Allan Quatermain looked over the young man during the carriage ride to Captain Nemo’s vessel, Nautilus, and noted that there was nothing special about him.
He was thin and effeminate looking with soft pale skin that was blemish free. His eyes at first when the opium was still in his system was a blank bright blue that grew darker and more aware as time wore on and by the time they got to the vessel and into the main dining room they were a dark blue that looked at everyone angrily as they passed him. Dark rings from lack of sleep became more evident around the eyes the more sober he got.
“Where am I?”It took him a few hours to gather enough sense about him to speak but the signs of with drawl was coming in as he spoke, Every once and a while he would jerk his head and his eyes would twitch before he would bite on his bottom lip to stop it. Sweat started to appear on his brow and there was a hint of irritation in his voice.
Quatermain looked up from the papers he was looking at to look at the younger man, “We are aboard a vessel owned by a man named Nemo…have you heard of him?”
The young man nodded trying to hide a violent twitch, “A little…he invented some things, correct?”
“I have done more than just ‘invent some things’ Mr. Baits.”
A tall thin man walked out of one of the doors that were in the room. His brown skin made his white English captain like clothes shine. His head was tightly wrapped and there was a slight smile on his bearded face. “I would correct you but I doubt in your current state it would be a lost cause because you would not understand me.”
Scowling the young man sat back in his chair breathing heavily like he was just in a race, “I understand quite well, and please no Mr. or Master, just Adrian.”
There was a chuckle from a nearby corner as Skinner spoke for the first time since they entered the room. “You don’t like bein’ called Master Baits?” he shrugged from the glares and stares he got, “Wot? I think it’s quite funny.”
Adrian continued to glare, “So did all my school mates.” He shakily ran a hand through his hair and turned his attention back to Quatermain, “Why am I here?”
Quatermain picked out a file from the stack of papers in front of him, “A couple of days ago a dear friend of mine’s daughter’s body was founded in an alley in London. She had no signs of violence and from what the coroner could tell no reason to die. It was like she just fell asleep and was due to wake up at anytime.” He passed the file over to Adrian who looked at the cover briefly before he shakily opened it to show a picture of a very young woman.
She was undressed but had a white sheet covering her from just atop of her small breasts down. She was young, Adrian noted, could not be older than 15 and if she was allowed to grow up she would have been a very beautiful woman. In the black and white picture it was hard to see a lot of characteristics but he noted that she had dark hair and he skin was pale.
“Her 15th birthday was in a few weeks.” Quatermain sat back watching the young man closely as he looked through the file. “Her parents sent a message to me when the coroner couldn’t find anything. They suspected that she was murdered by something…unnatural.”
“It is not surprising that he did not find anything…He did a hack job on her.” Adrian found the photo of after the coroner was done, “Was he an Idiot or inexperienced? The Y incision is all wrong and I bet when they tried to move her after the autopsy her inners fell out.” He scowled and threw the pictures down in disgust, “A beautiful body maimed by an incompetent.”
Quatermain raised an eyebrow, “I guess by your enthusiasm you would be interested in helping us out.”
A smirk appeared on Adrian’s face that seemed extremely out of place. He put the pictures back into the file and pushed it back to Quatermain, “Not necessarily, I do not care about this I just think it is a shame on what has happen to her…” He ebbed away, the smirk leaving as he eyes grew distant, “Besides…I do not deal with the dead anymore.”
Quatermain gave him a hard look, “Why not? From what I heard you only dealt with death, what do you deal with now? Opium den owners?” He pushed the file back, “You are a necromancer, correct? One of the best at dealing with dead bodies?”
Adrian didn’t take back the file, “Like I said, I do not deal with the dead anymore , plus I was in training to be one, I was not that good.” He tilted his head his teeth clenching in a not so hidden anger, “Who told you this anyways?”
“One of my associates… A Mina Harker.”
Adrian’s face paled even more, “Mina? She is here? On this vessel?” He stood up pacing, panicking, “I-I have to get off…I need to get away, she cannot see me…”
“Calm down.” Quartermain stood up too, alarmed by his reaction. “She’s not here…”
Nemo coughed to get everyone’s attention. Adrian stopped pacing to look at the pirate captain, his eyes had lost some of its panic. Skinner had moved to the door heading out incase Adrian decided to run.
“Actually she just arrived.” Nemo crossed his arms, “I had come in to tell you, she should be heading to this room right now.”
