Chapter Text
Aubrey had to spend several hours in detention… which sucks…… greatly… well, actually, it wasn’t too bad. Any time out of “home” is always better than seeing her neglectful husk of a mother acting like an asshat, although it would have been better if she could’ve talked to her friends outdoors instead. She sighs, knowing that not much can be done about that. When she walks out of school, she sees that the sun is setting… also great, she sarcastically thinks. Atleast the school gave her bat back to her, so she isn’t Completely defenseless in her street.
As she walks back home, she can sense a sound behind her, that sound being the faint sound of a slowly approaching van. She ponders on what she should do, before deciding to just casually walk and listen. The sound comes slowly closer, and it’s clear what the drivers intent was.
That was to kidnap her and do god knows what.
Although shaking a little over possibly experiencing the same situation several others her age did this past month, she steadily breathes in and out, and pulls out her bat. She makes a silent vow that if those people were as dumb as they were psychotic dickheads, she will smash their genitals into red mush and make them Sorry.
The van finally arrives to her right, and she looks on at the driver, glaring at his hooded face.

Basil wakes up to a loud shriek… no, shrieks from outdoors, and, in panic, puts on his slippers to see what’s going on. He calls 911 briefly, hoping that whatever is happening can be prevented or at the very least alleviated. He realizes that that sound is coming from Aubrey’s house, and he very carefully yet quickly approaches the place, hoping that the worst isn’t happening to her childhood friend. He knows that ever since last month, she’s been quite cold to him since the truth was out, but even then, that’s his friend, and he doesn’t want anything bad to happen to her. He arrives to the front of the house, as he watches in horror… and signs with relief, seeing that it appears Aubrey has the situation under control.
”YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD TURN ME INTO YOUR PERSONAL PIMP, HUH YOU FUCKING PIG!!?” Aubrey screams, as she slams her bat down one of her attempted kidnappers crotch area. Blood gushes out and his screams echo throughout the streets. Basil could see she has a few small bruises on her arms, but otherwise, she’s okay.
”OH GOD… PL-PLEASE STOP! GGGYAAAAAAGGGGGgggghhh……” The man passes out through bloodloss and agony, as Aubrey stares at her other attempted kidnapper, that being the driver.
”WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE!?” Aubrey yells out in max volume, as the man shakes in terror, unable to escape due to his maimed leg.
”L-listen… we’re ju-just doing our jobs, ‘Kay girlie!” The driver covers his face. “J-just please don’t kill us!”
“Job for who?” Aubrey coldly asks, as many of the residents come out of the streets to see the commotion.
”L-listen, there’s this one n-nurse who’s really interested in ya. L-like umm I dunno why, but she really likes to kidnap young folk for her “experiments,” you get what i-I’m sayin!?” Aubrey can hear the man sobbing horribly. “P-please… I wasn’t meanin to harmin or raping ya… j-just bring you to her.”
Aubrey scoffs bitterly, as she raises her now bloodied bat high in the air.
”Tell me, why shouldn’t I bash your fucking brains out, rid the world of a sick fuckhead like you?” Basil decides to intervene, due to the worry of Aubrey getting guilt and a criminal record from killing this man, no matter how awful he is.
”A-Aubrey p-please… the police are gonna arrive… and I don’t w-want you to go to prison.” Aubrey looks back at Basil, silently glaring, but her gaze quickly softens. She nods and looks down at the man, and sees blood as well as piss surrounding him. He looks at her in pure fear, as he decides to explain.
”L-listen… o-our base is in n-nearby city, in ummm… an abandoned asylum from the north side of the city! W-will that convince you to not kill me?!”
”………Cowardly little shit… whatever, the law can deal with you I guess.” Aubrey states, dropping her bat and hugging Basil. “H-hey… Basil.”
“W-will you be okay A-Aubrey?” Aubrey chuckles at his question.
”Gee, I wonder if almost being kidnapped with the knowledge some sick nurse wants to do horrid experiments on me will make me feel okay?” Aubrey sarcastically states, but then smiles. “I think so… I’m sure I can tell the police about this… and well, I’m sure they’ll have me somewhere safe to make sure that don’t happen.”
”Speaking of…” Basil points behind Aubrey, and she turns around, seeing several police cars and paramedics arrive. There’s gonna be a lot of explaining to do, Aubrey realizes.

Kel wakes up and, remembering to brush his teeth and shower, goes downstairs to see that the news was on.
”News has just been in that there was an attempted kidnapping of a young girl named Aubrey Williams in Faraway town, who had just about managed to escape such a terrible incident through self defense.” Kel looks at the tv in worry.
”W-wait, Aub’s!?” He immedietally goes to the phone booth to dial Aubrey’s numbers. He waits in frantic suspense as he sees the rest of the news broadcast.
”Her attempted kidnappers were two men, Robert Adams and Johnson Smith, though it has been reported that they are working for an organization that lives in Nearby city. As of now, the two men are in the hospital getting treated for their injuries inflicted by their would be victim. We will now look on to another witnesses perspective, who was there when the incident happened.
It cuts to a blonde boy whose face is obscured, but his speech makes Kel deduce it was Basil. Should he visit him today right now, or call Aub’s?
”When I-I heard all th-the screaming, I-I immediately c-called 911 and went o-outside to see what was g-going on, fearful of w-what was happening to my f-friend. Little did I know… that she was already okay, having saved herself from those t-terrible people!” Kel listens in to Basil’s talking, seeing that he looks okay, if a little stress out, but it’s Basil, and who wouldn’t be stressed!? “I-I’m hoping to t-talk to my friend, b-but apparently she’s at the other side of town I-in the police station… for safety reasons, r-right?”
”Indeed, she was only acting in self defense kid.” States a cameraman. “You okay with speaking some more?” Kel sees Basil shaking his head, and the cameraman obliges. It switches back to the news room, and he sees that the phone did not pick up yet. Drat, he’s hoping that Aubrey wasn’t too shaken from that incident. He sighs with relief, as he goes to the kitchen to make some breakfast, knowing that Aubrey is a-okay and safe, and that whoever those people were will get punished for there crimes!
“Hey kid, do be sure that you don’t go outside today, I don’t wish for that to happen to you.” His dad tells him.
”Trust me pops, I wasn’t planning to do so after hearing that.” Kel states, as he takes out some flour, eggs, and milk to make waffles.
