Distressed

ch 4; the clock tower

It was time for bed. And time to leave the house if he wants to meet up Morbius in time.
But he didn't dare to ask permission from his parents to go out.
Especially not, when he is about to meet a stranger he had got to know, the few hours, earlier that day.
Since he didn't want to risk his parents would hear him trying to sneak out from the house during the night, he opens his window and starts climbing on the big tree who stands outside his window.
It wasn't an easy task, but soon he reaches the ground and starts moving quickly against the clock tower who is nearby the classroom Dr.connor is using during his courses.
 
Amadeus is looking confused around the clock tower, outside.
He starts circulating the building, trying to find Michael.
When he cannot see the gothic man, he takes up his phone and is looking at the time. It almost midnight.
Morbius should be there by now.
A quick thought of being tricked, hits him.
Amadeus swallow hardly and gives his phone a squeeze.
Then he shakes his head and is looking against the entrance to the clock tower.
He hasn't checked the inside yet. There are no point in seeing himself as defeated, before he has at least checked inside. And give Morbius at least some more time, in case something have happened to him.
Amadeus inhales and put his phone into his pocket in his black coat.
If Micheal show up today, he must ask him after his phone number.
Everything is easier with knowing each others phone number.
Amadeus opens the heavy door and starts walking upstairs.
When he reaches the top floor he gasps.

He sees Morbius standing in the darkness with a neutral face while some bats are circulating above him.
  Amadeus feels how his legs seem getting jelly of seeing the mysterious man. The most handsome man he had seen in his life.
Yeah, Flash is looking good. But not this handsome, pretty, yummy as Morbius does.
Micheal is an eye candy Amadeus cannot get tired of.
A sweet, yet sour candy.
A well-trained, beefy man Amadeus want to throw himself into his arms and get protected from the dangerous world.
Suddenly Micheal notices he has got company, and shoots a smile against Amadeus. A smile who aimed in his heart and make his legs almost lost their last strength and force him to kneel down. But only almost.
"Hi, I was wondering when you would show up" Morbius says.
Amadeus wets his lips and is looking nervously around.
"I...I wasn't sure where we would meet up... if it was outside or inside the clock tower.." he says honestly and is looking confused at the bats.
" are those Desmodus Rotundus?" Amadeus asks curiously.
Micheal nods.
"Yes they are... these vampire bats are a part of our project. I took them with me from my home country. .. sadly, some of them have escape their cage, but I will catch them later" Micheal says and is looking up, at the bats who are still flying around.
"And you were allowed to take them to New York from your home country? Isn't there some law against taking in other species? You can destroy the ecosystem by bring them here" amadeus says nervously.
" And... isn't there a risk they will attack human if they can't find other prey?..." he adds and didn't want the risk of getting bitten by these animals.
Micheal shakes his head laughing.
"Don't worry Amadeus... I'm feeding them with blood... they won't attack you" Morbius says and make Amadeus to exhale relieved.
"Good to know..." he says while his eyes are darting around in the dark room.
He raises his eyebrows.
"Aren't those machines Dr.connors?" He asks when he sees some devices and walks over there.
Morbius walks after him and stands behind him and put a hand on Amadeus's shoulder.
"Yes they are..."
Amadeus blinks confused and is looking backward over his shoulder.
"And he let you use them?" He asks surprised.
Micheal chuckles and walks over to a computer and starts tapping on it.
"Let say; what you doesn't know, won't hurt you" he answers.
Amadeus wides his eyes.
"You stole them?!" He asks upset.
"No!" Micheal says and is looking at Amadeus.
"I just borrow them... I will give them back when we have finished our project..."
Amadeus is looking down on his hands and starts intertwining his fingers nervously.
"Can I count on you as my partner?" Micheal asks.
Amadeus is looking up from his hands, on Micheal.
Looking into his ice blue eyes.
And feels how his heart is melting by those eyes.
He sighs.
"Okay... but! I do not like the idea you took them without permission" he says and walks against Micheal.
Michael nods.
"Sorry... I will take the blame if someone is reveling us"
"Thanks..." Amadeus says before these two starts working on their secret project.
