The plans were sent. He was happy. Kevin sat within his office. He was pretty much alone except for Odin. Kevin watched Odin stand awkwardly near his desk. He suppressed a laugh. Odin was a recently employed employee. Odin did not know everything that went on and Kevin was fine with that.
"What's wrong Odin?" asked Kevin.
Odin looked up at Kevin and gulped. "I-I don't think." Odin paused, careful to pick the correct words. "I don't think that you should be alone."
"Why not?" Kevin challenged him. "Do you not trust me anymore?"
Odin shook his head quickly. "No, it's not that at all! I trust you Mr. Winters. It-It's just that Storm woman is out to murder you. Aren't you a little afraid of being alone when she is out there?"
Kevin smiled slyly. "You're a smart man, Odin. A sensible man at best." Kevin looked down at his desk. "Do not overlook the obvious. You know only so little about the projects I lead. The prizes I am awarded with."
"So you're not afraid?" asked Odin.
"Not at all. I have nothing to be afraid of. You are dismissed," replied Kevin.
Odin nodded and silently left Kevin's office. Kevin sat in total silence. He heard movement above him, but did not stir. A total moron. I dropped down from the ceiling and landed gracefully before Kevin's desk. He didn't seem surprised at all to see me. Again, a moron.
I stared at Kevin as I closed the space between him and I. "You're an idiot Winters."
"Why do you sat that Miss. Storm?" asked Kevin?
I heard a bit of authority in his voice. "I'm out to kill you and you send your only protection as far away as possible." I smirked. "What are you hiding?"
Kevin sat back in his chair. "I know your family quite well, Miss. Storm. If you came to kill me you would have already done it. Yet here you are…talking to me." Kevin paused. "You've been gone for three weeks. Abnormal for someone like you."
I pulled out the chemical formulas and threw it on his desk. His eyes flickered with amazement. "Your chemical. I read all of it. What the hell did you create?"
Kevin glanced at the paper with his drawings on it. "A very powerful weapon. The chemical you stole is called OTHER."
"What is it!" I demanded. I was in no mood for games.
"A weapon of mass destruction. OTHER was designed to be a great military weapon. Once consumed the soldier would receive incredible strengths. Senses would be heightened beyond human belief and death would not be as common…unless you were the other party," explained Kevin. Even with me there, Kevin seemed calm. Like I was nothing but a fly!
I kept my ears open, not wanting to have anymore run-ins with the government. "It seems that you have everything planned out."
"Oh but I did! OTHER was perfect! Well in theory it was. All that was left were the tests. My partner took a sample and left to test it," Kevin paused. "It was not one hundred percent effective. Our first rat died on us very quickly. It wasn't until just recently when I saw the effectiveness of OTHER. The second rat was living and evolving. OTHER was working…is working."
I shook my head, confused. "Your chemical isn't worth anything to us. We have all the weapons we need. What aren't you telling me?"
Kevin smirked. It sent chills down my spine. "I've told you everything. Maybe you haven't been told the whole story."
I angrily glared at Kevin. "The people I trust do not betray me!" I thought of something. "Who was your partner?"
Kevin suddenly pressed the security button underneath his desk. I heard him and tensed. He sat up straight while looking at me. "You have your chance, Miss. Storm."
I slammed my hands down on his desk, making the entire desk jump. "Who's your partner! Tell me!" I got no answer from Kevin as his office door opened and two armed guards ran into his office. I spun to face the guards. "Leave!"
The guards ran towards me. I angrily sighed. I had to leave. I would have to get my answer from Kevin another time. I stood still as I waited for the two guards to close the space between us. I then kneed one of the guards in his private area. He was out quickly after that. I roundhouse kicked the second guard, knocking him unconscious. I looked over my shoulder but Kevin was no longer at his desk. Weird. I grabbed the paper and stuffed it into my coat pocket. I darted out of the room and to a secret exit I spotted on my way in. Luckily those chicks weren't around to get in my way.

