Alright, this is gunna be getting pretty hard now, since I've been in and out of surgeries and doctors offices and stuff and there was the release of Dual Matrix, so I guess if anything, consider this to take place before Dual Matrix or just an alternate universe from Dual Matrix.

Anyway, I'm having mental blocks on minor character's names now. I'm in school and in a lot of pain because my pain meds aren't doing anything but making me extremely out of it. As if anyone even cares though. But oh well. I thought I'd start writing the second chapter since I have a free period now due to everyone else in my History class is taking a test and I've been absent for the last two weeks. Just to remind you, this isn't the whole chapter most likely, I'll be finishing it later when I get home.

Well, anyway, I guess I'll get on with it. Read it, review it please because it's been a while since I've done anything to do with writing fanfics, so well, just it'd help me out a lot.

Armitage III: Search For Paradise

Chapter 2: Escape

"Eddie, do you think it'd be possible for you to set up a transport to Earth?" Eddie sighed as he listened to the voice on the other end of the vid-phone.

"A transport off the planet was not going to be an easy task, even from an MPD officer. Especially when the transportees are two renegade cops, one of which is a robot." He replied. This was really trying Eddie's patience. This is twice he was sticking his neck out for them. Last time he was found out. Luckily, all he got was a suspension. No telling what he'd get this time for aiding a criminal. "You've got to do it for me. If I don't get outta here, there's no telling what might happen to Armitage." The voice stopped for a moment. "And the child." "Ross. You're kidding me, right?" Eddie responded, sitting up straight in the rickety old reclining desk chair. The squeaking of the un- oiled joints echoed throughout the empty MPD office. "You didn't actually knock up Armitage did you?" "Just cut the crap. Can you get us out of here or not?" Eddie grinned as Ross said this. He had obviously hit a nerve. "Alright, I'll get you one. But you at least owe me the details of that little adventure, if you know what I mean." ". Just let me know when you set everything up. You know how to reach me." "Okay, I'll take care of everything Ross. I'm sure I won't have to worry about you being bored why you wait" Eddie prodded, grinning even more. "Too bad the video feed is busted," he thought to himself, "I would love to see Ross' face right now." With that, the conversation ended and the phone clicked off. Eddie went back to leaning back in the chair and put his arms behind his head. "This is going to be a tough job.." He stated silently, staring up at the slow moving ceiling fan above his head, as if almost mesmerized by it. After a few minutes, he broke from his trance, reaching into his coat pocket and pulling out a pack of cigarettes, he dialed a number on the vid-phone. Putting the cigarette to his lips and lighting it, he laughed slightly as the low beep of the phone's numbers reverberated around the room. "Well, here goes nothing."
