Telephone

My everything hurt as I woke up on the sofa. To my surprise I woke up alone. The others were probably already off to work and they left me home, allowing me to rest. How cute of them...

So I stood up, stretching and making myself breakfast. Up to the bathroom, hopping under the shower and brushing my teeth, being off to TI.

As I walked out of the Elevator I could see Akaro already through the Lab windows, me, walking inside: "Good morning honey." "Someone had a looong sleep." "Well someone had a pretty exhausting Night..." "You're not the one who got fucked..." "Please you two, cut it off...", Flite walked in, grabbing documents and walking out again without actually looking at us. We both giggled and went back to work.

"Guess who just sent me a text..." I looked at my comm. "You too?" "Well then, let's see what happened this time."

As we went upwards towards Riptide's Office, we saw Arctic sitting on the chair and Riptide being on the Telephone, signalling us to site down: "Yes but we have no idea how. Listen, we both have to, I know but, listen I-" Riptide was seemingly about to just burst into anger: "WHO CARES WHO WE ARE FOR A SECOND AND JUST LISTEN." Shortly silence was in the room: "Thank you. So I went through the files again and again, so did hopefully you. Yes I know. Really? It doesn't exist? We had sealed it up. Abandoned teleportation research. Yes it was abandoned, too much radiation. That's why we built it 30 kilometers under the ground. We didn't directly seal it up. Some people were doing so. Yes after that contract all research regarding this was ended. The government did, we didn't. Right. Good, could you wait for a second?"

Riptide looked at Akaro and me, explaining what was going on: "I received a call from the other side, telling me I apparently called them. We also found out that Section 30 never existed in the other dimension." "That means that..." I tried to ask. "That we have an abandoned Section of which everyone thought was sealed up with concrete. Bad news is it actually is, meaning we don't really have any clues."

Riptide continued and my communicator vibrated, me picking it up it said the following: "Having fun? I have. God your boss can shout...

-X"

I smiled and put it away, attracting Akaro's attention: "What was that?" "Oh just. Heh, Sigma sent me a te-. Hang on..."

I sent Sigma a message: "Wait, how can you know that?" After a couple of seconds: "Guess who bridged the call between the worlds?" "You smart deer..." "Guess why I 'work' for them. Being smart is more important than your CV, lol."

God I hate when people write 'lol' in messages.

Rip just finished his call and began to tell us: "We're having a slight problem." "That is?" Akaro asked. "Section 30 never was used for teleportational research. That's where the old reactor was placed meaning that-" I ended his sentence: "There is a water supply, plenty of laboratories and techincally a perfect work environment."

"Yes." "But that would mean the organisation is literally beneath us but we can't go in?" "Yep." "Right."

We all had to think.

"Riptide?" "Yeah, Nick?" "What if there was actually teleportation research, but maybe it never was filed. That would explain how they use it as a base." "Well it would make sense..." "By the way, I didn't ask you. What happened when you exchanged the fake files with Gear?" Riptide blushed a bit and looked a bit ashamed.

"Arctic, you better don't listen to what I'm going to say. No, that's rubbish... Just keep in mind that it was him, not me..." "Did he stab you?!" "No, worse." "What could be worse than stabbing?" Arctic aksed. "So he just stood there, making dirty jokes and being a general dickbag, as you expect from a narrow-headed world destroying idiot." I had to giggle, that description was just too good. "So he took out a gun, told me to move slowly closer and give him the files as he..." Arctic was tense as shit: "Did he shoot you?!" "No, even worse than that. He took the files, pushed the gun into my chest and he just kind of sort of kissed me. Nothing too dramatic and-" "HE WHAT."

Akaro and I reacted the same, just not out loud.

"I'm sorry hun, but if I tried to do something he'd have shot me..." "Don't worry about that, I will kill him in person, with these hands which I forgot to wash... Oops." Akaro rolled his eyes and Riptide smiled at Arctic.

I got another message, this time from someone completely different: "I need you and Akaro in my office, ASAP.

-PM"

"Sorry Rip, Akaro and I got to go. Something more important than you, sorry." He just looked at me with a slightly shocking look: "More important than me?" "Trust me, she's way above your wage..." "What, did you get texted by the Prime Minister or what, haha." I just looked away: "As I said, we have to go."

Akaro and I walked out, he pulling my shoulder: "You know that he might find out?" "What? You know that conversation never happened. Just keep that in mind, alright?" "You're one shitty liar." "I know, c'mon!"

As we stepped, once again into the posh city hall and approached her office, Jeniffer let us in and we sat down: "Glad you could come so quickly. I have information that might be relevant to you, even if it is a bit... Worrying..."

"We have news aswell" I said. "Then you first..." She seemed worried. "We found out where the organisation is." "Those are great news!" "Problem is we don't have the technology to go there..." "What? Is it some sort of plasma fence, hyper static bubble or-" "A sealed up Section 30 kilometers beneath Tomorrow Inc." "Big drill?" "The way it was sealed up? It would break like a wooden stick..." "Your company doesn't do half things, do they?" "Not at all. And even worse: We assume the organisation uses teleportation technology to enter and leave that Section." "Didn't you built a teleporter to come into this world?" "It wasn't a teleporter it was a transdimensional... Imagine it like a drill that makes a small hole into the huge invisible wall between our worlds. A teleporter would require advanced molecular research in terms of dematerialisation and rematerialisation, which would end up in deformation of one's body if unexact numbers were used." "Anything else?" "No but you had something for us?"

