Chapter Three

"Melfina, why do you speak of me that way?" Harry asked, and placed his hand on her cheek, but she turned her head. "Don't be so mean, Melfina."

She ignored him and stared at the floor. "Gene will come for me, I know he will," she said.

"Sure he will and when he does we will have some fun with him, won't we Ron?" He asked, and turned to the dark corner.

"Of course, brother," Ron said, walking out from the darkness. "And Melfina, you get a front row seat to it."

"I hate you, Harry!" She shouted. "I won't let you hurt Gene! I love him!"

"Sure you do," Harry said, and laughed. "But we will change that."

Melfina stared at him with hatred in her eyes. She turned away and sighed with disgust. She missed Gene and wanted him to be here to rescue her. "Gene," she whispered, and her eyes watered. "Please, save me…"

Back at the ship…

Gene, Jim, Aisha, and Suzuka sat in the main control room, thinking of where Melfina could be.

"Gene, is there anyone you would suspect that would take her?" Suzuka asked.

"Well, there is one person," he replied. "Harry Mcdougal."

"Then that is who took her," Jim said. "He is always trying to take her and he finally succeeded this time."

"By the way, why were you in her room anyway?" Suzuka asked.

Gene blushed and but his gun in the holster. "I think we should go now," he said, changing the subject.

"Awe Gene," Jim teased. "You don't have to tell us if you don't want to."

"Good, because I don't," he replied.

They walked down the terminal and stopped when a guy dressed in a black cloak and hood, stood at the end of it. Gene placed his hand on his gun and got ready.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"Gene Starwind?" The guy asked.

"Yeah, that's me," Gene replied.

"I have a letter for you," he said, and handed it to him. "I think you'll like it."

Gene looked down at the envelope and then looked back up, but the guy wasn't there. "Where did he go?" he asked, but his friends shrugged their shoulders. He looked down and opened it. Inside, there was a piece of paper.

"What does it say, Gene?" Jim asked.

"It says: Gene Starwind,
We have Melfina and if you want her back, you must come to the address below. But, you must be unarmed and alone. If I see that you didn't follow my directions I will take Melfina away and you'll never see her again.
-Harry-
67 North Street, Warehouse District."

"What are you going to do?" Aisha asked.

"I have to go save her," he replied. "Jim, I need you to help with hiding my gun."

Jim nodded and ran back into the ship. Gene slowly followed with his hands balled up in fists. He got to the control room where Jim was rummaging through a box with all sorts of weapons in it.

He pulled out a small handgun and walked over to Gene. "Here, " he said and handed it to him. "I guarantee it won't be found and that it has a good shot."

"Thanks kid," he said, and hid the gun in his pocket.

"Gene, your other gun," Jim said, pointing to the one in his holster. "He will definitely see that one."

"Fine," he said, and pulled it out of the holster and then handed it to him. "Wish me luck."

"Good luck," he replied. "We'll be there to keep watch."

"Alright." He said, and walked off of the terminal. "I'll save you, Melfina."

Back at the warehouse…

"Melfina, it seems your friend has got our message, and I'm sure he will be here very soon." Harry said. "And then we will see who really deserves you."

Tears rolled down her face. "Gene," she murmured. "Please come here soon."
