Alex was sitting down in his office; he had been in there a lot lately. His office was a good size, he had a nice desk with a computer, he had a file cabinet against his wall, and a shelf full of books. He was looking over paper when a young cadet came walking. Alex looked up from his work, seeing the young cadet standing in front of his desk. "Can I help you, cadet?" he asked kindly.
"Um, yes sir you need to sign this," he said placing the piece of paper on top of Alex desk.
Alex looked over the sheep of paper seeing what it was, it was a release form. Alex kindly expression change to rage when, he saw who the release was for.
Captain Logan's door was busted open by a raging Alex. Alex's eyes were full of anger, he held out in front of him the releases papers. "What is the meaning of this? You have to be crazy to let him free!" yelled Alex.
"Calm down Alex, and take a seat," said Logan sternly staring at one of his top officers.
Alex couldn't believe how calm he was acting. How dare he? "Calm down, you want me to calm down. I just have the release papers for Steelix in my hands, and you want me to calm down," yelled Alex as he took a seat.
Logan got up from his seat turning his back to Alex, as he looked out the window. "It is the best right of action to take Steelix was Jen's partner none the less. He would be the best choice to track her down and bring her in," said Logan as he turned around facing Alex.
Alex couldn't believe it after everything Steelix has done. Alex just shook his head. "You can't trust Steelix, his only motive would be to destroy Jen pay her back for turning him in," said Alex trying to get through his captain.
Logan nodded his head; he rubbed his chine with his hand. "Yes, we thought about that and that's why we are teaming him up with another officer," said Logan calmly.
Alex took a deep breath, "Who?" he asked angrily not believing that Time Force was trusting Steelix with this task.
"I haven't decided yet," responded Logan.
Alex knew he had to do something quick. He had to protect Jen and Wes for as long as he could. "Let me be his partner," Alex stared deeply at his captain. "After all I was Jen's partner, I know how she thinks," said Alex knowing he was taking a big risk.
Logan looked hard at Alex as if trying to read his motives. After moments of silence he finally shook his head. "Very well" said Logan.
Mr. Collins was in his office looking over papers, signing some as he went. Eric was sitting down in front of Collins desk. It had been week's sense Wes left, Eric knew Mr. Collins missed his son very much. Lately he has been finding any sort of work to do, just so he wouldn't be at home. Eric bit his lips he hated to see him like this, but he didn't know what to do. He thought about trying to find Wes, but something told him right now Wes didn't want to be found.
Mr. Collins, felt this urge of pain in his heart, he had been ignoring it for days, but today was different. The pain was strong and unbearable, his eyes began to water. His breathing became difficult to do.
Eric jumped up from his seat, "Mr. Collins are you all right?" he asked with concern. Collins looked up at Eric, he places his arm against his chest, and suddenly he collapsed on the ground. Eric ran to his side. "Mr. Collins, sir," he shook him. "Oh, no he's having a heart attack," Eric grabbed a hold of the phone dialing 911.
"Hurry, you have to get to Bio-Lab, Mr. Collins is having a heart attack!" yelled Eric, his hear began racing. This can't be happening, not now. Not when Wes is gone.
"An ambulance is on the way, sir,"
Eric hung up the phone; he placed his hand in Mr. Collins. "Hang in their sir, helps on the way," said Eric.
