A/N: Thanks for the reviews!


Adding characters from "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"


Andrew looked out of the tinted windows. What the hell was he doing? He was always the cautious one in siuations like this. That being said, he hadn't been taken by a stranger before. Maybe weirdos went after the Cute Popular kids. But now here he was. His face was swelling up. The napkin Dr Morlar had given him was now useless from all the blood. He wondered what to do with The napkin. He couldn't look at it anymore without thinking about his Dad's beating.

Then all of a sudden, the car stopped.


Andrew was slammed back in car. He sniffed and Dr Morlar turned around.

"Mr Detmer, we know" Dr Morlar said with a Grin.

"Know what?" Andrew asked. The Doctor pointed towards the buliding. They both got out of the car and Andrew followed Dr Morlar in. They went through the gate In the building and there were rows of rooms. To Andrew it looked a lot like school.


Dr Morlar opened a door for him.

"Mr Detmer, come in" Dr Morlar said. And he opened the door. Andrew stepped in and saw a Girl on her computer, typing.

"Umm..Hi" Andrew said nervously. The Girl didn't smile back. She just looked at him wth a hard stare. Then she turned back to her computer and carried on typing. Andrew wondered if this was some kind of scaring Tactic. The Girl was dressed in a Goth type of style. Dark clothes. Silver Jewellery. He was sure this Girl had Tattoos as well. He Sat down and Dr Morlar sat down opposite him. The conversation they had went round in circles.

"Andrew we know about the cave" Dr Morlar said.


"Huh"

"Mr Detmer we know about your powers" Dr Morlar would say.

"What powers? Sir...I'm tired" Andrew felt his pockets under the table. Shit. He had no phone. He didn't really take it out with him. The only people that talked to him were his family. And even then it wasn't much. He needed to know if this Doctor had seen Matt. No, that couldn't be possible. Matt would have warned him first. Andrew would never know now, because he didn't have his mobile on him. The only good thing about this, was that Steve could be kept out of this.


"So, Steve Montgomery is Very much Alive and well" Dr Morlar said as if he was reading Andrew's mind. Andrew knew he had to handle this calmly. But maybe freaking out was the best way to go. Andrew was still pissed at Steve, but they both knew their friend-ship would over-come this. He told Dr Morlar the same story Matt had told everyone at school.

"Steve was in an accident. A Car thing. The Doctor's made a mistake. Sir you are making a mistake"

"Well maybe we should bring Steve in to question him" Doctor Morlar said. Andrew bent his head down. The table moved maybe half an inch off of the ground. Andrew pulled his chair in so that the Doctor would be distracted. He didn't want Steve anywhere near this Guy. But he couldn't get angry enough to use his powers.


"Sir Steve has nothing to say. I've got nothing to say. I'm gonna go...now" Andrew got up. The Goth Girl at the computer got up and showed him out.

"Lisbeth will take you home. I'll be seeing you again Mr Detmer" Dr Morlar said, looking at the blood on Andrew's Shirt. Andrew ignored him and walked with this "Lisbeth" down the corridoor.

"What is this place?" Andrew asked.


"It's confidential. But your powers are not. This "Steve" makes you angry" Lisbeth said. it was more of an accusation, than a Question. Andrew stopped walking, but Lisbeth proddded him on, until they were outside.

"Steve's not my favourite person" Andrew said.

"I figured. Goodbye, Mr Detmer, be safe" Lisbeth said. Andrew was puzzled by her. He was puzzled by everything. But he didn't want to stick around to figure things out. He walked the normal way home, stopping and asking Passers-by for directions. He called Matt on the way home.


"Hey, this Dr Moaner Guy, have you spoken to him?" Andrew asked.

"Andrew I never thought I'd ask this, but are you on something?" Matt asked Andrew.

"So you have no idea what I'm talking about?" Andrew asked.


"No, do you?" Matt said. Andrew heard whispers and laughter in the back-ground. He figured Matt was with Casey.

"We've gotta talk tomorrow" Andrew said.

"Okay whatever" Matt ended the call.

"Matt? Matt?" Andrew put down the pay-phone. He was going to get a Quick shower, even if the noise did piss off his Dad. He put the key in the lock, when someone patted him on the shoulder. Without thinking, Andrew used his powers and sent the Guy flying.

"Shit Andrew!"


"God Steve!" Andrew yelled anxiously running to his friend's side. He helped him up and they walked towards his house.

"What the hell happened to you?" Steve asked looking at Andrew's bloody shirt.

"I fell over walking home"Andrew lied.


"Really?" Steve asked. Andrew was secretly pleased at his friend's concern. But he played it cool. The way Steve would.

"So you care all of a sudden?" Andrew asked.

"Damn right I care Andrew. Some Dr Morling Guy was knocking at my door yesterday. I came to warn you"

"Too late. I've seen him" Andrew said.


"And he hurt you? Fuck!" Steve said angrily. Andrew shook his head.

"I fell over. This Dr Morling or whatever. He's weird. I played dumb. But he's not going to stop"

"How much do you think he knows?" Steve asked.


"I don't wanna know" Andrew told him.

"You know what else I wanna know?" Steve asked.

"What?"

"Andrew...umm...Do you...wanna go out sometime?" Steve asked.

"What?" Andrew asked.


"Wow. We've been friends for a while and...this is still really awkward. So you're beat up and everything, but umm..you avoid me at school. And we're alone and...I just thought I'd ask. Everyone at school is kinda bugging me about the fake car accident that never happened. I have to lie all the time. I don't lie when I'm with you Andrew. Yeah that's corny but it's true" Steve said.

"Where would we go?" Andrew said beginning to picture the date in his mind.

Umm...the Boy's toilets at school, Nah, I'm kidding. Sushi bar, Fun-fair, a movie. Anything you want Andrew" Steve said. It got colder. The Boys instinctively came closer together for warmth.


"I just want us to be friends. I don't care where we hang out"Andrew told him.

"That's cute Andrew. But I Like you a lot. And I just figured I Could take you somewhere special"

"No Matt?" Andrew asked smiling.


"I try not to Date Two cousins at Once. unless you're into that freaky stuff. Just me and you Andrew. So Detmer...What do you say?" Steve asked. It was getting darker, but to Andrew Steve's face was luminous. It was like Steve's Nervousness served as a torch. Andrew stared at Steve and couldn't stop until he realized that Steve was waiting.

"Well if this is a special invite. Just for me, then..." Andrew started to say


"Andrew! Yeah I can see your ass!" Andrew's Dad Richard yelled from the window. "Steve ain't you got a home to go to young man?" Richard asked.

"Yes Sir Good-night" Steve said. He nodded at Andrew. Andrew could only say Goodbye to his best friend, with his eyes.
