Chapter 10
"Hey doc, have you seen Will?" Henry asked when he saw Magnus walking down the corridor.
"I haven't. I-I was about to talk to him." Magnus said shyly.
"Oh okay? I was about to give him my report on the list of the new intakes for the month." Henry said shrugging the reaction on Magnus's face.
"He's out." The big guy said, he was carrying a box field with papers.
"He left?" Magnus said worriedly. "Has any of you talk to him?"
"No." Henry and the Big Guy answered chorally.
Magnus didn't answer, she just walk straight ahead. Henry and the Big Guy looked at each other they knew something has come up they instinctively put what they were holding down and followed Magnus, who angrily came bursting out the door of Tesla.
"Where is he?" Magnus asked. Tesla was lying on his bed, one arm on his head another arm on his stomach hands carrying a bottle of wine and a foot dangling on the side bed, he was thinking deeply.
"Who?" Tesla replied.
"Will, where is he? I'm sure you have talked to him." Magnus said pissed.
"I don't know, he left to take away his problems." Tesla replied he is now sitting on the floor he put the bottle of wine but it was empty, he turned the bottle upside down and shake it to check at its contents, when there was no wine that came out he annoyingly put the bottle on the bed side table.
"You knew he was living and you didn't even bother to stop him." Magnus said angry as hell.
"He's a grown man. He can take care of himself." He said annoyed.
"Dude" Henry said and there was a growl from the Big Guy.
"It didn't even cross your mind that a serial murderer is after him." Magnus said really pissed.
"Oh, stop over reacting. I'm pretty sure Will is in a pub drunk, calling his girlfriend." Tesla replied.
Magnus just shook her head her phone rang, it's Will calling.
"Hello Will." Magnus said her voice sounds worried.
"Magnus, how'd you been?" It's Lieserl in the other end of the line.
"What have you done with Will?" Magnus asked seriously. Tesla's suddenly looked worried so as Henry and Big Guy.
"Oh nothing, your little boy is sound asleep, he's really drunk." Lieserl said. Will can be seen sleeping with one hand handcuffed in a bed.
"What do you want?" Magnus asked.
"Oh you know who I always wanted Magnus. Give the phone to him." Lieserl said walking to and fro in a small room.
Magnus handed the phone to Tesla. Tesla accepted the phone hesitatingly.
"How'd you been Nikola?" She asked.
"Fine," Tesla replied. "Why are you doing this?" He said worriedly.
"Revenge, you see if I can't have you no one can." There is bitterness in the voice of Lieserl. "Specially, your beloved Helen."
"Stop this foolishness, free Will." Tesla replied.
"I don't really get it, I loved you more than you ever loved Helen Magnus but you still can't love me." Lieserl said. "I tried to be as beautiful as her, didn't you find me attractive when we met a while ago." Lieserl said posing on a full length mirror in the room.
Tesla smirked. "Very attractive, do you want to see me?"
Lieserl's face beamed. "Of course I do, where?" She sounded giddy.
"At Alfredo's, I'll reserve a room for just the two of us." Tesla said he catches a glimpse of Magnus who was standing angrily arms crossed."I'll be there then, around 8 tonight?"
"I'll be there waiting." Lieserl said then she turned off Will's phone. Then she jumped and she screamed like a high school girl.
Tesla gave the phone back to Magnus who accepted it with dagger eyes.
"They said be friends with the enemy not go on a date with the enemy." Henry said.
"I have a plan, you idiot." Tesla replied to Henry.
"What's this wonderful plan then?" The Big Guy said.
"He'll be the diversion while we save Will, am I right Nikola?" Magnus butted in.
"You got that right. Now if you excuse me, I have to look for clothes for tonight." Nikola said. He said standing and pushing Magnus, Henry and Big Guy out the door.
While Henry and Big Guy left, Magnus stood on the door, arms crossed and pissed.
"Please, don't be jealous, I'm doing this to save our child." Tesla replied.
Magnus went inside the room and opened Tesla's closet then she pulled out a black tuxedo with matching bow tie.
"Here wear this, I'll be calling in for the reservations." Magnus said, she was about to leave when Tesla pulled her hand and she came swirling at him.
"What are you doing?" Magnus asked seriously.
"Nothing, just remembering the time I danced you on that party." Tesla replied, he was swaying, Magnus found herself swaying to.
Magnus smirked. "Of course you remembered that's the night I made love to you." She said pushing Tesla away.
Tesla smirked. "Thank you for the tuxedo, nice choice."
"I'll be setting up your date then, back room?" Magnus asked.
"Back room" Tesla smiled.
Magnus left the room. Tesla closed the door then he went near an old gramophone in the room. He brought it there, then he put an old record on it and started taking off his clothes to take a shower.
