Chapter 33
Voices
Casey Jones wanted to bang his head on the wall, as April talked into the phone, explaining," We came back after we saw the TV report, and Sybil was gone. Their house looks like it was broken into, so it appears Bishop took her."
Mars stiffened as he saw Mikey's eyes widen with shock and the sea-turtle growled, "What is it? Is Sybil alright?"
Mikey nodded once in response to something that was said over the phone before setting the phone down, "Dudes, Sybil is gone. April and Casey-"
Mars had already got up to his feet and was walking away, moving surprisingly fast with his sprained ankle.
Donatello stopped him," Dude, you don't even know where to start looking! Calm down and we'll-"
Mars snapped," HOW can you tell me to be calm? She's my Eve, the reason I have gone on living for so long! I am not going to sit here and wait while she's in danger!"
Leonardo responded, his voice thick," We'll find her, Mars, I swear it."
Mars turned to him, grey eyes smoldering," Even if you do not, Leonardo, I will."
Horatio spoke up," Let me try to get Sybil's parents on the phone one last time, eh? Perhaps we can pick up a clue or two as to where bishop is located at from there."
Mars looked down at his bum leg and growled in irritation. Fine night to be lame…
Sybil and Mara were thrown into the truck. A shock collar was around Sybil's neck, so any time she tried to open her mouth, it would shock her, in order to keep her from singing, and using her sirenic powers against her captors.
Mara groaned softly, as she sat back," nice… now what do we do? Don't answer that," she added, looking at the collar.
Sybil was frustrated as well. She heard the van start and felt movement… but she couldn't tell where they were going.
She could only pray.
With a sigh, she closed her eyes, thinking of mars, desperately, she thought," Mars… please rescue me. I know if anyone can do it, it's you. Please…."
Please…
Mars shook his head, mumbling," Eh, what's that? Who's talking to me?"
Raph gave him a look, "dude, you need some sleep? No one's talking to you."
Mars growled," \I heard someone speak to me!"
Leo stared at him," I think you need sleep."
Mars sighed in frustration," Maybe… cause it sounded like Sybil."
He leaned back on the couch as the others worked to find out Bishop's possible locations, and thought," My eve, where are you?"
My eve, where are you?
Sybil bolted upright, almost speaking aloud. She had heard Mars' voice, loud nad clear.
Tentatively, she thought," Mars? Can you… can you hear me? Please, please answer me."
Mars bolted upright, with a growl," Whoever is doing that, it's not funny!"
Raphael snapped," Would you stop messing around with us, lame-brain? We're trying to help you-"
Nerissa interrupted," what is it, Mars?"
Mars responded," I hear Sybil's voice. None of you can hear it? If this is a joke, I'll-"
"You'll what, loverboy?" Andromeda snapped," We're not messing around anymore then you are!"
Leo now spoke," Is it… is it possible that… you can hear her thoughts?"
Mars looked troubled," I don't know…" Sybil, can you hear me?"
"Yes! I can hear you! Mars, I'm so scared, please rescue us!"
"Hold on, love, we're working on it. Where are you?"
"In a van… I don't know where they're taking us. My sister is with me. They have a shock collar around my neck so I can't speak. Mars, I'm so sorry, I-"
"I swear, Sybil, I will rescue you, or die trying. I'll get back to you in a moment, ok?"
"Ok…"
Mars opened his eyes," Somehow, I can hear her thoughts… and she can hear mine."
"Where is she?" Don asked, sticking to the crisis at hand.
"She says they put her and her sister in a van and she doesn't know where they are going."
"Ask her if she smells anything unusual, if she noticed anything about the van, it's color or make." Leo told him.
Mars did so.
"The van is white, and there were no symbols that I noticed. I… I thought I smelled the sea, a little while ago. We might be near the coast."
"We're coming, Sybil." Mars relayed the message.
