Debbie quickly made her way over to the blonde who seemed to be kneeling down next to an old alleyway. "What did you find?"
"Take a look for yourself." Beth motioned towards a pair of fresh-looking tire tracks. Not only that there were also multiple pairs of boot prints and drag marks.
The older woman followed the tracks from the alley and saw a clear view of the overturned van. Panic began to set in as she realized one of the worst possible scenarios may have occurred while she was away.
"Steve..." She whispered. Her husband and his life's work have been kidnapped.
"Debbie..." Beth spoke warily. "What are we going to do?"
It was clear that the blonde had come to the same conclusion as herself and as the older woman tried to think of what their next move should be her eyes fell back towards the van, or to be more specific... "The dash cam."
"What?" Beth asked confused.
Debbie ran back towards the van and crawled her way inside. She ripped the dash camera from the car and handed showed it to her younger companion.
"Can you access this?"
Beth nodded. "All science department members can access the cameras with their phones."
She opened her phone and began to get to work.
Steve let out a small groan as he felt the ground beneath him shift. "What happened?"
He turned his head to see a much larger woman with red shades staring back at him. He practically jumped out of his skin as he knew for a fact this blonde wasn't his lab assistant.
"The doctor is awake. I repeat, the doctor is awake." The woman alerted whoever was in earshot.
Three other men appeared all dressed in black tactical gear equipped with guns and knives. At first Steve thought they might be black ops agents, but he was pretty sure the government wouldn't be able to get people this far out so soon.
"Excellent work McQueen." A man with a flattop praised.
"Who are you people? Where am I?" Steve dared to ask.
A burly man with large beard spoke next. "Since you're so curious, I'll answer your questions. The name's Tank, the flattop is Trucks, the baldy is Sam, and the lady with the shades is McQueen. We're a mercenary company hired to retrieve you and the prototype."
Steve was floored. He'd been kidnaped by mercenaries. "Wha-"
He looked around to find that he was in a very large truck, and the shrink ray prototype was in tucked away in a corner.
"Call the boss." Tank told McQueen. "He said to inform him when the doctor woke up."
"Yes sir." The blonde saluted before doing as instructed.
The phone rang once, twice...
"Sir. He's awake." McQueen responded. She then put the phone on speaker. "You're on."
"Hello, Steve." An all too familiar voice sounded.
The doctor felt his blood run cold. "Goldstein."
