Saul fought though the heavey fog and struggled to open his eyes twice he thought he had managed to Only to realize he was still dreaming. Some part of his mind was reaching for consciousness but sleep kept dragging him back down. He could feel he needed to wake up he just couldn't seem to remember how to do it.
From somewhere beyond his dream heard heard voices foreign amarican accents like the one he had worked hard to develop but his mind was too tired and distracted to translate their words. Somewhere in the voices he heard Scarlette's and it gave him the extra push of adrenaline to wake up.
His eyes flew open and then shut again agenst the too bright light.
He opened them again, slowly this time and tried to get his bareings. The room was bright and looked like a child's dream club house something between a family room and a laboratory. He was tied up in a chair and across from him was Scarlett also restraned flanked by two very oddly dressed men. It took Saul a moment to remember the hero's the cliant had warned them they might encounter.
They hadn't realized he was awake yet so he took a moment to study them. The older one would be "Captain Man" and the younger had to be "Kid Danger." The cliant had said Captain man could not be hurt. Saul remembered laughing at that and declaring that all men could be hurt the cliant had admitted that everyone had a weakness he'd said the boy was Captain Mans.
Saul turned his attention to the younger one he looked sturdy enough to hold his own in a fight but he seemed quite young, younger at least then himself or even Scarlett. That was too bad Saul wasn't exactily relishing the idea of beating up a teenager he knew Scarlett wouldn't like it much either but pity wouldn't get them out of this mess so if the boy had to be hurt then he'd do it . He told himself he'd only hurt the boy as much as the kid forced him to once he found a way to get lose.

Henry regarded the girl in front of him carefuly. Ray had allowed him to take the lead qustioning her and he was excited to have the chance to prove himself. He was trying to make up his mind how to get her to talk to him. The few times he'd tried to get her talking in the last half hour hadn't gotten him anywhere.
"Tell us what you where after" he demaned for what had to be the forth time. She looked down at the floor apparently tired of this line of qustioning.
Henry sighed "come on" he said exasperated "this is getting old." He turned to Ray, his boss was chewing his lip and stairing intently at the stubbern villain.
"Do you want some milk?" he asked Henry watched dumbfounded as he walked over to the snack mahine and odered the drink. He brought it back to the evil doer.
"Here" he said trying to hand her the cup "look it's chcolate girl's like chcolate right?" The girl looked baffled and looked at Henry as though expecting him to explan the hero to her.
Realization struck him and he pulled Ray's arm "can talk to you" he didn't ask so much as pull his friend away to the other side of the room "what?" Ray asked to innocently.
" Are you seriously bad copping me right now?" Henry asked Ray bit his lip "I don't know what you mean" he lied. Henry frowned
"I mean you said I could question them, then you set me up as the bad cop so you could swoop in and be the good cop they'll talk to"
"I wouldn't do that"
"you just did"
"well you just don't know how to question the criminals"
"I would if you'd just let me do it"
"oh look at me I'm Kid Danger I don't know what I'm do-"
"give me a break"
Kid Danger and Captain Man had given up on wispering and where now openly bickering and talking over each other in front of the bewildered crimanals who glanced at each other "cliant said they might do this" the female told the male who nodded back.
Henry turned away from his boss "wait what did you say?" he asked the female she looked at her feet again "nothing" she muttered he closed the distasnce between them and dropped to his knees so he could look at her face even with her head down.
"What cliant?" he asked. She had nowhere to look now except at him "I can't tell you that" She said all pertence of arrogance was gone now. She looked at him as one human to another trying to make him understand "I can't tell you" she repeted.
Henry could almost feel the fear behind her eyes he thought through the events of the day.
Nothing had been normal about these criminals not by swellview standereds anyway. What if it hadn't been overconfedence driving them but desperation? if someone else was controlling them pulling the strings... He dug through his mind running though the list of known criminals.
It had to be someone bad enough to scare them enough to go to the hospital for him and that likely ment someone who could be cruel. The frist name that came to mind when he thought swellview and crulty was Invisable Brad.
Rays former friend who'd stalked and beaten Henry relentlessly and then tried to kill him.
To people who didn't know who or even what Brad was he might manafest as nightmare. Hurting them or threating them or their familys leaving them never able to talk freely. Always knowing he might be standing next to them any secound particlerly given how young some of these thugs where it started to make sence.
He looked into the girls eyes. She couldn't answer his questions even if she wanted to if she thought Brad was standing near them watching every word she said. Henry needed answers though like what could brad have been after so badly from junk and stuff? it wasn't like he couldn't get into the man cave or just take anything he wanted anytime it wasn't like he didn't know who henry and Ray where why would he even need lackys ?
Frushtration chewed at him she couldn't even conform his theroy if he was right.
Kid Danger looked to Ray who was now drinking the milk he'd perpared " We have a problem" he told him "I need to see you in the bathroom now" The bathroom wasn't a fort knox by any means but it was small and that ment it would be easy to feel around quickly and make sure Brad wasn't with them.
Ray looked confused "The batroom?" he asked "no thats weird" Henry rolled his eyes "yes the bathroom come on" he marched off in the direction of it. Ray shook his head and backed up a step "I'm not following in there kid" he insisted. His sidekick went back and begain pushing him "yes you are"
"No"
We're doing this"
"Stop it you'er enbarrassing me in front of the criminals"
His friend protested loudly until the door shut behind them.
A/N Sorry this ones kinda short I just wanted to get it up and not leave the story hanging to long
