himself sick threw up in the bucket. He groaned as he threw up again repeatedly over and over while coughing between bouts of throwing up. He groaned as he sensed a powerful urge hit him felt the tube was still in its familiar spot rolled his eyes groaning loudly as he released the toxins within him for a lengthy period of time. Jinks felt himself stop stopped rolling his eyes to gasp loudly. He felt himself still sweaty but the sickness feeling was still there but the throwing up feeling ceased. He felt tired gently laid his form back while still holding the bucket in his hands. He sighed breathing deeply eyes staring at the ceiling showing fluorescent lights shining down on him. He felt himself sleepy figured that it was from his sickness shut his eyes and passed out unconscious.

  Jinks came to with a jerk of eyes open to discover the bucket still held in his hand but felt lighter from the weight on him. He felt himself sick again abruptly sat up and aimed his mouth in the bucket opening as he again threw up repeatedly over and over while coughing between bouts. He again felt the familiar urge rolled his eyes releasing the toxins within him and felt he better from it. He sighed feeling himself no longer sweaty but sticky all over with his hospital gown feeling grimy to the touch. He sigh feeling like needing to shower but still restrained to the bed by the restraints on him. He groaned as he again threw up repeatedly over and over into the bucket while coughing between bouts. He felt sleepy yawned very hard shocking him and laid his form down on the bed hands still holding the bucket as he shut his eyes and passed out unconscious.

  Jinks came to with eyes open unfocused on the room around him feeling himself still sick but the throw up feeling was gone along with the stickiness feeling and felt something different. His bed felt familiar as he laid on it while feeling himself like he had a good scrubbing bath from the feeling of his skin and was wearing pajama pants with blankets up to his chest covering him. He figured to himself that he was home and saw a blurry movement come into his eyes sight. He felt a hand touch his forehead feeling like Victoria’s and his senses blared a warning as he felt sleepiness shut his eyes passing out unconscious.

  Jinks heard a familiar sound jerked open his eyes to looking around with clear eyes sight and feeling himself much better but still weak. He turned his head towards the alarm clock seeing it blared eight o’clock in the a.m.

  He spoke “Sleep mode time.”

  He heard the electronic voice speak “ninety six hours.”

  He frowned as he did some mental math and calculated four days of sleeping. With a shrug he got up from the bed slowly and stood up feeling himself strong but needing nourishment. Sighing he walked into the bathroom which once inside stripped himself of his pajama pants leaving them piled on the floor and entered the shower stall turning on the water to heat toleration levels. He sighed feeling the water’s spray wetting him and brought his face to the water raising it up. He rubbed hands on his face and hair the lowered his face to look for his soap and shampoo which he found and began cleansing himself thoroughly. He sighed feeling the water wash away the soap and shampoo on his form and felt himself completely cleaned up turned the water off and walked out of the shower to grab the towel and dried himself thoroughly. He put away the towel and he went to the sink counter finding folded clothing on top of it and grabbed the underwear shorts putting it on his form followed by the pants. He reached for the long sleeve shirt and paused staring at the mirror seeing an outline in his chest over his heart. He lowered his hand and leaned against the counter eyes on the outline that looked like it was square with round points and brought a hand to the outline feeling its hardness and sensed it was underneath his skin on top of his chest muscle. He felt himself confused wondering what it was for.

  Jinks got a communication from Lance speaking “That’s a sensor monitoring your life signs and body functions including broadcasting your location. The doctors in the Master organization implanted you with that in exchange for releasing you from the asylum due to people being nervous about you causing earthquakes. Put up with it, Jinks for I mean it.”

  He shrugged and grabbed his shirt putting it on finding it a plain long sleeve shirt. He sat down on the stool and grabbed his socks putting them on along with the sneakers then stood up. He grabbed his hairbrush and brushed his hair then walked out of the bathroom after putting down the hairbrush. He went to the bedroom doors and paused to glare at the doors remembering Gustav drugging him flashing in his mind.

  He heard from Lance speaking “The drugging was done because of Hettinger holding Victoria hostage demanding you unconscious which your servants obeyed doing his orders.”

