Sorry about being so long in getting this chapter up, but I have been busy with school. I would like to thank Brin, Yarr Harr, and Johan for helping me move ahead with the story. Oh, and Johan, Johna is roughly based on you. So, to my two Muses and my European friend, I deeply thank you for giving me the kick when I needed it.

Oh, Shadow's and Jade's love scene was made emotionally gooey on purpose for the mood that they have. So, don't shot me for allying with FF.Net's rating policy, the mood and scene just unfolded that way.

Now on with the story.

Chapter 10: Meetings, Big Trouble, Search for Dad

Melfina had spent the last hour or so attempting to put Logan's mind to rest. What she did not know was the speed that Detective Matt Sung would have contacted him. Mel just was setting by the sidelines as Rain and Aura used their past experience with Marrow to put Amber's mind on the right track. Shadow was having a field day with Valerie Shankar in their attempt to stabilize the Amber's physiology and make sure that she did not under go a Grand Mal Seizure. When a Grand Mal Seizure hit a Transgenic or even an ordinary Human, the dump of Serration out of the system would be fatal if it was not checked.

Forcing Amber to drink an entire pint of Milk to maintain her blood chemistry at near gunpoint made the entire group feel better about what had to be done. Aura was using her magic and even offering herself to be drank by Amber so that the younger T-Blood could be snapped back to reality and common sense. For the most part Melfina was waiting for Logan to show up so that she could explain to Matt Sung and him what she had found out. Limpkin was attempting to frighten the Transgenic community to cough up Kyla so that he could lure out her parents. The man was at least predictable about what he was up to, so all they had to do was play the game by their own rules now.

Logan and Max entered the T-Bloods Church to see the eclectic group of Transgenics and humans working to help figure out what Amber had been witness to. So far, in the past few hours, they had been able to deprogram her of the control that Marrow had over her and get the information out of her of which way Limpkin was moving with his plans to find Kyla. For a small child, the kid could make some enemies very fast.

"So, tell me what you all have dug up about what Limpkin has been up to recently." Logan said moving towards Shadow as he slowly removed the needle from Amber's arm that carried the protein supplement Dr. Shankar had created to stabilize the Transgenic mutations in the T-Bloods systems. It was working to ensure that Amber's transformation was to a point where she would not have the shakes as bad as she did when she was hooked on Marrow's blood.

"Well Logan, Amber here is able to at least answer some of your questions about what she saw. Nevertheless, from what she has said already, Kyla is seriously wanted by this asshole. The sooner that we learn what this kid saw, the more of an edge we have." Shadow said looking over towards Rain as she was bringing in pimento cheese sandwiches.

"I hope that your friends Asha and Aspen are working to get that information out of that kid's head. Because the sooner she remembers the better, I just want to get back to living my life in peace."

"So, when are we meeting with Matt, Lady Chimera from what I heard needs to talk with guy about what she had dug up." Melfina said going into the part of someone what was oblivious to the real identity of her alter ego.

"Yeah, Mel. I don't know what you did to contact that girl but I sure do respect what you did." Said Hayden the toughest of the T-Bloods who started to become one of the warriors who was charged with protecting their kind from discovery. His main concern for the past week or so had been locating the Jeremy's missing car. Mel had been moving up to him as someone that she might decide to date when the current mess of events had calmed down. "I hope that this meeting with this cop and Lady Chimera goes well because I feel like causing some chaos on the guys that killed the T-Blood and dumped him by the cops. I want to kick some serious ass." He said as he pulled out the Viking Broadsword that he had and spun it around in an elegant display of old school use of every surface to fight with. He was no Aril Flynn, but a kick ass, FedEx your ass to you fighter. Mel and Rain had drooled over his use of his sword and they wanted to get into shower with him. However, they had to save that thought until later. Now Melfina had to meet with Matt Sung and decided to announce to Hayden and every one in the room. "Hold that thought, until I get back with Logan." With that, she packed her gear up into her backpack and left with Logan. This would soon to be a night she and Matt Sung would not forget.

