"So Dr. Grey, is no longer a part of this mission to apprehend Argost anymore?"
"Yes Dr. Saturday, she's staying out of everything till it settles. Bad enough that out of every Scientist, he choose her, but taunting her now with notes like the one I sent you, she's out now. I'll be keeping my eyes on her and assisting as much that I can from here. We need to figure out why she's his main target here first, before we all continue any further. Good luck."
"You too, Paul, and watch Miranda carefully. If she remembers something, even the smallest detail, tell us."
"Will do, but who knows when that will happen. And as Miranda would put it, be careful and stay safe."
Turning off the monitor, I looked over at Drew and I could see that she was a bit concern. But the gears in her head, they were picking up speed.
"Drew, what are you thinking of?"
"This pattern, it's a bit familiar somehow. The Yeti Sample, the note. . . It's like I heard of it somewhere before. But for all of this to even happen, Argost had to been given a real good reason to do all this. . . Possibly from someone who felt threatened, had to give him a reason."
"Are there any documents from then, that we can use now?"
"Possibly, lets see what we can dig up. Zak is at most in bed by now, but at most he's awake and hanging out with Doyle."
I simply nodded my head at Drew at her comment, and the two of us walked off towards library. Entering the library, the two of us quickly got to work looking through every year that Drew could possible think about in mind. Every single document, we completely went over again and again, till we stopped around midnight.
"What could we have missed?"
"We both thought of every year that we could possibly think of, Doc, maybe, we're just thinking and choosing the wrong years? Do you want me to get Doyle to help us out?"
"He might have some information about this, than we do. Maybe a bit more, due to his past and hanging out with every single bad guy that we possibly know of. So it's worth a shot."
"I'll grab him, and meet you back here."
Drew pecked a small kiss on my cheek, and quickly left the room to get her brother. Opening up some documents, I skimmed through them, trying to see if there were any connections that relate to now. Out of everything that we could have possibly pulled up from our library and databases, we weren't getting any results. I could hear the door opening behind me, and taking a small glance behind, I saw Doyle stretching a small bit while walking next to Drew.
"So what are you guys looking for exactly? Cause I have no idea."
"These events that are happening right now, Doyle, they're similar to ones that happened before. I remembered them happening once, but I can't place what year? Think your criminal knowledge might help us?"
"Yeah, so these events they deal with what? Argost attacking someone and notes appearing randomly?"
"Basically yes, Doyle. Know something, that we don't?"
"Um yeah, Doc. Try the year 1995, that was major event for us bad guys. And we all know who did it too, cause he didn't hide it from us."
"Who Doyle?"
"One person Doc, V.V. Argost himself. The first time he did it, we all knew it was plain genius. He was paid to do it too, like big bucks, and he went after the target. The target, god he lived, cause he got to a hospital before he could really die. After that, the taunting started, but it could be different now. But anyways, the first target had enough of all it and well . . . died."
"Doyle, you're not telling us something. So tell."
"Okay, Drew. The dudes death, it was staged to look like suicide had really happened. That's what the police rolled it as, but we bad guys, we got the truth and knew it was murder from then on. The rest, it became history. Now, Argost only does deals if the target really catches his interest. Other than that, he hasn't gotten any new targets till now."
"So someone had to tip Argost well enough to do this. Someone with a lot of money, resources and everything in his pocket, but the main question is who? And why Miranda?"
"Okay, I can't answer the who, but I can for the why question. Miranda, she's a weak link. But she's hold the Secret Scientists together quite will, since it's started. She's the glue here to keeping all you guys from tearing each other apart. She falls, you guys fall. Well, I can't help any further from here. Ever since I've been working with you guys, my renegade status, it's been drying up."
Drew and I both stared at Doyle, and he merely shrugged his shoulders at the both of us. Letting out a deep sigh, I merely nodded my head at him and looked back at the archives. Bringing up the year 1995, I skimmed through every single article, till the ones that we were looking for appeared.
"Thanks for the information Doyle, this is going to help a lot. All we need to do now is find this person, and drop by for a visit."
"No problem Doc, and what if every single link that we can find leads to a dead end? Then what happens?"
"Then we have a lot of trouble coming at us, little brother. And it probably won't be pleasant at all."
I nodded my head in agreement with Drew, and I sent copies of the articles and the information Doyle gave us to the other Secret Scientists. Hopefully, this past event will help us now, and we could possibly be a step further in this whole thing. And the further we go into it, it's going to become more complicated, as we're ending up with more questions than answers. But us Scientists, we aren't done here yet. However long Argost will be keeping us in his game of cat and mouse, and we'll be right behind him. No matter what comes at us.
"Doyle, I think I know how you can help us further. You might not like it, but I need you to head to Paul's place and train Miranda. Train her in any form of combat that she will agree too. She needs to be ready for whatever comes our way, and we aren't going to allow her to die like she nearly did some time ago."
"I'll see what I can do, Doc."
"And be patient with her, Doyle. She'll be slow at first, but she'll be quick to catch on. Plus she's secretly stubborn. . . So don't match her in anger, unless something provoked her to be stubborn, other than that she is rather calm."
"Got it sis, and stop feeding me the necessary information on people, okay? If I'm going to train someone, then I'll need to see how they are first hand. Can't have people give me information, as it becomes a conflict on how the person should be trained. We're all like a strand of DNA, each one different from the next, and so is a person's training. So I'll get going, and be there in morning. Send him a notice that I'm coming, and I'll get his coordinates from the database. Later."
He left the room with a smug grin on his face, and I looked over at Drew with a worried look on my face. She was sharing the same expression as I was.
"Think this was a mistake, Doc?"
"He's the busiest of us here, Drew, and Miranda needs to be ready. I just hope that whatever he throws at her, she can handle it."
