YAY chapter 3! did you notice the reference I put in the previous chapter, it's for another series i love dearly, see if you can guess what it is! By the way am I supposed to respond to reviews? I'm really new at this and am not really sure if I am.
Disclaimer: ...Do I really have to say it again?
Chapter 3
"Come on guys you're all so slow!" shouted a gleeful Alfred as he practically ran down the sidewalk in front of the jetlagged group.
"Shut the fuck up, Awesome-me is not slow, you're just too damn fast!" retorted and irritated Gilbert as he trudged on.
"Mon ami, why is it that you never seem to run out of energy?" sighed Francis, he had been stressed out since the discussion with Chief Vargas and jet lag was not helping at all. Michelle, who was walking next to him, pitied the man, she hadn't known him for very long but she could tell there was something bothering him.
"HAHAHAHA, HEROES don't get jet lag!" proclaimed Alfred striking a heroic pose. He suddenly felt a pang; normally this would be when Arthur would start scolding him and calling him a git. He shook the thoughts out of his head. Dammit, you don't miss that grumpy old man, you can finally breathe now that he's gone, pull it together already! But Alfred knew he was lying to himself, he just didn't want to admit it. Francis sighed and pulled out a slip of paper from his pocket.
"I believe we've arrived at the location." The group looked at the building a few yards in front of them. It was old, covered in graffiti, sealed off and there were officers from the area surrounding it. From the uniforms one could tell they were LAPD. As the group approached the closed off building some officers noticed them.
"Hey! This area is off-limits to civilians!" Called out one of them. He was short and had light blond hair, from the accent they guessed he was from Finland.
"Don't worry we have clearance," responded Michelle.
"Really?" came another voice, this one was from a tall and very intimidating looking Swede. Michelle instantly cowered clinging to Francis much to his delight.
"Of Course we do!" exclaimed Alfred completely unfazed by man and instantly pulled out a clearance issued to them from Chief Vargas. "The HEROES have come!" everyone except the Finnish man and the Swede groaned. The short blond inspected the paper carefully before responding,
"Oh! So you are the specialists that we've been told about. My name is Tino Vainamoinen and my partner here is Berwald Oxenstierna. We've been assigned to help you with whatever it is you need." Francis suddenly took the shorter man's hand and seductively whispered,
"Oh I'm sure you can help me in so many-," He was cut off by Berwald who seemed to suddenly gain an even darker aura and he clutched the Finnish man possessively,
"Don't touch my wife," this caused the currently being hugged man to blush and protest,
"I told you I'm not your wife Berwald!" Everyone ignored this and backed away a few steps from the two even the ever-oblivious Alfred felt uneasy.
After a little while of struggling and scolding on Tino's part, some grunting on Berwald's, and some apologizing from Francis, the group set off into the taped off building. It was a wreck on the inside, turned over chairs and tables along with unmade beds and things scattered all over the floor. Tino began to talk,
"This was the location of the first outbreak of the drug. It was passed somehow to a small local drug gang and was then distributed to civilians through trade. We managed to trace it to the drug gang's headquarters, which is here. So far there are five people dead from the drugs including the gang leaders and dozens in comas or rehab from its effects. We've scoured the entire place but we still have no idea where the drugs came from." Alfred looked around the room seething on the inside, how could people make something that kills so many people without guilt? This is outrageous! As he walked around the room looking for any information regarding ALICE Syndicate soon he noticed that there didn't seem to be a single trace of the drugs or any useful information anywhere. While searching along the floorboards he suddenly felt a drip of water, fall on his arm. He looked up and saw nothing.
"Is there a leak in here Tino?" he asked while scanning the ceiling,
"No, I don't think there is, it isn't raining out and just about all of the pipes run through the floor not the roof. Did you feel something?" Alfred's eyes landed on a thin line running along the corner of the ceiling above where he was standing, without a word he grabbed a few chairs and stacked them upon each other on a table under the corner
"Mon dieu! Alfred what are you doing?" asked Francis while walking over to the man who was now on top of the stack of chairs and desks and pushing against the ceiling.
"I think there's something here, I felt something drip on me and it probably wasn't just a leak." With a grunt Alfred revealed an opening in the ceiling and clambered up into it.
"Hold on, we're getting a ladder," shouted Michelle as she watched Berwald and Tino rush off to find one. Gilbert peered up at the hole and yelled,
"Hey, Hamburger-fattie! What do you see up there?" Alfred didn't even notice the insult; he was too shocked by the contents that were hidden in the ceiling. In the small area there was at least 20 gallons of the drug all stored in small one-milliliter tubes labeled carefully with the name of the contents.
"Gilbert, I found more samples of the drug, and the name of it,"
"Wait, what? You mean there's a whole stash up there? What the hell is that stuff anyways?"
