Chapter 26 -- Home
As I wake up, I am in extreme pain. My whole body is sore. I think I have been beaten for days. I have dried blood in my mouth and can feel pain around my wrists, where handcuffs have my hands immobilized. I believe we are deep underground. It's silent other than some fans to recirculate the air and remove the dampness. It still feels like a basement.
I am naked and cold. My head hurts like I was pistol-whipped. My ribs are killing me and might be broken. It's hard to breathe. Further challenging is the gag in my mouth and bag over my head that prevents me from knowing much else. What did I do wrong? What did I do to deserve this?
I'm hungry and thirsty. Feels like it's been days since I last ate. Why am I here? Where is here?
"Hello, Tim."
Oh fuck. I know that voice. I am in deep shit. I hear the click of what sounds like a metal gun. BANG! She fired the large caliber weapon. Fortunately, it did not hit me. The smell of gun powder is strong in the air. I would ask what mom wants, but there's no point in trying. I can't talk still.
Monica says in a low voice, "To think you almost got away with it."
Oh shit, this is bad. Nobody can get here. Nobody knows where here is.
Mom says, "We have our own spy networks. It seems your little group of adventurers isn't so squeaky clean as we were led to believe. You're just as likely to do something good as you will do bad. It's all about the money for you."
I don't see a way out. Vanessa must be dead. No way she lets anyone do this to her lover. She would have fought to the death. Dang, I hurt physically and now emotionally; I loved Vanessa. Mom's people must have really messed me up. I can't move my hands. I start to cry. This isn't how I envisioned my life-ending.
Mom pokes my ribs with her gun, it hurts to scream, but it hurts no matter what.
Mom says to me, "You're such a disappointment. You had us thinking you loved us. You just wanted revenge against me. You must have thought we were stupid. You got all the sex you wanted, got four of them pregnant. Vanessa's, of course, did not survive; it died with her. You will never live to see your children."
Monica continues, "Vanessa used to lead 'YOUR' organization. You were but a pawn. That's why your mother sent you. Nobody meant less to her than you."
Why do they continue to humiliate me?
Mom says with almost a laugh, "Vanessa was fun to kill. She put up a hell of a fight, unlike you. They did gruesome things to her before she told us everything."
Ah ha, they just screwed up. Vanessa is alive still. She would have stopped her heart and killed herself long before it got that bad. I just need to stay alive. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, will keep her from me. She will use every resource she has to get me back alive. I don't care how deep this bunker is; it's not deep enough. I have hope. He, he, no, not hope, confidence. This will be a side of Vanessa they do not want to see.
Vanessa is the most tenacious woman I have ever met. She can become laser-focused to accomplish her objective. Not even an army will deter her. While lying on the cold ground, I feel the entire floor tremble three times. There are three entrances to the palace. Let me rephrase that, there were three security gates restricting access to the palace.
Monica is worried, "My babies are up there."
Mom is calm, "Two of mine and all my staff are up there along with a thousand of my finest soldiers."
I bet Vanessa brought ten times that amount plus heavy ground and air weapons. She brought ten times whatever they have and then some. She knows half the fleet is in the docks or just outside. She has her own space to ground shuttles. There are people in the house already; they know where I am, and they're coming for me.
Monica asks, "Do we kill him?"
Mom is appalled, "That's my son! Besides, we still don't have our answers yet."
Monica takes off the bag and rips the gag out of my mouth. That hurt. It's too bright, I can't open my eyes. I spit out some blood.
I am brief, "Heal me some, or I die before you get answers."
Monica asks me, "Did you ever love any of us?"
I won't answer her. She slugs my shoulder, and that hit ten on the pain meter.
Monica asks again, "Answer me, or you die now!"
With barely any breath, I whisper, "You need me to stop Vanessa."
Mom laughs, "We already told you that bitch is dead!"
I don't respond; I am starting to fade out.
Monica shakes me, and I can't move or talk. Mom kicks her away from me. After a few seconds, a woman scurries towards me. Instantly I feel no pain. Then I notice it's easier to breathe.
I am braver now, "No, you keep healing me. I need to be healthy enough to stop Vanessa from killing you two."
Mom laughs again, "How many times must I tell you the bitch is dead."
I ask, "Did you feel those three explosions? Why would anyone spend resources on a ... what did you call me? Oh yes, a pawn. Well, that Queen loves this Pawn so much; she put her entire organization into motion to get me back. If she sees me looking like this. Even I can't stop the hell that will be released on you two and your daughters. You two right now are no fun. However, I love Tamara and Carla. I don't want them to die. You two can fuck yourselves all you want, but I need to save them.
"Who do you know with enough resources to intimidate your fleet in the space docks and just outside? Who else has the resources to turn your gates to rubble? She's probably listening to us now. Do you hear fighting? She brought enough mercenaries along with land and air assets to make your army drop their weapons."
I take a deep breath, "Think of this as an arranged marriage. I wanted Vanessa, but the galaxy needed me to marry Carla to save the universe from war and a genetic holocaust. The sterilization numbers were skyrocketing. We took drastic actions because it was required. Vanessa sacrificed her love for me to help our race continue.
Oh damn, we have come full circle. With no prompting from either Queen, the doctor starts treating me again. She is one of the five researchers that almost killed me by having sex. Somehow, I bet she volunteered for this.
I continue some more, "You effectively slapped her in the face beating me literally within an inch of my life. She isn't going to take this well."
We all hear the elevator that came down, get called back to the top.
I am nervous, "Doc, you better hurry up. Time is running out, and you will be first."
She quickly gives me my shots, using a device to heal wounds, another to heal cuts, another to close the skin, and another to clear the scabs. I am still naked on the floor, hungry and weak. Some of the pain is back.
We hear the elevator ding. We hear the elevator doors open. It's silent in the room. I don't think anyone is breathing. I listen to the heavy footsteps. These soldiers are in full battle gear still.
The door comes flying into the room in a daze, knocked off its hinges. It lands on me, and I scream out in pain. I hear two loud shots and then what sounds like water splashing the Queens.
John removes the door from my body; he says to me, "Sorry, Tim."
John and Mark are two of the largest men I have ever met. They grew up doing hard work. I knew they were brilliant. At a young age, I recruited them to mom's organization. I notice that both Queens are encased in a solid rubber type of ... stuff that has them motionless and unable to use their guns.
Vanessa starts off by giving both Queens two black eyes before I even speak.
I scream out, "STOP!"
She looks at me and has tears in her eyes.
I try to be funny, "The description of your death seems to have been premature."
Vanessa hits both women again and smiles large for effect. She retreats to me, and the next woman in the room has a blanket for me. Vanessa struggles, but she wraps the blanket around me and tries to pick me up. I am too heavy for her. Mark picks me up in the blanket like I am a baby. To a man his size, I am nothing. He carries me like a mother holding her child.
Mom tried to talk. Vanessa gave her a death stare.
Vanessa is furious, "I watched the monitors. I know what you did to him. I also heard what he said, or you two would indeed be dead right now. I am taking my love to eat and then to get some sleep. I want you two to think about your actions and how you treated the man who only wanted to save the galaxy.
"Tim won't have anything to do with our dark side even though that is how we fund ourselves to do the good things. You two stew, and we will be back for you ... eventually. John, see that they stay here. No visitors unless you hear from me. I don't want some bimbo trying to take over. We have enough dumb asses around as it is. Doc, you're with us. Follow."
I fall asleep being carried by a large man.
