Blood and Cigarettes [Karl Heisenberg] | Discontinued

Chapter 9

A favor for a favor, a deal for a deal. Even then, why could Leigh still not sleep? She was still miserable, a part of her wished that Heisenberg would just put her out of her misery, but that was a quick way out and what would become of her sister? This wasn't just about Leigh, but maybe Logan didn't need her help.

She couldn't see her sister, the other senses were the only ones that really worked to a different extent. She needed to rely on everything else to tell her about Logan, but she also had to put trust in Heisenberg that they had an understanding.

Yet, he left her there was this wasn't a true understanding. Even if she tried to leave, escape once she found Logan, he would be right behind her. He had the control over the Lycans, it would only be a matter of time until they caught up.

Leigh laid her head back, night was coming. She could feel the sudden wave of cold air rush through her, quickly and in a hurry. "It's nice," she murmured under her breath.

While in a bad situation, it really and truly felt relaxing. Her eyes closed, she needed to get her rest while she still could. It wouldn't last long, she couldn't sleep forever and tomorrow was another day.

Time had moved swiftly, though the moon was still glaring over the factory. In the heart of the factory, Heisenberg stared at a board with pictures of all the Lords, Miranda, three other adults and a baby. It wasn't time to make their move yet, but it would be soon.

Heisenberg released the sheet that covered up the board, lighting a cigar. He still had other things to think about, the girl he had chained in another room.

Leigh.

The deal they had made was simple enough, they both received something in return. Leigh wanted her sister and Heisenberg wanted Miranda turned to paste. He knew Leigh couldn't do it, that wasn't the power he needed, but she would be of some use.

If there was a way to get the other twin from Lady Dimitrescu, that would be perfect for what he was planning. He could use them both, but they weren't Lycans. It wasn't like he could train them to do what he wanted, but he could manipulate them.

He could keep Logan from Leigh, but if he brought Logan back to Leigh, that was even more perfect.

Heisenberg glanced back towards the room he had left Leigh in, everything was silent. He didn't hear the clacking of her chains or the whispering of her voice. There was no way she could have gotten out of the bindings, but it couldn't hurt to check on her. He picked up his hammer, holding the cigar in his other hand. He put it between his lips, blowing smoke out as he walked.

Walking through the halls of the factory, Heisenberg listened for anything out of the ordinary, but it was mostly silent. He turned a corner, peering into the room he had left Leigh in.

In the same place he had left her, Leigh had slumped against the wall, her eyes closed. He could see her chest still moving, she was just sleeping and if she wasn't, that was just an asset lost.

No harm, no foul.. mostly.

Heisenberg placed his hammer down against the wall, walking closer to Leigh. Her hands would twitch every once and a while, she still had life in her. The day had been long for her, he couldn't quite blame her for sleeping, there wasn't much else she could really do.

Blowing out more smoke, Heisenberg walked away from Leigh, leaving her sleeping. Heisenberg took another deep puff of the cigar, blowing the smoke out.

Stretching, Leigh flinched as the cuffs rubbed against her skin. Leigh laid her wrists back on her lap. Feet from her sat Heisenberg who had fallen asleep with his hat on his face. Leigh sighed, looking around the room. Heisenberg's hammer sat right beside him, there was no hope of using that.

That thing was pure metal, but he made it look easy to lift. Leigh sighed, looking back at Heisenberg. She removed her shoe, throwing it directly at his head and hitting him spot on.

Maybe not the best idea, but Leigh didn't want to continue sitting and doing nothing while her sister went through who knew what.

Heisenberg groaned, removing the hat from his face and he stared daggers straight at her. He picked his glasses up from the floor and placed them on, "I let you sleep and live last night, yet you can't do the same thing?"

Leigh stared back at him, "I'm burning daylight. Right now, I could be looking for my sister and trying to rescue her, but yet, here I am."

Formalities were over, how much time did Leigh truly have until something seriously awful happened to her sister?

Heisenberg chuckled, crossing his arms over his chest. "So, what do you plan to do if you can't even get out of those?"

"I thought that was where you come in," Leigh said and Heisenberg smirked.

"Well, do we have an understanding on the deal?" He asked.

Leigh nodded, "we do. It's crystal clear, but you have to hold up your end of the bargain. I know if I try to leave with my sister that those things will be right on my heels. I know that I won't escape even if I make an attempt, no matter how far I get."

Heisenberg stood from his chair, walking over to her. He picked up his hammer, slamming it into the chain, causing Leigh to flinch with the snap of the metal chain on the cuffs. Her hands were still bound, but Heisenberg gestured with his head. "First, you're going to stay with me for a little bit longer."
