Tobey, who had never gone to sleep, finally did have to move his arm. He moved very slowly trying hard not to wake Sue up. He held her head while he took the splint out from under her head and rolled onto his back. He was past the point of shivering he was so cold. His breathing had become shallow. After several deep breaths he felt a little better, but he found it hard to concentrate on anything as he tried to think of a way out.
Through the fog he was experiencing in his mind, it suddenly occurred to him to check on Sue, she would be just as cold and he didn't know how badly Kong Li might have injured her. He had seen him punch and kick her and worried about what else he might have done to her before he was captured.
Tobey sat up and leaned over her to see her face. It looked like she was sleeping peacefully. He took her hand to feel for her pulse at her wrist and she didn't wake up. He got scared and pulled on her arm to roll her towards him. Her pulse seemed fast. He found his own pulse, and hers was faster than his.
She still hadn't woken up. "Sue?" he spoke softly and shook her arm. Then he pulled her up across his legs and hugged her. "Sue! Please wake up!"
"What? What's going on?" Sue woke up suddenly.
"Nothing, I was just worried about you." Tobey still held her in his arms.
"Did you have a nightmare?"
"No, I haven't been asleep. You hadn't moved in so long I got scared."
"It's good to know you are watching over me. If you weren't here with me I wouldn't have been able to go to sleep at all. Of course I would feel better if you were at the hospital with your wrist repaired, where you would be safe."
"I would prefer us both be home where it is safe. Hospitals are not safe. They are scary places with lots of sharp things."
"Still scared of hospitals too?"
"A little . . . don't tell – huh?"
"I won't."
The sound of a slamming door rang out in the warehouse. Tobey and Sue both cringed and Sue slid off his lap, but she still found Tobey's hand to hold. "I wonder how many entrances this place has."
Sue whispered. "I don't know, but Kong Li seems to use a different one each time."
The lights were still out. They heard more noise coming from the darkness and couldn't even tell for sure if Kong Li was in the room with them – or if it was really Kong Li?
"Hello?" Tobey said, his voice a little louder than normal speaking volume.
"Shhhhh Tobey, lets just wait and see what happens. We don't need to draw attention to ourselves, Kong Li knows we're here, and there are other things he could have created, that we really don't want to attract the attention of."
Tobey stayed quiet for a moment and held onto Sue's hand even tighter.
"Sue! Kiss me!"
"What? - Now?"
"Yes! What if it's our last chance! I don't want to die, I don't want you to die – but if we're gonna – I have to feel your lips on mine once more – once when you don't try to kill me first!"
"What a dork - you're my dork, huh?"
"Yep."
"Lucky me. Just like a boy, any excuse to kiss a girl." Sue smiled at him.
They both sounded groggy. The lack of sleep, their injuries and the cold was taking its toll on their bodies. Tobey still found the will to kiss Sue and keep kissing her until she told him to knock it off. He started with short, teasing pecks on her cheek, and at the corner's of her mouth. She bit his lower lip gently, but held on and leaned forward a little; her lips curled up ever so slightly at the corners.
Tobey was already sitting with his bare back leaning against the cold bars and she pushed him back a little more. Sue released his lip for just a moment as she rolled gracefully up on her knees over his lap. She sat in-between his legs with her feet sticking through the bars behind him. The burn on the back of her thigh still hurt a little, rubbing against his jeans, but it was a minor discomfort to put up with to be close to Tobey.
Tobey found her lips with his and pressed eagerly. She pushed her chest into his and backed him into the cage she stretched her back up and lifted up higher to reach him. Longing for her, he almost gasped when she stopped and held his lip between her teeth it didn't hurt, but he wanted more kissing and she was teasing him! Tobey pulled her head back to him. He moaned with pleasure when his lips found hers again.
Sue got hold of the splint on Tobey's wrist and lifted it a little roughly; eagerly. He whined a little, but didn't break the kiss. She raised his arm high and held it against the bars. She did the same thing with his other arm and he let her. She kept her hands under his to keep his arms up and held the bars on either side as far out and up as she could reach; his wrist, and the splint on the other side wrested on her wrists. Sue broke the kiss and mumbled "hold on," softly. In the position she left him, Tobey put his fingers through the bars and held on with his working hand. Sue opened one of the Velcro tags on the splint and wrapped it around a bar to hold his injured arm up.
