King sat there with Pax. He had given a smile to Colby but now it was a waiting game. Either for dinner to finish, Pax to wake, or Colby to call.

Time seemed to tick by slowly. The timer for the oven went off, alerting King that dinner was finished. Pax woke up when the timer went off, yawning softly before looking around and looking at King. "Dinner?" He mumbles curiously.

"Yes, dinner," King responded going to stand. He kept one eye on Pax as he made his way to the kitchen and he motioned for Pax to follow, "Come on over."

Pax looks around. "Where's Colby?" He asks softly, stretching a little bit as he inhaled slowly. He let out a soft groan before following after King.

"Work finally called," King responded a bit grimly. He didn't like calling it that, but that's probably what it was to Pax, "Had to go immediately."

Pax blinked a few times before nodding. "I hope he's back soon… I'm not sure why his company would call him in this late though…" He mumbles thoughtfully.

"I don't know why either," King ran his hand through his hair. He had taken the dinner out of wherever it had been and found the plates, "But he had to leave and asked me to keep an eye on you. Since you have some record of being a troublemaker."

Pax looks up at the other before smiling a little. "Me? A troublemaker? No sir I'm an innocent angel." He teases lightly, digging into his food.

King lightly chuckled as he looked at Pax with a side smile. He grabbed his own plate of food and covered up the rest with hopes that Colby would be back later, “Of course you are.”

Pax ate quietly, humming in satisfaction. "This is really yummy…" he says after a moment. He glances over at King. "Do you want to watch a movie after dinner?"

"Sure," King agreed with a little smile. He finished up his meal and checked his phone quickly, "Have a movie in mind?"

"Not really, but I'm sure there's something." He hummed happily as he wandered through the movies and disks. Kings phone started to go off.

"I got to take this really quick," King called out to Pax as he stayed in the kitchen where he could see Pax. He quickly picked his phone up and answered the call without looking at the ID, "Where are you?"

Pax nods before settling onto the couch and snuggling into a blanket.

Colby gasped and shuddered as he tried to stem the blood flow as the scarlet liquid dripped from his stomach. "Abandoned factory, about forty-five minutes from the house… East bound." He coughed and groaned. "King I- I don't think I- Tell Pax I'm sorry… You- please… Please keep him safe…" He whispered. He was crying by now, the pain to much, the puddle of blood slowly growing.

"Like hell you won't. I'm coming right now," King had started to grab for his gear the moment he had heard Colby's voice. He was being careful about keeping an eye on Pax while also staying out of sight. He got to the door just as he put his hair into the low pony tail and called out to Pax, "I have to head out for a bit. Don't let anyone in got it? I'll see you later."

With that he left and placed one of his yellow crystals creating a barrier of electricity around the house. It was fairly unnoticeable, but his eyes widened a little before shaking his head and turning away. The factory was a ways away but he could make it in time. He had to.

He chuckled weakly into the phone. "We'll… We'll see about that yeah?" He mutters softly, fighting to stay awake. He looked around. "Please be careful… I don't know if they're gone." He whispered. Everything hurt, and he just wanted to fall asleep. He didn't, in fact he refused. But, it was getting harder and harder to do so.

Pax nods, "Alright. Is… everything okay?" He asks as he sits up slowly.

King looked over at Pax, "Yeah, Everything's fine. I just got a call from a family member and I need to head over to there place. That's all Pax."

He put the phone back up to his ear and found his motorcycle, "Just keep talking to me okay? Focus on something. I'll be there soon."

King did his incredibly stupid thing of hopping on revving the engine and riding out while staying on the phone. He had made sure to buy an earpiece one time so he could listen to the music on his phone while riding and now it would have to work as a makeshift phone. He sped off in the direction of the warehouse, not caring about speed limits or anything like that.

He shuddered weakly, curling in on himself despite the pain. He was becoming cold, his eyes fighting to stay open. "Y-yeah… Alright." He whispers as he looks around the warehouse. "K-keep talking to me please." he mutters, coughing weakly. "D-do you have any plans Saturday?" He asks after a moment.

"No plans Saturday," King felt a small smirk make its way to his lips despite the severity of the situation. He looked around for a warehouse trying to spot it, "Other than ya know, helping you and Pax. What? Planning something devious that day?"

"Good… good." He mumbles, a smile twitching it's way onto his face. He laughed at that before shaking his head. "No, no… Unless you consider me asking you on a date devious." He mutters, coughing harshly. "Maybe to a drive in movie, or go somewhere…" He hissed in pain before smiling weakly as he stared up at the ceiling.

King grinned at the laugh, spotting the warehouse and making a sharp turn towards it. He was ready for a fight and had even shocked himself that he made it there that quickly. He hopped off his bike and began running into the building a red crystal in hand, "Either sounds lovely. Of course, I much rather do this in person. Where are you in the warehouse? Door hallway? Main area?"

"I'm guessing that's a yes…" He mumbles weakly. "T-top floor, main area…" He whispers before the phone fell out of his hand, his eyes slowly shutting. He could feel himself start to give in, becoming weaker and weaker. He wasn't sure what was going to happen after this, but he was scared.

"Yes, it's a yes," King responded hearing Colby's voice get weaker. He didn't spot anyone, thank god, and he used one of his cloudy crystals to jettison himself up to the top floor before rolling to prevent any injuries. He looked around before seeing Colby on the floor bleeding out. His entire body filled with rage for whoever did this before being flooded out with worry. He ran over and stopped kneeling next to Colby. He began to reach around for anything he could use to help stop the bleeding, "Hey. Hey, I'm here. You're going to be okay."

Colby's breathing was shaky and shuddering with pain. He heard someone enter but he had no strength left to move. He looked up slowly, and smiled weakly. "Hey there, King." He whispers as he tries to shift. "Glad to see you…" He mutters his eyes fluttering shut before he tried to open them again. "Glad to see a friendly face."