"As I said, this is not a good message. And it isn't really information it's... Edward has been reported dead." "He WHAT? " Akaro and I were both shocked. "I'm sorry but he was found in an abandoned bunker after we received a message from someone who's really good at hiding who they are." "We both know who might have done it." "Foxgear. The onliest name we have. It's his tarning name, all old files were deleted." "Excuse me..."

I received another message, this time from an unknown number: "Hello sweetie. I guess you and your bulgy boyfriend are having a chit chat with the Prime Minister. You know, I love new year's eve. All the firework and especially the explosions. But have you ever seen one from close up?

-Love and kisses Gear"

I quickly looked up at the Prime Minister and at Akaro.

"We have to get out of here as quickly as possible." "What is wrong?" She was worried. "Gear planted a bomb in here, we should get going, NOW!"

Akaro grabbed my arm and we ran to the door, Jeniffer behind us as we heard a loud bang, flinging me and Akaro on the ground. I went unconscious and felt into a deep sleep...

So close but so far away...

I gained consciousness. Beneath me I felt the comfort of a bed. I had pain in so many different parts of my body, feeling like I just got shot and kicked. But I was awake. And apparently connected to some machines which kept track of my vitals and made sure I had enough fluids in my body.

There also was a mask on my face making breathing easier for me. I just looked at the ceiling and then I heard a motor, siren, felt the shaking.

I knew exactly where I was. After and I began to remember, the bomb went up. I was in an ambulance. Going back to the place where I first was after the incident.

Even though everything inside me hurt I looked forwards, towards the driver and saw something, that made me nearly go back unconscious.

Dark fur, grey skin, black and red hair. It was Carrus, just driving the ambulance like nothing happened. I looked further and saw the road. Well, to be honest, I saw nothing. There was nothing at all. It was just me, the ambulance and the white emptieness outside. I had no idea where I was.

"Where am I?" I tried to ask him. He didn't move: "Hello-ho? Can you even hear me?"

Suddenly he just looked at me with an empty and dead stare, not saying, moving or doing anything. We looked into each other's eyes as he said: "Wake up!"

The environment I saw now was very confident to me. It was the hospital, the same room by the looks of it. A person I knew for quite a while now, standing there examining his clipboard, my doppelganger Doctor Nick Sheffield.

"You're up. Good." He didn't even look at me. Was I still dreaming? No, the world seems to exist outside of the hospital, that's a good sign. "What happened?" I tried to speak as good as I could, still feeling the pain. "Well, there was a bomb and to be honest, it was quite funny watching your reaction, hehe."

Did he just say what I think he said?

"My reaction? What are you talking about?" "Well I did enjoy the show, got a bit steamy though. Don't worry, your friend's fine. I don't know about Jeniffer, but she might make it. But when we're done we won't need politicians." "Still not having a clue what you're on about..." "Really? For your IQ? I'm disappointed. Maybe we have to get rid of you. HAHA, just kidding." "Who drove the ambulance." "The same person which delivered you in here in the first place." "I know who you are now..." "You should be even more afraid." "Why that? Are you going to hit me with your clipboard?" "No. That's not my style. But I got some questions for you." "That's good for you. Why should I answer them?" "Because if I turn this knob..."

He played with the settings of one of the machines and the pain in my bones and guts increased, making me whimper a bit.

"There we go, less pain-reducing stuff for your body and more time for questions." "You're sick. You might as well just kill me..." "Why that? You're still useful. But I can hurt you until your world turns red. Now to question number one. Who is the leak?" "Which leak? Don't know what you're talking." "I'm talking about the person supplying your little team with infos. OH come on, don't look at me like _that._We know it. So who's the mole in the Organisation?" "I have no idea."

He turned the knob further, bringing more and more pain to my body, but I was still refraining from giving him any information.

"You can torture me but I won't tell you!"

I thought about screaming, but I couldn't. I could barely talk...

"Oh I know ways of making you talk. For example if I-" The door opened and a nurse walked in: "Doctor? We need your help here, could you please-" "I'm busy." "It's urgent." "Fine, anyway Nick, I'll check back later and we will have a look at the results..."

He walked away, giving me one final and evil look. He had problems. Serious problems but I had too, since I was in hospital and got tortured by my all-so evil doppelganger. Shittiest day ever...

Shit, talking about the day! How long have I been asleep?

That didn't matter now, I had to get out of here. I grabbed the railings of my bed, trying to stand up. Barely I could even sit, but I had to escape, no matter what it costs... But wait! I had another idea. I tried to look around, on me, in my drawer. Where the hell is my phone?

So I couldn't contact Riptide and every movement hurts like hell. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO SOMETHING?

I thought to myself: "Alright, gain your senses and thoughts, do not panic. Right Nick, think! So the regular telephone probably won't work. I guess they were so smart and disabled it. Shit. I could try to walk, but if I collapse... I know!"

I grabbed the remote that was hanging around and called for a nurse:

The door opened and one entered the room: "You called, what can I do for you?" "Help me to get out of here." "Good joke, but seriously. You were injured severely and have to stay in bed. If there's nothing I can do for you then-" "Come closer." "Okay..."

