CHAPTER THREE
Neal's eyes went wide, the slimy creature flickered into Callum's form and collapsed to the ground. It took him a minute to realize what just happened before scrambling over to the flautist's unconscious body.
“My god, what the hell, Callum?”
The bassist scooped Callum up into his arms, trying to shake him awake.
“Careful Neal, you might hurt him. I don't know if he'll ever wake up. I think that's why he was so scared.”
Leroy's jaw slackened. “That’s how you knew. You said your kind didn't have emotions, but he did.”
The Daryl clone nodded. “Indeed. He was touching Neal which we would never do. Touching another is a human trait, not one of ours.”
Neal shook his head. “I don't understand. Why won't he wake up?”
The Daryl clone snorted. “Don't you remember on the bus? You were weak after trying our transformer for only five minutes. He's been wearing that for a day or more. It's not meant to be used with human DNA. Who knows what kind of damage it did to his body?”
“But damn it Callum! You knew it would do this to your body!”
Leroy put a hand on Neal's shoulder. “Neal, that isn't helping. We need to get him back home, have some doctors check him out.”
Neal snorted. “And how are we supposed to do that?
The Daryl clone sighed. “He's right. I don't know how to get you off the ship. I had thought of using the transformers briefly but we can't because of Callum. It could kill all of you...and I don't want that. I've grown fond of you all.”
Leroy gave him a pained look. “But we have to do something. We can't just sit here waiting for others to find us. Hell, I'm surprised they haven't yet.”
“Actually, it looks like Callum managed to jammed the lab door shut. It was open when you came through, but now it's not.”
Leroy waved his hand. “Still, that doesn't guarantee that we won't be found. If Daryl is as special as you say he is, they're not going to forget about him for very long.
A bed squeak filled the room and two sets of eyes looked across the room.
The Daryl clone cocked his head to the side. “What are they doing over there?”
Leroy chuckled. “Exploring each other. I assume Daryl's finally gotten over his fear of Moses.”
“But that fast? Shouldn't it take longer?”
Leroy shook his head. “Daryl is unique in a way. He bounces back from most things.”
“Wow. I wish I could be like that. I'm still haunted by Moses' actions on that night.”
Leroy shrugged. “I'm sure Daryl is still going to see them in his dreams, but his love for Moses is harder to break. You'd basically have to remove his heart to stop him from caring about our shy bassist.”
Neal snorted. “When did you get so smart to Daryl's feelings?”
Leroy chuckled at him. “Years around you, I guess. You and I have known him the longest out of anyone. Besides what else am I supposed to watch?”
The bassist rolled his eyes and glanced back down at Callum.
