The real connection
Chapter 2: Quatros and disguises
(It was mid afternoon in London and Serena was sat across from Shaz flicking through a magazine. She winced at some of the fashions that were scattered across the pages)
"Wonder what Mina would say if she was here" the blonde headed girl though and winced at the thought of the other blonde headed scout. She was probably the scout that she missed while she was trapped in this world. Seeing the look on Serena`s face Shaz glanced across the typewriter
"You ok" the black haired girl smiled at Serena "You look a little anxious". Serena nodded and smiled
"I suppose I am" she sighed "I just hope Darien is ok. He seems a long time out with those other two males"
"Don`t worry" Chris grinned lying back in the chair "Your guy is perfectly capable with Gene. Maybe not Ray though" he grinned to himself and Alex who has just walked into CID turned to stare at Chris along with Shaz "What!" Chris looked confused glancing from Alex and then to Shaz "What have I done now" the blonde haired male complained
"Doesn`t matter" Shaz muttered rolling her eyes then turning back to the typewriter where she was typing up notes that Gene had given her on the drugs operation. Suddenly the door opened and Gene strode back in, followed by Ray and then finally Darien. Gene and Ray had managed to find the black haired male a dark shirt along with grey trousers and dark shoes.
"Your back!" Serena grinned running towards her prince. Darien smiled
"Where did you think I had got to" he replied giving Serena a big kiss. Serena blushed as she started playing with her fingers her head low
"I don't know" she murmured "I thought you might have gone home or something" she replied her head bent low with embarrassment
"No" Darien shook his head "I thought you would have known me better than that Serena" he laughed "When we go home we are going together and that a promise"
"That`s so cute!" Shaz grinned leaning over the type writer "You never say things like that to me Chris!" she glared at Chris "When was the last time you took me out for me a meal and I`m not counting Luigi`s on that!"
"What is this slap Chris day" Chris complained "First Ray this morning then you. I don't have to stay around here you know to get harassed"
"You and Chris might be more alike then you think" Darien murmured in Serena`s ear. Now it was the meatball headed girl turn to glare at her bethrothed
"Thanks very much" she replied poking her tongue out. Gene and Alex then strode out of the office
"Me and Bolly are off to stake out about that drugs raid that happened this morning" the blonde headed male announced "Chris, Ray you stay here and try and trace up anyone who was around this morning. And you two" he glanced at Serena and Darien "You just stay here and don't make any mischief" he raised an eyebrow which made Ray smirk, Chris confused and Shaz and Alex glare at their leader. Serena nodded
"Yes sir" she mumbled. Gene and Alex walked out of the building as Shaz turned to Serena
"Tomorrow you and me are going to a hairdresser" she smiled "As much as I like your hairstyle it isn't suitable."
"But I have had this hairstyle all my life!" Serena protested "It`s part of who I am!". Serena couldn't really explain about Sailor Moon to Shaz as she wouldn't understand what she meant. Darien then tapped Serena on the shoulder and Serena turned around to glance at him
"Maybe Shaz is right" he replied. Darien then muttered under his breath "Maybe if whoever sent us here might be undercover here as well so if we change ourselves a bit we wont be as obvious"
"But you wont be able to call me Meatball Head anymore" Serena pouted. Darien chuckled
"Maybe ill be able to call you something else instead" he smiled as he kissed the top of Serena`s head. Serena blushed as Shaz just basked in the romantasism of it before going back to her typing
"Somebody gag me" Ray muttered under his breath "Before I throw up"
"I think its cute" Chris admitted before he was a sent a look from his collegue and friend
"Twonk" Ray muttered before he also too went back to his work.
