This chapter is so short, I decided to post both this one and Chapter 4 up at the same time. Hope you enjoy! And thanks for the reviews! Smiling is healthy! ^_^
Here are the new characters some of you have been wondering about!
This chapter has been updated! Spelling and grammar have been improved as well as punctuation. Also, there are added bits that were not there before! It may be wise to re-read this chapter if you wish to pick up on some extra stuff! Thank you!

Chapter Three - New Faces
Real World
London, England
Midnight
The streets of London were practically empty at the tolling of the hour. Husbands had returned home to their wives and children several hours ago to enjoy a quiet evening. The only people out at this time of night were the stragglers and the homeless.
A small hotel siting along a nameless street was a focal point to many of the poor citizens of the age-old city. They would cuddle in its alleys and foyer, trying to get warm in the cold months, and drink alcohol they bought with begged money all year round.
The rooms of the hotel were filthy and bug infested. The two men inhabiting a corner apartment on the third floor were not bothered by such trivialities, however. They had a much larger problem to worry about.
Kyle Bennington sat on a rickety wooden chair next to the broken-down bed. Strewn everywhere was computer equipment, laptop computers and miles of wiring. He was using the bed as a makeshift desk while he teked rapidly at his laptop's keyboard. He had hacked into the closest satellite in orbit and was using it to scan the surface of the planet.
"There's been a disturbance I've never seen one this strong before," Kyle said, directing his voice across the room to his partner.
The man sat half in the shadows of the room with his feet propped up on the overly painted windowsill. His black trench coat fell about him obscuring part of the black leather pouches he wore buckled to his blue-jeaned thighs. His black, calf-high, pirate boots glinted in the moonlight shining through the dirty glass of the window. The rest of him remained hidden in the shadows.
"Where?" came his smooth but commanding voice.
Kyle's fingers played over the keyboard like he was writing a symphony. "Pin-pointing now." Several seconds of silence issued punctured by the slight hum of the equipment.
A cockroach skittered across the floor.
"It's in the US Connecticut."
His partner mumbled something unintelligible.
"What's that?" Kyle asked, sitting back in the chair.
"Book us a flight to the US. This may be our best chance," he grumbled disgustedly.

Don't stop here, folks! There's still one more chapter! Please let me know if you like these new guys so far or not. Many, many reviews welcome! Oh, and I created these guys not only to cause problems, but to expand the old show beyond its boundaries. Can't really break new ground with the same old characters over and over again. Trust me... this gets good! ^_~
