We rode back to Rhodes as fast as we could. I told the others what was happening and that X had somehow found out where Rhodes was and was probably searching the place for the codes. Once we got there, we parked our motorcycles by the garage.

"Now first of all we have to be extremely quiet," I whispered to the others, "Secondly, he's probably armed so we have to get our weapons from the garage as quickly as possible, then we gotta search the place for him. If you find him don't be afraid to engage him. He'll probably shoot you when he sees you so we have to shoot him even though it's in our place."

"What if he's booby trapped the place?" Steve asked as his normal worried personality kicked in.

"I don't think he would do that here," Jess replied, "He didn't booby trap his place when he knew we were coming so I don't think he'd do that to ours."

"Thats true." Steve replied calming down. Jess always had a knack for calming him down when he was worried, which he admired about her. No matter how bad the situation was, she was always able to put a smile on his face.

"So are you guys ready?" I asked.

"Ready." They replied.

"Ok then, let's do this." I said while trying to open the garage door slowly and quietly. Unfortunately, the door made a loud screeching noise when I opened it.

"Dang it! Why did that have to do that now out of all times? So much for being secret. That was so loud, X had to hear that." I thought while sighing.

"There goes our cover." Billy said.

"Oh well, get to the weapons, quickly!" Jack said with his usual determination in him.

We ran to the shelf where our weapons are and when we got there, they were gone!

"Oh this is just great!" Billy said with his normal sarcasm hanging deep in his voice. "Now what are we gunna do?"

"We don't have time to dwell on that! We'll be sitting ducks if we don't move!" I yelled out.

"But if we don't have anything to defend ourselves with, then we're dead!" Billy replied.

"There's still some guns and equipment in the van from before!" Steve said.

"Then hurry and get them!" I replied.

We got out the remaining weapons and equipment but the only guns left were just the M9 pistols, but since it was the only things, we picked them up and took them without a second thought. There were a couple stun and flash grenades left so we also picked those up.

"That's all of it." Billy said.

"We'll have to make due on what we have for right now, but right now our main goal is to find X and stay alive." I replied.

"Wait, don't you think he would've already gotten to us by now?" Steve asked worriedly. Everyone paused and looked at each other. They were all thinking the same thing too.

"Yea he would." replied Billy.

"Then why didn't he?" asked Steve.

"I really don't know." Jack replied.

"I want to say something that would calm everyone down, but right now I'm just as worried as everyone else and I can't even calm myself down." Jess thought. In reality, she was just as scared as everyone else. Because she was scared, she subconsciously moved closer to Steve so that she was brushing up against him. Steve seemed to calm down at this and smiled.

"Come on. We have to find X wherever he is." I said. Steve sighed as we started to move not wanting that moment to go.

But as soon as we walked out of the room, sleeping gas rose from trigger sensors on the ground and we were all knocked out from the gas. As soon as we hit the ground, X came out from the shadows and walked towards us.