TOKYO JAPAN
(Meanwhile back in Tokyo Raye, Lita, Mina and Amy were sat in a living room waiting for Michelle and Amara to appear. They had sent the unconscious bodies of Serena and Darien to them and the two older scouts had promised to investigate them. Michelle then walked back in the room with a grave look on her face)
"What is it" Mina whispered "Is it bad news?" the blonde headed girl replied
Michelle shook her head "No" she whispered "They are still alive. But they are in a very deep sleep. It seems as if the attack from the monster sent them into a very deep sleep which they cant be waken from. It just seems like its a waiting game until they do wake up"
"But what happens if somebody decides to attack" Lita exclaimed "We are already one scout down plus Tuxedo Mask. We need them!" she cried angrily
"We know Lita" Mina replied putting one hand on the brown headed girl shoulder "But there`s nothing we can do at the moment. Hopefully they will recover soon " she sighed pulling a strand of blonde hair from her shoulder
"Luckily its the summer holidays" Amy said "Then at least the only people we need to keep it from are Serenas parents. Ill contact them and say shes gone on holiday with Darien. That at least covers both of them. Do you mind Michelle if I stay here and run a few tests on both of them" she glanced at her fellow water scout who shook her head
"No problem" she smiled "After all we need to know what has happened to our poor prince and princess. I just hope they are ok" she replied worry crossing her face
"I`m sure we will" Amara muttered "Knowing Serena she will probably recover soon complaining of food and demanding to see Darien. That's if he hasn't recovered soon" the blonde headed masculine scout rolled her eyes as she walked out of the room. Lita stood up as if to follow Amara but Mina pulled her down
"I`m sorry about Amara" Michelle replied "But shes just as worried about Serena and Darien as we are. She just has a funny way of showing it that`s all" Michelle murmured as all the other scouts nodded their heads bent low
"Come back home soon Serena" Raye thought "Otherwise Ill have nobody to fight with" the black haired girl laughed to herself
LONDON ENGLAND
(In London Alex and Gene were riding in the Quatro, trying to find the house where the drug dealer they had found information out from this morning was hiding)
"Slow down Gene!" Alex replied annoyed trying her best to hold on in the car "This isn't a race you know" the brown headed female replied annoyed
"I thought you had got over your issues Drakey with my speed" Gene grunted turning a corner sharply as the red Audi spun its way around "And stop wearing a seatbelt either were policeofficers"
Alex rolled her eyes at the blonde headed male "And you stop being so pig ignorant" she replied angrily as the car came to a sudden stop outside a broken down house. Gene got out of the car and slammed the door as Alex got out of the Quatro slowly, her white boots fallin hard on the gravel. Gene knocked sharply on the door and waited a couple of minutes before a blonde headed female answered the door
"Hello" she replied smiling before Gene pushed past her and knocked the door flying at the same time "Hey!" the blonde headed girl replied annoyed a cross look crossing her pretty face
"Sorry luv but I haven't got time to mess around!" Gene shouted as he raced into the living area where a good looking black headed male with stubble on his face was sleeping, Gene then pushed the sofa over resulting in waking the male up
"What the hell do you think you are doing!" the male exclaimed "And how dare you think you can just come into my house and push me around"
"David Ashware your nicked for the possession of drugs and also the attack on Tom" Gene pause and glanced at Alex "What was his last name again"
"Don`t know" Alex shrugged as the woman cowered in fear as David had his head smashed against the coffee table
"Just Tom then!" Gene exclaimed as he pushed David out of the hallway into the front street where the Quatro was waiting "Don`t worry you can do all your explaining back at the station"
"I am so sorry i have no idea where this information comes from!" Alex apologised to the blonde headed female "Come with us down to the station where you can wait for your boyfriend"
"Thanks" the blonde headed female remained unsure "I think" she murmured as she followed Alex out of the house
(Gene pulled David through CID where some of the backstreet CID glanced at their leader nervously)
"I aint done anything!" the black haired male protested "I have been framed!"
"Just saying that sunshine and ill make sure you will get more years in jail than your age!" Gene exclaimed as he pushed David through the doors of CID. Alex and the blonde headed female walked slowly through the doors as they both sat down on a chair
"I swear he hasn't done anything" the blonde headed girl replied "He was with me all the time. And I can provide a alibi as well" she glanced as Alex as she spoke
"Do not worry" Alex replied "If your boyfriend is as innocent as you say he is then Gene wont be able to take anything off him. What is your name?" she glanced at her
"Angel" she replied her head bowed low
"Ok Angel just wait here" Alex muttered as she opened the doors to CID where Darien and Serena had their heads bent low. Alex walked up to them and the duo broke apart, Serena lightly blushing
"Don`t mind me" Alex replied laughing "I was just popping in to say I am with the girlfriend of the man we brought in for questioning. She could be useful to the investigation as she says she could provide an alibi"
"No problem" Darien nodded "Me and Serena were just discussing our plans for tomorrow anyway"
"We were?" Serena replied. Noticing the look that Darien gave her she gave a small smile "Oh yeah we were" Serena laughed as Alex looked confused
"I`m not even going to ask" the brown haired female replied as she closed the door. But as she did Serena noticed Angel sitting on the seat outside CIDs main office, the blonde headed girl went a deathly shade of pale as she noticed the other blonde headed woman"
"Serena?" Darien lightly touched her arm "Are you ok?"