She came closer to me and I packed her collar, dragging her down and saying:

"Your all-so friendly Doctor Sheffield is working for a Organisation which blew the Prime Minister's Office up and I can't call my friend Riptide, Akaro or hell who because my phone's missing." She looked at me, saying: "Right. I'll get some medicine, you keep calm."

She just jogged out of the door. Great. Now they think I'm crazy. You just did a great job, Nick!

A good idea came into my mind. I just had to stay calm. After a minute or so she came back, carrying a syringe in her hand. "If you could hold still and-" "Excuse my rude introduction. I calmed down again, that was just the stress. But could you please leave the syringe here in case I feel a bit wonkey again? I know you shouldn't but I'll keep it a secret and you can take a break." "Normally I don't do that but in this case... Fine, but tell no one. If you need anything else, feel free to buzz, bye!"

She walked out again. Good, now I got a weapon. Well, a non-lethal weapon. Talking about non-lethals... Where the hell is my gun?

The door once again opened and Doctor Sheffield walked in, closing it and saying: "So, now we're alone. We have all the time now... Have you thought about the question again?"

I just sat there, making a swiping motion with my finger, signalling him to come closer. "So you have an answer?" He said. "I want to whisper it." "Okay, go on then."

I took the syringe and rammed it into his neck. He tumbled back against the wall and slid down.

My evil Doppelganger

Quickly I opened the door. Well, as quick as I was able to. I stormed out of the room and got some confused looks by some of the nurses. One of them tried to stop me but I started running. And boy that was pure pain...

Outside I managed to get into a shuttle bus and drive over to TI. I had so much to tell Riptide... But I now only noticed I still had that hospital apron on. Shit. Who cares, I have more important stuff to think about than my clothing.

I exited the bus and ran to the front entrance and up to his office, not knocking I walked in and sat down: "Uh... Nick? Aren't you supposed to rest in the hospital?"

I moved his chair aside and pushed a button on his desk, sealing the room off:

"Alright, I guess it's important?!" "Sorry Rip, there's just something very important to tell you." "Well then, since you're here now." "Right... How should I say that... You do know my Doctor Doppelganger?" "Y-yeah. What's with him?" "He's working for the organisation aswell." "What? He, what?" "The funny bit was my escape, although it didn't feel like fun at all..." "Did he do anything to you?" "Apparently they know that they got an information leak." "But you didn't tell him who it is, hopefully." "No, I just... refused." "Nick, please be honest, what happened." "He kind of twiddled on the Morphine knob and..."

He sighed, feeling with me and looking a bit depressed by that:

"At least you are here now, safe. Have you still got your gun though?" "They took it." "Don't worry, we'll get a new one. How are you feeling overall?" "My body's still aching... But there's something else." "That is?" "They got Akaro."

He didn't bring out a word. He just sat there with a shocked look:

"Remember anything else?" "Not... yet. I don't know if I can recall anything from before the explosion. Well, at least not what exactly happened then. My god my brain..." "It's alright. You have to rest now. I'll send you to the Medical Bay and increase Security. We cannot leave these actions untouched. We will do something but we just don't know how. Yet. Anyway, I'll just..." He released the lockdown and some seconds afterwards the door opened:

"Hello. Uh, I think I got some news for you..."

It was Sigma. Riptide looked at him and got up, walking towards him:

"Oh really? I got some questions..." He packed him and pushed him against the wall: "YOUR LOT IS HIDING BENEATH US THE WHOLE TIME NOW AND YOU DIDN'T SAY A WORD ABOUT THAT?"

"Whoah, calm- argh, down! I wanted to tell you..." "AFTER THEY KIDNAPPED AKARO? HUH?" "They wha-argh-t? I didn't know that!"

I had to interfere: "Alright, Rip, there's no point in showing agression now. We should calm down. And please try to not bite his head off..."

He looked at me and let go of him. We all sat down at the desk.

"Deer, talk. And be careful which words you choose." My lord Riptide was really pissed off. Understandable, though. "Right. I got a name by the way and a migraine, thank you for the... 'warm' greeting. So, yes, we are using teleportation and I couldn't tell you because I think they noticed, that someone, that someone being me, is giving out intell."

I said to Sigma: "They know it." "And how do you know that?" "Guess which crazy lunatic of your people works in the hospital and tried to squeeze info out of me." "Oh my god, what did he do? Did he hurt you?" Riptide seemed angered again, asking: "So you knew that Sheffield was in the hospital and that Nick was there?! WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?!" "EXCUSE ME THAT I FORGOT TO PULL MY 'EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE PERFECT' CARD OUT OF MY FUCKING ARSE INSTEAD OF TRYING TO HELP YOU WITHOUT GETTING MYSELF INTO TROUBLE. Fucking hell, is he always like that?" Sigma could certainly swear, wow. Anyway, I replied: "He's a shark. What did you expect? Unicorns and Pies and a 'oh, it's all alright' thing?" They both calmed down, finally.

But speaking of all the bad things. The telephone began to ring:

"Who the hell is calling now... Better be important. Yes?" "Oh hello, is this my lovely shark speaking?" Riptide put the speaker on, so we could hear everything. "I'd recognize that disgusting voice everywhere, what do you want?" "Well, for now I don't want anything, maybe a Cappuchino, but I'd like to hear who's sitting in this room with you..." "Well, me." "Don't be silly. We know what happened to our agent Sheffield. I mean, I don't really mind him being dead because of a needle that hit his main blood vessel and ripped it apart, he was disposable. But I do mind the other person being in your room." "I have no idea who you're talking about..." "What has antlers and looks so innocent and, to be honest, got a nice ass."

