Later, after arriving in New York and the Museum of Natural History,
the J team was stationed near the
exhibit where the dagger was being displayed. Jackie was positioned in an upper gallery with Capt. Black. "No
sign of our guy yet, muttered another agent". Suddenly, Capt. Black's radio crackled to life.
"Green-squad leader reporting in sir, I think I see the target out on the main staircase. He's dressed in gray pants
and a brown leather jacket" "Yup, that's him all right, even got the sunglasses on", stated Jade as she lay on her
stomach on a crate next to Jackie.
"WHAHHHH!" screamed Jackie, "Jade, what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see the Dark Hand get its butt kicked again."
"Well, stay here and you'll be in less trouble than you are now."
"Jackie", Capt. Black nudged him, "Our targets on the move."
Sure enough, the blue haired man was striding briskly down the staircase and onto the main floor. "Agents, move
in", Capt. Black whispered into his walkie-talkie. "Come-on, Jackie".
The two raced for the ladder down to the main floor.
"Harumph!" pouted Jade
As the section 13 agents closed in, Jenreid reached the back of the crowd of people looking at the exhibit.
He started to roughly shove people out of his way.
"Not exactly inconspicuous", Viper muttered to El Toro, as they watched Jenreid knock the other visitors aside.
Two museum security personnel ran forward as the thief approached the display case holding the jeweled dagger.
The first security guard swung his nightstick at Jenreid, who simply raised his wrist and blocked it. Then,
wrenching the nightstick from the guards hand, he kicked the guard in the stomach. The second guard atepped
back and drew his gun. Jenreid threw the nightstick so it struck the guards wrist causing him to drop the gun. He
then turned and smashed the glass display case with his bare hands. At the sound of breaking glass, other visitor
began to scream and confusion ensued. Jenreid picked up the dagger from amongst the jagged shards of glass, and
turned to face the panicking crowd. He saw museum security as well as agents working their way towards him.
He crouched, and then leapt almost twenty feet in the air, to land on the railing of the upper gallery. He quickly ran
along the narrow beam, above the guards still fighting their way through the crowd below. Jenreid leapt off the
railing to land in the hallway leading to the entrance hall. Tohru stepped out of a side hall as he sprinted for the
main exit. Jenreid simply slid beneath his legs and popped up, just in time to see Viper swing a karate chop at his
head. He deftly caught her wrist, flipped her over, and tossed her aside so her shoulders slammed into a wall. El
Toro charged at Jenreid to tackle him, but Jenreid sidestepped El Toro, and drive his elbow into his back as he
went past. Tohru charged at Jenreid, who waited until Tohru was almost upon him, then jumped straight up and
over Tohru, kicking him lightly in the back of the head as he crashed down. Jenreid looked towards the entrance to
see Jackie and Capt. Black barring his way. "Stop this and you won't get hurt", commanded Capt. Black.
Jenreid glanced over his shoulder at Tohru, Viper, and El Toro, "Funny", replied Jenreid, "I was just thinking the
same thing".
Jenreid tucked the dagger into his belt, and raise his arms. Two long- bladed spears flew from a nearby rack and
into his outstretched hands. He twirled each in his fingers, before suddenly slamming the blunt ends into Capt.
Black's chest and Jackie's midriff, knocking them aside. Jenreid dropped the spears and strolled casually towards
the exit.
"Hiyaaaa!" Jade leapt from the upper balcony, aiming a kick at Jenreid's face. He simply twisted his shoulders
sidewise, and caught the back of her sweatshirt as she flew past. He pulled her into a choke-hold, and drew a knife
from a sheath inside his coat. He held the thin blade under her chin.
"My way out just got easier" Jenreid grinned. "Nobody move, and the girl will remain alive." He backed slowly
out of the museum. Once outside, he slammed Jade against the wall, and drove the knife through her sweatshirt
into a crack in the wall behind her. Jenreid left her dangling there as he ran off. Moments later, the others burst
out of the museum, but Jenreid had already disappeared onto the crowded sidewalks.
