Chapter 38: Captured by D.H.O.R.K.S
Time has passed, and Moxxie and Millie are both at the very same coffee shop Blitz has been earlier. After discovering Blitz hasn't arrived, the others begin searching for him and the couple decide to wait at the shop in case Blitz comes back. They both soon hear footsteps from different directions. From one direction, Drew and Berry rush over while Randall and Razor rush over from the opposite direction.
When they arrive, Moxxie asks, "Did you find him?"
"No. We couldn't find him. We looked all over," Razor says.
"And no one has seen him," Randall answers.
Then Berry says, "We talked to Blitz's Uncle Matt and his cousin, Candy. According to them, Blitz left the circus with Mimmy a few hours hours ago."
"And they couldn't get a hold of him either. They're going to try to find Blitz because this isn't like him at all," Drew adds.
He places his hand under his chin, "It doesn't make sense. It's not like Blitz to not answer his phone, or notify us where he is."
"Where's Loona?" Randall asks.
"She's in the coffee shop asking the employees. Moxxie and I decided to wait out here in case he comes by," Millie says.
And right on cue, Loona walks out of the store and is holding something in his hand.
"Anything Loona?" Berry asks.
"Alright the employee said that Blitz came here earlier to buy himself a coffee and walk out. So we can be sure that Blitz was definitely here to meet us," Loona says.
"Did they see anything else?" Berry asks.
"Unfortunately, they didn't see anything, but they do have security footage around the area. The audio is kind of busted so we can't hear it, but we can see it clearly," Loona says.
She then brings out her phone, "And trust me, this is seriously bad."
Everyone looks to see Loona playing the recording of Blitz, in his human disguise, along with Mimmy walking out of the coffee shop when he ends up meeting the two agents from earlier. Blitz becomes shocked and runs in the alley nearby with the two agents on his tail. Another footage shows Blitz running down the alley with the agents behind. Moments later, there's a strange light and signs of electricity. Then moments later, they see the two agents walkin down the alley with Blitz, who is now unconscious and in his demon form. And the last footage shows the two agents taking Blitz out of the alley and placing him in their truck before climbing inside themselves. However, they are not aware that Mimmy has followed and sneak in.
Of course, seeing what has happened to Blitz is a complete shock.
"Oh shit," Randall says.
"Blitz has been kidnapped," Berry says, shocked.
"Yeah. I've decided to check the alley in the back and I definitely picked up Blitz and Mimmy's scent in the alley, and was able to pick the scent of those two dirtbags," Loona says.
Then presents her closed hand, "And look what the other employee found in the alley behind the store."
She then opens her hand to reveal Blitz's red skull choker and the pearl bracelet..
Millie gasps in shock, "It's Blitz's choker!"
"And his mother's bracelet," Drew says, shocked.
"Blitz never goes anywhere without them," Berry says.
"And it's worse to see Mimmy went inside of that truck to go after those guys," Berry says.
"Well, it's known that some housepets can sense signs of trouble, especially when their owner's involved. Mimmy must have realized that Blitz is in trouble and decide to follow them," Razor says.
"Guys, I have a bad feeling about those guys," Moxxie says, worried.
"No kidding. Those two weirdos in suits just kidnapped Blitz and Mimmy decided to go after them alone," Randall says.
"But what do those guys want with Blitz?" Berry asks, worried.
"And how the fuck did they managed to get Blitz out of human disguise for that matter?" Millie asks.
"Unless we're not dealing with normal people," Razor says.
"You're right," Drew says, "They might be humans involved in sighting paranormal activity."
"You mean demon hunters?" Millie says, shocked.
"That's what it's starting to look like. They must have some device that could allow them to see Blitz in his human disguise and be able to capture demons," Razor says.
"But how are we going to find Blitz? We don't know where they could have taken him," Berry says, worried.
Then Loona says, "I have an idea."
