The Rescue
by ohfan007
Part 1
Author's note, dedication, and disclaimer:This is a sequel to my story The Kidnapping.This is a multi narrator story. I have made this a separate story from the kidnapping because some new voices are going to be telling their side. The Kidnapping which had four narrators, and one guest narrator at the end, would have gotten crowded, so therefore, I feel it is time to make the sequel. I am rambling again aren't I, sorry. I dedicate this story to God, the invisible man cast, my family, and my two iman buddies, defohnfemme, and Jordan_radcliffe.Most of these characters are not mine, Invisible man character belongs to scifi, and who ever else claims rights to them, lucy de vere is the creation of defohnfemme. I only lay claim to the Eberts family, his housemates, and Agent Smith, and various other minor characters.

For those of you who are reading this before Kidnapping, -or- not reading kidnapping here is a brief summary. Eberts is kidnapped by Arnaud De Fohn.De fohn is going to torture Eberts. Helping him with ransom notes and other various jobs is Lucy De Vere. The official gets a fax from the raven, lucy's mercenary name, about the kidnapping. Also, a contamination case from the Fbi comes in. Alex and Claire go try and find the Raven, Hobbes and Darien deal with the contamination.Robert Eberts, comes to visit his friend, The Official, to laugh at the predicament his son is in. And Alex and Claire bring Lucy into custody, as part of Arnaud's plan.


The Summer is over and all the flowers are dying.

George Berkeley once said " He who says there is no such thing as an honest man, is himself a knave." He has obivously never dealt with the likes of this woman, and who ever she works for. She is putting on one of those feminnine acts, bursting into tears, and moaning about being forced to do this, and not getting all the rights she is entitled to as a UK citizen. Then, we have Eberts father, who is making cracks about everything, including his son being kidnapped, especially if this serving wench did it. I am trying to figure out them both as I lean against the cold metal filing cabinet in The Official's office. Something is rubbing me wrong, about both of them. Okay, let say, Mr. Eberts is really glad his son was kidnapped, and this woman, who has refused to give her name, had nothing to do with Eberts kidnapping, then what in the world are they hiding. They definetly both are hiding something. I am getting so tired of people hiding things from me. Maybe I should have become a psychatrist instead of a theif, then I could pick inside people's heads more. Nah, it would have never worked out, I may have become as paranoid as Hobbes, I do not need that kind of life, I have enough problems, without forming any new mental illnesses. Alex and Claire left ten minutes ago.

"I am a citizen of the United Kingdom, I demand my rights." The woman screams again.

"Look, lady, you will get your rights, but first you have to tell us your name, and what you know about the kidnapping."The Official says, he appears to be getting agrivated with her. Between her, and Mr. Eberts, Me and Hobbes figure he has enough problems, and it is not the time to make wisecracks. The time will come again.

Robert Eberts laughs in his chair, his perfectly trimmed buzzcut of silvery hair, rattles with his head, as he leans back and laughs harder. "I bet she kidnapped him, probably tricked him into thinking, she was going to by one of his paintings." His laugh is hard on the ears, and is hackling. He's probably a smoker. He seems like the marine type, a pompous ass, who has his own sense of humor on everything.I think I feel more sorry Eberts had to live with this guy, then because he got kidnapped. I know if I was him, I would fake being kidnapped, as to walk out on this place, but Eberts doesn't seem the type to do that, and I would activate that plan, but it does me no good at this point. I am stuck here.

"Why should I tell you my name?Your agents come up behind me while I was on the phone, and arrested me, for something I am being forced to do.You are Human and Health resource officers, I really think you have no jursidiction, -or- justifiable cause to hold me here."

He pages two of the guards.They run in promptly. "Take her to the room,strip search her, and we will interrogate her later."

I watch as they take her away, suddenly something flashes in my head. She's dangerous. She probably is.

"Rob, I will talk to you later." Mr.Eberts nods, and salutes The Official and departs.

He turns to us. "You two ready for some investigating reporting?"

"Sure, chief, what's up?" Hobbes asks. We both sling nearer to him.

"After the strip search, you two will interrogate her, each with the same questions. And the second one who does it, if she tells you another person already tell her you are with the FBI. I want to get the truth out of her, and find Eberts before The Raven kills her."

"What is the Raven is that woman?" I asks, i sit on his desk.

"I don't think she is, but if she is, we will cross that bridge when we get there." He dismisses us.

"Hey, Fawkes, do you think we are going to bring back Eberts alive, it isn't really that much of a loss if he dies, not like I want him to die, but it it?"

I give Hobbes a funny look.Why in the world is he asking me this. "Why don't we just try bring Eberts back alive, okay?"

"Umm...Okay." He walks off. "Do you think I can have his office if he dies?" I know he doesn't really hate Eberts, he must have stop taking his meds, again.

Alex comes up behind us. "Whom are you talking about Bobby?" She raises an eyebrow. I can almost sense her snarling at him, if he answers wrong.

"Eberts." He says, not looking directly into her eyes.

"We're going to bring him back alive, so do not talk like that." She snaps at him and walks away.

"Oh, Miss Attitude today, its almost as if she like Eberts." He answers. I quicksilver, while he is watching her leave.

I slap him in the back of the head, and go to check on Claire. I can hear him in the hallway saying. "Hey, who did that, Fawkes? Faw..." The door closes as I enter the lab.
