Author's note: IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG AND I HAVE NO EXCUSE AND I"M SORRY SO HERE YA GO!
2-16-12
First off, let me say sorry I took too long to get back to this, but there are some things the FBI doesn't let the I.D.C.A. tell other people about... So I can't say anything... Matter of national security... Anyways, long story short, we had to deal with some I.D.C.A. biz in a city that I can't name, and now he guys are gonna have to go back to the ice age until after the movie is out in theaters. They leave in two months, and I don't know what I'll do without Buck for a whole three months! And on top of that, Megan is gonna KILL Diego when she hears he gets a GF in this new movie. And I am gonna KILL Buck if he sees that wretch of a pineapple like he said when he was joking around with me. I know he doesn't mean it, but it still scares me a bit... oh god, I'm losing my mind!
Aside from my insanity (brings back memories, huh?) (First few book titles?), we did get to spend valentines day in LA. We had a day or two left after our time in the unnamed city, so we went riding around in a limo with a few other members of the I.D.C.A. who were from the golden state.
The day Ray told me (Cannot reveal dates, FBI won't let me!) the guys had to leave, I was actually under the assumption that I would have a good day. Nope.
"Hey Asia, come here." Ray motioned for me to follow him into... his locker? It was early, he'd called me there before they turned on the security cameras.
"This better be pretty friggin' important, Ray. Did you set your hair on fire again?" I dragged my feet down the hall towards him.
"Hey, that was one time! And I was a raccoon! It was my tail!" Ray laughed.
"Ya, I remember that, we had to shave it and you got sunburn!" I started laughing.
"...Shut up. Ha, help me with this damn chair, it won't fit!" Ray emphasized by slightly ramming into his locker door in between the words 'won't' and 'fit'.
"Yeah, okay. So, I'm the blonde one?" Ray looked confused. "Use your freaking amulet!" I explained.
"Oh, right, duh." Ray used his necklace (The yellow egg-shaped one) to bend the locker bigger. He wheeled himself in, and I followed. Damn. Ray's locker leads to an I.D.C.A. base!
"Whoa! Holey crap!" I said slightly louder that my 'inside voice'. "Whoa... holey Moses! What is all this?" I gesture to all the lights and buttons and big silver boxes that looked like coffins.
"Well, the lights are for mood enhancement of our scientists. And the buttons do a million different things that I do not remember at this instant. Those metal boxes are why I brought you here. And this-" he stopped this tall kid walking by us "-is Gaylord."
The dude he stopped, smiled, and waved.
"He's our TN."
"TN?" I repeated.
"Top Nerd." Ray explained.
"Raymond." Gaylord smiled at Ray. "And your name is?" he looked at me.
"Asia. But I prefer my alias name, Suzan." I grinned. Gaylord flashed a puzzled look at me.
"Asia, the world's largest continent?" he smiled. "Well Suzan, Raymond, come this way and we will explain our logic and reason in the best way possible." Gaylord motioned for us to follow.
"You pronounced it wrong." Ray said. "My name is spelled R-A-Y-M-O-N. Notice how there is no D, Gay."
"Hm. Well, how do you spell your alias name, Suzy?" Gaylord asked.
"S-U-Z-Y." I answered shortly. "Originally spelled differently, but I tweaked it a bit."
"Ah. Well, you are here regarding your assignment to Ice Age. As you may have herd- get it? Herd? Never mind. As you may have heard, they are making another movie. Our organization, as you know, sends kids and teens of all ages into movies, books, and mini-series'. Now, what happened when you and the herd died together, as you already know, is that they entered our world. See, now that the movies are continuing, it's a good thing they know you're really human, and about all of this, because now we're able to make sure they don't mention you or this or anything else to do with the I.D.C.A. whilst in the movie." I cut Gaylord off right there.
"Wait, wait, wait, stop! Ray told me they would make reproductions of the guys to do the movie!" I said with mounting confusion.
"Well, that's what surprised us. See, they can't do that if they have been in the human world. The principle that Raymon (I pronounced it right!) told you about is temporarily brainwashing the guys into not remembering you, and then when the movie's over, programming memories of you actually being there into their heads. Now, we have the easier option because we can just tell them to keep their mouths closed at all times during that movie." Gaylord looked at the metal coffins, "Turn into a weasel really quick."
