Chapter 13

RELAPSE

He pushed the doors open. Light poured in. I looked closer. It wasn't light. It was a car light. More than one car. It was the Russian government. And they came back for revenge.

•-ANDROMEDA's POV-•
I gasped in astonishment as Hoag wheeled forward. A man stepped out and Pledias and Triffid immediately stepped in front of Hoag. Mayall grabbed both Bode and me behind her. The man stepped forward and pushed Pledias and Triffid out of his way.

"What seems to be the problem here?" Hoag was nervously sweating.

"No big deal we are here for someone named..." The man spoke in a raspy voice that made the hair on my back tingle. He took out a little composition notebook. "Someone named Andromeda." I stepped back and that made Mayall suddenly step forward.

"Sir, we regret to inform you that she is not with us. We lost her in the fire." He faked a tear or so. That signaled for all of us to act sad.

"I know she is here with you. Stop lying professor Hoag. She's right there." He pointed towards me and Bode stood in front of me. Acting as a shield. "We need her for Cygnus."

"If you don't mind sir we would like to have a word with our group before letting her go to you." The man nodded and turned around letting us talk amongst ourselves. We formed into a huddle and looked towards Hoag.

"You're really not going to make them take me? Are you?" I asked.

"Of course not in this moment we need to pretend like we are discussing a release of you or not. But we need to discuss an escape route." Hoag whispered controlling.

"How about we just give her to him? No one cares about her life. It'll be one less soul to lug around." Triffid remarked.

"That'll never happen she's too important to us. To me." Bode looked at me with sincerity in his eyes. I can't believe it. He actually wants me to stay. Can't blame him.

"Bode is right. She is one of the two prophecies to save the world." Hoag nodded in confirmation.

"Umm why can't we just decline his offer?" Mayall suggested.

"No, they would definitely take it more violently." Hoag responded.

"Hold up, why not we just take him out. We can handle him." Triffid reassured. We all kind of nodded in agreement. The man looked as if inpatient so we had to think of something. We all got out of the huddle and decided to knock him out. Pleadies was awfully quiet. But I'm pretty sure he was fine with the offer. Triffid stepped up and tapped the man on the shoulder.

"Excuse me sir but would you like some of this-" Triffid punched the man in the face. The man dropped to the ground and signaled to someone in the background. I felt someone touch my shoulders and take me to the guy. I looked back and it was Pleadies. Why would he do this? He was so high up in power. He was a traitor. I saw Bode run up and tackle the guy but the man already had gotten up and pushed him aside. They dragged me in the car and I heard the engine roar. I looked out the window crying trying to open the door. But it was too late.
