Sleeping Danger

Written by kklo 1997-98

Stoker and Kickstart were very silent and tried to relax while they were sitting in their spaceship. It was programmed to take them to Earth. Chicago.
"Stoker, you really think it was wise of us to travel down there alone?"
"Throttle, Modo and Vinnie will help us. We don't need more soldiers, it's just an Earthling we are going to take care off."
Kickstart shrugged his shoulders and continued to work with the computer he had in his knee.
"It's strange..." Stoker said. "I thought you had repaired the system after the McDann event."
"Yes, we did. But it looks like we never can gain a complete safety. Someone from Earth used an exploit that has supervised all activity in our system. Even if we always encrypting the information is it a big risk."
Stoker sighed first, then exclaimed frustrated: "Why can't humans just keep their hands off our systems?"
"Hmm, it's only that Frank Streds who has done it before and that was many years ago. Don't overeact."
The old mouse didn't answer him and stared out of the ship's window and Kickstart thought if he should say something, but decided to continue with his work.

Tony Amberlay's hands were working with some needles again.
One needle in Charley's forehead, two in her chin and one on her nose. She was beautiful.
"Soon my love nothing can stop me from getting you!"
He took out some darts and started to throw them at the photo.
Suddenly he stopped, and looked at the wall in the little room. The wall was covered with photos of Charlene Davidson he had taken the latest weeks.
Amberlay shut his eyes and saw her when she sat in the bathroom, scared, shaking.
It was in that way he wanted her. She should be scared and she was.
A stiletto laid on the table. He grabbed it, and stabbed the knife into the photo many times, hissing.
Charley had been away for him for many years and now when he had found her, he couldn't let her escape.
Couldn't let her run around with other men, he had to teach her to love him.
Slowly he stopped to use the knife and kissed the photo very gently.
"Don't you ever make me hurt you...or I will be angry at you..."

Amanda sat outside Don Carramazza's office.
She had made a decision, she was going to pray to the Big Man in there for help.
For the fifth time gave Amanda her watch a look. She had been waited for almost 40 minutes!
The door opened, and five dark-dressed men came out.
One of them stopped and gave her an importunate look.
Amanda stared back because she didn't like when men dressed her off with their looks.
"You're our boss' girl, right?"
"No!"
"Amberlay's girl?"
"NO! I'm NOT his girl! He's MY boss." Amanda answered annoyed.
The man pulled off his dark sunglasses and looked at her, then said: "Aaah, I see...It looks like we have to be partners. It's going to be funny babe, it's going to be fun."
He laughed, put the sunglasses on and followed the others.
Amanda gave them a dark look and sighed. She HAD to leave. It was enough with that insane Tony, now she would have five idiots as partners too and at least one of them who were excited by her, then having that Limburger as a second boss.
It was more than any human could take.
She raised herself and entered the office without hessitation.
The door closed behind her automatically when she was inside.
He sat behind a big desk of golden marble and looked at her with his dark eyes.
"Amanda Shannon. Long time since I last saw you, pretty lady. Are you here beacuse of the men who left right now? As you can see has Tony already fixed that. You can go if you haven't got anything to tell me."
She narrowed her eyes and said: "Good. But I have to ask you a thing."
"What?"
"I can't work with Amberlay anymore, and he scares me. I want to leave, but I can't. Can you help me, please. I would like to work for you instead."
The maffia-boss looked at her for a long time, then: "I'm sorry Mrs. Shannon. But I have not enough power to do something against Amberlay."
"You are afraid of him too?"
"Go now Mrs. Shannon."
Without a word turned Amanda around and left the office filled of despair and anger.
The Big Man looked after the young woman and shook his head slowly.

