Damn, this took longer than I expected. I guess I got lazy during my vacation. Oh, well, it happens. This may be the last chapter, or there may be one more. It depends on how things go. The good news is that my mom is recovering nicely and may even be able to go back to work soon.
To be honest, the main reason this took so long was that I was undecided on a few plot points. Now that I've finally made up my mind, I can simply get on with it.
This prank is over a telegraph because the Simpsons are forced to live like it is 1895. For some reason Moe has a telegraph in his tavern
Moe: Telegram for Heywood U. Kuddulmee! Heywood U. Kuddulmee? Big guy in the back, "Hey, would you cuddle me"? Big guy stares at Moe. Lenny and Carl laugh
Moe: Oh, do, that little, ooh...to telegraph I'm gonna drive a golden spike where your Union meets your Central Pacific, jackass!
Bart: Laughs
"We're finally here; we've wasted enough time." Vlad snarled, finally arriving at Amity Park with the Fright Knight. "I suppose I shouldn't have taken a detour to pry information out of Harrigan. He turned out to be useless."
"Let's be careful." Fright Knight warned as he flew alongside. "We aren't exactly being subtle and everyone knows who you are. I highly doubt they will react well to your presence."
"True," Vlad conceded. He turned invisible, Fright Knight following his lead. They flew for a few minutes before hearing distant sounds. "That must be their main nest. We've got those fuckers now."
"We can't leave any of them leave. Even if one escapes, we are in a great deal of trouble. Let's not forget the eggs; if some foolish human wanders near them…"
"Yes, I know all of that already. Just fly faster." They sped up and looked at the scene. Instead of Xenomorphs, they saw Predators and soldiers fighting among themselves. The Predators had the advantage of strength, technology, and skill, but a few of their number had already fallen. They were outnumbered over a dozen to one and the soldiers had some weapons that could get through their armor.
But Vlad ignored them all. His intention was to wipe out the Xenomorphs, and if the others decided to waste time fighting one another, it was fine with him. He flew through the cave opening, staying invisible and flying through the walls. Fright Knight followed, watching his back. They floated past several cocooned people; Vlad briefly thought about helping them, but saw that chestbursters had already emerged. "Why did they come out of the stomach?" Vlad wondered. "Strange, but it doesn't really matter right now." He saw a slight movement on the cave wall. Vlad immediately fired an ecto-blast, knocking the Xenomorph to the ground. Not wasting time, he finished it with a shot to the head.
"I'm sure this has attracted attention, Vlad." Fright Knight warned. "We don't know how many there are."
"I imagine there are a good amount of them." Vlad replied, stopping. "Do you hear that? It sounds like fighting within the cave. Unless I am much mistaken, it would be Daniel and his friends."
"He has truly progressed if he is still alive after all this time." Fright Knight nodded. "This can work to our advantage. It means we have to deal with fewer of these creatures."
They heard a scream of rage in the distance. Vlad flew towards it, seeing Daniel on his knees. "Daniel, what is it?" Vlad asked with concern.
"Why would you even care, fruitloop?" he snarled. "You'd just say it was my own fault for being weak."
"Daniel, just tell me; I can help you." Vlad encouraged. True, he didn't think he would have much luck, but he did wish to help the boy. I hope I'm wrong about this.
"Do it, Vlad." Tucker panted, trapped against the wall along with Sam. "You've got to kill us."
"We're infected; we don't have much time." Sam agreed. She clenched in pain. "I'm afraid, true, but it has to be done. Do it, Masters!" She closed her eyes and winced in anticipation. Daniel fell, crying his eyes out.
"I'm out of power; I can't help them." He managed to choke out. "I'm sorry I failed you."
"Hmm, I'm sure I can do something for them." Vlad muttered, more to himself than to Danny. "We don't have enough time for surgery, but… wait, why didn't I think of this before?" However, before he could do anything, a Xenomorph jumped him from behind. Vlad quickly kicked him off, but before they knew it, they were surrounded. 4 of them were in front of Sam and Tucker, determined to protect the hosts.
Vlad duplicated into 4, blasting every Xenomorph he could find. Fright Knight went into the action as well, cutting through them with his sword. However, the aliens were tough, and were not easily taken down. Vlad cursed as their acidic blood got on his arm.
2 Vlads conjured swords, while the other duplicate concentrated its energy and launched powerful ecto-blasts towards the Xenomorphs. "Daniel, you can turn them intangible." Vlad exclaimed. "That way, their emergence will not harm your friends."
