The Gadget Infinity (A Gunslinger Bink Prequel)


Chapter 7: Better off Left Alone.

Fernando walks out of his room fully dressed in a suit and carrying a laptop under his arm. Walking to the living room, he finds Jeanette and Gadget on the sofa trying to talk things out. They both turn to face him when they realize that he was there. They both follow him with their eyes as he walks over to the kitchen and pulls out a bottle of cognac from a hidden doorway in the service island, with a tumbler glass. He fills the stout glass near the rim, and then takes it to his lips where half of it was gone in under a second. It gets placed on the table area of the service island.

"Didn't I told you to get out?", Fernando asks.

"I'm out.", Gadget says.

"Out, as in out of my house.", he tells her.

"You have her quarantined in here, and the place armed for her not to leave.", Jeanette tells him.

"Alright then. Computer, Subject Gadget is released from the confines of this place.", Fernando says.

After a couple of seconds, a voice answers, "Subject Gadget is now released from all security protocols. She can exit the premises at any time."

Fernando opens his laptop and types on it. A silver-blue CD-like disk comes out from the side of the laptop. He takes it and flicks it at Gadget, where is lands softly on her lap. "That's your copy of the security tapes of the house, showing you trying to tempt me and seduce me all this time for reasons I now don't care for. Cry rape, and I will make sure Chip, Dale, Monty, Zipper and the arresting police officers gets a copy of it and have one playing on the Café's video monitors for all to see. ", he tells her.

"You would not dare.", Gadget almost challenges him.

"Tempt a hungry dog and you will get bit. Corner a wounded animal and you will be attacked. Think about it Gadget. You mocked and dare say things my wife that are not true. No one does not do that. Not you, not anyone. Now get yourself and your sticking shit out of my house before I forget that I am a gentleman.", he tells her, the dark lenses of his glasses seem to glow from within. He begins to type on his laptop's keyboard.

"Alright. Let me get dressed first.", Gadget tells him.

"Not fast enough. Now consider yourself cured.", Fernando says before pressing the final key on his keyboard.

Gadget and her property vanish in bright flash of light. Jeanette looks at him for a second in awe.

"Where did you sent her?", Jeanette asks in near panic.

"If you think I sent her to that T-Rex nest, then no. She's in her bedroom in her house.", Fernando sternly tells her.

"How can I be sure of that?", Jeanette asks.

"Go check the Chrono Server logs if you like.", Fernando tells her.

"Logs can be modified.", Jeanette challenges.

"You were sworn to never tell anyone about Cathy, and yet you did. You complain that I keep pushing our shared trust to the breaking point, you just broke it with me. Now get your stuff and leave my house before I zap you into that T-Rex's nest and find yourself alone there.", he tells her in a very cold and searing tone.

"Alright. Give me some time.", Jeanette says.

"You got 10 minutes.", he warns her.

"But that may not be enough time!", Jeanette tells him.

With a single keystroke of his laptop, a bright flash of light surrounds Jeanette in the living room and her belongings in the guest room she was in. She finds herself in her room in the Café 's hotel. She quickly realizes what he had done as she looks about her room and then at her watch and the clock on the nigh stand by her bed. The time seems to match on both of them.

"I swear!", Jeanette yells to herself.
