Chapter 2:

"Why haven't you called?" asked Tau, "we have been worried ever since you left six months ago."

"Sanora called an immediate meeting," said Lucas, "she wanted to know what just happen as soon as possible."

"Well that doesn't excuse you of not even sending a message or even calling," said Tau letting go of Lucas sounding a little crossed.

Xu walked up to Lucas and whispered to Lucas, "You should know by now that you will never win an argument with my dear wife; might as well say that you're sorry before things get ugly."

"What are you men whispering about?" asked Tau with a menacing look.

"Nothing honey," said Xu with a smile and sweating a little, "but Lucas has something to say."

"Well?" asked Tau directing her gaze now at Lucas and now she was tapping her leg, "what do you have to say Lucas?"

Lucas turns to Xu, but found him admiring the berries his wife was growing. Then he turns to Seta, but she was gone. Then he stared right back at Tau who was still waiting

"Xu if you can hear me I'm a going to kill you,"said Lucas in his mind as he notice a small smile on Xu face out of the corner of his eye, "Well I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that I haven't called or written in six month."

"That's better," said Tau with a smile on her face, "now knowing you, you probably ate everything on your first day travelling. Come in and I'll see what I can make for a snack."

As they were walking towards the house Seta appeared right next to Lucas.

"Thanks for bailing out on me," said Lucas, "I could have used your help back there."

"Sorry but when mom get that like that its every mon or man for themselves," said Seta scared, "Man I thought she was going to send you flying with her Psychic attack."

"Thank you miss dependable," said Lucas now turning to Xu, "and you, I had the situation under control why did you bud in like that?"

"It was either that or like Seta said you would have been sent flying," said Xu with a smile, "now stop arguing and let's go eat something before Tau gets mad."

As they walked into the house Lucas stops and admired the inside of the house. The paint scene inside the house was the borders were painted the color purple while the rest of the wall was a greenish color (Lucas couldn't remember the name of the color). The furniture was nice and simple, a nice brown sofa with a coffee table with a 47' in flat screen in the living room. In the kitchen there was as a table that could sit six people, but Lucas notices that it was able to expand to sit eight. The rest of the kitchen was adorned with wooden cabinets, a small island in the middle, and an electric stove with the microwave right above it. Lucas also notices the sliding door that lead outside to the nice backyard. The backyard had small patio that overlooked a small field where a decent playground was built in the middle.

"Why don't you boys go out in the backyard while I make some sandwiches," said Tau.

"Sure," said Xu, "you want anything to drink while we wait for our snacks?"

"Water would just be fine thank you," said Lucas.

Xu handed the water and started to head outside with Lucas following close behind. Lucas notice a nice patio set with a propane grill nearby. The both sat down and enjoyed there drinks as they both watch the scenery. Lucas could help think what this place looked like six months ago. Craters from mortar rounds, burning buildings in the distance. Worse of all the bodies of both pokemon and human littering place. That last thing piece of memory still haunts his dreams.

"You know the more you think about it the unhealthier it would be for you," said Xu.

"What are you talking about Xu?" said Lucas, "I was admiring the scenery."

"You can try and lie," said Xu, "but you can't hide it from me for two reason."

"And those reason are?" asked Lucas.

"Reason number one," said Xu in a-matter-in-fact tone, "you forget that I'm psychic and was able to take a small peek into your mind."

"I hate it when you do that," said Lucas a little annoyed, "and what is the second reason."

"Reason number two," said Xu now more serious, "I know you for almost thirteen years, three months four…"

"OKAY," said Lucas loudly, "I get it, we known each other a long time, but it hard for me to forget something that horrible it's just going to take me sometime."

"Does anyone else know what you're going through?" asked Xu.

"Sanora might have an idea what going on," said Lucas, "but I know Esp knows and she hasn't said anything to me yet."

"Sorry who is Esp?" asked Xu.

"She is a Espeon morph," said Lucas, "and she is a Sentinel captain that work with the intelligent department."

"Are you guys close?" asked Xu.

"She is the one that gave the recommendation for me to become a captain," said Lucas, "She is also the one that train me to become a Sentinel."

"You didn't answer my question," said Xu.

"No we are just friends," said Lucas, "I known her since I started the road to becoming a Sentinel."

"So are you going to talk to Esp?" asked Xu.

"Most likely," said Lucas taking a sip of his water, "she knows, but she is waiting for me when I'm ready. Not like someone I know"

"Okay, okay," said Xu finally giving up, "as long as you go talk to someone I will leave you alone, okay?"

"Deal," said Lucas, "now let's change the topic, shall we?"

"So how did the negotiation go?" asked Tau as she joined them with a tray full of sandwiches.

"You know that I'm not a big fan of politics," said Lucas "that's why I brought my lieutenant Crystal, a Vaporeon morph, so she can take notes while I rested my eyes a little."

"That is so like you Lucas," said Tau, "make other people do the work while you go to sleep. Honestly how do you get work done is beyond me."

"I didn't sleep the whole negotiation," said Lucas turning a little serious, "I was fully awake when the junior officers of the nexus were brought in."

"Wait," said Xu, "you said junior officers, what happen to the senior officers and their leader?"

"Well that's what the Judges asked," said Lucas, "it turned out that on the final assault on their main base all senior officers that had Intel that was deemed important were to be evacuated without the knowledge of their junior staff."

"In other words they left their staff to defend themselves," said Xu with disgust in his voice.

"So how many people escape?" asked Tau.

"Don't know," said Lucas, "they manage to wipe some of their information from the computers that were onsite, but not all of it. Right now Esp is working close with the Intel department on getting anything that can help us. What the junior staff told the judges is that they notice at least 7 of the 10 military brass and at least 5 head scientist were missing before the attack started."

"So that make 12 people that have escape," said Xu.

"You forgot their leader," said Lucas, "that makes 13 people that we have to hunt down."

"Does anyone know who he is?" asked Tau.

"It seemed that no one knew who he or she is," said Lucas, "the only thing that the staff knew of him was that he went by Mr. G."

"So what happen to the junior staff?" asked Xu.

"It took the Judges a couple of hours to reach a decision," Said Lucas, "they were to serve life in prison. The judges said there might be a possibility of parole since they weren't that involved, but it's really a small chance."

"They are lucky that they just got life," Said Tau, "I would have just thrown them in a lake filled with Sharpedos"

"You are not the only one," said Lucas not stunned by the comment, "the people that attended hearings wanted justice for what the nexus have done to them and their families."

"So what happen?" asked Tau.

"Lance, one of the judges and member of the elite four, asked the people to not seek justice by violence," said Lucas, "because we might turn into the same organization that they have just defeated and the circle of violence will never end."

"That Lance is really a wise man," said Xu, "just like his ancestors before him."

"At least for now we can start to rebuilt," said Tau, "try to replace our peace."

"For some of us it will be hard," said Lucas, "tell me how is John doing?"

"I was wondering when you were going to ask me that," said Xu with a smile.