"I'm out of power, Vlad!" Daniel shouted. "I can't even turn into Phantom now." A Xenomorph jumped towards him, but Vlad put a shield around them, knocking the creature aside.
"Just concentrate, Daniel!" Vlad encouraged. "You have more power than you think." He fired deadly shots at the Xenomorph guarding them, but Vlad knew he could not defeat them quickly enough to save Sam and Tucker. One of them stabbed him through the thigh with its tail. The other three immediately pounced on him, attacking Vlad with their teeth and claws.
With a great effort, Vlad tore himself free. He launched ecto-lightning, finally managing to take one of the creatures down. His chest was bleeding profusely, but he forced himself to ignore the pain. He killed another Xenomorph, but saw that Sam and Tucker had very little time. Putting a shield around them and himself, he turned the duo intangible. Chestbursters jumped through them and ran towards Vlad. With a single shot, he killed them both. Vlad felt his shield break and grabbed the Alien that tried to impale him. He threw it into one of the creatures fighting his duplicate.
"Why did you do that, Vlad?" Danny said in shock. "I thought you would be glad to see them dead."
"Daniel, you have already lost your mother." Vlad replied, dodging more attacks. "Losing your friends as well would lead you down a path I dare not think about; I wouldn't wish such a fate on Jack, much less you."
"Thank you, Vlad."
"Anytime, Daniel; just stay down."
"A little help here, please?" Fright Knight exclaimed. Half a dozen xenomorphs had trapped him on the ground. Even when he turned intangible, he was unable to escape. Rolling his eyes, Vlad blasted a path through them. Fortunately for the Fright Knight, his armor withstood most of their attacks. He struck down another Alien, while Fright Knight flew towards Danny and his friends.
"Get them out of here; I can handle this." Vlad ordered, killing another alien. About 10 were left, but they had learned from their comrades and did not bunch together. Vlad recalled his duplicates and conjured a sword. "Now!" Fright Knight looked as if he was ready to argue, but decided against it. He flew out, taking them along. Vlad grinned to himself. "I'm going to enjoy this."

Umbra threw a Xenomorph into the wall, dearly wishing he still had his plasma caster. He was tiring, but not nearly as much as his human companions. However, the ghosts were still providing stubborn resistance, Skulker and Technus in particular. He saw Derek pull Jazz out of the way of the creature's arms.
Many Xenomorphs had been killed, but more kept showing up. Jack, Jazz, Derek, and Umbra were exhausted, not to mention out of ammo. "Just get out of here!" Skulker demanded. "You aren't going to do any more good!"
"Yeah, you dipsticks!" Ember laughed, strumming her guitar. "These things can't handle me! Sigh, I'll cover your escape."
"I hate to say it, but the ghost is right." Jack sighed. "We aren't going to last much longer." The others followed Jack out of the hive, Umbra keeping a close watch on the humans. After a couple of minutes, they managed to get to the outside. A xenomorph appeared in front of them, hissing. Everyone fired, but they were completely out of ammo.
Just before it pounced, a military vehicle knocked it aside. Umbra wasted no time and stabbed it through the throat. "Come on; get the hell in here!" Dash yelled. "We don't have much time." Still in shock, Jazz, Derek, Jazz, and Valerie climbed in. "Just hold on! We got another stop to make!" Derek called out to Umbra, but he had already disappeared.
It screeched to a halt as they spotted Danny, Sam, and Tucker. Danny helped them in, as they were still weak for the aftereffects on impregnation. It was cramped, but they managed to fit in.
"Got any weapons in this damn thing?" Valerie demanded.
"Just check; I didn't exactly have time to search, okay?" Dash replied.
"Why are you helping us, anyway?" Derek wondered. "This isn't exactly like you."
"I lost Kwan to these fucking things, and I want some payback. If I have to put up with Fen-turd and his geeky friends, I have to. Just don't get used to it!"
"Okay, I found one of the weapons." Valerie grinned. "Now let's see them get me!" As if on cue, 2 runners started chasing the jeep. She fired the weapon, laughing the whole time. One runner was shredded to pieces, while the other abandoned pursuit.
"I hope the others are all right." Sam stated. "I never thought I'd think anything positive of them."
"Look to your left!" Derek screamed. A xenomorph jumped from the tree. Valerie fired the rest of the ammo, wounding it; it hissed angrily, but could not give chase. "Let's see if we have any more ammo in here! Tucker, watch where you put your foot." They took a sharp turn to the left.
