He was twitching in the chair as he glared at forward at the air. The awkward smile had turned to barred teeth, growling like an animal, his nostrils flared as even his breathing showed his anger. Brendon found himself unable to look away like the man had just a hour or two ago been unable stop screaming about the Youngbloods. Normally when Brendon was finished with re-education the person's face showed an artificial happiness he caused or no emotions, not this. He didn't even seem human. But his genes had been manipulated to the point he probably would not be considered a person before Brendon was even born. That didn't stop Brendon from being disturbed by it. Almost in a fearful way, even though the man was strapped to the chair. But then again, it makes sense to fear the unnatural. The man who apparently didn't walked into the chapel and remarked "Now there's the Stump I remember," with a smirk.

He acted like this was the most normal thing in the world, easing Brendon to briefly forget his previous thoughts and excitedly tell the Doctor Man "I can't believe I got to work on Patrick Stumph himself!"

"And you did wonderfully Brendon," he said with a smile "But about the hand?"

Brendon gulped, not wanting to remember it. The way the man ignored the actual person with a knife and chose to scream at Brendon instead. "We tried to use a standard handcuff key to get the briefcase but it wasn't effective so Mama decide to use an, um, cruder method," He said, shivering slightly.

"Crude but effective, where is you 'Mother' now?"

"She is following a lead from one of the spies who believes he knows the location of the youngest Toro brother, sir."

"Good, have you been enjoying your new position."

"I'll have to admit Mr. Stumph was very headstrong but nothing I couldn't handle, especially after the hand was removed. Um, in fact the most tedious part was retrieving Mr. Stumph."

"Do you think you could retrieve another target?"

"I prefer to stay in my field and let the fetchers bring in new..." He trailed off when he saw that the Doctor Man wasn't asking. "I suppose so sir."

"Atta' boy, Brendon," The Doctor Man winked, "You're doing amazing things for the sake of humanity."

"It's my pleasure, sir," Brendon lied. To the Doctor Man and himself.