"Um, okay?" I used my necklace to turn Back into my Suzy weasel form. "Aw yeah! I missed this spinal structure!" I twisted up. Ray laughed. Gaylord smiled, straitened his tie, and pulled out a small remote control from his lab coat pocket. He pressed a button and opened a silver coffin a few steps away.
"This is where your human body goes when you turn into your alias." Gaylord explained. "This is where the guys' human bodies will be cared for whilst they're gone."
"So when are they leaving?" I asked, "And why does Buck have to go too? He's not even going to be in this movie! I reserched it all week."
"We never know. We must take percautions, just in case. They leave the second of May. So enjaoy your time with them now." Gaylord answered, then smiled, "Don't worry about it Suze, they'll be back when the movie comes out in theaters."
"Okay, cool, nice... is this lighting hurting anybody elses eyes?" I grew tired just standing there, so i asked if we could go, and Ray told me to wait, because he had an important phone call from a movie I'd never heard of.
Ray's phone rang two minutes later, and this is what the conversation was like;
"Hey... Yeah... Yo' punk A$$ pickin' me up? ... Hell no... That's my bitch! Seeya there."
"Pfft, you're such a white boy." i said, rolling my eyes.
"Don't worry about a thing Suze, the guys will come back, probably with a few other friends." Gaylord assured me.
"Yeah, okay, so should I tell them?" I asked.
"Yes, but not right away. Don't stress yourself out, okay?"
"Alright, I'll be okay." then a thought popped into my thinker like a weasel around the mullberry bush! "Wait! When will they be back?"
"July 14th." Gaylord told me, "We would have them back to you the day it comes out, July 13th, but we'll need a day for new-guy orientation. See, it will take a bit to get Shira and Granny and whoever else used to the idea of the human world. Plus, a we'll have to do a mind-helmit session."
"Wait, I'll be in South Carolina then, I have family obligations." I stated worriedly.
"No worries, we'll drop them off there, and when you're done visiting with them, we'll send one of our available informents." Gaylord reassured me.
"OK. One more thing?" Gaylord nodded, "What's the deal with Megan McIntyre? She's in a funk lately and I don't think it has anything to do with her breakup with Diego."
"Oh, we fired her for rude and belidgerant behavior towards other opretives." Gaylord shook his head. "Ah, the doctors said Mikey will never walk again."
"WHAT?!" I yelled.
"Ha! Just kiddin'. She pissed of a few people, including our C.E.O.."
"Thanks for scaring the ever loving shit out of me!" I slugged Gaylord, hard.
"Ouch! Nerds bruis easily!"
We left the minute Ray got off the phone.
2-21
Buck and the gang were pretty upset about having to leave the human world with me and my family, especially Buck. But they were still happy to get back to their roots for a while.
I felt tired all day, weak, decrepit even. It's probably got something to do with the fact that what Gaylord said was buzzing around in my head like an angry bee's nest all night and all day ever since he'd said it! Or maybe it could be that I hadn't eaten a good meal on account of our desperate need to go to the grocery store. We have money, so don't get the wrong idea. It's just that we're busy all the time and don't go too often.
I usually make sure to eat breakfast, but I woke up late and nearly missed the bus for putting on my pants! So I was hungry, big whoop. I made it through the day, but it wasn't easy.
First: English class, all boys, the only two of the gang are Sid and Buck. I had a rough time, all the guys but Sid and Buck are rude and unimaginably sick-minded. Little did they know that my MP3 player wasn't even on when they were saying that stuff. Buck would often snap at them when they'd call me a name, or get all up in my cool-aid, or tell me to buzz off their conversation. And today, it helped.
"Ah, what? I gotta sit by China?" Adrian (Short Adrian) complained. We were all getting new seats and everybody had to be in completely different spots.
"Back off." Buck warned. Man, he sure could look angry and mean if he wanted to.
"Adrian, back off. And if you'd like to switch, you can sit where Barrette is." Mrs. Dwyer (We call her Mrs. Tibo on account of a joke somebody told) chimed in. She's always nice like that.
"Nah, he'd like that too much. They're dating!" Grow up or grow a pair would ya?
"I am warning you to back off." Buck reiterated, man he was mad.
"What are you gonna do? You wanna fight about it?"
"Adrian, I'm about ready to send you to the office. Switch with Barrette." Mrs. Dwyer insisted.
