The Lieutenant in the red uniform moved through the halls, nodding and smiling to a few faces here and there as he made his way to the Science Lab where he knew, thanks to GALEN, that Lieutenant Alexis Bonner was working alone at the moment. Approaching the door, he ran a device over the access control panel and the door opened. He stepped through as the door slid closed and locked behind him.

Alexis didn’t usually work in the main science labs, but they’d needed extra hands for an experiment they were setting up. And she had nothing pressing to do. She was waiting to hear back about the nanites and the tritanium slips were not progressing well. They’d had to completely start the computer programming over from scratch. Everyone had left the lab unnoticed by Alexis, and she was engrossed in reading a medical journal. Hoping to find an answer for a previous patient of hers.

Soulis took in the room at a glance. Various work stations, benches, and such filled the laboratory. In the far back right of the room was the office for the CSO, one Solomon Kane; who Soulis would be getting reacquainted with shortly. The thought spread a grin across his face even as his eyes focused on the lone figure in the room. There, at her station, surrounded by PaDDs and a shimmering field, sat Alexis… his most important asset (whether she wanted to be or not).

She heard the door open and close, she’d look to see who had returned as soon as she finished this paragraph....then she heard the door lock and she thought that was strange, but before she could turn around…

“Hello, my sweet. I hope you are packed and ready. I told you I would be coming for you.” he said, the grin taking on an unmistakable edge of maliciousness.

Soulis, Intel Creep

Icy cold fear and misfired nerves. Let him get close, then stop thinking and start hurting. She didn’t want to do that, but he was already close, just like she told Solomon would happen. Where was Solomon? Where was Frigga? With Solomon, she had gone with Solomon, he was more fun than Alexis. The weight of the ring on her hand was only slightly reassuring, but she was careful not to fidget with it and draw attention. She turned very slowly backing away from Soulis. He looked the same as three years ago, but he didn’t. Gone was the effort to be kind, to sweetly coerce her. He was scary and cruel those months with Intel. But today there was an evil malicious intent about him, all directed at her. She stepped away again and shook her head. The more she refused him the faster he’d want to prove her wrong. “I’m not going anywhere with you.” And she reached for her combadge to alert security of an intruder.

Bonner

Soulis smiled and said “Go ahead… call for help. Call Security. OH NO WAIT! Call Solomon… yes… call him.” and he walked towards her. “He and I have much to discuss. Oh… but I don’t think that comm badge is going to work. I spiked the computer, you see. Your comms won’t work anywhere. So you see…” and an arm shot forward and grabbed her wrist hard. “You are coming with me or you are going to feel everything you fear. Then I will com back and get your little fruit and have… a word… with Mr. Kane. Oh, you will be quite asleep, don’t worry. But I’ll record what happens to him… so you won’t have to wonder.” and he yanked her to him and pressed on the wrist band he wore and…

Nothing.

He stared at Alexis for a moment in confusion and then pressed again. Still nothing. “Wha… what did you do?” he said through gritted teeth as his face turned an ugly shade of red.

Soulis

It was the absolute hardest thing Alexis had ever had to make herself do - allow him to grab her. Oh he’d got ahold of her plenty of times, but there was a difference between not being able to stop him and not stopping him. Her eyes watered as he squeezed her wrist hard enough to bruise. She twisted her wrist trying to line up the smallest part with where his finger and thumb met, to pull her wrist free. She couldn’t stop the rush of adrenaline caused by her fear at his anger. She wanted to ask him for the video so she could watch Solomon beat his a$$, and tell him that she didn’t do anything, Kane did it. That Kane was smarter than her and much more of a man than he was. But she wasn’t sure if that would help her and she was…don’t think, just hurt him

She clawed her free hand across the back of his that held onto her and then grabbed the ring finger and bent it backwards trying to break it in order to get her other hand free. She reached up and scrapped the ribbed rubber sole of her shoe on the inside of his leg from the knee down, pressing hard, scrapping and tearing and cloth and flesh. And then stomping the heel of her shoe into the soft instep of his shoe.

The sudden flury… fury… caught Soulsi off-guard and he yelled as nails scratched and his finger popped out of socket. As the sole scrapped down his leg he screamed again and then cursed loudly.

All the while, she whispered, almost at the subvocal level so the ear bud would pick it up, “Solomon help. He’s in the lab.” And then she pressed close screaming in his ear, she kneed him, stomped on his foot, kicked at the inside of knee, clawed at the soft fleshy part of his neck between throat and clavicle, gouged at his eyes, and then went limp hoping her body weight would throw him off balance.

Bonner

Soulis flinched and struggled to keep his face clear, barely managing to get his eyes out of the way of her fingers; managing only to push her off of him long enough so that as she started to fall, he drove a knee hard into her solar plexus and driving the air from her. He grabbed her by her upper arms and, in his rage , lifted her and threw her over the workbench and onto a stool before she fell to the floor.

He let go of her wrist but it would need medical attention and then she couldn’t breathe. It was like a fire igniting in her chest and sharp pain as she tried to take in breathe to shocked lungs, and her vision went black around the edges from the impact, and then she crashed, landing hard on the stool as it toppled and some felt like it popped. She rolled to the cold floor and she sucked in breath, but there wasn’t enough to speak to make Kane hear her.

“You… you… b!+<h!!!” he yelled and looked at himself to make sure nothing was bloody before grasping his hand and groaning slightly at the dislocated finger. “I… I should kill you for that. But you are lucky I need your brain.” He came around the bench and grabbed her by the hair and pulled her to her feet. Growling into her ear he said “You pull anything like that again… dear… I will kill you. Now I don’t know what you did to stop my transporter. We will address that after we go get your little project. But I suppose now I’ll have to deal with your little boyfriend later. So… point for dear sweet Alexis.” and he shoved her forward. “R&D lab… now. And if you so much as twitch, so help me I will kill the nearest person that isnt you. Got it?! Now go.”

Soulis

Alexis flinched as he growled in her ear, flinching away causing her to jerk her hair in his grip making her eyes water. But let him growl low like that. Solomon was listening, she was certain. Her breath heaved, and she held her arm still with the other, she knew it was hurt, but didn’t feel it yet. He needed her mind....he had no idea what her and Solomon’s minds had waiting for him. She was eager to let him have that tiny orange. Still half bent from being thrown she nodded. She didn’t do anything to his transporter, Kane did. And she couldn’t wait to watch Kane deal with him…

She walked down the corridor, trying walk like she wasn’t hurt to those they passed. Luckily no one spoke to her. She stopped outside the lab door. “I can’t get in genius” was that sarcasm? “You broke my combadge, so the door won’t open.” She really really hoped Kane had some nasty surprise when Soulis hacked the door.

Bonner

Soulis looked around and then pulled a small wand-looking device out of his pocket and waved it over the access control. The door slid open to reveal the R&D lab…

But no Kane.

Where are you? She had to focus, keep her head, but the pain was starting to register and she could not get distracted by it.

“Inside.” and Soulis shoved her through the door. He waved the wand again and the door slid closed and locked. Turning to her, Soulis said “Get the fruit. We’re leaving. And don’t be cute. Hurry up.”

Soulis

She stumbled and failed to bite back a sound of pain as he hit her arm....of it was broke…that wasn’t good.

“Medical lesson - My right Humorous is broke and my left Flexor Carpi Radialis is torn. I can’t pick it up.” She leaned against a work table, hissing at the throbbing. “Kane wouldn’t need the medical lesson.” She muttered it, making the comparison, the pain making it hard to think clearly.
