Then Stefani turned to look at me. Then back at the report. Then back at me again.
Clearly she was having a problem determining something. Finally she turned to face me and spoke quietly to herself, "Whatever."
Then her manner changed completely, speaking in baby tones
and quite a bit louder, "So you're 12 years old ! You're a big boy now
aren't you, Dev ? In 6th grade ! I know you like to keep secrets ! But
you know what's fun about secrets ? Is telling others, especially when
it's important !"
She read some more and I looked on horrified as
she continued to speak to me like I was back in pre-school. "Now I'm a
secret agent, isn't that fun ? I work for the government, that's
important business don't you know ! And you should ALWAYS obey the law,
right ? Your friend - " she paused to read a line on the clipboard
twice.
"Bestest friend" she continued, "Tyr - did something bad.
Oh no ! But She's not in trouble. Nossireebobbyohno ! But we'd still
like to bring her here so she can tell us in person, WOW ! How did she
DO that ? That was so amazering !" She read more of the clipboard too
but stopped talking for a second, skipping over stuff.
She
false-laughed, "And it was so funny what she did too ! HO HO ! We'll
give you both an honorary Secret Agent pin for helping out your
GOVERNMENT."
She fished in her dress and I noticed ample
cleavage. I was already smiling earlier at her cuteness and figure to
top it off with this. She was really attractive. Then she pulled out a
little plastic medal, really shiny with silver paint that read clearly
on it, "Secret Agent."
"But it's got a secret too ! It's a super
gadget ! See ? It shoots water !" and she touched the side of it to show
a little trickle of water come out and hit the front of my gown. "Isn't
that super-keen ? So, whaddya say, Dev ?"
And then she leaned
back and changed her voice to sound like she was serious pursing her
lips together as she added, "So ! Are you ready to help out your fellow
secret agent for the government ?" and she reached out her hand to offer
me the pin and with her other hand, she saluted me sharply as if I were
a general for morons.
I knew if I took it she would interpret that to mean I was going to tell her where Tyr was.
I'm
sorry, I tried, I tried really hard, I couldn't hold back. I laughed ! I
laughed so hard I peed myself just a little. I laughed so hard my sides
hurt. I felt like I was going to lose consciousness I was laughing so
hard now !
The way she spoke to me was just hilarious. Her whole
face turned beet red and I could tell she was really embarrassed for
thinking I was younger than I appeared. She suddenly huffed angrily and
gripping the clipboard in her mouth, she reached behind her skirt and
pulled up on the hem of her panties again with both thumbs this time.
I
knew she wasn't actually doing anything useful, it was just a nervous
habit of hers, apparently when she was upset or thinking about
something. I had to marvel how many times a day she did this.
She
was not without recourse however. She took the clipboard with one hand
to look at it again, muttering something to herself. Then she fished in
the black bag beside the gurney for something. She pulled it out
triumphantly making sure to show it to me.
"Okay, mister ! Just
for that, I'm keeping your teddy-bear and you can go to your room now
without supper !" She had Teepo in her hands ! They must've cleaned the
room when they kidnapped me. Aww c'mon ! She was too old for that ! She
gave my bear a big hug and gave a look of shock as if he were speaking
to her.
"What's that ?" she asked in a surprised voice. Then she
then put Teepo's mouth up against her ear and listened intently nodding
as if he were relating something of great importance.
"I totally
agree with you, Fuzzles ! Dev is most certainly being a bad boy right
now ! Very very bad ! He needs a spanking !" and she set down Teepo as
if to pick me up and do just that !
I stared wide-eyed at her with a shocked look on my face, she can't be serious !
* * *
Fortunately she picked back up Teepo to continue what she was saying.
"Yessir,
When he's a GOOD boy, then you might see him again." Then she turned to
address me. "Say bye bye to Fuzzles, Dev. Say bye bye, bye bye ..." and
she wiggled his arm like Teepo was waving farewell to me.
It was
too much. I was in a strange place with a more than crazy yet beautiful
woman who was treating me like I was a baby from a nursery school, and I
really did want the comfort of Teepo right now. Tears came to my eyes
and she saw this and smiled, glad she finally got through to me.
"I'll
hold on to Fuzzles till you learn to behave. He's mine now." she said
satisfied that I was suitably punished by her actions. Then tucking my
bear under her arm she touched the side of her wrist where a control
bracelet was. She spoke into it seriously, her kid-tone completely gone
but her voice was still quite pretty.
