I'm continuing this story I guess. Supermach decided to follow this and I assumed that means he/she wants me to continue.

Thanks for the review X and Baldore.

Holiday tapped her pen impatiently on her desk. Rex had been missing for the last few days. Even Bobo didn't know where he went. Holiday didn't know what they did to make him so angry. The tracking device they injected him with was rendered inactive by his nanites. Six couldn't find hide nor hair and he was an expert tracker.

White Knight was beside himself with anger. He raged at them all during the daily meeting. Holiday paid him no mind. When it came to Rex, he was too important to lose.

So his threats were idle. But she could tell that Six was starting to worry. And that made her worry.

She had called Noah again this morning but Noah hadn't heard from him either. So where could he be. Is he in another cloaked town? But what are the odds? Did Van Kleiss get to him? But there have been no activity from the Abysus for weeks. Where could he be?

Just as Holiday was ready to throw her pen at her computer monitor in frustration her cell rang.

She checked the number on the phone. It wasn't one she recognized. Out of curiosity she answered.

"Hello?" She asked tiredly.

"Doc, it's me." Rex said hesitantly.

"Rex! Where are you? We've been so worried!" Holiday tried to keep her voice calm but failed.

"Umm, I can't tell you." He said.

"What do you mean? Just tell me and I'll get Six…"

"No! You can't tell anyone I called." Rex sounded frantic.

Holiday was afraid he would hang up. "Rex, wait. I promise I won't tell anyone. Are you in trouble?"

"No, actually I'm fine. I just called you to let you know I'm leaving Providence."

Holiday blinked. She wasn't sure she heard right. "What do you mean?"

"Look, other than you and Bobo, everyone treats me like I'm cannon fodder. I want to be somewhere I'm appreciated." Rex complained.

"Rex, we do appreciate you. It's… just that… some people show it differently than others." Holiday knew it sounded pretty weak but it was the best she could think of to say.

"Don't try to defend them, Doc. You know they don't care about me, just what I can do for them." Rex sounded bitter.

"Rex," She tried to choose her words carefully, "you are who you are. You can't change that and you can't change what others want from you. But you've always done the right thing despite what it costs because it's the right thing to do."

"Yeah, I know." Rex begrudgingly admitted. Holiday started to relax until Rex started to talk. "But that's why I'm leaving. I've found people who are also working for a cure. They want to work with me."

"Wait, what?" Holiday almost yelled.

"Yeah, they're great. They want to help people too. But they don't fight EVOs. They just take care of them like the ones we have in the Petting Zoo. They're studying them in a humane way… not that you aren't Doc."Rex back tracked afraid he would offend the doctor. But Holiday wasn't offended she was shocked.

"Rex, do you even know these people?" She asked.

"Uhh, sure I've been working with them the past few days. They're great. "Rex repeated himself.

"How do you know they're not taking advantage of you? Or if they work with Van Kleiss?" She was pacing her lab now.

"Doc, I'm not stupid." Rex scoffed. "I got to go wherever I want. I don't even tell them. They never said anything. I come back when I want to. They even gave me a stipend! They appreciate me."

Holiday had a sinking feeling that she was fighting a losing battle. Then an idea occurred to her.

"Rex, if they're as great as you say they are then they wouldn't mind if I came by and checked everything out." Holiday said.

"Uh, well, I… I… I don't know." Rex stammered.

"Rex, you know I only want the best for you. If this place is really what you want you know I won't stand in your way. But I have to make sure for myself. I want to make sure you're okay and that they will take care of you." She said honestly.

"I guess I can ask." Rex said uncertainly.

"I'll wait." She said firmly then held her breath as the phone went silent. She crossed her fingers and prayed. A few minutes later Rex came back. "Can you come to these coordinates alone? A helicopter will meet you there."

"You're not coming?" Holiday furrowed her brow.

"They want to keep their base secret… so it's best this way. Don't tell anyone." Rex said.

"I won't. I'll be there in…," She quickly calculated the time," thirty minutes."

"Great, I'll see you soon. It's great here. You'll see." The click signaled the end of the conversation.

Holiday scrambled to bring some things she might need. After shoving them all into a small duffle bag she, exited her lab. Six was still out looking for Rex. But she had promised not to tell anyway. But she walked to Rex's room and opened it up. Sure enough Bobo was lazing around in his hammock.

"Bobo, I'll be gone for the rest of the day. If you see Six, tell him delta zero." Holiday said.

"Sure, whatever." Bobo waved from his hammock, fez still over his eyes.

With that Holiday left, she hoped Six would get her message.
