Epilogue

As helicopters branded red cross, flew along side a single one branded to show it's ownership to HAPPY. Doctor Claw's MADmobile descended on to what is left of Mt. Everfrost. That once landed, Mad Cat jumped from. To then have his owner leave the vehicle after him, but not at the same energetic pace.

Puzzled by the lack of what the animal had seen as his home for 24 years, thanks to having his genes tweaked. Mad Cat sniffed around the area. Trying to make sense of the smells he knew to be faintly of the strange oder that had been wafting through out MAD's headquarters. Along with that of tovex, potassium chlorate, dynamite, and something the cat remembered from smelling months ago. It had not belonged to his master, but in trying to recall what it was. He knew his master had wanted it.

Doctor Claw climbing up the face of what had been a mountain, now merely a large hill composed of rubble. At the hill's highest point, looked out at the after math of clearly the massive event he'd missed. One that cost him his organization's main base of operations. Wreckage sprawled out with chucks of Mt. Everfrost in every direction he looked in. Below him, beneath his feet. Not a single sign of the launch tunnel for his rocket-car, he knew he was standing on.

Seeing his pet now sniff him at his feet. He questioned the animal, knowing full well Mad Cat couldn't truly reply back to him with an answer. "The men from long ago in their rage, or the grunt I left in charge? Which do you think?"

The cat simply looked up to him for a moment. Before then continuing to do his own investigation over what had happened. Still Wondering about what could have led up to this happening. Doctor Claw looked around for some clue to give him answers and he found it. A few of his men who seemed to actually be watching him. Nearly out of each other's sight. As the head of MAD remembered the one chopper he'd seen fly away, branded that it had been owned by HAPPY. He was sure them being almost entirely hidden had to have been on purpose.

Making his way carefully down to them. He noted that one of three men was injured. Another one was pissed off looking without doubt. That, and all three of them didn't seem fond of him approaching them one bit. Thinking that the looks all had to do with what ever had caused the destruction around them. Doctor Claw continued on to them, not believing any of their negative looks actually had anything to do with him.

Squirt looked back & forth from his gun and his boss, as he saw the man get closer and closer to him. His superior noticing the man's actions. Now directing his path more towards him now than towards the in general direction of the small gang.

Throwing down his gun with seeing Doctor Claw coming straight towards him. His boss stopping for a moment to look at the hand gun on the ground. Told him, "a wise decision."

As Doctor Claw continued to approach Squirt. The subordinate looked coldly to the man. Wondering if he really could be that clueless as to his anger. Squirt got his answer fast.

"Tell me what happened, Squirt." Doctor Claw asked, confirming reason to the other man's rage.

Not feeling like holding back any more. Squirt then decked Doctor Claw. Then money passed in silence between the two MAD agents who'd witnessed the act.

"You left us, that's what happened! And you know what?! HAPPY stepped in with it's only. Now we don't have a headquarters any more thanks to you!" Squirt yelled at his boss in answering the man's question.

Their side chosen with that of Squirt's. The two fellow MAD agents who'd been standing away from him and their boss. Now stepped up and forcedly removed Doctor Claw's armored glove from him. The agent who wasn't injured, in the removal of the glove. What he and he others around him saw as a show of Doctor Claw's power over them in normal threat. Looked briefly to Squirt as the action was taken.

"I'm in charge now! You are defenseless!" Squirt shouted at Doctor Claw. As the superior stood before him, restrained by two of his men.

"Wrong." Doctor Claw replied flatly, glaring at the treasonous subordinate standing before him.

Wondering how the man couldn't be as helpless as he looked. Squirt feeling now more alert to what was happening right then and there with the man. Now took notice of something he'd failed to notice earlier. Mad Cat was rubbing around his legs. The animal now seeing Squirt was looking at him. Then reached up the man's leg, and unsheathed his claws.