"Who taught you how to drive?" Tucker demanded to Dash. They took another sharp turn, driving into the town. It was virtually deserted, save for a few parked cars. More runner started coming towards them.
"How many of these things are there?" Jazz asked, managing to find another gun. Valerie found several clips for her weapon and started firing.
"Look to the left!" Danny screamed.
"Your left or my left?" Valerie asked, struggling to stay in the vehicle when Dash made another sharp turn. The runners kept right after them, although the other Xenomorphs fell behind.
"I don't know; just shoot everybody!" Danny replied. Jack took the gun from Jazz and started firing, not hitting much, but the Xenomorphs dodged to avoid it, allowing Dash to take another turn to get away.
"Where the hell are you going?" Derek wondered.
"There's a military stronghold they're evacuating us to!" Dash replied. "I hope I can find it, though."
"Couldn't you have at least brought a map?" Derek shouted. "Watch out!" Another Xenomorph jumped off a wall and came within a few feet of landing on the vehicle.
"I can't believe the government actually did something smart." Sam's eyes widened in surprise; she still had a hard time believing it.
"There's a first time for everything." Jack replied. "Hey, haven't we already been here?"
"I'm taking what options I have, okay?" Dash replied angrily. They still had about half a dozen Xenomorphs on their tail. "Let's see you try to do better!"
"That doesn't sound too hard." Derek replied. "I'm sure it could be done by, say, anyone with half a brain!"
"Enough, both of you!" Jazz shouted. "We don't have time for this right now."
"Okay, okay, Jasmine." Derek smiled, kissing her lightly on the cheek. Dash swerved into an alley where another Xenomorph was waiting.
"Back up, you idiot! Back up!" Tucker screamed. 3 more were behind them, hissing angrily. "Okay, so much for that."
"All right, we're going through!" Dash exclaimed, gunning the vehicle. Valerie and Jack fired their guns behind them to give some cover. If they were going down, it wouldn't be without a fight.
"Oh, god, we're gonna die!" Tucker managed to gasp out. He ducked, waiting for the inevitable. Derek held onto Jazz, while Jack supported Sam and Valerie. All of them braced for impact, and most likely, an acid bath. The vehicle slammed into the alien, crushing it, but its blood sprayed all over the truck, melting it down. Everyone quickly got off, tripping over each other in their haste to get away.
"Okay, now what do we do?" asked Derek. The Xenomorphs were still coming towards them. Valerie and Jack braced themselves for a fight, but even Dash knew there was no way they were going to get out of this.

"That looks like the last of them." Vlad smirked smugly. He was fairly weak from the fighting, but that did not matter to him at the moment. All that was left was to find the queen.
"Perhaps, but you do not have our loyalty." Skulker exclaimed. "You just about destroyed us all with your little trick. That asteroid would have been an Extinction-Level-Event."
"Enough!' Fright Knight cut in. "The queen is still around and if it is not killed, she will generate thousands more!"
"I hate to say it, but he's right." Ember sighed. "Remember, Vlad: we're keeping a very close watch on you." Before Vlad had a chance to reply, something
sent Ember crashing through the wall. They turned around and saw another Xenomorph, but this one was glowing green.
"It must have been born from another ghost!" Technus shouted. "No matter; it cannot match Technus, lord of all…" He was blasted by a stream of energy that could rival even Vlad's strongest attacks.
"This creature is mine!" Vlad ordered. "The rest of you, find the queen! She is or top priority!" Fright Knight nodded in assent. The others hesitated, but when Skulker's robotic arm was ripped off, they decided to obey. "It's just you and me." Vlad was well aware of how powerful this thing was. Last time, it had taken both him and Daniel to beat it. Nonetheless, he had to hold it off.
Vlad flew out into the open in order to have more room to maneuver. He duplicated into 4, surrounding the Xenomorph on all sides. All of them fired, hitting it. It screeched, but put managed to put up a shield that lasted long enough to escape. It launched ecto-blasts everywhere, forcing the Vlads to scatter.
Okay, he's got a lot of power, but not much in the way of tactics, fortunately. Vlad thought to himself. The xenomorph fired a powerful stream through its tail, destroying one of the duplicates. The other ones fired lightning, piercing through the shield. It screeched in pain and rage, pouncing towards him. Vlad dodged, only to see the alien change course. He screamed as its claws and tongue ravaged his body.
His duplicates launched lightning, diverting his attention. Vlad did his best to heal his injuries, but he was not in top form. "Okay, I can destroy him if I can manage to keep him still, but he's too strong." He mused. "Wait, why didn't I think of this before?" He conjured a sword and rushed towards the alien. He parried attacks from his claws, and dodged his tail.
