Chapter 11

Ben:

"You like circled it three times," Ben smiled, sarcasticly. They probably could have with all their talking. He saw the look on their faces. "Turn right at the next corner. It's the fifth building," Ben's smile vanished.

Dr. Lane:

Dr. Lane just stood there, almsot rembling at what she just did. But she had to- she couldn't be found out what she was really doing there! She swallowed the knot in her throat. But before she could do anything else, someone else came in. "Excuse miss but I'll be taking him off your hands now............" He said going closer to the unconsecious doctor. Dr. Lane recongized him. She had seen him only in a photo Kenny had showed her. "No!" She shouted and shot him too. But this time the shot wasn't so good, it only hit him in his side. She fired again and watched his body fall to the ground. Her hand still trembled. She couldn't let Kenny get his hands on Adam... he would kill him. But now he couldn't let Adam continue his work here. She wished that Quincy hadn't come in... but she knew a way to handle it. Quickly, she got a srynge from a mediine case. she inserted some liquid in it and injected this liquid into Quincy's blood flow. This would at least take the last 2 mintutes of memory away from him. It was a good thing Dr. Lane knew chemicals...... She did the exact same thing for another srynge, but thsi time inserting a different kind of chemical. She inserted this into Adam Pierson. It would make him sleep longer. She glanced outside into the hallway- empty, good. She went to the unconsecious doctor and dragged him out of the room.... boy- he was heavy. She saw a wheel chair not too far... perfect! She went to it and moved it closer to Dr. Pierson. She eventually got him into it with a lot of effert. She than rolled him out the back way, away from the others. When she got outside, she went straight to the parking lot near the exit and found her car. Unfortunately, anotehr assitant was there. But, she had an idea. "Quick, help me get him in. He's realyl tired and I'd like to get him home where it's more comfortable." she smield sweetly and the assiantant agreed. Thy got him into the car. "Thank you." She waved and got into the drivers side. She started it, got out of the parking lot and drove away.......

Quincy:

Quincy wakes up a few minutes later, covered in blood from the already healed gunshot wounds. He can't remember how he had gotten into this lab but he knew he was still in the hospital, he decides to ignore his slight memory loss and decides to leave the hospital for now untill things become calmer. He decides to look a little more for Pierson on his way out, but not seeing any sign of the doctor heads away from the hospital to the nearest hotel.........

Fredrick:

"Ha ha ha.. a funny man I like that". He makes a right hand turn and parks infront of the fouth building. He turns back to Ben he moves his index finger motioning ben to come closer, " Come here" His hand quickly turn into a fist and slams into Ben's nose. He picks up a rag and throws it to him, "Clean yourself up. You don't think I'm gonna park this car right infront of the building were you might have a look out." He gets out of the car. Opens up Ben's door and drags him out. He punches Ben in the gut. He bends over to speak right into Ben's ear, "See this gun. It's one of your buddies that they were planning to use on me. It's got a silencer so, if you try to call out a warning you will be dead before you get a chance to scream and the sound of this gun won't be heard by anybody. He then sees Cali get out of the car. "Lead the way my dear."

Ben:

Ben couldn't utter a word. His breath had literly been taken away from him by the forceful punch to his guts. He was not a stupid man, unlike a few of the followers of Kenny. Some of them were so frigtened of death- they would do anything to avoid it.... but not Ben. Death didn't scare him. If it came, than it came. He only took orders from Kenny because he could live a little longer, plus he never really was a *good* person. He stole most of his life and did drug dealing and even killed a few people. Ben licked the blood off his lips from the previous punch to his face. Even if the men here were not expecting any of them, Ben could still make gesters to instruct them what to do. For now- it was in the best interests to do what the man that held Ben said.

Connor:

I still had no clue what was going on. But I trusted my fellow clan mate. Though I was worried about Methos, I knew he could take care of himself... he was 5000 years old after all. Though, he has been acting really strangely... with all the immortals around and him helping out. It was not totally like him to place himself with other immortals. This thought worried me... what if he was looking for death? I promised myself to come back and talk with Methos. I just hoped Jenny would be all right if I left her alone. I didn't want to- she meant the world to me. I took the IV from her and lifted her up slowly. She didn't wake. I knew she had wanted to see me. Did she have something to say to me? Now was not the time to think about it. I had to get her to safety. I took her out and headed away from the Cafeteria, where i kenw the explosion had came from. If I was right- there was a lot of things going down there now that I couldn't possibly worry myself with......

