Hostage Situation
Chapter 5: The Tin Man
By Tippy
*********************************************************
The tall, shadowed doctor hovered over Jim as he sat on the uncomfortable table. His crystal eyes clouded with pain at the effort to breath. Gritting his teeth, he couldn't help but hunch over farther, his hand pressed against his aching ribs in an attempt to stop the pain.
He became slightly aware of a large hand running up and down his back. It was cool and smooth, moving in an almost perfect circle. After a few agonizing minutes, the pain pasted and Jim lifted his eyes again. He noticed the growing amount of light in the room coming from the overhead lamps. He turned to gaze at the man who still had his hand on his back.
Before him stood a tall figure, dressed in black slacks, a white dress shirt and lab coat. He was bald, which wouldn't have been that big a deal except for the fact that his skin was a metallic silver. The man was a bioandroid.
Jim edged himself away a bit, the android tilting its head to the side in confusion. Its head shot up as if it had come up with a perfect idea. Its metallic eyes turned to Jim's, a big smile on its face.
"You know what I think?" It spoke again, a bit higher than before, reminding him too much of Fred Luo. "I think someone's hungry! You need some eggo waffles! How does that sound?" It smiled cheerfully.
The stunned blond was forced to latch onto the table to keep from falling off it. Before he could say a word, the bioandroid scooped him up and marched out of the room with him.
What's going on?!?
The turned down a corridor on the right, Jim unable to free himself from the figures hold.
He finally stopped struggling when they entered what looked like… a kitchen.

Gene pulled off the next panel, laying it aside. They'd been working for hours now with no breaks. His arms ached from all the lifting and intricate wiring. On the opposite side of the cockpit, Melfina worked with wires that needed to be reconnected. Aisha was outside the cockpit, working on the outer door. They needed to get this done quickly and there wasn't much time left.
"Gene…"
"Ya, Mel?"
"Do you think this will work?"
"It has to."
"But… what if it doesn't and I have to go with them?"
The outlaw let out a sigh. "That's not going to happen."
"But what if it does…" He could hear the strain in her voice.
"Mel…" He sat up, looking across the pilot seat to the Dark haired girl in front of him. " There is no way I would let them have you. Even if this doesn't work and they get away, I'll bring you back…"
"You promise?"
"I promise."
"If you two are finished with your sappy moment, there's still a lot of work to be done!" The shrill voice of Aisha pierced the air.
"Aisha! Don't sneak up like that! I'm too young to have a heart attack!" Gene jumped to his feet and marched off the bridge to find more parts that would be needed.
The two females watched as he departed.
"Don't worry, Mel. This plan will work. So cheer up!" The ctarl ctarl shot the bioandroid a smile, then bounded off to finish her own work.
Melfina smiled and continued her rewiring.

Harry and Ron MacDougall entered the med bay expecting to see their captive still laying on the table. What they got was an empty room.
"I knew we shouldn't have left him with that mechanical disaster!" Harry fumed.
"Settle down, Harry. The boy's injured. He couldn't have gotten far." Ron turned, his brother following as they left the lab.
They were passing a second hallway, when they heard the fuss coming from the kitchen.
"You have to eat! You're a growing boy!"
"I'm not hungry!"
"None of that now. It's getting cold."
The brother's raised a brow in unison, then quickly made their way down the hall. They were met with a comical scene. The kid sat, strapped to a chair, a plate heaping with waffles placed in front of him, and the android attempting to shove a bite into the boy's mouth.
The two outlaws had couldn't help but laugh at the sight. Their prisoner was supposed to be tortured by the android, but instead of the painful kind, the kid was being smothered with syrup and waffles. It was just too much for the two men.
Tbc…
