Carlos burst through the door of the lab, it banged violently against the wall and making Dimitri jump.

"Where is he?" Carlos roared.

"I-I don't know." Dimitri stuttered in response. The Hispanic scientist closet the distance between them in three large steps and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, twisting it in his fist and lifting until his toes were just barely brushing the ground.

"Do not try my patience." He growled harshly. Dimitri's face began to turn red and he clawed at the hand holding him up.

"Please…" He gasped out.

"Please? PLEASE? No, you don't get the privilege of begging after what you've done to me and my boyfriend. Now WHERE IS HE?" Dimitri's face was turning blue, and he appeared to be on the verge of passing out. Carlos shook him violently. "WHERE IS HE YOU BASTARD?"

"The…. The…" After that he mumbled something indistinct and his head lolled backwards. He had stopped breathing. Carlos dropped him in disgust, not paying attention to the sickeningly wet thud his skull made as it made contact with the tile floor. He looked around and growled. The rest of the lab looked empty and was all quiet. He turned and left, slamming the door behind him.

Cecil groggily opened his third eye and looked around. Where was he? His other eyes opened and he remembered what had happened. He heard a door slam and sat straight up. What the hell was that? He listened for a minute and when he heard nothing else he stood up and went to the door. He tried to open it and when it didn't budge his eyes started to water.

"But… but…. if I can't get out how will I see Carlos?" He half whimpered half asked the dark closet, almost expecting The Void to answer him. He hit his head against the door, just barley avoiding his third eye, and feebly clawed at the barrier. "I need to see him again. I need him."

Carlos stormed out of the lab and looked around. He saw someone walking toward the lab from the parking lot and growled as he recognized them. Pepper. He walked up to her and just as she was starting to smile and greet him Carlos grabbed her upper arms and squeezed. She gasped and her eyes widened.

"Carlos?"

"Where is he?" He growled out. Pepper realized what danger she had put herself in and immediately answered.

"I don't know, Dimitri didn't tell me."

"Well Dimitri isn't breathing any more so I can't ask him." Carlos growled out. Pepper gasped and winced as Carlos threw her aside. She held no use for him anymore. Suddenly he had an idea, Dimitri could have hidden him at his apartment. Carlos knew where it was, when someone new moves to Nightvale you know everything about them in less than 24 hours. He got in his car and peeled out of the parking lot like a madman, leaving skid marks and a scent of burnt rubber in his wake.

Pepper sat up and pulled out her phone, dialing the secret police number with shaking hands and waiting for the tentacle lobster to pick up.

"Hello?"

"Carlos has become a danger to the Council." Pepper lied easily, her voice shaking. They would never act just on what he had done, but if they even thought he was a danger to the Council they would take him out without question.

Cecil found a small battery powered radio in the supply closet next to the drain cleaner and quickly turned it to the secret police channel, hoping to somehow get a message to them about where he was. When he finally got to the channel he was horrified.

"We have Carlos cornered, The Void has been notified and has begun descending."

"No…" Cecil whispered, tears starting to pool in his eyes. He waited for a second before hearing the rest of the report.

"He has been taken in by The Void, the council is safe." A relieved sounding secret police officer said.

"NO!" Cecil screamed. The tears spilled over in a cascade, not starting slowly as most tears do. He began sobbing, tearing at his hair and rocking as ugly sobs wracked his body. "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NOT HIM NOT HIM TAKE ME BUT GIVE HIM BACK!" He screamed through his sobs. He grabbed the radio and threw it across the room and again noticed the drain cleaner. He grabbed it and pulled it close to him. It took him a second to open it because his palms were slick with tears but once he did he simply stared down the neck into the bottle at the green, sloshing liquid.

"I'll be with you soon." He whispered.
