Endangered Ch. 04

"I can't just let them take you," Lillian hissed, watching the dragon get on his knees with his hands behind his head.

The commandos were advancing very cautiously.

"And how will the deaths of the team sent to collect me help my situation? I'll look after myself and maybe we can figure out what the fuck is going on. We don't have any other choice."

"But..." Lillian started.

"Go. Now," Chris whispered.

They were almost on him. Lillian stepped back, watching as a woman came forward and put thick cable ties around his wrists behind his back. As if they would hold a dragon. He was right though, she couldn't just kill all these men; it would spark a huge investigation. So reluctantly, Lillian retreated to the woman's bathroom to collect Susan.

"Christopher Baryst, you're under arrest for conspiracy to commit terrorism," said the olive skinned woman before lowering her voice. "I won't bother reading the rest of your rights. I doubt they actually apply to you, anyway."

Chris didn't say anything, just relaxed himself as they slipped a black hood over his face and dragged him up roughly. Someone came out of the bathroom saying that Susan wasn't there.

The woman cursed quietly. "Where is she?"

Chris smiled under his hood, "As if I'd tell you."

He expected to be hit or something, instead he was marched off. He sent out his senses, gathering any information he could as they led him back through one of the doors they'd come through. Down several hallways to a brief stop where the woman and man who were obviously in charge informed someone that his cooperation was much appreciated.

They loaded him into some sort of van, putting a linked bracelet and ankle cuff set on him and attaching it to several bolts in the floor, strapping him into his seat as well with wire mesh reinforced straps.

Chris felt and heard the other humans in the van with him; the woman who'd cuffed him and the man who appeared to be her partner, as well as two of the tactical guys, and someone driving. He thought about making a move now that they were more secluded but realized he had no idea what was outside the vehicle as it sped away.

He couldn't afford to screw this up, especially with the Secret held in the balance. Although, given the woman's little jib about his rights, he doubted the Secret was as intact as Beings believed it to be.

Just how much did these humans know about him? And who the hell were they?

Feel like you're hanging off a cliff? That's the whole point, sorry.

I'm not entirely sure when the next one will be coming, I've had a change of employment which leaves me with very little free time. Sorry for the wait, I hope you enjoyed it.