Natalie, Alex, and Dylan hurried back to the building where Kevin was inside. When they arrived they saw many security guards running around searching for me. All the guards were carrying loaded guns in case they came across me. Hey I'm that special.
The angels easily got past the security because everyone knew why they were there. They found Kevin standing calmly out of the way and talking to Odin. As the angels approached Kevin, he quickly waved Odin away. Odin left quickly as Kevin faced the angels.
"I say this Storm woman has no faults," greeted Kevin.
"She broke in. Damn," said Dylan looking around at the lobby they were standing in. A sudden thought came to her. "Did she approach you?"
"Yes. Though the security scared her out of my office. Her habits are getting annoying," replied Kevin.
"She knows about the chemical. She ran into us and stole your classified plans about the chemical," replied Natalie as Dylan glanced around the lobby for some unexplainable reason.
Kevin sighed. "Yes I know that. She seemed quite happy about knowing what the chemical she has does." Kevin paused. "She could use it now."
Dylan quickly looked back at Kevin. "Why aren't you dead?" Kevin looked completely shocked by Dylan's absurd question. "Eva Storm is after you because she wants you dead. She's bent on killing you. She has this chance and she uses it to just talk to you?"
"How the hell am I suppose to know what goes through a madwoman's head?!" exclaimed Kevin angrily.
Dylan decided to drop her previous question. "What did she say?"
"That she was happy to know how to use her new weapon. She's planning on doing something horrible. She didn't have much time to talk because that's when my security came and she escaped," answered Kevin. What a jerk! He was lying! And people said I'm evil.
Kevin left the angels to go do something dealing with his work. Yea I'm sure that's a lie too! Wait I know that answer. Oh never mind. The angels watched him leave before looking at each other. Things didn't add up for them. What a shock.
"Okay we cannot protect Winters forever. Eva Storm knows how to get past all the security and the gaps in our plans. She knows what the chemical does and she's planning on using it," said Natalie.
Alex nodded. "We need to stop her for good. End this. We just need to figure out a way to catch her without leaving room for her to escape."
Dylan looked away from the departing Kevin to her friends. "Winters is going on a business trip in two days. If Eva Storm wants Winters dead she'll follow him and attack him when he's not aware. Storm won't be worried about us if she feels safe."
Natalie smiled along with Alex. "So all we need is the moment she's not aware of her surroundings."
"Then we'll attack," finished Alex.

I drove my sleek black motorcycle through town till I came to a lower class section. I slowed down as a few pedestrians crossed the street before me. I watched them and felt a small pang of pity for them. They were all dressed in rags for clothing. It was truly a sad sight to watch. What was even sadder was the fact that I heard people talking about helping these people, but when such help called for work nobody would help. That just infuriated me. Yes I do have a soft side. I just rarely showed it. I sort of left it behind after…after an accident.
I made my way through the forgotten streets of the lower class section. I finally reached my destination: an abandoned three story brick building. I pulled into a driveway and killed the engine. I had my ear buds in my ears and my Ipod was playing.
"But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you"
Outside by Staind. It's creepy how completely correct it was. I just didn't see it at first. I got off my motorcycle and walked up the small pathway that led to the porch. I climbed the three easy steps to the porch and pressed the doorbell. I only had wait a minute before the door opened, fully.
"Archangel…" The man standing at the doorway smiled seeing me. I smiled back. He was older than me by three or four years but his knowledge could argue that point. He had locks of curly red hair. His eyes were a brilliant emerald green color. He was wearing a white sweater with tight black pants.
"Hello Logan," I greeted Logan.
Logan stepped aside as I entered his house. He closed the door behind me. His house was huge but very old. One of the many reasons why it was deserted. Logan found the building a couple years ago and called it his home and our place to go if we were ever wounded or sick. Yes that's right, Logan is a doctor. But he likes science so we call him our scientist.
"Why are you here, Archangel?" asked Logan.
I stood inside his large living room and looked at him. "I need your help, Logan."
