Tuesday, April 27th, 50XX141Please respect copyright.PENANAyif4FfnsOS
Elliot can hear noises fading in and out, motion sickness kicking in and harsh bright lights and as quick as they came, they're gone. and feel motion sickness, bright lights.141Please respect copyright.PENANAk700LX38tO
Blinking his eyes as he opens them, taking a deep breath in, he sees his in a hospital room in a bed, the lights off.
He can vaguely make out an IV pole is beside him, inserted into his hand, someone having changed him into a gown.
Wait, what was the last thing that happened? Then rage fills him. If he ever sees Dr Kaylee V again, he is going to kill her.
So, what now? Who's missing, who's dead, who's alive? The Military must have found them.
Judging by the hospital bed his in and the IV in his hand, he made it. Am I the only one made it?
He doesn't know where to begin, he doesn't know who to call out for or where to go from here.
Then he sees a file sitting in a box attached to the bottom of his bed. Sitting up slowly to reach it, he feels a slight pulling sensation in his abdomen.
Laying back down now that he has the file, he opens it. It says he was found unconscious and bruised, trapped inside a bathroom of a hotel room, something blocked the door.
He was bought in and examined, underwent emergency surgery, but it was minor.
Surgery on what? Maybe a small part of the file is missing?
"Hey, Vincent! How's it going, got an update?"
"Uh, yeah. But how are you doing?"
"I don't want to think about my brother being dead right now. I haven't told our parents yet. Just distract me, how is Elliot, how is Maximillian?"
Vincent and one of the Twins, Adam is outside his room. Is his twin, Derrick dead? His relieved to hear Maxis is here, still alive...
But what about Kiera & Kade? No doubt Dr V is going to kill them... If she already hasn't.
Geez, looks like the raid on Dion & Gavin went way out of control. Alot of things went on that time, like some parts of the building collapsing. Was Derrick's death an accident? Or murder...
"Elliot's doing better. He went into surgery hours ago, his ribs weren't shattered, but there was one minor break, just some pretty bad bruising and uh, he is goanna need to take it easy for a while though.
His on medicine now and who knows when the guy is going to wake up. He was unconsciousness when found, and combining that with the sedation they had to give him for surgery anyway."
"Damn, but at-least it wasn't awful. It coulda been worse like what happened to Maximillian."
"Yeah, that was callous. Poor Maxis."
Maxis, where is he?! Looking across the room, he sees an empty bed, and the sheets have been neatly founded back and a heart monitor and IV blinking that they we're disconnected. Is Maxis dead?
No, he can't be! He can't be! Now he remembers, she shot him in the head...
And she took Kiera and Kade. Sitting up and swinging his feet to the floor, he prepares to run and search this place from top to bottom.
If Maxis is dead and Ellie and Jacob are gone, or even dead by now. he needs to know. He hisses in pain at the IV getting knocked and pulled out his hand.
Sprinting out the room, he feels his feet slip from underneath him, he has socks on, but they're not slip-proof ones.
He crashes to the floor, falling backwards. "Ow!" He groans. "Great, scott!" Says Vincent, kneeling down to Elliot.
"Elliot?! Elliot, can you hear me?!" Vincent panics. "They're dead aren't they? They're all dead!" He panics kicking his legs wildly and arms flailing. "Dude, stop. Please, please, please!" Vincent begs, hugging Elliot close in his lap.
"They're dead, aren't they? All of them! She said she wanted me to suffer, it's why I'm alive and they're not because I pissed off ages ago!"
"Bro, calm down, please! It's okay, you're okay!"
"I know I'm okay! But what about everyone else?!" Elliot yells, bucking to get Vincent to let go of him.
But he doesn't.
"Adam, fuck! Don't just stand there, get Medical! He is going to pull his stitches out and could full on break his ribs!" Vincent shouts as he keeps holding Elliot in place who's throwing punches weak punches. His trying not to apply firm pressure as it could hurt him.
