Brainwashed (O/O) Closed

She narrowed her eyes slightly, having to response to him grabbing her shoulders. "Freed from freedom."
August's phone rang.

He ignored it. There were more important things at the moment. "Freed from freedom? Do you know what they're planning and why?"

"They want to help us, Auggie!" she insisted.
The ringing stopped for a couple seconds, then it rang again. Whoever was calling was determined.

If they rung again he'd pick it up, he decided. "No they don't! You have no clue how sad I was when I lost you, do you?!"

"Yes, I do! I felt the same way! But they showed me that we can be free. Together!"
It rang again.

He sighed. "Hold that thought.", he told her as he picked up the call.

"August, where are you?" Dr. Vegran demanded worriedly.

"By my apartment… why?", he answered. He kept an eye on Kate.

"You can't just run off like that," she said firmly.

"Don't worry, I paid."

She pressed her lips together. "You need to bring Kate back to the hospital."

"Why?!" His eyes narrowed.

"We weren't finished," she answered shortly. "She's not cleared yet."

"What were you planning on doing?" Why wasn't she cleared?

"We need to make sure she's fully rehabilitated before she can be in public again. August, you have to bring her back here."

"Give me a reason why.", he growled.

She was shocked by his tone. "We need to finish testing her. You want to find out what happened to her, don't you?"

"Yes I do. Which is she's out.", he argued.

"We aren't finished!" she insisted.

"With what?" His tone was acid. Don't trust anyone…

"August, please. You're being ridiculous!" she cried.

August hung up. No use talking. "Let's go.", he told Kate urgently.

"Go where?" Her eyes were sharp.

"To my apartment! We can't let anyone get you!", he said quickly.

She studied him. "Who was on the phone?"

"I dunno.", he lied. He stayed by her side.

"Yes you do," she argued.

"Here we are.", He pointed at his apartment building. "Be careful. This is where they got you."

She gripped his arm very tightly all of a sudden. "Oh my God…"

"What?!" His heart raced. Where are they? I'm going to get my revenge!