Vivian: I helped calmed down the people and get them out of the hospital. Some assitants were seeing to it that the fire was being placed out. Where was Dr. Pierson? He should be here helping us. Dr. Lane: Dr. Lane arrived at a house. It wasn't her house or Dr. Pierson's. It was another place all together. a place where no immortal or mortal knew of yet. Getting him into the house was another problem all together. She gently slapped his face a bit, which made him semi-consecious... but not enough to make him aware of what was going on. "Come," she said, hoping her words would register in his brain. She took his arm and helped him up. She got him in this way as he slowly walked besides her. It was sort of like he was sleep walking, really... he had no consecious thought of what he was doing- which was good. She got him in and laid him in a bed in a room. There were no windows for him to escape out of. The only exit or entrance was the door to the room. she left him there, closing and locking the door behind her. It could only be locked from the outside. From the inside, there was no keyhole to even try to pick the lock. She left teh house. She had to park the car somewhere else, some place else which wouldn't lead Kenny here. Getting back... well... she would either have to call a taxi or something along those lines. She drove off... it would have to be far from this place........

Calisandra:

Getting out of the car, Cali turns at his voice, "lead the way, my dear." Shaking her head, she reaches into her pocket, her hand stroking the handle of her Glock 9mm, "You just plan on us walking in the front door? with him looking like that"...she nods at Ben, "I take it back, you are crazy."

Quincy:

After Quincy sets up his room at the hotel he realizes that he can't just sit around. So he decides to head back to the hospital, even if it risks being seen or caught by the other immortals, Kenny wants dr. pierson and kenny gets what he wants..........

Fredrick:

"Of course I plan to use the front door. We got here much to easy. Isn't that right?" he ask Ben, "But I figure let's see what we have waiting for us. Don't tell me your afraid of being shot." He looks at her with a crazy look in his eye. "You coming, if not guard the car." He drags Ben up to a window next to the door. He laughs at Ben, "Oh yes we are going in this way." Fredrick throws Ben threw the window into the building. He moves his arm around through the window to unlock the door. Walking in he sees Ben trying to get up he quickly walks over and kicks Ben in the rear knocking him back down. He drags him up to his feet and moves him back towards the door frame using him as a shield. and yells out loud, "Honey I'm Home!!!!!"

Methos:

The old immrotal's eyes open as he sat up. He glanced around. Where was he? The room was well furnished, almost Victorian style but with a touch of modern too. The bed... the dresser, and the bookshelf filled with fictional books. Methos than remembered the last events. "Dr. Lane..." he said softly. He still didn't believe it. He knew how to identify traitors... but he had never expected this from Dr. Lane. His eyes than narrowed in at some pictures on the dresser. He stood up and went to them. It was a picture of himself with Dr. Lane and another woman. His fingers went to the other woman. "Mabel..." he whispered softly. He had met the both of them 15 years ago. He met Mabel first and befriended her. He than later met Dr. Lane.... Jessamyn Lane. It was no out of the ordinary for him to meet Jessamyn, since she was sisters with Mabel. In fact they were twin sisters... but not identical. Methos reached into his pocket and pulled out a picture, the one he had been looking at earlier in the lab... it was Mabel's picture. "I don't get it..." he thought out loud as he placed the picture away. Why would Dr. Lane do this? He went to the door and tried to open it- locked. And there was no key whole on this side to unlock it. And it opened towards him, so he couldn't very brake down the door. This room was well thought out... as if Dr. Lane had made this just in case she was found out. Methos than realized it was true.... Dr. Lane was a traitor. His mind couldn't settle for tht fact. He had fallen in love with her sister Mabel. But when the plague hit, the three friends got more professional than personal. Methos promised Mabel he would find a cure at any cost.. as long as she or her sister was alive. And Dr. Jessamyn Lane still lived. Methos burried his face within his hands. Wait... if she was a traitor... did this mean he was in the hideout of the person who created the plague? His eyes searched the room. Why was he still alive than? He went to the door and tried to force it open... but it would budge. He hit the door hardly, frustrated. Their wasn't a thing he could do.......

