The Disappearance of Tommy

New Orders

"Jeez! It's been hours!" The shapeshifter returned to his natural face and paced back and forth. In front of him was Tommy. Tommy could hear, Tommy could smell, he couldn't not feel or move. Around his neck was a large high text shackles. They would shock him with each movement he made. Around his hands were the same overbearing and weight shackles. He couldn't lift them up. Around his ankles were chains that were attacked to the neck shackle. Once again, any large movements would pull the chains on neck shackle to his feet. Basically bending his back to an uncomfortable position. But Tommy didn't move. He flinched when the man who kidnapped him walked closer.

Tommy heard a thud on the floor. Did the man collapse in front of him? Tommy didn't seem to care as much when he heard a large door creak open and shut. Someone with soft boots ran over.

"Overused! Again!" Tommy new That voice. Tommy remembers it but, can't track it down. The other man who stole him from Techno mumbled something as he was picked up.

"Nerd recharge." The robotic man walked from Tommy and placed the shapeshifter on a table. He strapped his neck, arms, waist, and ankles down before going over to Tommy.

"6208. We're going to go home, real soon. I wonder what they're going to do to you?" The distorted voice asked.

"They could- ⍀h...⟒ ⊬- ⊑⟒⌰⌿ ☌⟒⏁ ⋔⟒ ⍜⎍⏁. ⊑⟒⌰⌿."

Tommy heard a thud on the floor. Did the man collapse in front of him? Tommy didn't seem to care as much when he heard a large door creak open and shut. Someone with soft boots ran over.

"Overused! Again!" Tommy new That voice. Tommy remembers it but, can't track it down. The other man who stole him from Techno mumbled something as he was picked up.

"Nerd recharge." The robotic man walked from Tommy and placed the shapeshifter on a table. He strapped his neck, arms, waist, and ankles down before going over to Tommy.

"You're 6208." Tommy tilted his head up slightly and looked in the vernal direction the voice came from.

"I ordered to give you this."

"Opening chest cavity." A women robotic voice announced as the man's stomach was opened like flaps. He reached inside and pulled out the stuff animal.

"Scientist Sam gave to you, now I give it to you." The robot pushed the cow in front of Tommy's hands. Tommy slightly traced his hand of the back. It was the cow.

"We go home, 6208. They put you to sleep for long, long time." The robot voice faded as he got up and walked away.

"It...you! Sam!" Tommy called, the robot stopped shifting around and froze.

"S.A.M, Skilled Artillery Machine, otherwise known as Sam. Is my name." The robot answered, Tommy smiled and desperately wanted to get up and race over to him. He wanted to hug him, to thank him.

"You!" Tommy exclaimed.

"You...leh- me go." He finished his sentence slowly.

"I did not. Professor Sam did. I am modelled after Sam, but I am not him. Sam let you go, I bring you back."

"Sam?"

"Sam was punished for his deeds. There is no more human Sam." Tommy felt his restrained eyelids widen and expose his void of eyes.

"Gone?"

"Gone." The man responded, and turned back to Puffy. Tommy wanted to cry. He felt this overwhelming sensation claw at his organs inside his stomach. He wanted to scream. He felt his hands shake and rattle the chains, he began to shake all over. Tommy's finger tips began to tingle like they were numb, he wasn't sure if he was crying or sweating.

"Authorization to eliminate hostage?" The robot asked himself, or his wrist which was remotely connected to the lab. It wasn't until he heard Tommy choke on his breathing that he turned around.

"What's wrong?"

"Commencing retina scan."

"Increased heart rate, sweating, numbness, stomach ache...analysis: You are having a panic attack." Tommy's breathing started to become nothing but huffs of air as he tried to stop the neck brace from pull him back.

"We'll remove the ankle restraints." The robot went behind the boy and unlocked the cuffs. Tommy leaned forwards and collapsed on the floor. He panted heavily as he wept without tears.

"6208, this is a new feeling for you. You must calm yourself." The robot knelt beside the shaking boy.

"Tommy?" Puffy's weak voice call from the further corner. The robot shot his head back and ran over to her.

"You! Get up!" He yanked her to her feet as the chains on her ankles and wrists provoked her to stumble. She was thrown to the ground and in front of Tommy.

"Tommy, it's me..it's Puffy." Tommy kept gasping for air, but Puffy reached out and helped him sit up. She wrapped her warm arms around him and he clung to her shirt.

"Everything is going to be fine, just listen to my breathing." The boy hid his face in her shoulder as she rubbed his back.

"Repeat after me, one. I know you can say one.."

"O..one."

"Good job, Tommy."

"Two..."

"Te-two."

"Wonderful, let's just keep counting." Tommy's breathing slowed as he kept repeating what puffy was saying.

It wasn't until Tommy had mostly calmed down, that the sickening and frightening voice ran through the robot.

"Authorization granted."

A loud shot rang out and pierced Tommy's ears, he was pulled down with the once warm and comforting body. The body was cold and lifeless as he squeezed her limp corpse on the floor.