  Jinks willed he to calm yanked open the doors to spot Gustav in his familiar spot looking nervous in his eyes despite having his face composed in a familiar expression. He walked out ignoring Gustav and went to the dining room followed by the butler. He sat down at the table in a chair and placed his hands clasped in front of him on the table eyes staring at it while hearing Gustav going into the kitchen.

  He found the familiar newspapers were still not on the table felt himself annoyed and thought to he “I think I should know what the public is saying about me. I’m not happy being kept in the dark about the public’s opinion about me, harrumph.”

  He frowned as Lance’s image flashed in his mind followed by his father’s voice speaking “I’ll let you know when you can find out what their opinion is once you’re ready.”

  He protest mentally “Father, don’t tell me this kept in the dark thing is because of fears that I’ll react violently.”

  He heard from Lance “That’s exactly why you’re kept in the dark and stop complaining about it. I mean it Jinks.”

  He sighed softly as the kitchen doors banged open and sensed Jacqueline in the room who placed a tray with dishware on it smelling of food in front of him. He ignored Jacqueline to eye the food seeing it was two grilled cheese sandwiches and a good sized pile of French fries. He found himself ravenously hungry gobbled up the food in fast motions with his hands grabbing them. Once done eating everything on his plate he grabbed the cup of pink liquid and brought it to his lips discovering it was his familiar drink of strawberry milkshake which he gulped down and grabbed the second cup of strawberry milkshake and again gulped down the contents. He felt himself better to place the cup on the tray and grabbed the napkin to wipe his mouth and hands then placed it back on the tray.

  He spoke as Jacqueline reached down to take the tray “How’s Victoria doing?”

  He eyed Jacqueline who lifted up the tray and she spoke looking at him with a calm look in her face and eyes “She’s doing alright. She’s at school at the moment. The school had already called to say that she has arrived safely and that they have beefed up security to protect her after hearing of her kidnapping.”

  He frowned as Jacqueline paused to adjust the tray with her hands then she continued speaking “I should tell you that there’s hidden security guards protecting Victoria when she travels around in the city with people including several vehicle escorts following her when she’s traveling in one of the cars. The Master Organization have Victoria monitored for her safely from harm.”

  He nodded his head as Jacqueline stopped talking to stare at him with the calm expression on her face.

  He sighed and spoke “Dismissed.”

  He watched her leave the dining room entering the kitchen with the doors slamming behind her. Jinks sighed again getting up from the table going to the hallway. His feet took him to the library room which he went to a chair and sat feeling a book between the pillow and the chair. Grumbling of annoyance he reached behind him and yanked out the book to glare at it seeing it was an apparent romance novel by the cover showing a bare chest male with long hair wearing odd clothes and standing in a pose with a female wearing odd clothes cuddling up to him on her side. He slammed the book onto the table between chairs and sat back folding his arms.

  He heard a familiar voice speaking in his mind with a headache coming onto him sounding annoyed “No, I wouldn’t do that I if I we
re you.”

  Jinks stiffened recognizing the voice as Ramses who continued talking “No uh I still wouldn’t order that transporting Horus to you if I were you. Nope I still insist on not doing it.”

  Jinks stood up as Ramses paused and then heard the Meritanian speak again “Don’t say I warned you High Council. Anyway here he comes.”

  He blinked his eyes to discover the room had changed and found himself in the High Council’s throne room and felt himself abruptly restrained by clawed hands grabbing his arms with ironclad grips.

  He gave off a sound of disgust as Shad spoke sounding amused “Well Horus, we want to talk to Lance so let him through now.”

  He heard from Lance “Forget it I’m not doing that period.”

  Jinks spoke “Lance says forget it I’m not doing that period.”

  He heard a harrumph from Anubis followed by the gonoid head warrior speaking in a loud whisper “Sounds like Lance can communicate his words to Horus.”

  He frowned as Onya spoke sounding annoyed “Oh come on Lance come through and talk to us.”

  Jinks shook his head no as Lance sounded in his mind “No way I’m not doing that.”

  He repeated Lance’s words using the words Lance says