"It's called Wonderland, and I think Kiku and the gang are going to have to find a cure and fast if every group that has the drug has so much of it."
"Didn't the Boss say that they couldn't find many samples of it before we left though?" Giber watched Alfred who was now climbing down the procured ladder with his discovery in hand.
"Apparently we just weren't looking hard enough," in a few minutes all of the drugs had been extracted from their hiding place and were now on the floor. Everyone got the feeling that this was a group who didn't care about the well being of anyone and were instantly sickened at the thought. Michelle was being comforted by Francis who, for once, did not look the least bit perverted.
"Thanks for helping out you guys, have a safe trip back okay?" said Tino as he walked the two special units to the plane. They were carrying samples of the drugs and photos of the building along with more information about the gang that resided there. Tino had a nagging feeling. He was specifically ordered not to ask about the outsiders' identities but he couldn't help but be curious, "Who are you guys anyways…?" everyone stopped and stared at him, Berwald was also surprised by his outburst, slowly the four sort- of-Interpol agents became less tense and smiled.
"Mon ami, we're nobody to anybody,"
"But we're are too AWESOME not to be noticed by everyone!"
"We're HEROES in disguise!"
This caused the other three to gape at them, Michelle ended up giggling; she knew what they meant. Tino also ended up chuckling; this was definitely a strange bunch, and he had a hunch that he wasn't going to be able to get any kind of answer that made sense out of them. Berwald was just confused.
"Come on Berwald," piped the chuckling man, "Lets go back," He pulled the man by the arm and began to leave after waving goodbye to the group that was now getting into an airplane. He absentmindedly wondered what they would be having for dinner after walking off.
Alfred and the others made their way into the office where they found about half of the other units looking over new information gathered from the locations. Alfred scanned the room and noticed that his wasn't the only group that found more stashes of drugs. All over the tables were little vials each being carefully inspected by Im Yong Soo and Kiku. Alfred put their stash on an empty table (even though the stash was heavy Alfred was known for his superhuman strength and could carry it with ease).
"Kiku, we've got more for you," said Alfred to Kiku while pitying the man, he looked like he hadn't slept for a while.
"Ah, thank you Alfred, you may go now," said the Japanese man returning to his work. Alfred smiled; he's just like Arthur, such a work-a-holic. He returned to where many other people were standing, various pieces of information from different locations were scattered along tables, desks, the wall, and the floor, everything was being organized by Elizaveta and Eduard. There were cases of drug breakouts from everywhere, The Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia; everywhere had at least one breakout of the drug.
"Don't touch anything right now Alfred, we have to put all the information into the computer first and then you can start doing whatever with them, got it?" quipped Elizaveta without even looking up from the piles of papers. Alfred nodded and stepped back to wait with the rest of the units who were waiting. Michelle and Francis were nowhere to be seen he noted. Then he shivered. Man that player works fast slid through his thoughts. He decided to grab a cup of coffee while he waited. His day had been fairly gloomy due to the air of tension from the case, and he really needed his caffeine if he was going to be able to make it through this kind of thing everyday for the next week. At that moment his phone vibrated. It's from Arthur he noticed as he flipped the phone open.
"Hey old man! How's it going?" greeted Alfred with a grin, which got wider as he heard the Englishman sputter on the other end.
"What the hell Alfred? Do you have any manners at all?
"Ha ha ha sorry Artie, I'm just excited is all," lied Alfred
"Don't call me that you git, how many times must I tell you that, and what is it that makes you so excited?"
"We have a new case, and it's pretty interesting,"
"What makes it so interesting?"
"We have about no information at all!" he could hear the man on the other end face-palm.
"Only you would find that a good thing idiot,"
"Of course, it's a mystery that I will heroically solve!" burst out Alfred pumping his fist into the air. On the other end of the line Arthur smiled fondly. He knew Alfred was probably putting up a brave front right now.
"Well, take care of yourself, I don't want you getting hurt or anything alright?" Alfred blushed at the open honesty and affection Arthur was showing him why am I blushing? It's not like I like the old man!
"S-sure you too," Alfred cursed his stuttering and hoped Arthur wouldn't notice. He didn't.
"I have to go now Alfred, my ride is here, good-bye." And he hung up the phone. Alfred stared at his cell phone and smiled. It was amazing how Arthur could brighten his day.
Well, there you have it, My updating is going to be kind of wierd for a while now due to school so please bear with me. Oh and since the story is getting rolling now can anyone guess what Arthur is doing and who "England" is? You probably won't be able to guess the answer for a while but I'll be dropping clues for you. Whoever can get it gets a special prize that i need to figure out what it will be. ahahaha...
Anyways, Review please, any kind is wonderful even if it's just flames!
