"What am I doing here?" - Open - Please jump right in!

[Thiefheart {Tannor}♙]

"What happened?" Time asked innocently, though he also really didn't know what Jake's all mad about.

Nate watched Jake walk away and a glitter of amusement sparked in his eyes, otherwise he was emotionless to what just happened. He'll need Time explain or hear it from Jake's themselves, whichever comes first.

[»αηιмαℓ«]

Sarah looked up at them with her unusual eyes. She hesitated.
"He found out about the Prophecy is all," Jason muttered, more to himself than the others.
"Jason!" Sarah hissed between her teeth. The pain in her side was becoming stronger every few minutes. What had the Whistler done to her? She turned to hide the blood spot on her shirt from Nate and Time and looked at them again. "Nothing. It's nothing," she said, although her eyes said clearly otherwise. She met Time's eyes. Those deep amber dwells seemed to speak: Nate knows enough as it is. And so do you. She glanced in the way that Jake had disappeared to through the forest. "He's headed back to town, I'm sure."
"He'll be found," Jason repeated. Sarah gave him a stony look, but Jason just looked away and set to silently cleaning up the little place.

[Thiefheart {Tannor}♙]

Nate nodded at them, he still knew there was more to this and Time basically has the information. He turned to Time to ask him something but then his phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and flipped it open, putting it to his ear, "yes?" he replied in a monotoned voice.

Then his eyes widened a bit as he listened to something, "I see..." he glanced at Time, "yes he's here... no... I'll be there soon... see you" the call ended and he looked down at his phone warily, "Time, we need to go"

Time titled his head, wondering what happened when he saw the phone number, HEADQUARTERS...

[»αηιмαℓ«]

Sarah watched Nate and Time serenely. She wasn't stupid or dull. She knew who had called, although it was difficult to hear who it was from the other line. She looked at Time and cleared her throat quietly. "We may or may not meet each other again. If not, it was a...a pleasure." The words were odd to her. They simply didn't fit, yet the said them still.
Jason watched the three people and resting his mismatched eyes on Time and Nate.

[Any chance you could tell me what Headquarters was telling Nate?]

"Stupid Jason. Stupid prophecy. I should have never went with them..but Sarah, my old friend...she was trying to save me. Aaargh this is so confusing!" Jake muttered to himself as he walked down the street of the nearby town, searching for..well, he wasn't sure what he was searching for. He sat down on a bench, lifted up one leg, and placed his chin on it, thinking and dwelling on forbidden subjects.

OOC: Here's the conversation:

(click to show/hide)

"Yes?" Nate answered the phone.

"Nate? I believe we have a problem" Gevanni started, "it's very urgent and no it doesn't require your grades, we need you back here as soon as possible"

"I see..." Nate narrowed his eyes.

"Is Time with you?"

"Yes, he is"

"We might need him, are you alone?"

"No"

"Very well, try not to catch anyone else here, you know Light Ratio"

"I'll be there soon"

"Good, see you"

"See you"

Time nodded at them and Nate, "let's go" he turned and ran back through the forest with Nate following behind.

Nate grumbled under his breath, what is it now? He raced after Time, both stopping at the road. He pulled out a metal bar and snapped it in half. He ran with it as a hologram of a motorcycle appeared, becoming solid as Nate hopped on. He sped around and stopped in front of Time, "well? Get on!"

Time jumped on, putting on a helmet as Nate did, speeding off to headquarters...

OOC: What was urgent will be explained as Nate and Time arrives 

[»αηιмαℓ«]

OOC: Okay thanks

IC: Jason and Sarah stared off to where they had disappeared into the forest. Then they met each others eyes.
Jake jerked awake, realizing he had begun to fall asleep. He got up his strength and stood.

[Thiefheart {Tannor}♙]

Time and Nate jumped off as they arrived at a huge building, though it looked normal outside it was the inside that counts.

With holographic screens floating around, displaying blueprints and plans and even shows from the local TV. The lobby was filled with brillent light, hovering lamps are placed against the walls to add to the collection of advanced technology. Robots the size of a hand, shape of a sphere with two hands, hovered around Nate and Time to greet them in their little robotic whirs.

Time pressed the up button and one of the five elevators opened almost automatically. The two rushed in and pressed the top floor, the 16th floor. As they arrived to the smaller version of the lobby, the waiting room, they went to a door with two cameras on either side of the door. They trailed on Nate and Time as Time placed his hand on the scanner.

