Pain
Darien looked down at his tattoo as the 4 segments turned into 3 why would anyone do this? He didn't want to become that monster, becoming him would take him on that path that lead to the padded room. He was sure that Claire knew that, too.
He hated it there the silence, the torture, not being able to move, being confronted with the monster in his brain he hated him and even more than that he hated the fact that he was there calling because of Arnaud. He couldn't go back there he wouldn't go back there. Not now not when they were so close to justice for Kevin. Please don't take me there! He cried in his mind.
As even now the voices were calling out to him they wanted out, but he had to get Arnaud he couldn't let them out not now.
Darien looked at Hobbes;
"Hey Buddy, Where we goin'?'
"The last place anyone would think to look."
Darien paused at that with a look of bewilderment what did Hobbes mean by that?
Claire looked at Darien "his holiday house."
Oh! So...what? You think he's there?
"No, I didn't say that, we're going there looking for clues son 'CLUES'."
As they pulled up in front of the house memories of his last time here flashed in Darien's mind it had almost killed him.
He hated being here, he hated the torture Arnaud put him through torture of knowing that his need for the counteragent was because of Arnaud. Even more than that, he just HATED Arnaud so deeply he wanted to feel his hands around his neck squeezing the life from him, feeling his last breath flow out from his body beneath his hands just like Arnaud took the last breath from Kevin.
He and Kevin were never very close but he never got the chance to find out if they could have been close. He loved his brother and Arnaud took him away and he was going to pay for that!!!
Claire looked at Darien's tattoo with a look of discouragement he would begin screaming soon. What could they do? There was only one thing she could think of.
She took a syringe from her pocket and turned to Darien.
"Darien I'm sorry I have to do this but... she trailed off as she inserted the syringe into the back of Darien's neck he screamed OW!! Wha... What are you doing?"
She was so sorry but she had to if he was kept awake the monster would inevitably come out.
Darien fought the feeling of drowsiness suddenly overpowering him. He knew that unconsciousness was the only thing that would protect him and his friends from the monster.
He looked into Claire's eyes pleading her to please find Arnaud and if he was to awake in madness he wanted her to kill him, Please he pleaded in his mind don't let me hurt anyone please!!!
"Claire you know if I wake up and I'm in QS madness you know what to do? You know what I want you to do?"
"Yes Darien I do, give you another shot. I Know! Don't worry I will!"
He reached out to touch her gun
"No Claire! I want you to shoot me and aim to kill you have to you just have to I can't be the cause of someone's death Claire PLEASE!!!"
"Darien I... she trailed off as she realized he could no longer hear her Bobby looked at her as if to say "NO!"
Bobby and Claire stepped out of the van each of them adorned with a pair of thermal glasses. As they pulled out their guns and walked slowly if not cautiously toward the house. Claire looked to Bobby and said, "Don't worry Bobby I wouldn't."
"I know, you think I don't know but I do." Claire motioned to Bobby to go in around back.
As she opened the door Claire was surprised to find that the house was not as empty as she had thought. All sorts of medical equipment lay about the house everywhere she looked. Bobby came in the room shaking his head as Claire looked at him she asked, "anything?"
"Nope not a thing." He said, as they moved to the center of the room, on the far wall was a fridge Claire walked over to it and slowly pulled out a clear box of the counteragent that was stolen from the agency she removed one of the clear blue vials and began to fill a syringe Darien needed this and he needed it ... "Now!!" came a voice it was Arnaud. 2 Armed men and one rather tall, thin muscular looking woman stormed in holding them at gunpoint.
Bobby held his gun aimed at Arnaud his knuckles turning white with the strength of his grip.
Claire raised her gun still holding the syringe that Darien needed so desperately in her left hand. "I would put those down if I were you"
"Not a chance" Bobby said gripping harder on his gun.
Claire looked to Bobby for support he nodded his head. "I hope you know what you're doing." She thought as Arnaud stood across from her pacing.
"Well then you won't mind if we add someone to our little shall I say meeting of minds."
"Fine, whatever just make it quick."
Arnaud motioned to one of his men to go get him.
