Hey loyal fans heres chapter 6...it's really short I know. But bare with me...enjoy!
Hellboy knew the plan was beyond ridiculous but what he couldn't quite understand was his father insistence on keeping him aside and encouraging the hostage and negations team to take control of the "issue."
"A bunch of suits...." Said Hellboy still pouting in the corner from his father's latest demands.
"A bunch of good for nothing suits..." He said once again loud enough to a passing agent who was talking diligently on his cell phone now wishing he hadn't passed the obviously frustrated red giant who appeared as though he was ready to pounce on anyone at any moment.
Meanwhile Abe observed the steady chaos from across the room.
"Are you quite sure that keeping him out of this is such a good idea?" He asked the quickly aging professor.
"Oh my...I'm afraid of what is going to happen out there Abe. I don't want anything to happen to Liz, but his safety can't be secured if he goes out tonight either. It would be much better if we sent an ambush of agents along and kept Hellboy out of this... Besides you know how his emotions can get the best of him at times...I don't want him doing something without thinking that could put Liz in danger."
Abe continued to ponder. And he turned to the grief struck old man. "I certainly hope your right professor... I really, really do."
Yet the last part of the conversation wasn't heard by Hellboy who had somehow managed to sneak out of the room despite his very large figure.
And several minutes later he was standing readily on top of the roof watching the sun quickly setting and stars steadily taking it's place.
"Don't worry Liz...I'll come after you."
The room was darker than it had been in the last few hours. And despite the fact that her lack of sight had forced Liz to interact more and more with her senses her mind seemed to be focusing more and more on the alluring truth.
She was in serious trouble.
She recalled earlier after the forced phone call when the two men who were speaking outside her door. The conversation terrified her to the base of her spine. And although the voices were muffled she managed to pick out bites and pieces of the lecture.
"What does boss what us to do with the girl..."
"Oh hell, he doesn't care. He just wants us to get rid of her before he retrieves the newest freak."
Laughter followed.
"Oh come on! I got rid of the last one!"
"It's your turn..."
"Fine but lets wait till it gets dark..."
"...Just dump her in the back with the others..."
Laughter soon followed at some unheard joke because Liz could only hear the sound of her shallow breath.
She was in serious trouble.
She finally let a well-deserved tear slide down her cheek. And why would anyone care? It had been hours...and besides they probably didn't even know where she was...and even if they did why would Hellboy sacrifice himself for her.
She replayed the last thing she said to him and It made her cry out. God! What did I do? It was the last thing I said to him before all of this...and it might be the last thing I'll ever say to him...
Liz thought of the huge grin that would spread across her Red's face when she would touch him for a brief moment, or the way he laughed when several of the cats would land on her head as she would walk into his room.
"I'm sorry Red..." She whispered to the sound of the metal door opening softly, which quickly followed with two sets of footsteps. She could smell the familiar scent of chloroform and before she could think again a small cloth was over her mouth.
"Nighty nighty!" Chuckled the two men as they carried the un-conscience Liz out of the last room she would ever walk through.
