Chapter 15: Call Out My Name

There were no plans coming to Jake or Rose's heads. That pretty much had given up at that moment. Being kidnapped by the Dublekas a second time had definitely killed their confidence and motivation. They didn't know what to do, and they had lost every ounce of faith they had before.

Rose and Jake both had the sacks taken off their heads, but they were locked in the storage room of the UFO. It was dark, cramped, and scary. Snickering from the Dublekas, who were at the other side of the UFO, was heard.

"Jake, I'm scared," Rose whispered. "What are we going to do? We've lost."

"We haven't lost until we've died," Jake said in a hushed voice. "We'll figure something out..." He looked around. "But for now... we'll just have to sit and wait for an opportunity to come. There's nothing we can do right now."

Tears started to sting Rose's eyes as she started to feel anxiety and fear. She turned away from Jake so that he wouldn't see she was crying. Jake scooted closer to Rose and threw his arm over her shoulders, like they he had once before. He pulled her into a hug as she started to sob. She buried her head into his chest, allowing him to solace her.

"Listen, if you ever need anything... just call out my name," Jake whispered, doing anything he could to comfort her. Rose nodded and tried to calm down as she continued to listen to his soothing whispers.

"How... How will I know that you'll actually be there for me?" Rose asked, sniffling.

"I'll help you through sickness and fear," Jake answered. "I'll help calm your insanity and help bring you happiness. You're my best, and only, friend. I'll be there for you whenever you need me."

"Thanks," Rose sniffed. "And whenever you need me, no matter what it is, just call out my name. And I'll be there for you too." She leaned her head back onto Jake's chest, feeling more relaxed. She also felt Jake lean his head onto her head.

For the next half hour, Jake and Rose sat in the darkness of the storage room. They still were lying in each other's arms, admiring the comfort of each other. The two of them were trying to stay positive, imagining their lives after beating the Dublekas and saving the world.

"I'd want to live with Jake forever," Rose thought. "I'll be able to live the life I always wanted. I could get an education, raise a family of my own, get a decent job, and be happy." Rose looked over at Jake. "Jake, I love you. I hope you know that. And if you don't, all I have to do is call out your name."

"Even though my entire family and most of my friends are dead, I'll live a happy life," Jake thought. "Not only will the world be at peace, but I'll be able to spend my life with Rose... I hope. I want to have a new start, get a job as a surgeon and save more lives, get a house with Rose, and... start a family." Jake looked at Rose. "Rose, I love you. I hope you know that. And if you don't, all I have to do is call out your name."

A stream of light blasted inside of the storage room when Dubleka B opened the door. Then Dubleka D came inside as well. Dubleka B took Rose while Dubleka D grabbed Jake.

"ROSE!" Jake screamed.

"JAKE!" Rose shouted.

Dublekas B and D weren't able to handle Jake and Rose by themselves, because of how much they were fighting to escape their grips, so they had to call Dublekas A and C to help him. Dublekas A and B dragged Rose out of the UFO, and Dublekas C and D were following behind while carrying Jake. They took them inside of the feared, familiar hideout of the Dublekas'. But instead of taking the door to the left of the main entrance, they went straight inside of a small door to the northeast of the of the main entrance. Then they turned on the first left and went through a steel door.

There was a cold, depressing, small room with iron walls. In the middle of the room, there were two cyrotubes. They were long and oval-shaped. Both of them were closed, but the insides of the tubes were visible. The cyrotubes were metal, with white padding inside of them.

Jake and Rose were tossed into the awful room. Then the Dublekas left, closing and locking the steel door on the way out. There was no chance of escaping. The two prisoners ran to each other and hugged each other tightly.

"You called out my name," Jake and Rose said in-sync. Then they looked at each other, shocked that they said the same thing at the same time. "And I'll be there with your insanity."