His duplicates fired token shots, distracting him. Meanwhile, Vlad concentrated as much energy as he could, and waited for the perfect moment. He launched it, scoring a direct hit, but it still was not enough to destroy it. The alien destroyed another one of his duplicates, hissing the entire time. Vlad recalled the last one, not wanting to lose any more energy.
He was forced on the defensive as he had to avoid both ecto-blasts and acid. Vlad cursed to himself, wanting nothing more than revenge. He was in great pain, but he didn't care at the moment. When I'm done with you, I'll kill the queen as well! He flew in, attacking more ruthlessly than ever. Yes, he's on the defensive.
Vlad stabbed it through the throat, keeping his sword there. The Xenomorph pierced him through the stomach with his tail. It thrashed and thrashed, but it finally fell to the ground and did not move again. Screaming, Vlad pulled the tail out of him. He was losing blood, but the ectoplasm in his body was fusing to cauterize the wound. He transformed back to human form and fell to his knees.
"Vlad, the queen is dead." Fright Knight said happily, flying towards him. "We won."
"We really did, didn't we?" Vlad forced himself to get up. "I killed that thing, but my powers are quite drained at the moment. Let's find out what Daniel and the others are up to, shall we?" Fright Knight picked him up and they flew around the city. There was little need to avoid detection, since most people were evacuating. "Man, that must have been a real battle." He saw Predators and soldiers all over the ground, most of them dead.
A couple of hours passed, and they had no luck. They landed in an alley, and decided to rest. "I admit, the queen was strong," Fright Knight informed. "We
almost didn't beat it. Skulker finally managed to paralyze it, and we managed to finish it. The others are still recovering from their wounds."
"Now you can get back to your lives." Vlad sighed. "As for me, however… wait, what's that?" Vlad spotted a trail of blood. Cautiously, he followed it, Fright Knight following. After a few seconds, they found Derek lying there. "Hell of a shame; he reminded me of someone. Don't ask me, all right?"
"Fine, but there's something strange," Fright Knight replied. "Look at him. He doesn't seem to have any wounds at all." Vlad approached and quickly arrived at the same conclusion.
"Okay, I see your point." Vlad agreed. "Now what do we do? We can't leave him here, but neither of us have the strength to take him to Colorado. I suppose we can leave him at Fenton Works, or what's left of it." Fright Knight picked the boy up, and floated a few feet above. After some concentration, he finally managed to turn into Plasmius. They flew off, though far slower than usual.
"This is going to take a long time to clean up." Fright Knight shook his head.
"Not as much as you might think." Vlad replied. "The town has become quite accustomed to this due to the string of ghost attacks, though I will admit it has never been at this scale." They flew through the Ops Center and dropped Derek gently on the couch. "Much as I would love to figure out this mystery, we had better get out of here. We're still weak and I'm a wanted man."
"How are you going to survive?"
"Believe me; they didn't manage to get all my money. I still have a good deal of it left in several accounts on the Cayman Islands. It won't be very hard to access, and they are ones the public does not know about."
"A good idea. Now would be the perfect opportunity."
"I wouldn't advice that just yet." Clockwork stated, startling them both. "This is not over."
"I helped Daniel out, I destroyed the infestation; what else is there?" Vlad demanded. "Is there another queen I have to kill?"
"No, that at least went as planned." Clockwork replied, turning into a child. "However, there is a new enemy that you must soon face. There, I fear, I cannot help you."
"You haven't been a lot of help to me so far. Why would this time be any different?"
"I've helped more than you might think. In the near future, you may face yourself in combat; good day."
"What the hell did he mean by that? Stupid, annoying ghost and riddles… this is probably how Daniel felt when I acted the same way. Does he mean a different version of me, or… no, there's always a mystery in his words. He wouldn't tell me straight out. I'll have to think about this, but in the meantime, I better get out of here." He and Fright Knight flew off. I'll keep a quiet eye on Daniel… in case he needs me again.

"Well, there's no other way to say it: we're screwed." Tucker sighed. Valerie and Jack fired their last bullets at the Xenomorphs, but it wasn't enough to stop them. However, they started slowing down; one even fell to the ground.
"This is odd, even by our standards." Jazz quipped. The other aliens soon fell unconscious as well.
"Shit, this is going to be a hell of a story to tell when we get back to school." Danny smiled. "I wonder who exactly did that, though."
