RECAP:
Sam stood and wrapped her arms around him, staying there for a few moments, not caring who saw. She needed him to feel her love for him, she wanted him to know that he wasn't alone anymore they were in this together. They were not going to bow down to Sheila and there was no way in hell that Sam was going to hand over her the man she loved without a fight. If she had to die fighting on his side then that would be where she would stay. He had given her a purpose, a sort of mission in life to prove him innocent, one that she would fulfill at any cost. That was the price of true love, one that she didn't mind paying, not for him.

1:50 pm- WOOHP Headquarters, Jerry's Office
Jerry entered his office after an extended break. He felt guilty for having Sheila fill in for him for so long. He just had to apologize. "Sorry Sheila, I didn't mean to take." He stopped talking. Sheila wasn't there. He blinked for a second while thinking why she would have just disappeared like that. A moment later, he figured he must have taken way to long and she may have had somewhere to go to. He sighed as he made his way to his desk. His little break being over he needed to get to work. He sat down in front of his computer and turned it on. A second later a message flicked on to his screen.
Dear Mr. Lewis,
There has been a problem in the Asia sector.
The Yan Xing Metal factory of Hong Kong has undergone a break-in.
We have reason to believe that this is much more than a regular break-in, t
he owner Mr. Sev Xing is extremely concerned and wants your assistance i n solving this problem.
Please send help soon,
D.O.I
(Database of Information WOOHP)
Jerry sighed. Another mission. He re-read the message gathering the important details that he would need for the record. After a few moments he decided it was time to round up the girls. They were going to Hong Kong.
2:00 pm- Beverly Hills, The Groove
Tim held Samantha against him for a while. He could feel her heart beating rapidly in her chest. She was scared. Scared of loosing him, scared of moving on, scared of letting go. In all reality, he was too. He did not want to leave her, not for any reason. He sighed as he thought to himself. It was him that started this whole problem anyway, he should have never let his guard down and fallen in love. Then again, how could he not have fallen in love with her. With all her love, and devotion she made him fall in love with her. He did not want let go. But he had to be mature and move on for her sake. No matter how much it would hurt him, he knew that he had to end it. It was for her own good, and besides he was used to being alone. He would live on without her, even if his heart would die.
After waiting another moment he pulled away from her. She looked up at him with sad pleading eyes. Eyes which told him to hold on and never let go. Never leave her alone. Tim could see the remains of tears in her eyes. He gently wiped them away with his thumb and placed a comforting smile on his face. Sam gazed into his eyes, which used to hold mystery and anger, but now held love. Love which was for her. He was trying to be strong, but she could see the hurt in his eyes. He didn't want to let her go, and that made her feel more loved. Tim gathered his courage and decided that he had to speak. It was now of never. "Samantha." She blinked sadly. "Please let me go." He said the words in the most comforting yet firm way that he could. She nodded her head no. "Tim I-." He took her hand in his. "I have to let you go. Believe me, if I don't you'll get hurt. I'm doing this to protect you." Sam avoided his gaze as she spoke. "And who will protect you from Sheila?" He winced. "I can protect myself." Sam looked straight at him. "No you can't and you shouldn't have to! Everyone needs someone to love them. You can't be all alone in your life. Why can't you understand that!" He looked taken back from her tone of voice.
Her outburst had attracted the attention of other people sitting at the restaurant. She continued in a mere whisper. "I can't move on. Not without you. Tim, I. I love you." He had gone extremely silent as she said this. She gently placed her hand over his and finished. "Please don't leave me." Tim glanced around the area noticing how many people were looking at them. He did not want to discuss this here. Without saying a word he led Sam out of the restaurant and took her to a more secluded area. Sam waited for an answer, an indication that he had changed his mind about leaving her, but she received none. She decided to speak first. "I-." She would have continued only she noticed a strange look on his face. He was looking at her feet. She glanced down and saw the ground opening up, which could only mean she was being WOOHPED. He took a step closer to her, concerned but she gave him a slight smile. "It's okay it's Jerry. We'll talk later!" She fell down the WOOHP tunnel and after a moment landed on the couch in front of Jerry's desk.