She lifts the choker and bracelet close to her face and gives it a long sniff. Then she places it in her back pocket and sniffs on the ground.
She then turns to her right and says, "It sounds like those agents have taken him this way. Come on, let's find Blitz before those fuckers do something to him."
And with that, the group rushes down the sidewalk with Loona taking the lead.
Meanwhile, Blitz slowly begins to wake up from his consciousness. He starts by slowly opening his eyes and still in a dazed state. Suddenly, he quickly opens his eyes to find himself in some room. He looks around to see cameras on the ceiling at different corners of the room. Two large doors on one wall, and a large window on the wall of his left side.
"Wha-what is this place?" Blitz asks himself, growing nervous.
He soon looks down to find his arms tied behind his back and he is tied to the chair, and his ankles are tied together and a rope attaching them to one of the legs to the chair, and his tail is braided by two chains and all wrapped and locked around a large round rock. Blitz struggles to break free, but to no avail.
Suddenly, Agent Two steps in and shines a light to Blitz' face, "Finally awaken, huh, little fella. You've been out for quite a while now."
"Well uh, I didn't expect for me to be chased by people wearing sunglasses who are dressed like FBI agents, and ask about demons and all that and well..." Blitz says and nervously chuckles with a smile.
Then Agent Once shines the light brighter at him.
Then Agent One interrogates, "Tell us, demon. Who do you work for? Satan?"
Then Agent Two grabs the light again, and presses the question, "How did you and your pals get to our world from the afterlife?"
"Why are they killing humans?" Agent One demands.
"When did you show up here? "Agent Two demands.
"Uh okay, I'm starting to feel uneasy about this. I just woke up from a nasty shock after you two chased me, so I'm still feeling a bit woozy after that. And I still have no clue what's going on," Blitz, trying to be brave in his situation, but still a little scared.
"Maybe, but you are here and while in this building, you are at our mercy. So you'll be following our rules," Agent One says.
"And we can also resort to torture methods to get answers out of you," Agent Two adds.
"Uh, Physical or psychological," Blitz asks, arching his eyebrow.
"Hmm, you don't seem to act like a demon, especially seeing that you've been living in a circus among humans." Agent One says, scratching his chin.
"Wait, how do you know that?" Blitz asks, confused.
"We did our research, Blitzo Abercrombie," Agent Two says and opens a folder of Blitz's files.
"Oh," Blitz replies.
She opens the files and says, "According to the file, you were found in a forest of the Aurora Woodlands in the middle of winter years ago by Lucy Abercrombie, and was adopted by her and her husband Charlies Abercrombie, one of the former Ring Masters of the Cirque De Eccentrical. And had two other children, Malcolm and Maria," and flipped the pages of the files.
Then says, "You lived with that family and on the road with the circus for years, along with your Uncle Matt who is the Co-Ringmaster and Magician, along with his wife, Lily, and their children, Tim, then the twins, Andy and Candy, until the uh incident from thirteen years ago. And then years later... your mother, who was one of them to survive, passed on due to an cancer and after the damages the incident has caused.''
Blitz sadly sighs, "Yeah. I remember the incident. A little too well."
"Uh yeah. The incident that ended up being caused by uh, you know. A businessman who was trying to buy the circus, Robert Wayne." Agent One adds.
"Uh yeah. Still, what happened still hurts. Do you know what it's like to have your family gone?" Blitz says, sadly.
"Uh he does. His mom is actually uh, you know, dead," Agent Two replies, and Agent One begins to shed tears.
"Oh, I am so sorry to hear that," Blitz says, feeling bad and understanding.
Outside of the building, with the sign that spells D.H.O.R.K.S. is where Blitz is being held captive. There are two guards at front holding weapons, guarding the entrance. The group sticks their heads out from the side to see the building.
"This where he ended up?" Millie asks.
"I think so," Loona says.
"Fuck, this looks intense," Drew says.
"D.H.O.R.K.S?" Randall reads the sign.
