Day 1
I was kidnapped and stuck in this dark hole. Dirt everywhere. Whoever it was sure wasn't Arnaud I guess I was right. When he threw me in he cut my arm and I fell. Because of that I kinda broke my leg. The bone sticks right through my pants so I think it's pretty bad. This guy tells me to call him sir and if I don't he threatens me with no food or water.
The next day back at the office a dizzy Bobby walks into the keep.
"Bobby you okay?"
"No I'm not okay do I look like I'm okay? Quit movin' there keep."
"Sorry, What happened?"
"Somebody grabbed Fawkes."
"What? I thought you were watching him."
"I was but they put something in my drink or something.'
"Any news on prints off those letters."
"Yes actually it wasn't Arnaud."
"So if it wasn't him then who was it."
Just then the door swooshed open and the official and Ebert's came in.
Mr. Hobbes we believe it to be a disgruntled employee but as soon as we get the preliminary fingerprint testing completed. We will be going after the suspect in question.
"We better EBERT'S!"
"Bobby stop antagonizing Ebert's."
"Yes sir."
The testing results will not be back for at least twenty-four hours.
In the meantime we need to begin checking on everyone Fawkes has ran into, spoken to or had any kind of dealings with whatsoever in the past two weeks. Check and re-check anyone in question at all bring 'em in Bobby."
"Yes sir I'll do that sir. But didn't you say you thought it was an employee."
"Yes Bobby we just need to be sure we cover all the bases."
I took some bandages and some water to Mr. Fawkes today and when I asked him what the counteragent was for he lied to me. He actually thought I would believe it was to keep him from turning into a madman who does he think I am? I will try again tomorrow, but for this I will have to withhold food for a few days. Water will have to do for now until he learns to be honest with me.
Day 2
Sir asked me to tell me what the counteragent was for. I told him but he didn't believe me. For my sins he broke a vial of counteragent. He then said I would have to miss a few meals. That's okay though because I have been feeling rather sick. I don't know if it's because of my leg, arm or that infection the keep said I had. It doesn't make a difference though. Either way I am getting sicker every hour. I need to try to find a way out of here, but that will have to wait 'til morning. Right now all I want to do is sleep.
Please Bobby help me!
I went back into work today I have two days left there. Must go find out what counteragent is for. Talked to shelly again today I asked if she knew what it was for, but she said that all she knew was that it was TOP SECRET and that I should leave it at that.
She could be right but what if Mr. Fawkes was right. Oh well it's getting late and I need to go try again with Mr. Fawkes before it gets dark. If I have to I will go back to the lab and try to find out some info.
Day 3
The voices are starting, but they don't matter anymore. I'm going to die. I looked for something to set my leg. There's nothin' down here just dirt so my leg is getting worse infection has set in I think. It hurts worse so I think it has. I used some bandages and water on my arm it feels a little better like that matters. Sir came again before dark this time. I think he wanted to know if I would die. To his satisfaction it was an astounding yes. He laughed at me this time when I told him 'again' what the counteragent was for. He broke the rest of the vials he had. I don't think I'm going to make it. I can't find a way out and I can't seem to move anymore all I want to do is sleep.
Mr. Fawkes doesn't think I'm serious he still tells me the same lies so I had to break the rest of the bottles. Mr. Hobbes questioned everyone today. He tried to make me feel like I should and do know where Mr. Fawkes is. I do, but if they find him I won't get my job back so he will just have to stay where he is. Mom says she's coming out here today I'll have to make sure she stays away from pit #6.
Day 4
I think I'm going to die my head hurts the madman wants out but it won't matter. He will just go crazy and die like me. I hurt so much why won't someone help me.
I hear someone I think that it's Sir I can't let him know I'm writing. I have to stay awake, but it's so hard now.
Early in the day Kory's mother went out to meet him, but he wasn't expecting her until 8pm., which is what was agreed upon. Walking around she saw some kind of mess around one of the holes and decided to investigate. Then when she looked in she saw him barely alive barely moving at the bottom of the pit. Fawkes looked up and saw her he thought at first she was there to torment him too but after a moment realized she was shocked to see him there.
"Ma'am he said lethargically. Can you go get some help?"
"Yes right away I'm sorry about this did you fall?"
"No, someone has been keeping me here. Now please hurry."
No sooner did she leave than did Fawkes pass out he had no strength left and had used any reserves he did have to get her to help him. He had exhausted every last bit of strength he had left. He hadn't even enough to finish writing in the diary Sir had been sure he had.
Mrs. Medelsan showed up at the agency late in the evening she went there because according to her son it was the best place to go when you needed help. She was ushered to the official's office and upon speaking to him he then escorted her to the keep where Bobby and Claire were talking and hoping they would find Fawkes soon.
The door to the keep swooshed open and the official came in.
'Sorry boss I can't find anyone here with any kind of a past record."
"Maybe not Bobby but Mrs. Medelsan here thinks it might be her son. It seems he thinks he's going to get his job back. We had to fire him a few days ago because of cutbacks."
"Boss why didn't you say sooner?"
"I just did. Besides that she says she found a man fitting Darien's description in a 50 ft hole up in the hills where they own some land. She said he didn't look so good. So Bobby take Claire and Mrs. Medelsan here with you and she can show you where to go. Mr. Medelsan is still working so we'll take care of that from our end. Just go and Bobby."
"Yeah boss?"
"Hurry she said he didn't look too good.
They drove for almost an hour before they got there. When they got close there were broken bottles everywhere.
'What is it Claire?"
"It looks like counteragent."
"We better hurry because according to my calculations he needs it now."
"Yeah okay."
"Over here Mrs. Medelsan pointed. I think it's one of these there are so many it's hard to remember which one.
"I'm so sorry about my son if I'd only known…."
"Yeah, well we're here now, we'll find him. Claire said with a tone of concern. Oh!!! She screamed."
"What?"
"Bobby over here he's down this one over here."
They looked and saw a bloody, dirty, unconscious Fawkes at the bottom of a hole.
Claire called the official while Bobby got a ladder and hauled his partner out of the hole with a little help from Claire that is.
Three days later he awoke in the I.C.U. at Fort Leavitt. Bobby was slumped over in a chair and Claire was standing next to him checking the monitors for any sign of encouragement.
"How long have I been here?" He asked faintly.
"Long enough about time you woke up."
"Bobby he's awake."
Bobby sat up in his chair trying to shake the sleep off and leaned in to talk to Darien.
"Hey my friend, how are ya feelin'?"
"Better now that I'm with you guys and away from that madman. Thanks you guys I don't know what I'd do without you."
"You'd be dead that's what."
"Oh yeah. He said weakly."
"We found this." Claire handed him the Diary he had been writing in. He was too weak to take it so she just sat it on the table next to him.'
"Did you read it?"
"Some of it. Not all but some."
"Sorry I was… He trailed off he knew they understood so he'd just leave it at that.
They sat and smiled and talked for a while. He didn't want them to leave he'd been alone
for so long in that pit. And that was not what he wanted to be again, alone.
"I always thought the madman was me until I met someone worse than I thought even I could become. Now I think the madman inside me he isn't so much mad he's just angry. I think I can live with that."
I was kidnapped and stuck in this dark hole. Dirt everywhere. Whoever it was sure wasn't Arnaud I guess I was right. When he threw me in he cut my arm and I fell. Because of that I kinda broke my leg. The bone sticks right through my pants so I think it's pretty bad. This guy tells me to call him sir and if I don't he threatens me with no food or water.