"Dev is ready for pickup. Send him to room 486-A."
She
then stood to lean over and look intently in my eyes for a second which
still watered with tears. I stared back into her own in return. Omigod
her eyes were almost as pretty as Tyr's ! And right then, I laughed
without meaning to.
I realized then I shouldn't have with what
she said next. "Mm hm ! I'll bet you think you're a smart little
troublemaker. And since you act so much like a baby, you're going to get
treated as one." and then spoke back into her bracelet receiver with an
evil smile. "I want full rights to this one."
There was
something unintelligible spoke in reply that sounded like a complaint
but it apparently satisfied her. She then clicked off the receiver and
looked straight at me with a wicked smile on her face, she emphasized
and spoke quite slowly the next word she said.
"Babyfood."
Wha - what did she just say ? I shook my head confused. Stefani then released the straps so I could sit up.
Dempsey
and the thin man I recognized as the other "officer," Pritchart, just
then arrived with a wheelchair. I noticed the familiar gas mask clipped
on the side of it.
Dempsey was proud to speak first breaking the
awkward silence upon their entry. He cracked his knuckles for emphasis
and spoke in that gravelly deep voice. "We can do this the EASY way or
the HARD way, weenie boy !"
I wasn't about to fight these guys
anymore. "Easy way." I said and bouncing off the gurney I quickly hopped
into the chair and gave him my best smile.
"Hmm ..." rumbled
Dempsey, clearly disappointed. I really think he was looking for a
fight. Stefani curled back a lock of hair from her ear as she spoke to
me.
Stefani looked at me but still seemed quite severe, "NO
dinner for you, Dev. I'll bring some babyfood for you tonight. Don't
worry. You'll be hungry then. Now scooch !"
I grimaced wondering
just how bad babyfood would taste. Strained peas ? Pritchart picked up
the black bag minus Teepo and Dempsey strapped me in for the trip. Then
he wheeled the chair out down the hall.
I had to ask questions. "Where are we ?"
Dempsey
was apparently in a good mood for the moment, as he did answer my
question. "You are our -" and he paused like he didn't like the word.
"Guest."
He coughed and seemed confused for a second, "Yeah, a
guest of the Arkos Research Institute." he said expansively and held a
meaty hand out waving it across the air.
"What did - " I began.
"That's
enough questions for now, shrimp !" Dempsey's regular mood was
returning and I'm certain I'd get bruised if I tried to ask anything
else.
We passed by other rooms. The rooms really didn't have
privacy as each door to the rooms was fully transparent, probably
bulletproof glass I mused to myself by the thickness of them. I did,
however, see happy children playing with toys, watching TV, playing
video games, and talking to other agents in each of the rooms.
Another
of which was a little girl getting an enema as a punishment. I knew
what that looked like cause I got one years ago when I stayed with a
mean Auntie of mine. She too wore the same kind of hospital gown I had
on. I caught the eye of her tormenter, a woman, just about as pretty as
Stefani, which gave me a most unpleasant smile as a bottle drained up in
the little girl.
The little girl was in tears though the woman
was rubbing her hair comfortingly and speaking, though I could not make
out the words. Clearly the girl was being punished for something.
That
was awful ! God, was everyone evil here, I thought to myself ? Well,
surely everyone except for Stefani, I thought, correcting myself, surely
she was good. Anyone as pretty as her surely must have a good heart.
"Our facilities." Dempsey rumbled in the back of his throat bringing me back to my surroundings. "Room 486-A."
They
wheeled me in the door. Then they tossed the black bag in as Dempsey
unstrapped me from the wheelchair and raised it to get me out. I got up
and as I did they 180ed the wheelchair back out and locked the door
behind behind with an electronic lock, leaving me alone in the quiet
room.
I stood to look around for a moment. I saw some windows
with the drapes closed and thought for a second maybe I was on the
surface and not underground as I thought I was earlier.
Going
over to pull back the blinds, however, I saw a lighted panel, but no
real outside sky. I noticed it looked like one child had taken crayons
and started to draw some grass and sky near the bottom of the panel,
undoubtedly lonely for the real world.
I hoped I didn't have to stay here as long as they apparently did.