Behind The Last Chance Garage landed a Spaceship.
Stoker went out followed by Kickstart.
Inside the garage had Charley fell into a deep sleep. The mice tried to play cards and watched her.
They had decided to sleep in the garage over the night, so Charley would sleep well, and to protect her if that insane guy would show up again.
They suddenly heard a load sound outside and Vinnie hurried to the backdoor and opened it.
"Hello there, punk!"
Vinnie was really surprised to see Stoker and Kickstart outside the door and didn't come up with any reply.
Throttle and Modo went up and hurried to their old friends.
They were all surprised over the visit and wanted to know what has brought Kickstart and Stoker to Earth of course.
Stoker told them about their mission. That they had to find the earthling who surely had a lot of information, which was very dangerous in wrong hands.
"So, we wonder if you want to help us? We have traced the earthling so we know where to go."
"Well Stoke. Some bad things has happened...that's why Charley lays over there asleep, even if it's just early evening." Said Throttle quitely. "Dunno if it's too wise to leave her alone now."
"What?" Asked Stoker a little bit worried. "What happened?"
As fast as possible told Throttle them their own story about the phonecalls and how they had found Charley in the bathroom upstairs.
"Looks like you have trouble too. But maybe Vincent here can stay and watch her. And you two can come with us." Said Kickstart
The mice nodded and agreed that was a good idea.
Kickstart sat behind Throttle and Stoker behind Modo when they rode off, following the tracer.
It didn't take long time before they reached the target, a pretty large house.
It was totally dark.
"Okay, let's go inside and be careful!" Stoker said.
They had their guns ready and tried to open the front-door. It was unlocked so they went in to the totally dark building.
All four mice stopped and listened. No sounds, only silence.
A hallaway with a few door was laying before them and Stoker tried to open one of the doors but it was locked.
"Let me take care of that." Said Modo and broke the door up easily.
But it was impossible to see anything in the dark room.
Modo tried to find a button for the lamps, found it and the light chased the darkness away.
The sight which met them was horrible that it made them all gasp.
What they saw was clean white room, the only thing which stood in there was a table.
A lot of strange tools were laying on it, things as nails, scalpels and knifes.
But the things which made them most horrror-stucked were all the photos of Charley on the wall and what someone had done with them.
There were nails, needles and ripps all over the photos, in some of them were darts stabbed.
Some of the photos were so destoyed by knifes and darts so it was hard to see that it was Charley on them.
"Oh man... Throttle whispered.
Someone open the frontdoor.
Kickstart quickly turned the lights off and Throttle, Modo and Stoker pulled up their weapons.
They heard upset breathes and footsteps which came closer to the room.
A dark shadow was standing in the front if the door and looked into the room.
Stoker turned on the lights quickly and Kickstart grabbed the person in the doorway.
His eyes went big with surprise when he recognized that it was a woman who had captured.
She was definitely shocked and tried to free herself so Kickstart just released her.
The human watched the wall and the photos with feared eyes. She didn't gave the other mice a gaze, she just stared.
"My god, oh...he's so insane...oh god..."
This earthling was pretty short, about 5'6, had wavy brown hair and blue-grey eyes. They were filled with clear fear as she slowly backed off the photos as if she was scared that they were going to attack her.
Kickstart laid his right hand on her shoulder.
She turned around at once and stared at him.
"Who are you, lady? What are you doing here?" Kickstart asked as gently as he could to not upset her.
The woman just continued shook and started to cry silently.
When he studied her face could Kickstart see that someone had hit her in the face. Her nose was fair red.
"You wanna come with us? And tell us about this?" Throttle asked carefully.
Now started she to stare at him instead, but nodded a little and said with a weak voice: "We must get away, before he comes back. "
Throttle, Modo, Kickstart, Stoker and the unknowed woman walked out of the horrible room and turned the lights off.
When Stoker closed the door whispered the woman: "Don't care about that. He will see that I have been in there, he will kill me. I'm so scared!
"Who?"
She tried to say a name, but her voice broke all the time. Kickstart laid his arm around her and to his surprise flew she into his arms and burried her face against his chest.
He laid his arms around her back in reply, held her like that and talked calmly: "Take it easy...try to calm down."
She slowly stopped sobbing and her voice was more clear than before when she spoke: "My name is Amanda."
"Well, Amanda. Who is that man?"
"Tony Amberlay. We have to run away. That monster can be back here in any time!"
"Don't worry, pretty lady. We're four and he's one." Stoker tried to calm her down.
"You don't know him as I do...he is very strong, and maybe, he will have his new assistants with him."
The mice weren't sure that they understood what she was talking about but they went out through the dark hall, and outside the house.
"Hmm, our problem is that two bikes can't take five persons." Said Modo.
"I can walk."
Kickstart looked at Amanda and then at the other three mice, then back to her.
"You want me to follow you?"
Amanda looked at him, and said: "Yes, yes...I'd love to. "
Kickstart took her hands in his and said: "Don't worry, I will be with you."
He was surprised over his own feelings for this human female. He examined her body carefully.
She was very beautiful...that darkbrown hair, those deep eyes and her percelain face.
"Okay Kick." Said Thottle. "You can handle this situation by your own?"
"Sure I can. Don't worry."
Throttle and Modo drove away with Stoker, and Kickstart was left alone with the Earthling.
He looked down at her, she looked up at him.
"Please, let's hurry."
The martian nodded in reply and they started to walk down through the street while all dark shadows grew longer and the sun disappeared quickly like in an old Dracula-film.
Amanda was all shaken up after all shocks that evening. But when she saw the tall, grey martian mouse, his tall and strong body, walking by her, she just felt...safe.
It was something special about him that made her feel so protected. She moved closer to him while they walked.
She didn't expect him to do it but when he recognised how she got closer laid he his right arm around her.
"What's your name?"
"Kickstart."
"Why did you come here, to this house? Is it because the files I copied? You traced me?"
He looked down at her and she saw that he hadn't expect that question from her.
"Well...that's right, but was it really you..."
"You hesitate just because I'm a female? And female can't handle computers? Right Mr Male? "
Kickstart lost the word but succeed to say: "It...it wasn't like that I meant...I'm sorry."
"No. I am sorry. Shouldn't have yelled at you because I am so touchy right now."
The martian and human looked at each other silently until a smile appeared in Amanda's face and he couldn't hold the smile back either.
She tried to lay her arms around his neck but couldn't because he was too tall.
Kickstart snickered, wrapped his arms around Amanda and picked her up. Amanda could feel the warmth from his body and the hands on her back, a warm feeling flew inside.
The bad memories just faded out and she understood what was happening to her, though she wasn't the one who believed in "love from the first sight".
Even Kickstart didn't realise what had happened to him. Never had he felt like this for a female and especially not for a HUMAN female. Not as quickly like this. Amanda was so different from all other girls he had met.
He let her down and put his hand beneath her chin.
"Did he hit you?"
She nodded slowly. Her face changed, now it looked dark and scared.
"I'll never hit you. Never." Kickstart let out before he realized what he actuallyy had said. "Sorry...I... I didn't mean like that, sorry...I didn't mean.."
"It's okay, Kickstart." Her voice was calm and soft and he hands rubbed his cheeks.
Kickstart tried to clear his thoughts, it failed. It was too hard for him to think straight when he could feel the light smell of Amanda close to him, when he saw her face.
Oh man! I've falled in love!