Adam starts sprinting for help. "Let go of me, let go! Why are you doing this?" Elliot cries, tears flowing down his cheeks.
"Elliot, listen to me. You had surgery; you will pull your stitches out. I can't let you run around the place; you're trying to hurt yourself!"
"They're all dead, aren't they?! I haven't got anyone left! Allie is dead, I don't have a relationship with my Mum, I don't know where my Dad abandoned us, Maxis was shot in the head, Kiera and Kade we're taken. Knowing that psychopathic doctor, she will kill them!
I know it!"
"You have me! Listen to me, you have me! We can hang out! I don't hate you nearly as much as you think you did!
I act uncaring and unsympathetic and seem like a straight up asshole at times, but that's because I hide my emotions Elliot and no one actually invites me to hang out, even if it's for something as simple as pizza on the General's team!"
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because I want to help you, and I want to be there for you. You're not alone.
There is still me, there is still the General, your Mum does want a relationship with you, Elliot and there are other people in the Military who can be your friend.
There is around 9 billion people on Earth. That's alot of people, you're not alone in this, you're not alone in what you're going through. Now, please.
Stop fighting, stop hurting yourself, stop running. You have done that many times in the past, doesn't it get old?"
Elliot gasps for air and stops fighting, going limp in Vincent's arms. "Hey, bud. There we go, it's going to be okay, I promise.
We can talk and work something out. The General can join us, maybe we could all do it over a slice of pizza?
What do you say? What's your favourite pizza?"
"H-Hawaiian."
"Oh, you're one of those."
"Asshole."
"I'm joking."
"Ouch."
"Does it hurt?"
"It hurts to breathe a bit."
"That's probably because you've tensed up and strained your whole body. We need to get you back into bed and more pain meds into you."
Elliot can hear the occlusion alarm going off from his room. "Do you think you can stand up? But gently buddy?" Vincent asks, trying to stand with Elliot.
"Agh, no. Nope, it hurts too bad."
"Okay, we don't need help to move you till backup arrives."
Soon enough help arrives, and Elliot is placed back into bed and hooked back up to his IV. "Hey, so, buddy.
I just made just a phone call; a Hawaiian pizza is on its way. About 20 minutes." Vincent says, laying beside Elliot on his bed, arm wrapped around his shoulder.
"Yum, beats crappy food made in batches. I can go back to a normal diet.
I lost a ton of weight before Dion & Gavin from being on the run when I had Hanahaki."
"Yeah, you did. But don't worry, you'll put it back on, I promise-"
"Vincent Lopez!"
"Eeh!" He screams, falling off Elliot's bed to the floor. He was startled. "Vince, are you okay?" Elliot says, unable to sit up at the moment to check.
"I'm fine." He says, an arm raised in the air, and pulls himself up using the edge of Elliot's bed. General Peterson has walked into the room.
"I was coming to check on you, Elliot. Glad to see you're awake. I heard you had a panic attack or something when you woke up? Do you want to tell me what happened?"
Elliot opens his mouth to speak, but nothing comes out. He looks to Vincent.
"Do you want me to talk for you?"
Elliot nods his head. "Okay." He responds. "General, Elliot is feeling worried from what I understand about right now. He is worried that Maxis, Kiera and someone name Made and if they are all dead. I don't know who Kade is?"
"Oh, we know who Kade Beckett is, Vincent. There will be a debrief meeting later, I suggest you attend, that will bring you and others up to speed.
For now, do you think you could leave? I would like a moment alone with Elliot here."
"Of course. Hang in there, bud. I'll be right back, I'll go get that pizza I ordered." Vincent says, moonwalking out the room which makes Elliot smile a little.
"Ah, pizza. Bet you can't wait to savour that, hey?"
"Yes, General. It's probably going to taste the like most amazing thing ever."
"Well, I hope you enjoy it. I would say you deserve it, even though you joined the undercover team despite my orders... Now, I wanted to talk to you."
"About?"