Ben:

Ben hurled through the window and landed on his side. The glass stung him worse than a million bees. He tried to get back up before that madman could reach him, but was kicked back down and than picked up. All of a sudden, the men in the buidling came out with guns... pointing at the both of them. Ben had no doubt that they would fire. "Hold your fire!" he barked, not having enough time to signal them. He than did. They held their fire, but did not lower their weapons. He whispered to the madman behind him. "I need to use the phone, it's over to your right." He didn't think the madman would let him. "I need to contact my boss, he's not here." that would let the madman make the call.

Kenny:

Kenny glanced at his watch. Ben and the others he sent should be back by now or at least contanted him. This made Kenny angry.. how dare Ben keep him waiting! A loud shout rang through the building. His men gathered. "I want to know what happened to the team that I sent to solve that commerical," he scolwed. "You, you, and you!" he pointed. they bowed and immediately left. "Don't fail me!" he shouted after them. His blood boiled with anger. Ben would pay for this. "What's going on at the hosiptial!" he shouted. Someone came to report. "The explosion went off without a hitch. There is a lot of confusion now. Dr. Pierson will be ours shortly." "Half of you, go to the hospital. Bring me any prisoners you can. Make sure not to capture Marageret, Helen, or Quincy. The rest, I don't care. Bring them to me, dead or alive. And destroy that hospital!" He ordered. His men bowed and half of them left.... which was about 15 of them. He would make sure that these people looking for a cure were destroyed. He wished Ben was here... he was the only one that knew about his flower. Oh well... he could find another if she was indeed killed amoung the people there.

Fredrick:

He looks at the the men with guns and laughed, "HAHAAHAAH this is all very good of you and a telephone call. How did I know he would'nt be here. You can call him later" He stares into the eyes of each of the gun men. "You! my friends are all going to die. Heh HA HA." Just then he falls back out the door which he was standing by pulling Ben down with him. He hears the automatic weapons start firing and he rolls himself and Ben away from the opening. He gets up quickly and runs with Ben dragging him to the car. Where Cali was still waiting. "Here take him and drive around the blocks a few times. I'm going to have some fun." He throws Ben in the back. Before even checking to see if Cali starts driving he runs along side the side of the building. He hears the gun fire comming closer to him. He leaps on to a dumpter that's right under a fire escape. He quickly goes up it but, feels a sting in his leg. "Gah!" The bullets dance on the metal of the fire escape. He used his elbow to smash open a window 'Why open when you can break it' is his motto. He drives in the window and limps as fast as he can to the stairwell he places a chair under the stairwell's door handle to block it. The men comming up the stairs can't enter the second floor. A shot from one of the men who followed him through the window hits him right in the ear shooting part of the ear off for good. He dives down a hall running his leg wound has just about healed. "HAHAAHA" He laughs to mock them to follow. By now they have the men comming up the stairs with them. He goes into the room he wants. His runs towards the oven in the room and draw his sword. He takes a swing at the gas line connected to the oven. Gas starts to escape. A wicked smile comes across his face he knows how much fun this is going to be. He has his back next to a window near the oven. The Men run in with there guns. "Ta Ta" With a quick wave fredrick falls back through the window as the bullets start firing. 1 bullets hits him in a rib 2 others in his upper right leg one of the bullet hit near the open gas line. "Oof!!", Fredrick hits the payment hard as the second floor of the building explodes. He gets back up limping back to where he saw Cali and the car last to she if she have stop cirlcing.

Cali:

Coming around the corner the tires screeching, Cali sees his body hit the pavement as she slams on the brakes, swerving the car over closer to where he lands."Bloody idiot." she mutters, leaning across the seat to open the door, "Get in!" she yells over the sound of yet another explosion as the gas pipes in the building blow as well...She slams the car into gear, pulling away from the curb as he jumps in , not bothering to look to see if he had closed the door or not. Turning to glare at him angrily, "Well that was effective, we still don't know where this guy is." Hearing sirens approaching she quickly turns down a side street, gunning the engine the car sliding dangerously as it skids around the corner...She turns to look at ben in the back seat, as she pulls into a dark alley. Slowing the car behind the building, she stops and looks around, the sounds of sirens now in the distance. "We tried it your way," she snarlsat Frederich, pulling her dagger from her pocket, and crawls over the seat, planting herself in front of Ben. Lowering the dagger, she presses the point firmly against the crotch of his expensive trousers, "Now we do this my way..." letting the point cut through the fabric slightly, so that he feels the cool metal against his skin..."Start talking ...Now!"