Buck and Adrian switched, and as they crossed paths Adrian murmured, "It's okay, the girl's a know it all anyhow." oh no, that sooo hurts my feelings.
Next: Skip a few, forth period and art. Art would be an awesome class if I didn't have to sit next to the stink-faced Missy. She's always acting like she's the boss of everybody, and I hate her! Anyways, it's good though, because I have this class with Diego, Crash, and Eddie.
So we were all making these mosaic thingies, and the boys (Crash and Eddie) sit next to me, along with Diego, so I got to see what they were making.
Crash's was and explosion, a big mushroom cloud. It looked pretty good, too. Eddie's was different, it was a tropical Island with palm trees and stuff. Diego's was huge, gigantic, man. It was a flower, a red rose with a dark green stem and a blue sky background. Mine was a B+A inside a heart with red letters and a yellow background.
After school, Ray told me to report to the base with all the guys present. Gaylord had something to show us, and we needed to be there on time. He said something about orientation, lessons the guys needed to learn, and how we needed to decommission a few of my retired friends. Cassie, Tina, and Megan M all needed to have their memories wiped so that they didn't remember their work as I.D.C.A. agents.
They did of course remember the guys this past few months, though. It's like he filtered their brains of all I.D.C.A. related biz. For example, Megan does remember being Diego's GF, but she just thinks he's another guy on her PEOPLE TO KILL list hanging in her bedroom next to that lye and spheres. * Shiver *
"So why are we here again?" Cassie asked, shoving her hands in her pockets.
"Yeah Ray! Why are we here?" Peaches asked excitedly. By the tone in her voice, you could tell she was picking up on her uncles' antics and personality.
"Well, you, your mom and dad, and your uncles are here for a little lesson on how to behave while you're in the ice age for a little while. And Cassie, Tina, and Megan are here for a little... treatment." Ray explained. The girls didn't know the were here to have there memories erased, but he obviously didn't feel too bad about it.
"Treatment?" Meagan scoffed, "What are you gonna do, give us a pink slip?"
"I'll get Mikey." Ray wheeled himself into a room, and came out with three tall, scary-lookin' kids. Two of them were boys, and one was a girl. They were dressed in black suits with name tags saying SECURITY on them.
"Who are these clowns?" Megan growled.
"In case you get any ideas about hurting any of us." Ray answered, gaining a very un-Ray serious face.
Megan kicked Ray in the, uh... and got all red faced. The two dudes held her arms down while the girl handcuffed her.
"Does the word 'paralyzed' mean anything to you? How about 'numb nuts'?" Ray grinned, but immediately regained his not-Raymon look. "You three are here for your final session with the mind-helmets."
"Hey! Look! It's Gaylord!" I announced, "Guys, let's go meet him. Cassie, Tina, Megan... stay with these guys!" I grabbed peaches by the hand and lead her to the silver boxes, where Gaylord was writing on his clipboard.
"Suzy! How's my favorite agent?" Gaylord welcomed me with open arms.
I gave him a quick arm-around-shoulder, then introduced him to the guys.
"Gaylord, this is Manny, Ellie, Peaches, Crash, Eddie, Diego, Sid, and Buck." I looked slightly up at Buck, who was a little taller than me, and smiled. "Guys, this is Gay... lord! Gay-lord, sorry." I reddened.
Gaylord chuckled, "You crack me up, Suze." he grinned, "So I heard through a little bird that you two tied the knot? That must be why she was so distraught the other day." Damn you Gay!
We didn't know what to say to that. So we just followed Gay into a room with an over-head projector. There he ran us through some stuff about how they weren't allowed to even say my name while they were in the ice age, or let on that they knew me, or do anything else to make the public suspicious.
"Also," Ray chimed in, "When you get back, you may have some people coming back with you, so we'll have to keep them here for a day."
"Yes Ray, I was getting to that." Gay said irritably. "and when they are dropped off, Suzan, just tell your relatives or whoever that they need to stay over for a while, I'm sure you'll figure it all out the week of."
After a little more lecturing (I didn't pay attention) we left to go back home.
2-25
"Ra-ay!" I whined, "What the fuck? You said Saturday was my day off."
"What did you have to do today?" Ray chuckled, leading me into another portal to an I.D.C.A. base.
"I had a few previous engagements." I muttered.
"OK. We'll be done soon. Just get the guys here, we need to go through some combat training for when they go back to the ice age."