Gear really was sick. I had no idea how he could cope with his personality everyday. I mean, can he normally talk to people or...

"What? No, it's just me and Nick." "Look up."

What? We all looked up. Shit. It was there all the time, good old in the lamp trick. A little black device that was embedded in the ceiling light. Bad knews, he could see us, good news, it may not have a microphone inside. Bad news... We're in Tesla City and Nanotechnology is common. Plus we have top-of-the-notch software and, yeah, we're fucked.

"Smile for the camera. Anyway, ladies, as you might have found out or not we got Nick's little lover here. And thinking about it you should already know where we are, wo-hoo." "As I asked you before, Gear, what exactly do you want?"

It was just this feeling of having screwed up. You just didn't notice something and everything you worked for may have been just the opposite of what you thought worked. That feeling was inside all of us.

"I want to have your little spy. So here's the deal. We will meet at the coordinates I am sending to your PC in one week and you will bring Sigma, who I will then have some fun with and kill, and I will bring your Akaro back. You leave us alone and live your life. Two for the price of one, how does that sound?" "We'll think about it."

Riptide pressed the cancel button and a couple of seconds later the coordinates were in his inbox. We all stared at the screen. It was apparently some abandoned warehouse. What I knew was, that it just shouted the word 'Trap' into your face like nothing else. So we had one week to think about how we stop this lunatic.

Quadratic Problems

We still sat at the desk and couldn't really bring out a word. Really, not even me. But then I decided to stand up:

"Anyway, I'll go down and get my weapon back, you two try not to murder each other."

As I walked towards the door we all suddenly heard a loud beeping and following wail noise. We covered our ears and Riptide stood up, Sigma following. I said:

"What? Fire alarm? We never really had that, well, not every year." "Section 5!", said Riptide. "C'mon!"

We have specially developed elevators to resist fire. Basically some tungsten and some special ingredients painted over it. That way in case of fire we can save time.

"Hurry up!", I said while waiting for this thing to go downwards. "Yes, very helpful yelling at an elevator!", said Sigma. "Oh excuse me, but every time we actually do have a fire alarm it's not just some stove fire..." "Can't be that bad..." "You have no idea."

We stepped out and covered our nostrils with our shirts to not breathe in the carbon oxide.

"Rip?" "Yes, Nick?" "Aren't the CO2 sensor supposed to go on?" "Having the same question here, we should go and check that", said Riptide.

We walked over to a wall panel and pulled the cover off, revealing some buttons on of them being the circuit breaker for the extractor fans. Riptide activated them and in seconds the toxic mist was gone.

"Finally", I said being happy about having removed one of the most dangerous hazards here. But there still was a fire.

We saw Flite tumbling in our direction:

"Guys! My lab! It just-", he didn't end his sentence as he coughed and sat down. "Rip, stay with him, Sigma and me are going to check it." "Be careful!" As he said that we ran off in the direction Flite came from.

On the way towards his lab we saw some people passing by and as we came closer we noticed more. Some hanging lights and some debris. As we opened the door the chaos was even bigger: The glass wall was broken and the lights were hanging down, seeing a large fire on one of his builds.

"So, what are we going to do? Stare at it until it stops?", asked Sigma humerously. "We still have another Ace." "Go on then."

I walked back outside and opened the door panel with some force. Behind it was a button. A red button that could only be activated from the outside since you would otherwise do damage to yourself. Sigma stepped outside and I pushed that button in. Shortly after that the door closed, locked and we forgot something: The glass wall.

"Uh, Sigma?" "Yeah?" "We should run." "Why?" "The glass wall." "What about it..." "JUST RUN!"

We ran away from the lab as steaming noises began behind us and a cloud of ice cold Nitrogen extuingished the fire and slowly filled up the hallway. Still running we approached Riptide and Flite, grabbing the two and walking into the elevator.

Riptide asked me nervously: "Why did you two run back?" I replied: "Glass wall was broken, Nitrogen leaked out of the room." "Oh shit..." "Yes, shit indeed. Half of your equipment is frozen now Flite..." He now looked at me: "I don't care about my equipment, I care about my life..."

The door opened and the fire department walked into our direction:

"Sir? Everything alright?" Riptide said: "Work's done, you can close the Nitrogen valve and clean up down there." "Alright. Team, we can move down, you others look for injured and if someone was still down there, try to keep them alive."

They swarmed down there and we four sitted on the stairs outside the building.

Sigma dragged me over to a wall and talked with me: "So, now that my cover is blown I think that they might have done it." "But how?" "They're beneath the building, around two or three miles." "Well, that's a point right there. But why Flite's lab?" "I don't know, maybe they are trying to show off."

Our communicators buzzed and we got a newsstream in:

"Good morning Tesla City! This is your news broadcasting service. As you have noticed, there has been an attack on the prime minister, who stayed in our town regarding criminal investigations of high priorities. Today it was announced. Jeniffer Henderson officially died today in the Tesla City Hospital. We all feel sorry for her death and thus may we all have a minute of silence."

