Well here is ch6...some explanations and stuff...yeah.
"Play back" Nolan said into his H.E.A.D.S.E.T.'s mic. Nolan paid attention to the video currently playing on the H.E.A.D.S.E.T.'s eye piece, a video taken thirty minutes ago, a few minutes before Corey's death.
On the video was from Nolan's perspective. Nolan held the his M.U.M.B.L.E.R. behind Figure's head and then Figure spun around kicking Nolan to the side and landing perfectly on his motor cycle.
"Where have I seen that before?" Nolan mumbled to himself.
"Seen what?" Rack said as he and Ruin walked up behind their leader.
"Video footage" Nolan said as the video cut to static "Play back." The video replayed, showing the same footage as before.
"So…what do we do now?" Ruin asked.
Nolan paused the video and turned to the twins. "Well…I do believe we have a lead" Nolan got up from where he was seated and motioned for the twins to follow.
"What kind of lead boss?" Rack asked.
Nolan waved to William causing the pilot to get up and follow the trio. "The kind where I pray and have to buy tacos" Nolan said as he nodded to Roady, causing the weapons specialist to get up from where he was seated and walk beside William.
"So just us now?" William asked as he rubbed his face.
"Yep, just us...this is a personal Prospector affair." The operatives boarded their S.C.A.M.P.E.R. and blasted off towards Quahog.
"What do you mean he 'blew it up'?" Cree asked the teen.
The teen looked down at the ground ashamed. "You see Cree…the guy kinda…threw a grenade into the truck…I'm lucky enough to be alive" The teen said shaking his head.
"Well at least you made it" Cree droned on "but I want to know…what message exactly?"
"Oh! He said you'll have to decommission him again to stop him" The teen said to the best of his memory.
Cree scratched her hair in thought. She never decommissioned anyone...what did he mean? "Tell me how old this…Figure is?"
"About sixteen Cree" The teen responded.
"Hm…" Cree began to think of the past heads of decommissioning "It can't be Numbuh 86…"
"What can't be Numbuh 86?" The teen asked unable to understand.
"The one responsible for his decommissioning…get Chad here now" Cree commanded "I need him to break our favorite demented brit out of jail."
"Yes ma'am" The teen walked out of the room, leaving Cree to her thoughts. However, unbeknownst to Cree, a miniature listening device hidden on the teen had recorded and transmitted the entire conversation.
"Were the tacos necessary?" Roady asked Nolan as he cleaned his modified S.C.A.M.P.P.
Nolan held the bag of tacos in his left hand and a square wooden box in his right and said: "Of course it was."
"But why did we have to stop by that museum, Numbuh 101 is more of a nerd than Numbuh 332 is" William said over his shoulder as he flew through Quahog's morning skies.
"I've got my reasons."
The S.C.A.M.P.E.R. landed in front of a blue and yellow house. Nolan disembarked from the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. with the tacos and rang the door bell. But to his surprise, a red headed teenage girl answered the door instead of the former cripple.
"Oh…it's you" Merc said disdainfully.
"Yeah, I know, hey is Mario here I need to ask him a few things" Nolan said peering into the house.
"Yes he is." Merc began to glare at Nolan and vice versa.
Nolan soon broke the awkward silence and asked, "Are you going to let me in?"
"Most likely not."
"Hm…so how are the rest of the maniacs?"
"Good…Brawl's Brawl and Garrison still can't shut up."
"Hm…"
"Well this is awkward."
"Yes, yes it is." At that moment Mario walked up behind Merc and put his hand on her shoulder.
"You promised me you wouldn't get into fights with Nolan when you weren't on duty" he scolded.
"Sorry, it's really hard not to when he shot me with Shot's helmet" she reminded Mario as she glared at Nolan.
"When are you going to let that go" Nolan rolled his eyes.
"Besides the usual, I am compelled to ask why you're here." Mario said to his friend as he motioned for him to come in.
"Oh you know, Prospectors, teen with guns, Corey got killed, you know the usual" Nolan narrowed his eyes as he mentioned Corey.
