DISCLAIMER: I don't own a thing, except Kayla, Charles, Apoc, and the rest. This is Jason's portion, so far. Don't worry, more to come. Oh, E.T.I. is mine too. I have no idea where it came from, but it works, don't ya think?

Jason hated it when his captain left him out of the loop too long. The tall balding man could be quite annoying at times.
Kay informed him that she understood his busy schedule being with the police force. And told him that he could reschedule the scuba test at any time. Jason felt his own cheeks flush as he remembered her soft lips turning in an apologetic smile.
"Scott, it's about time." The captain entered the room with three files in his hand. Handing them to Jason, he sat at his desk.
"Sorry sir. I was in the middle of the ocean for a scuba class." - I was in the middle of the ocean with a beautiful woman. - He told himself.
"Uh huh. Right." The higher officer could see the look in the young lieutenants eyes. He knew there was more to it, but didn't press. Jason felt the color creep into his cheeks again. Though he had had experience, he couldn't help but blush when it came right down to it.
"Ok, the files you have are on the case it's self. E.T.I.'s position and one of the two people you will be working with. Jason frowned as he searched the files.
"One of the two?" He questioned. The captain shook his head.
"Not even E.T.I. knows who the third party is. All they know is that it's someone that has had a lot of experience in matters like these." Jason's frown deepened. What matters? Slowly Jason opened the file containing the case. A gruesome photo met his eyes.
"Oh God." Jason felt his stomach churn as he looked up at the captain; "What in the hell happened?" The police captain cleared his throat.
"We aren't sure exactly. We were hoping that with your uh ... experiences, you might be able to figure that out." Jason didn't like when the captain made reference to his days as a Ranger, but it couldn't be helped. The younger man shook his head; "There have been twenty-seven bodies have been found in New York and thirty-eight here in California."
"So that's why she's here." Jason noted absent-mindedly. Remembering what he had told her.
"Who?"
"Huh, oh the cop from New York." The captain reached over and opened the third of the files.
"You mean her?" Jason nodded looking at the picture of the Detective.
"Yea, that's her." The phone rang as the two officers looked at each other. The captain reached over and picked up the receiver.
"Mullans."
Have your counter part ready. The car will be there in fifteen minutes. The one on the other end hung up before Mullans could question anything. Looking at the phone questionably, he hung it up.
"You have fifteen minutes to get you stuff together." The captain stated. Not hesitating, Jason stood and nodded his head before leaving the office.
Jason collected the few things he had out of his locker and headed toward his desk.
"Hey Jase, where ya going?" Jason turned and smiled when he saw his friend walk up.
"Another assignment Adam."
"With the ..." Jason only nodded; "Ug, have fun."
"You don't know the half of it my friend. You don't know the half of it." Adam slapped his hand on his friends shoulder, giving him a reassuring smile.
"Come back in one piece Jason." The well-built young man could only nod. This was one mission that he wasn't sure what would happen. Adam smiled slightly then headed off to his own duties.
As he rummaged through his desk, he couldn't help but think of happier times in his past. Like when he was asked to be the Godfather of Kim and Tommy's first born. What surprised him, was they asked Kay to share being the Godmother with Trini. There had been a silent appreciation between the three that he noticed the last time the four adults got together.
And unknown to Kayla, he knew of her preferences. He had seen the looks she had given Kim when the two first met. He realized what they were only because he had seen them in himself. He also remembered the look Kay had given Katherine when she first came to Angel Grove. He never said anything for fear of embarrassing her.
She had never really noticed that the looks she had given the girls, he was giving to her. It was a well-known fact that she was interested in Jason. And the feeling had been mutual. But because of her past experiences with boyfriends, he had kept his distance and so had she. Keeping that what was there. A deep friendship. That he wished someday to change, yet never pushed.
Jason could only imagine what she would be like. By his side. In his bed. Working together. The thought sent a small shiver down his spine. Shaking his head to clear it, he continued with his task.
Standing straight, he slung his bag over his shoulder and headed for Mullans's office. At the door, he stopped to focus himself again. Then, tapped slightly.
"Come." The hard voice was heard. Jason opened the door and stepped in.
