"Well Samine…what's your answer?"

            "Go ahead and kill him. He means nothing to me," she said with an indifferent expression on her face.

            Xander gaped at her in shock at her statement as Scott looked smugly at Xander noting his expression. Samine looked between Xander and Enclave waiting for someone to do something.

            "So are you going to kill him? I don't have all day here. I'm a busy girl you know," she said almost like she was bored.

            Enclave looked between her, Scott and Xander and started laughing which caused Scott to also start laughing. Samine laughing softly with them and eyed the book bag sitting on one of the chairs in the far corner of the room towards the doors that she assumed was the way out.

            "I have to give it to you Samine, you are very good but enough of this silly talk. Do as I said."

            "I don't follow orders bitch."

            Enclave's face fell and his hand snapped out and slapped Samine across the cheek as her head snapped to the side from the force. Everyone stopped laughing as she slowly lifted her hand to her face but was still hidden by strands of her hair that had fallen from her ponytail.

            "Oh shit, now ya did it," Xander muttered rolling his eyes and tensed, ready for the explosion.

            Samine lifted her head and gently touched her lip and looked at her fingertips that were stained with blood. She flipped her hair away from her face and wiped her bloody fingers on her jeans and looked up at Enclave as she slowly nodded.

            "That was cute…but now it's on."

            Her fist lashed out and struck Enclave directly across the jaw dazing him with the force behind her hit. He dropped her gun as he fell back a few steps and she felt it land on her foot. Snapping her foot up she caught the gun and shot the henchman that was moving towards her. Xander grabbed Scott's wrist and twisted it away almost breaking his wrist as he kicked out and hit one of the henchmen in the stomach. Releasing Scott, Xander grabbed the other guy by the shirt and pulled him up towards him and punched him. The guy scuttled backwards a few feet and scrambled to his feet as Xander almost picked him up and pushed him directly into a bookcase and sent it all crashing to the ground. He ducked when gunfire erupted in the room and ran behind a column to shield himself. He jumped when he bumped into someone until he realized that it was Samine.

            "Are all of your family reunions this exciting?" he asked as Samine handed him a weapon that she grabbed off the guy she shot.

            "Ha ha, you're so funny Xander. Where did Scott run off to?" she asked trying to look around the room and not be shot.

            "Last I of saw him he grabbed a book bag off a chair and ran out the room."

            "Great, that's probably where the plutonium is. I have to find him before he sets it off somewhere public."

            "Go on. I'll take care of Enclave," he said as he checked the clip of the gun.

            She nodded and got ready to fun out from behind the column before Xander grabbed her hand and stopped her.

            "Samine I have to know. When you said that I meant nothing to you. Did you mean it?"

            "God X no I didn't. You mean more to me than anyone I've ever known," she said softly and gently ran her hand down his cheek.

            He grabbed hold of it and kissed her palm before looking up at her.

            "I love you Samine. I didn't know it until now but when you said that, my heart just dropped and I wasn't expecting that. I didn't want to admit it but I do. I love you."

            "Xander I hate to tell you, but now is neither the time nor the place to be talking about this," she said and moved to make her run.

            Before running off she stepped back and soundly kissed Xander on the lips and arched against him as his arms wound around her waist before she pulled back.

            "But I do love you. Be careful."

            And with that she was gone running out of the room with gunfire following her leaving behind Xander. He stared after her as the door closed behind her as he sighed and saw a movement out the corner of his eye and he quickly shot the last of Enclave's henchmen. The sound of a clip being switched out he came out from behind the column and pointed his gun directly at Enclave who stood in the middle of the room where Xander last saw him. Enclave looked up and tossed the gun to the side and opened his arms wide to Xander.

            "Go ahead and kill me," he sneered staring Xander dead in the eyes as Xander advanced on him.

            Xander looked at him before dropping his arm and setting the gun on the table next to him as he stared at Enclave. He pulled off the headset and tossed it on the desk on top of the gun and stepped away from the desk.

