Ducktales: Journey To Agartha - Act 5

Chapter 36: Blue Whales

"-I am sorry I got you involved in this. I was an idiot for trying to warn you. I should have taken their threats more seriously."

Ellie had just finished telling Gloria the entire 'how I ended up involved with serial killers' story, as well as Dr. Anity's goal. At the moment they were at a high class party being held on the beach for fellow tourists, getting ready to, you know, kill people.

"It's alright, Ellie. You didn't know that all of this was going to happen. Let's just hurry and get Dr. Anity what he needs so we can go back to the cruise." God, she had no idea how she was going to explain this to anyone, especially Gyro, and it didn't help that he was there at the party looking after Boyd. She was going to have to do her best to avoid him for the night.

They had multiple pills at hand that they planned on slipping into the victims drinks. They would die within an hour giving them enough time to walk them all the way to the lab without needing to carry them. That would be even more suspicious.

Ellie, not so subtly, slipped the pills into three random drinks. But everyone at the party was too stupid to even notice.

"I will be able to easily keep track of the drinks. The victims will become disoriented within thirty minutes which is when we will begin to lead them away." Ellie said. "If anyone gets suspicious, which they will not because organics are idiots, Dr. Anity will handle it." That's what he said which only made her more nervous. She had no idea how many eyes he actually had, but it had to have been more than just Ashley. Security cameras? "Also... there is a tiny issue. I do not believe we will be allowed to leave with the cruise once it departs."

"What?! We won't? So does this mean he expects more from us after this?" Damn this hole was even deeper than she realized.

"I suppose... that or he may kill us in the end. There is really no way of telling what is going on in his mind." Ellie sighed. "Like I said, I am sorry for getting you involved. I know you do not want to be a murderer, maybe...?" She actually had no idea if Gloria was into that. Like Dr. Anity had said, homegirl was a mystery. "But it was either that or you would be stuck in the lab with him and Ashley. I felt like this option was better and would put you in less danger."

A random tourist walked by and grabbed one of the poisoned drinks. Just an old guy so it wasn't a huge loss. Dude only had seven white blood cells left anyway.

"No I agree. I would rather hang out with you and do... this, than stay in that creepy basement alone with them." Plus Gloria had a streak of sass talking to the people who kidnap her so maybe it was a good thing that she wasn't around them. One wrong comment and she would be dead. "Do you think you could scan the people here and see who's going to die the soonest?" That would make this situation a little more morally correct. "I know that super old guy just took the first drink."

"I could, but we would look more suspicious if we attempted to control who took the drinks. And if people become suspicious, more people will die. I believe it is better to simply leave it to chance."

Brittany, with a squad of paparazzi behind her, took the second poisoned drink.

"HAHAHAHA!" Ellie nudged Gloria and pointed at Brittany. "I already tried to kill her already! This is hilarious!"

Gloria read about her on the news. Brittany was a total bitch and Ellie really had every right to be pissed off at her. Not sure if that meant that she deserved to die but at least Ellie will get some sort of revenge.

They continued to watch Brittany to see if she would drink it. She wasn't. She was just holding it and having the paparazzi take photos of her in her very expensive dress that she specifically had made and shipped to from Italy for this party. She was going to throw it away afterwards.
