Another short chapter because I suck, but less suspenseful than the last chapter~ Sexy time coming up again soon ahahah.


Rolo was hysteric. The security cameras had been tampered with, Lelouch was missing, and this was entirely his fault. He could get help from Suzaku, but he wanted to avoid that option. He could tell the Emperor, but then he might never see Lelouch again. He could look for Lelouch himself, but he wasn't sure where to begin.

Wait, no, he did.

He had to fix the security cameras, search for anything wrong, and save Lelouch. He could freeze the entire facility if he had to.


Monica sighed. She as usually a patient woman, but the adrenaline of kidnapping Leloch, disobeying orders, and the prospect of murdering him on top of everything at stake was getting to her.

"Why do you wear such tight shirts?" she asked, but she didn't bother to undoing the cloth gag. Her finger tugged at his shirt.

"What am I saying? I don't need to make small take with you. I should be making you suffer like you've done to so many innocent people," she reasoned. She produced a small surgical knife and a syringe. Taking the knife she cut a slit near Lelouch's heart, but the syringe she injected a very small dosage into his leg. Lelouch screamed instantly as a burning sensation overtook his senses.

"It's rattlesnake venom, but it's too little to kill you. It'll damage your tissues and it'll hurt. I'll save the rest of the venom for when I can actually kill you. For now, you'll just have to suffer." She smiled to herself removing the gag on Lelouch's mouth to hear him scream.


"Everything is fine why can't I find him…" and suddenly Rolo understood. There were only spots where he had no access to by camera…he just had to figure out which one.

He noticed a maid cleaning Lelouch's room and knew no one is allowed to enter. Rolo raced over to Lelouch's room and tackled the woman.

"WHERE IS HE?"

The shocked woman struggled to push the boy off screaming for help, but as she knew, the door to Lelouch's room closed automatically and very little sound escaped from it. Her fear was strong, but Rolo's anger was stronger.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T TELL ME WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW."

"I'D RATHER DIE."

"ARE YOU SURE? DO YOU KNOW WHAT I CAN DO? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN I CAN PUT YOU THROUGH?"

All maids in the facility were Elevens, but this woman was clearly not. Rolo recognized her from the doctor's staff and he realized this scheme to kidnap Lelouch went deeper than he originally thought.

The woman had lead a comfortable, quiet life and wasn't used to such rough treatment. She swore allegiance, but when push came to shove, she saw no reason to die or be tortured. She confessed of Monica and the conspirator's crimes and off Rolo went to find his love. The woman wanted the last laugh so she had lied to the boy only to find him charging back into the room calling her out on her lie. Her eyes widened, how could this be? Out of true fear of powers she could understand, she confessed. Rolo took hold of her roughly and in a moment's time they arrived.

She looked over the boy pulling her down the stairs he was so young, beautiful almost, and angry. He looked slightly sick as if using his magic power weakened him. Still, he continued to move the power to bring them to their destination. She finally looked away from the boy only to hear screams from another boy. Monica stood over another boy, slightly older.

"Oh my God," she mumbled. The woman had two nephews that were a few years younger than the two boys, but why was Zero so young? Why did a young man throw his life away? Was he really a terrorist…or did he know a secret she didn't?

The scene seemed to last for two more seconds. The younger boy somehow entered the cell with a singular code meaning he worked for Emperor meaning he was high up. What's going on?! Rolo threw the woman against Monica and another second later, Monica was tied up. The woman knew she was next.

"WAIT" Rolo waited, his rage wasn't quieted.

"Your friend needs medical help. Please, I didn't know what I was doing. If you let me, I'll help him. He's injected with rattle snake venom the longer we wait the more his tissues will be damaged."

Her sincerity broke through Rolo's shell. He nodded and she got to work freeing Lelouch, making a splint for his leg, and calming him down.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Monica screeched. Rolo promptly knocked her out.


review pls. I'm sort of satisfied with how this chapter turned out~ I know the writing is choppy, but I used the unnamed woman's perspective to add to the confusion and Rolo's rage.