"Wonder no more, ghost boy." A voice laughed. "I wanted the aliens, and I got you as well, punk." Walker showed up, along with a few of his goons. "These are the weapons I've been looking for."
"A ghost?! Get away from my son!" Jack demanded. He took out a small ecto-gun and pointed it at Walker. He laughed to himself, enjoying the moment.
"Guards, take the creatures back." Walker ordered. "I'll deal with them myself!" Valerie cursed herself for not bringing any ghost weaponry, while Tucker and Sam gasped in horror. Derek stood beside Jazz, glaring defiantly. "This is going to be fun." He fired several ecto-blasts that they tried frantically to dodge. Jack returned fire, but no one else had any ghost weapons.
"We've got to get out of here!" Derek screamed in panic. Walker turned towards him and he froze. He launched a stream of energy, and Derek collapsed. He tried to get up, but was only able to crawl about ten feet before he collapsed to the ground.
"You'll pay for that!" Danny exclaimed. And yet it's almost a relief that's he's dead; I never did trust him. God, what am I becoming? I can't think like that!
Jack fired the remaining energy in his weapon, stunning Walker. Using the distraction, they ran away as fast as possible. Fortunately, Fenton Works wasn't far away. "It's a hell of a shame." Dash shook his head. "Jazz, if you need someone to talk to, you can always come to me." I didn't like the kid, but she apparently did. Hopefully, I can stop myself from making moves on her.
"Thanks for your support, but I'll be fine." Jazz managed a weak smile. They walked inside their house and looked around.
"It's about time you got here." Umbra smirked, or whatever the Predator equivalent. "You're all here… except for Derek. Where is he?" Their silence told him what he needed to know. "How did he die?"
"Walker came after him; there was nothing anybody could do." Danny said in a surprisingly calm voice. He had gotten used to death throughout his career and especially over the past few weeks. Besides, he never trusted him.
"I am quite sorry to hear that." Umbra bowed his head in respect. He had grown to like the annoying young man. True, he was strange, but was a decent human, and intelligent as well, which was more than could be said for most of his kind.
"We've got to deal with the aftermath of all this." Sam declared. "The aliens are destroyed, but there's a lot of damage in Amity. Besides, this may not be the last time we hear from them."
"If we do encounter them again, we'll know how to fight them." Jack stated with confidence. "With Danny on our side, nothing can stop us!" Sam put her arm around Danny's waist, obviously agreeing with him. They walked up to Danny's
room. The others thought about stopping them, but forced themselves to refrain. That is, except Dash, who was chuckling to himself. Once they were inside, Danny burst into tears.
"What am I becoming, Sam?" Danny sobbed. "I've watched my friends and mother die before my eyes, and Jazz probably blames me for her boyfriend's death. The worst part of it is that part of me is glad he's dead!"
"Danny, you are not a bad person." Sam replied, hugging him tightly. "You are just wary about who your sister dates; don't worry about it. This is difficult, but we will get through this together. Think of what we still have. If you really were uncaring, you wouldn't be talking to me right now."
"That's true, but I still feel guilty. In any case, they're destroyed now, so they can no longer prey on innocents. I did not completely succeed in my role as Amity's protector, but I have not failed, either! I can't save everyone, but I will prevent something like this from happening again."
The cleanup of Amity Park took weeks. The final death toll was never known but around 3600 bodies were recovered and 1457 people were still missing. Life gradually got back to normal, but everyone was still afraid. The Xenomorphs were not easily forgotten, and police were more wary than ever about disappearances.
With the Predators, the few survivors fled back to their planet. That is, except for Umbra, who decided to stay in Amity Park. Curiously enough, most of the bodies disappeared. The remaining members of the clan discussed among themselves, but decided to wait on their decisions until returning.
As for Jack and Vlad, their relationship had been mended somewhat, but it was still tense. Maddie was dead, so there was little to fight over, but Danny was not about to forgive him. One day, he simply disappeared without any apparent explanation except for a note. Daniel, I'm afraid there's something else I have to take care of. I apologize for not telling you what it is, but this is too dangerous even for you.

And unfortunately, Jack turns out to be right. Walker was intending to turn the creature into weapons and he was not acting alone. Even among the humans, he had allies.
"Very good, Walker," Someone chuckled in the dark. "I'm glad someone was able to do something right."
"When I have a job, it gets done." Walker smirked. "I can finally get my revenge on the ghost boy, and you will gain power in the human world. It'll be quite interesting to see the results."