The broadcast turned off and we just stood there. So many emotions at the moment which flew through my boody like... Like fuel that keeps me on going, letting me painfully know that we have to do something to stop them.

After that minute I decided to go home. But before I left I got asked by Sigma: "Just a short question. I have nowhere to stay... So if you still have room?" "Sure. You can choose who to sleep with." "Uhh..." "In which room I mean. Sorry, I'm a bit besides myself at the moment. I just can't believe it.

Suddenly I got grabbed and he hugged me. Saying: "I'm sorry that I lied to you. I should have said everything straight on from the beginning. Fuck, what did I get myself into..." "Don't worry, we're going to get them."

I usually don't just accept random hugs or hug others, but in this moment all I needed was a hug. Something to calm down again. And I knew that tomorrow I will find out what the hell was causing Flite's accident. We all had a rough day and needed a break.

Old Friends and a New Face

Slowly I woke up, opening my eyes and rubbing them. The first stop was the toilet and then followed the bathroom. After that I went down into the kitchen. Sigma was sitting there and watching TV, throwing in a: "Good morning!" "Morning", I partially yawned back.

I took a bowl out of the cupboard and some milk out of the fridge, continued with my cornflakes and sat down at the table. Sigma was watching a James Bond movie and I just rolled my eyes.

After finishing my breakfast I said: "So, Sigma, I'll be off to work. You can make yourself at home." "Thanks again!" "No problem!"

I walked outside and took a long walk to the company. If you wondered where it's really situated: The city was built in a valley. The company is around a mile away from the city center and you can access it via road or cycling paths. Normally I walk there since my shift's a bit more dynamic and I enjoy taking the breaths of fresh air in early in the morning.

The thoughts were cycling through my mind and I gathered them all together. First of all, investigate what happened, get myself armed again and then... Wait until that bastard gives me my boyfriend back. That's what I hated so much, that I had to wait. For so long...

I do actually enjoy nature aswell, not really forests and that but just the big green spaces and having this fresh smell going through your nostrils. But to be honest I hate hiking. It's the worst... A mile to walk, not a problem but five? Or even ten? I'm out.

I walked and walked and heard a car, making space for it to pass. Turning around I only saw that it was a police car. The driver honked shortly and stopped besides me and to my surprise:

"Nick!" "Stripes? Cool to see you here! I thought you would work-" "I applied and got accepted. Originally I just wanted to move here with Jeger since he had a job offer a while back and I didn't really plan on getting a job. Since I am not a supergenious and in this town... But hey, that's the thing I can do good and so why not?" "That's great to hear!" "Can I pick you up? It's still a bit to go and I still have a couple of questions." "Sure thing, thanks."

I opened the door, threw my bag on the floor and sat down. Stripes asked:

"So, what is currently happening in your life. I mean we haven't heard of each other for a while now." "Let me begin..."

I told him everything what has happened so far, from the kidnapping, to the bomb explosion and the incident in Flite's lab.

We arrived and stopped in front of the building. Outside waited Jeger and greeted first Stripes and then me: "Nick! Good to see you again!" "Hi, yeah, sorry that I forgot to look by... Everything was a bit weird the last weeks..." "Why that? What happened?" Stripes interferred: "Well honey, I'll tell you later." "Right. Oh and you look so nice in that uniform...", Jeger dreamed a bit. "I can keep it after my shift." "Ooh, that could be fun."

After listening to the two I decided to say something:

"Sorry to interfer with your flirting but I have to go now." Stripes gave Jeger a short kiss and said: "See you later honey!"

We both walked inside. Stripes saying: "My god this place is huge! I have not been here yet. Wow, your paycheck must be amazing. But why are we both walking to the elevator?" "The incident with Flite was in Section 5. You can't go down there without me." "I think I can push a button." "Really..."

We were standing in the cabin, him pushing the button and a little scanner coming out of the panel: "Nick, what am I supposed to do here..." "Put your eye against the scanner."

I giggled as he did that and the door shut, a little alarm going on and him looking confused as hell. After some seconds the door opened and we saw Riptide standing there with crossed arms: "Really Nick? You played that on him?" "Why not, he asked for it." Stripes and Riptide now recognized each other: "Oh, I remember. Riptide, right? From the night-" "In which we were in a pub, yes."

He stepped inside and I pushed the button this time. Stripes asked: "The pub? Why-" "Let's just say I don't need rumours going around the company", said Riptide quickly.

As we walked out there still was a lot of dirt and some ash piles being around the place. Stripes looked a bit confused and got a shocked gaze on as we approached Flite's lab:

"Shit, what happened here? Did you. How did you freeze all of this?" "Nick, you can explain it", said Rip. "Stripes?" "Yeah?" "That was our TIFS-System." "Tif?" "Tomorrow Inc. Fire Supression System. It uses Nitrogen as a coolant and can so extuingish fires way more efficiently. Something I noticed and forgot again was, that this huge glass wall got smashed and, well, winter wonderland." "Right. You don't have mass destructive laser weapons, do you?" "Well, that's part of Section 14-" Riptide interrupted me: "Classified info."

Stripes looked back at us: "You're kidding." I just shrugged and we all walked inside. It was slippery and cold and we had to be careful not to break anything.

But then I remembered: "Sorry peeps, I forgot something I should have picked up. I'll see you around!"