Tobey wasn't sure what she was doing, but he was sure he would like it. He had all but forgotten how much trouble they were in. Sue hugged his bare chest tightly, her arms around his ribs and up his back. She reached up to his jaw near his ear with her lips. He got goosebumps and closed his eyes when she licked him! She eagerly started kissing his jaw and neck.
She was almost down to his collarbone when she gasped and looked over his shoulder. "Aaag! Let go!"
"I didn't grab you!" Tobey could feel her trying to kick something. "What is it Sue, he asked as he tried to turn around. The velcro came off the bar and his arm fell sending sharp pains from his wrist all the way up his shoulder. He cried out from his arm falling as she cried out when her butt came off the ground as she was pulled tighter into Tobey; mashing him into the bars!
Something had grabbed both of her ankles and had pulled her legs through the bars past her knees, she screamed and tried to push against the bars to get away. Tobey had her right against him, he would have been embarrassed and thrilled at the same time, but he could feel the amount of force Sue was experiencing and knew this was totally against her will. He put his arm in his lap across his stomach and turned to see what was going on behind him.
The Shape Shifter had sneaked up on them! He was still ten feet away but had had elongated arms, hands wrapped around Sue's ankles pulling on her.
"Stop it! Let her go!" he cried and looked back at Sue. Pain evident on her face. Two more 'arms' appeared on the shape shifter and got longer very quickly. These tentacle-like arms went behind Sue's back and pulled her upper body into Tobey too. They both cried out with fear as her body pressed his hard against the bars with his injured arm stuck in between them.
They both pulled at the second, thinner set of black tentacles and she dug her fingernails in trying to make the Shifter release her. She growled, angry, but at the same time thought her legs would be pulled off!
"Ow – I'm sorry Tobey!"
"It's not you - it's him!" Tobey turned the little bit he still could with Sue's body crushing him. The Shifter was laughing. My master will enjoy seeing you two like this!"
"Aaahnnn!" She cried out and her hands fell away from the tentacles to hang limply at her sides.
"Hang on Sue!" and held his uninjured hand out toward the Shifter. He growled, "Gei Kow No!" and tensed his hand and arm. A flame ignited in his palm, but sparked and went out right away. He frowned and tried again.
"GEI KOW NO!" a strong flame popped into existence over his palm and he threw it at the Shifter's body. Kong Li's staff came out of no where and intercepted his flame, with a poof – it went out.
"Let them go - you've had your fun." Kong Li instructed the Shifter.
"Yes master."
He let go and retracted his four arms, two of them disappeared completely. Tobey put his arms around Sue and hugged her. She hung limply in his arms as he scooted back to the middle of the cage. He moved away from her only far enough to get her legs both on one side of his body and turned her so he could hold her in his arms across his lap.
"Thanks Tobey." Sue seemed weak, but smiled, "At least I am warmer now, you?"
Tobey smiled at her even with their enemy watching, "Oh yes, much warmer." Then he glared at Kong Li as he stooped down to see them under the solid top of the cage.
Kong Li looked at the two. "Oh now this IS disgusting. I had no idea you two were so close. Does Sid approve? I doubt that he thinks Tobey is good enough for you, his sister. If you haven't already – I think you shouldn't tell him."
"Shut up – you're just j-jealous because no one likes you, L-Loser! When was the last time anyone kissed you?" Tobey was a little off, but still tried to make him mad with an insult.
Kong Li acted like he didn't hear Tobey. "If you tell Sid he might be very upset. Oh! Hehehe, what am I talking about? You two won't ever see Sid or your Nana again. You won't live that long even after I get the cookbook." He turned away and motioned to the Shape Shifter like he wanted him closer to the cage. Tobey cringed afraid of what was coming. He turned to face Kong Li as he walked around, holding Sue tightly.
Sue mumbled, "What's going on?"
"I don't know. Are you hurt?"
"My legs hurt, it feels like he pulled my hips out of their sockets, but I don't think really – just hurts a bit – I will be okay."
Tobey couldn't hold Sue up completely off the floor anymore, his arm throbbed. He rested more of her light frame on his lap and held her head so her face was in his neck. "I will do everything I can to protect you Sue!"
"And I, you Tobey!"
Tobey kissed the top of her head. While they were focused on each other for a moment Kong Li and the Shifter were very busy outside the cage.
