Twisted Cogs

Chapter 3

Water

Dr. Christopher stood in the center of a room. The walls were made of tin siding, and the walls were concert. Everything he noted would be easily cleaned with a pressure washer and a bottle of bleach. He honestly believed it probably had multiple times. Samukai wasn't a man you messed with. When he wanted something, his men tended to get it for him at all costs...as of right now he himself was what he wanted. An item had been promised to him, and he had yet to obtain it.

"I was unable to procure you the robot Dr. Samukai." He actually wasn't a doctor at all. A degree gotten from his knife knowledge rather then his schooling. Apparently he was really good with knives.

"Yes...I see that." His voice was low and controlled. But his eyes showed Dr. Christopher that he wasn't to pleased with this.

"But I have gotten something just as good. I got the robots blueprints." He held up his phone.

"Thats a phone..." Samukai said pointing to the large red device.

"Yes it is...but theirs a camera on it." Dr. Christopher started to wonder how technology inclined he was.

"Those aren't blueprints, or a robot I asked for."

"If you'll allow for me to print the blueprints then I can create a robot for you? Me personally."

"You have three days Dr. Christopher. If I do not have what I want...I'll have your head." Christopher felt like his heart was in his throat.

"I um...thank you." He said and turned to walk back out. He realized he had came to this spot via kidnap and forgot that he had no car. He'd have to find his own way home. He sighed and started to walk. Their was a low rumble off in the distance and grey clouds with the promise of hard rain.

"Perfect." He grumbled.

The sky flashed, and a loud crack woke Zane from his sleep. He looked around worried.

"Father?" He whispered looking into the shadows of his room. He quietly and slowly pulled his blanket up to his chin. He felt a stone in his stomach, and the fear kept clawing at his insides. Another flash and a rumble and he was out of bed and into the closet.

It was only a few moments later when the door opened to his bedroom.

"Zane?" Juliens voice called and he looked around the room. The light flipped on and he could see that Zanes bed was empty. "Oh no..." He looked around the room and under the bed. Nothing their. Another crack of lightning and a loud long rumble, a small squeaky scream came from the closet. Julien walked over and opened the door a little. Zane was on his knees his forehead against the floor. His hands over his audios. Julien looked thoughtful at him. Yet another emotion he shouldn't even know about. No ones been afraid around him. Thats when he noticed, the room was incredibly cold. He could see the fog coming from his mouth. He turned the closet light on and he gasped seeing the floor and walls covered in permafrost.

"Zane?" He reached down touching the robot. "Are you hurt?" He asked. Zane jumped when he was touched, He slowly turned his eyes to him. They were no longer the brown he had designed him with, they were an icey blue.

"N...No sir." He gasped turning around hugging Julien around his middle as another crack could be heard.

"Then why are you afraid?" He asked. Zane shook his head.
