AN: We take a slight break from the brothers to fill you in on what's happening else where
Jinx watched the general stare at the photo of America's current most wanted criminals.
"There is no doubt of it Jinx," Hawk said, laying the photo down on his desk. "It is Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow in the photo but I have no idea who the other one is."
"Sir, before he left, Snake Eyes said he was going on a top classified mission. I was wondering if you could tell me where he was sent."
Hawk shook his head. "I don't know what you're talking about, Jinx. Snake Eyes requested an indefinite amount of leave in order to attend to some family business. He isn't on a G.I. Joe sanctioned mission. Snake Eyes is on his own and that family business is obviously dealing with Storm Shadow and this other unknown ninja who were going to rob a bank."
"Do you think Snake Eyes found out cobra was sending those two ninjas to rob banks?" Jinx asked, now more disturbed than ever.
"I don't know Jinx, our own intelligence hasn't picked up anything of the kind. Perhaps this is something different. I notified the government that Snake Eyes is one of ours and I listed him as being undercover. Hopefully the agents will keep that in mind the next time they spot Snake Eyes."
Jinx smiled, "They won't find Snake Eyes, sir. Whenever his cover is blown Snake Eyes always goes to one of three places to lay low before venturing out again. I request permission to take Kamakura and Tiger Claw to check those places."
"You don't think Snake Eyes will be able to come back here on his own?"
"No sir, I don't."
"You have my permission then, Jinx. Bring him home."
Jinx saluted and quit the office. She was not surprised to find Kamakura and Tiger Claw already packed and so, once she was packed, the three of them left the G.I. Joe base to find their wayward sensei.
Cobra Commander stared at Destro who had just brought him the latest intelligence report. "Snake Eyes has been listed as being undercover? Ha! Obviously a ruse by G.I. Joe to fool their own government. Have you narrowed down the area where these three are?"
"Assuming the other two have stayed with Storm Shadow we have but it will take some time to pinpoint the exact location as Storm Shadow managed somehow to scramble his tracking device."
"I'm not interested in excuses! Get troops on the ground at once so that when you do find Storm Shadow's location they will be able to close in on him."
"Right away, Commander."
When Destro left Mindbender stepped forward. "Will we capturing Storm Shadow alive, sir?"
"Of course we are Mindbender!"
"Ah good, then I will be able to reprogram him."
"Not right away, Mindbender!" Cobra Commander wheeled on the scientist. "Once we have that ninja I want to find out what he was doing! Then I will make him suffer and wish he had never been born. When he's within an inch of his life and has acknowledged my power then, and only then, can you have him for reprogramming!"
"Yes, Cobra Commander," Mindbender bowed and was glad he was not in Storm Shadow's shoes at that moment.
