-Methos slowly opened his eyes. They stung. He felt a cut above his left eyebrow. His ribs hurt something awful and he could taste copper in his mouth. He looked around the dimly lit room. Concrete walls. Steel pipes. The sound of heating vents. Where was he how long had he been there? The last thing he remembered was leaving the manor and talking to Isato and Dvorsak telling them to watch the place and take care of Asha, Max, Agitha, and Katya will he was away. He remembered taking a horse to a nearby village and a train to a major city. But after that nothing. The sound of a key being placed in a door and it being opened jerked his head up- -Man- Well, it seems our esteemed guest is awake. -Woman- so it seems. –She grunted- I’ll inform the others. -She turned and walked away as the man sat himself in a chair in front of methos- -Man- well we were beginning to think that a lowly human slave wouldn’t last this long. Seems the vampire like you. We have many questions to ask you boy. -Man 2- calm down Mr. Brown -Woman- I agree Mr. Black. -Man 3- So Ms. Red who shall take charge now that he is fully awake? -Mr. Brown- why not let her take charge? Is this all? Where is everyone else? -Man 3- They are busy with the Major. –he turned on a bright light and they all sat. The woman traded places with the one known as “Brown”. -Ms. Red- What’s your name? -Methos- What does that matter? -Man 3- Answer her or this will be painful -Methos noticed he had a primitive yet painful electric system hooked up to the metal chair he was in- -Ms. Red- What’s your name? -Methos- My name is Kilgor -Ms. Red- Are you a servant of the House of Dracul? -Methos- Yes -Ms. Red- How old are you? -Methos- I don’t know. -Mr. Brown- What do you mean you don’t know? -Methos- They took me when I was little. They don’t celebrate births. -Mr. Brown- See Mr. Black, he’s just a slave. He probably doesn’t know anything. -Ms. Red- Shut up Mr. Brown. Now where do they have you stationed? -Methos I was once caretaker of the safe house in Rome until I was transferred to the one in Leipzig then was moved to Brazil. -Ms. Red- Where is the girl? -Methos- huh? What girl? -Mr. Brown stormed up and punched Methos in the face- Don’t fuck with us? The Goa’uld and the NID started that The Lord was housing an Inu and was experimenting on her to destroy us. NOW TELL US WHE... -Mr. Black- SIT DOWN…or…or I will tell the Major of this. –Brown grunted and sat down.- -Methos spat out some blood- I know of no girl. I know of a Neko boy and a morquendi…but an Inu….wouldn’t that make her werewolf? -Ms. Red stood up- Gentlemen, let’s leave him for now. The major will talk to him later. :Meanwhile: -Dvorsak threw open the doors to the communications room- Isato tell me you have good news? –He walked over and stood next to the blue eyed Japanese vampire- -Isato- I am sorry Lord Dvorsak. The Master’s signal has not been turned on. Either he does not want to be bothered or he has been discovered and is hiding. -Dvorsak slammed his fist onto a console- It has been over a month. Father…the Master has never left more than four days without checking on my fiancé, Katya and his son Max. Agitha went to the Yenosai manor in Brazil. Lestat left England and went to the New York site. And as much as I don’t trust the Morquendi… -Isato butted in- Asha -Dvorsak continued- …she went and returned form Tokyo. All have had negative sightings of Lord Methos. Where can he be? -A young pale purple eyed, white haired young lady, dressed in a simple royal blue sundress, with a thin belt of silver around her waist walked into the room.- -Young lady- My Lords. Lunch is prepared in the foyer. General Dvorsak, Mistress Katya and Master Max await you to join them. Lord Isato, Agitha will be here shortly to relieve you. –As she turned to leave Dvorsak grunted- Asha… -Asha turned and bowed- Yes General? -Dvorsak- Your training goes well. As handmaiden to my fiancé and member of the guard…you are hereby promoted to rank of lieutenant. I still do not trust you…but you have proven yourself. I will join you all shortly. –Asha bowed and left- -Isato- You know you don’t have to be so mean to the young lady. -Agitha walked in and assumed the communiqué duties.- Gentleman enjoy your lunch. -Dvorsak and Isato both dropped to one knee and placed a hand over their hearts and said in unison- Mistress Agitha welcome back. We are glad your mission went smoothly. We are saddened however that the Master has yet to be found. -Agitha did not look and just brought up different information views on the screen- Thank you boys. You are dismissed. –Isato and Dvorsak stood bowed and left the room. As they left a screen popped up and a man in his late forties appeared- -Man- This is Challis, Chicago safe house, reporting in. Intel states that several safe houses that have been destroyed by the NID claim only the human servants were taken to unknown disclosed locations. Possibility that Master was mistaken for such is 80%. Five of the vampire safe houses in America were cleansed of all non-human life. -Another screen showing a Russian female appeared- Natasha of Moscow reporting. Two of the elven camps here were burned but all escaped. Viktor is in northern Siberia investigating a possible attack on a Werewolf coven. -Agitha- Thank you Challis and Natasha. Keep up the good work. –when the two logged off, Agitha sat down and viewed a holographic representation of the Earth.- Methos where are you? |
