The Lylat Luxury Hotel: Part 2

[CrypticQuery]

Zeke was still in the crazed mind state that his PTSD had caused him.  He didn't snap out of it in a short time like the first encounter.  As he began regaining muscle control, he managed to get back up and charge at the reinforcements that had just emerged from the elevator.

[Guest Mr. Mario]

The soldiers got out of the elevator and ran to Zeke, one of them would shout out DON'T MOVE or GET OUT OF OUR WAY.

The soldiers were getting ready to use their taser guns on Zeke.

"Glad you could call us Mr. Dark." One of the soldiers said.

"It was nothing." Norman said.

[CrypticQuery]

"IT'S GOT MY ARM!!!!", one of the soldiers screamed, as Zeke latched on with a crushing force.  "OPEN FIRE!!", the superior commanded, and fifteen stun bullets ripped into Zeke, rendering him immobile and unconscious.

[Guest Mr. Mario]

"Did any of you guys get him?" Norman asked, looking at Zeke...

'This havoc must stop right now.' Norman thought.

He gave some hand signials to the soldiers to take him out of the hotel and to the hosiptal.

[CrypticQuery]

"Yeah!", one of the soldiers responded to Norman, "he's immobilized and out cold!".  The other soldier which Zeke got to was rushed out of the building.  "Norman!", one of the commandos yelled out, "What do we do with him, it's your call!"

[Guest Mr. Mario]

"We take him to a hospital and get him treated, that is an order." Norman said.

[CrypticQuery]

"Yes sir!", he replied, as Zeke was carted off on a stretcher.  "Sir!", one of the soldiers motioned to Norman, "once he gets outta the hospital, we're gonna place him on room arrest in the hotel."

[Guest Mr. Mario]

"All right, you may want add this crime to his records too." Norman said, watching the soldiers take Zeke...

[CrypticQuery]

(Can I acquire a time passing segment Mr. N? )

Zeke partially awoke on the stretcher, and things didn't look too good for him.  Just before he was lead into the elevator, he let out a psychotic and demented laugh.  Some of the soldiers waited for another elevator because of this. 

[CrypticQuery]

"Sir!", the soldier said while saluting and exiting the building.

*****Time Passes, Zeke is being brought back to the hotel under specific instruction and room arrest.

A  three vehicle convoy arrived outside of the hotel and one of the soldiers attempted to contact Mr. Dark.  "We can't get this nutcase in without Mr. Dark's clearance, so keep trying to reach him", another said.

[Guest Mr. Mario]

Norman said to Charles "Zeke is now in the hands of the government. My soldiers will do their best to get him to a nearby hospital."

Norman's watch rang, he pressed a button and he said "This is Mr. Dark here speaking."

[CrypticQuery]

"Mr. Dark? This is Lieutenant Davis with the Lylat National Guard.  We'd like to bring this nutcase back up to the room, do we have your clearance to do so?"

[Guest Mr. Mario]

"My clearence is accepted, please be careful, we have a inocent bystander here so just do your best and ignore him." Norman said.

[CrypticQuery]

"Affirmative", replied the Lieutenant.  As the elevator doors opened, onlookers that did not know the situation would've been met with a fright.  The word "insane" was an understatement to Zeke's current condition.  He was attempting to chew his own arm off, he looked terrible, with matted fur everywhere.  His eyes were glancing everywhere, but when they saw Norman everything stopped.  "Alright, just sign for him, and we'll put him in the room with this straitjacket on.", said an accompanying soldier.

[Guest Mr. Mario]

"Ok soldier." Norman said, writing his signature on the spots that said to sign, not signing to the spots that said don't sign. Norman nodded and gave the papers back to the soldier.

[CrypticQuery]

After depositing Zeke on the bed, the soldiers returned outside, but not without a message for Norman.  "Watch out with him, he hasn't spoken ever since we patched him up at the hospital.  Also, don't have any pickle jars around either.....it's a long story." With that, he also left.

[Guest Mr. Mario]

"Very good then. I'll issue a code black for this floor so nobody can enter another disasster here." Norman replied, watching the soldiers leave.

Norman's watch rang and he pressed a button to answer "Mr. Dark, speaking."

"We saw that you did a very good job there Norman." Someone said.

"Who is this speaking?" Norman asked.

"I'm the head of the organization Norman, don't remember me?"

"No I guess not..." Norman sighed.

"Listen, Davis informed us about that crime you had stopped, we're very impressed with your work."

"So...I get paid?" Norman asked.

"Yes you do, for that hard work you done. Now I'm signing off, gotta go."

there was a dial tone...Norman turned off his watch.

'Ahh...what a day.' He htought.

[CrypticQuery]

Zeke's mind (if you could call it that) was barely holding together, let alone stable.  The only things that went through it were traumatic memories, death, destruction, and for some reason, the events at the hotel.  His sanity was holding together by a thread, and if someone didn't intervene soon, it would be lost forever.

[Guest Mr. Mario]

With everything cleared up, Norman said to Charles "Come on let's get out of here. I issued a code black so everyone icluding you is off-limits." Norman wakled to the elevator and waited for Charles...

[Geo Stelar]

For the first time, Charles went to the elevator and is wondering what would happen next.

[CrypticQuery]

The only thing that kept Zeke going was the dream of seeing true life again.  While he wasn't engrossed in his troubled past and recent traumatic memories, his memory was slowly recovering, and he found more and more every hour.  He was starting to remember who he was......and what happened.  Everything he lost........which sent him on a spiral farther and farther into insanity.  He had to get out of this room, and away from his "other side" before it was too late.

[Guest Mr. Mario]

Norman flicked the hallway lightswitch off and the hallway was pitch-dark.

The elevator door closed and Norman pressed a button that would go down to the hotel lobby...

[CrypticQuery]

As Zeke wriggled and lurched in his straitjacket more and more, he ended up falling off of the bed and landing on the floor, near a desk and chair.  "That chair leg looks sharp enough to unbind my hands", he thought, "and once that is done with I can claw my way out of this thing!".  His plan was set rolling as he repeatedly shifted back and forth between the sharp section of the chair leg.  "This better work, I'd rather die of exhaustion than stay one more minute in here."

[Guest Mr. Mario]

Norman loooked at his watch, dailed Davis's number and waited...

... ... ... ... ... ..

"Lieutenant Davis, this is Mr. Dark speaking, I need you to order your soldiers to keep an eye on Zeke, tell them to come equipped with their weapons and their flashlight. I issued a code black in a hallway." Norman said, awaiting for a response.

[CrypticQuery]

"Davis speaking....Uh-huh...ok, we'll be sure to handle that."  "I need some of my best men to handle that basket-case we dropped off at that hotel!", said the Lieutenant.  This was greeted with a loud moan from the crowd, and an eventual dispatch.  "Norman, they're on the way."
