Chapter 2:
"No, Mom!" Zak cried. Doc wrapped his arms around his son. And looked up at the sunlight high above, all he could think was 'How could this have happened.' He and Drew had been through things much worse than this, they had survived hundreds of Cryptids, and gotten through finding out Zak was Kur, how could she die now?
"How?" Doc croaked.
"I don't know" said Beeman "There is nothing that indicates any injury." He told them, completely baffled.
Zak broke away from his father's embrace. He reached out and grabbed his mom's lifeless hand. Tears were streaming down his face.
"Mom, please don't leave us." he whispered, he sounded so hopeless, so broken.
"Kid, I'm sorry, but she's gone." said Dr. Beeman. Doc's glare just screamed could-you-be-anymore-insensitive. Doc looked at his wife's face. She looked so beautiful, so at peace. Why did this happen to them. Zak needed his mother and Doc needed his wife. Doc could actually feel his heart breaking into a million pieces. Why did their lives keep getting worse and worse? Couldn't someone give them a break for once! They all just sat there for a few minutes, unsure of what they should do, how to handle the situation.
Drew's eyes snapped open.
"Drew!" Doc yelped. Drew squeezed Zak's hand lightly.
"What's wrong kiddo?" she asked. Zak's head snapped up.
"Mom!" yelled Zak smothering his mom in a huge bear hug, she happily returned the hug.
"B-but your heart stopped, you were dead." said Dr. Beeman trying, and failing, to think up an explanation. Drew slowly sat up, and looked around at the concerned faces of the secret scientists surrounding her.
"Well, well, well" They all looked over to see Argost, standing, no trace of the laser wound he'd suffered only minutes before.
"Argost!" yelled Doc clenching his fists.
"Ta-ta for now. I believe you have a lot of explaining to do. I will see you again soon, Drew." Argost threw down a little black ball, and it exploded, filling the room with a thick gray smoke. It cleared a few seconds later, and Argost was gone.
They all looked back at Drew, who had buried her head in her hands.
"Drew?" asked Doc.
I'm sorry that this chapter was so short but the next chapter is one of my favorites. It will start to answer a lot of questions that you probably have.