In Zillah, Libya, HAPPY agent Fairfax Caldwell headed into one of it's smaller looking museums. The reason for this being a small box held in one hand, of nicely constructed design. A sorry gift given as an extra to what the box contained.

Upon his entry in greeting the establishment's desk reception. In Berber and then in Arabic to fully insure the woman understood him. Caldwell asked her, "hello, may I speak with your manager, a mister Tatanaki. I have something for him for here."

"ما هو في على الإطار?" She asked looking at him, before turning her attention to what it was he was holding.

Agent Caldwell opened the lid of the box, then showing her it's single item of contents. It made her smile, and following her approval of what she'd seen. She then proceeded to press an intercom button on her desk.

"Mister Tatanaki, you have a visitor, and he has something you've been wanting back." She stated into the intercom, in accented English. Before depressing the gadget's activation button.

"Ammut & Ah-Puch" She continued in English, now speaking to Caldwell.

Then after getting up from behind her desk, she escorted him to a chair. Asking him, now switching to Arabic in her speaking. "سوف في مثل على الزجاج من المياه بينما في الانتظار على له?"

"No thank you, I'm fine." Caldwell replied, professional in his demeanor. Waving her away while answering her question.

In no time at all, Tatanaki seemed to come into the lobby of the museum. His employed desk reception woman, not even getting back to her station fully. As the man approached Caldwell.

"Who are you and what is this thing you wish to present me with?" He asked in accented English to the HAPPY agent, looking impatient at the foreigner. Quickly getting back up from the seat he'd just taken.

In good diplomatic fashion Caldwell by instinct readied himself to greet the man. Then remembering what he'd read in his mission assignment about why he was here. Then took a few steps back from the man.

While the local museum owner looked at him puzzled for the action. Caldwell greeted him, hoping the man hadn't taken offense by it.

"My name is Fairfax Caldwell, I'm an agent of HAPPY."

Tatanaki glared at him for the new knowledge over who he was now dealing with. Although more specifically who Caldwell represented. Ready to ask the man to leave. Caldwell broke in fast noticing the man's disgusted look, adding in.

"Sir, I've been sent here to give you what you lost due to mister Hancock. Normally people put on one assignment continue it, but in this case that couldn't happen. You damaged the machine one of the agents on this case was using as a translator. I was brought in his stead because I'm familiar with languages in this area of the world ..and the fact you tried to kill the agent with the translator."

Quickly Caldwell then reopened the box for Tatanaki to see what was inside it. The local museum owner too smiled at the sight inside the box. Before removing the item to hold it.

The item, an artifact from long ago, a carving the size of an aggie marble. Then with it's true owner possessing it again. He brought out from his jacket pocket. A clean cloth handkerchief, and started to rub the object down.

The carving showing combined features of both influences of Ah-Puch by way of a horned owl head. Plus Ammut by way of an alligator's open mouth. A mashing of myth gods of Mayan & Egyptian going back and forth in design through out the piece. Leopard spots on bars leading from clawed bird's feet. To on top on the head, the more leopard spots.

"It's been completely cleaned & sanitized." Caldwell pointed out as Tatanaki rubbed it down.

The local museum owner, seeming to ignore his words. Nodded before then without looking up from his polishing of the carved artifact. Walked back off to where he'd come to the lobby from.

In noting her employer likely was pleased with what the HAPPY agent had returned to him. The desk reception woman called to Caldwell from her station. Asking him in accented English, "Would you like a free visiting pass through this museum today?"

"Sure, and given what that artifact I think represented. I'm sure the history I'll see in your collection will be extraordinarily fascinating." Caldwell replied to her, placing the box once belonging to the artifact on her desk. To then kindly accept the ticket she handed to him.

After noting where the entrance was that would lead him to the visitor part of the museum and not staff part. Caldwell after paying the receptionist the required three libyan dinar. Needed for the audio aided guide he picked up. Then walked off to see and hear the history behind what pieces on exhibition the museum had.
