"Unff..."
Tyron groaned, rising slowly, though his limbs felt dull and heavy. His arms had been tied behind his back and his ankles were lashed together, though he could slowly heave himself on to his back and sit up. Dirt clung to the side of his face and he spat out another mouthful of it, screwing up his lips in disgust.
Outside. He was in a space just like the one where he'd seen that man transform into the small dinosaur. His heart pounded furiously, blood roaring in his ears, though Tyron fought to control his breath, gritting his teeth. At least he was wearing some clothes, though his jacket was gone, leaving him in a shirt and trousers, though his shoes were there too.
He wouldn't become a victim, like the others X-OM had taken. No... No, he couldn't. Christie knew about him; she knew where she was.
She'll come for me.
That was the only hope he had to cling on to.
As he sat up, legs bent and his back propped up against the rough bark of a tree, one of the higher-ranking scientists there surveyed him. Tyron didn't say a word, taking in Michael Andrews from head to toe: the devilishly handsome jawline, the crisp, clean press to his shirt collar -- all sullied by the mud on his black leather shoes. They were of much higher quality than Tyron's, though it was not as if that was of any importance in a moment like that.
"So," Michael said with a small, tight smile. "What are you doing out here? This isn't your station."
His smooth, velvety voice washed over Tyron and he held fast.
"I don't know," he said slowly. "I went for a walk... Ended up somewhere weird... Then headed back to my desk. I don't remember anything."
Of course, Tyron remembered everything. But he wasn't about to tell Michael that, not as he blinked up at him and groaned, pretending that his mental faculties were not as sharp as they actually were in that moment. His headache softened, but he acted like he'd taken a blow, letting his eyelids hang more heavily as he blinked.
"Oh, don't you?" Michael queried, a nasty little tilt to his head not quite belonging there. "That would be something, wouldn't it? But you've been here for more than long enough to know what we're doing."
"What we're doing?" He repeated, slurring his words and dragging them out more than he needed to. "Hm... Uh... The old stories... I've fed back all my research into the system, but I've not had...any feedback."
He manufactured the pauses in his speech, though hoped it would be enough. How was Tyron to tell?
"Stories?" Michael laughed, shaking his head sadly. "Oh, poor, poor, Tyron... Is that what you believe? You've actually been helping our cause. None of these tales are false."
His heart pounded, a straining beat against the cage of his ribs, fighting to be free. Surreptitiously, he wiggled his feet and tugged at his bonds, yet they held.
"What..." He knew he shouldn't have asked, but he needed confirmation anyway. "What do you mean? It's...not real. It's just a story."
He shook his head and groaned, though Michael stepped closer, peering at him.
"Seems all is in place. You can wear that collar for the rest of your life," Michael said, pointing out the heavy weight around his neck. "Consider it a gift from X-OM. Few are lucky enough to wear that."
As Tyron froze, dumbfounded, Michael brushed his fingers across the strangely elaborated collar around his neck. It looked more like a woman's necklace -- something someone might have worn to a fancy, high-class event. With several chunky links, it encircled his neck with the weight of collar, a large, blue gem set in the centre at the front, glistening faintly. It had a wet sheen to it -- though Tyron's only visual impression of it had been while Michael was transferring it to his neck. Even if he twisted his head and looked down, he wasn't able to get more than a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye.
"Take that... What the hell is that? Take it off me!"
"Oh, but it's for you, Tyron," Michael said quietly. "You've seen too much. So, you will become one of our next subjects."
Tyron grunted and shifted his weight, not understanding what was happening. His stomach felt odd, as if there was a heavy weight in the pit of it, something pulling him down. And yet it moved too, jostling him back and forth, a rumbling and a grumbling, as if his digestive system was working overtime.
"Your subjects? But I work here... Michael, this is crazy, let me go."
He dropped his act a little, sweating as he rocked his weight back and forth on his seat bones. But Tyron's breath came increasingly shorter in his chest, huffing and heaving like there was a weight there that was pressing down on him. Yet he couldn't see anything, even if the collar was in place. It warmed to the heat of his skin and he grunted lowly, half-closing his eyes.
Why did he feel so unwell suddenly? Maybe he'd eaten something that didn't work for his stomach earlier? Ah, he had no idea just how it would all cease to matter so very soon.
"Oof..."
