Jay froze. That voice.

"Not going to say anything?" The female asked "Or maybe you just don't remember."

A radio crackled to life.

"Chopper inbound, five minutes, over."

The man spoke. "Copy. We have the boy, and we have an extra passenger, it's unprecedented but we stick to the plan. Yvette and I could be detected at any moment. Have you gained air clearance? Over."

"Yes, but we had to say we had a patient. This is going to have to be an in and out mission."

"Copy. We understand. Over and out." The radio was silenced.

Jay wracked his brain. Yvette? Who the heck are these people? I know her from somewhere...

"Stand up." The woman named Yvette said sharply. Jay complied. She turned the gun on Hailey. "You too." Hailey did as she was told.

Jay got his first good look at his captors. Yvette was tall, with dark, tanned skin, with a Black business suit and matching heels. She was holding a black pistol. The man was slightly overweight, and looked like he hadn't shaved in a few days. He wore a formal business suit as well, with a green plaid tie. Jay could not see a gun, but he guessed he had one anyway.

Yvette smiled. "Nice to see you after all this time. "

"Jay." Hailey look fearful. "Who are these people?"

"I don't know." He replied uneasily.

Yvette looked annoyed. "So you don't know me. Maybe this will refresh your memory." She rolled up her sleeve to reveal a tattoo of a cloud filled with black. Anyone else who saw that would think it was just a smudge.

"The Darkness..." Hailey whispered.

The Darkness was a terrorist group, who captured and murdered people for personal affairs or just for fun. They were widely feared, but Jay had never guessed they would come after him.

"It was a while ago I saw you. In fact, we would've had you back then as well, but sadly, the government beat us to it." Yvette explained.

"I don't understand. Why me?" Jay was exasperated.

"Let me clear things up." Yvette rolled her sleeve back down to hide the mark. "Back when  you were seven, you and your parents were involved in a car accident. But it was no accident. It was a cover up to extract you and your parents from the country, because the government was very close to tracking them and taking them for themselves. So we hit them with a car, got to the scene first, took your parents, and replaced them with other bodies we acquired elsewhere. Before we could safely get you out of the car, the police and medical staff arrived. And we had to leave before we were discovered."

"But why did you need them?"

"They were involved with something you could never understand. Our world is corrupt, and your parents knew this, and wanted to change it. They wanted you to see the light. But sometimes to get to the light, you have to become the darkness."

The sound of the chopper grew louder at the massive flying machine circled the building, coming to a landing. The wind from the blades whipped Jay's hair around.

"Get on." She pointed the pistol at Jay and Hailey, waving it between the two when they didn't move right away. "Now!" She snarled. Jay grabbed Hailey's hand and headed to the door that was pushed open by yet another in a suit. Trying to ignore the wind and the roar of the rotor, Jay boarded the aircraft, pulling Hailey on behind him.

Yvette followed them on, just as three doctors and two nurses burst out of the roof access door.

"Did you lock the doors?" Yvette yelled up to the first man, who was sitting co-pilot.

"No."

"Shit!" She whipped the door shut. "Go!" She screamed at the pilot. The motor grew louder as Jay felt the sensation of rising into the air. Yvette handed him and Hailey a pair of headphones with a microphone suspended in front.  He put it on gratefully.

The chopper soared into the sky, and Jay heard a voice in his ear.

"Nice to see you." Jay looked at the man across him. "It's been too long my boy."

Andy Sager smiled.
