STORY
The men, bar Him whose snores rivalled that of anyone else, looked at each other. Slade frowned, unsure what to make of the stand-off.
“Without consensus, looks like we’re faced with a voiceless vote,” said Reed. “You know what to do.”
Slade, Adessi and Zed walked off in different directions. Zed kicked Him, who awoke and ambled off to his own personal area.
“Will someone please explain to me what we’re supposed to be doing?” called Slade.
Reed turned towards him. “When we cannot agree on whether or not to transport, we have a voiceless vote. Everyone can independently decide whether or not to transport.
That way, we don’t know who decided, or not, to transport. Keeps things civilized, especially when there’s a contentious appeal for transport.”
Slade slowly nodded his head and turned towards a wall.
“In your own time, gentlemen,” said Adessi.
The silence began. The only movement was that of the soft breeze on the field beyond the wall.
Nothing. A light turned on inside the building. A flickering, red light, like that of a hearth being lit.
Silence... Then a burst of light surrounded the companions, a howling wing ringing in their ears. They felt themselves compressed into an infinitesimal space as the very fabric of time ripped past them.
The vote had carried.
Unlit room, Unknown location, Unknown point in time.
“Ahhhhhh, I have a feeling I’ll never get used to this,” moaned Slade, as he pulled himself off something.
“You’re heavier than you look,” replied Adessi’s voice, as the something squirmed.
“Muhn naaah” said Him, as he began his ritual hacking and spitting.
A light burst on. A man wielded a rifle. Around him were four narrow walls in an unlit room. The only exit was a staircase at the top of which a trapdoor hid the outside world.
“You won’t take me alive!” shouted the armed man. “I need my medication!”
The team of five froze, staring collectively down the barrel of a gun.
“I think you may want to put that down,” said Slade, coolly. “Whoever we are, we certainly don’t want to take you alive.”
“That’s what they all say, then they come for me and... and they try to catch me but Kyle isn’t caught. Kyle is wily. Wily Kyle!”
“Who is they?”
“They is you! The mafia from that company. The evil company who did all them experiments on me. I need the medication, otherwise the darkness will overcome me!”
“And you think that the mafia would send five unarmed, naked men after you?”
“I don’t know! Oh God I do know. You are trained naked assassins. You managed to penetrate into my lair without moving a thing. You come from the walls, the floor, the ceiling! Ayyyyyyy!”
Him finally regurgitated the shorts he had just made and put them on. The man called Kyle looked at him in disgust. Seizing his opportunity, Slade leapt at him and wrested the firearm from his gripe.
“Now you will listen to reason!” he bellowed. “We are NOT here to kill you. We are lost travellers and we need help.”
A large crash was heard from above, couple with loud shouting.
“OH NO. THEY ARE HERE,” Kyle burst into tears. “THEY HAVE FOUND ME.”
“The mafia?” asked Zed.
“YES,” came the reply.
“We can help you, just tell us how!”
A second crash. And pounding on the trap door.
“Señor Kyle,” came a rasp hispanic voice. “We have come to take you back home.”
“NOOOOOO” shouted Kyle. He pointed towards a cupboard and grasped Slade’s collar.
“There are many weapons in there. Arm yourselves and save me! Then I will help you. I promise.”
The trapdoor splintered and two men came running down, armed with cudgels. They were dressed in red, a small sombrero donning their head.
“Gentlemen,” said Adessi. “Prepare to fight.”
