Booker didn't trust Kain, not any bit, there was something about him, it just, didn't feel right, like he was hiding something very dark.

"You done analyzing me yet?" asked the man as he walked to the very top and outside, into the rain.

"What?" asked Booker as he tried to dodge the question.

"Oh come on, I can see clearly that your cutting me up, what is he doing? Can I trust him? Is he going to stab me in the back the moment I let my guard down? What is it that he is hiding? Why are his eyes different?"

Booker couldn't believe it, he was read like a kid, and that after he put extra care into not letting anything slip through, his instincts took over and he pointed his gun at Kain.

"Put it away son, you don't want to get hurt, you need to be in top condition for your job."

Despite Kain's warning he didn't take his gun off of him, Booker moved slowly past Kain, careful not to allow the man to get any openings for him to use.

Booker watched him but nothing in the world could prepare him for what Kain did, he snapped his fingers as he sprinted to him, it was like the wind slammed against Kain as he collided into Booker, when he was right at the man he snatched the gun from him and held his arm behind him pushing up.

"I did warn you didn't I, Now look, I need you in your best condition, and if you give me a reason to then I will have to snap your arm, and that goes against what I need, so tell me, do you want to know how many bones I can break or not?"

The silence answered him and Kain let go of booker but still pointed his gun at the man.
"Look I can't do this if you're constantly watching me for any kind of trouble, trust me, after this job you'll never see me again."
Booker got up slowly, he was hurt a little but mainly his pride, Kain tossed the gun in the air in front of him slightly before grabbing the barrel itself and offering it to him.

"Deal?"

Booker saw no other choice, he needed help as well and Kain was as good as he was going to get.
"Deal, but I don't want any surprises."

Kain laughed at him before going through the box again.

"Ah so that's the sequence, come on, I've been fiddling with this thing for a few hours before you arrived."
the pair walked to the door of the lighthouse's bright light, there was three bells, each had a symbol on them, one was a scroll, one a key and one a sword.

Kain rang the bells a specific number of times, each time he did a small light glowed under the symbol's
when Kain was done a few moments of nothing passed but without warning the skies turned red as a loud blaring noise came from the heavens.

"What in the world?" asked Booker as he heard the noise repeat a few times and a new one came from behind them, from inside the lighthouse.

When it was done another set of blaring and red light came from above, after that the three bells moved down and the door opened as four chairs rose up on a metal disk.

"I guess they want us to sit in their fancy chairs." Taunted Booker, Kain was very uneasy at this but he sat down regardless.

"I hate this part."

Several metal plates rose up and bolted down around them, a voice came to them like a radio or a prerecorded voice.
Booker listened intently but restraints suddenly snapped around his arms and legs, locking him in place.
"Don't struggle, you'll only hurt yourself, these things are capable of holding down a man easily ten times stronger than you, just relax and breath deep okay."
Booker didn't like where this was going but the metal disk they were on suddenly tilted to the sides, Booker's gun fell out, but they saw massive rocket engines.

"OH NO!" the metal floor rose back up and slammed tight against the metal plates, when it did a countdown started, he immediately started to protest but Kain only closed his eyes and breathed in deep.

The entire construct shot up into the air and the mechanical voice told them how high they were.
"5000 Feet, 10000 feet, 15000 feet."
They shot up past the horrid storm clouds and Booker was awe struck at the beauty he saw through the glass hatch in front of him.

It was a city in the clouds, so marvelously made that it looked like the home of angels.

"Please land, Please land, Please land." Begged Kain quietly.

As if his wish was heard the 'rocket ship' slammed down hard onto another large metal plate, when it did it started to spiral down slowly, calmly.

Booker saw many strange writings and things that he didn't understand, religious stuff.

When the ship had stopped the metal plates detached and slid down into the ground, the restraints unlocked and they were quickly out of the chairs.

"I hate those things." Said Kain as he walked to the water on the tiles and put his hands in it.

"Where are we? Asked Booker as he looked around, it looked like some sort of chapel.
"some kind of church, I'm not much for the religious thing, I guess you could say that the way I lived sort of didn't allow it."
"alright, we aren't really in the clouds are we?"
The man nodded before taking his less shaky hands out of the water and started to walk off.
"come on, we need to get out of here, keep your questions to yourself, you do not want to found out, trust me on that."

They walked quietly through the building, it did indeed look like some kind of a church and when they reached the church there was a preacher there, delivering his word.
They tried to quietly reach him and Kain greeted him as father witting.
"ah brother Kain, I see that you still long for the feel of the ground."
"Yes father, I try but the ground is where I belong, I have returned to Columbia to help a friend of mine that wants to be freed from the Sodom below."
Booker walked to him and Kain thanked Witting for his time but when he tried to walk through to the city he was stopped.
"Kain we cannot allow your friend to enter our glorious city without being baptized."
Booker rolled his eyes and played along, Witting nearly drowned him however.
