" Abe… Abe….. Are you okay?" All I could hear was the sound of my name along with a horrible ringing headache. I groaned as I opened my eyes every thing was a blur and a red silhouette which formed into Red standing over me with an out stretched hand, helping me up it took me a minute to process that we were in some sort of jail cell. There were bars like a jail cell and I looked to see what looked like some sort of elaborate and vast lab with armed guards and…..strange gorillas standing guard?
" Where are we?" I asked as I rubbed my temples Red just shrugged his shoulders and leaned against the wall.
" Beats the hell out of me, the kids and I were sittin' down to dinner when the militia of gorillas and men with guns came, I do not even know if Liz and the kids are okay.'' Red trailed off rubbing the back of his head with a look of intense worry on his face. I took off my gloves and read the air, read the place, read the people, as a flood of information filled my head.
" Red, we are in a place called the Zinco corporation, they kidnapped you because of a Doctor Herman VonKlempt, who believes that your time to bring the destruction of the world has come nigh….And these gorillas are ' war apes.' ha!" For some reason I found the fact amusing, but why would he need war apes?
" So they kidnapped me because they think I will end the world? Do they want to stop it or do they want to make it happen?" Red stood straight up and punched the bars with his stone hand and a current of electricity went along with it and knocked Red back. He stood up and swore at himself.
" They want to make it happen, Red…. They want to finish what was started in World war II with project Ragna Rok." Red rubbed his chin, shaking his head and laughing to himself.
" Then why did they kidnap YOU, Blue?"
" Cause I would know who they were, and where they could find you.'' I stated simply. I looked around I heard the intercoms announcing arbitrary orders, commands, war apes and what I suppose were scientist just going about their business. Other armed guards walking around patrolling, others glancing at Red and I. Suddenly the intercom was cut off and music starting playing, everyone's heads jolted towards the intercom looking confused, obviously THIS was not suppose to be happening.
" If I had….. If I had more… more would be laid at your feet….." the intercom sang. The armed guards were talking on their walkie talkies, then they all started to run around, everyone was in a panic. Red and I just stood there staring.
" If you give me…..just a little smile…the dogs on my trail wouldn't lead me back to jail." Suddenly everyone was running around and alarms were going off but the music could be heard over all of them. I raised my hand up in the air to see what was going on.
" I woke up in a horses stomach one foggy morning, his eyes were crazy as he smashed into the cemetery gates…." The song continued to sing.
" What is it Blue?" Red whispered.
" Something is coming this way, coming very fast, and they cant stop it.'' Was all I could read.
" All I want is to be a happy man, All I want is to be a happy man…'' Every thing was chaos, people running every which way as if what ever it was that was coming was unstoppable.
" I've seen teeth. Across the horizon, fangs spanning yellow against the earth…" Then the song cut off into a strange melody that I could only liken to as a combination of carousel music and the static of a radio.
" What is it that is coming?" Red asked
" A 1947 Chevy fleet line? We better get to the ground, now!" I said just then the music gained back up in volume and bursting though the holding sector we were in was a maroon 1947 Chevy fleet line, that spun circles and was shooting bullets like a machine gun. The music still playing, what in the world is going on? I stuck my head up and the car parked itself after shooting up the entire sector. Red and I got to our feet and the doors of the fleet line opened out came a woman, a short, robust woman with snow white hair, and what looked like diamonds lining around the side of her forehead and corners of her eyes, they looked like they grew out of her, and she had one red eye, and one white eye. She was driving the car, she wore a leopard print short sleeved knee length dress, and red high heeled shoes, she also looked like she had diamond patterns growing out of her legs and right arm, similar to the pattern Red has on his right arm. The other person who was the passenger was tall and lanky, and had the same exact eye and hair color, and what looked like gems growing out of his skin. He was dressed in a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, pin striped pants, and a tie, and suspenders, the third companion literally phased through the roof of the car, and walked down the hood and jumped off. He or she was in snow white make up, exaggerated eye lashed, black diamonds growing from their face, and heavy colorful eye make up, and blue lip stick. I think it was a man. He was wearing a pink and black checkered print blazer with a black skirt, fish net stockings, and black combat boots. His hair was snow white and his eyes were red and white too.
" What the hell is going on here!" Red exclaimed as the three occupants of the car started walking towards us with the girl in the lead. Her eyes locked with mine, and my heart literally stopped, she cocked her head to the side and looked at me curiously and gave a half smile. I have to admit I was scared, she looked like she was not afraid of anything, she looked like she could kill you with just a flippant motion of her hand, she looked elegant, she looked dangerous, she looked beautiful.
" Who are they Blue?" Red whispered as they got closer, I shakily lifted up my hand and gasped.
" I….. I….don't know. I cant read them." I said shocked which made me more scared because that is the only thing I knew was having the control of the situation by knowing every aspect of it. And whoever these people were took that away from me. Which had me somewhat terrified but also intrigued, the girl was three feet away from the cage and with the shift of her eyes looked at Red and I. Suddenly a plethora of armed guards were behind her telling her to put her hands up.
" Well little piggies…. I guess I better do what they say.'' She smiled wickedly. Her voice was something that is hard to describe it was slightly monotone and deep but feminine. And she slowly raised up her hands and her fingers moved into the shape of what Reds children would call a ' finger gun.' And she threw down her arms fast and every thing exploded around her.
" Sadu now!" she said in a voice that almost demonic. Suddenly I found the man with the white make up and blue lipstick in our cage, he smiled manically and grabbed mine and Red's arm and we suddenly found ourselves in the back seat of the Chevy fleet line my heart felt like it was beating in my head, this was all so much to process. I looked over to my left and the man was sitting in between Red and I, I jumped startled. He was a smallish man not nearly as tall as the other man, I would guess he was maybe 5'6-5'7.
" Hi." He said simply with an amused smile- his voice was effeminate and sounded like it could be southern or British. I looked out the front window of the car and saw the girl was calmly walking back towards it with the other male and they got in the car. The woman turned the key and the other man spoke.
" How should I destroy the place? Flood, freeze, or boil?" He had a thick german accent he was young like she was maybe mid 20s- they all looked like they were in their 20s and they were all psychically attractive but clearly not human. Liked they possessed the bodies of humans that did not belong to them.
" Freeze, turn this place into a solid giant ice block.'' The girl said and laughed at her own amusement.
" Gladly.'' He said with a smile as she drove away. He stuck his arm out of the car and the nimble movement of his fingers a giant solid wall of probably the most thickest ice you could imagine started to grow behind us, and followed us as we sped away and were out of the building down a dark road.
