The fact that he's currently talking to
a wall did nothing to deter him from continuing his kiddish rant, his
movements interrupted as someone suddenly touched his back with a
finger and ran it down across his spine, sending a cold shudder

Rachel sent Will home with a prescription and a strict diet. When he would be back was still up in the air, but Rachel had other things to worry about. The next day she opened a message in her inbox while taking her third coffee break of the day.


Kara Palmer had been admitted to Saint Fredrick's due to hypercalcemia and her condition was deteriorating.


Rachel sunk back in

Watch One sent for Martin Zachs, Agent Ian, and Palmer late Sunday evening. Their departure was quiet, but it was a relief for all those that involved. The memory of Zachs was like an infection, leaving them to wonder if anyone else in the Watch could be turned as easily as he had. What bribes could turn them to such a man.


Early Monday morning Reese came into work with his ow

“I agree!” yelled Louis, giving the wall he leaned on a kick, and almost loosing his hold on the half awake Massaru in the process. The slop of stomach acids and partially digested food had subsided to knee height, but it was still tough to get solid footing. “Get us out!”


His SkySprecht buzzed with voices.

“Drop your weapon and back away from the door,” said Zachs his voice as cold as the barrel against Will's head.


Will considered the risk of turning around and disarming Zachs, but took another glance at the blown out skull of the body before him and thought better of the idea. He dropped his glock and inched back with his hands up, Zachs' gun always on him. Zachs si

Louis' legs flailed as he dropped from the esophagus to plop into a thigh high puddle of stomach acids. The stomach walls convulsed, sloshing the thick, foul smelling liquid around. The trip down left Louis shaking, short of breath. All he could see was a giant dark blank, not from the lack of light, but from the edge of his vision going dark from panic. Something vibrated in his e

Their earpieces beeped. It was Cetz.

“Me neither.”

“Easy for you to say,” muttered Reese, taking his partner's arm and playing the “date”.

“You know we don't really need to clean this stuff,” said Louis, tossing the wood cleaner to Will on the ladder. The ballroom with all the wood paneling and gilded marble columns was massive; one bottle of Murphy's Oil wasn't going to take care of it all.


To get the Luvor properly wired up with Surveillance, Cetz had a team consisting of

While Surveillance got the updated feed from the cameras in Kore's depot, Cetz went over the most current aerial photos of the area. They showed that a small force of people and equipment had moved, on the hunt for something.

4:48 A.M. After six days and nine hours, lockdown ended and the red ambient lights on the walls were shut off. The crew of Watch Two, specifically those awake, cheered like New Years Eve. Those trapped inside could go home and those shut out could come in. Playing cards flew up in the air like confetti.


“Who won the bet?” asked a Tech in Surveillance.

Under Martin Zachs' watchful eye, equipment was stripped, examined, and then reassembled. After a while, the crew of Watch Two felt stripped of any joviality there would have been during lockdown. Card games lost their luster, and even the roving game of Apples to Apples had been tossed aside. In the boredom, the janitorial staff ended up cleaning things that had never been cleaned be

Zachs sat up sharply from the bed of the BT, his almost child-like mirth from earlier smoothed away to precise displeasure. Cetz disconnected the power to the BT-9, hoping the plan had worked. Now all he had to deal with was Zachs.


“Grant can we confirm a power drain from the E.S.S.?” said Cetz through the com.


“A slight power drain confirmed,” said

Rachel clenched her jaw and set her mug of coffee down before she gave into the temptation to hurl it across the office. “What do you mean Zachs wants to see Louis?”


“He's only going to leave once he knows the virus is in Watch hands and he's interviewed him,” said Cetz.


“So you think I can just pull him out?” Rachel got to her feet,

Beni arrived in Surveillance with a list of camera locations and assigned numbers around Kore's depot to retrieve video from.

Most screens had been converted to projector f

Rachel snarled at the thought of having to talk to Martin Zachs, but she agreed to Cetz's plan. After getting off the phone Rachel went to Will's room. He lay slightly curled on his left side, the heating pad over his right still hot and soothing away the pain from whatever injury Louis had caused. His right arm lay crossed over his middle, the tube to the IV following his left arm.

Massaru loosened his tie and hung up the phone, looking back at the hospital bed with a wince. With Martin Zachs at Watch 2, he had to go back to playing the invalid again.


The Indian doctor shrugged off his suit, hid the photo security books in the closet, and prayed Cetz would find the Watch leak soon. Just as he got back in bed, red warning lights flashed throughout the base.

Looking up towards the sphincter, Louis saw the glint of the canister sticking out of a tight fold of muscle. “Damn it!”

All Will's energy was focused on one thing. Yelling at Louis. He had one hand gingerly over his stomach and both eyes like missiles on his partner as he stepped towards him.

Rachel and Will entered the lab, and the lights were already dimmed. Cetz stood by an operating bed next to the BT-10. The massive, blue-lit machine took up the entire wall and had two scanning areas; a chamber the size of a phone booth and another like a MRI with a sliding bed. The bed looked less than comfortable.


“Welcome back Will,” said Cetz. “Ready to g

It was a long walk to the rendezvous with Beni. It was cool and the forest green. Reese spent most of it asking questions.

Reese couldn't stop staring at Will's middle. “But how did he get in there? Was it

Louis lay prone at the bottom of Will's stomach. How he hadn't passed out while being swallowed down Will's tight throat was a mystery, but now he was gasping for breath. The blonde reached down to his aching leg and found that he was shaking. The suffocating squeeze of an esophagus was almost as bad as being buried. Will's groans hadn't helped either, they had vibrated around him,

It was night, and the three men were dressed in a variation of forest gear; Reese in forest camo like a happy camper, Louis and William in a darker, tighter version of climbing gear. Except for the keypad at the entrance, the cave looked like any other mining shaft, dark, cold, and endless. The code at the entrance had a leeway time of two minutes before it activated the alarm to Kol

Louis stood on a lab table inside the inner lab room, his shades off, holding a medicine ball before him. And he was less than three inches tall. A BT sensor panel buzzed next to him, and he glared at it. If he had a gun he'd shoot it, right in the power cord.


Louis tapped the microphone attached to his earpiece, talking to Rachel who hovered over him like a giant from Gullive

Louis groped around in the almost darkness, his hand rubbing furiously against the shuddering pink insides of Will's stomach. He had been yelling for so long that sand grated his throat.

William took part of his lunchtime off for his daily visit with Massaru, who was still recovering from his wounds. The healing was slow, but the Indian doctor took it with great patience and a smile.

The sound of water rushing by outside was unusually soothing to Louis, like rain pattering on a window but to a louder, more muffled degree.

At William's direction, Beni let the young agent off close to a chained parking lot on the edges of the city. The streetlights were on and the nocturnal crowd of bar hoppers was just starting their night. Beni handed him a rolled up set of picks and rods from her bag.

Louis woke up with half his body in a puddle of something akin to water, but it was too slimy and hot.

It had been a hospital once, but as part of the Freewill compound it was demoted to a lab for the criminally insane and negligent.

Massaru looked mournfully at the broken, bloated body before him on the dissecting table as he put on his surgical gloves and arranged his mask. Another one of Retten's failures; the abdomen was ripped open, seemingly from the inside. Massaru allowed himself to glance at the body's face. The man couldn't be older than mid tw
