CHAPTER 15

After only a minor amount of debate, Buddy and Alexa convinced Maggie to enter the rickshaw. They quickly arrived at the parking garage.

“What the hell was that?” Maggie yelled. She jumped out of the vehicle as though it were possessed.

“Well, umm,” Buddy stammered, “it's a--”

“It's just a rickshaw,” Alexa completed Buddy's sentence nonchalantly. “Come on, we have to go talk to Artie.” Alexa walked towards the entrance of the complex.

“Oh no,” Maggie continued. “I'm not going anywhere with you until you tell me how in the world I ended up here. We were just at my apartment a few--”

“Maggie, relax,” Buddy responded. “If you come inside, I can explain everything. I promise you'll be safe.”

Maggie stared hard at Buddy briefly and then looked to Alexa, who was waving them in her direction.

“Okay, Buddy, I'll trust you. But you had better have a damn good explanation.”

“Well, it's an odd one anyways,” Buddy laughed. He pulled Maggie in Alexa's direction and they entered the grand foyer. Maggie's contesting was silenced.

“Pretty cool, huh Mags.”

“What have you gotten yourself into, Buddy?”

“I'm not really sure. But, it's pretty darn cool at least, right?”

“Come on you two, we can give Maggie the tour later. We really need to tell Artie what just happened.”

“What did just happen?” Maggie asked as they walked to the elevator on the other side of the room.

“Well, I'm not sure where to start,” Buddy began.

“It's pretty easy, Maggie. Buddy's being chased by some government agents. They think he's responsible for something he didn't do. Speaking of which, how did you manage to get away from them?”

“Well, they kinda ran.”

“Yeah? Why?”

“Wait, why are there government agents after you? What kind of government agents?”

“That's hard to explain, Mags.”

“Why'd they run, Buddy?”

“I guess because Damon showed up.”

“Damon? Really?”

“Damon?” Maggie asked, flustered. They had now reached the elevator, Alexa pressed the call button.

“Did you say Damon attacked you, Buddy?” D.A.W.N.'s face appeared on the screen next to the elevator. Maggie jumped and let out a short scream.

“Don't worry Mags, it's only D.A.W.N.”

“Are you okay, Buddy? You look okay, but you never really know, do you?”

“I'm fine D.A.W.N., really.” The elevator doors opened and the group stepped inside. Alexa pressed the red button.

“So, I slept right through Damon? What happened? Did you take him out? I mean, I guess since we're on the run, probably not, huh?”

“No, I didn't stand a chance. It's a good thing that Reed kid showed up. If it weren't for him, I'm sure we'd both be toast by now.”

“Are you talking about Ryan?”

“Yeah, you know him?”

“Yeah,” Alexa groaned.

“Okay, I'm pretty sure I was promised some sort of explanation about what's going on here.” The elevator doors opened and Alexa gave the standard two knocks on the red door.

“Well,” Buddy began. The red door opened and Jeff stood in the doorway. Alexa pushed past him, Buddy started doing the same, but Jeff stood his ground. “Oh, come on Jeff, didn't we already go over this?”

“Who's that?” Jeff asked accusingly.

“My sister, now let us through.
