Chapter 2 Kind of a "filler" chapter.
p.s. Thank you for everyone who reviewed...I like hearing what people think!
Back at the entrance of the cemetery stood a silent Meyers leaning against
the cold metal truck that had brought them there. Inside the cabin of the
vehicle sat the two remaining agents. Not too long ago had Meyers informed
them of Liz's death. The agents had each loved Liz in their own way and
were heartbroken at the news of her passing.
Meyers rubbed his hands over his arms in attempt to warm up. He could have waited in the truck with the other agents but he decided he should meet Hellboy when he came up. Meyers shivered, and this time it wasn't from the cold. He couldn't even begin to imagine the pain Hellboy must be going through. Meyer had only known Liz a few days and he was feeling a heavy loss...but Hellboy had loved her, he must be in utter anguish.
Agent Meyers looked up at the sky as he felt the snow that had been falling lightly earlier but now falling rather heavily. Rolling up his sleeve he glanced at his watch to check the time. It was getting pretty late and if they didn't make it out of there soon they would get caught in a snow storm.
When the weather showed no sign of improving after several minutes Meyers lightly knocked on the window of the truck. The agent sitting next to the door slowly rolled down his window.
"Hey, I'm going to go back down to get Hellboy. The weather is getting pretty nasty and if we don't get to the plane soon we might be grounded." Meyers said.
"I'll go with you." The agent moved to open the door.
"No, I better go alone. Red's not in the best mood...more people might just set him off."
The man inside the car nodded his head in understanding before rolling up the window. With that Meyers headed back into the cemetery.
As he walked deeper into the cemetery he heard the crunching of snow under heavy feat. He stopped walking when he spotted Hellboy walking towards him, Liz's lifeless body nestled in his arms. The sight was absolutely heartbreaking.
Meyers cautiously walked towards Hellboy keeping in mind that even in his better moods he could be set off easily. "Hey." Meyers said.
Hellboy didn't respond, instead he kept walking towards the truck.
Meyers mentally berated himself. Had he really just said, "hey?" For God's sake the man just lost the love his life and he said hey.
Hellboy and Meyers walked in silence the rest of the way in till they reached the truck. When they got there Hellboy started walking to the back of the truck before Meyers stopped him. "Umm, why don't you ride up front...I can ride in back with her."
Hellboy cringed at the way Meyers had said, "Her." It sounded like he was talking about a piece of luggage or something, not a person. "I'll sit in back with Liz." He said coolly.
"No, I don't mind..."
Hellboy turned to Meyers, anger quickly filling his voice. "I will sit in back with Liz." He said it in such a way that Meyers knew there would be no more discussion. Hellboy then turned around, got in the back of the truck, and slammed the door shut, which made Meyers wince.
Walking to the cab of the truck Meyers sighed. "This is going to be one long trip home."
