They next day followed, the weather coinciding with the atmosphere of last nights unfortunate turn of events. A gloomy morning, the fog consuming most of the cities streets, making it considerably difficult to see even a few steps ahead of oneself. Genji had left early into the ghostly fog, his destination to stakeout the library. Previously, he had researched a bit more information about the doctor himself, and had a rather liable guess on how the man appeared. He left a single note for Mercy to later read when up and about.

I will be out for a bit.

Stay put till I return.

Genji

By the time Mercy had arose from her slumber Genji was far long gone. Mercy crumbled up the piece of paper in hand; in much consideration to leave and find the man on her stakeout. Not that it had mattered who's it was, rather that they should have been in this together. Afterall, till this point no matter how hard it seemed to get at one point or another Genji never left the naive girl alone. It hurt knowing his actions had reflected the outcome of last nights events. Half of her wished the alcohol had blacked out her memory, but she remembered each detail as if it was repeating itself in front of her; it only made the blonde cringe more the longer she thought about it. She pushed out everything from last night focusing on the now. Before she knew it she was dressed and running out the front door to hopefully meet up with Genji before anything serious had occurred.

After a momentarily trip she had arrived at the library, at first Genji was not in sight. Knowing Mercy she thought the worst at first, until Genji's figure had became clear in her vision; he was sitting isolated at a back table in the library. His nose stuck in the omincs book Doctor Junkenstein had wrote himself. Genji had not noticed Mercy's present, when he had he seemed more angered than pleased to see her.

"What are you doing here?" Genji whispered.

Mercy at first didn't respond, stationing herself next to him, she took his book in hand glimpsing over the pages that he was reading. After a quick read, it wasn't much different than her own theory besides that it had some important missing parts to the story. Hitting her like a ton of bricks, this would give the Junkenstein the motive to go after Mercy. If Mercy had the missing puzzle piece's to place into his theory it would make sense why he would be after her.

"This has a similar feel to your own work, which is probably what you're thinking," Genji crossed his arms, sitting himself more comfortably in the chair. "I won't comment why you're here because it's too late. You should know I left you at home because it's dangerous."

Mercy scrunched her nose, knowing full well she had been caught. Although Genji wasn't yelling at her she could sense the displeasing tone in his voice.

"Moving on, it only puts more suspicion on this Junkenstein fellow, but I've already been here an hour and he hasn't shown his face. So I can't say if we will get anymore out of this..." Genji sighed to himself, as to be putting more blame on himself than needed.

"Genji..." Mercy took a solid breath, preparing herself for the boiling tension between the two. She knew it would be too much of an awkward question to ask, but it was eating her alive she could hardly think as it implanted itself in her brain. "About last night..." Mercy was quiet, still uncertain if this was the time or place to ask about it. Still, she knew Genji had heard her and for a second she thought he would get up and leave, but to her surprise he smiled. Genji seem to be in his own thought before responding,"let's move on from last night, you had a few too many drinks afterall. I know you're just stressed about this mess at the moment."

Mercy was completely brushed off, not only did Genji throw and rebut a response from Mercy, but all in the same sentence he denied her and made it seemed like he cared for her. Surely he had experience of breaking someone heart while still thinking they had a chance.

"Playboy..." Mercy murmured to herself.

For now Mercy would play along with his charismatic character, she had no choice after-all from that type of response. It's not like she was asking for him to be her boyfriend. She figured it was the exact opposite, she just wanted some clearance on their relationship and somehow his answer only confused her more than helped.

"Did you say something?" Genji quickly asked and Mercy shook her head in her own defense. She had left it at that, knowing full well Genji wouldn't be bringing up the topic himself. The two sat for awhile more, Mercy occupied herself in a romantic novel that she had found in a near by self. Genji himself was reading the omnics book; after a couple more hours and the coming and going of people throughout the library it seemed it would hopeless to continue to stay. Then again, what if they had left and someone of certain would have come through without their knowledge.

"This is taking a lot longer than I thought, I'll be right back, seriously stay here this time Mercy." Genji glared at Mercy to make sure this time she saw how serious he was about this. Mercy nodded and he left shortly after getting reassurance from her.

It wasn't long before Mercy felt the return of a present, at first she mistook it for Genji. As soon as she felt the damp cloth brush against her face, she had the realization this was the threat they thought they were to catch today. A hundred things ran through her mind; she knew of this smell from her work as a doctor. This strong pleasant scent, it tasted rather sweet as some of it rubbed against her lips, chloroform. The rest had became a fastened blur, and finally she was out cold.

Mercy coming to her sense, she knew she was in a fast pace moving vehicle as her restrained body was forced about with every stop and sudden turn. Completely submerged in darkness, the space she was confident to was rather small for a body. "Am I in a trunk?" She muffled, a gag preventing her from speaking clearly or rather screaming. She knocked about in the small space, but she knew it would be a useless attempt. She just wanted to know how they got her in the car without someone noticing, where was Genji afterall? By this time he would have to be on his way to her rescue. She felt fear more than anything for the uncertainty of what these people might do to her.

She felt the car come to a sudden stop, and it was different than the red lights, and she figured they were at their destination. As the trunks hood was opened, Mercy was consumed in brightness, her eyes just adjusting from being in the dark for so long. She blinked rapidly, struggling to squinting in hopes to recognize the figures who pulled her out. Her gags was ripped off, and they threw her onto the floor.

"What are you going to do with me?" Mercy begged the men.

They halted to speak, they all just stood in silence,"quiet bitch, the doctor will decide what he wants to do with you."

"Doctor...?" Mercy asked herself and sure enough the man of the hour stepped out from a build. When Mercy took the moment to look around she had notice the uncanny place she was taken. There was a singular building in site, with a singular road connecting to it. Being in the middle of nowhere only frightened her from, wondering how Genji would be able to find in her in a place like this. The sinister looking doctor as the man had called him, his back slightly hunched; fully dreaded white hair she knew it was Junkenstein only if she had met him in meetings; nobody could forget a face like his.

"Doctor Zielger..."His words rolled off his tongue in a hiss, letting chills run down Mercy's spin.

"I know why you want me, but my research is incomplete so this attempt at me to help you is pointless."

Junkenstein seemed to want to laugh but he held it in walking over to Mercy who was still tied up on the ground. He bent over peering directly into her eyes, he gave a lawfully scary grin,"Oh miss Ziegler you stupid girl. Then what do we have here?" There was a pause and Junkenstein nodded to one of the men, nothing was said about, but the trunk to the second car that was trailing behind the first was opened. Mercy was in shock as Genji was too tossed to the floor as she was.

"I at first would have agreed to your statement, but this man says otherwise~ Oh goodie, you're even to shocked to speak up now?" Junkenstein fiddled his fingers together and walked over to the restrained Genji,"He's awake, but we gave him a powerful dose so he won't be moving for awhile now. He will be the perfect test subject to help me in my research."

"What!? What does that mean-" Mercy was then gagged once again, refrained from speaking any more nonsense.

"Oh and Doctor Ziegler you'll be helping me in opening him up~" There was a metallic laugh from Junkenstein and it seemed the two were the ones caught in the stakeout.
