The Unlikely Villan

Prompt

"Open up" shouted a voice followed by a loud bang on the door. I froze and felt a cold run down my spine. Had they come for me already. I looked back at the TV the world was normal my virus had failed.

I looked worriedly at the door and moved to open it. There was no escaping it they had come to arrest me. I opened instead of police men or the army I found a guy with a suitcase wearing black suit. “I am going to ask you to accompany me sir" he spoke in a crisp professional manner. "Is he an Agent?" I thought to myself but reluctantly followed him into the waiting black limo. "Do they take prisoners in Limos?".

The limo was fully decked with all luxuries and facilities now I knew something was off. The ST21 virus was designed by me to start killing the human population to 0.1% of its current amount. It had to be highly contagious, I had cleverly guised the virus as a cure for cancer but by now the world scientist must already have seen past that. The Limo came to halt. The black suit man opened the door and lead me through the underground parking. An elevator took us into a private suite. Waiting for us on a round table were a group of esteemed scientist and political leaders. "Congratulations" "Well Done" "Good Job" "WoW" were the shouts that echoed through the room.

Not the response I expected. Were they being sarcastic, were they being condescending, were they mocking me. My anger was rising, they had obviously seen my viruses true intention so why were they patronizing me. The look of the scientist staring at me, smiling, congratulating esteemed people from across the globe laughing at me. I broke down. “Yes I designed that virus for a genocide, to kill all of you. I wanted everyone on this planet dead. I wanted to restart the human population. It is the only way to save this planet can't you see?” A flood of emotions took over me and I fell on my knees expecting someone to come and handcuff me or shoot me. Instead the council looked back at me their facial expression completely changed they went from happy to WTF. A file fell before me “ST21 Control Case study; Result : Cures Cancer”.