***

Matt sat in his car by the Docks; he would soon know whether this Lady Chimera could be trusted with what he knew about the Eyes Only Informant Net. The herbal tea that his wife had made for him to calm him down was not working, though it was adding years to his sex life given what was in it. Then he saw a flicker of lights coming up the drive he was on. The headlights of Logan's Pontiac Aztec he could recognize anywhere, Good Old Betsy had been through more gunfights and taken more rounds than had been ever shot during the Mexican New Years Celebration last January. As the Aztec pulled up to where Matt was parked, he noticed that there was woman with him, and it was not Max.

When Logan stopped his SUV and got out Matt's jaw hit the ground, when he saw Max get out from the back. The woman that was sitting in the front with Logan looked to be an Asian girl in her mid-to late teens. However, the thought of seeing another Transgenic after the one that he had shot may have made him a target for retaliation. It wasn't until he saw Logan get out and walk over to him with a calmness which he had never seen before.

"Hey Matt, I'm here with Chimera. I believe that you better talk with her." Logan said as he walked towards the front of Matt's car. The tension that flowed the situation was slowly elevated as Max got out of the Aztec with the Asian girl, the way that the girl walked was as if she was nervous about this meeting but putting her best poker face forward.

"Matt Sung, may I present Lady Chimera, A.K.A. Melfina." Max said walking beside the girl. Matt was shocked from the idea that this little kid was the one that hacked Eyes Only, got hold of his files and had contacted him since that broadcast several days earlier.

"Pleased to meet you." Matt said looking at the kid with a growing curiosity about what this kid had dug up.

"Same here," Melfina said looking at Matt as she brought out a computer tablet. "I know that you are afraid of the Transgenic that you shot. I know that you were just trying to defend you community from a treat that you perceived." Mel said trying to relax the situation. "I'm just glad that you stopped that madman from unleashing that toxin on the world and preventing other from enduring the fate of those who had died."

What had caught Matt off guard was the fact that the toxin that some whacked out geneticist had cooked out in a lab was genetically targeted to specific ethnic groups by particular proteins in their bodies. The look of concern in her eyes was understandable; she was worried about the fate of her community and its fate.

"What do you have for me?" Matt said as Melfina scrolled through her system, brought up what she had recently discovered as well as the background facts of how Hannah and her group had found Kyla, and saved the child's life. The entire dumped body as Limpkin attempted to flush out the Transgenics that had the girl and the witness who was there when Phoenix was murdered. What it added up to was a very nasty situation that needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

***

Aspen was sitting with Asha as Shadow had taken over the duties of watching over Hannah and Kyla. Kyla wanted to start playing with Nani as she was intently watching several old movies on DVD. Between the two children, Shadow knew that they would at least be occupied for several hours as they watched the Emperor's New Groove. Though the idea that Yezma, the mad genius villainous of the film did remind him of Madam X with her plot to take over the world. Why didn't he just let the situation move in a better style on containment? Well he couldn't argue over spilt milk. The situation was the situation they were in and it couldn't be helped.

Shadow walked over to the tank, which Hannah was sitting in with her children. What he did notice was that several of her children had become larger since he had last seen them several days earlier with their small tadpole like bodies growing chubby human appendages on them. Though their tails had not shrunk down and become incorporated into their bodies, he had started to notice that several of the kids started to show more of their primary sexual characteristics and from the look on Hannah's face she was just happy to be with her children.

What Shadow had started not notice about Hannah was that she was holding a finger from one of her hands out to one of her youngest children and making her hold on with the chubby hand and ride through the water. This image brought him back to thinking about his mate Jade. He wondered if she was with child or not. Was her belly growing to accompany their child and was she all right with the new yet ancient stresses that were being placed on her body?

Shadow remembered the first night that he and Jade were ordered to conceive. The situation had been awkward but they had to do it or be placed into the hole for none compliance. Shadow had slowly taken his time in getting to know Jade again by them just talking for a bit to catch up on their past missions and their experiences in the outside world. Most of all they wanted to be free. They wanted their child to be free and live a normal life. At that moment, what they did next was not for Manticore, or for orders or for the nation. It was for them. The life that they were to create was going to be born free. With that thought in his mind and in Jade's, he had taken the blanket off her bunk and had laid it on the floor. They had both taken their boots off and had sat down on the floor looking into each others eyes. With him removing his shirt, the mating process was to begin as he leaned into Jade's face and kissed her gently on her full lips. The fear that was sunk in the bottom of their stomachs pulled at them as he helped her out of her clothes and she his. The smell of her mocha brown body and black hair was still rived in his mind, the dimple on the side of her mouth, the gentle crease of bone showing where breastbone started, the soft mounds of her perfectly rounded breasts and buttocks that felt like warm cup of milk. Shadow had felt her hands trace over the muscles of his chest and scratch lightly the flesh on his back.