"The girl" Serena croaked "It`s the same girl who attacked us and who sent us here. Maybe we need to destroy her to get back to Tokyo" she cried "That`s the reason why we are here Darien!" she cried
"Everything ok Serena?" Shaz glanced at her. Darien nodded
"Everything is fine Shaz" he replied. Shaz gave a brief nod as she walked back to her seat and continued with her typing
"I swear Darien it was her!" Serena protested as they sat at a table in Luigis. They had decided to join CID for a drink as it was their first night here
"Maybe it was somebody who looked like her, beside how could she have been sent to 1982 like us" Darien crossed his face as he continued to pour himself a glass of house wine
"She might have been sent there by her leader" Serena replied crossly "These things can happen Darien"
"So what do we do?. Transform or try and let Alex and Gene work things out by themselves" Darien said
"Maybe it isn`t David who is the person involved in this. Maybe it`s her and she`s just covering for him. If they arrest her then maybe we can go home" Serena grinned
"Well we can`t do anything tomorrow anyway as me and you are going to get your haircut" Darien replied. Serena squirmed in her seat
"Didn`t I tell you not to mention that again" she replied crossly "Beside how am I going to transform into Sailor Moon" she hissed
"I`m sure that the crystal will still recognise you without your meatballs" Darien smiled. The door to Luigi`s then opened and Alex and Gene wandered in bickering with one another
"I`m sure that the girl is hiding something" Gene replied as the two of them sat at their usual table. "Luigi another bottle of your house rubbish please" he barked at the Italian owner
"Yes Mr Hunt" Luigi sighed as he wandered off to get the usual bottle of wine
"I don't think so" Alex replied "She seems too genuine and nice to be hiding something as sinister as this"
"I`m going to get a warrant for her tomorrow to bring her in for questioning" Gene replied as Luigi placed a glass of wine in front of them and their usual two glasses "And nothing you say Drakey is going to stop me. Cheers" he replied as he drank slowly the wine
"What was that?" Darien muttered as he and Serena over heard their conversation
"Looks like Gene isn't one for pretty girls after all" Serena grinned "He seems to think the same as I am thinking about our fallen Angel"
"You can`t just start asking her if she belongs to an evil organisation though" Darien scowled "It would make you not look right"
"Well at least im trying!" Serena exclaimed before tears started to fall from her eyes. Darien placed one hand on hers and looked in her blue eyes, blue meeting blue
"Maybe your right" he said sighing "Look let Gene and Alex bring her in for questioning tomorrow and if they have arrested her then maybe we should investigate. Lets just take things slowly ok" he smiled. Serena nodded and also grinned
"You know you just want to see Sailor Moon in action" she grinned as Darien blushed a deep shade of red
"Huh what about you. You know you just want to see Tuxedo Masks dashing cape and hat" the blacked haired male smirked
"Looks like things are back to normal over there" Shaz smiled as Chris put an arm around his fiancés shoulders
"Looks like something or nothing to me" Ray scoffed as he drank a bit more wine. Alex glanced over at Darien and Serena before turning her attention back to Gene, brown eyes matching blue
"What do you think those two are planning" she replied softly "They may be dangerous, I shall have to keep an eye on them. Everything is significant" she murmured
"What are you waffling about Bolly" Gene replied as he polished off the bottle of wine "Another bottle of your house rubbish please Luigi!"
"Nothing" Alex replied softly as she glanced at Serena and Darien, a tear forming in her eye
(Back in Tokyo and Michelle and Amara were glancing at the notes that Amy had made from Serena and Darien)
"This is not good" Michelle replied softly as she glanced at her partner "The other scouts are right Amara what happens if another monster attacks"
"I`m sure we will be fine" Amara smiled putting one arm around her partners shoulder. Suddenly the doorbell rang and Michelle jumped up to answer it leaving Amara on her own. Michelle opened the door to see Tristia standing there in the dark
"Tristia" Michelle replied surprised to see her fellow scout here "What do you want"
"I have news" Tristia replied "And it could be crucial on what happens to Serena and Darien. Here" she said holding out an old newspaper cutting "I think you should sit down" she replied
What has Tristia found and could it help save Serena and Darien. Plus is Angel all she seems?. Tune in next time to fine out
