《THRAK》Larks' Tongues In Aspic [End]

Advertisement

In the middle of somewhere; England.

Splash!

Water is splashed into Palmer's face, following by a bucket.

Bonk!

Palmer startled, waking up from a long nap.

He looks around, found himself in the middle of nowhere, got tied up in a chair.

In front of him is a man standing, Syd Barrett behind him are Jody Johanson and Seraphina Gilmour.

They are keeping their distancing with them, He wonders why?

"...."

Knowing that he couldn't escape from this unknown group of people, Palmer does nothing but to keep his mouth shut.

" That time, you escaped. You slowly sneaked out the car by using your jelly's body pass through the car window which was slightly opened. That's a great way to escape..."

"Mr. Palmer Lake...You're very smart to figure us out. But it was too late. You know why we took you here?"

"..."

Palmer didn't answer.

" Oh?... Are you planning to escape with your jelly ability again? Or maybe not... However... I need to prevent you from getting away first."

As he said, Sera took out her lighter.

She then lights up a piece of paper and throws it on the floor.

As the ignite-paper hit the floor, A fire is summoned around the ground, surrounding both Syd and Palmer in the middle.

" In case you're wondering. Mr.Lake, Do You know that a Gelatin melts at the same temperature of a body, 37-40°C? Compare to those fire around us, they're at least... hundreds."

" Which means if you tried to struggle, not gonna answer anything and I mean literally anything I ask. Lots of luck Mr.Palmer, you'll get dissolved in a minute."

" !!!! "

Palmer's eyes widened in shock. But he couldn't speak for now because of the tape on his mouth.

" That's the reaction I expected. If you spit on me when I take off the tape, I'll fucking throw you in a fire. Understand??? "

Palmer nods.

Syd took of tape on Palmer's mouth. He then pulls in another chair and sits in front of Palmer's face.

" Huh.....*gasp*...*gasp*..." He glared up.

Syd shows the Thrak symbol to Palmer's face. Making his eyes widened.

" You know what this means? Mr.Palmer"

Palmer was frightened.

"...Y...you...T-T-Thrak already knows?!..."

" Now, Mr.Palmer...If you give us useful information. You won't end up like Father Peter and Collin, the principal, You know what I'm saying?"

" COLLIN?!... FATHER PETER?!... DON'T TELL ME THAT...."

Syd didn't reply but grins. Making Palmer's body shake even more.

" The Church, The school, you may see that everything is still on a go... But Mr.Lake... In 2 months... Or 3 weeks at the fastest... Prepare to read the article about how fucked up we made those places shut down permanently... And the next ... Place...is...yours..."

Syd taps his finger on Palmer's cheek.

" UNLESS you confess to me about The disc. Collin. The map. And...That Pill you claimed it was antacid... Do you think you can hide it from me? Sure that Antacid may have many different colors. But that Pill... It gives you the ability, isn't it? "

"...."

" Where did you take it from."

"...."

"...."

"...."

" I'm just a client...I swear!!! I buy...it...From a middle man....she's a woman name Bett Moretz I don't even know if it's her real name...b..but She tells me...this pill can make... a powerless man ...obtain a random ability..."

"..."

"...So you're telling me... That there is a Drug-a-like business of selling abilities going on?..."

"...Yes...yes... But it's still a small group... I was one of the first few people who they sold their products to."

"...."

"... Where is she? "

" I-I-I don't know... I don't have any idea... B..but I can give you her contact..."

"Bring it."

" ....it...it was the last time I met her...but I'm not sure if she still there or--"

"...I said... Bring it..."

Syd said in a cold voice.

"3-5 Rathbone Pl, Fitzrovia,... The Roxy club... She's not hard to find... Just tell the guard you want to meet her..."

"... Bring out all the pills you got "

" I don't have! She only sells one per person! ... She said....*gasp*...The pill will take a side effect on one's body... If a person isn't suitable enough... The pill will make them cough out blood...and destroy their inner organs... That's all I know I SWEAR!!! "

" Then why the Fuck you buy it if the side effect is this dangerous?"

" ... I thought that...one day... I will be in situation like this ... So..."

(...Fucking stupid... If you don't involve in all of this, then it won't even lead you to this point...)

Syd thought.

Palmer noticed that his legs start to meltdown.

" Now, The map and Collin. I've seen all your chatting history. Looks like you guys are in the middle of decision, aren't you? About joining a group who they think they can come against Thrak."

" .... "

Syd noticed Palmer's body intensely shakes.

*Breaths heavily*

"...."

"... Where did you know....about that?"

Asked Syd.

"....From...From Bett herself..."

" Bett Moretz?"

"...yeah...*shake*... She ... She asked me to join the group... ... That map... she also gave it to us... It's the path to join their conference! "

"....."

" Conference of how they will rebel Thrak?"

".... Yes...."

Palmer continues,

"... She said ... If we join them... Once they succeed giving back the world's real freedom or anything shit like that I don't give a fuck..... They'll give us power...and authority.....So... I talked to Collin about this too... I don't know about Collin... But I haven't joined them yet..."

"...."

"...."

"... And the disc. What is it."

"...."

"...."

" I don't know!... I was hired by Bett Moretz to keep it! "

" Bett Moretz again????? Why did this bitch involve in everything you said? You're wasting my time, I better burn you into ash... YOU WANT THAT??!!"