Not only that his hand was scanned but his whole body as well, the light caught the shape of Nate behind Time and the door slid open for the two of them, "Welcome back Nate and Time" greeted a robotic voice.

They walked in and as soon as they did the door closed....

[»αηιмαℓ«]

[Awesome post! So mysterious and curious]

"That boy. Nate. He's with the Lab?"
"Yes and no," Sarah replied to Jason, looking at him.

Jake's feet cried out in protest. The tingling began at his feet and slowly rose up to his shoulders, his neck, his skull... "No, no, no, please...don't happen again," he gripped onto the wall for something to hold onto as grey crawled over his vision once more.

[Thiefheart {Tannor}♙]

"Nate!" an officer greeted him, he wasn't smiling and his voice carried a little hurry in it, "I'm afraid we have bad news and good news"

"In this case though" another officer sighed, "we'll have to tell you the bad news first"

Nate nodded and walked over to them, Time following behind, "very well" his voice seemed to change dramatically from playful to serious and mature.

The officer started giving the report, "during the multiple accounts of theft attacks, we've captured only one of the mass group you've perdicted."

Nate nodded, already knowing this.

"Yet even though the capture and imprisonment was successful" the officer looked at everyone there, 5 others stood with him as he gave the news, "we've just lost him today, he has escaped"

[»αηιмαℓ«]

Jake's eyes found a passing woman who didn't...her eyes passed right over him as if he wasn't there. "Please, ma'am," he pleaded. "Help me-"
The world blurred together, mixing as if multiple pains in a bowl...and Jake lost consciousness.
When he awoke, he was in..well, he wasn't sure. Lots of pine trees, though. It looked like a run-down little town.
"Boy."
Jake turned around, aware that he was unclothed once more. It was the same mysterious man as before...the one with the black-crowned fedora. He stood leaning against a bricked general store.
"Sir," Jake returned lightly, nervous. "Um, do you have any clothes I can borrow?"
The man shook his head. "The vision won't last long, Timewalker. It's best you not dress."
Jake stared at him as he walked over. "Timewalker?" he repeated.
The man nodded. "Son, do you know who you are?"
Jake was taken aback. "A runaway and a scared teenager. What's it to you? Sir?"
The man smiled. His skin was very dark, the color of raw cocoa, and his shadowed eyes were so light they seemed silver. "It means everything, Timewalker. How are we supposed to act if we do not know ourselves?"
Jake thought on that, biting his lip softly. "Why am I here?" he finally asked. "What am I doing here in...in..."
"Maine. Portland to be exact." The man looked up at the black and blue sky and the bloody harvest moon. "And for why you find yourself here, of all places...it is up to you to figure that out."
"What do you mean?" Jake asked quickly.
The man only smiled once more. "Goodbye, Jake. One day you shall understand. You'll know your true part in the Prophecy. You'll be bonded with a true Family."
"But, sir-"
The world spun out of balance. Jake awoke to find himself curled on the street, shivering yet in his original clothes. He looked up and saw the lady from before looking down at him with sunglasses. "You alright, kid?"
Jake got to his feet and nodded. "I...I..thank you," he managed. The woman nodded and walked off. Jake sat shakily back onto the bench and suddenly had the feeling that someone unlikely was searching for him. He tugged at the sleeve of his t-shirt and looked around nervously. Was it the man - No, of course not. He chuckled to himself, gathered his wit, and stood, making his way back down the street.

[Thiefheart {Tannor}♙]

"What?!" Time blinked, "how?!"

The officer rubbed his eyes, "we don't know, with the security here he shouldn't have even been able to step foot on the outside of the bars. Though the good thing is that he didn't go too far without being noticed"

"Yet" one of the officers in the back added, "he managed to take one of our motorcycles and speed off, we already sent 3 police cars after him, including Mike since he has the most skill in manuveuring with the motorcycles"

Nate nodded, twirling his hair in thought. The escape was again another well planed theft, taking not only freedom but a motorcycle as well, "have you received any updates yet about the chase?"

"In fact" the officers looked at each other, "we have..."

Time groaned, face palming, "more bad news?"

The officers nodded, "I'm afraid the others has lost him in the chase as well" then he smiled a bit, "but Mike is still on it, we haven't recieved update from him yet but that can only mean he's still following him"

"Then we'll just have to wait" Nate stated, turning to the officers, "in any case you'll get an update from Mike, please contact me again" he turned and walked out.

Time stood in the middle, looking at Nate then the officers then back again, "uh..." he turned and ran after Nate, "wait up!"

