Jack yawned and sat up about to get ready for his day, until he felt a pair of arms wrap around him. Jack felt a smile creep onto his face as Dave put his head on Jack's shoulder.
"Stay." He said groggily
Jack looked at the clock and saw that he was up early, a few more minutes couldn't hurt right? He layed back down and snuggled up to his purple lover and felt the soft grip of sleep pull him into unconsciousness.
His eyes fluttered open, how long had he been asleep? Jack turned onto his side to see Dave right next to him, Jack's eyes drank in every detail of his face, his slightly parted lips, his purple hair ruffled and messy, the tiny scar going down his neck. The orange man was content, his best friend was now his lover.
Lover
He loved the way the word sounded and it was a very fitting word. Jack never pointed it out but he had noticed how much Dave wanted to touch him, whether is was playing with his hair or leaning on his shoulder. Something broke his concentration, a set of red numbers that flashed on the alarm clock on Dave's side of the bed. It took Jack a second to register what he was seeing
"DAVE GET UP WE'RE LATE FOR WORK!"
------------------------------------
Jack was bored. Business was incredibly slow and music man was asleep, he had nothing to do except watch everyone else be bored. Dave was sweeping, Peter was asleep in a chair, and Dee was playing with Blackjack. The orange man was drifting off when he felt his phone ring in his pocket. He picked up and a voice spoke on the other end.
"Hello, this is the Los Angeles police department. Am I speaking to the owner of Freddy Fazbenders Pizza?"
Jack felt his stomach turn.
Please no, not again please
"Yeah... that's me" he responded
The man asked for his name and Jack gave it to him, he answered all his questions until the thing he was dreading most happened.
"We need to ask you another question
. . . Have you heard anything about what happened outside your restaurant, today?"
Jack's heart dropped
----------------------------------------
A man stepped off of his motorcycle and looked around, once determining that the coast was clear Dr. Henry Miller took of his helmet revealing his pink eyes. He had to give credit to William, this body was perfect for hiding in plain sight, the leather jacket he had found covered the ax wound in his back. He hated this specimen's mode of transport however, a motorcycle painted orange and purple.
Their new base of operations was secluded, an abandoned cabin in the woods. He walked through the threshold of the shack looking around.
"William. Come here now." He said "I need the items you procured for me."
Out of one of the side rooms a decaying green rabbit shambled into view, its fur was blackened in some places and its ears were singed. DaveTrap shambled out the backdoor to do what Henry asked for him, dragging in a black trash bag full of old tech.
"Thank you willy"
Henry notices how using the nickname he gave to William so long ago always sent shivers up the rabbit man's spine, every time it happened the pink man almost smiled.
... almost
He enjoyed the pain he caused him, he shouldn't have failed him in the first place. Forgiveness is cheap and besides, his pain helped Henry continue his experiments. He walked into the backroom of the building and picked up his revolver, it would be over soon and he could walk the earth free of his chains the threatened to pull him back to the void. he was grateful for William's help but when Henry was done he would just be one less loose end.
"William, bring him to me." he said calmly
DaveTrap rolled in a middle-aged man tied to a wheelchair. He had black hair and several cuts on his face from the abduction.
"Do you know why I do this, William?" Henry asked quietly as he grabbed his tools
"N-no I-i don't know why you do this" He mutter back
"I do this because it keeps me here" Henry began "Kennedy's desperate bid to escape my trap created a rift between the flipside and reality which could be traveled through, this allowed me to escape the void... partially. My soul was severed and I was left to wander the earth, all the while I was being pulled back to the void. Until I found YOU William, a burnt corpse in a rabbit suit perfect for possession. Little did I know you were still there, so ever since I've been harvesting souls, black souls to be specific and with the power of those souls I am able to reman in this realm. However I have come to a realization. I don't have enough time to accomplish my goals and so I have to return to something I abandoned long ago in my original research."
"What was it?" DaveTrap asked
"All in good time William, all in good time." He responded "For now i must get to work."
--------------------------------------------------------------
The residents of the Kennedy household sat around the table taking in the information that was just dropped onto them. Not only had a man been abducted outside of their restaurant but a safe from the previous restaurant had been found, inside were a series of logs made by Henry.
"That's how he has been keeping himself from returning to the void, black souls." Jack said in shock
Jack looked at Dave who was staring down at the tape recorder, silent tears paring from his eyes. Jack moved closer to him and wrapped his arm around the purple man's shoulder, before he knew it Dave crashed into him and held him close.
After a minute of silence Steven spoke "If soul power can get someone into the flipside and by proxy the void, could it keep someone trapped in the void permanently?"
"Its possible" Blackjack replied "But to do it we would need a soul charged with an impossible amount of negative emotions."
The realization struck Jack like a pound of bricks.
"Henry." He said
"What?" Steven asked
"Henry" Jack repeated "Henry will power his own prison."

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I did it! I finished the chapter!
In all seriousness I'm sorry that this chapter took so long to release, a lot of stuff happened in my life and when i was just about to finish the chapter the news dropped that Technoblade died and for some reason i can't explain it just broke me. I'm doing better now and I'm happy that i have the motivation to write again. Also I had never read or heard the tapes Henry made in dsaf 3 before writing this chapter and they are surprisingly dark, go check them out if you haven't
See you on the flipside!
