Not a chilling day (11)

Author's note: I will add some shortcuts to know which person is talking without adding after almost each sentence who said what. And the "legend" for this chapter is: [LL] – Lab lady; [G] – George.

One day, after all that time spent in learning and training, George thinks of something new, to get a change of view, a refreshing time of peace on a small trip to a forest and feel the nature, a growing need because of his repeated schedule and adventures on that dream world and that wild vegetation. 'No more, I grew scared of too many plants' George said to himself. The more he was training, the more he was able to control his flames, good enough that he can light up a finger on fire at will and start a fire without needing a light or a match, because he became the flame he desired to control. Although not good enough because of the thought of burning everything down to a crisp was too much for him and the thought of losing himself to the fire. All he is waiting for is just the opportunity to just forget his worries and stress just for a little.

And an opportunity he would get, but not as he expected. He got a call from that lab lady one day as soon as he finished everything he wanted to achieve and as soon as he got home from a busy day.

Bzzzt! Bzzzt! The phone rang.

'Who might be?' says George as he locks the door. "It's on private. Maybe it's one of those scams I keep hearing lately. I'll just let it slide for now."

It didn't stop there. The phone kept ringing every now and then.

[G]: "So that's going to be, spammed by scammers. Great! (with a sigh what suggest a tiresome feeling) It is what it is, I might as well answer and get over it."You could clearly hear a feminine voice speaking: "Don't you dare ignore my call one more time!". George has a feeling he remembers this voice. 'Oh yea, that crazy lab lady'. And after a small break after discovering who was the caller, and breathing in, he hung up the call.

Thirty minutes later, someone knocks. George what was relaxing on the sofa really doesn't want to check who is looking for him.

[G]: "I am busy, come later!"

[LL]: "I know you are not, now come and open this fucking door or I swear I will break it!"

[G]: "Yea! Yea!" (Hi hi)

[LL]: "I'm not joking!"

[G]: "Are you alone?"

[LL]: "Yes!"

[G]: "Then have a nice evening!"

A moment of silence was sitting between them.

[G]: "Fine… but tell me the reason you are here at this hour at my home!"

[LL]: "You are not answering your phone! For fuck sake, you are such an idiot! Instead of being summoned, I called you and you are disrespectful, and you don't even answer!"

[G]: "Maybe don't call on private, I don't usually answer calls from private. You know there are a lot of scammers lately what steal your personal data. Don't you?

[LL]: "But you did answer- "As she tried to continue, George said with a heavy/uninterested voice:

[G]: "Because you were not stopping in calling me!"

[LL]: "Tomorrow we are going on a trip in a forest. Details and the reason why, are confidential."

[G]: "And the thing with confidential will do you wonders in the long term for you." says George with a focus on sarcasm.

[LL]: "And I'll come with a few men to be sure you will not be disrespecting me again."

[G]: "So… this is not a trip, and who said I will come?"

[LL]: "You will come either if you want it, or do you prefer being forcefully dragged."

George was speechless.

[LL]: "I didn't think so!"

[G]: "What's the deal anyway? Where do you want me to go?"

[LL]; "We will go to a secure location to the mountains!"

[G]: "Great!"

[LL]: "Tomorrow at 7 in the morning get ready or we will bust you out. I hope I make myself clear!"

[G]: "Got it!" and with that George closed the door and let that little devil beside just for a moment to jump/throw himself on the couch. "Adiós!" (English: "Bye" = Spanish: "Adiós")

As soon as he could hear her leaving, George had to prepare some clothes and he got a meal he prepared the day before.

The next day, surprising George, at first, he wasn't jumped on by the men that lady mentioned like the first time he was by the police with those handcuffs.

Two black cars came at 7 am, one in which there were unknown muscular guys, and in the second one there were a driver and that lab lady. As they came out to pick-up George, they got some handcuffs.

[G]: "Not again…"

[LL]: "Don't even think to complain! It's for our safety and yours."

[G]: "Let's just get it started already. I've got flashback from the last time."

[LL]: "This time I promise we are going to be gentle. Ok ladybug?"

[G]: "And you are mocking me. Great start!" Said with a lower tone.

[LL]: "Of course I am. How else I'm I going to enjoy this boring trip?"

As she said that, a moment of tension arises.

Not to make dialogue, George keeps the silence and doesn't say anything. All they could hear is the sound of the engine and the radio from the background, the same radio what has bad songs.

As they keep on driving, a though came into her mind.

[LL]: "I was just thinking, in order not to make things weird on this trip and make it more casual, even if they are not, we did not have the change to officially know each other. I know that you are George, and we did not get into the best moments, but I'm …
