Chapter2.

You walked behind Elizabeth as Booker leads the way down the stairs. You heard yells fro the man but didn't pay much mind. Instead you was busy looking at the surroundings. That was until you got down and saw two people get electrocuted. You stepped in front of Elizabeth and held her behind you for a moment until Booker steadily walked forward and you stayed close to him. Then the man snapped at Booker and you grabbed ahold of Bookers shoulder "Who are you?!" Cohen exclaimed "Names DeWitt." Booker stated flatly and you pulled him back a little "Is that rightt..?" He asked as you pulled him backwards "My...this one is a real biscuit." You glared when he pointed his finger at Booker. "Isn't he a biscuit ladies?" He asked and they all laughed "I had a few questions for you." Booker mutters "Questions..Yes. Yes. It is the work of man to ask. It is the work of the artist to answer." Elizabeth pulls out the photo "You've seen this girl haven't you?" You held onto Bookers shoulder tightly "We artist see more than most. You're more than you clam to be little songbird. Are you not?" You raised a brow "Songbird..?" You whispered to yourself and the artist turned to you two "Watch this one DeWitt. She'll take you where you don't want to go. But I know the child in that photo is important to you. So many children flit flit away." You seemed to hate this man. You clenched your jaw tightly "This man makes me sick." You growl under your breath and Booker grabbed your wrist with his other hand. You calmed yourself after that "I know where the girl is," he said in a whisper "and I will send you to her! In exchange. All I ask is a dance." Your eyes widen "What?" You and Booker both asked confused "I see something in you two. Art-" you looked to Booker and let your hand slip from his. "Cohen you son of a bitch.." "Mister DeWitt." You both looked to Elizabeth "What?" He growled "Dance with me." She held out her and and you frowned. A pain in your heart. That is all it was.

You thought you had no feelings for Booker. But when you watched them dance you was overwhelmed with jealousy. Pain entered your heart and you wanted to cry. You held a hand on your chest.

Then just like that "Listen we're not going to keep-" Cohen screamed something and they was electrocuted. You emedently rushed to the side and entered the water. Everymove you made stung but you had enough strength to catch Elizabeth. You held one eye shut tight while the other looked at Cohen "You are stronger than you appear..I am surprised." You could feel your clothes tearing. Then you fell to your knees and held Elizabeth with all your strength "But even the strongest have a weakspot my dear. DeWitt is-" everything turned black.

You awoke to Booker and Elizabeth standing over you. You sat up and looked around "Where..?" You used the seat to pull yourself up. You stumbled but Elizabeth and Booker caught you. You held onto them tightly before a voice came in-

"Pain and Beauty! To an artist they are parent and child."

"Cohen?"

"I'm sending you three to find your...young one. No need to thank me."

His voice cut back in..

"I'm not so sure you'll like what you'll find."

Silence.

You three watched as the scene changed.

"Look." Elizabeth said as she pointed out a building "Fontaines." Booker stated "Ryan sent the whole thing to the bottom." He added. "But it's a prison now. Why would Cohen have sent Sally there?" You finally got the strength to stand up right "Art." You say flatly and Booker chimbed in "High art."

"Everyone has needs. I have provided service to thoughs who pay. You'll find your little bird in the house wears department."

"How many people do you suppose Ryan's got locked up in that place?" Elizabeth asked as she peeked out the glass window "Dozens. If not more.." You say. "Enough. Fontain had mass enough near an army." Booker stated and you nodded "Yeah. Now they're all spliced up and wild. Amazing how they still are alive.." You say and Booker looked to you before looking back. "There's a dock up ahead." You say pointing "Takes a cold son of a bitch to do that to a living person.." Elizabeth stated flatly and you almost laughed "What's that?" Booker asked and Elizabeth answered, "Burial at sea." "You read your residency-" you began to feel dizzy but shook it off "Miss (Name).. Are you alright?" Elizabeth asked and you swallowed "Yeah I'm fine..just a little dizzy is all. I'll be fine." You shrug it off and she turned back around.

The glass door opened and you all exited. You pulled out your hand cannon and reloaded it while Booker did the same "Alright. Don't get to comfortable." He said as he looked around "Who would? Let's find Sally and get the hell outta here. This place gives me the chills.." You say as you move a strand of hair from your eyes. "There seems to be some supplies this way mister DeWitt." You looked to Elizabeth as if she had fucked up a bomb or something. "It's Booker." He stated and she raised a brow "What..?" She asked in confusion "Just call me Booker." He said annoyed already. "It's all the same to you. Let's leave it at Mister DeWitt." She growled and you laughed "What's so funny?" He asked and you shook your head while walking away. You and Booker looked around until he found a Skyhook.

"Could come in handy." He said wit a grin "Skyhook." You say smiling at him "What? You mean the air grabber? Kids use em to ride around on the lines." You rolled your eyes and crossed your arms "I know this mister DeWitt." You tease and he glared. He walked around and gets a jump then he mutters "Damn air grabbers stuck." "Mister DeWitt look! Someone's coming!" You looked up at Booker "B-Booker! Hold on!" You call out as you panic.
