Questions and Protection

Syd looked out her car window at all the reporters. Slowly she opened the door and stepped out of the car which caused the reporters to go crazy. They all rushed over to her and began sticking microphones in front of her.

"Miss Drew, that had to have been awful."

"…four of those things attacking you, how did you fight them off?"

"Bet you wished you were still with SPD."

"So is that SPD officer your boyfriend?"

"Is it true that they were after you?"

"Excuse me," Syd looked up and saw Tomas next to her, "Please, that was a hard event to experience, do not force her through it again."

Syd smiled up at Tomas who took her arm and helped her through the reporters. As the two walked away Syd heard pictures being taken and hoped that the headlines weren't going to be as bad as she thought they would be.

Inside Tomas looked at her, "Are you alright?"

"Yes. I'm fine. I'm used to those kinds of reporters."

"I see." He shook his head, "but that does not mean they should pester you."

"Thank you."

"So was it scary?"

"Was what scary?"

"I watched the news last night and I saw that man coming after you."

"It was scary, but it was fine."

"That is because SPD was there, right?"

Syd was surprised, after what Jacob had said she would assume that they all felt that way, "SPD? You were happy they were there?"

"They are—"

But before Tomas was able to finish his answer people whisked the two off to their separate dressing rooms. She couldn't believe; Tomas was opening up and when he did he was pulled away from her. It was completely unbelievable. How was she supposed to find out anything from him if she couldn't spend two minutes alone with him? Maybe she should speed up the media romance thing. After what happened yesterday, she didn't have that much time left.

As she entered her dressing room she saw Martin in there. "Martin, what are you doing?"

"Just the person I wanted to see."

Syd went over and got herself ice cold water, "What is it this time?"

"This morning went so well don't you think. Beautiful actress comes out and is bombarded by reporters who are making her re-live a horrifying experience when her co-star, and perhaps more, appears out of nowhere and pulls her away from them."

"Do you come up with this at random, or is someone writing for you?"

"Syd, please, you and I both know that I have your best interest at heart." He pulled out an electronic device and began punching in buttons. Finally after a few minutes he looked up, "I think the next thing should be in a few days, maybe next week."

"Really? Well I think that Tomas and I should get together as soon as possible."

"Whatever happened to taking it slow?"

"I just mean that we should speed things up as quickly as possible."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, how about tomorrow we end up meeting for dinner?"

"On purpose?"

"Either way, just please. And it has to be a full dinner, no short two minute dinner with everybody staring at us and talking."

"Now Syd,"

"Look Martin, if you want this to work than you need to do it just right. If everyone is around, and I mean everyone it'll just ruin the image. I'm not saying that people can't be close by, they just can't be breathing down out necks."

Syd went over to her closet and began looking at her clothes waiting for Martin to process what she had said. She knew that he would figure it out, even if it took a few minutes.

By the time he said anything Syd had finished looking through her closet, "Well, I'll go see what I can do."

Syd smiled as she watched Martin leave. She just needed some time with Tomas. As of now she had nothing to report to him and…maybe he'd be able to tell her something. She needed some good news.

Sky, Bridge, Devon and Z all stood in the Command Center waiting for Doggie. Finally he and Kat entered the Command Center.

"Sir," The rangers saluted Doggie before Sky continued, "As of yet we haven't find any connections with any of the humans or aliens."

Doggie looked over at Kat who nodded and stepped forward, "Rangers I have added a new feature to your suits." She typed a bunch of codes and the red ranger suit appeared above the consul. She typed in another few codes and a very faint line traced the whole suit. "I have put some material that will reject the virus, so if you're out fighting there will be less likely of a chance of being infected."

"But there's still a chance?" Z asked.

Kat looked over at Doggie and then nodded, "We're not sure how likely, because, we can't study the virus anymore."

Bridge looked over at Sky before turning back to the scientist, "Why not? What happened?"

"After the last victim died, the virus slowly died. I think it might need contact with something alive in order for it to continue."

"Did you find out anything from the virus?" Devon asked.

"It's nothing that we've seen before. I think it might be a bunch of different viruses put together; but not all from earth."

"Why do you say that?" Sky asked.

"Because there were different parts that have been seen with other viruses, but even those weren't from just one planet."

"So they took some viruses and merged them together?" Devon asked.

"It appears they did." Doggie said looking at the rangers. "This is why you must be careful. If anything is being shot, we have to be extra careful."

All the rangers nodded.

"And don't forget, we're not sure how safe the suits are, so don't assume anything." Kat put it looking at the rangers in concern.

"Understood," Sky stood tall before the Commander.

After the two shared a look Doggie dismissed them. Once the rangers left Kat looked to Doggie, "I would hate if anything happened to them."

"Kat, we can't look at just that. Right now it's an isolated event. Let's hope it remains that way."

And with that Doggie walked over to his post letting Kat know the conversation was over for now.