Ben:

Ben couldn't believe his sight as everything exploded. Ok.. he diffently was a mad man. How could things get so out of control? Kenny would not like this one bit. The woman with the mad man puleld the car into a dark alley. Now what? He moved back as he watched her come over the seat with a dagger and in front of him. The dagger pointing right at his crotch. Geeze.. she's was as crazy as that man! He swallowed a knot in his throat. There was no way around this. "You'll find the place you want on Cutting Blv.," he scolwed. "Cross street is Ivy Lane." He knew he would be slowly killed for this by Kenny... if he lived through this. "I hope the one you're looking for burns you and kills you so you can rot in Hell," he spat.

Cali:

Cali laughs looking over at Frederich as she inches the dagger slowly forward, "You heard the man, drive." She truns back to Ben, "now you're going to tell me what we kind of welcome we can expect when we get there, and doon't even think of lying to me." she snarls, leaning over him, pushing forward on the blade as her other hand presses him back into the corner of the back seat. Beneath his coat she feels something hard and familar and smiles, sliding her hand into his coat, she pulls out a cell-phone, "Look what we have here." she muses pulling out the antenna with her teeth. She pushes the speed dial button, figuring it is programmed to his bosses private line. Hearing the click as it is answered, she speaks quietly, her voice cold and unemotional, "I have something that belongs to you...and you have something I want..." she leans her weight against the dagger, as she turns the phone toward Ben letting the person on the other end (Kenny) hear his screams...

Quincy: Upon arriving back at the hospital he sees some of Kenny's men pull up........He wonders to himself why they are here and pulls out his cell phone and calls Kenny, for new orders..........

Cyane:

"If you think just because you saved Brent that were going to trust you now, you got another thing coming. I don't know about Brent, but I sure in the hell don't." She kept getting more and more angry. Her hands were in a hist at her side and very tense. She turned her back to the others and losened herself up a bit trying to calm herself. She was though with being nice, all she wanted was for her and Brent to get out of there and find Methos. She took a deep breathe and turned back around. "Look maybe you don't know anything." She didn't believe any of the b.s. she was now saying. There was one thing she knew for sure and that was that she didn't trust Margaret or her friend. "What about you?" She tured and looked at Helen. "Do you know anything?" She didn't wait for a reply. She turned and started walking back in the direction of the lab. She stopped after about ten feet and turned back around. "You coming Brent?"

Kenny:

His cell phone rings and he answers it. Oddly, a woman's voice he didn't recongize speaks into the phone. "I have something that belongs to you...and you have something I want..." Kenny than hears his man Ben screaming... a frown came to his face as he hung up the phone not wanting to negoicate for Ben's life. After all- Ben was only mortal. What did he care about a mortal's life? He was suddenly taken back as the phone rang again. It glanced at teh number that showed on the small screen... it was from Quincy's phone. "Quincy... glad you called," he smiled, knowing it was him. "I know you're calling because of my men there. They will destroy the hospital. Get Marageret and Helen out. I do hope you have caputured Dr. Pierson for your sake. And one last thing. If you come across a doctor named Dr. Lane, bring her to me as well... alive. Get those two women to help you as well. Don't disappoint me Quincy. Understood?" He asked, waiting for a reply. He gestered one of his men to come forward. "We're going to have company. Equip the men. But don't shoot without my order. And Marcus.... it's time to play that game I've talked to you about last year," he whispered with a smirk. He had also covered the phone so Quincy couldn't hear.. but it had nothing to do with him. "Go change your clothes and instruct the men. Quickly." Marcus nodded and left.

Vivian:

I hurried people along out of the hospital. Suddenly some men came in with guns and started firing. What was this, some war zone! She screamed as some bullets almost hit her. Luckly most of the people were out. But.. where was Dr. Pierson? Had he been captured? She drew her sword and fought off these guys... who were they... what they did want? There was no point in her staying any longer. She ran. She felt a presence and saw Cyane. "It's time to leave this hopsital.... it's being attacked!" she shouted. A gun shot suddenly rang out and hit her in her back. she feel to the ground unconsecious. There were men behind her, aiming there weapons at Cyane......... Connor: I got Jenny to the smaller hospital. They said they woudl take good care of her. I hated to leave her, but i had to see how the situation at the other hospital was. I left again and got in my car and drove towards the hospital. I just hoped I wasn't too late.......