Charley woke up, and found that Vinnie sat on a chair a few meters away and watching her.
"Morning babe, I have been here with you all the time."
"Oh, this is horrible. A psycho is after me, and I'm alone with you!" she sighed.
"Oh babe, I'm not gonna hurt you so much. I promisse!"
Charley smirked at the comment.
Suddenly opened someone the door and went inside. In instincts grabbed Vinnie his laser-gun and turned around.
"Ah, calm down punk! It's just us!"
Stoker grinned when Vinnie gave him a glare and put down the weapon.
"We have met a woman. She walked home with Kickstart so they will be here soon...and Charley. It looks like we have found out where your psycho is..." Said Throttle.
"A lot of photos...of you..." Stoker continued and a scared smile appeared in his face. "With both nails and needles pierced through them..."
"Okay, thank you, that's enough!" Charley said and shook for a moment.
"Don't worry, Charley mam. You are not alone here."
"I know Modo, I know...if I was alone, I wouldn't made it."
The silence fell over the fellows.
"What happened to Kickstart and the Amanda-girl?" Asked Stoker worried.
No one answered.

Like they were two teenagers again, Kickstart and Amanda was kissing each other on that empty street.
"We'd better go now. The others are going to be worried." Gasped Amanda between the kisses.
"Please, don't stop."
"Mmmm, 'kay, I won't as long as you won't.." she whispered and continued and shook by complacency when she felt Kickstart's hands on her body.
After a couple of minutes let Kickstart her go.
She giggled and kissed his cheek.
"Come one...let's run, hurry up!"
"Okay!" Smiled Kickstart in reply and they ran down through the street.
After a few minutes had they reached the garage and both breathed heavily.
Suddenly, without warning, fell the martian backwards. His clothes were suddenly covered by his blood.
After a few seconds had Amanda understood what had happened.
"Kickstart!"
She fell before him and the garage's frontdoor opened with a slam.
Vinnie, Throttle, Stoker, Charley and Modo ran out and just stared.
"What happend!?" shouted Stoker.
"Hhe shot him! Amberlay shot him! He must has seen us and followed!"
The laying martian who was still awake tried to calm her down.
"It's not...as bad as it seems...darling. It's just a...flesh-scratch." His voice faded out, and he fell unconcious.
