Part 8

Kermit arrived in Glenview that night he found Peter's house quickly with his onboard computer's GPS system. "Now to check on my nephew Kermit had found out that was that Matthew Caine was his biological father it was hard for him and he still had trouble taking in the full meaning of his father number 1 still being alive and then the belief that the man that raised him was had no blood ties to him. The way he was treated as a child molded him into the mercenary he was and at heart still is. Having Kwai for a brother was a surreal experience all in itself. Having Peter as a nephew just explained the reason he felt an instant protectiveness the minute he met Peter at Blasdell's house. Blasdell was Peter's foster father. Peter and Kwai had both believed the other had passed on.

As he drove up to Kwai and Peter's home he pinched the bridge of his nose the fates never left these two guys alone. When Peter gave up being a cop for being a priest Kermit lost it a little he was glad the kid didn't listen to him and stay while Kwai walked out of his life again Peter was a great cop he got the job done. Kermit hated to admit it but Peter would probably be dead if he had of stayed a, police officer while Kwai left town. When Kwai was away Peter did things risky things that sometimes got him hurt. The week Peter left the force Kermit kept it too himself but Blasdell's killer surfaced Kermit hunted the man down it was Striker a fellow old time mercenary. Peter was good but no amount of drop kicking and heating up guns would have saved him from Striker.

Kermit stood at their door and as usual he didn't have to knock Peter opened the door as he was raising him arm. "Come on in Kermit"

"Thanks kid" As Kermit enters the house Glenn rises to meet him. "The names Kermit and you are?"

"Glenn"

Getting right to work he shakes Kwai Chang's hand and moves through the house toward the nearest DSL portal setting up his pick up and go office. The office consisted of a laptop with a portable printer. Glenn walked up behind Kermit without looking a rather large gun was pointed in Glenn's face. "Back it up I have a problem with people sneaking up on me it's not polite and it can get you killed." Glenn was not afraid of this man but he walked back to the sofa and took a seat.

Peter walks into the room "so Kermit you got anything I may have missed."

"Right now I need info that's not on this computer. Glenn some how I think you would know what I need to know."

"I'm no psychic, man just spit it out." Glenn's tone was rough.

"Mark is in fact your half brother Yes or no?"

"Yes but what dose that has to do with this Xia bitch"

Kermit typed something into his document.' Has Mark ever did anything that was not in the script any unexplained phenomena."

"What do you mean?"

"Any electrical mishaps, a stunt fail but he pull it off."

Glenn was getting edgy wondering what this line of questioning had to do with getting his brother back. "Yes"

"Care to enlighten us? Or shall we continue this stale mate? I'm here to help you find your brother and nail Xia to the wall. Right now all I have on him is storyline & hyped up comments by fans I am trying to figure if any of this crap is the genuine article"

Kwai Chang reenters the room he sits in lotus position on a pallid on the floor over looking his garden

"Oh you mean have I ever seen him spit fire light up a room without the use of the props lift someone without touching them summon electric charge and strike it at someone. Or do you mean seeing him almost lose himself to that power. Sorry buddy but he gave that creepy shit up it began to cause him too much pain. Now he just goes along with storyline and since computers are so advanced now, he doesn't have to summon his own powers."

"The powers are not his." Kwai Chang cut in he sighs "The power you describe he was born with it.?"

"NO "Glen was now on the defensive he didn't want this to turn into some damn witch hunt.

Kermit just kept typing. "Do you contain any of the powers you just told us about?"

"Yeah I posses the power of fire want to see?." Glenn's eyes were now filled with anger how could he be so damn gullible he should do this alone it was his brother he had to leave

Kwai gets up and stands near Glenn "you possess the power of the flame"

Glenn's whole body glows with an ere red light in an inhuman voice that sounds more like a thunderous storm than a seven foot man he says "I am the lord of fire"

Kermit's eyes never leaving his computer "it's getting a little stuffy in here tell me you guys have central air."

"Central Air" Caine leans his head to one side with a bewildered look on his face.

Glenn runs from the house straight through the wall he leaves a ring of fire on the wall Kwai Chang Caine quickly uses his power to put the fire out as if it were a candle instead of a seven foot body print of fire on the wall.

Peter was in aw "Wow Kane can really do that"

Both Kermit and Kwai Chang Caine look at Peter as if he has a few screws loose. "What I'm a fan I didn't believe he could do now I know he can."

"If his brother is as powerful as Glenn describes then Peter your Undertaker is in grave danger. Xia will feed on his power she may have already. "

"We got to find Glenn he can't run around like that he's dangerous to himself and to this community"

Mark was riding toward his house when he was cut off suddenly by two vehicles a large green corvette then a smaller blue sports car. Now he was pissed he just moved here so he didn't know anyone on this block but it was supposed to be a good neighborhood. "Good neighborhood my ass these boys gonna learn so respect tonight."

Kermit and Peter went in search for Glenn Kermit swung out of Peter's drive way nearly clipping a biker. "Shit" He looks in his review mirror and Peter nearly dose the same thing. Kermit chirps Peter on his cell "Pete this ain't follow the leader slow down we almost committed vehicular homicide." With that said Kermit drives down the street.

Peter noticed the biker "Holy Shit its Mark" he chirped back to Kermit to pull over.

Mark gets off his big black skull covered Titan bike with one sweeping motion. He stalks to Peter's car. "What's your problem boy you lost your damn mind. You ever try something like that again and I'll kick your ass. I'm debating on whether I still should. Mark grabs Peter out of the car and slings him to the ground about to kick the living shit out of him. Peter defends himself but doesn't launch an attack..

Kermit gets out of his car Mark advances on him leaving Peter to lay on the ground and catch his breath.. . "You started this shit I'm in a real foul mood right now boy my advice to you is get back into yo sprite can and just drive away..

"I don't think so" Kermit went to pull his desert eagle Mark grabs the gun and slings it to the street with one hand while holding Kermit up by his neck in perfect choke slam formation with the other hand.

"I don't like you, I don't respect you and I sure as hell don't fear you. But you will respect me." Mark through Kermit over his large green Kermitmobile . Kermit lands in a heap on the curb.

Peter sees Kermit getting to his feet armed once again Peter gets off the ground r and runs for Mark. "Don't shoot Please Kermit this is Mark Glenn's brother."

Mark turns around just in time to get taken to ground by a flying Peter. Kermit drops his gun to his side picks up the one that Mark through in the street and put them both in his car. Peter jumps up and off of Mark who is dazed. Suddenly Mark jumps to his feet from a laying position. "What the hell is going on here? How do you know my brother?"

"Mark just calm down I don't know if you'll remember me but, it's me Peter Caine from Pine Ridge Orphanage…."Peter rambles on introducing Kermit.