They intertwined their bodies together sensing the ancient rhythm of nature call out to them. The movement of his manhood inside of her womanhood moved under a force that Manticore could not contain, it was the glory of life itself within their passionately embraced bodies. The sound of Jade's heart as it beat inside of her lovely frame that he squeezed close to him as her knees locked around his frame to support her body during their lovemaking. The images of all their friends who had fallen in battle, who had died for causes that were not just, were not for pride, but for money and ambition. The child that they were conceiving was to be born free of this because at that moment they knew that there was to be a revolt. Freedom was to be theirs and for their children and their children's children for many generations to come. That was their plan as they both lay naked wrapped in Jade's blanket as her toes scratched across his leg. At that moment, they asked the Blue Lady to accept them as mates for life. The seeds for revolt were planted and freedom was the plan for them all.

All that changed with the fire. Now it was to find the others of their kind. He was not a religious person before but now he had started to believe in the Blue Lady increasingly as the days without Jade passed. He had prayed that Jade as alive somewhere with their child. One day he knew that this child they had conceived out of love, not duty, would be a force to be reckoned with. Like a story from ancient Greek mythology about a nymph who had a child that was greater than both her parents were.

Shadow hoped that one day his child would play with Hannah's and they would tell stories about the peaceful times that they had growing up. The sacredness of life, and that battle should only be done to protect those that cannot defend themselves. He just watched the scene with Hannah unfold out as he stuck his hand into the water and guided one of her children around in a long circle.

"Shadow, you look like you need a friend." Hannah said in her best Ordinary.

"Yeah I do." Shadow said as he guided the little female over to one of her brothers. "I was just thinking about Jade. The night of passion that we spent together prior to the fire and what we were planning on doing for all the mothers to be and their children."

"You were planning a revolt to save us all." Hannah said as she caressed one of her children.

"Yes, I was. Uh, Hannah you know that I can give you technology which will give you a voice that sounds like an Ordinary's." Hannah was taken back by Shadow's suggestion.

"You can. Then why are you bringing it up now?" Hannah was looking at Shadow with a growing suspicion that there was something brewing under the surface.

"Hannah, Max told me about the incident that you had with the fishing net and the entire strip club fiasco." Shadow said as he nudged one of Hannah's "girls" over to play with one of her sisters; who was now glad about having someone now to play tag with. "Given the way that things are going, I would believe that giving all the aquatics and other Transgenics the capability for normal speech. It cut down on the communications gap between our people."

"So, why do you want to do this?" Hannah said as one of her daughters yanked on one of her sister's tails that distracted her for a moment, as she had to discipline her children. "Vicky, stop picking on your sister Mischa, you know that she's more developed for land than you are. If you don't stop picking on her, I will have to take you out of the water and stick you in my drift bag." Hannah communicated to her daughter as she sunk under the surface and took her child in her hands and brought the little one to her face. Shadow looked at how Hannah handled the situation and it was better than the shock collars that Manticore had used to control various series of Transgenics through electrical shock.

"Well, you handled it better than our old masters did to us." Shadow said looking at Hannah as she came back to the surface. "The reason that I want to give you all vocal aids is so maybe that our all the kinds children our people have can play together without the communication gap we had as children."

"We didn't have a problem communicating when we were children. Did we?" The quizzical sea nymph's question came up.

"Yes and No Hannah. It would have been great just to talk- talk, not sign-talk. They were watching you when we were kids. But your songs helped keep me and Jade sane when we were growing up."

"You did the same for me and the others in the tanks." Hannah said with a grin on her face. "There is more to this world than I have ever dreamed and I want my children to grow up in it."

