ADAM'S DISCIPLES
CHAPTER 9: THE LOCKDOWN
PREVIEW
"What's happened to you?" a confused Bob asks.
Maury gives a creepy grin.
"I've discovered my full potential," Maury replies.
"What full potential?" Bob still doesn't get it.
"I can read minds. I can make people tell me things and do things for me. I can discover your darkest secrets in an instant and use them against you. I can make you see what I want you to see, make you do what I want you to do, make you think what I what you to think! I am the most powerful one of us all!" Maury exclaims.
Bob is worried.
"Listen, you're being used by Adam. He wants you to feel like you have power..."
Maury interrupts.
"I do have power! You just don't understand," Maury shouts.
"Oh I understand perfectly. Not only are you Adam's little weapon, but you've lost your mind!" Bob replies.
Maury gives the most evil look to Bob. This frightens him.
"What do you fear the most?" Maury asks evilly.
Bob is even more worried. His hand is near an unknown needle.
"What's hiding in your closet?" Maury says with confidence.
"You won't get away with this," Bob threatens.
"Really? If I'm 'Adam's weapon', I'm sure he'll let me hurt you," Maury replies.
Bob grabs the needle, dives toward Maury, and injects it into his neck. It's a sedative of some kind, knocking Maury out. Bob gets up and adjusts his suit.
"Sweet dreams, Maury" Bob angrily says.
Maury wakes up in an unfamiliar place. He appears to be in Alaska, up on the mountains.
"Where am I?" Maury asks.
Back to Charles's room. Charles is laying there, his eyes are red. Kaito is watching.
"Are you sure this is the only way," Charles asks.
"Trust me, this will work," Kaito answers.
Maury is confused. Suddenly, he hears a voice.
"Who is that!" Maury shouts.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," the voice replies.
Maury gets angrier. He recognizes the voice.
"Charles? How are you doing this?" Maury angrily asks.
"I can manipulate dreams, remember?" Charles reminds him.
A look of fear fills Maury's eyes.
"You have caused so much pain to others. Today, I'm going to show you what pain truly is," Charles taunts.
Maury is frightened.
"You're in my territory now, so don't even try to use telepathy," Charles taunts.
"Please, I'll do whatever you want, okay? Just, don't do this," Maury begs.
Back to Charles and Kaito. Bob enters the room.
"He's asleep," Bob informs.
"I know, Charles is working on him now," Kaito informs.
"He's practically begging for his life, and I haven't even done anything yet," Charles tells them.
Kaito and Bob give a satisfied look to each other.
Back to Maury's dream.
"Why are you doing this, Charles?" Maury asks.
There is a short pause.
"This is the beginning of the end," Charles replies.
(Chapter Nine: The Lockdown will take place 9 months after the events of the previous chapter. Charles, Kaito, and Bob will team up against Maury.
