"Talking"
'Thinking'
Actions
(Me!)
Roll woke up to the sound of Lan's snoring, the exact same way she had fallen asleep. She tried to sit up, but couldn't because of whatever was holding her back.
"What is going on?" Roll tried once again to move, but couldn't. She rolled over only to come face to face with Megaman, who was still sleeping.
'He looks so cute.' Roll reached out and touched his cheek gently, hoping she didn't wake him. 'But how am I going to get up?' Roll gently moved her hands down to Megaman's hands and gently tried to pry them from around her. After a few futile attempts, she gave up. 'He's not moving. I guess I should use this time to think about what we should do next. We know it's got to be one of the Wildstar's either the son or the father, but which one. Mr. Wildstar doesn't seem like the type to kidnap Maylu even if he has some type of grudge against her. So why does everyone think it's him? As soon as I get up, I have some hacking to do... Truth be told, I don't want to do that, but I'm going to have to if I want to find Maylu soon. Uh-oh Megaman's moving.' Roll closed her eyes tightly and tried not to make any sounds. She felt Megaman move beside her, and then his arms moved from around her waist. She felt him caress her face softly with his hands.
"Roll, this is so hard for me. How can I confess to you if I'm not supposed to care for you any more than a friend?" Roll heard Megaman sigh and it made her heart ache with her need to comfort him. But she fought it back, letting him continue.
"And it doesn't help that you live with me. Oh Roll...This is killing me." Roll had never heard Megaman sound so serious and she had never heard him sound in so much pain. What had she done that was hurting him so much? What did he want to confess? Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt his lips touch her cheek softly and it took everything in her not to shout out in joy. Some way or another, she managed to stay perfectly still.
"Megaman? Are you up yet?" Roll knew Lan had woken up and decided it was time for her entrance as well. She faked a yawn and stretched, opening one eye slowly.
"Is it time to get up already?" Roll asked, faking tiredness. 'I can't let him know I was awake. He can't ever find out.'
"Only if you want to, Roll." Megaman answered, with a smile.
Roll smiled back and sat up, "Then I'll get up. Do you feel any better, Lan?"
"Much. Thank you for letting me rest."
"You needed it. I just helped push you along." Roll grinned at Lan, who smiled back and sat down in front of the computer. He put his headband back on his head and began to lace up his shoes. "So do you two have any ideas about what we should do?"
"Lan, if you can get me near their systems, I can hack into the cameras and send them here to the computer. That way we can watch what happens in the store."
"You can hack? But isn't that wrong?" Lan asked, looking at the two navis with a worried expression.
"Well... yes and no. It's wrong because some people use it as a bad thing, but we're using it to help Maylu so it's okay. Right?" Roll looked between the two boys, waiting for their answer.
"Well it's for Maylu. It is to help save her. I say we do it."
"And if we get caught."
"Then we get caught. But you have to make sure you don't." Roll said, knowing Lan could do the impossible when it came to his friends.
"Well how are we going to do this?" Megaman asked, turning to Roll.
"Mega, you and I will go into the computer system as soon as Lan can get us in. After that I can figure out the passwords to it, get in and change the routes of the views from whatever room there in to my PET. Since it's already here, as soon as I get in, you can go to my PET and make sure the transfer is safe. After I get the output areas changed, we can go." Roll watched as Lan and Megaman nodded and looked slightly surprised.
"You figured all of that out in...Five minutes?" Lan asked, lifting an eyebrow.
"I had a dream about it." Roll answered simply, hoping he would take that for an answer. Lan nodded and told both navis to get into Megaman's PET. They were going to make a late night visit to the Wildcard.
Elsewhere
Maylu blinked her eyes slowly, feeling almost immediate pain at the way her cheek was pressed against the wall. She then remembered what had happened and felt tears slowly form in her eyes.
"You're awake. Good."
It was the same person from earlier. Maylu still couldn't make out who it was or what they looked like, but she knew she was in danger again. She moved her head to a rest position on the wall, trying to get off of her swollen cheeks.
"What do you want?" Maylu spit out, her voice full of venom.
The hand grabbed her hair and yanked her face forward, causing her to cry out. She knew she felt some of her hair rip out at the motion, but didn't dare say that out loud.
"I came to give you food and let you use the bathroom. Wouldn't want you peeing on my floor and stinking up the place." Maylu felt the chains on her arms and legs fall to the ground and she stood up, hugging the wall tightly.
"Why?"
"Didn't I just tell you why? Now quit asking stupid questions and go to the bathroom. See that light on the other side of this room? That's where it is. Just go in there and use the bathroom. Then you come right back out. And no funny business either." The voice said, stepping away from her. He walked up the stairs where the exit was and watched as Maylu used the wall to get her to the bathroom. There was a toilet and a sink, with a mirror over it. Maylu tried to avoid looking in the mirror because she was afraid to see her face.
"You have four minutes!" Came the voice from the stairs. Maylu locked the bathroom door and used the restroom, hoping he didn't try to walk in on her. After flushing the toilet, she turned to the mirror and washed her hands in the sink. She saw how swollen her cheeks were and saw the bruises from where he hit her. Her hair was dirty and rough, with little clumps of blood caught in it. Maylu took a paper towel and washed her face, then got the clumps out of her hair. Shutting off the water, she stepped out of the bathroom only to find her captor waiting outside the door for her.
