Chapter 29 - Act II. Hitting the road

In the room of ruins, buried deep down in the ground from the explosion, Jean and Dorothy stare at the horde of angry citizens on the verge of losing their crap from the chase they are having after those three escapers.

"Jean?!" Dorothy shouts with confusion, quickly dressing up. "What is that?! What is going one dear?!"

The gentleman looks down, still facing the street, giving a long sigh, tired, just when he was about to have robotic sex Jean got blue balled. "Well... if you're wondering da~arling... Jack and his comrades have escaped."

"E-escaped?! How?!" Widening her mouth and raising her eyebrows with even more shock than before.

The air in the room ruins gets thinner for Jean, he knows he needs to lie to his lover, gulping slightly before turning around and face her.

Suddenly as he turns, Torment grabs his shoulder with a big devilish smile, like he always has, whispering to him even though Dorothy can't hear, see or sense that pale devil.

"Don't worry.. just tell her that you don't know how they escaped... come on, say it to your beloved da~arling." Showing a bit of mockery, dragging the 'a' just like Jean does, giggling with his eye widened.

"I honestly don't know darling." Following Tor's advice. "All I remember is me and my brother having a fight and going to our rooms with me going into here right after." Saying so, his words make the tall gentleman stretch his smile even more, hearing how stretched it is, almost rubber like.

"Well then we must do something!" Replying with excitement in her metal lungs.

"You will stay here Dorothy. I need to make it more personal and find them on my own."

"On your own?... why aren't you allowing me to help?!"

"It's... it's family business darling, I know what to do. Got it?"

"Family business?! What does Jack and his friends have to do with family??"

Sighing again, he replies to her quickly with a bit of excitement as well, causing Torment to raise one of his eyebrows while watching the two speak.

"I'll explain to you later. Now I must find a way to get to those brats. I promise you darling this is all going to end well. For the both of us."

"Ugh..." being disgusted by his behaviour, like he has done it plenty times before. "It's always you doing this and doing that dear. You probably don't even care about me."

"Darling... we were meant to be together as Mother herself said so-."

Jean immediately gets cut by his girl's shouts. "So you care about me not because of who I am but because Mother told you so?!"

Before he could answer her, Jean's brother, Joshua ran to their room with anger in his face, causing Torment to hide quickly to not be seen by him and an awkward mood since Jean was still undressed.

"What are you two- WHY ARE YOU TWO HAVING INTERCOURSE WITH A PANDEMIC GOING ON?!" the angered brother shouts. "THOSE THREE KNUCKLEHEADS HAVE DAMMED ESCAPED AND YOU TWO ARE JUST HERE DOING WHATEVER!" Continued by a long sigh, Jean and Dorothy give him a questioning look, tilting their heads a bit to the side. "Ugh... just get damned dressed and follow me Jean, no excuses, I need you right now."

"No! Me and Jean aren't finished yet!" Dorothy yells with a bit of steam coming out of her mouth.

"Clearly you won't be damn finished until dawn." He replies mockingly. "now Jean I need you now!"

A minute has passed. Joshua is leaning on the balcony of the window in his room, staring with disappointment at the crumbles of the city he's in charge of, smoking a white and purple coloured cigarette.

"What do you want brother? Can't you see I was busy doing something?" Jean enters with the loud voice.

"You we're doing something?! No shit!" After replying he continues giving them a bit of mockery while talking about the city's state. "You and your damned girlfriend having fun while the entire town is at a furious rate after three henchmen that WE were supposed to keep track over!" Giving a big focus on the 'we'. "Now what the town will think of us?! We can't have a rebellion or a civil war now, civilians might die and I'm not participating in it!"

Jean, looking at his stressed brother, both begin to smoke a cigarette at the edge of the balcony next to each, Jean leaning and facing the mansion and Joshua leaning and facing the town. Both give a big sigh, not knowing what to do.

"I'll go find them." Jean says confidently.

"Find them? How do you damn think you would find those three?" Joshua replies with a doubting tone. "All over this town with almost all civilians trying to track them?"

Hearing that, Jean turns around to face the city as well, replying to his angered brother with even more confidence in his voice, showing himself calm with a smirk.

"Before we two have went to sleep I took an element from Jack." Suddenly out of nowhere he pulls out the escaper's arm, showing that the two fought. "Now now, I did that mostly because I was mad at the situation of the town. I bet with this it'll get easier to sense him."

"You cut off his arm?!" Joshua says in a surprised and shocked tone. "And you think you could just walk down at town without anyone noticing you?"

"Exactly. I'll go alone but disguised. Me you and Jack might be male but we look pretty feminine no? Why not that I would disguise myself as a woman and track them while you stay here and control everything?"

Joshua becomes even more surprised hearing what he just said, leaving the entire city to the hands of him while leaving for a while. He gulps his spit a bit before replying with a lot less doubt.

"If you are so sure then do it. But if something happens to you I'll burn this town to the ground got it?"

"Yes."

The hour is 08:30. Jean got dressed with a white dress and black mask, making his long purple hair into a ponytail.

"Are you sure you'll be alright?" Dorothy asks, knowing as well what he's going to do.

��I am. Now you stay here with Joshua, I must do it myself so none of you will get hurt."

Dorothy stands there, already missing her boyfriend as he leaves the front of the mansion, the door closes behind him. He's ready to go on his quest and find the three.

Torment appears behind him again, asking him a quick question. "Wow did they really believe that you are just going to get them back?"

He nods. "Yes, it's all part of your plan no?"

"Exactly..." giggling with that same devilish voice looking at Jean as he goes out and begins to search for Jack, Sam and Zick.
