My Guardian Essence™

Lord Of Scars (Part 1)

Bill is now at The Bungalow Club, speaking with the police officers that have just arrived.

Officer: Describe the men you saw, sir.

Bill: Uh...I only saw 2 of them. They had on identical clothes. Sleeveless leather jacket, fingerless gloves, tight leather pants, black Timberlands, black handkerchief tied around their heads and tattoos covering both of their arms.

Officer: This sounds like the work of the Devil Dogs. But they don't usually kidnap women. So this is a first.

Bill: I just sent her out back to get rid of the trash and by the time I knew it, I heard screaming. When I grabbed my gun and got outside, it was too late. They already threw her in the van. First, her parents. Then her brother. And now her.

Officer: Parents? Brother?

Bill: Her parents died almost a decade ago but her brother was attacked by some psycho who put him in the hospital for 2 weeks.

Officer: Is he still there now?

Bill: Yeah. He's not getting discharged till tomorrow morning.

Officer: I need 2 officers to accompany this man to the station! I have to make a stop by the hospital!

The officer runs off towards the police car he arrived in and drives off. Meanwhile, 2 other officers assists Bill and eventually escorts him to the police station.

MEANWHILE...

Joanne: Miss Germanotta is in league with a Nazi soldier who's more than 100 years old. I can't believe this...

Nate: What are we gonna do? Nowhere is safe. Not the school. Not our homes. Not even the park my parents loved...

Joanne: You want us to leave town? I could ask my dad to hook us up with some plane tickets...

Nate: Yeah, that's a good idea.

Before they could go any further, the police officer that was speaking to Bill earlier walks into the room.

Officer: Nathanael Sprayberry?

Nate: Yes?

Officer: I'm with the M.S.P.D. We need to talk about your sister.

Joanne: What happened to her?

Officer: She was abducted. By what appears to be the Devil Dogs biker gang. Her boss, Bill, confirmed it to me.

Nate instantly becomes angry.

Nate: My sister...WAS TAKEN???

Officer: I understand your frustration but please...calm down. I know you're not getting released until tomorrow morning so I won't interrogate you now. Once you've been cleared, the officers outside will escort you to the precinct. Okay?

Nate: Yeah. Okay.

The officer then exits the room. Joanne looks at Nate.

Joanne: You're not gonna wait till morning, are you?

Nate: Of course not.

Joanne: I'm coming with you...

Nate: NO.

Joanne: What? Why?

Nate: Andrew's missing and now my sister's missing too. I don't wanna drag you into this and you end up missing as well. I'm gonna break out of here tonight and rescue my sister. I know where the Devil Dogs' chill spot is.

Joanne: You do?

Nate: Yeah. Andrew took me there once last year so we could score some free booze for some party that one of Natalie's friends were hosting.

Joanne: Wow. Okay. But...what can I do? Natalie is my friend...

Nate: Try to track down Vladimir. I have a feeling that he knows where Andrew is as well. Hold on. Did they find Andrew's phone at the park the day when they found me?

Joanne: Um...no. Natalie told me they only found you. Why?

Nate: Because Andrew may still have his phone. I need you track it. Use my laptop if you want.

Nate hands his laptop over to Joanne.

Joanne: Okay. So...the plan is...I find Andrew and you find Natalie?

Nate: That's exactly it. Now...go. I need to figure out how I'm gonna escape.

Joanne: Okay.

After that, Joanne hurries out of the hospital and immediately heads home to start her search for Andrew.

3 HOURS LATER...

Nate is now contemplating what he's gonna do but, without looking closely, he steps off of the bed and accidentally steps on a tack. After pulling it out of his foot, a few drops of his blood falls on the floor. Being more caught up with the pain, he pays more attention to how he's feeling. Out of nowhere, he stands up to see the police men who were on surveillance duty standing in the room like lifeless mannequins while staring at him.

Nate: What do you guys want?

To his surprise, they don't answer him. Instead, they grab him and forcefully places doctor clothes on him and then start walking with him to the entrance of the hospital.

Nate: What the hell are you psychos doing? Let me go!!!

They still don't listen and, as they reach the parking lot, they shove Nate into the back of the ambulance while another officer was already in the front seat of the ambulance waiting. As the ambulance drives off, Nate takes a glance through the glass at the back of the ambulance and he sees all the police men faint, one after the other.

Nate: The hell is going on? What kinda power is this?

The drive continues till Nate reaches the Devil Dogs chill spot. Nate exits the back of the ambulance and then goes out and then looks at the driver.

Nate: What's going on? Why did you help me? And why did all those officers faint after helping me?

The officer looks at him and then turns his head away and then drives off. Meanwhile, Nate is confused and wondering what just happened.

Nate: I don't know what just happened but...I'm finally here. And all I have is a surgical knife but it will have to do. I'm not leaving her until I get my sister back.

Nate takes a quick glance at the knife again and, after a few moments of self doubt, he decides to approach the hideout.

Nate: I'm coming, Natalie! Just hold on! I'm gonna get you out of there!!!

Meanwhile, Natalie is in the storeroom, unconscious and still gagged and tied up.
