Double Trouble: A Choice

Chapter 8 - Crazy Scientist(s)

-You can?! - Elliot asked with a glimpse of hope in his eyes.

Both Adams exchanged some doubtful looks, then looked at the man again. He walked closer to them and sat in front of Elliot, a bit too close.

-There's this... legend, about a crazy scientist's secret lab. Samuel Barnes, secret lab. - he giggled, this man really looked insane.

-A legend? - Dark grunted, voice filled with irony. - For God's sake, get lost, you fucking weirdo.

Elliot hitted Dark's arm with his elbow softly and looked at the man again.

-Do you know where the laboratory is? - the british man asked.

-Hm, maybe I do, maybe I don't... - the blonde said - You'll have to give me something in exchange if you want information.

-And what do you want? - Light asked.

The blonde man took a quick look at Elliot and smirked.

-What about 20 minutes with the hottie?

Elliot stayed silent and moved a bit away. Light hugged him closer as he looked at the man with a disgusted look, before they could even answer Dark was already holding the guy's collar with a knife on his hand.

-Say that again and I swear to God I'll cut that filthy cock off of you! - he growled.

Light and Elliot looked at Dark a bit surprised, they didn't even know he had a knife with him. The guy stayed silent and looked at Dark Adam, static.

-Now what about start talking, bitch?! - the goth man grunted again.

-Uhm, sure... - the man said as he cleared his throat - All I know is that another guy knows where it is, I don't...

Dark pressed the blade against the man's neck slightly and tightened the grip on the collar.

-I-I swear! - the other man gasped - He works at a bar, it's name is... uh... Presto?

-You better don't be lying - the goth man grunted, still holding the guy's collar tight.

He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked back to see Elliot standing there.

-It's ok, let him go. - he said as he stroked Dark's shoulder.

The goth man finally pushed the blonde guy away, making him trip and fall on the floor. He only grumbled before leaving.

-Where did you get the knife? - the youngest man answered as he watched Dark putting it back on his pocket.

-It's mine, what do you think? I always have it.

-Hm, ok...

-Don't use it again unless it's completely necessary, Dark. - Light said, standing up.

-It was necessary now! The guy wanted to rape him! - he growled.

-Guys, no fights. C'mon we should just hurry up and try to find this bar. - the youngest man said as he stepped in between the other two.

-You're right. - Light said as he stroked Elliot's side slightly - But are you ok? Those comments were really... nasty. It must have made you uncomfortable.

For once Dark didn't make fun of what Light said, on the contrary he looked at Elliot waiting for an answer.

-I'm ok, seriously, guys. - he said with a little shy smile - Let's go. I want to find this stupid bar the sooner I can.

The other two man nodded and quickly got their phones to look for the bar.

After some hours they finally found the right bar. They were all exhausted and sweaty, their feet hurted and they really, really needed a rest. But Elliot just wanted to find Sam the quicker he could, if that weird guy was telling the truth then there was still a little bit of hope, so they went in.