I walked away and went off to the non-lethal firearm lab, where I planned on getting my nifty Taser gun back. I walked inside and saw a new face: "Sorry, but I am looking for a firearm." "Aren't we all? Sorry, just kidding, name's CyberPaws , but you can call me Cy." "Cool to meet you Cy." "So, where is your permit?" "Permit? No, you don't really seem to understand-" "No document, no firearm." "So you really want me to drag Riptide along who is currently busy with the investigations only because I lost my other firearm?" "I'm kidding, what do you need." "A 5 mm Supercharged Suplexdiamond Taser Semi-Automatic Pistol." "My whole life I waited for someone to say that! Haha." We both giggled and he walked over to a shelf.

"Good we made a couple of more. In case someone looses it. Just want to see your ID card, to be on the safe side and know who I can blame later if something goes wrong." "Hehe, here you go." "Now a bit of paper and your telephone number." "I have a boyfriend." "Touché. Well, worth the try." "I know someone you could try it on though." "Oh really?" "Name's Flite. Just look his file up and be a bit careful, he had a rough day yesterday." "Oh, I get it... Yeah heard of it." "Winter Wonderland." "Yeah, some idiot activated the Nitrogen Fire Supressor while the glass was broken."

Did he just say that? Really?

"Thanks for the gun, the idiot is now going to do his work." "SHIT, sorry! I- alright..." I walked out and concentrated on what I would do now.

Ah, yes, wait for this idiot Foxgear to give me my lover back.

Meanwhile...

SECTION 30, T.I. HQ, ALPHA/BETA DIMENSION

A dark and scary room. That is how you could describe the room Akaro was being held in. A squeaky door opened and Foxgear enterd the room, carrying a try table. He placed it on the floor and looked at his prisoner. He closed the door and sat down. Minding a distance of course, since Akaro was just bound to the wall. He just stared at the helpless person, feeling proud of what he 'catched'.

"C'mon, eat something. Would be a pity if you died of starvation." But Akaro remained silent. "Oh come on, I don't want to have to feed you." "Do you think you're funny when you dribble that shit out of your mouth?" "Stood up with the wrong foot, eh?" "I got blasted into a wall. What do you expect me to be, HAPPY?" "Yeah, you survived. That's one reason." "Go to hell." "We're already there."

He stood up again and left the room. Akaro just sat there for a while until he decided to eat something. He was hungry but didn't want to look weak infront of his enemy.

All he was worried about was Nick.

TOMORROW INC, AKARO'S LABORATORY

I walked inside. It was so empty. No greeting, nothing. So I sat down at his desk, letting the feelings just flow through. I decided to do some of his work. I don't understand that much about Biology but enough to make his paperwork. I wish I could do more...

The door opened and Cy entered the room: "Hey, I wanted to say sorry again, for what I said back then." "Doesn't matter. I'm an idiot. I could have reacted faster..." "What? Reacted to what?" "Ah, nevermind." "So, this is your lab then?" "Not completely. I'm sharing it." "With..." "Akaro. Akaro Velmo, Biologist." "And he is your friend or..." "Yeah. But currently not here." "Probably taking a break I guess."

I mumbled to myself: "Yeah, three miles beneath ground..."

"Hm?" "Oh, nothing, I just thought something and mumbled that a bit out." "Ah, okay. So, yeah. What'cha doin' regulary?" "My research was- is, based on astrology. Advanced research in terms of Space Time stuff and all that jazz." "Ah, okay. So you're like Doctor Who then." "Good reference. I think we might get along well. Hehe." "I hope so. Look, I only got this job a couple of days ago and I don't want to screw up with anyone and-" "It's alright. I know what you mean."

In that moment the door opened and Flite walked in. Cy glared at him while Flite asked me: "Heard anything? I got the info from Rip, he told me." "Well, the weekend is a bit away now so, nope." "I hope he comes back." "If he doesn't I'll kill him." We both giggled and laughed and Flite introduced himself to Cy:

"Hi, name's Flite. I'm working in the machinery lab." "Uh, ehm, yeah, hi. Cy. I mean CyberPaws, you can call me Cy. I'm in the gun lab. Non-lethal." "Everything alright?" "Yeah. Do you notice too that it's getting hot in here?" "Maybe. I have that effect." "Oh you do. I mean, haha. I- uh. Th-thanks."

Flite pushed a note into Cy's hand and wandered off. Cy now looked at me: "Wow, that. I, wow. I'll... Go back to work."

He walked away and I wrote some protocols of Akaro's research and tried to focus on work. But then the door, again, opened and Stripes and Riptide walked in:

"Good news is, it was an accident. Bad news is, it damaged something valuable." Riptide said as he sat down with Stripes on the seats. I replied: "What exactly broke?" "One of the main power lines got cooked and frozen, they are absolutely non-functional. So that means I'll have to assign Flite to your lab until we fixed that." "Sure. But if I catch the two smooching I... Oh, you have no idea what I'm talking about." Stripes and Riptide rose an eybrow, Stripes saying: "We have time, c'mon, let's tattle."

So I gave in: "The new one, Cy, guess who he is absolutely in love with." Riptide said: "Aaalright. But that's not very surprising. I have a sense for these things. Guess why I waited for Arctic to speak to_me_." "Speaking of Arctic, where is he? Haven't seen him around." "He's staying at my place, he said he needs a break. And I got an officer over there who watches over him. I won't let them take him again." "First kidnapping was a warning, second one is now the front-on deal." I thought. Thought, yes, sometimes you shouldn't say everything out loud.