" Please! Believe me!!! I'm telling you the truth!!"

Palmer shouted.

" So... That bitch, Bett Moretz, Not only she sells you the Pill, She also hires you to keep the disc? "

"... Yes!... She didn't say anything... All She told me was to keep this from the outworld..."

" Why didn't she take care of it herself? Or hire a security company?"

Asked Syd.

" I asked her that too...she didn't tell me anything! ..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUAAAAAAGAGGGGG"

Palmer screams in pain because Syd tortured him by sticking a metal bar, which he put one of its' ends into the fire to make it turn red by the heat, on Palmer's skin.

" SHE DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING!!! I SWEAR!!! "

"....Then what do you have to do with Father Peter?..."

"....*gasp*...*gasp*... I ...I saw her treat this Disc thing...so well... So well that it was suspicious to me... So...I ...I thought... Keeping it for myself would draw me danger. I want to decline...but she offered me a lot of money...I thought it was a jewel of something important that everyone wants to conquer it... So I hire Father Peter to keep it... Because Father Peter was good at doing this kind of thing...and Bett doesn't know of Father Peter..."

"...Oh... You're a smart motherfucker, Lake... It's a good choice to confess all these things to me...."

"....that means...w...w...we...we're cool ...?"

" Yeah, We're cool."

As Syd said, the fire around them burnt out.

Half of Palmer's lower body is melted by the heat.

" But They aren't."

" They...?... They who??..."

Syd pointed to Palmer's back.

As Palmer turned his face back, he saw a man and a woman appearing in a normal dress.

Sera and Jody also shocked at people behind Palmer.

Because they were the same couple of agents who come after Syd interrogates Collin Zellick.

" Hey! That's the same person we met in the school cafeteria at that time. Where did they come??"

Sera said.

" Who are they!!??.. H-Hey!!?? Where'd you take me???!!!! HEY!!!! HEY !!!! "

Palmer shouts in fear as the agents took him up from the chair.

Syd Barrett nods to both of them, they nod back.

As he finished, The agents and Palmer disappear as if they had teleported away from Syd.

Leaving Jody and Sera in confusion.

" What's happening?!... What is that?!... Syd!!"

"They took him back to do more interrogation. Like what they did to Collin."

He said.

" However, If what Palmer said was true... Then we have a real problem."

Syd said.

7:00 in the evening; Syd Barrett house.

" Syd, We got Palmer Lake and finished the interrogation. It seems like what he said to you is true. His words matched up with Collin."

Said the girl's voice in the call.

" So... What now? What did the above say? Looks like we have jumped into the spider web. The deeper we go through, the more characters involved. The Disc and Bett Moretz... Did you get anything?"

" Yes. That's what I'm going to tell you, brother. Bett Moretz was just a fake name. That person does not exist."

" So...it was her alias... Then I should go for her at the Roxy club."

" One thing that got changed...brother... Your mission is no longer a solo mission. The above had agreed that the pill, the Disc, and Bett Moretz...these three may lead us to the mystery of the group of people who had formed up against Thrak. This is too big for 1 agent to handle."

"... What did you mean No longer a solo mission? "

" The above had sent Electrik, Joker, and Me, to join your mission."

!!!

" w-wait...Real shit??..." Syd said in a shocked voice.

" The order has been confirmed and executed. Right now I'm on the plane with them. The estimated time is 6:00 a.m. in the morning, tomorrow."

" ..... "

Syd sigh.

" I have no problem working with the team...but... Joker is with us?... Roxxy, Are you okay about this...?"

" I have too. Couldn't help it. But his ability is very useful for the mission."

"... Couldn't agree more... We shouldn't draw personal business into the mission..."

" Don't worry about me, brother. I can take care of myself...how about... That woman, Jody Johanson?... Did she meet "Her" yet? , Bet she was because I'm sure, Except Me and Mom, "She" couldn't bear to see any woman around you..."

"...."

Syd didn't reply to his sister's question, he cut off the conversation by ...

" Out."

*Beep*

".....*sigh*...."

Syd walked back into his house.

In the living room, Jody and Sera were having dinner on the table.

" Syd, you want to work as my house's chef ? Your cooking skill is amazing."

Sera said.

Syd didn't reply.

" How was it? " Jody asked.

" Yeah, We've got a big change. The Disc thing is bigger than we thought. They've sent our teammates to join us."

" !?!?!? "

Jody and Sera eye's widened.

" Really?!... Who are they??..."

Jody asked.

" 2 boys, 1 younger girl. And she's my sister." Syd said.

Jody/Seraphina (together)

" Your Sister?!"

" Haven't you seen on google that I have 1 younger sister?" Syd asked.

" ....oh...right... If I remembered correctly.... Her name is.... Roxxy Barrett isn't she?"

Asked, Jody.

“ Yes, that's right. Following my 2 boys, you'll see them tomorrow. They expected that the flight will arrive here at 6 a.m. tomorrow...”

Syd said.

“ Wow... I'm excited! ... Are they like you?!... They must be strong right?!... What's their ability?!...”

Sera asked with excitement.

“ You better see for yourself tomorrow...if they come to you in a normal way I hope...”

Said Syd.
