Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures
"The Mission" PART 2
[At Quest Compound]
"Jonathon Quest and Roger Bannon at front door," IRIS' boomed voice echoed through the mansion. Benton Quest and Hadji Singh hurried down the stairs to meet them.
"Hello, Son," Benton greeted Jonny. "We're sorry about Jessie?"
"What do you mean by 'you're sorry'? She isn't dead," Jonny angrily retorted.
"Yes. She is not dead. We traced her homing signal. No luck," Hadji replied calmly. Jonny hugged him and hoped he was right, as usual. "Although, her homing beacon is 'out of commission' I may be able to go in her mind," Hadji quickly added.
Race just stared at the ocean, his mind planning retaliation on Surd. He was going to kill him and everyone he was associated with if his daughter had been hurt in anyway. Unable to stare anymore, he stormed out of the house. Jonny ran after him but Hadji stopped him. "He needs some time to cool off," he simply said. Suddenly, Jonny had a thought. Questworld! Yes, Surd always logs into Questworld. Then, we can trace it.
Without another word, he left for the lighthouse. Benton and Hadji exchanged glances. And in a minute, they were right behind him. "What's on your mind, Son?" Benton asked Jonny.
"Surd. He is obsessed with Questworld. That's the only place where he can be powerful. He'll log into Questworld and when he does, I'll find him," Jonny responded in a deadly tone, his eyes full of rage towards the only one man who had caused enough trouble for the Quests and the Bannons.
"Of course, why didn't we think of that?" They both said.
"Hadji, log me into Questworld," Jonny told his older brother. He saw his father coming at him.
"Hadji, log me in too," Benton ordered. "I am going with you son."

Jessie finally came to in a dark room of an abandoned warehouse. Julia or Surd were nowhere in sight. She got up to her feet and started looking for the door. But something stopped her. A large computer console with the words "PROJECT: QUEST DESTRUCTION ACTIVE." She was about to make a run for the door, when all of a sudden, someone grabbed her and delivered a hard punch to the face. He or she was none other than Surd's henchwoman Julia.
"Where do you think you're going, Ms. Bannon?" Julia asked the now bleeding Jessie.
"You're not going to get away with it, Julia," Jessie barked through her bleeding lip. "My dad will find us and then, he'll kill you and Surd."
"Your dad will be dead long before he learns where you are, my dear Bannon. And soon you'll be too," Julia mused herself.