We still talked and tattled here and then until I decided, that I had to clear my mind. I needed to quit the work. I had to just get free.

So what I did was walking home. I just needed the breeze of the air and the wind in my face to get other thoughts. I took the way through the city center and got myself a coffee. I haven't had one for a while now.

After doing that I walked home. Opening the door I heard shower sounds. Sigma must be taking a shower upstairs so I decided to go into the kitchen. The house's structure was quite neat. You walk in and have the staircase in the room with a little 'inside balcony' which was the upstairs section with the rooms. Basement was in another hallway and the kitchen's to the right. The sofa and TV are on the left.

I stood there, in the kitchen, drinking my coffee and trying to distract myself. It was not very easy though. So much happened in such a short time. I heard the shower being turned off. After a short while the door opened and Sigma walked downstairs. I turned around and he stood there having an embarrassed and shocked look on his face. I slightly looked down and noticed he was naked. Then he said:

"Oh, hi. Uh, didn't know you were home early." "Yeah I got myself a coffee, wanted to distract myself. And I guess you did that job well." "I'll just put clothes on." "Sure. That's recommended." "Heh."

He walked upstairs and I turned towards the counter again, sipping from my coffee and raising an eyebrow.

As he came back down I was sitting on the couch, he joined me: "Why are you here so early? Did anything happen?" "No, I just needed a break. Thought going home, watching a show or something and just not thinking about what happened. Thanks to you I'm thinking about something else..." "Have fun, that image's going to be engraved in your head, hehe." "I saw worse. Well, not worse, no, but... bigger..." "And how big if I may ask?" "Fifteen... Something around that, not tooo dramatic. I guess."

He looked a bit thrilled by that and said: "Well, someone was busy. And integration doesn't seem like a problem for you." "Oh hush. I mean when was the last time you did something like that." "Remember by distraction when you all rescued Arctic?" "You didn't. Really? I mean me and Akaro placed a little bet on what you'd do, but. Oh my god you're a little slut, aren't you, haha." "What? Reach your target, no matter how, that's what I always think."

We chilled on the couch and watched TV. It was afternoon, around 4:00pm and Sigma got tired, since his head fell on me arm. He must have fallen asleep. I didn't mind it. I was tired aswell and fell asleep a bit later on.

Dinner for Two

I woke up. Not very fast, but I did. I gained my senses and noticed, that Sigma's head was still resting on my shoulder. Slowly I stood up, stretching myself. Then I noticed, that I got hungry. I woke Sigma up and he seemed hungry too. So not thinking really much I said:

"How about a dinner? Something posh to distract?" "Sure. If you're paying." "Well, my paycheck certainly allows me that." "Good. Sorry if I drooled on your arm, I just got so tired." "It's alright, don't worry."

I took the phone and dialed Jenny's Café. I reserved a table for two and looked at the clock: "Uh, nine please. Yep, thank you. So, we got a table at nine, Sigma." "Oh, right, how late's it?" "Around... Eight twenty." "We slept a good while." "Yeah. I'll go up and get ready."

I went up to the bathroom and made my 'hair', brushed my fur a bit since it looked weird and stubby and decided to take a shower. After that I let Sigma in and he did the same, except for taking a shower. I guess we all know why, hehe.

We both took a relaxing walk, talking a bit: "So, Nick. I never really knew what exactly happened. What it felt like to be... sucked into another Dimension." "It was... Horrible. I saw my friends dying and my whole body just couldn't handle it." "Sorry that I asked." "Nevermind, that is over now." "And what happened when you... Well. Got anthropomorphized." "Is that even a word?" I said laughing a bit. "Don't know. So how was it." "It wasn't really better. A bit weird in terms of the aftertaste. Well, said like that it sounds like you just ate something but it was not nice." "I'm so sorry that I actually worked for these idiots. I feel like a huge idiotic asshole..." "You're not. You are neat and friendly overall, you are not as narrowminded as these idiots." "That's so nice of you to say..."

We arrived and took a table on the little balcony bit. There was a lake behind the café which made this a really great distraction. Just enjoying the view.

"So, how's your meat." "Good. Yours?" I asked back. "Nice." "So I got a question. While you're, or, we're all anthropomorphs, do ferals still exist?" "Of course. We're kind of like... Let's just say humans revolutionized from apes, we did from our equal ferals. Sort of like a not really changing revolution. An upgrade." "Sounds like you're building a car." "Haha. I once did. That was, eugh. I have no problems with mathematic equations and common maths, but that was just pure technological nonsense to me." "So what's the square root of 1,600?" "40." "Impressive." "It is. Guess why they actually employed me." "So, I told you so much about me, let me know something about you." "Alright. So I'm actually from America. I was born in Florida and skipped classes. You can think of why. So I was quite young when I went to High School. When I was around... 17 I applied for Yale. They took me and graduated with 20. Then I moved here as I heard of this city. That was when I met Foxgear. He promised me so much shit and what not and I was new here and trusted him. Big mistake. Well and now I'm 22." "Interesting life." "It is alright." "Favourite colour?" "Yellow." "Favourite dish?" "Steak." "Favourite person?" "You."

