right!?!"