"Okay, but I get to beat up the dummy with your face on it." I teased.
"Ouch, that stung." Ray laughed.
"When exactly are they leaving again?" I asked, "I want to be ready, you know, so I don't get all bummed."
"Sorry, can't tell you the exact date or time."
"Ah, what? Why not?" I whined.
"The boss 'll get pissed." Ray said, "They think when this kind of situation happens, people will skip town with the characters like Lenny did with the cat in the hat." He shivered, "Why we recruited him in the first place is beyond me."
"Gross. Anyways, you know I won't do that dude!" I argued. "Come on Ray!"
"Sorry, I can't." Ray reiterated. "Cat. In. The. Hat!"
"Okay, okay, god." I said, disappointed.
"Bring them here, we'll get started and-" Rays phone rang. "Hello? …Damn it! What happened? …Fuck! Why?! …Who? …how many times does he have to die before he's dead?! … Son of a bitch, I'm on my way …You do realize I have their agent, who happens to be married to one of them right next to me! She'll cripple me worse! ...Bye."
"What. The. Heck?"
"Soto's back."
"What?! How many times does he have to be killed?!" I yelled.
"He's in the human world, and he has the guys held captive!"
"Shit!"
"I know!"
"Let's go get 'm!" I started to transport myself, but Ray stopped me. "Dude, what the hell?!" I could feel my face getting redder.
"We can't just show up! He's holding them at knife point!" Ray said. And you don't even know where they are!"
I was terrified, "What do we do? I'll kill him!"
"Not yet! Not yet. We have to be smart about this."
"To hell with being smart! Nobody messes with my herd, my husband, and my job without getting blood on the carpet!" I was seeing red again. First time in a while.
"Save your unbridled rage for when we're actually killing him!"
"I'll snap his neck... Rip his limbs off and burn his torso... Feed his organs to a shark and tell him it's chicken..." I was saying under my breath. "Scar-up his face worse... Neuter him with a rusty spoon..."
"Damn it, you're demented. We should have sent you into Scream instead."
"Call it protective." I growled. "Now where do I find the spoon and the dude?"
"You know, I'm glad I'm crippled. So now if I piss you off it won't make any difference." Ray stated, using his PDA for some reason.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Looking to see witch base we go to next. You know, without cussing anybody else out... in front of you anyways."
"Just get us there please? I want to save them and kill Soto with my bear hands... and maybe a spoon."
"Ouch. Yeah, we have to go to the base in NYC. He's got them in the basement of a delly shop in Queens." he explained. "See, the dudes up at HQ think we should have it clean and blood-free... not gonna happen."
"Not while I'm around it's not." I grumbled. "How do we know what he's doing?"
"We have cameras everywhere Asia... Everywhere."
"Whoa... that's the last time I change clothes." I snickered. "Let's go before my mood sours."
*LINE*
"This is the control room." Ray said. "Here we can see what's going on anywhere in the world, at any time."
"Even The Lake of Enchantment? A thousand some years ago?" I blushed hard and gulped, "Because if so, Peaches can't see that footage! Or you! Or anybody else!"
"Okay, I won't even ask... or look at that video, god willing." he shivered again.
"...Shut up." I said lamely. I caught myself before I dissed him about anything big, or small for that matter. "Show me the damn footage already!" I just exploded. "For all we know they could be dead!"
"Shut up!" Ray exploded. "My god, pull yourself together! They're OK! Tell 'er Rachel!" He gestured to the brunette in a rolling chair across the room.
"Stop yelling at me!" I yelled. "And why is nobody staring?!"
"Shut up! They're used to this! How do you think Lenny reacted when he found out he had to be decommissioned?!"
I ran across the room to where "Rachel" was.
"Rachel, please show me the live footage, and just to warn you, I may need to hit something." I said calmly, pulling nervously at my braids. "I'm sorry we met under these kinds of- OH MY GOD!" the live footage showed Soto, a blonde sixteen or seventeen year old, holding a knife up to Peaches' neck, she was crying.
The others were all tied up around the tiny basement. Buck, Diego, and
"Shut up!" Soto yelled at her. "Hush now little one," He stroked her hair. "Your auntie Suzan is watching." He stood up, grinned and tilted his head towards the camera. Then waved.
