He was taken back to mac's luxurious safehouse
Mac is waiting for him with a bottle of scotch
Mate
I thought you were a goner
Me too
He says limping through the door
He refused to lean on anyone
Although they offered
They walk into the kitchen
Here
Mac pours him a drink
Thanks
He looks at Mac
Really
I mean it
I don't know what --
Mac puts his hand up motioning for him to stop
You and I may have our disagreements
But I would never let you fall into the hands of some dirty Russian twats
I'm just sorry it took so long to find you
H-how long was I held captive
About three and a half days
Mac puts his glass out waiting for him to hold out his
The glasses clink 🥂
Cheers mate
Cheers Mac
Mac smiles
After we have a few feel free to make yourself at home
My offer still stands and you can use this place as long as you need
No more girls
If you don't want
I won't ever try to force you into something again
He downs his drink
I'll do it
Mac's face lights up
Splendid
He pours him another drink
Here's to my new partner in crime
He had a sinking feeling
But although Mac has his faults
He literally owed him his life
Mac walks around the kitchen island and leans in
Whispering
We'll get to work tomorrow on fixing your current situation
You're going to love this
Then Mac excuses himself to the bathroom
He looks around
Everything still feels surreal
This is the most insane week of his life
So far
He just prayed that he could get his life back to something normal
He wasn't even sure if he cared if it went back to how it was before he met her
His gut wrenched
He couldn't believe he actually just had that thought
He missed her so much
All he wanted was to go back to the last night with her
He wished he could have turned off her phone
Why didn't it die
None of this would be happening right now
Mac comes out of the bathroom
I know you don't want to hear this mate
But if it wasn't for that bird
None of this would be happening right now
She's nothing but troubl-
His voice seemed to distort and trail off
Like he was getting further away as he was walking towards him
He thinks
Did he read my mind
Get out of my head!
That's not true
That's not true
This is the fault of whoever called her
...
God
Are the drugs still in my system
Am I hallucinating this
Please god no
He feels dizzy
Maybe the alcohol reactivated the drugs somehow
He was about to have a panic attack
He drops his glass and it shatters on the tile
He thought he excused himself but he only let out a loud grunt and ran for the bathroom
He looks in the mirror and his face starts to sag
His hands seem to melt into the sink
He pulls his hands back and the sink is like a melted marshmallow sticking to him
He screams inside of his head
He looks back to the mirror
His face is still sagging and parts of it start falling off
His eyes are so wide they're ready to pop out of his skull
All he feels is utter panic and waves of extreme gravity followed by weightlessness
He runs to the bedroom
It feels like it takes hours to cross the room
In reality it took him about 20 minutes because his mind had told him he was running but his body was barely moving
He reaches the bed and sinks into it
Imagining it turning into a fluffy black hole sucking him in then bursting with feathers that sprout birds
Then he hears a loud echoing boom and reality comes crashing back and he can see the room again
Mac pokes his head in
But all he sees is the devil
Petrified he doesn't move
Mac leaves and walks back to the kitchen where his head of security is
I guess he's sleeping and the drugs worked too well
I'll have to make sure he's checked on regularly
Here
He hands his HOS a Fitness watch
Slip this on his wrist so we can monitor his heart rate
The HOS nods
Yes sir
He thinks that it's been over an hour when it's only been a few short moments
He starts to get up
He's moving at the speed of molasses
And he's shaking
The HOS comes in and sees him trying to sit up
He puts the watch on him and says
Here
Your watch back
Th-th-thanks
No problem
The HOS leaves
He curls into the fetal position trying to keep his mind from unraveling
He just wanted to cry
Cry harder than he ever has and never stop
Mac tells his HOS that they will wait until he's at his most vulnerable state and torture him
He says
He will be tripping so hard we can convince him he's having elaborate nightmares of his ordeal
The HOS thinks it's because of the disrespect
No Mac is just a sick fuck
