Chapter 86

(Adam's P.O.V)

It's been hours and no one has heard of Jeremy. His phone kept going to voice mail not a trace of him was left behind. Gilbert and i visited his apartment we rang the buzzer but no answer we made our way in the building as we stood before his door we knocked and again not a sound. I turned the door nob and to our surprise the door was left open. Gilbert and i exchanged looks as we entered his unit. His apartment looked very simple and nothing out of the ordinary. Plain looking and boring with old lady furniture and don't get me started on the blue and red carpet that looked like it belonged in hotel hallways. All in all odd like Jeremy. His cat walked around meowing, she circled our legs begging for attention.

It was strange it was like he just disappeared without a trace. Gilbert searched his room as i scanned the living room hoping for some clues.

"Something is not right here Adam all his computers are destroyed. I tried to start them up but the screens are black its as if someone fried the hard drive." Gilberts said.

"What about his laptop?" I asked .

"No good, its the same thing....i just don't understand. did something happen to him?" Gilbert was growing concerned and to be honest so was i. Something must of happened to him this wasn't like Jeremy at all. his text was alarming. "You think Harry got him too?" I wondered.

"That could very well be… a part of his text was "help." Gilbert rubbed his chin in though.

"Meow, meow" his cat kept rubbing against my leg. I hate animals and this one was so persistent. I pushed it away but it kept coming back with annoying loud meows as it rubbed against my foot. "What's wrong with this thing? get lost already." I continued to push it away. "Oh come on now don't be so harsh to this little guy." Gilbert picked up the cat and my eyes caught sight of his collar. It had a square shaped pendant on its collar. "His collar..." i tailed off as i reached for the collar i took it off the cat to analyze it more. "What about it?" Gilbert asked with a questioning look. I noticed it was like those lock pendants that can open. i took it apart and to our surprise there was a USB chip in it. Gilbert and i looked at each other in surprise. He let the cat down as it ran towards Jeremy's room. "This stupid cat was trying to tell us this wasn't it?" I laughed. "I highly doubt it. Cans can't be that intelligent…it's a mere coincidence don't be such a fool" Gilbert chuckled at my hypothesis. "I think so, come on, Jeremy is his owner…the genius must have taught it sign language as well I wouldn't be surprised if he did." I said. He gave me sarcastic look and shook his head. "No, no, that would be scientifically impossible." inserted the chip into his own laptop. And a video started to play. Jeremy's face appeared on the screen.

"If you found this video congratulations to Gilbert for finding it. i know the stupid Scorpion isn't smart enough to figure out I put a USB in Einstein's collar I frowned and looked at Gilbert who was giggling.

"I don't have much time so i will say what I can. Harry is out to get me because I helped Honey enter the Mystro building. He must have figured out who I really am by now….Honey was caught bye security guards stealing documents from Harry's office. They are taking her to the mountains I used tacking device on her phone and that is where they are headed. I will put a self destruct timer on my data system so that all my work and our mission data is erased. They will have to take me in with no information. Don't worry they are going to have to torture me to talk which I wont. I'm afraid this is good bye my friends i have had fun working with you guys but I'm afraid my time is near." He paused as he wiped tears from under his glasses. There was a nock at his door as his eyes winded. "I guess they are here. well if i don't see you guys again.. good morning, good afternoon, and goodnight." The screened went blank. "Lets go!" Gilbert announced as he headed towards the door. I followed as i called Andrew. "It's go…we move out now." I said through the phone.

"Roger." He responded and we hung up. I got in my car and Gilbert rode passenger. He fiddled with his laptop and i drove at top speed.

I know i probably wont make it out alive...but i will glad put my life on the line for Honey.
