"Why?" Angela asked.

"What's the rush, and danger? Why diod you flee?" She asked.

"You were caught, just own up to it."

"Just let me go!" he exclaimed.

"I'M A BOMB!" he told them.

"If I don't go see them by 7 o'clock, I'm dead, and everyone within a mile radius of me is dead!" he continued.

"I'm sorry! I didn't want to steal them!" he then cried out.

"But I had to! I didn't want to die! I didn't want anyone else to die!"

great big one on me.

Angela was most certainly taken aback by that response. Of all the things she thought that he might say, that was most certainly NOT one of them.

"Excuse me?" the guard asked.

"You're kidding, right?" Followed.

"... I don't think he is." Angela commented.

"Those tears are real." She didn't say anything before as she just turned her attention to her phone.

I need our visitor, Mackenzie. She sent to Jake. My office, please.

"Sadly, I'm not sure of anyone that can help... aside from one. Come." She said to James as the mana that was blocking the doors faded

Got it. Jake responded.

I'll let her know. he then sent her.

Meanwhile, James was sitting on the floor, still panicking, when he looked towards her when she told him to follow her.

"...what?" he asked.

"Come? Why?" he asked her.

"I'm dangerous!"

"Because I might know how to help." Angela answered honestly.

"It won't be pleasant, I'm sure, considering who I just called for, but I think she can help."

"Who are you thinking?" the guard asked. Angela just looked over with a sigh.

"The only person in this building to whome mortal trifles like this are probably nothing to." Was her answer.

"Now come on, James. Before you're in even more trouble, or dead."

James knew better than to argue here. He had been caught, and all the cards were on the table. And Angela was actually offering to help him in this situation. So he figured this was as good as it was going to get for him. And he figured it was more than he deserved.

So, he stood up, and slowly made his way over.

"...if you can't help, I need to be sent somewhere remote." he said quietly.

"Somewhere I can't do much damage." he went on.

"...somewhere I won't be missed..."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"I know." was all Angela said before leading him to her office, where they sat, and waited.

About ten minutes later, Mackenziemade her way in.

"Hey, you asked for me?" She asked. Angela nodded before motioning to James.

"I did. " Angela answered after a second or two.

"This one here has been cursed with a mana bomb." She started.

"And you're wondering if I, being a soul not of this world, could help with that, right?" Mackenzie asked, her voice a bit deadpan.

"Yeah sure." She then said a few seconds later before turning to James.

"How scared of pain are you?"

"..." James was silent for a moment.

"Quite." he said. "I don't like it." he told her.

"...that being said, I'm willing to endure it." he then said further.

"If... if this can be removed, then I'll do anything." he continued.

"And I mean that. I will endure ANYTHING."

Mackenzie was silent for a moment before James could see a rather ominous, and subtle, grin cross her features.

"Ohhhh, well, so long as you're willing to enture, as you put it, anything." she then said.

"Dr. Edwards, if I might have a moment alone with him?" she asked the medic.

"I would prefer to not accidentally affect you too." She added. Angela just paused a moment, nodding.

"Oh, yeah. Of course. I'll step out. Just don't trash the place, please, of course." Mackenzie nodded, before the medic left the two alone. Once she was gone, she turned to face James.

"Now, are there any limits to your comment of anything?" She asked, her voice curious, but also a little sadistic.

James was silent, before shaking his head.

"Whatever you do, I deserve." he told her.

"Dr. Edwards and everyone here have been the best to work with. They've treated me like family, and I've done this. No matter the circumstances, I deserve the worst." he reasoned.

"So I don't care." he stated.

"If it gets rid of this explosive mana inside me, do whatever it takes. WHATEVER."

Mackenzie didn't say anything before stepping up and leaning close. Her face was about two inches ahead of his. That close, he could see that she had contacts in, and it looked like they were moving.

And then she spoke.

She said something that he couldn't understand, could barely even recognize that something was said.

All he was aware of, was what it was doing to him.

His eyes widened, and his mouth gaped open.

He tried to say something, but no words came out. He scratched at his throat a little, and then desperately padded and pawed at his chest, almost as though he felt something... alive... in there.

Meanwhile, outside the room, Angela was leaning against the wall, waiting to hear anything that confirmed that they were done.

She didn't get that.

But she DID hear James scream out. And it was a scream that was definitively him... but it sounded nothing like a noise that a human could produce.

Angela jumped as she heard the ... well, noise. She had no idea what the hell it was that she'd heard, but she was reasonably certain that it James, and that it wasn't natural.

".... I don't think I want to know what the hell it is that she's doing to him." She muttered after a moment or two, with a shake of her head before pausing.

"Ah, right..." She muttered, sending a text to both Jake and Hal.

Caught him.

After a moment or two, she received messages from the both of them.

Where are you? I'll be there in seconds. Hal sent her.

Do you need assistance? Jake asked.

She then heard another scream from James, as Nate approached.

"...what in the name of Heaven and Hell is going on in there!?" he asked.

...and I'll forgive thy

"Mmmmm, James ran into some trouble, and Mackenzie is helping." Angela answered as she typed up replies.

Outside my office. she sent to Hal before responding to Jake.

I think I'm ok. Just thought you'd like the update if Izzy hadn't told you yet.

"....I see." Nate responded.

"...helping..." he mumbled, as Hal suddenly appeared across from them.

"What's going on?" he asked.

Nate took that opportunity to excuse himself and get back to work, as Angela received a message from Jake.

I've talked with Izzy, and we're taking the alert off now. he told her.

Good to know. Angela replied to Jake before sighing and looking to Hal.

"James is in there with the visitor, Mackenzie." She told him.

"I didn't know if you wanted me to ask you about this, so I went with one who I knew shouldbe able to remove the mana." She added after a moment.

"Point is, apparently we were on a timer until he went boom."

Hal was silent as he heard THAT.

"A timer? Boom?" he asked.

"...something tells me there's a LOT to unpack with that." he commented.

"And Mackenzie?" he then asked, as they heard another exclamation from inside.

"Aaaaand that explains a lot." he muttered.

"Seems he's experiencing a fate FAR worse than death..."

"The best I can say, is that it seems he stole some codeine from the shipment I just got in, and was dealing it to save his own skin. He claims that there was mana put within him, that would literally explode if he didn't check in by 7pm tonight." Angela explained.

"So, that mana needs to be removed.... which is why I called for Mackenzie. She's ... probably the only one who can do it at the moment, aside from asking you." She added, her tone implying about making a wish. However, she knew he didn't really want to have that known, so she wasn't going to say anything explicit about it.

Hal crossed his arms over his chest, and sighed.

"Hm. Fair." he mumbled.

"Well, if he was under duress while doing this, then that may help him in terms of repercussions for al this." he commented.

"May." he stressed.

"...though, to be honest, don't think there's anything any one of us could do to James that would be anywhere comparable to what's going on in THERE." he then said candidly, as they heard another yell.