"There is three things. One, your Mum has been in touch. She knows you're in the Hospital and came in through A&E.
She wants to see you. You can say no, but I can't stop her sending flowers via a courier or anything like that. She is still going to try to reach out."
"I'll think about it."
"Okay, no pressure, son."
"What we're the other two things?"
"Very few people are actually dead. The casualties we had we're about 10% of staff from the place you we're being held. Very few are dead, all prisoners made it out alive and only one of our own is actually dead.
And... Gavin and Dion are dead. We discovered their bodies..."
"What? How did they die?"
"We don't know yet... We know their causes of death, but not who did it. We've got a pretty good idea who is at the centre of this chaos though and responsible for alot of things, she'll have to answer to when we track her down.
I've already got people on tracing her where abouts."
"Who?"
"A Doctor who you ran into who is following you around a bit. Dr V as you know her. Her full name is Kaylee Vaughn. Previously known as... Kaylee Beckett. She changed her last name later on to Vaughn for a reason I do not know.
I actually went to the same university as her. I do not remember ever actually engaging with her on a friend basis.
Guess we never talked otherwise."
"So, you know her?"
"In a way, yes, but we don't know why she's behaving erratically and what's she going to great lengths for yet entirely.
I did talk to a Judge though, talk to the Department of Family & Children Services for the U.S and Canada.
Maxis as well, but not for long as he had to go into surgery."
"Maxis is alive?"
"My son is, yes. He told me he confessed the truth to you. I adopted him, but he is my son none the less regardless of the fact we don't share the same blood."
"So, what did you find about Dr V?"
"She dropped a week-old Kiera Bailey off on the doorsteps of an orphanage in Canada and dropped off a little over a day old Kade Beckett, three years later at a Baby Safe Box at a Fire station here in the U.S.
She's their mother, Elliot. She was never pursued by either country as she gave them up the right way and didn't hurt them."
He nods softly. "Now, Maxis. He is alive, Elliot. He was shot in the head, but it entered on a angle and avoided the most important parts of the brain.
It went clear through too. There is going to be some intensive rehab and medical help required, but his alive. We won't know the extent of his injury till he wakes up again and we see how he functions.
Luckily Dr V doesn't know how to use a gun it seems. Amateur."
"You said he had surgery?"
"He did, just like you. But this was for his brain while yours we're for you're ribs. His on his way back here now to this room infact."
"And what about Kiera and Kade?"
"We're tracking her down, okay? We won't know how they are till we find her. If I had to take a wild guess, there is something going on for Dr V, a personal psychiatric problem that requires mental health treatment.
Likely she's been sick for years and doesn't realize. She probably wants her kids back, even though they are far from kids, let alone hers at this point."
"Do you think she will hurt them?"
"I don't know, but based on what we've seen, she is angry at everyone else around her and clearly lashes out when provoked or confronted in some way, has a temper. When you first met, Kade Beckett.
What happened exactly?"
"He was restrained in the back of her van. Had been there for hours, he said kidnapped him. He had wrist bruises from padded restraints and a few injections sights, but otherwise he looked healthy.
She had given him a water bottle."
"Alright, I got it. She kidnaps and uses force, but she's not completely heartless if she attends to one's basic needs.
Based on what I'm hearing and what we know so far, we're wondering if she is a sociopath. All her actions fit the criteria."
"Do you think she loves Kiera and Kade?"
"I don't know, but I highly doubt it. Sociopaths can be charismatic, charming, and flattering, and so forth, but once they reach their end goal, any 'love' or 'feelings' they have erode and disappear once the individual's needs have been met.
This is likely how she's evaded being prosecuted for anything for all these years if no one around her realizes the danger she poses to others and perhaps herself.
She'll get what she wants likely from Kade and Kiera and when that runs out or they reject her obviously, she'll turn on them and her true colours will begin to show.
As for if she will hurt them, emotionally or physically like kill them or do worse than drugging and restraining, who knows. But I hope she does not resort to more severe, violent means when she realizes she won't get what she wants.
