The Two Sides

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

The Boss sighs and pushes the laptop away from Ambrose. "I know. I know she is. I don't know why these people are doing this, either."

Brianna takes back the microphone. "Alright Hunter, what experiments do we have in store today for this little lot of sugar, spice and everything nice?"

The sound of her voice comes loudly from the laptop.

@Hawksnest565

Ambrose looks back at the laptop. He trembles a bit. "Please dont!" He says to Brianna. "Just let her go. Come back for me instead. She's my baby sister, I'll do anything..."

The Two Sides

Reina darts out of the door, trusting Dem more. She runs down the hallway towards the exit to the hospital, not wanting to be caught. She'd come back later for Dem if everything went right.

Hunter watches Brianna's reaction to the blood and remains silent. They completed the withdrawl and he continues to hold Ptelea up. She was a bundle of fear at this point.

Nadia stops for a moment, trying to figure out her position of the forest. She was a little closer to Rabin territory than she usually cared for, but shrugs. It didn't matter. They hadn't bothered her in awhile. She resumes her steady pace and veers off to head to the river.

@wallaberry

The woman scowñs, but walks over to Dem, and begins taking his blood. "Stubbon boy."

Pptelea hiccups as he finishes. She sobs and tries to make herself as small as possible. She cries quietly, shaking fearfullt.

The Boss nods a couple of times and then pulls out his phone. He types in the details and pretends to send it off to his 'experts'. What he actually sends is a message to a group of security guards who were waiting outside the warehouse which says Decrease rescue time by one hour. "I'm sure this will help them, Ambrose," he says as he tucks the phone back into his pocket. "Sharing information is a guaranteed way to assist with situations like this."

@Hawksnest565

Ambrose nods painfully. He fights the urge to look at his sister, knowing he'd probably break down if he did. 'I hope you're right sir.." He whispers, pulling his knees to his chest. Tears roll down his cheeks. "My sister is everything to me sir.."

The Two Sides

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

"Ambrose!" The boss speaks strongly. "You make unreasonable demands! You think I can make the rain stop if you ask it of me?" He takes a breath to calm himself down. "You do not think I'm doing everything in my power to save her? You don't think I understand the importance of family." He taps his cane on the ground a few times. "It's a few hours tops. I told you, my best men are on it." The sound of tapping fills the room. "Information can help save her. Where did they find your sister? They can't have gone far from there."

@Hawksnest565

ambrose glares at the old man. "Unreasonable demands my ass." He scowls, then cross his arms. He shivers a bit, before looking away, before sighing heavily. "They probably found her near our foster home..." He describes the town where Dem was. "Outside the town there's a foster home with at least 10 kids. A couple lives there, the Vilks." He nods slowly. "That's where Ptelea and I ended up when our dad started drinking.." He looks back at the Boss sadly. "Please...find my sister."

The Two Sides

The Boss places the laptop on the floor of Ambrose's room and stands up. "Ambrose, it might take us a while to find these people." He hesitates, like he wants to keep Ambrose calm. "Ah, but I only mean... maybe a few hours tops?" He stares down at the laptop. "I know I haven't respected your wishes in the past but, well, I know how important your sister is to you. I'd take this laptop away from you otherwise but it should be your choice."

Brianna walks away, the sight of red blood filling the the clear syringe being less comforting than usual. She picks up a notepad and writes the reaction of Ambrose to his sister's experience. Perhaps shifting siblings were closer than normal ones? It was quite baseless conjecture, but one she'd like to explore.

@Hawksnest565

Ambrose looks at the Boss, pain in his eyes. "A...few hours??" He shakes his head, trembling. "You need to find her. NOW!" He shouts angrily. "My sister is the most important person in my life. I made the mistake of leaving her behind before, but not again. You will find her, or else you will lose whatever trust you have gained." He says fiercely.

The Two Sides

Reina weighs what the woman said, but saw Dem's command. She takes her chance as the lady moves to the cabinet and runs for the door, unlocking it and then throwing it open. Ptelea would have to wait just a moment.

Hunter nods, setting the knife down and reaching for the syringe. He goes to take Ptelea's blood, despite her moving. This would definitely affect Ambrose's abilities to process commands as he became upset at the sight of the girl.

Nadia continues walking, hands at her sides. The forest was awfully silent and she enjoyed it. It was a nice change from the usual fighting and arguing she would come across, given the two groups of kids.

@wallaberry

The woman whirls around. "Girl, if you want to see your friend ever again, you will close that door!"

Dem scowls. "I'm the one you want, not her!" He snaps, unable to move due to his mangled arm. He glances at Reina. "Get out of here!" He shouts at her, throwing a pillow at her.

Ptelea begins crying. "S..stop! You're hurting me!" She cries as she feels the pinch of the syringe as he begins taking her blood. Tears stream down her cheeks and she tries to pull away from Hunter. "Rosey, make him stop! He's hurting me!"

The Two Sides

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

Reina shakes her head. "I'm not going anywhere with you!" She states defiantly. This woman definitely scared Reina, and she wasn't sure of any of the situation. It was just too sketchy.

@wallaberry

The woman shrus. "Then you'll never see your little friend again." She says calmly, going over to the cabinets. She hums as she gets a syringe ready. "You're not afraid of needles are you Demetri?"

Dem scowls. "I'm not giving you shit lady." He looks at Reina. "Run." He mouths.

The Two Sides

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

Reina pales as the lady moves to block the door. "But... why? They're not hurting anyone. Just let us go, please." She glances at Dem fearfully.

@wallaberry

Dem shakes his head at her. "I can't go Reina, the woman knows that. She wants something else from me."

The woman smirks at Reina's fear. She then nods at Dem. "You're right, I want your blood. A small amount will do. I'm taking the girl with me once I'm done though. She knows too much, and I'm sure my higher-ups can think of some use for her."

The Two Sides

<Snipped quote by Hawksnest565>

Hunter nods to Brianna, "It shouldn't be too hard." He answers clearly for the video, holding Ptelea up.

@wallaberry

Ptelea begins crying. "Rosey!" She sobs, struggling to get away. The knife at her face and the syringe were scary enough, but she had never seen Ambrose look so broken and so tired. She could see the injuries on his face and that frightened her. "Rosey!" She cries again. "Brother, please!"

The Two Sides

"Oh Hunter, I hardly believe him yet." Brianna's face is pitiful for just a moment at Ptelea's situation but her love for science takes over. "Hunter, take the blood."

"My son..." The Boss murmurs quietly to Ambrose. "I think you should look away now."

@Hawksnest565

Ambrose looks at the old man for a moment. "But.." He looks back at his sister's face. His lips trembles as he fights off the tears. "Ptelea..." He whispers. He gives her a sad smile. "Hey, no matter what, I love you, okay sweetie? I'm going to find you, and it's going to be okay." He promises, not believing it. He then turns away, shaking.