Wait. Did he say me? I blushed a bit as he said that but also being a bit embarrassed. I didn't really care too much about that and continued:

"Favourite activity?" "Jogging." "First love?" "Someone from the University. We had something going on until I moved away." "When you were a kid, what did you always want to be?" "Police Officer. My dad was one and I looked up to him." "Right. Wow. So know we know each other quite well." "Yep."

We continued eating and when we were done we went back to my house.

As we walked inside we sat down on the couch. Arctic had Netflix and I decided to have a 'Netflix and Chill' evening as people seem to call it.

Sigma decided we should watch Criminal Minds. He liked thrillers and I was okay with that. After we watched around three or four episodes we decided to go to bed.

He looked at me before we stood up: "So, I hope this day was a good distraction for you." "Yeah, it was quite cool. Next time we could watch a movie." "But I know a better distraction."

He nearly threw himself on me as he wildly began to kiss me. First I tried to free myself. But I gave up. After he stopped I could talk again:

"You do know that I have a boyfriend." "And I want to distract you. Oh come on, don't look at me like that. The way you looked at me earlier when I stood there naked. You said you needed distraction, here it is, the all-inclusive."

And with that he continued kissing. I knew this was wrong. I was worried that Akaro's going to kill him for that. But hey, he's stronger than me. While I am kind of neutral he had muscles. Not really much but he had them and kept me on the couch. I couldn't do anything else than to let him...

Forbidden Treasure...

Sigma kissed my muzzle for quite a while now. I didn't notice what happened in the lower area, as he stopped and said:

"See, I told you you needed it."

I looked down and blushed, as my erection was pushing against his stomach. He continued the kiss and I felt his member slowly growing and pushing against my throbbing shaft.

This time I broke the kiss: "We should continue upstairs." "You're the boss." "Alright, princess. You just declared yourself submissive."

I grabbed him and carried him upstairs. I don't have a too huge of a problem with all this but the onliest person allowed to ram his cock up my arse is still my boyfriend.

I threw him on the bed and continued the kissing act. I felt guilt and everything but I couldn't just stop now. So I continued on kissing him. Slowly reaching down and having a grab.

"Ohh, please don't stop." He moaned. "What have you got, eh?" "Proud nine." "Not bad..." "You?" "Nine and a half." "Not bad either." "I know."

We continued kissing deeply as I now removed his shirt revealing his chest and abs. I also took care of his trousers. He did the same for me and now we just layed there in our undies. After some more kissing I grabbed his underwear and pulled it down. He did that to mine aswell and I began.

Slowly from tip to bottom I sucked his throbbing member. He fell on his back and enjoyed the show:

"Wow, you're good."

I began playing with his balls and massaged his shaft at the same time:

"V-v-very g-oo-d. Ungh!"

I paused and kissed his stomach, this time laying on top of him and kissing him again. He grabbed me and we turned over. Now he went down on me:

"Let's see if I can take all of it..." He shoved my whole package into his throat. I clenched a bit by the feeling that gave me and was surprised that he was so good at that. The time he left it completely in was astonishing. As he pulled it out of his throat again he breathed heavily and continued kissing me.

He sat on top of my stomach and slid towards my face. I began sucking him off again and he added slight thrusting motions to it. One hand on his leg, the other on the wall. He moaned in pleasure and I couldn't resist to begin and slightly finger him. He let out a pleasurous moaning and I used two fingers now. I grabbed his cheecks, the bottom ones, and pushed him forwards to continue kissing his mouth.

Our throbbing erections were pushing against each other while we had a deep and thriving kiss. He slid his back forwards a bit and positioned his butt above my member.

We started kissing again as he now slowly pushed down, allowing my shaft to enter his back. A loud moaning was audible from him while our muzzles were touching. I helped and slowly moved up. It was inside now and I started to slowly thrust. He broke the kiss to put his hands against the wall and started to do the work for me. I just layed there enjoying the feeling that my erection inside his anus gave me.

We decided to switch positions. I was now on top and we tried missionary. Once again I slowly pushed it in, a bit faster this time since his hole was widened already and we started kissing again. We broke loose as Sigma said:

"Nick, I don't think I can last for too long..." "Yeah, I get that feeling too. Let's switch again."

Now he was sitting on top of me again and I bended a bit so that while he could ride me I could at the same time suck his erection off. I thrusted faster and he did into my mouth too.

Suddenly Sigma let out: "Alright, any moment!" "Me too!"

I thrusted faster and faster and he did too when he rammed his member as deep as he could into my throat and I did the same into his back. We both came with a loud moaning. I filled up his hole while he filled my throat. Quickly after that I pulled out and a bit of semen was dripping out. He did too and I had to gulp and cough for a moment. He slid down and was on top of me again. We gave each other a kiss and I said to him:

"Thank you." "No problem, that's what friends are for." "Yeah. That was one hell of a distraction, haha." "Especially for me. My back still hurts." "Aw. But you enjoyed it, didn't you." "I seduced you, don't forget that." "I mean Akaro's going to kill you or he wants you to join us when he finds out." "That's not a wide spectrum." "Speaking about spectrum. We did make quite a mess..." "Hey, my back is filled with your cum." "You shot down my throat." "Right, we're equal." We laughed and kissed one last time.

We rolled over to the left side and he wrapped his arms around me. We both fell asleep quite fast...
