Chapter 14
It was quiet.
Much too quiet for Agent 6's liking. Noah's front door wasn't even locked and considering the poor area he lived in, this was surprising. As silent as a dark shadow, Agent 6 entered Noah's home. With one quick movement he slipped off his sunglasses, his eye perfectly adjusted to the dark. Slowly agent 6 explores Noah's home. A pile of bills on the table in the kitchen caught his eye. Well , the past due notice would explain no power. A check of the pantry and fridge revealed that other than some dry cereal there was no food. Was Noah really living here?
Clink…
6 focused on the sound instantly, it was small but from upstairs. Crouching low, 6 made his way silently up the stairs. At the top he could see a flicker of orange light from under the door at the end of the hall. A shadow passed the door.
Closer 6 crept, awaiting any sign of danger. He stopped just short of the door knob. His sensitively trained ears picked up a very distinctive sound.
Someone in that room…was sobbing.
(Scene change)
"Look at all that water." Emily exclaimed, surveying the land before them. They had been here before right? Ugh, her head hurt.
"Thirsty Em?" Rex asked, approaching the blue lake.
"Is it safe to drink?" She asked.
"Well duh!" Rex reached his hand down but hesitated. Was it safe? Why did something feel wrong? He glanced at Emily, she appeared…nervous? Afraid? He couldn't tell. "Look," he laughed a bit to calm himself and her down. "I'll test it first, if it's bad or something my nanites will protect me. Okay?" Emily nodded her agreement. Rex looked at her again, she seemed pale.
Rex dipped a single hand in, brining just a few drops of the clear liquid up to his lips. He licked them up with his tongue and allowed the drops to sit in his mouth a moment.
"Em! You have to try this! It's fantastic." Rex nearly shouted as he took a huge gulp. It was so sweet and pure tasting. Not like water but like honey and almonds. It was filling and giving him a warm fuzzy feeling in his belly. By his second gulp, Emily had joined him, her small hands making a cup, she brought the water to her lips as Rex watched expectantly.
Her eyes widened as she swallowed the substance. "Oh wow!"
"Told you." Rex playful gave Emily a gentle push, before going back to drinking. After a few more drinks, Rex and Emily went to sit under one of the large trees. The warmth in their bellies began to spread to their limbs. Emily yawned and leaned into Rex. He placed an arm around her, drawing her close.
"You think it will rain?" Emily asked, head beginning to droop. Her eye lids feeling so heavy.
"I don't think it does rain here." Rex reassured….but that didn't make any sense. Where was here? As he pondered this something unexpected happened in the castle...
Circe collapsed from exhaustion.
The song stopped….
Rex's eyes went wide with realization.
They were in Abysus!
(Scene change)
Whoever was in there sobbing, more than likely was no threat, but ever vigilante 6 left his katana out as he pushed the door open. The room had a moving shadow quality brought on by a single candle on the bed side table. 6's eyes did a quick scan. He located the blond teen curled into a ball in the corner. He was hiccupping, a bottle of rum empty near his hand.
"Noah?" 6 questioned, he barley recognized the teen.
A single hiccup, then the teen raised his gaze.
"Kill me 6."
6 was taken aback, obviously Noah was not in his right mind at all. The teen began to mumble. "Fault, all my fault." Followed by more sobbing.
"Noah I need you to concentrate here. I have some questions." 6 demanded. This was getting very uncomfortable for the agent.
"Nothing…hiccup…to answer. Kill me…hiccup…I did it. I should die…no…no…too good...hiccup…torture would be better…"
6 couldn't believe was he was hearing. "You knew what would happen? Was you gift was? Did?"
Noah shook his head no, sobbing, tears and snot running down his face. "N-no…but he made me, he …Van…Kleiss…made me do it…God, Please…hiccup, don't tell me he hurt them…he said he would bring her back…if…if…hiccup…I helped."
"Bring who back?"
"M-my…M-mom!"
6 couldn't believe what he was hearing, was there no low Van Kleiss would not sink too. Taking a kid's mom. Blackmailing him with the threat of her death. "Why didn't you tell us?"
"C-couldn't…hiccup…listening, always seeing and listening…this." Noah pulled at the necklace bound to his neck.
Agent 6 saw what it was, in an instant, he has seen many mini cameras and sound recorders in his time. With a flick of his wrist, the necklace was cut from Noah.
Noah felt his neck for a moment before he began screaming. "No! No…he'll…hiccup…Kill her now! No..no…no…" he began to whine.
"Dr Holiday. I need a pick up for Noah at his house. He should not be alone."
"Find out anything 6?" Dr. Holiday asked over the comm. link. Her voice slightly desperate.
"Noah was in on it, blackmailed." 6 added that part quickly to offset the anger he knew Holiday would have. "He's drunk…beg me to kill him."
"I see." Dr. Holiday spoke softly. 6 knew a thousand different thoughts and emotions were trying to be processed all at once in her mind.
"So pick up ETA?" 6 prompted.
"For…Noah." A bit of a sting in her voice there, but 6 ignored it, it wasn't meant for him. "Fifteen minutes…What about you?"
6 huffed.
"I have a castle to visit, 6 out." With that he left the sobbing teen; he would be safe with Providence. Agent 6 had a jet to "borrow".
(Scene change)
Abysus!
They were in Abysus!
"How the heck did this happen?" Rex pondered. "Emily we're in Abysus!" but the weight of his words were lost on her. Emily was in a deep slumber.
"Shit. Come on Emily…wake up." Rex went to shake her shoulder only to find he could barely move his arms and his legs wouldn't response at all. Fear, flashed through Rex, he tried to create his smash hands. Nothing…it was the same with his jump feet. He looked around…what could have…the water! Rex focused, how could they have been so dumb? It was drugged, it had to be and now he was immobile in the worst place. God they were right out in the open too! 6 would lecture him for that blunder. Rex shook his head…Agent 6 and Dr. Holiday. He might never see them again. He looked at Emily as his neck became hard to move. Van Kleiss would kill her for sure. He would be responsible for her death.
Rex's head began to nod forward as he desperately tried to stay awake. Hs mind became fuzzy. His nanites were good at removing toxins from his blood but he had drunken too much. Rex could no longer move his arms at all and just as the darkness was taking him, he heard a voice.
"Hello Rex."
Then darkness.