"You took to long." Her captor backhanded her, knocking her to the floor. Maylu cried out, but bite her lip and refused to cry out anymore.
"I said four minutes! You were in there five!" He kicked her in the stomach and in her back, watching as she began to cough loudly. "Shut up!" He yelled back handing her again.
"You sick, weak bastard." Maylu managed to say, between gasps of breath.
"Ah, such nice words for such a good girl like you." He snatched her up by her wrist, yanking hard and began to pull her across the room, barely giving her time to stand up and walk on her own.
"That doesn't change what you are."
"If you keep talking, I won't give you anything to eat. Stupid whore." He handed her a container of food from a restaurant that Maylu visited often.
"How'd you know that I?"
"Eat or I'll take it back. You have four minutes."
Maylu glanced warily at the food in the container and then began to eat. As she shoved the food as quickly as she could in her mouth, she began to cry. The tears trailed down her face and blocked her vision, but Maylu continued to eat as quickly knowing if she didn't, she might never be able to eat again until she was saved. When all the food was gone, Maylu hand the eating utensils back to her captor. She stayed perfectly silent as he chained her back to the wall and didn't speak when he kissed her heavily on the mouth. She didn't even flinch when he lifted a hand to hit her.
"You're becoming broken, Maylu. Soon you'll be all mine." He whispered in her ear, and tapped her nose gently for good measure. Then her captor left her in the dark room alone again, leaving her with anger burning in her eyes and heart.
Twenty Minutes Later
"Lan, you have to hook me up to those cables over there. Mega and I can get in that way. Mega, you ready?" Roll asked, grabbing his hand and squeezing gently. Megaman nodded and waited for the data portal to open. He'd have to hold on tightly to Roll since she could ride in any data stream she chose.
"Okay, I'm hooking you both up now." Lan opened the box with the light pole's computer in it. He hooked the PET up and watched as Megaman and Roll went through to the Wild Card's security system. When the back door opened for Lan, he knew they had gotten in.
"Okay, now Lan, I need you to find a camera somewhere for me. Don't worry I managed to pause them so they are just playing what the saw about five minutes ago over and over again."
"I found a camera. Now what do I do?" Lan asked, standing next to the camera.
"Plug in my PET." Lan did as he was told and watched as Roll and Megaman appeared on the screen. "Okay Lan, now I need you to follow me word for word. Don't do anything I don't tell you to do."
"Gotcha." Lan watched as a screen popped up.
"Now Lan put in this code. 855789643. In that exact order."
Lan pressed the numbers in and watched as another screen popped up. "Now what."
"Now scroll down to the bottom of the screen and select output options." Lan did as he was told and waited for further instruction.
"Now, select change output area. And then change it to my PET by typing in ROLL'S PET in capital letters. I have to work so they can't discover this." Roll disappeared from the screen and Lan heard something that sounded like a click. "Now, they won't know what happened and they can't trace it either."
"How'd you learn how to do all this?"
"A friend." Was the only answer Roll gave and four screens popped up on her PET. Roll walked to one screen and pointed, "This is the front of the store." She walked to the screen next to it, "This is the one in the white room. And these bottom two are for the male and female dressing room." Roll looked up at Lan, who nodded. "Well we can go now. I'm done. The rest can be done in your room."
"Alright, plugging you out." Lan unplugged the PET and ran outside, hurrying before the security system kicked back in. He then unplugged Megaman's PET and ran back home, both navis in both PETs.
Later
"Wait, stop the cameras really quick. In the white room." Lan said, watching Wildstar walk around the room. He was on the phone and was obviously angry.
"Now play it, Roll."
Roll nodded and let the camera recording play.
"What do you mean you need help? It's not my fault your in this mess in the first place! I didn't do it, so I'm not a part of it! I don't want to know how you came up with that idea! What possessed you to do something like this! You idiot!" The three watched as Mr. Wildstar yelled into his phone, an angry look on his face. He was glaring at the phone, his cheeks flushing red.
"I wonder who he's talking to?" Roll asked, her eyes focused on the video.
"I don't know." Megaman answered, watching as well.
"Shhhhhh! He's talking again." Lan said, hushing both navis.
"So what are you going to do now? You're not dropping this on me! I'm not helping you. Matter of fact, I'm cutting you from the company! I don't care what happens to you! You should've thought of that before I found you out! Idiot..." Mr. Wildstar plopped down on the white couch in the all white room, the flush slowly leaving his cheeks. He nodded as if the person he was talking to could see him, then got up and left the room, closing the door behind him.
"Wow...I wonder what that was all about." Lan leaned back in his seat, looking between the two navis.
"I don't know." Megaman turned to look at Roll, who shrugged and looked at another camera screen.
"Whoever it was, they made him very upset." Lan took off his shoes and began to change into his nightclothes.
"Yeah, I know." Megaman watched as Roll closed her eyes and laughed.
"Roll, you okay?"
"I don't want to see anything."
"Oh." Megaman pulled gently on Roll's hand and pulled her into his lap, laying her head gently into his chest. "Can you still see Lan?"
"No, all I can see now, is you." Roll whispered, loud enough for Megaman to hear.
"Good, that's what I wanted." Megaman rested his head gently on top of Roll's and he felt her smile. She leaned her body into his, hoping he wouldn't mind. And he didn't. Roll felt herself slowly drifting off into the warmth that surrounded her and in moments, she was sleeping again.
