Jonas agreed and said, “now we have arrived let’s get ready to snatch him”
“Once we have him back at ST1, we can decide what you want to do with him”
David cautiously asked, “how do you disintegrate them?”
Jonas looked back, “once they are in the capsule, you have the choice, you can keep them there in a state of sedation forever, or you can choose to push the disintegration button, which wipes the whole capsule clean in one massive ball of fire, all that is left is a small pile of dust which is extracted away into the history of time.”
“They are your only options though, you get no questions, you get no time with them, the revenge is ultimate, but it is not prolonged, they either sleep forever or become dust”
Jonas looked David in the eyes “What will you choose?”
David looked at Jonas and smiled … “let’s get him first, then we will see”
The 8.47 train out of Piccadilly arrived bang on time at the platform. The train doors opened and Kris Kelley shuffled off the carriage and onto the deserted station.
The snatchers lay in wait, for now they had to, they knew that CCTV would pick up any disappearing person even if it wouldn’t see them.
They had to wait until he was out of sight and this was the perfect place for it.
Kris ambled out of the station and began the short walk up the dark road to his house. David and Jonas were lying in wait, and as soon as he was out of range of the cameras they began to move forward.
David’s heart was racing, the anger and rage inside was boiling up, but Jonas calmed him - “focus on the snatch, nothing else” he said, “once you have hold, press the orbiter and we will return to ST1”
Kris saw nothing, they grabbed him roughly and pressed the blue button on the Orbitor and as quick as that he was whisked away to the Snatch Team.
David violently bounced Kris along the narrow corridor towards the containment capsules. He punched him and he kicked out at him, the hatred poured out of him. He could not stop himself.
Rymer and Geela had to rush in to control matters. They seperated David from Kris and calmed the situation down.
“David, put him in the capsule” said Geela, “once he is there you will feel the relief”
David’s eyes flashed blue and he was suddenly calm again.
They bundled the cowering Kris into capsule 737 and closed the door. It slid shut and the room was silent. Kris looked up through the clear outer coating, shocked and scared.
Rymer and Geela looked at David and calmly said “so, David, what now?”
David looked down at Kris, his eyes flashed blue and he smiled.
