Brother, mine

It so late. He was so bloody tired he could fall asleep standing. But he knew a nice comfy bed and a weekend of rest waited at home. He walked through the abandoned parking structure. Why was it always so dark down here. He could barely see. He did not see the figure step out of the shadows behind him.
He did hear something. As he turned something hard connected with his head. He was one his knees spitting out blood the next moment. His head was spinning as arms grabbed him and hauled him to his feet. He could barely focus as he was shoved into a windowless van. The fuzzy spinning shadows slammed the door, with just him in the back and the van took off so fast it made him sick and he vomited onto the van floor.
Dizzily he got to his knees. He tried to open the door as the van speed down the road. It wouldn't open. Next he banged on the metal plating that separated him from the driver.
"HEY! Hey. What do you want? Money? Do you want money? Please just tell me."
Eventually he gave up and just slumped against the side of the van. His head ached and he felt ill, but as the van kept going and time passed he started to nod off.
He was awoken when the van turned off the pavement. He could hear the crunch of gravel under the tires. The van slowed to a stop and her heard the doors open and slam shut. He moved away from the door and tensed. The door was thrown open and he was momentarily blinded by the light. It send sickening spikes of pain through his skull. He had to support him self with one hand and closed his eyes. Swallowing to keep from throwing up what ever was felt in his stomach.
"Oh Jim. I am so sorry. My employees are a bit aggressive. I told you to bring him here. Not to beat him up."
"Sorry sir"
"Sir. Its about to begin"
Hands pulled him from the van and he found him self being supported by his smiling dead older brother.
"So happy you could be here" his brother said then looked into the distance.
Him followed the glance and could just make out the city before it was destroyed by hundreds of explosions.
