In the warehouse, The Mechanic paces, impatient with Zane's silence. "Where's the motherboard?!" He asked, stopping to face Zane.
Zane looks down at Dragon, who was now on the ground. "He already told you it was destroyed!" He replied before Bastion presses his gun at the left temple of Dragon's head while The Mechanic shoots out his mechanical hand to a nearby crate, breaking it apart before retracting it.
"Now, tell me where the motherboard, and I won't have Bastion blow your master's brains all over the floor. Or have Reginald over there break one of little Caelus' tiny fingers." Zane just remained silent before The Mechanic growled and turned to Reginald. "Break the left index finger!"
Reginald forces Caelus' left hand up and grabs hold of his tiny index finger as he cries from the pain. "Wait!" Zane yelled, making Reginald stop as he held the finger, close to breaking it. "Don't hurt him! Please! Do not hurt him!"
"Then tell me where the motherboard is!"
"Okay!" He sighs. "Okay... let them go!"
"Where is it?"
Zane sighs a little. "Blake has it."
"What? You're lying."
"No, I don't have it. Look." He opens a component to reveal his power source.
The Mechanic turns to Bastion. "Search it."
Bastion stands up and hands his gun to Grunin, who aims it at Dragon and flicks his tongue, while heading over to Zane and looks inside of him before turning back to The Mechanic. "Nothing, sir." He said.
"How do I contact Blake?" Zane lowers his head before raising it to explain.
At The Mechanic's base, Blake, P.I.X.A.L. and Milton were all thinking before beeping is heard. "What is that sound?" Milton asked.
"The communicator in my prosthetic." Blake replied. "Must be Zane."
Blake went to press the button. "Yo, Blake the Fake, can you hear me?" The Mechanic's voice was heard through the communicator in the prosthetic arm.
Briefly smiling that his built in communicator was working, but angered to hear the criminal's voice before raising it to speak into the hand. "Loud and clear, bitch." He spoke, feeling a little sarcastic and insulting. "Where is Zane?"
"About what I called you, that's my new nickname for you."
"Where is Zane?"
"Oh, he's a little tied up at the moment. For now, you have something I want."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Yes, you do. The motherboard. Zane said you had it."
"No, he's lying. Zane destroyed the motherboard."
"Are you sure? Because, I have something of yours."
Caelus' crying was soon heard through the communicator, making him gasp. "Don't you dare hurt Caelus!" P.I.X.A.L. was immediately shocked.
"Who's Caelus?" Milton asked.
"I won't." The Mechanic said to Blake through his communicator. "Though, the man who is holding him, Reginald Austin, he is a professional hitman. Kills people for a living, even babies. Now, the Prime Empire motherboard, I want it."
"And if I say no?" Blake asked.
"You'll be using your son's trust fund to pay for his funeral."
Blake soon sighed. "Alright."
"The old warehouse on Miller, be there in 10 minutes."
"I'll be there." Blake then lowered his prosthetic arm before heading for the door.
"Where are you going?" Milton asked.
Blake immediately stopped the moment he placed his hands on the handle. "To get my son."
"But, Blake, what if The Mechanic is lying?" P.I.X.A.L. asked.
"What?"
"Even if you give him the motherboard, he might kill Caelus."
"You heard what he said. Reginald Austin has killed babies before."
"He's probably bluffing. You need to think this through."
"Oh, so you're gonna let your nephew die? Is that what you're saying?"
"No, I think she means, we get the police to help." Milton said.
"By then, it'll be too late. Besides, if I did that, I'm putting going to the warehouse off. I won't put off till tomorrow what has to be done today. And that is giving the motherboard to The Mechanic for Caelus." Blake turns back to the door and opens it. "I guess you don't know what it's like to be a father to his own child at all." Milton gasped as Blake rushes down the street, honking heard in the process.
(A/N: I really hate to write death threats, makes me feel cruel. Also, Blake the Fake was something I thought up, and did it as a rhyme, since Mechanic didn't do it to Zane. What nicknames should I come up for Geoff and Gewuji, given their backgrounds and what they've been through?)
