“Well, we have to follow him! Every minute we waste, Tobias is getting deeper and deeper in trouble!” Steve hissed.
“If we follow them, I bet Ken will lead us right to him!” Megan said, clenching her fist. I would have the police on this matter, but they have no business in finding my sibling…..
"Right" said Skye, warping up to the rooftops and tracking the two bullies. "Stay back with Rio,"
“If you insist…” Steve said.
But within a few minutes, the two of them grew extremely anxious, their minds filling with all sorts of what-ifs and that kind of thing.
Megan frowned. I just want him back….
"You two need to cool it" said Rio, "now come on" he led them calmly down the street.
“Well it’s hard to do that when your beloved brother is in danger!” Megan hissed, her throat becoming sore with sadness. Honestly I should be at home…. this isn’t really a job for me if I’m gonna keep being like this.
“It’s okay, we’re gonna find him and finally put Ken in his place,” Steve told her reassuringly. There has to be some hope in this issue…. But what does that other man want with Tobias???
"Try being me.." said Rio in a low tone. "Both of my brothers are in danger right now.. and my baby brother could be dying…" he said it as he kept walking, leading them in Skye's wake.
“That’s where we run into a rut,” Steve gritted his teeth. “There’s this problem where we need to get you and Skye back to where you belong, but we’ve prolonged it for some time that it’s taking a toll on all of us.”
Megan nodded, rubbing her eyes and yawning. “Unfortunately…. I’m not sure how long I can be out here since I have another day of work tomorrow…”
"I would think that Tobias is a little more important than work" said Rio, "Besides this may just come to a head soon enough"
Skye watched as the two men, Ken and Marceo, came out of the building with a stretcher, it was disguised with a cloth, and they had two men with boxes of equipment. Ken soon waved the men off and got into the van, and began head towards the outskirts of town. Skye put on his top speed, and ran after them as fast as he could, barely keeping up, he also quickly read the minds of the two lackeys, "Rio!! Marceo and Ken are heading out of town, I'm not sure where they're headed, but they have Tobias with them!!" quickly read the minds of the two lackeys, "I'm following them on foot as we speak, I'll do everything I can to find out where they're headed!"
Rio froze when he heard Skye's message, "We found him!" he said turning to Megan and Steve, "But they're all headed out of town. and they have Tobias"
"What on earth does Ken want with Tobias!?" Steve growled, heading out into the street.
Megan followed. "Well, I think it would be best if we followed by car… Because it'll take forever to just go on foot…."
Rio nodded, warping them back to Megan's house, and falling to one knee with the effort. "we need to get moving, asap."
"Well of course…." Megan went through and grabbed her keys before heading right back out the door. Steve followed quickly after, shoving himself in the front passenger as Megan started the car.
(oog I is back for a little bit.)
Rio jumped in the side seat, rattling out directions from Skye.
Megan followed his directions carefully but frantically. I know I just have to trust that what he's saying is where I'm supposed to go….
She turned multiple times and drove along on a road she had no idea that was actually there. This is getting … Strange….
Rio gave out a few more directions, pausing when he was done rattling them off. "Oh awesome" he facepalmed when he saw where they where going.
Megan slowed the car way down, and they began to cruise along. "Where are we?" She muttered.
Steve got a bit agitated. "I never knew the outskirts of town were this bad… But…. Do you have any more directions?…." From wherever you're getting them? He added silently.
"No, we just keep heading down this road" said Rio, "Besides I have a pretty good idea of where they're going"
“Okay then….” Megan kept going down the road. It took some time, but when they arrived where they needed to be, she was a bit surprised. What on earth are they doing out here……?
Rio hopped out of the car, surveying the small grassy sandy coastline.
Rio have you made it? I think they're in the same lab you told us about earlier! came Skye's call.
yeah we made it, and you're right on the nose. he responded mournfully before turning to Megan and Steve.
"Right. We seem to be at the same place that creep is holding my brothers captive. So follow me and stay quiet." He headed off into the grasses.
Steve and Megan nodded silently, following Rio down the coast. Such evil people, Megan thought, wrinkling her nose and supressing oncoming tears. How could they do that to someone? To kidnap people for evil intentions? And why would Ken take Tobias? What more does he want that he doesn't already have??? She clutched her fists. I hope justice is served for Tobias after this is over.
Rio led them through the grasses, eventually stopping and motioning for silence. That done he scrambled quietly up some rocks, revealing a view of what Marceo and Ken were doing.
Skye was further up, hidden from sight on a high ledge. He could see Rio, Megan, and Steve, he could also hear what Ken and Marceo were saying.
"Alright I've shown you my prize" said Ken "Now you need to show me yours!"
"Just give me a moment" said Marceo, heading for a motorized crank, and turning it on. The crank began reeling in a rope that led down into the sea. A few moments later and a net began rising out. The contents of the net, were two young men, one, looked almost exactly like Rio, and the other, who was unconscious, had a long scaled tail, that shimmered in various hues of purple.
Megan frowned. How could he do this…. How did he even get ahold of them in the first place!? Her nerves were tingling to just barge out there, going full savage on them and fighting them.
Yet she had to keep quiet and bottle up her rage. This isn't right… None of this is right!
Rio growled, angry that Alzura (The one with the scales) was being held captive like this. He forced himself to look away when he spotted Marceo's needle, "I'll kill him" he growled
furiously.
Skye kept a close watch, growling himself when he saw Marceo take the blood sample from Alzura's arm.
Rashi, (Rio's twin and the other guy in the net) Started yelling angrily, and grabbed Marceo's arm, forcing him to drop the needle. Shifting he threw Marceo into the sea, "That'll show you for messing with my brother!!"
Megan flinched when Marceo was tossed like a rag into the ocean. What the—?
Steve still kept close. “When should we advance?” He asked quietly. As much as I would like to save your relatives, I have another matter to worry about… He frowned, trying not to give his hopes up on getting Tobias back.
"Give it a moment," said Rio, creeping up to get a better view once more. Watching as Marceo clambered out of the water, spluttering.
Skye can you alert Rashi to our prescence? Alzura to if it's possible. said Rio,
Right! Skye reached out, Hey Rashi! Don't react, my name is Skye, I'm Luminero's uncle, and a friend of Rio's, We're gonna get you and Alzura out of there.
Skye waited, and heard Rashi's silent response.
Alright everyone, on the count of three we storm them! he called, One…Two… He got to a crouch, THREE! he warped down behind Ken, using magic to bind him to the wall in a surprise attack.
Rio lept up, heading straight for the water as he drew his sword.
Megan and Steve were extremely hesitant in going forward. Chaos ensued as Rio, Skye and the others fought against Ken and Marceo (?P)
Steve suddenly went forward as to break into the facility while the opponent was occupied, but Megan grasped his shoulder, turning him aound. “You can’t just go!” She hissed. “You have no idea who else might be in there!”
“But it’s worth a try!” He said, voice wavering. “Don’t you want Tobias back?”