He stifles his laughter as he covers his mouth, "Who the fuck would name a company that? Why that name for all reason? Are those guys really dorks or fuckin morons?"
"Easy Randall, these guys look like they take their work seriously," Razor says, and stifles a chuckle.
"Right right, sorry," Randall says, and stops laughing.
"Still, how do we really know Blitz is even here," Moxxie says.
Suddenly, they hear a call, "Meow. Meow. Meow."
The group hears a familiar meow and rushes over to see Mimmy who is scratching her claws against the back door of the building.
"It's Mimmy!" Moxxie says, shocked.
The group rushes over.
Millie calls out, "Mimmy, come here girl!"
Mimmy turns to see Millie and the others and waits until they arrive at the door.
"Meow Meow Meow Meow!" Mimmy continues to cry as she scratches the door.
"If I have to take a guess, I'm guessing this is where Blitz ended up," Razor says.
"Razor's right, Mimmy followed the guys who took Blitz here into their truck. My guess is that Mimmy isn't able to get inside after those creeps went into the building with Blitz," Loona says, "But still, these guys look intense. How are we going to get in?"
"And get around without them noticing us," Berry adds.
"I think I have an idea," Drew says.
Everyone gathers in a circle and begins to whisper to each other. When Drew finishes, the group nod their heads in reply.
Drew turns to Loona and asks, "Loona, can you lift Randall and Millie to the vent?"
Without a word, Loona gives Randall a boost and opens the air vent with ease. Then helps Millie climb inside. In a matter of seconds, Randall and Millie open the air vent from the inside. In not much time, Millie is able to open the back door allowing them to enter from the inside. Berry picks up Mimmy and places her in her backpack for safe keeping.
Meanwhile, Randall uses his invisibility power to walk around the building unseen. There, he sees a group of guards. Randall then evil smirks to see the guards. The guards serve the area as they make sure no one unannounced is walking around. Suddenly, one of the guards is attacked and pushed away from the crowd. Then another one ends up getting attacked and disappears. The rest of the group bring out their weapons, which are from Japan's Edo period for some reason. Just then, something coils around one of the guard's neck. Thrown across the hall and knocked into the others. Just then, Something grabs hold of their legs one at a time and is thrown into the closet like a sack of potatoes. Then the door is slammed shut.
After a few minutes, the door opens and Randall walks out, visible and holding a pile of clothes.
He turns to the closet and says, "Thanks for letting me use your clothes. Don't go anywhere. Not that you're alive to go anywhere anyway."
In the closet, it shows that Randall has stabbed all the guards and stripped them of their clothes, shoes, glasses, and earpiece. All of them are dead and are in their underwear and are covered in their own blood with stab wounds. Then Randall closes the door.
Moments later, Randall returns to the back door and passes the others the guards' clothes.
"There you go. A pile of disguises. Don't worry, make sure to get a few female clothes for you ladies." Randall says.
Drew picks up the black suit jacket, "Nice work, Randall."
"Why do we have to wear these?" Loona questions, picking up a female uniform.
"So we search around the place without standing out, and find Blitz. They'll think we're one of them if we wear these," Drew says.
"Sounds logical. Let's hope we can fool them long enough to find Blitz," Moxxie says.
Sometime later, the group put on the human's uniforms. Some of them do seem a bit big on them, especially Moxxie and Millie.
"Alright, let's go," Razor says.
And with that, the group heads inside and Razor closes the door. Now all they have to do is find Blitz and hope that he's okay.
Back in the interrogation room, Blitz is still trying to find the words to tell Agent One and Two without giving them too much information.
"Still, I really find this an invasion of my private life if you have gotten information about myself and my family. I uh, sorry that your mom died, but I really don't want to talk about the incident with my family that much. It's still rather painful to talk about, even after all these years," Blitz says, and lowers his head in sadness.
"Uh yeah. I kind of understand, but we're not talking about our family situations," Agent One says in tears.