"You ready Scott?" Slowly Jason nodded.
"I think so sir." Mullans was standing at the window.
"Your ride is here." Jason shuttered slightly. Mullans turned to him and Jason immediately snapped a salute. Mullans couldn't help but smile. Jason Lee Scott. Always the officer. Returning the salute, the captain held out his hand; "Good luck Jason."
"Thank you sir." Returning the handshake, Jason took a deep breath and walked out of the office toward the door.
"Hey Jase, hang on a sec." Adam's voice rang out. Jason stopped and turned to see the young sergeant run up to him; "I have something for you." Adam reaching into his pocket and grabbed the small charm Trini had given him to give to Jason.
"What is it?" Jason asked as he told the small silver piece from Adam.
"Trini asked me to give it to you when you went on you next assignment. She says it will bring you luck." Jason turned it over in his hand. A smile touched his lips. For in his hand was a small silver charm etched into the shape of a Saber toothed Tiger.

"Happy birthday Trini." Jason smiled as he handed his long time friend a small box.
"Oh Jason, you didn't have too."
"I know. I wanted too." His eyes shining; "Go ahead, open it." Hesitantly, Trini looked at the small jewelry box. Slowly she opened it. Her eyes widened with excitement. With out warning she threw her arms around him. He knew the significance.
"Jason thank you so much. It's perfect." Gently Jason took the box from her hand and pulled out the charm. Carefully he took her wrist and fastened the saber toothed tiger charm to her bracelet.
"It will bring you luck." She smiled as she hugged him again.
(End flashback)
"Jase?" Jason drew himself back to the present. Leaning down he set his bag on the floor then reached up to his neck. Removing the small silver chain he always wore, he slipped the charm on it. Then refastened it.
"Tell Trini I love her and she will get it back." Adam smiled as Jason grabbed his bag once more. Not being about to resist, Adam through his arms around his long time friend and brother.
"Take care Jase." Nodding, Jason let Adam go and headed out the door. Adam was worried. He knew that these missions were taxing on Jason. And very dangerous.
Jason walked confidently out of the building. His eyes rested on the jet-black limousine in front of him. This was unusual. Since when did E.T.I. ever spring for a limo?
"Agent Scott?" The chauffer registered. Jason nodded; "Get in please." Hesitant at first, Jason allowed himself to be shown into the limo. These guys were definitely not E.T.I.
"Where are we going?" Jason asked in a rush of nervousness.
"You'll see agent Scott." The man in front of him spoke. The two men in the limo with him could sense his nervousness. They looked at each other concerned. They knew that he had worked along side Kay as a Ranger, but didn't know how he would handle was he was going to see.
Jason was silent for the rest of the drive. Taking in everything he had seen. Where were they going anyway?
Quickly the limo pulled up in front what looked like an old converted church. As the black clad men led him toward the main door, another limo pulled up. The four of them stopped and turned around. Jason froze when he saw a woman step out of the limo. Sara Pezzini. Jason didn't like working with people he didn't know. But this time, he didn't have a choice. The four men waiting until Sara and her escorts caught up with them.
"Good to see you again officer Scott." Jason nodded.
"Likewise." Nothing else was said as the two unknowns were herded into the building. They stopped at what looked like and elevator. Jason and Sara glanced at each other as the doors opened.
"Lady's first." Jason notioned.
"Thank you." The other six men glanced at each other. That was something that their best agent would never allow done to her. After all, Kay did pretty much hold their jobs in her hands. When the door closed, the tallest of the men stepped in front of the two unknowns.
"My name is Apoc. You will be seeing things here that you most likely wouldn't fathom otherwise. Unfortunately neither of you can bow out now." Jason nodded. Sara looked on, confused. She could fathom quite a bit. The elevator stopped and Apoc turned. The doors opened to the hustle and bustle of things being busy.
Jason's eyes widened as he looked around. The last time he had seen this many different ... beings, was during a putty, cog and Tengu attack. Jason looked to Sara to see a bewildered looked on her face. He smiled gently reassuring her. Sara, just shook her head. Neither noticed as Apoc disappeared from their side and walking toward the women that ran the show.