"Shit!" Rachel pulled out a walky-talky out of her pocket. "Cover blown! Cover blown! We need to get them out of there now!"
"He knows!" Ray shouted to a boy across the room, who commanded all units to respond into his walky-talky.
"What's going on?!" I finally yelled.
"Soto's gone bananas!" Ray yelled back, pressing buttons on a keyboard.
"No shit captain!" I looked back at the monitor. The guys in camouflage jumpsuits were in there. Holding guns aimed at Soto, who was holding Peaches to his chest, the coward, with the same knife back at her neck. "Crap!"
I transported myself that second. I heard Ray cursing and yelling something about me being behind him. I didn't know what he meant, but I made myself invisible on the way, just to be safe. Once I got there, I was actually worried I would be seen. Then I remembered I was invisible. I was behind Soto, and he still had Peaches in his grip. I was angry but I tried to stay calm, so not to distract anybody.
Quietly, I picked up a rusty pipe out of the corner... lifted it above my head... and bashed Soto in the melon! "Go to hell you undying bastard!" then I made myself visible again.
All jaws were dropped at the girl in piggy-tail braids and a pink bath robe, come to save the day! Uh, yeah... did I mention I was wearing my PJ's?
"Suzy cue!" Buck shouted.
"Is she an agent?" One kid asked.
"No, I'm Abe Lincoln- yes I'm an agent!" I rushed to see if Peaches was okay, she was. I wish I could say the same for Diego. It seems that on the way down, Soto stabbed Diego on the shoulder. The cut was deep, but not so much that he could bleed out.
"We need medics here, and we need 'm here yesterday!" Rays voice. He stormed in on a ramp they'd set up on the stairs for him. "What is is wrong with you, Suzan?!" He must not have been that mad, because he called me by my alias name.
"Hey, I killed him!" I said irritably. "I saved Peaches, too, damn it!"
"And you got Diego stabbed!" Ray rolled over to me and leaned in closer, whispering, "Really, good job though." He smiled.
"Thanks." I whispered, also smiling a little, and untying Buck. "Oh, baby are you okay?" I asked, "Are you all okay?"
"No!" Diego coughed, "Is he dead yet?!" his face was tear-stained. All of their faces were.
"I killed him." I answered in a soothing voice, despite the nature of our situation.
"Then in the mental sense, I'm okay. But I still need a hospital."
"Where's that medic?" From Ray.
"It's coming! Get him on the gurney!" Another camo-kid yelled back.
"Daddy!" Peaches ran over to the corner of the room where her parents were tied up. "Mommy!"
"Wait a second." I looked around the room. There was Manny, Ellie, Peaches, Buck, the twins (tied back-to-back), Diego (Hurt), but... "Where's Sid?"
"Lenny." Ray said under his breath.
2-25 Continued!
I went white as a sheet of printer paper, and I felt like somebody had hit me in the gut with a steel pipe. "Lenny? Cat in the hat, Lenny?" Both of us shivered.
"Yes!" A holograph popped up like a weasel in the middle of the room, a kid with a huge forehead and bulgy eyes was in the middle of it. "I thought you might try to stop me. Kill Soto. What a shame." He cackled.
"Lenard." Ray got that un-Ray face again. I was still huddled next to Buck on the ground. "Where. Is. Sid?"
"Heck if I'll tell you." he grinned again. "But I'll give you a clue. For the Lady." he was grinning my way. "Here it is."
Lenny aimed the camera, or whatever, at Sid, who was tied up in the corner, gagged with a red bandanna. He yelled, or, tried to yell, but we couldn't hear him.
"Piss off, you perverted freak! I'll neuter you with a rusty spoon you sick bastard!" I yelled. Lenny flinched and gasped at my not-so-lady-like language. "Sid, hold on, we'll get you!"
"You can't kill me." Lenny sneered. "I still have this pretty little trinket here." He showed us what looked like a power ring.
"You evil, sick, horrible..." Ray let out an irritated grunt. "Using the necklace to make a power ring, fiend!"
"That is correct, and you'll never decommission me!" He did that gay-ass finger wiggle thing, and smiled. "Tootles." the holograph disappeared.
"Do I have to murder two people in the same day?!" I groaned.
"If you want to, ain't no one gonna come lookin' for him. He's an orphan and a sick-minded creep... Cat in the hat!" Some other kid, I think the one who asked the dumb question (I really wasn't paying too much attention) (Too focused on the guys) said to me, disarming his weapon.