"Yes they will." Shadow said looking over towards Kyla and Nani. For the Transgenic and Ordinary communities, coexistence was a possibility but understanding would have to be established. That is when Logan showed up with Max and Melfina, but what had caught them off guard was that Matt Sung had come in along with Rain. Between the situations with the girl Kyla and with Rain's people, this was turning into a very strange week for them all.

***

Matt Sung was just staring at the scene before him. There were dozens of Transgenics in the room before him. Gene Roddenbarry, George Lucas, and Stan Winston would have eaten their hearts out at the sight of the creatures that Manticore had created. Between Shark-man, Aquaman and The Alantians, the Wolf man, Neo from the Matrix crew and the Vampire the Masquerade gang, Piermont Limpkin had just pissed off a serious group of people.

"So are you Matt Sung?" Said a blond cat-like girl who extruded street smarts and attitude like perfume. Not knowing how to respond to the situation, he just kept his reply as simple as possible.

"Yes I am." The face was familiar but he could not place where he had seen it.

"So Matt... Why don't you sit down and we will tell what we have planned to take care of some of the problems that have arose thanks to our mutual troublemaker, Piermont Limpkin." Logan said as he pulled up a chair and offered another one to Matt.

"Logan, are you sure that we can trust them." Matt said trying to figure out what the real motive was for all these mutants wanting to meet with him. Lady Chimera seemed only to be a kid and if she had hacking skills equivalent to Eyes Only, then why was Eyes going along with this.

"Yes you can trust us. Hell, Limpkin has forced several members of our community from their places of hiding and running from two groups out to kill us is making that much harder for us to find out who torched Command." A dark brown haired, one point seven meter tall Transgenic said as he moved away from the edge of a tank holding a woman with several economy sized tadpoles.

"What do you mean two groups?" Matt said as he tried to figure out the situation with these individuals.

"The group that torched Command was not S1W, but a completely different organization. Asha, the blond that is sitting by you, she can account for the locations of every member of S1W and supply them with alibis that check out." Matt just turned to the Asha as she was taken back by what was said.

"Shadow." She said as she attempted to defend herself from the exclamation of the facts.

"Asha he needs to know." Shadow said as he started moving nearer to her.

"I understand as long that this stays within the Informant Net." Asha said looking around towards Max and Logan trying to grasp for answers that were not present for her.

"The other group, that you were talking about is..."

"The group that torched command is some sort of eugenic cult with some seriously deep pockets. The other group which we are running from now happens to be a government sponsored retrieval slash termination squad with a psycho maniac running it. Ironically one of these groups has a member that is running a double sided game to fulfill their goals, and we are stuck in the crossfire."

"So in other words, Limpkin is forcing you guys to go on the defensive before you are ready." Matt said looking at the eclectic group that was before him. "Why haven't Eyes Only helped you out earlier?"

"The main reason that Eyes Only hasn't helped us out earlier is due to us running like mad from these forces. Eyes has had his preferable hands full in dealing with us being on the run and attempting to locate us." Melfina said as she moved over to her vampire friend who was standing next to a young girl in a wetsuit with gill slits in it.

"Most of them have been able to create functional identities over the past few months and have been able to keep their Asses out of trouble. Such as Shadow and his friends." Logan said adding information to Matt Sung's situation.

"So, the group that found Kyla happened to be members of your people that can breath underwater and Limpkin has put them on the run. Since he knows that creatures such as them DO NOT exist in nature, he has started to locate members of your community and has been torturing them to get a rough idea of where the ones that have Kyla are at." Matt said in his Readers Digest synopsis of the situation they were in with Limpkin.

"Yes. Since the murder victim that was dumped in front of the police station happens to be a member of Rain's community. Contacting Chimera and Eyes Only has become our only chance to get out of this mess enact." A long dark-haired Filipino-Amazon said as she moved over to Shadow.

"So you want to bring me in so that I can discover what Kyla's Dad was up to and give you a possible means to get out of this without spilling your location."

"Yes, any resources that we have for tracking him down have hit a dead end, if we can protect Kyla's dad from possible harm and reprisals from Limpkin. Then more the better the chances that when Limpkin is out of the way, we can go back into hiding." Shadow said looking into Matt's eyes not as a soldier, but as a person on the run that would choose his battles to fight. This was a battle, which he had to fight so that he could protect his people from harm. It was Chinatown all over again.

