A bump startled Darwin awake. And somehow, he landed on his stomach with his feet hitting Zoe in the stomach. Both kids groaned in pain as another bump followed by another made them hit each other. Darwin moved closer to Zoe but failed too when the car came to a complete stop, forcing Darwin to roll to the wall of the trunk.

The trunk opened up, revealing their kidnappers. "Grab the kids and get inside. The fish may be worth money." Darwin held onto Zoe's hand as they began to split the two of them apart. He had no choice but to let go and watch the men take off with her inside a building. He squirmed, trying to break free from the man's grip, but no use came to him. So he bit him. "Son of a-" He turned, looking at Darwin as he ran to find Zoe.

Elsewhere, Zoe struggled to break free from the tight grip the man had on her. She kicked and screamed as the man grip tightened even more. She closed her eyes at the pain before opening them again to find Darwin running down the hall. The man turned to hear his footsteps approaching, including his partner, who ran behind Darwin at a fast pace.

Darwin felt a grip around his body. "I'll take the fish inside and teach him a lesson." The guy in the stripped shirt said as this time he kept Darwin right where he wanted him. "You take the girl and lock her in one of the rooms." Zoe's heart melted at the sight of Darwin being smacked across the face before the door shut in front of her. Her eyes could see the walls rotting away as the wallpaper started to drop down slowly to the ground but stopped at some point. The doors had claw marks as a few blood on some of the doors that made Zoe terrified. She didn't know what could possibly happen, especially Darwin, who had been knocked out and dragged off to the other side of the building. She had no plan. Unless she could just watch their ever move.

Darwin woke slowly. His vision was a bit off as he tried to regain consciousness. He checked his surroundings to find his body in a chair, arm's resting on the chair's arms as iron cuffs held him down; as well as his feet. His vision started to go again as he breathed heavily and moved even more. A voice stopped him as a light flickered on his face. He couldn't make out who was in front of him as the light shined in his eyes.

"Hello, Darwin Watterson." A familiar voice spoke over the speakers. "It's been a while since we last spoke. And I know what you're thinking! What am I doing here, and why am I trapped in this...this chair?" Darwin moved his head around to see who was speaking. The voice sounded so familiar that he couldn't even put the name to the kid who was speaking.

"Who...do I know you?" Darwin hesitated for a moment. "Your voice sounds so familiar." He could hear the boy sigh with disappointment from behind the speaker.

"Oh, Darwin Watterson. I'm an old friend of yours: especially Gumballs. You ruined my relationship with a special girl I had." Darwin's eyes widened.

"N-no! It can't be. B-but yo-you're in jail. How did you escape, Tobias?" Confusion, fear, and anger took over Darwin. He didn't know what to feel, what to believe.

"Oh, I guarantee you that it is me. I've been through a lot in the past few months." Darwin rolled his eyes, knowing he too has been through hell. "Jail really has changed me, made me into this... thisabomination. A man filled with anger, jealousy, and hatred towards you and your brother. I trained, fought, and even killed to escape that jail only to be known on TV and the whole world as an escape artist. Well, as the youngest escape artist. I ran, trying to find a way back home, back to your brother." The door knob turned and clicked open as Tobias made his way down the stairs towards Darwin.

"Oh, Darwin. How much I wanted to lay my hands on both of you. I want to savor that moment. That day, I get my hands on you two forever. But, when I heard that, you ran away from home. I knew I had a new opportunity and had to take it quickly. So, I gathered a team that had also escaped the same jail only to set out to find you." He stopped, looking at Darwin, who squinted his eyes to get a better look. The light faded away as Tobias leaned in, blocking the light.

"Oh my gosh! " Darwin said in surprise. He couldn't believe what he was seeing in front of him. He truly is an abomination, a boy who had changed in such a dramatic way. His face left small little marks, including a scar on his right eye. His hand that squeezed Darwin's arm is replaced with a machanicle robot arm with flesh slowly growing from above. Tobias smiled at Darwin's facial expression.

"Oh yes! I went through so much just to find you. I even killed a man just after escaping so he didn't open his mouth to anyone. I had to keep myself hidden. But I guess some things come to a price." He leaned off of Darwin. "But, my revenge towards your brother will be WONDERFUL! and oh boy, will he love the monster you have become!" Tobias watched as Darwin squirmed in the chair.

He stopped, looking up at the boy who had called himself a man, an old friend, and now an enemy. "And what are you gonna do with me?" Darwin tried to show no fear in his tone but failed.

"That is something you will find out." Tobias snapped his finger. "Do it, boy!" He said, stepping back and away from the scene. "Oh, and Darwin. If you don't listen to every word I say. I'll have to put that girl through the same treatment as you. And I don't like hurting girls." The door open from in front of him as Tobias left.

"Now there. Let me just." The man in a leather jacket said, placing a needle in his arm. "Just go to sleep, and you'll feel better in the morning." Darwin only heard mumbles of men talking.

Small whimpers echoed through a lonely cell. A few people listened to her cries while others called out for help or screamed. Her fear for Darwin and her safety were coming true. She lifted her head to hear two footsteps walking down the hallway as the cells around her fell silent. Her cell door flew open as Darwin was thrown across the floor towards her. She crawled to him, grabbing his body as she held on to him for deer life. She gently rubbed his face as tears rushed down her cheeks and on his forehead. Checking for a pulse on his arm made her wonder why a bandaid was on him. She took a small peek to find where the needle was on him. Fear was in her eyes as she knew who was next.

"Grab the girl." One of them said. The door slowly opened as Zoe slowly backed up in a dark corner. Her eyes locked on the man's arm as he reached out to grab her. Heavy breathing was heard, but nothing touched her. All she could hear was the man screaming and another voice. She did not dear to peak knowing she was already a goner.

"SHUT THE DOOR, SHUT IT!" Someone yelled, "Don't let him out." Darwin stood in front of her with his bloody hand down for her to grab. She took a peak only to see his bloody hand.

"It's okay. I didn't kill him. Only injured him." He gave no smile, no sign of a phycopath. "I won't let them hurt you like they did to me."

"What did you do?" She asked him while backing away slowly.

"I did what everyone does, protects a family member, protect the ones I care about. I know I'm covered in blood and all, but I did in to save your life. But I don't know how I did that. I...I just...I wasn't me at that moment."

"Darwin, please, I can handle myself. I have no idea what in the world you did, and I don't wanna see how you did it. I mean, there is a puddle of blood in our cell, making it even more terrifying. Look at the walls and the floor!" She leaned her head down in front of her. "I wasn't expecting this to happen."

Darwin did not even move. He sat on the floor, looking at his hands. His mind raced with thoughts that he couldn't even say to her. "How about we go to sleep?" She spoke up. But Darwin wasn't tired.

"You can. I don't feel like sleeping." He spoke, leaning back against the wall. He decided to stay up, watch over her, and protect her. He had no plan to escape due to the tracker they put in him. But Zoe, she is able to escape without a tracker.
