Chapter Seventeen

Kapitän Nazi led them through the network of corridors until they finally arrived at an elevator they’d never used before.

“They don’t monitor this one,” he said. “They won’t know you’re gone. Not right away, at least.”

“So… wait. You’re helping us go out there?” said Anna. “Shouldn’t you be trying to talk us out of it?”

From the way she said it, it was clear she’d have been quite happy to have been talked out of it, and she could barely hide her disappointment when Nazi shook his head.

“Something’s not right,” said the Kapitän. “I worked with the Beef Chief a couple of times. The way he killed those people, it suggests he’s attained a whole new level of power.”

“All the more reason for us not to go!” Sam pointed out.

“You mean all the more reason for us to go,” Randy countered. “If he’s stronger then there’s no saying who he might kill next.”

“Yes, us, probably,” Anna said. She turned back to Nazi. “Seriously, dude, you should be talking us out of this.”

“Wait,” said Sam. “How did you even know where we were going? Have you been spying on us?”

He nudged Anna. “He’s been spying on us!”

“I know because I’m the one who told Randy where to find him,” said Kapitän Nazi, looking a little confused.

“I thought you said a butterfly told you?” said Sam accusingly.

“A butterfly also told me,” Randy insisted. “Two things told me—this ex-Nazi and a butterfly. You know what they say, don’t you?”

“Is it something about you needing psychiatric help?” Anna asked.

“Always check your sources,” Randy replied. “Kapitän Nazi told me, but I had a butterfly double-check.”

“Please, call me John,” Kapitän Nazi urged. He pressed the call button on the elevator and gazed anxiously along the corridor as the car began to rumble downward. “Chuck won’t be happy, but I’ll keep him off your trail for as long as I can.”

“Wait, you’re not coming?” asked Anna. “Why aren’t you coming?”

Kapitän Nazi shook his head. “I can’t. This isn’t my fight. Besides, Chuck has a tracking implant in my head. He’s still worried I’ll go rogue.”

Sam nodded vaguely, impressed by this. He’d thought Chuck was a fool for trusting Nazi, so it was reassuring to hear he didn’t fully.

“If I leave the complex without permission, the best case scenario is it’ll trigger the alarm and put the place in lockdown before we can get out,” Nazi explained.

“And what’s the worst case scenario?” Anna asked.

“My head will explode,” the Kapitän said. “And no, before you ask, that isn’t a joke.”

The elevator door opened. Nazi stepped aside and gestured for them to pile in. “Go. Go,” he told them. “Find out what’s going on and put a stop to it.”

“We will,” Randy growled. “In the name of justice!”

Anna rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

“Good luck,” Nazi told them. He jammed his arm into the door just as it started to close, stopping it. “Oh, and when you catch up with the Beef Chief, you might want to activate Battle Mode.
