Felix watched in silent horror as Adrien sat down beside a freakish monstrosity, chatting like old friends. He almost gagged when they began to partake from the same tub of ice cream, the creature’s grotesque features a sick parody of human behaviour.
He had no idea how Adrien could stomach being in the same room as that thing, let alone eat from the same dish.
As quietly as he could, he backed away from the entrance, and stealthily crept back down the way he had come. He climbed up the rough stonework to the tunnel, then promptly emptied his stomach over the train tracks.
He spat repeatedly, then wiped his mouth on his sleeve, before staggering back to the platform. He avoided making eye contact with everyone he passed on the way home, and once there, he headed directly to his bathroom to brush his teeth, shower, and change clothes.
Astounded and disgusted, he sat in his computer chair, wondering what his next course of action should be. What he knew for certain was that Adrien could not be permitted to continue his acquaintance with that aberration.
His options were limited. If he told Gabriel, there was no telling what would happen. The creature would definitely be hunted down and killed, but Gabriel could pull them both out of school and shut them away for the rest of their natural lives. Felix couldn’t take that risk, now that he had reason to venture beyond the walls of his home.
Telling the authorities, magical or mundane, was also deemed unideal, as they would inevitably report back to Gabriel, ending in the same result as telling Gabriel directly.
Felix squinted, his index finger curled over his chin as he thought. This was something he needed to keep away from everyone’s attention, therefore it needed to be handled quietly and efficiently.
Felix picked up his phone.

Gorilla answered his summons grudgingly. He knocked on Felix’s bedroom door, then entered without waiting for permission, a surly expression on his face. Felix couldn’t blame him, but this was not the time to hold on to past indiscretions.
Felix indicated his desk chair. ‘Take a seat.’
Gorilla remained standing by the foot of the bed.
Felix gave him a flat look, then sighed. ‘As you will recall, I asked you to follow Adrien while he was sneaking about. Today, I followed him down that hole in the wall myself, and I think we have a serious problem.’
Gorilla remained unmoved, simply crossing his arms as he waited for Felix to get to the point.
With a shudder, he went on. ‘Adrien goes down there to meet some creature, one, I’ll bet, he mistakenly believes is a friend. This thing is a freak, a giant, hideous mutation, and it’s only a matter of time before it turns on him. What I want you to do, is sneak into that tunnel and widen that hole he enters through. Make it look as natural as you can, and once you’re confident you can fit, I want you to arm yourself, go down there, and eliminate that beast. Of course, I will accompany you. I wouldn’t ask you to do something so dangerous I would not be willing to do myself, and I need to see the monster’s body for myself. We will have to dispose of it before Adrien finds out, too. Are you with me?’
Gorilla stared at his shoes while he thought, then looked up to meet Felix’s eyes, nodding firmly.
‘Thank you. Take a pick axe and whatever else you need to widen that hole. Investigate for yourself if you need to. The way to the creature’s lair is straightforward, just down the left path. Let me know when you’re ready.’
Gorilla nodded again, then lumbered out of the room, presumably to gather the necessary equipment.
Felix resumed his seat in the desk chair, spinning slowly until he faced the monitors. He sat for a long moment, his mind unusually blank.
After some time, a perfunctory knock sounded on his bedroom door, before Nathalie stuck her head in.
‘Your father would like to have a word with you.’
Felix snapped out of his fugue, to roll his eyes. ‘I bet.’
He followed Nathalie obediently to Gabriel's office, then preceded her to the desk, Gabriel's displeased countenance staring back at him.
‘Would you care to explain where you were this afternoon?’ he asked in clipped tones.
‘I was running an errand for a designer. He wanted to see if I could source some new fabric for him.’
Gabriel's frown deepened. ‘You should know making such a change is the sole domain of the CEO. A mere designer has no such authority.’
‘Which is why I failed to secure a new supplier.’
Gabriel's brows shot up. ‘Are you telling me you deliberately failed a task out of spite?’
‘Not spite, Father, simply the knowledge that such a change was above the man’s paygrade.’
Gabriel leaned back, his scowl back in place, and his hands clasped upon the desk. ‘I almost believe you. However, tracking down a new supplier does not require one to leave the premises, and you were out of the office for hours. You didn’t even bother to come back, instead choosing to come home. Are you shirking your duties, or do you think yourself above any further punishment?’
‘Neither, Father,’ Felix replied, blandly.
‘Yet, you decided to give yourself an early mark. Why is that?’
Felix’s usually quick wits abandoned him, leaving him standing before his father’s desk, looking like a fool.
‘I was,’ he paused, groping for a reasonable excuse. ‘I wanted to check up on an idea I had.’
Gabriel raised a questioning brow.
‘I’ve heard that the acquisitions officer has not been conducting thorough research on the best places to purchase goods from. I simply wanted to bring in some of my own findings and present them to him, so he could make an informed choice the next time he needs to purchase stationery.’
Still, Gabriel didn’t look convinced. ‘I will let it slide this time, on the off chance you are telling the truth. But come the next financial report, there better be a noticeable improvement in our outgoing expenses.’
‘Of course, Father.’
Gabriel waved his hand, dismissing Felix from his presence. Felix curled his nose as he turned away, tired of his father’s autocratic behaviour.
He returned to his room, looking up stationery suppliers to compare their fees and delivery schedules. By dinnertime, he had cobbled together a compendium of stationery retailers to give to the purchasing officer the following day. He didn’t tell anyone he had no idea who their current supplier actually was.
The following morning, Gorilla sent him a picture of the hole in the Metro tunnel wall. He had already widened it enough for an average sized man to fit through.
Felix smiled. He would have the beast dealt with soon enough.
