A Misunderstanding : The Music Freaks :

Escaping The Inevitable

Drew woke up in the back of a Black Car with tinted window's. He looked around the car, still confused on how he got here or why he was there in the first place. He saw the man driving the car and another man sitting in the passenger seat. Drew tried looking out a window from the place he was laying but suddenly a jolt of pain in his spine stopped him from moving. The man in the passenger seat heard him flinch from the pain and turned to look at him. "So your finally awake, huh?" The man stared at him with a steely gaze that made Drew cower slightly. He'd never been in a situation like this and had never cowered from someone. That meant whatever was happening, it wasn't good. He tried to take in his surroundings again but that was difficult when he couldn't move his body. The man looked at him again then leaned in an whispered something to the man in the drivers seat. The man in the drivers seat chuckled. "Hello, Drew." He said with an overly calm demeanour. "I cant give you my real name but you can call me by my code name like everyone else. I am Cryo." Drew was confused by the lack of proper name but accepted it anyway and decided to act like he wasnt as shaken up as he was. "Then you can call me Athena, Demi-God of Wisdom." Drew replied sarcastically. The man, Cryo, Laughed at this. "So you've got a sense of humor, I like that." Drew spotted a few thing he could use to escape if he found out he was in danger. He saw a wheel of thread in a basket, an empty bottle and a metal reusable straw. He carefully slipped the thread and straw into his pocket and kept the bottle within reach. "Anyway, where are you taking me?" Drew asked the man driving. Cryo was silent. It seemed he was contemplating what to say. after a few moments, "I am taking you to a lab in order to find a fix to your spine. You have spinal paralysis after your accident and i believe i have a way to fix this. Drew was confused and exhasperated. Guess his plans of escape would be slim to none if what he said was true. it would also explain the pain he feels whenever he moves. "That reminds me, You know Jake, yes?" Cryo asked him with a hint of concern in his voice so subtle Drew almost didn't notice. "Jake Sterling? Yeah, i Know him." Drew responded calmly. Though he was freaking out about how this man knew Jake, he wasnt about to let that show. "He's my Boyfriend." Cryo Seemed shocked by this news. He pulled the car over and leaned back to look at Drew. Drew got to see his face for the first time. "Your Dating Jake?" He asked Drew in disbelief. Drew was now even more confused. "Yeah, why?" Cryo's face showed guilt, but only for a second as his normal, calm demeanour returned. He turned around and started driving again. They drove in utter silence for a while until. "Jake is my son." Cryo told Drew. This caught Drew off guard. "Jake's father left him when he was a kid. I dont believe you." Drew told him firmly. Cryo sighed, And didn't say another word. A few minutes later, the car stopped. The two men opened their doors and got out. Drew took in a deep breath and got ready. The door next to him opened and someone grabbed him to pull him out. He let them pull him out and when they did, He threw the bottle at their face. They flinched back and released him. He bolted down the asphalt, completely unaware of where he was or where he was going. Every step caused immense pain in his spine but he knew this was his only chance. He turned to see the man he threw a water bottle at hard on his tail while Cryo shouted into a cellphone. Drew was athletic so he should've easily been able to outrun the Man but in his current condition he could barely keep a set pace. The man was gaining on him and that's when Drew remembered the thread. He pulled it out and turned around. he unravelled some from the wheel and waited for the man to approach. When the man got close enough he reached out to grab Drew. Drew sidestepped and flung the string around the mans wrist. He pulled it tight and then wrapped the other end around the mans neck and pulled. It tightened, pulling the mans hand towards his neck and causing him to stumble. Drew shoved the rest of the string in his pocket and continued to run down the street. Only now, did he take in his surroundings. he was on a huge open field of asphalt with only one structure anywhere nearby. He looked across the distance and saw a group of buildings very far out. He ran as hard as he could until he heard yelling. He turned his head around and saw a group of 6 people chasing after him. Drew had taken some self defense lessons but it wouldn't be anywhere near enough to get him out of this. As he ran, he fed some string through the straw and tied it at the end to stop the straw from falling off on one end. He looped the other end around the outside and tied it to the first end, connecting them. He then took a long piece of thread and tied it to the other thread, then put the wheel in his pocket. He swung the straw around of the long string like a Rope dart. It wouldn't be able to do much damage but it could stall. He turned around and faced the six men. He swung it forward at the first men. He flinched and the string fell short. However, He had stopped suddenly in the process and caused the other five to run into him. He fell over and hit his head hard on the concrete and the other five stumbled over his body. He swung the straw at another on and it hit the side of his head. it didn't knock him out but it did make him stumble. He then grabbed the string attached to the straw itself and held the string and straw like a brass knuckle. He punched one of the men and knocked him over. he had successfully taken down two. He swung at another one but missed. The man grabbed his arm that had the makeshift brass knuckle and punched Drew in the gut. Drew could now barely stand but with the last of his strength he kicked the man in the leg and toppled him. Drew fell to his knee's in pain. He felt something hard hit the back of his head and then everything went dark.