            "No, I'm not going to kill you. Yet. You see, I've seen what happens to Samine when you call and torment her and all that other bullshit. And I've been dieing to actually meet the asshole that does that to her. Someone that is stronger than I ever thought imaginable and lately I've needed a new punching bag because I beat the shit out of my other one. And I happen to think that you fit the bill pretty nicely. So prepare to have your ass handed to you on a silver platter."

Samine ran out of the building and looked both directions down the street looking for Scott and didn't see anything that resembled him. Pressing her earpiece closer to her ear she radioed the helicopter and prayed that Gibbons relayed her message to the pilots.

"Come in pilots in the helicopter hopefully flying over New York over."

"Roger, this is BigBird. Is this Samine?"

"Yes, yes it is. I need your eyes guys. I need you to see if you can pick up a radiation trace somewhere around 57th street, towards the north and/or south."

"Gee that shouldn't be that hard," they said and she could practically hear them laughing over the radio.

"Hey humor me guys, you're supposed to be helping out here."

"Okay, we'll see what we can do."

Pulling out her cell phone from the car she dialed the number of Gibbons' cell phone and anxiously waited for him to answer.

"Gibbons this is Samine. I need the sharp shooters ready to move in a moments notice. Send the police to 2537 East Madison. Xander is dealing with Enclave and Scott got away with the plutonium. He's carrying it in a book bag, a green one if I remember correctly. Use his file picture from the British Secret Service and pass it out to all of the army guard, police, and the sharp shooters. He's going to go for somewhere highly populated so that should narrow it down for you. I'd go for the shopping district or Times Square," she said and quickly hung up the phone.

"Well I'll be damned."

"What? What is it? Did you find my plutonium?" she asked hearing the pilots on her headset.

"Yeah all the way up on 43rd street. Your plutonium must have taken a cab."

"Great, okay get in touch with Gibbons on this number 649-2840 and tell him to go there. Keep tracking that radiation. I'll be there as quickly as I can."

Samine jumped into the car and slammed on the gas as the tires squealed on the way out of the parking lot. While she was driving she looked all around the car for anything that she might use in this case that could help her save her ass in a pinch. Hitting a button a small screen slide out from the console and flipped up to show a digital screen.

"Destination Samine?"

Samine looked at the screen when the computerized female voice asked her that and she quickly smiled in glee.

"Quickest way to 43rd street. New York City."

"Quickest way would be taking 36 over to 52 which will run perpendicular to 43 but it is rush hour. With that in mind and this being a car built by the genius Shavers I have created an alternative route."

Samine laughed out loud and knew that Shavers had to have added that in his free time. A map quickly appeared on the screen and she quickly scanned it and decided to follow it. Taking a sharp left in front of an oncoming fire truck she pushed the car up to 90 miles per hour which was serious speeding in New York. Watching the screen the majority of the time she failed to notice where exactly she was going and failed to realize that she was starting to get into a construction zone. Looking up she gasped when the car plowed through a wooden barrier and went onto a newly built highway which wasn't totally finished which she noticed looking farther ahead seeing the end of the highway.

"Oh no, you've got to be shitting me. This car can't fly, um hello? End of highway coming up! Yo bitch!"

Not hearing an answer and knowing that it was too late to hit the brakes she hit the little red button on the steering wheel and was promptly thrown against the seat as the mph jumped to 200 and she reached the edge of the highway and sailed into nothingness.

Okay everyone there is the new chapter. OH MY GOD, I am so thrilled with that chapter. I positively can't sit still, oh my god I can barely type right now I'm so excited. Anyway hope everyone likes the new chapter and I can't wait to work on the next chapter. I'm getting kind of sad because I knew that I'm getting near the end of the story but I'm kind of excited because I can now think of the new story. The trilogy if you will where Samine and Xander are together. Don't know if they'll be married or just g/f and b/f so I'll have to think about that. Okay so everyone R/R and tell me what you think of the new chapter and I will go and try to calm down. Peace.
