章 16: The Hero Killed The Clown Part 4
“Who are you?” The kidnapper asked.
“Psah, I’m but one of many!” Takoda said. “Why don’t I introduce you to my friends?”
Calian bus through the other window, having broken all the locks and broke through any blocks. He then began to go after the kidnapper. The kidnapper did not put up much of a fight. He tried to pull out a pocketknife, but Wiyot was able to spot him in the act and kicked it out of his hand.
The kidnapper retreated into a back room, shutting the door before Wiyot, Calian and Takoda were able to get ahold him. All they could hear was the curly hair freak fumbling around in there.
“How did you guys find me?” Wiyot asked.
“When is the last time you cleaned yourself?” Calian said.
“Your scent wasn’t hard to pick up on”.
“Where’s Halian?”
The kidnapper came through the door but this time with a knife in hand. This knife was more than a pocketknife. It’s handle was brown and looked to be more like a small machete if anything. Wiyot, Calian, and Takoda all take steps back as the kidnapper moves closer to the three of them.
“Now wait a second”. Calian said.
“Fuck that!” The kidnapper shouted. “Do you know how long I have been waiting for?!? It is my turn!”
The kidnapper swung the knife towards Wiyot, Calian and Takoda. The three of them were able to avoid getting cut as the kidnapper continued to go after them. He was able to corner them and then stopped in place. He held the knife straight and firmed and stared right at Wiyot, Calian and Takoda. A smile crept upon his face.
“Look!” Wiyot cried out. “This isn’t the only way this has to go down!”
“Bullshit!” The kidnapper snapped back. “This is as far as I can go! I made it my life’s purpose to get to this point! The only things standing in my way are the three of you!”
“But why does this have to be your purpose?!”
“You don’t get it do you?!? This is who I am!”
The kidnapper swung the knife once again, cutting it close. Wiyot, Calian and Takoda managed to squeeze out and the corner and became scattered across the room. The vigor with his swings increased each time he attempted to lay into them. Each time he moved his arm there was more commitment to each strike with the knife. The kidnapper continued the rampage, his knife going wild with no end in sight.
“You fucking hack!” Calian yelled, jumping on the kidnapper’s back, putting him in a chokehold. He began to wave his staph in a wild out of control way as he tried to get out of Calian’s grip.
“Relax man!” Takoda said.
“Nah, too late for that shit!” Calian shouted back. “Why are you afraid of this guy? He is just someone who wants to be perceived as a person with power when the fact of the matter is he is a weak fuck. It’s all a mirage!”
“I am not a mirage!” The kidnapper yelled as he and Calian fell to the ground which caused the knife to drop. Calian lost his grip on the kidnapper as he went for the knife before anyone could grab it. Halian in his owl form swooped in to grab it with his talons right before the kidnapper was able to reach it.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!?!” The kidnaper yelled.
“Halian?” Wiyot asked.
“Hey! Wow, I was so nervous, but it worked!”
“Give it back!” The kidnapper shouted. “Give it back to me!” The kidnapper then ran to get a baseball that was to the side and ran up towards Halian. Calian grabbed the kidnapper as he drew in closer to Halian.
“Allow me to help you out”. Calian said as he turned the kidnapper around to make sure that he faced him, and then clocking in the face. With one hit it was lights out for the kidnapper, who went straight to the ground, knocked out cold.
“Well”. Takoda said. “Maybe you should have done that earlier ya think?”
“Please”. Calian started. “Shut the fuck up”.
“So, what do we do with the knife?” Halian asked, back in his human form.
“I guess we could take it with us”. Calian said.
“Bad idea”. Wiyot said, back in his owl form.
“And why the hell is that?” Calian challenged.
“Because we don’t need whatever that is where we are going”.
“You are still hung up about this Nirvana huh?”
“What else is there?”
“And besides”. Takoda interjected. “It’s too heavy. Not too ideal for takeoffs”.
“Tch, whatever”. Calian said as he began to walk out. Before he was out the door Calian stopped and turn over to Wiyot’s left.
“For the record”. Calian began. “I did feel a vibration”.
Calian walked out as Halian followed. Yet, Wiyot was still. He looked down at the palms of his hands and studied the lines that went across them. He looked ahead and saw Calian and Halian still in their human form. He looked down at his feet and saw the shoes that he had manifested when he transformed.
“Back to the owl huh?” Takoda asked.
“It’s a matter of self-respect”. Wiyot said.
“Fasho. But what are you gonna do with all that self-respect if you die?”
Wiyot’s eyes went back to the palms of his hands. He took his left fingers and ran them through his right hand’s palms. He then stopped and stood still before he turned back up to Takoda.
“I guess I can see how this goes”. Wiyot said.
