GENERAL HOSPITAL #48

Robert Scorpio aimed his burgundy Tesla down a dirt road that took him through a dense pack of brush and trees, and then finally, it came to an open field where a black helicopter was waiting; its blades still spinning rapidly.

"There's your ride," Robert said to Jason as they watched someone climb out of the chopper.

Robert parked his car on the dirt road, and then both he and Jason got out of the car.

The person from the helicopter approached them, and Robert recognized the man immediately; his name was William Donner.

"William Donner," Robert said as he reached out his hand.

"So," William said to Robert, then motioning toward Jason, "I guess this is Asset-157?"

Robert nodded his head.

"In the flesh," Robert said, as he too looked at Jason. Then he looked back at William. "It's good to see you mate."

"Hey guys; I do have a name," Jason said with a slight smile.

"Yes you do," Robert said, nodding his head with empathy at Jason. "Jason Morgan, this is my good friend William Donner. A former CIA man who I brought into the WSB, and then more recently," Robert added with a more serious voice, "Section-7."

"C'mon Jason," William said as he broke the handshake and headed back toward the helicopter, "we gotta go," he added.

Jason turned to face Robert.

"I know that man," Jason said to Robert. "Don't I?" Jason added.

In a fatherly gesture, Robert reached out his hand and placed it on Jason's shoulder.

"Listen to me," Robert said with a soft voice. "You have to fight the urge to recapture your past, for now at least. This organization," Robert said with caution in his voice, "Section-7 owns your soul for the time being. I went through this myself, and unless you play their game, for a little while longer," Robert added with, "they will make you and your sponsor disappear; and your sponsor is me."

Jason took a deep breath and then he shook Robert's hand and ran off to catch up with William. And then both men boarded the chopper and then it whisked away, its destination; Petrev's Yacht!
