The characters don't belong to me except for Zu and are all owned by their
respective authors and the film company.
Thank you so much for everybody who has reviewed my story so far you have no idea how much that cheered me up. This will probably be the last bit I put up for a while (maybe) as I'm going back to uni on sunday and can't use the internet till I come home again at Christmas. I will try to leave it on a cliff hanger if I can to keep you interested.
It should actually start going somewhere now. As someone said poor Henry. I know I don't use the same name for him all the time but you all know who I mean so it doesn't matter.

"Dr Jekyll." Zu said worried as he stepped closer to the doctor.
"Stay away from me!" Jekyll almost growled at him.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing I can't handle now get away from me." Jekyll said lurching to his feet. The look on his face scared Zu as before the doctor had always seemed really civilised and polite there was now something of an animal about him.
"Don't move sir. I'll go and fetch someone else." Zu said turnning to go.
"N .. No wait, I'm alright now." Jekyll said making a last desperate effort to control Hyde.
"Let me take you back to your room sir, you look terrible, I think you need to sleep." Zu said.
"I think I do, if you would be so kind as let me lean on you I should be able to get back to my room."
"If you are sure sir."
"Quite. Now could w .. we please go before anyone else leaves the library." Jekyll said
"Certainly." Zu said walking slowly forward with the doctor leaning on his shoulder.
Dr Jekyll's room wasn't that far away from the library and Zu helped the worn out man into the room. Zu led Dr Jekyll over to the bed and helped him to lie down.
"T .. thank you." Jekyll murmered reaching out a hand to the other man.
"Think nothing of it. I'm supposed to be learning about the group so weeknesses are always useful." Zu told him.
"Thank you again. That's twice you've helped me, it could get to be a habit." The Dr said offering Zu his hand. Zu reluctantly put his hand in the older mans and they shock hands. When Zu went to pull his hand away the doctor stared intently at it. There was something starnge about this young man unfortunately in his current state he was in no condition to work it out.
"Think nothing of it. I am only doing what my Captain ordered. Sir." Zu said and with a bow left the troubled doctor alone.

An hour later ...
"I want you to promise that you will stay away from Dr Jekyll. He is dangerous at the best of times but now someone is trying to kill him he will prove even more dangerous for someone as unexperienced as you." Skinner had been going along the corridor after a few to drink but had stopped on hearing Nemo lecturing someone.
"I will not promise any such thing, the poor man is under enough stress without me trying to avoid him. Can't any of you see what you are doing to him!" a voice replied.
"I am your captain and as such require obedience!" Nemo stormed
"Throw me off your ship then. If you want me to be your second in command then you had better get used to me questioning your decisions and orders because I will keep doing it everytime I think thatyou are endangering one of this crew." the other replied. Skinner slipped around to see who the other was, to his surprise it was Zu who had seemed so timid the rest of the time was standing up to Nemo.
"You know I won't do that Zu." the Captain said gentler. "I just don't want to see you hurt."
"I won't get hurt. I've been looking after myself since you left 11 years ago. I needed you then but I don't anymore. I'm sorry but I'm not the person you once knew." Zu said and walked out the room nearly coliding with Skinner. Skinner turnned to follow him when a quiet sob from the room behind him caused him to stop. Nemo stood in the room unmoving with tears running down his usually impassive face. Who was this Zu to have such an influence over the Captain of the Nautilus.
............................................................................ ..............................................................
So who do we think Zu is then people? Why is he so interested in Jekyll? Who is trying to kill Jekyll and Why ? Will Tom and Mina ever stop arguing? unlikely especially as I keep forgetting about them.
Till next time.
