Chapter 5
“You alright?”
Pogue turned his hateful glare towards Tyler, making the younger boy flinch. “What the hell do you think?”
Tyler jumped slightly and remained quiet. Guilt started seeping into Pogue’s heart but he was too enraged to care. Fucking Gorman; he should’ve known the elder wouldn’t have passed up a chance to fuck around with his head.
That’s all he ever did to him.
Tyler cleared his throat nervously and waited until Pogue turned his head before he spoke.
“Do you want me to take you home?”
“Please.” Pogue grumbled as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
The whole right side of his head was pulsating. He felt like someone had just hit him with a ten pound hammer over and over again.
(Fucking Gorman)
“Which street do I turn off on?”
“Fifth.” Pogue said in the middle of sorting through the mess inside his head.
Tyler nodded and turned off on the street Pogue pointed out.
“It’s right there.” Pogue pointed at the small apartment complex off towards the right side.
The throbbing inside of his head dulled slowly. He was back on familiar grounds, he could hopefully control himself now.
“Are you going to be okay?” Tyler asked as he parked the Jeep.
“I’ll be okay in a few minutes.”
Tyler looked him over. “You want me to stay?”
Pogue was about to refuse when he felt Tyler’s concern wash over him. Even if he refused he knew that wouldn’t completely get rid of the younger boy.
“If you want.” He said as he slowly climbed out of the Jeep.
Tyler locked up and followed him quietly. Pogue staggered a few times on the way and Tyler was quick to grab him before he fell over.
“Here give me your keys.” Tyler held out his hand as they reached Pogue’s front door.
Pogue grumbled quietly and tossed his keys over at him. Tyler caught them with one hand and after a long moment of trying to see which key fit into the damn lock he had the door open.
“Home sweet home.” Pogue sighed as he stumbled his way passed the front door. “All I have is a couch for you to sleep on.”
“That’s fine.” Tyler said as he shut the front door and locked it behind them.
“There should be an extra blanket in the closet over there.”
Tyler examined the couch and gave Pogue a blank look. “Looks comfy.”
“Sleep on the floor for all I care.” Pogue grumbled back.
He knew Tyler was just playing with him but at the moment, he was just too tired to care. Having your head messed with by a half-crazed geyser is very exhausting.
“I’m gonna get some sleep.”
Tyler nodded at him. “You should, you look like shit.”
“Thanks.” Pogue waved over his shoulder as he headed into his bedroom.
He didn’t even bother shutting the door as he made his way over towards his bed.
**************
From the shadows Pogue watched quietly.
Across the street from him a man was locking the front of a building. He could hear the soft notes of the key-panel as the numbers were entered. The man waited until the numbers flashed red and then walked the short distance towards his car.
Pogue continued watching him and didn’t leave the safety of the shadows until the man’s car was well out of sight, then he crossed the street.
He completely ignored the key-panel and unlocked the front doors with a quick flash of his eyes. Cautiously he poked his head through the large double doors, looking for the security cameras. He located them and disengaged them with his powers.
Once the cost was clear he shut the main doors and walked through the dark lobby. He ignored the signs that showed the layout of the building; he knew were to go.
He stopped in front of the elevators and growled when he noticed they were locked and he needed a card to access them. Swearing under his breath he headed towards the main stairs. He only had to go two floors up anyway so it wasn’t that big of a deal.
He climbed to the 3rd floor as quickly as his legs could carry him. As he expected the door leading towards his floor was locked and another quick flash of his eyes it quietly sprung open for him. The hallway was sit lit so it wasn’t much trouble for him to locate the room he was looking for.
He turned the handle on the door and entered the small lab. After a quick look around his eyes located the lab’s main computer and turned it on. Using his powers he hacked into the file named “Patient Records” and tipped a name in; Collins, Chase
After waiting for a few seconds the computer brought the information up. After scanning the information he found what he was looking for and after telling the computer to print the file he got up and walked over towards the one of the many cold tanks used for storing cold blood samples.
He pulled the top open on the one marked C and started looking through the small vials. None of them were what he was looking for. He moved over towards the second one and once again looked through the names.
Collins, Chase.
A small grin came towards his face and he reached down and pulled the small vile from it’s holder. He read the name again, making sure it was the one he was looking for and quickly tucked it in his pocket.
Just as he was about to turn around he felt a light source fall on his back.
“Hey you!” A shaky voice said behind him.
Pogue turned around and glared at the security guard standing behind him. A dark look came towards his face as he slowly raised his hand.
The security guard eyed him closely. “Hey, what are you–”
That was all he got out because Pogue waved his hand and sent him flying across the room into one of the storage tanks. Pogue laughed at him and grabbed the document that he printed off the counter before leaving the room. He continued down the hallway, both thankful and annoyed that he didn’t have another guard to play with.
He happily skipped down the stairs towards the 1st floor and once again passed through the main lobby. His eyes caught a glimpse of himself in the huge wall mirror behind the receptionist’s desk and he did a double take.
It wasn’t his reflection that stared back at him...it was Caleb’s!
He looked down at his hands, they weren’t his. The clothing wasn’t his either.
He was Caleb...
Just as the realization dawned on him he felt a powerful force attack his mind. Someone else was there with him and from the aggression of the attack it was clear they didn’t want Pogue there.
Pogue tried to fight against it. He wanted to stay connected with Caleb; he had too! He didn’t know why but he felt like he needed to protect Caleb from this unknown intruder.
Suddenly the unknown presence pushed against his own mind and spoke.
Now, now, don’t you know it’s rude to pry into things that don’t concern you.
That voice...it wasn’t Caleb’s but it felt familiar...too familiar that it brought a chill to Pogue’s spine.
“Who are you?” He asked, still sensing the presence around him.
He felt the presence push against him again.
That’s none of your concern. Now go run along with the rest of the little Ipswich boys.
“No.” Pogue growled. “What the fuck are you doing with Caleb?”
There was a long silence before he felt the voice speak again.
Don’t concern yourself about him. He’s mine now.
“What?”
I said, get out!
“No!” Pogue used his own mind to push against the entity.
Get out!
The presence pushed against him hard but Pogue fought to hold onto Caleb’s mind. Somewhere close to him, Pogue felt another presence stir. It was weak but he felt it was there.
Pogue?
Pogue felt the presence grow angry and it used more force this time.
Dammit, you woke him up! Get out!
With one more hard push, Pogue felt his ties on Caleb’s mind break. The world around him turned black as he floated farther and farther away from Caleb’s mind. However, just before the darkness engulfed him once more the heard a soft voice call his name.
Pogue, save me...
***************
Pogue’s eyes snapped open as he felt his subconscious return to him. He was back in his bedroom. He slowly sat up and moaned. His mind basically felt like it was torn into thousands of tiny pieces.
“Pogue?”
Pogue looked up towards the door and saw that Tyler was standing there with concern on his face.
“Are you okay? I heard you cry out.”
Pogue blinked a few times before he cleared his throat.
“Um, it’s nothing. Just had a bad dream.”
Tyler stared at him quietly for a moment. “Okay, I was just wondering. You were yelling really loud.”
Tyler gave him one more worried look before he left. Pogue heard his footsteps walk down the hallway and waited until he couldn’t hear them anymore to let out the quiet sob that was wedged deep in his throat.
That was Caleb’s voice that called out to him.
Caleb was alive...
“You alright?”
Pogue turned his hateful glare towards Tyler, making the younger boy flinch. “What the hell do you think?”
