Jake was in the room he woke up in that morning going through the crate that he got the lab assistants to bring back from the crash site. Inside it there were weapons both hand-held and automatic, magazines for the guns, a gun belt, a long combat knife, a GPS, survival kit, a field surgeon's pack, radio equipment and a resin coloured stone. The door then opened behind him.
"Hi Megumi."
"How did you know it was me?"
"You're wearing your favourite Wumpa Fruits perfume."
"So you getting used to your new senses then?"
"Well I was told that I had very good senses anyway."
"So what's all this stuff for?" She asked looking at the crate.
"Oh it's just the stuff I use for work."
"What kind of work requires this kind of stuff?"
"The kind that you're better off not knowing about."
"What are you anyway? Some sort of government agent or soldier?"
"Working for the government is just one of the things I do."
"Were you sent to find the Wumpa Islands?"
"I've been searching for the islands for years, that's why I carry around this special quartz crystal," Jake pulled the crystal out of his shorts pocket and showed it to her. "It was what got me struck by lightning, seems useless now. It's my job to investigate unusual events around the world, I used this crystal in case any one of them got me close to the Wumpa Islands and it finally paid off."
"Why have you been trying to find the Wumpa Islands?"
"I believe this is where I was born and coming here will help me remember more of my past especially my family. So do you know where the braii is?"
"Braii?"
"Sorry, I remember growing up in South Africa, it's what they call a Barbeque."
"Oh right, I actually came down here to tell you it's at Pinstripe's mansion soon and if you wanted to come with me?"
"Sure, I'll just finish up here then I'll catch up with you soon."
"Ok." Megumi then left the room. Jake put on a webbing belt he got from the crate and holstered the combat knife to it. He took the resin stone from its cushioned casing then left the room for the barbeque.