2:15 pm- W.O.O.H.P Headquarters, Jerry's Office
She sat up a moment later and rubbed her back. Taking a glance around she noticed Clover and Alex were already there waiting for her to start. Sam sighed. her conversation with Tim was going to have to wait, Jerry's timing couldn't have been worse. Clover sighed. "Sammie where were you?" Alex sat next to her on the couch and asked in a low whisper "Were you with him?" Sam's blush confirmed Alex's query. The three girls snapped to attention when Jerry cleared his throat. "Girls we need to get started please." He pushed a button an an image of a factory popped up on the screen in front of them. "This is the Yan Xing metal factory in Hong Kong. Just yesterday there was a break-in here." Clover crossed her arms over her chest. "Why would anyone break into a metal factory, what would there be to steal...Metal?" Alex giggled at her question. Jerry did not. "Girls please, we have reason to believe that there is something dangerous about this break-in, an ulterior motive." Clover rolled her eyes. "Whatever." Jerry gave her an annoyed look. "You girls are going to get whatever information you can, so get ready you're going to Hong Kong." "What do we get for gadgets Jerry?" Sam asked. G.L.A.D.I.S. spoke up. "Today you get Suction Cup-Bottomed Gogo Boots, Just-Sticky-Enough Gloves, and M-Ray Contact Lenses in aquamarine. Along with these you also get S.R.L.D." G.L.A.D.I.S. held up a silver flower locket. The girls gave Jerry a confused look. Jerry explained. "The S.R.L.D. stands for Superior Recording Locket Device. It allows the wearer to record any conversation for up to 100 minutes." The girls smiled. "Cool colour Jer" said Clover. "It blends in with my accessories." Jerry smirked. "That's the point." He hit a button on his console and sent the girls falling through the floor only to land in the W.O.O.H.P jet, the next stop with be Hong Kong.
6:00 pm- Yan Xing metal factory, Hong Kong
The girls entered the factory through the main exit. They were brought through by a worker after speaking to the owner. "It looks like any other factory" Alex said. Clover nodded. "It looks like every time there is a little problem we have to be brought to investigate. I mean hello? Ever heard of police!" Sam smiled. It had been such a long time since they had been on a mission together and she had missed the adventure. She took out her X-powder and placed it on a side table. Then reached in to her pocket for the M-Ray Contact Lenses. "What are you doing, Sammie?" Alex asked. Sam put on the lenses. "I'm trying to see if we can find something by looking a bit closer." Alex and Clover also put on the lenses then decided to divide up and check out the different parts of the factory. They spent close to an hour carefully inspecting the factory and were extremely disappointed when they found nothing. Clover sighed. "It was just a regular break-in. What a waste of time! But I can't say I'm complaining. Come on let's get out of here."
On the second floor, unknown to the girls they were being watched by a camera. Outside a man spoke quietly on a phone. "Should I do it?" he asked. A second later a woman answered, "Not yet, wait till she's alone." The man sighed impatiently and hung up. The girls walked out of the factory a minute later. From the shadows a man sighed gratefully seeing them exit.
Outside they decided they should call Jerry. Alex made the call and reported that they found nothing and they wanted to come home because they had spent an hour in the factory and it was useless. As Sam waited she realized that she had forgotten something. She glanced at Alex who was still yelling at Jerry for giving them a stupid mission, then started back inside the factory. "Where are you going Sammie?" Clover asked. Sam turned to her. "I just remembered I forgot my X-Powder. I have to go get it." Clover shrugged. "Want me to come with you?" She took a step closer to Sam. "No it's okay. I know where it is. You stay with Alex. I'll be back in a minute." She turned back and headed inside the factory. Once inside she walked to the area where she had left her gadget. "There it is." She retrieved it and started to walk out of the factory. The man who had been waiting saw her through the camera. "Finally" he whispered. He hit a button on a remote and an explosion was heard outside. Clover noticed it first. "Alex, did you hear something just now." Alex was about to say no, till she caught sight of the factory. "Clover! The factory is on fire! Look!" Clover snapped her head to the factory and sure enough the main entrance was erupting with flames. "Oh my God Sam!" The two girls frantically ran to the the factory looking for a way in. There was none. Alex began to cry for Samantha. "What do we do?" Clover pulled out her X-powder. "We call Jerry and hope that Sam isn't near the entrance." It wasn't a great plan, but there was nothing else they could do but watch helplessly.
