Chapter 4: Hidden
If ever there was a time that Cam wanted time frozen it was now. The onslaught of questions came pummeling faster than he could have imagined. He threw his hands up in the air to silence them. All looked at him and Cam could tell they mad and with good reasoning. He had built a Dustin doll and how any of them had found out was beyond him but the real Dustin was in trouble and he knew he had to tell the others what had happened. He cleared his throat and asserted himself as the only on to talk.
"Who found out that this was a doll" Cam was pointing to the fake Dustin, who was sitting on the couch behind them all. Hunter raised his hand and then lowered it after Cam acknowledged him. Cam smiled to himself and continued on in a quick succession.
"First the real Dustin is fine the second thing is he asked me to create it and now the real Dustin is in danger. Stealer has decided that Dustin will be his next target after he is finished with me." Cam winced at the thought. He had still not felt the parasite in him move or anything and he feared it was now in Dustin. Tori raised his hand as though she was in school. He nodded and she laid into him
"What the hell Cam you created a replica of Shane's boyfriend and told none of us I mean why. I understand we have kind of drifted a part but…" She trailed of her anger searing. Cam understood, it was true they had sort of fall away from each other. But Dustin was the only one who could answer why he wanted a cyber double. Cam didn't ask he just built. And at that point Dustin hadn't mentioned Shane as his significant other. He knew that he had slept with him on various occasions while he was teacher. He shook the thought from his head. Shane had seemed to be relatively quite through this whole ordeal. Cam knew why and he wasn't surprised that he wasn't freaking out do to the imposter masking as his toy. But Shane knew where Dustin was and that was why he was remaining calm. He moved to Cam's defense and Stood next to Cam.
"I had Dustin ask Cam for the replicate." Shane spoke slowly. He looked to all the eyes except for Cam's and Dustin's. Hunter reached for him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Where is he Shane and why the secrecy" Hunter asked as he stood in front of the former Red ranger. Shane removed the hand on his shoulder and held it.
"He is fine he is in a different place right now and 'he' was built to keep as a teacher while he is away." He finished pointing to the doll when the door to the Ops. Opened flooding light in the dark room.
Dustin was in the deep forest of the Amazon rainforest for the past six months and for what he asked himself as he scanned his hand in the doorway to the ops. For a stupid key that was extremely old. When he had grabbed the thing almost crumbled in his hand. Then the trap went off the one he had seen coming six months earlier. But having clamed the key and escaping with his life he could return home and just in time to keep the Stealer from killing Cam. As he walked in the door he was thrown back at the response he got. He had expected jut to find Cam clattering away at the computer and maybe the cyber double of him doing something but under no thought did he foresee everyone there.
Tori was cast aside as Shane ran to him pulling him into a full embrace and a kiss to envy anyone on the planet. Cam smirked as he saw the key in his hand. He moved forward to grab the key when Hunter stopped him the others where swarming Dustin and that left Cam and him. He moved to the closes wall and put his hand through Cam's hair. He leaned in close till the inches between their lips were only centimeters apart. "Lying to the others is one thing Cam," his voice low and soft "but to me that was painful" he closed the sentence by pulling away and Cam was left stunned. As Hunter pulled away Cam grabbed his hand and pulled him back till Hunter's back was pressed against his front. The others were still paying attention to Dustin and Cam just wanted to let Hunter know how sorry he was and he was fairly certain that Hunter got the 'point' as he pressed himself harder against Hunter and let go of his hand. Cam couldn't se the smile Hunter had on his face and he walked towards the real Dustin.
After fending off the crowd of friends Dustin reached out the key he had to Cam. He shook his head and grabbed Dustin's hand and pressed it against his flat abs. Dustin blinked and then nodded. Cam opened his mouth to tell Dustin the bad news when Hunter fell to the floor.
