Introduction Miniseries: North America

by TheLadyMuse

Part 5 of Abattoir. We get a slice of life with the North American branch of the Abattoir, who josh around a bit, but before that, we get an iCarly snippet that will clarify something in the actual episode. OR When the Heartbreak Heroes Tour is to be introduced via a five episode miniseries. (1/5)

1. Disappear

When Sam disappeared the day after Carly left, no one made a fuss about it. The only one who might have was Spencer Shay, and he'd woken to a short note that morning. It read

Spencer,

Thank you for everything. Carly's not here for now, iCarly is finished, and I have some unfinished business to take care of. Stay safe, I'll be back at some point, I just don't know when.

Sam

Spencer was a little upset, until he began receiving letters from Sam. Not emails, texts or phone cards. Honest to god letters in the technological age. Often not more than a few lines, they were comforting, when his home was devoid of all life but his own.

Until Carly, Freddie and Gibby asked if he'd heard from Sam. He admitted the truth about the letters, all from different parts of the country. The one that came the next day was postmarked 'RUSSIA'. Filled with dread, he read it after keying in the others for a group call.

Spencer,

By now, the others have discovered that the only contact I'm keeping is sending letters to you. Don't feel bad, I'm fine. Really. But that unfinished business I told you about? That's taking longer than I thought. Nothing illegal, but keep an eye out for the Heartbroken Heroes Exhibition (and introduction miniseries) and you'll know why I left.

You've got lives to lead, all of you, so I'll CliffNotes you. You've wondered, I'm sure, how I became who I am. I'll tell you.

I was part of Biovolt's Seattle branch as a child. We, the survivors, are making our way through life now, and we're fucked up. Like totally, completely, can't keep it together fucked up.

The Council of Ten, the only people, bar one, I'll EVER bow to, have recalled us for retraining. Their theory is, if we can't adjust, they'll give us what we need.

If you ever need me to return, all you need to do is Google 'Council of Ten, Biovolt'. It'll bring up a contact number.

Call it.

Ask for my commander, Bryan Kuznetsov (or his partner Tamsyn Ivanov).

Tell them you require Lieutenant Puckett, and that the password is 'khudozhnik'.

The reason you ask for Lieutenant Puckett instead of Sam is that I gave myself into their service, I am a lieutenant of the Abattoir.

No promises when next you'll see me, but until one rebounds, I'll keep sending notes.

Sam

P.S.

I'm tied up in the Heartbroken Heroes tour, so I can't return to Seattle until it's over, unless the worst has happened.

Confused though they were as to why the letters were sent to SPENCER, life continued on