"No, no, no, no, no... NO!" Ray exclaimed, "He mentioned the trinket, that probably means it's rigged!"
"Right." I answered. "Guys, you need to get to the hospital. I'm going to help Ray get Sid."
"No, no, no. I need to go with you." Buck insisted.
"No, you need to take your medication." Ray quipped.
"Hey, I'm not that insane anymore!" Buck shouted. "I'd make up some sappy story but right now I just want you to shut up!" the room grew quiet.
"While I respect you for standing up to me, I hate you. Now go with these guys to
the hospital if you want Sid to live, k?" Ray shot back.
"Boys, stop it before I shut ya both up!" I shouted. The room erupted with people talking to one another, trying to get the guys outside, etc.
But Buck wasn't having it. "No, Suzan needs me."
"Buck, honey, the herd needs you more." I answered, then gave him a little kiss and demanded that he go with those guys to the hospital.
"Okay, okay. You win Suzy cue. I love you." Then he followed the rest out.
Once the room was clear, I said, "I love you too."
"Come on, we have to get Sid!" Ray yelled at me, gesturing to the portal he'd just made. "We have no time to-"
"What was that?" I interrupted. "What the hell do you mean, "While I respect you, I hate you"? Huh? If you don't like Buck, then deal with it!" I walked -stomped- through the portal to yet another place I was embarrassed to be wearing my pajamas in. so I used my amulet to change into some kind of, Indiana Jones meets Jack Sparrow girl outfit.
"We need to find where Lenny is, quickly."
"No shit?" I said, irritated that Ray would be stating the obvious now. "And why can't I just go there and hit the bastard over the head with a pipe like I did to Soto?"
"Because, he has a rigged power ring!"
"Maybe it's a trick so he has time to... uh, you know... and escape before we get there!"
"Fine, fine, you risk your life and hit the bastard!"
"Maybe I will! Unlike you I care for my herd!"
"You know what? I did not care for that movie- any of them. It insists upon itself."
"What does that mean?"
"It insists upon itself."
"That's because it has a valid point to make! Family, love, togetherness, trust, overcoming fears, acceptance!"
"That is no valid point."
"Is too."
"That is no valid point."
"It is." I insisted. "Why in god's name are we fighting about this? Come on! We need to get Sid!"
"Well we cannot just kill him." Ray reiterated.
"What can we do?" I quipped, "Shoot the hostages?"
Then he got that Ray look. A look that I felt like I hadn't seen since his epic fail in Walmart that time. "Yes. Yes we will."
"Yup, you're crazy."
*LINE*
"Oh help me!" I called from the end of the hall, lying down with fake blood all over me. "Help! I need help!"
"Holey god!" Lenny cried, "What on god's green earth happened to you m' lady?" Lenny picked me up and carried me down the long, doctor's-office-like hall.
"I was kidnapped." I whispered like I was truly dying.
"Oh dear, we need to get you to my office!" he ran down the hall -scaring me half to death thinking he'd drop me or something- panting, and acting like he would faint. "Oh dear, oh dear."
He kicked open the door to his office, and laid me down on the therapy couch, like in old movies where the lady will look all helpless with her forearm on her forehead.
"Oh, my dear lady, I do hope you're not bothered by the prisoner in the corner there." he gestured to Sid, still bound and gagged.
"Oh my, is he...?"
"Oh no, he's just asleep." He took off his power ring and handed it to me. "Heal yourself m' lady."
I snatched the ring, put it on, and popped him one, right in the kisser! "Go to hell!" he was knocked out. I ran over to where Sid was and shook him awake, "Sid, Sid, it's me, Suzy!"
"Mmm... phm hmmhm..." Sid was still gagged.
"Oh, you poor thing." I took off the bandanna, then took the dirty sock out of his mouth. "Are you alright?"
"Suzy! Oh my god! Thank you!" he gave me a hug so tight I thought he'd literally kill me with his kindness! "Oh my god!"
"Sid... I can't... breathe!" he let me go.
By the end of the day, we were at the hospital for stab wounds and emotional distress, the I.D.C.A. base for decommissioning, and the I.D.C.A. morgue... *Shiver* the bump I put on that kid's head... Anyways, it was all good... in view of the circumstances.
Author's note: I HOPE I DID OKAY!