The head officer sighed, "Nate must be very angry, even though he doesn't show it"

The other officers nodded, "yes... he went through a lot to just get that one prisoner, now to hear his work has been thrown away just like that" he groaned, "that can even send the most unemotional mad"

[»αηιмαℓ«]

[Whoa - not what I expected, but better! I wonder who this mysterious escapee may be..]

Jake punched the brick wall beside him. Hard, and then harder. His hand cried out in pain, but he ignored it. "First you two, and now him." He punched again and heard a traumitizing crack. He paused and looked down at his fist. It was mangled and bloody. "Shoot." He backed away a few steps and looked at the wall - covered in his own blood. He bent his head and began down the street once more.

"We should go after Jake," Sarah argued.
"No!" Jason muttered. He paused. "No. Come, Kitty." He took off towards the town.

[Thiefheart {Tannor}♙]

OOC: Glad you like it!

Time rushed down the hallways with Nate, "hey, slow down will you?"

Nate gritted his teeth and closed his eyes but didn't slow down.

Time sighed and asked, "are you okay?"

"I'm fine" Nate said through gritted teeth, "why on earth will I be not fine?!"

Time stood in front of Nate, "that's not what that attitude reads" he put his hands on his waist, "listen, I know you're depressed, I am too, I mean, I built this place to help with investigations and to hear that there is a falter in the blueprints... it's not easy to take"

Nate glared up at Time and walked around him, only to be stopped by his arm, "really Nate, don't you remember Beyond?" he smiled, "we don't know the guy's name but he'll defenitly know for sure, if the escape is that well planned all the photos and videos of the prisoner would be deleted but I doubt that"

Nate looked at Time again, with new interest, "go on" he said, twirling his hair.

Time sighed, glad that he finally got his friend's attention, "we can show them to Beyond and with eyes like his then we'll find that name" he smiled.

[»αηιмαℓ«]

"Jake?" Jason and Sarah entered town.
"Jake? Where are you? Jake?" Sarah looked around, her copper-gold eyes wide. The two peered around a bend.
"He isn't here, Sarah. He'll..he'll come back, won't he?" Jason's voice was oddly focused. "This is all my fault. If I hadn't broke it to him so fast.."
"It was your fault, Jason. WAS. But you can't help that now. Maybe he's still here-"
Her voice faltered as they both paused, staring up at the Headquarters.
"We shouldn't be here." Jason sounded like he was torn in two. "We shouldn't be here, Sarah.." he repeated, taking a step back. "They'll remember me. Somebody will."
"Jason." Sarah [Kitty] grabbed both his shoulders and tried to meet his eyes. "J, look at me." He finally did. "It was only one man."
"The old one. The one they all knew. His blood, on the tiled floor.." Jason took another step back and wrenched from Kitty's grip. "Come on." He didn't move but glanced back up at the Headquarters.

[Jason's dad was drunk a lot and beat his wife when so. He finally turned on Jason, and Jason ran away at age 16, being called as 'Lost'. He returned one last time to give payback to his father, who apparently killed Jason's brother, Ian. Instead, he was stopped by a man of the Headquarters, friend of an old leader, and turned on him when a gun slid out of his pocket. Jason's dad moved since then, divorcing his wife and leaving her to solitude once and for all.]

Jake stared down at his hand as he walked and almost walked into someone. "Sorry," he muttered, not looking up.

[Thiefheart {Tannor}♙]

OOC: Though you may wanna double check that post cause this is FBI headquarters, or nicknamed Ratio headquarters after the creator and designer, Light Ratio. It's a secret place and getting in the REAL headquarters isn't a walk in, this is the second one, made for visitors.

IC: (Little timeskip )
"WHAT?!" Time placed his hands on the table in front of him, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO?!"

Beyond gritted his teeth in fustration, "I'm not a tool for you to use alright?! I don't care how urgent it is but this is meaningless!"

Nate placed his hands on the table as well, "Beyond Birthday! You know very well that we went through a lot to get one prisoner! Don't you care about the work we all did?!"

Beyond growled at Nate, "WE?! I barely have anything to do with this at all! And besides, why should I care if that prisoner escapes? It's not like he's going to tell us anything"

Time snapped at Beyond, "you've got to be KIDDING ME! You are L's double! How to you-" he froze, seeing Beyond's expression when he told him that he is L, "I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to-"

"-Forget it" Beyond sighed at Time, "just forget it all" he walked out of the room, leaving the two behind in his office.