Agent Two comforts him, "Hey, hey, let's just leave him here until he feels like talking."
Then the two agents leave, slamming the door behind them. Once they're gone, Blitz slowly looks around and isn't sure what to think about the situation he's in. To Blitz, it's not as bad as the day he's been badly hurt and has lost his family in the incident with the fire. He tries to remain calm, but deep down, he is very scared and isn't sure what to do. He doesn't want to lie to them, but he doesn't want to expose his friends either. So, he thinks it's best to not say the entire truth.
Unknown to Blitz, Agent One and Agent Two are watching Blitz, from the window that connects to the separate rooms. They've seen the depressed look on Blitz's face.
"Hmm, it seems like that demon is more difficult to crack than I thought. It's like he's being honest, but just isn't telling us the entire truth," Agent One says.
"I agree," Agent Two says, and brings out the folder that is Blitz's files.
He opens it and says, "From what we dug up, he was raised well, good behavior, honest, hard working, and all that. Plsu, he seems like a nice person. Well, he is a demon, but kind all the same. He worked very hard at the circus, and had to remain strong after the incident over ten years ago."
"And he also seems to want to protect his comrades if he refuses to bring up any information," Agent One says.
He then turns to Agent Two, "We'll have to go with an alternative approach."
Agent Two then presses one of the buttons with her fist and it glows green. She removes her hand and the button is labeled, 'Truth Bomb.'
"Yeah," Agent Two answers.
Still trapped in the interrogation room, Blitz continues to struggle to break free from his restraints, but the ropes have him tied tight, and his tails can't slip through the chains.
Blitz struggles as he says in thoughts, "I have to get out of here. I need to get away from these people."
Then something else comes to mind, "But who are they? How did they know so much about me, my family, my friends? Why do they want to know about demons and Hell? The way they're talking, they seem to be aware about the incident at the circus that led to my father, brother, and sister's death, and then years later when my mother died. It's also possible that they're aware of the killings I.M.P's been doing, but who knows how long they're aware of this, and how long they plan to keep me here."
Blitz sighs and says to himself, "This stinks. I'm trapped in this room alone, without the others. I haven't been in this kind of position since what happened with Robert Wayne. I never liked that guy, and it's no secret either... This is worse than the time that Randall snuck me into Stolas mansion when we first met, or the time that he tried to drug me because he thinks it's funny."
Blitz becomes shocked and says, "Why... Why did I say that out of the blue.... I never told anyone about that incident. Nor would I tell Moxxie and Millie about the time that Randall snuck me to a bar and tried to force me to drink high alcohol and get drunk. Berry would kill him if she knew about this."
He sighs and says, "That guy sometimes makes my tail twitch, and I mean with irritation and frustration."
Just then, Blitz begins coughing and hacking. Just then, he notices green gas being emitted into the room.
"What is this...? Some kind of gas?" Blitz asks himself.
Blitz suddenly begins to cough as more smoke is seeping into the room. Suddenly, Blitz begins to feel very dizzy and his head slowly sways left to right.
Blitz shakes his head and wonders, "Is this some kind of truth telling gas...?" He coughs and asks himself, "I thought those things only happen in movies..." and continues to cough.
In the control room, Agent One and Agent Two watch with smirks on their faces as the truth gas is starting to take effect.
"Looks like the Truth Bomb is already doing its work," Agent Once says.
"This is gonna be a good night," Agent Two adds.
Soon, more of the gas is being pumped into the room. Blitz continues coughing the smoke, but some are entering it. Blitz begins to feel more dizzy as the room begins to spin and ripple around. And Blitz suddenly begins to see something in front of him and makes him even more dizzy.
"Wha-what's going on?" Blitz softly asks himself.
He feels the room spinning, "I... I feel so... so dizzy... I... I can't even think... I can't... stay... awake..."
The next moment, the dizziness becomes overwhelming for Blitz and soon on the verge of blacking out.
