Second wave.

Skymaster23 has no connection to Fiat auto company.


When the pair exits the elevator, they come across Quick-Kick and Cutter.

"Hey, guys. you hear the commotion around here?" Cutter asks them.

"The volunteering, you mean. Yeah, we did. Should have~should have been on the command level, hahaha!" Lady-Jaye replies.

"What happened?" He asked next.

"Ace, Bazooka, and Snake-Eyes lowered our standards a million times over, that's what. Thank god no outsiders saw it." Flint says through clenched teeth while Lady-Jaye kept laughing.

"Lighten up, Flint." She says to him as she wipes her eyes.

"There's nothing amusing about seeing our best stealth expert clawing at the floor rather than go on a perfectly normal mission." Flint says to her.

"You must mean the one to...Commissar Dracula's base, muwahaha." Quick-Kick says in the same accent Scarlett used.

"...Yes." Flint replied as he forces his eyes shut.

"Sounds great, doesn't it?" Quick-Kick asked, much to his surprise.

"You mean you actually want to go?" Flint asks him.

"And how, the both of us are big Lugosi fans." Cutter tells him.

After that, Flint and Lady-Jaye head to the parking lot, where she sees his car. "Holy crap, tell me I'm not seeing this!" She says to him as she lays eyes on a '79 Fiat Spider.

"My pride and joy, cost me a bundle to replace the old one." He says back in a smug tone at the envy on her face.

"Maybe i should tell Cover-Girl about it." She says back in a miffed one.

"Huh, what about her?" He asked and blinked.

"You don't know about her and...Never mind, it's a girl thing." She mumbles as the two get in.

Flint drives to the front guard house, where Lavigne is. "Oh, heading out, sir? Will need your passes." He tells them.

"Here you go, Pvt." Flint says, as he hands them over and drives off.

Once they are a mile away, Lady-Jaye sticks an arm out of the car, feeling the wind passing her fingers while Flint glances every now and then.

"I take it you like the ride?" He asks her with a grin, and she grins back.

"Affirm~i~tive." She replied.

"As, uh, as much as you like me?" He asked next, and her grin fades. "Too much?"

"I've...been wondering this myself, Dashiell." She tells him as he pulls the car over to the road side. "After what we did. We both know making love, and being in love..."

"Aren't the same. I can never apologize enough, Ali." He replies, but she shakes her head.

"Never said you had to...for turning me from lady to woman." She says, as a blush forms. "Just...use those if we ever get...like that again."

Now Flint blushes. "Ah, I, um,...i will, i promise." He says, then asks to change the subject. "You really don't like horror films?"

"Just drive, big fella." She says as she rolls her eyes with a smirk.

"Yo Joe, vacation ho." Flint replies, and the trip resumes.