"Okay, I have a lead for you." Matt said as he got up from the chair and examined the group before him. "I'll only give it under the terms that your kind will not kill without provocation when Limpkin decides to show himself. Understood."

"We understand Sir. Please give us the information." Shadow said as he and the others nodded in agreement.

"Here is the information that I have." Matt Sung said as the group listened intently to what he had to say next.

***

The house was quiet with the dew and mist of an early morning. Joshua was sitting with his motto-cross helmet on his head on the back of Max's motorcycle. Max was not happy about the situation as it was but, given the circumstances, getting Limpkin out of the equation for now was of key concern. Matt Sung had given them one of Mr. Matthews old service revolver holsters, minus the gun so that they could track him down from the last address that they had on him. Joshua's canine sense of smell had allowed them to trace Matthews from his grandfather's cabin on the edge of the city, back through the various districts of Seattle until they found themselves at a group of abandoned warehouses. Aspen and Alec were following behind them in Shadow's car and the rest of the gang was sitting at Steinbeck's old Cannery making sure that Kyla was protected.

The old place smelled like the Basement during summer. Smelly as Hell. Alec and Aspen were following Max and Joshua throughout the structure finding tidbits of past habitation from previous transient residents. Nevertheless, the garbage of the past did not matter now, they were here to find out what would cause a father to go on the run and leave his daughter to such monsters. Joshua was as subtle as an eighteen-wheeler roaring down the aisle of a church during a wedding.

"Little fella" Joshua said as his tracking skills pushed his over seven foot tall frame towards the ground. "They are this way. Kyla's dad and a woman that smells like her."

"You mean that you found her mom and dad?" Max said as her black jumpsuit hung close to her frame as she tried to shake off the coldness of the situation.

"Yes." Joshua said as he moved his sniffing towards a corner sidewall were an argument was heard to be happening. Max and the rest of the group stopped and listened to it to find out who was talking.

***

"Johna, our child is being held by this maniac and is doing untold things to her." A woman's voice cried out as sobs could be heard.

"I know Margot, I know. However, Limpkin has bought out half of the department's IA people. Moreover, I don't know whom to trust? If Limpkin can get to me and grab Kyla, then Imagine what he will do if we don't work with him." The male voice said with a deep worry. This was a family in the deepest throes of a living hell that anyone could be placed in. Then there was a sneeze.

"Did anyone do that?" Max said to the group in a near whisper that only their finely tuned transgenic hearing could pick up then, as a collective shake of no flowed throughout all of them a shock of realization that they were not the only ones listening to the conversation. "If, it was none of us, then we have company coming." Max said as the image of a figure came into view with a gun.

"Are you sure that we should tell him that we do not have his kid anymore." Said one of the goons, who was attempting to adjust his overly large frame in his bright red jumpsuit that he was wearing.

"Nahh, as long as Mathews thinks that we have his kid, he do what we want him to do." Another one of the goons said with a sheer bluntness of spite before he knocked on the door to the offices where Johna and his wife were staying. "Hey Mathews, its your good pals out here why don't you be a nice gentleman and open the door for us." One of the men pounded on the door. Then Max and the crew had up and had it. If Limpkin wanted pain, well he was about to have it dished out on his ass in an industrial sized whopper of a spanking. With that, the four Transgenics showed up right behind the two goons just as the door opened. All that Johna saw as he opened the door was a blur of color then seeing two very large associates of Limpkin being thrown through the door headfirst. For several moments afterwards the scene was something out of a Kung Fu flick waiting for the other shoe to drop with the characters ready to strike another blow. Johna just stood there looking at the people before him.

***

"Who are you people?" Johna said trying to grasp the concept of what was occurring, Limpkin's men would kill his child and they had botched up his plan.

"Let's say, Kyla wants to see her mommy and daddy again and she asked us to locate you and pick the both of you up." said a young Latino woman in a black jumpsuit.

"Who sent you?" Said Margot as she looked around at the individuals who had just saved them from Limpkin's men from killing them. Then a dark blond athletic man with a sly face responded back to Margot's question.

"Eyes Only."

