The Brothers Locke

Episode 6: A Heel Among Us

The lobby of The Paramount was a disaster. Bodies were thrown everywhere. The walls showed the scars and stains of monster Mongrel’s path out of the building. The only people that remained were either unconscious, tending to the fallen, or dead.

The Locke Brothers emerged from the elevator along with Bulk Brown and the teenagers to see the carnage left behind. It took a moment or two for them to take in the savagery that must have happened here. As much as they may have been concerned about those injured, they were more concerned about the fate of their companions, Bando and Dana, who went in pursuit of Mongrel and the operative called No One who had brought the creature to the building.

“I don’t see them,” Mouth said as he looked around the lobby.

“They may have followed them out of here,” Bulk Brown suggested while still clutching at his injured leg.

“I see them,” signed Sharp to his brothers. “Or at least, I see Bando.”

He found the seven-foot tall mercenary slumped against the wall near the entrance to the lobby. When they reached him, he was conscious but apparently in severe pain from an unseen wound. His hand was on the left side of his abdomen as he grimaced from his injury.

“They … they … took her,” he said.

“Who took who? They took Dana?” Bulk Brown asked.

“Yeah.”

“Why would they take her?”

“No idea. Can you help me up?”

Bulk assisted Bando to his feet. He clutched at his stomach again and then took a few deep breaths.

“How did that happen? Where did they go? Do you know?” Sharp was signing frantically.

“What’s he saying?” Bando asked Mouth and Echo.

“He’s concerned about Dana. He wants to know if you know where they took her,” Mouth explained. “He wouldn’t know, brother,” he said turning his attention back to Sharp. “She’s gone.”

Mouth watched as Sharp, whose feelings for Dana had been no secret, tried to process his fear and anger at her abduction. His eyes welled up, but before the tears rolled down his face, he turned from the rest of the group and walked off to be alone.

“They left you here?” Echo asked Bando.

“Well, they did try to kill me, but it looked like they were in a rush. Ah, my stomach! That thing hits hard! They didn’t say anything, they just took her, and who knows where they could be now. They took one of the security vehicles and could be on their way out of the city by now.”

“We can check the security cameras,” Bulk suggested. “Maybe we can see where they were headed or pick up something they might have said.”

“That slimy guy shot out all the cameras, apparently,” Bando said.

“So there’s no way to find out where they went.”

“Oh, I’m sure we can track them down, but who knows where they’re going or who they’re meeting up with. Did the Councilman have any clues?”

“All he said was that the slimy guy was probably working for The Miscellany,” Kale said.