Now, I have a question for you. I know that justice is important to you, but it sometimes it seems like you're acting on revenge instead when someone hurts you.
There is a right way and a wrong way to do things. And we're going to do this the right way. When we find Kaylee, I am going to send in a team to try and extract Kiera and Kade safely.
If you heal from your injuries in time, would you want to be part of that team? But if you do join, you need to listen to me, understood?"
"I'll think about it."
"Alright, you rest up for now, Elliot. Get stronger soon.
And the General turns to leave. "General."
"Yes, Elliot?"
"I want my Mum."
"I'll give her a ring for you and let her know you want to see her."
"Thank you."
"Get some rest while you can, Elliot. The future going forward now isn't going to be easy. Not for you, or alot of people."
---
Dr V pulls her van up to an Air BNB she's renting. Pressing the remote for the garage, the door opens and she drives in, shutting it with the same remote.
"Alright, we're here, Kiera." She says, climbing out the driver's seat and walks around to the passenger seat, pulling open the door.
She reaches a hand towards Kiera. "No, no, don't touch me, please!" Kiera says, squirming, but her limbs feel weak and floppy. "Don't resist." V says.
"What do you want with me?" She says, trying to move away from V.
"Come inside with me and we can talk about it, Kiera."
"No, I'm staying in the van."
"We drove hours, Kiera and I kept topping up your sedative levels. It's literally 10 p.m. You can't stay in this van, you'll freeze.
It's much warm insider."
"No, I don't want to go with you."
"Kiera, you will come inside. You're not staying in this van." And she tugs hard on Kiera arms, her practically tumbling out of the van. But V does catch her.
V picks her up, tossing her over her shoulder and she hangs there limply as V walks around to the back doors of the van with her.
Unlocking it and pulling it open, a shivering Kade is curled up in a ball in the corner, a pair of handcuffs attaching him to something. "Kade, it's time. We done driving for the day. It's 10 p.m. and dark out." She says, climbing in and undoes he cuffs.
"What do you want with us, Dr V. I don't understand. I barely know you.
"Get out of the van and come inside, and I can explain to you and Kiera.
"....."
"Don't me ask again or I won't be so nice the second time I ask."
"Okay, okay. I'm coming." Kade says, holding his arms up as he slowly climbs out of the van after V stepped back outside.
His wobbly on his feet when V grasps his arm, dragging him to a door leading inside the secure location she drove to while carrying Kiera over her shoulder.
She brings him downstairs to a small, cramped basement without any windows. Kiera being too weak to move, she gently places her down on the brick floor against the wall, making sure she won't fall over like a dolly.
"Right, for you now." She says, dragging Kade over to a chair, forcing him to sit down. Kade gasps a bit when she quickly fastens his wrists to the arms of the chair with nearby rope, then his ankles and wraps it around his torso for good measure.
"I'm going to trust you now. If I hear so much as a peep from you, I will come back down here do I make myself clear?" She says, pulling out a length of cloth from her pocket and hangs it on a hook off to the side, showing him want she will do it he dares say a word.
Kade can't take his eyes of it. 141Please respect copyright.PENANAN6aLiPwsQh
141Please respect copyright.PENANAJnsB390w4y
"Good boy, I'll let you get some rest now. Goodnight, my baby."
His confused and this plays over in his mind. And then she gently lifts Kiera up again, carrying her like a baby and brings her back upstairs, locking the basement door on her way.
She arrives in the kitchen and lounge room. She climbs another set of stairs to a room in the attic that is furnished.
She gently places Kiera down on the bed, tucking her in and double checks the window is locked, there are security bars on the outside.
"Goodnight, Kiera. See you in the morning too, baby." She says, rubbing a hand across her forehead and bends down to give it a gentle kiss.
Kiera doesn't recoil.
She then leaves back down the stairs, pulling the door shut behind her, locking it and heads to bed herself.141Please respect copyright.PENANA6oMUrSS1u3
