Chapter Sixteen
Introducing the Bad Guys
Scott pushed Professor Xavier's wheelchair past the plastic doors.
"I'll take it from here," said Mitchell Lorelio. Scott was reluctant to let the burley man take over.
"That's alright, Scott," the Professor assured him. Scott stepped back
"Nice glassed," taunted the guard taking the handles of the plastic wheelchair. Meaning: 'I'd like to take them offa' ya' pretty boy.
"Thanks," Scott returned. Meaning: 'You're welcome to try.'
Lorelio pushed the chair to the metal detector. "You're clear," said the man at the controls and the continued down the bridge to the plastic chamber.
Scott watched the monitor intently, ignoring the other guards until he saw Charles lurch forward in his chair.
*Scott,* he called out.
"What the *hell!*" He demanded. He spun and noticed the Asian woman coming at him. He hit her with a beam of red light that knocked her against the back wall.
Next Lorelio came at him, but the slim built "pretty boy," was more than he had expected. He put up a good fight and was more than willing to take punishment. He found if he could keep is hands pinned down, he stood a better chance, but Scott eventually managed to slip a hand loose and another blast sent the guard across the room.
As Scott turned he was faced with the Asian woman again. He had thought her out for the duration, but there she was, as if nothing had ever happened.
She leapt at him and spun in the air, delivering a blow to his head that sent him to the floor unconscious.