"Oh…god what happened?" Mario's eyes widened as he sat down next to Merc on his couch.
"You know that guy I asked you to look up?" Nolan said avoiding the question.
"Oh, yeah" Mario got up from his seat and took out a piece of paper "Recent reports suggest he just showed up out of the blue, eyewitness reports suggest he spent countless hours planning his moves."
"So you're telling me he's planned everything right from the get-go?" Nolan said while placing the tacos on the table in front of him.
"Possibly yes."
"Great" Nolan muttered to himself as he took out the square box.
"What's that?" Merc asked.
"A recommissioning device, Numbuh 86 had to have one lying around somewhere if she was able to give Sector V their memories back" Nolan said while winding the crank.
"So what are you going to do with that?" Mario asked as he sat back down beside Merc.
"Bring back Numbuh 1772" Nolan said as the device shot out a green beam of energy at Mario, causing the information broker to rise into the air. In a flash of white light, Mario fell back onto his spot on the couch. "Feel better?"
"Did you just seriously shoot me?" Mario asked as he stood up from the couch.
"Yes."
"Then I'm great! I got my memories back and everything!" Mario jumped into the air joyfully.
"Then you must know I brought you back for a reason" Nolan said bringing Mario out of his hype.
"You know, you're a lot more of a downer than when I first met you" Mario deadpanned as he sat back down beside Merc.
"Yeah life sucks but beside the usual I have a few questions that only you can answer" Nolan said while taking a seat across from Mario and Merc.
"What kind of questions?" Mario asked a bit interested.
"This guy 'Figure' said he knew you." At this both Mario and Merc's eyes shot wide open in surprise. "I need to know…do you know who he is."
Mario scratched his head in thought. "Sorry Nolan…but I can't say I know anyone who'd downright kill a person in cold blood."
Nolan got up from his seat and walked over to the piece of paper that Mario had earlier. He read through the eye witness statements and smirked. "Do you know anyone with a name that starts with K?"
"Only about two?"
"And you?" Nolan asked Merc.
"Sorry but the guys I know with a name that starts with K, are science nerds" Merc said opening the taco bag.
"Fine…give me their names" Nolan said to Mario.
Mario shuffled in his seat. "Well…the first guy's name is Kevin Colt…but I highly doubt it's him seeing he's the star football player here in Quahog."
"Who's the other guy then?" Nolan said dead serious.
Mario hesitated for a moment before talking. "His name is Koda…Koda Shrieves…he was a member of Sector Q…Numbuh 134."
"Thanks…that's all I needed for conformation" Nolan said getting up from his seat.
"Conformation…? Wait…you knew?" Mario asked surprised.
"Edward had a video camera on at all times when he went on missions…you could say it was the basis for the H.E.A.D.S.E.T.'s video feature" Nolan said tapping his H.E.A.D.S.E.T. "I studied the videos to use as a training manual, Figure did something that completely caught me off guard…something I saw in one of the videos. Well I'm sure you both need to be alone…I'll be off now."
"Take care of yourself man" Mario said to Nolan as he walked out of the front door, closing it behind him.
"Hey guys!" A prison guard called out to his friend.
"Oh hey Numbuh 38.0" the two guards said as they smiled to their friend.
"I thought you had the afternoon shift?"one of the operatives asked.
"Oh well Numbuh 525 called in sick, something about poison ivy or what not" Numbuh 38.0 said while pretending to scratch himself.
"Hey why don't you go and get us some hot chocolate, it's kinda dangerous guarding Mary here" one of the operatives motioned to the prisoner in the cell.
"Nah man I can handle it" Numbuh 38.0 reassured his friends. Before the operatives could protest, Numbuh 38.0 dropped to the ground, a tranquilizer in the side of his neck.
"You guys are late" one of the operatives said to Chad and the five teens accompanying him.
"Hey shut it we're here now aren't we" Chad walked up to the operatives and looked into the cell "is she ready to go?"
"Yes…she is" Mary said from within her cell.