Inside the factory Sam saw the flames and backed away as fast as she could from the entrance. It wasn't much use because the fire was spreading quickly towards her. She searched frantically in her jetpack, her pockets, everywhere for something that could save her from burning. When she found nothing she stared with horror at the fire coming closer to her. The flames were consuming everything in their path, and soon the smoke from the fire made it hard to breath. She coughed holding her had to her mouth in an effort to stop the smoke from entering her lungs. Her head began to spin from the heat inside the factory. She collapsed heavily to the floor and felt her eyes closing. Then a moment later she felt herself being wrapped in a heavy cloth, and being lifted from the ground. Sam opened her eyes weakly to see what was going on and caught a glimpse of the person who was trying to rescue her. It was Tim Scam. She had so many questions in her head right now like how he got in to the factory and what he was doing here. She found that she couldn't speak. A small wail escaped her lips which he heard. Thankfully she was awake. He snapped his attention to Sam's face. Her eyes were open and she was looking at him. She could see the worry and fear on his face, and truthfully she had never seen him more frightened. Tim gave her a weak smile. "It's okay, I'm gonna get you out of here Sam. Just relax." She felt tears well up in her eyes as she thought. "He's putting his own life in danger for me." He tossed Samantha over his shoulder and whispered. "Trust me." Sam let her eyes close as she hung on to his back. Once he had her secured he threw his blazer on top of her head to protect it from the fire. She was completely covered from the fire, while he was not.
Tim broke into a run searching for a way out. His eyes scanned the factory and all he saw were flames. There was no safe way out. In any case he was going to get hurt. Bad. He had almost given up hope when he noticed an emergency exit that was a few feet away. He ran to it and noticed that there was only about a metre's worth of space left that had been built from wood that wasn't already burnt. It was the only chance at escape they had. Tim hoped that the wood was weak on the door and thankfully it was. He sent a kick flying at the door and the wood smashed and gave way. He could now see light coming in. He gathered his strength and kicked again, this time the door smashed to bits and the way out was open to them. Tim threw himself out of the exit and clung onto Samantha as he did. A moment later they were out. With Sam over his shoulder he crawled as far as he could from the remains of the burning factory. Once he got a safe distance away he turned to see the factory collapse from the damage of the fire. It scared him to death to think that Sam was in that building just a minute ago. If he hadn't been there, who knew what could've happened. He panted and tried to catch his breath. After a few moments he rolled Samantha of his shoulder and lay her on the ground. Tim tore off his half-burnt trench coat and blazer that covered her boy and face. He fearfully looked down on her, afraid to see what damage the fire had done to her.
He started to breathe again when he saw that she was alright. The fire hadn't harmed her. She was unconscious though, but he knew that was probably from the shock or heat from the fire. He, himself had not been so lucky. He could feel the sharp burns on shoulder and back, and the strong pain from the cuts on his leg which he had received after trying to smash the door. Tim smiled. Love was a strange thing indeed, he did not regret getting hurt for saving her life. Still, the fire had hurt him bad whether or not he wanted to admit it and he could feel himself slip out of consciousness. But, before he did he leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips waking her from her slumber as he fell into a deadly slumber of his own.

Sad. huh? I wonder if he'll be okay.
Anyway it's 1:00 AM and I just finished witting this. LOL
Please R&R
I wanna know how you liked this chapter, and if you think he'll survive...or not.
It's kind of confusing but if you read closely there are clues as to how the incident happened as in who caused it.
Anyway,
R&R