The Shifter put a flattened limb under the edge of the cage and enlarged it like a balloon, lifting the cage off the floor. Kong Li put wheels under each corner and they went to the other end and did the same thing. Kong Li pushed the cage with four wheels under it out of the dim light and through a large opening.
This room was very dark, but Kong Li seemed to know where he was going. They went through a door and into a narrow hallway and lights came on! They saw the hallway they were traveling down was barely wide enough for the cage to fit and there were no doors except for double doors at the very end.
Kong Li rammed the doors with the cage and they found themselves in darkness again. The front wheels went down and the bottom of the cage banged. Sue screamed and held onto Tobey. They hit again and again, soon the whole cage was at a steep angle bouncing roughly down what must have been stairs. Tobey fell and banged his head on the bars but never let go of Sue as they continued to be tossed around. He kept her head against his chest to keep her from getting hurt on the rough way down.
The cage came to rest, still at an angle with Tobey on his back and Sue on top of him. She hurried and rolled off, "Tobey?"
"I'm okay." She helped him sit up.
They could hear Kong Li coming down the stairs after them. The cage was pushed the rest of the way off the stairs and into a room. Kong Li closed the door before turning on a light. The shape shifter came under the door and appeared as a humanoid standing behind Kong Li.
Tobey and Sue looked around. There were hundreds of things that looked like white tennis balls, only furrier lying all around them on the floor; piled up in the corners and along the wall. On the ceiling and high on the walls were globs of green goo that had red eyes opening and closing at random intervals already staring at the two in the cage.
"What is this Kong Loser?"
"This is the delicious ending I have set up for you. These are spider eggs of my own invention. I made them nastier just for you two! When they hatch they will have powerful jaws that will rip you two apart.
"How will doing this get you the cookbook? You jerk."
"Simpleton; the Gen Jo Tai recipe will ensure that Mei Hua and Sid can watch your suffering and impending doom through the green glob's eyes. I am sure it will help her decide whether or not to bring me the cookbook. Of course I will not meet her here. I will meet Mei Hua in another warehouse and let her search that building for you to keep them busy while I escape Chinatown with the cookbook."
"That will be the day – even if you manage to get rid of us, you will never beat Nana and Sid!"
"By New Years Day I will be back to conquer Chinatown, capture your Nana and and kill Sid so he can join you two in the afterlife!"
Kong Li picked up the pot with the recipe in it. The pot and recipe was the receptor for the bug-eyed spying goo so it could be delivered to Mei Hua.
"I will leave the lights on so you can see the spiders ripping the flesh from your bones. See you later, ha - not really."
Tobey winced and laid back, arms out to his sides. Sue scooted over to him. "Tobey, we have to find a way out of here."
"I know, I will – in a minute, my arm really hurts. It will pass and I will get us out of here, since I am the bravest and strongest and . . . "
Tobey closed his eyes and frowned. His breathing very fast.
"Tobey? What's happening?"
"It hurts – feels like its on fire."
"I can tell that." Sue saw Tobey's skin was red above the edge of the splint. She started pulling the velcro off. "Ow, what are you doing?"
"I want to see your wound."
"Ew no, even I don't want to see it."
Sue frowned at him, "Then look away."
Around his wound was very red, and there were red streaks going up his arm.
"Oh Tobey, looks like a bad infection. Remember when Sid's finger swelled up and got all red up his arm after that alley cat bit him? Only your arm looks worse!"
"Oh well, I hope I give a few spider's an infection and they die after they eat me."
"Tobey! Don't talk like that! We will get out of this and save Nana and Sid – and all of Chinatown like we always do right?"
"Um . . . right. But my arm hurts and I'm so tired."
"I'm tired too, but we will do this!" Sue closed the sides of the splint back around Tobey's arm and fastened the velcro. Tobey gritted his teeth and made a fist.
"Your right. I'm not gonna let a bunch of tiny - toothy spiders hurt you Sue. I will get you out of here, even if I can't make it!"
"Stop talking like that-you will make it too Tobey! There is no way I would leave you!" Sue hugged him tightly. He patted her back.
Tobey looked past her shoulder and saw several of the large 'eggs' seemed to be rolling around on their own. "Oh yuck, that's not good."

Tobey continued . . .
