Chapter 2 - Mystery Agency

"How did you get in? Identify yourself. Tell us, now!" The footsteps got closer.

"I... Please do not harm me... w-where is Rhys?... I do not know where I am... I can't see... I-.. I was being held-..." Andy tremble as a cold barrel pressed itself to the side of his head "RHYS! Where is he??"

"What are you talking about? There is no one here called Rhys." the crowd starts to whisper around to each other, Andy' heart races.

———

"HAWL!! Come back here you!" Rhys Scottish accent is heavy as he panics more and is still chasing after the mysterious person in black, who then tosses a small blue grenade at the criminal.

"IS THAT A BOMB??? ARE YOU MAD?!" Rhys immediately stops and ducks to the ground putting his arms over his ears and head, waiting for the grenade to go off.

"ACK" A loud thud could be heard and the criminal was on the floor with blue glowing ropes tied around him, grunting. Rhys quickly jerked up in confusion from the grenade bursting into a rope trap.

"H.. Ho-.. How..?.. did you do that?!" The mystery man slightly glanced at rhys, picking up the broken pieces of his grenade. "EDG Tech." The man said. "What's EDG?..."

"Elite Defense Group, we protect the innocents-"

"Then why did you take my brother?!"

The man sighed, "That... wasn't meant to happen..."

"Bring him back then."

"It's not that simple... he took my only teleporter." The man paused thinking for a moment. "He might be at the base- if he was lucky... Otherwise he could be halfway across the city..."

"What?..." Rhys froze.

"c'mon, I'll show you." The man reached out to Rhys, helping him up, going over to the criminal who was squirming on the floor trying to break free from the ropes, puts him over his shoulder and started to walk off with Rhys following him behind.

Andy had felt a tight grip around his arm, pushing himself onto his feet. shaking in place, wondering what will happen next. "w...where am i?..."

before anyone could speak, Andy had dropped the tpr device he had in his hand.

The person holding him had short blonde hair that was briefly brushed to the side, wearing a yellow/orange tactical jacket with yellow boots and a black scarf wrapped around his neck, quickly picked up the device. His eyes widen in realization, "Did you steal this?? well??" the blond shook Andy who just trembled in fear but was able to answer back.

"NO! I didn't.. i..it .. I don't kn..ow.. how i got it.."

"BULLSHIT!! How can you not know when you take something?! Do you think I'm stu-..ACK" A short woman was behind the man who had him by his ear.

"That's enough Zach! Do not you see that the kid is blind. Maybe we should hear him out, he clearly doesn't know what THAT is or does he not understand what happened."

"hmph... fine..." Zach lets go of Andy but stays near him so that he does not try to run away from them. "And way to go and giving my name away..." Zach mumbles under his breath" "stupid shorty Price..."

The girl gives him a slight glare leaning her hand over a pistol holster on her waist, Zach turns the other way from her. She shakes her head and sighs, turning back to Andy. "hello?" She reassures Andy by slowly touching his shoulder gently, Andy jumps slightly but slowly calms down.

"w..who are you people?..." Andy blindly looks over the direction of the touch on his shoulder. The girl quickly scans at his eyesight and nodding of reassurance of his blindness.  "My name is Ruby Price, you are safe don't worry, but can you tell us who you are and tell us what you remember last hearing?"

"My name is.. Andy... Andrew Pandy. I just came out of an orphanage with my brother Rhys... then... we were attacked... and then another man had appeared and seemed to be helping us... last thing I remember was being tossed and grabbing onto something... and then it feels as if.... I had teleported?... the flooring is different... wh...where am I?..."

"EDG, HQ." Zach says quickly.

"EDG?... Head Quarters?... what?..." 

Ruby turns to Zach with another glare and sighs frustratingly, turning back to Andy. "Well... it's meant to be a secret organization, but you will need to know this since you are here..."

---------

Back to the man with the criminal on his back and Rhys walking to EDG HQ, Rhys asking question after question and The mans expression can be noticeable of annoyance and sheer boredom. 

"So, basically you guys are a secret agency who sworn to protect the lives of innocents? Like the heroes in the comic books? That's fucking awesome!"

The man's face expression drops as the constant questions keep coming up by Rhys, "yea, kid... something like it..."  The criminal on his back chuckles mockingly at the man carrying him, the man punches him in the side of his guts, knocking him out cold.

Rhys eyes widen slightly from the action and has a large smile on his face, he quickly glances at the man and another question comes to his mind as his face glows with joy. "Oh! One question I haven't asked yet, who..who are you?"

"you know... that's probably your best question so far..." He would smirk as he would make his body standing up straight fixing his Goldie blond quiff of hair "Names Agent Yearn...Blake Yearn, I hate my agent name..."   As he says with a chuckle, slowly squinting his eyes on a building with a sign saying, "Phone Agency".

"Ah... here we are... HQ... get ready kid... you're in for a surprise..."

Rhys exaggerates and sighs loudly at him, "Finally!... we have been walking for an hour... sheesh... I thought we'd never get there..."

Blake gives him a slight glare and thinks, "is this kid for real?". He then sighs, pulling out a small black wallet, flipping through his cards and takes out a black card of a Golden badge on it that says "EDG", Blake walks over to an empty wall and a panel appears in front of him.

"Get ready, kid. This is something you're never going to forget..."   Rhys nods in confusion but as he does so, a hidden wall appears and turns into a doorway, slowly opening.

Story continues into Chapter 3.