"I won't forget what you've done for me. With Masters out of the way, it'll be simple to engineer these creatures." However, she had an even deadlier weapon, not that she was going to tell him that.
"Of course… Ms. Yetani."

Previously:
Derek got up and found himself at the Fenton's house. "Where am I?" He asked himself. He looked at his body and was astonished to find that his injury had completely healed. "Odd; that sort of wound is normally fatal, especially when you can't get to a hospital. How is this possible?"
I saved you, Derek.
"What are you?" he wondered, looking around the room. "For that matter, who are you?"
In one sense, I am you. I've become part of you, and not a moment too soon. A few more minutes and you would have died. I suggest you speak inside your head, so no one will lock you up.
Okay, but you still haven't answered my question. Why did you help me?
Simple: I know what it's like to be in your situation. When I merged with you, I saw some of your memories. Perhaps I could have seen more, but I decided to respect your privacy.
Are you a ghost or something? Does this mean I'm a hybrid? It sounds cool, especially after I saw Danny's power, but it's probably a great burden to have.
No, you are not a hybrid. True, you do have abilities, or rather will. I am not yet strong enough to use most of them.
What does that mean? Are you a symbiotic organism?
Yes, as a matter of fact. I knew you were intelligent. However, I will leave it up to you whether or not you wish to accept me. The longer we stay together, the harder it will be to separate.
I'll keep you, then. It'll be nice to have a friend, even if it is inside my head. It's not like Jazz will stay with me for long. What have you learned about me?
To begin with, you have a mild case of Asperger Syndrome, although I do not understand what that is. Also, your feelings are quite strong, you don't have many friends, you have spent your entire life being tormented by your peers, but your fantasies were something I preferred to stay out of.
Well, thanks. Now what exactly can you do? They heard people coming up the stairs.
Get out, hurry! The Fentons cannot find out about us, or they will use us for experimentation. Almost automatically, Derek opened the window and jumped to the ground. It was around 15 feet, but he didn't even feel pain.
How can you do that?
One of your new abilities and this is just the beginning. Once I fully recover, you will learn what you can truly do with me at your side. It'll also be nice to have someone to talk to. I know what it's like for you. Is there anywhere you can stay?
There's one friend I've had for years. Even though I was a nerd, she still liked me. God, I can't believe what happened.
He died protecting others; you should be proud of him.
I am, but it's still hard to deal with. Maybe I'll talk to Jazz later, once all this is over. Danny will probably punch me again. He's quite protective of her.
And he doesn't like you because you're weird, right?
That's putting it mildly. I wonder how strong I am now. Derek ducked into an alley and saw a full dumpster. He grabbed the bottom of it and hoisted it up with relative ease. That's amazing!
Just wait until my energy grows. Right now, your strength has multiplied several times. When I fully recover, it will be far greater.
Maybe things are finally starting to look up. I have you, at least, and Paulina will allow me to stay until I figure out what to do.
And I can teach you how to use your abilities.
I will not allow others to suffer as I have. We will prevent it, by any means necessary. Derek smiled as he walked towards Paulina's home.

Well, that's the end of it. To be honest, I was originally going to have Dan Phantom attack the city, and have the army, Predators, and Fentons work together to defeat him, but eventually decided that it didn't make any sense for him to appear. I'm planning a sequel, though it won't be up until summer. I've managed to create the basic plotline, but there are a lot of details I still need to work on. Just so you know, Derek is based on me. (Like you couldn't figure that out already)
Hopefully, you have enjoyed this story, even though I didn't get as many reviews as I hoped for. I can't get too bad, since I almost never write one. This is
my darkest story yet, and for future reference, you can probably find any future works by me in the "M" section. There are a couple more things I need to say.
By and large, my mom has managed to recover, except for the occasional pain. She is even going back to work. Unfortunately, she still won't allow me to drive the car, but I suppose I can't blame her.
Jack Bauer: Chloe, I need those schematics now.
Bart: What? Who is this?
Jack Bauer: I'm Jack Bauer, who the hell are you?
Bart: Me? Uhh, I'm Ahmed Adoodie.
Jack Bauer: Chloe, find out all you can about Ahmed Adoodie. Does anyone there know Ahmed Adoodie?
Chloe O' Brian: Ahmed Adoodie, wealthy Saudi financier, disappeared into Afghanistan in the late 90's.
Jack Bauer: Really?
Chloe O'Brian: No, Jack. It's a joke name. You're being set up.
Jack Bauer: Dammit! (starts shooting while Bart laughs)