Calisandra:

Laughing softly as she hears him hang up the other end and as Ben's screams fade as he loses consciousness, she looks down at the phone once more, dialing quickly. When the voice on the other end answers answers, "this is Morgan, I need an address..." rattling off the phone number the phone had just dialed, she waits for several seconds, looking down at Ben's limp body. Recieving the address, she relays it Frederich, "Think you can get us there in one piece?" she says teasingly...

Brent:

The men come bursting into the hospital and everything suddenly seems to go in slow motion. Dozens of men began running towards them with guns raised and blazing as each bullet exited their nozzles. A woman suddenly comes running around the corner yelling Cyane's name and gets hit from the back by one of infiltraitors bullets. "What the hell," he yells. He then turns his attention to Cyane. "Go find Dr. Pierson and get him the hell out of here. I'll see if I can hold them off for a while." Brent then rushes forward with his naked claymore out in front of him. He uses their brief moment of startled hesitation against his attackers. He wields the sword as if it is an extention of his own body, weaving expertly through as many of them as he can, making his way towards the fallen female.

Quincy:

Quincy doesn't have time to worry about not having Pierson yet, he needed to find Helen and Margaret and get them to search for Dr. Lane, he didn't know why Kenny needed her but it wasn't his place to question was it?..............

Duncan:

He couldn't believe it Methos didn't come out the back door. He asked some nurses if they saw him leave. They had not. If Methos went to get something surely Duncan would have been able to catch him as he left. Duncan Macleod was driving a couple of blocks away from the hospital before deciding to turn back. 'Maybe he never left the hostipal', he thinks as he makes a U-Turn. He senses another Immortal and sees Connor's Car drive by.

Frederick:

He opens up his shirt and plucks out the bullet the was stuck in one his ribs. As Cali talks on the phone and then to him. He examines the bullet before tossing it out the window. He adjust the side view mirror looking at his now disfigured ear. "well it looks like I'll never be able to get my ears pierced." Even though he appears to more concern with his own appearance he was listing to every word. "I thought this time we take the less direct approach. First I need to stop at a hard ware store." He can see Cali make a face at him. He Just Laughs back, "hahahah." Two blocks later he stops in front of a hardware sporting goods store. He gets out of the car. "Don't get out. I will be right back." Walking inside the store owner is about to say hello and gets a bad feeling about the man in the tench coat that just entered. Frederick just smiles and goes about collecting a few items. A few minutes later he leaves the general store with a bag of 'items' and a wad of money. He gets into the Car. He see Cali eyes fall on the wad of cash. He looks at her innocently, "Yes I killed the clerk but, you must understand he would not take a bill larger than a twenty." He starts the car up. "I will have to stop the car 15 minutes before we get there. Your going to love the surprise."

Quincy:

As Quincy runs toward the hospital he realizes that he never answered Kenny and that he was still on the phone with him.....He brings the phone up to his face and tells Kenny that he is working on his orders and ends the conversation.

Joe:

Having heard the explosion, Joe heads toward the main entrance only to be stopped by a security gaurd and told that he cannot enter for security reason. Grumbling under his breath he heads back to the rental car, as Duncan runs out, obviously upset. As Joe climbs in the car, he is concerned as Mac silently speeds out of the parking lot, a look of cold determination on his face. Knowing his friend well, Joe decides to wait until he is ready to talk about what happened, rather then prying, but he wonders where the others are... Watching Duncan, Joe becomes more worried as he drives dangerously fast through the almost empty streets, his knuckles white on the steering wheel. The car slows only briefly as his head comes up suddenly and looks around. Having been his Watcher for some time now, Joe recognizes the sign that Mac has sensed another Immortal, and he tenses nervously, "Mac...What's going on?" he finally asks, his patience exhausted...

Cyane:

She hears Brent say go find Dr. Pierson, but she hesitates for a few seconds. Then she turns and starts running in the opposite direct of the gun fire. One of the bullets grazes her lower left leg, but she ignores it and keeps running. She rounds the corner and stop for a minute trying to gain her thoughts. Where could Methos be, she thought to herself. I guess I could go check the lab again. She starts running faster this time. A few minutes later she arrives at the lab. She doesn't feel anything, so she knows he's not hear Go goes in anyways and starts rummaging though some papers on his desk. She didn't find anything that might say where he may be. She figured as much. She leaves the lab and decides to go out to the garage to see if he's left already. she runs out of the main door of the building...

Quincy:

As Quincy runs to the main door of the building and opens it, he senses another immortal. It is the woman from before in the cafeteria, the one that had been with the man who had challenged him...
