Ch. 3
Sky paced back and forth anxiously waiting for Bridge to return. He and the rest of the team were sitting in the team room, hoping to hear something from their teamate.
"Sky, can you please stop pacing? You're giving me a headache." Syd complained.
"He should have been back by now," Sky muttered, ignoring the blonde.
Jack, who was lounging on the couch, looked up from his comic book. "Bridge knows what he's doing," he said. "He probably got caught up in his investigation."
"Or got in over his head," someone said.
The B-Squad turned to see Kat Manx standing in the door way. "Cruger needs to see all of you now. He says its urgent."
Vinetrix watched the Krybots transfer a cocoon type pod from one area to another before taking out a communicator. "Phase One: complete. Beginning Phase Two."
The B-Squad walked down to the control center and stood at attention before their commander.
"You wanted to see us?" Jack asked.
Cruger turned his chair around to face them. "Yes, I wish to speak with you about Cadet Carson," he said. "Why isn't he here with you?"
"He's currently investigating, or was investigating, a possible lead," Jack replied.
"How long ago was that?" Cruger asked.
"Three hours, sir." Sky answered.
The commander shifted in his chair. He didn't like the situation the B-Squad was in.
"Sky, go see what is taking Bridge so long. The rest of you stay here. I don't need any more of you disappearing."
Sky drove his pator cycle to Bridge's last location. His thoughts kept drifting from from what's taking him so long? to did something happen to him? The blue ranger tried to push his thoughts aside, but failed to do so. He couldn't shake the feeling something bad had happened to his friend.
"Bridge, this better be a prank." he muttered to himself.
His worries lessened slightly when he saw a familiar green patrol cycle parked outside an alley. Sky parked next to it, inspected it and noticed little vines were wrapped around it. How did vines get here? The ranger walked into the alley, noting the vine covered walls. Sky's fears gradually rose the farther he walked. He tried communicating to Bridge and called his name out, but never got a response. He could smell blood nearby. The ranger ran down the alley, then suddenly stopped. What Sky saw nearly made him vomit: a broken morpher lying in a puddle of blood.
A/N: Sorry for not updating sooner. If you have read some of my recently updated fics, you would notice that they are lacking an author's note. I am trying to get all of them updated and completed by the end of this month or before I go on vacation. Hope you liked this chapter! R&R!
