Under Arrest (Multiship)

~Chapter 50~

Still sick but couldn't care less =)

--- Dream's POV ---

The grip they had on me was paining my arms. However, when they pushed me towards the light, I could see who was in front of me clearly. I could see the distinct lavender eyes, exactly matching Nightmare's own eye colour. So this was what they were talking about. This person in front of me was our father, whom we've never met in our life. 

"Do you know them?" I heard the man said darkly to the President. I saw the President in front of a secretary who was holding their child. I looked at the expression on his face but it was unreadable. By years of experience, I could tell that he was in a state of shock.

"I...I," he stuttered as he was rudely interrupted by the man. 

"Ok, let's cut the bullshit. You know the real reason why I am here," he hissed as our 'dad' jumped in surprise.

"What?" he questioned as he extended an arm to protect the secretary behind him. 

"I want control of your government, all your royalties and I want to be deemed the next President of this country," he listed a few orders as our 'dad' managed to make a serious face at him. 

"You can't. That's against the law," he shouted at him.

"Well guess what? I'm changing that," he continued as he pulled out a gun. I thought for a second that he was going to shoot it and I was thrashing around to make them lose grip on me. However, that wasn't the case when he pointed the gun straight at Nightmare's head, making him freeze completely still.

"Don't you dare," our dad said seriously as the man just chuckled.

"Please, please don't hurt him," I pleaded as the man looked over at me. 

"Don't worry child. He won't get hurt unless your father complies with the rules I've set him," he snarled as he pushed the gun, emphasising how Nightmare was in a dangerous situation.

--- Ink's POV ---

The ride was stressful and since it was my first time on one, I always wished I could see the view. Unfortunately, with what's currently happening now, my mind isn't calming down. Error looked over at me with an unimpressed look on his face, clearly, the situation was not affecting him as much.

"How are you this calm?" I exclaimed through the microphone as Error heard it clearly. 

"Rule one of being a criminal. Stay calm or else you panic and everything goes wrong," he explained as I saw Dust nod in agreement. 

"Yeah, right-," I was cut off from the ringtone that I could barely hear from the whirring of the helicopter. I picked up my phone to see it was a call from the boss at my work. 

"Hey Blue! How do I connect my phone to the headset?" I shouted as I saw Blue wince. 

"Just clip in the wire that's next to you!" He replied as he pointed quickly at the wire that was dangling behind me.  I grabbed it I clipped it onto my phone and headset, quickly answering it before it ran out of time. 

"Hey!" I stuttered out in hope that I pressed it in time.

"Ink! Where are you?" he replied frantically. 

"I'm...uh probably 25,000 feet in the air and on my way to the White House..." I muttered, hoping he wasn't mad at me for missing several days. 

"You are?! News has spoken that the White House has been taken over and all the people are held hostage!" he replied hastily.

"He already got there?!"

"Apparently so. I know this mastermind ever since I joined the police force myself! He hires people internationally to work for him. I've had a friend of mine who managed to escape that devil!" Something then clicked.

"Wait, how do you know who I am talking about?" I asked in concern.

"It's all over the news. This criminal sent out a video explaining how he was in charge!" I relaxed a bit, however, I was very worried about the three of them. 

"White House in sight!" I heard Blue over the telecom. 

"Welp. Got to go. Could you send us some more info on this guy? We've searched but ended up with not a lot," I asked.

"Sure do. Have some reports kept from a while ago. They're pretty old though..."

"Anything is fine! Just send them to us quickly!" I responded as the phone hung up.

"Hey Blue! Land the helicopter far away from the White House!" I heard Dust speak as the rest of the group turned to look at him. 

"What? Why?" Lust asked.

"You all are idiots. We could easily get shot down from the sky and that place is heavily guarded even before they took over!" Dust flailed his hands in the air.

"Then where should I land?" Blue questioned quickly. Error looked through the window, obviously searching for a landing site. I saw his eyes dart around the area before his eye-socket widened a little.

"Found one 3 o'clock," he stated as Blue managed to turn the helicopter right, setting his eyes on a small patch of green land, perfect enough for the helicopter to land. After a few turns there and then, Blue landed the helicopter. I got out first, noticing some of the distressed citizens who were still in shock on what had happened. 

"Alright come on!" I gestured the rest to come out as some citizens ran off.

"It's ok! We're the police department from New York!" Lust said as he showed his ID. Some of them calmed down while others were still wary of us. 

"So, what's da plan brah?" Fresh asked as he hopped off the helicopter.

--- Secretary's POV ---

I huddled in the corner of the President's office, holding my child protectively. Fear drowned me as I realised that my eldest son was around here with my wife. I sure hope he's safe and away from these people. 

"Dad...?" I heard my youngest son speak quietly. 

"Yes, kiddo?" I whispered as I saw the intruder along with another skeleton wearing a long red scarf that went all the way down his back.

"Is Decans going to be ok?" he responded.

"I'm sure he managed to get himself somewhere safe..." I responded.

"So, are you done with your bullshit?" I heard a demented voice from above. I looked up to see the same skeleton, his eye-light bright crimson red. I didn't say a word as he smirked, leaving back to the intruder.

I held my son tightly, praying that Decans made it out safely.