The calmness, which this was said, had unsettled both of them. Johna wanted proof from them whether or not his daughter was alive.

"Prove it?" Johna ordered to them as he started to move away and pick up one of the dropped thugs guns that lay on the floor. One of the women reached into her jacket, pulled out a cell phone, and dialed a number. The voice on the other side hit him like a ton of bricks followed by the oblivious grand piano.

"Hello." The voice said with youthful vigor. It took a moment to realize whom it was he was speaking to.

"Kyla???" Johna said as he turned to his wife who was starting to cry.

"Daddy. Is that you?"

"Yes darling, it is. Are you alright?"

"I'm alright, though I am playing a game of checkers with Nani. I think that she hates me because I have won three games already."

"So, have the people that you are with been treating you well?" Margot's maternal instincts kicked with full force.

"They have, but I like playing with Hannah's kids in the pool. They look kind of squirmy and icky at first though they love being fed Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches." Then Kyla paused on the phone. "I miss you, I want you to meet all the new friends that I have made."

"We will darling. We will." With that, the cell phone was handed back to the Amazon woman from whom it came. "We will go with you."

"Yeah, but I think we better put Coy and Bubba here someplace where they will not be coming after you for a while."

"Put them with Gossamer." Said the tall man in the motorcycle helmet. The look of an evil grin spread across the face of the Latino woman.

"Yes, Joshua. Lets put them with Gossamer." Then she turned towards the blond man. "Alec, I think you better get a few cans of fruit cocktail for us to use? It is time to go Tarantino on these guys Asses." In a little bit, the two thugs were tossed into the back trunk of the Neon. In the next few minutes the living nightmare these gentlemen had cause would be soon replaced by the idea of a very horny dinosaur that had slimed them inside of a minivan.

***

The image of the vegetarian dinosaur would be a story to tell Kyla about, though the idea of dumping two jars of fruit cocktail into the guys shorts and walking away and letting the screams begin were priceless. Max was just glad that payback was about to begin and Limpkin was to his just dues.

The scene was different for the two thugs as they witnessed a very horny, dinosaur with a sun flowered toothed mouth; start shredding their shorts in an attempt to bite their little soldiers off. Fat Cartman of South Park would be laughing his head off. Forget the wiener eating horse, forget the human chili, and forget the Cathy Lee Giffordzilla stomping people to death. This was revenge at its purest. However, the thought that after being cocooned in dino-slime, the idea of having this thing lay eggs in them and a day or two later little dinos would be bursting out of their chest made them scream all that more louder for their lives.

"I want you to call Gossamer into his little dog house before you call in the cops." Max said, as Johna just looked at the situation the open before him.

"Why don't you want me to call the Cops now." Said Murray, who ran the junkyard where Gossamer lived.

"We need these guys to squirm for a while so that we can nail their boss." Said Max, as she handed him the number for Logan's cell phone so it could be dialed.

"What is their boss doing that is so bad that deserves them being licked to death by old Gossie over there?" Murray said pointing over to the old abandoned bus where the men were chained up.

"Attempted murder, Murder, reckless endangerment of life, and just pissing me off for starters."

"Oh, if it was cruelty towards animals, I would have put a watermelon on them for good measure." The scruffy junkyard owner mentioned, as he walked back into his trailer to pour the liquid silicone he was making his living off into old milk jugs to sell at ten dollars a pound. Then later he would call the cops. Cha-ching

***

"You need therapy." Said Asha Barlow watching the five o'clock news on the projection television at the old cannery.

"I don't know what you were thinking but I ensure you that you definitely got the point across." Said Johna, as he looked the strange scene that opened up before him. His little girl was alive and was acting as a normal kid would. Though the thought of her playing with a sea nymph did make him wonder about the therapy bills he would receiving from the school counselors later on.

"Right now, what we need to do is make sure that you and your family are protected until you make your case to the District Attorney." Said Logan as he opened up his Laptop computer and brought up some of the files that Melfina had been able to retrieve from the police Mainframe.

"How did you get these?" Johna said as he looked at the documents before him.

"I kind of hacked into the police computer system and copied both the back up and trashcan files along with the revision log of the modifications." Melfina said as she was pulling out her tablet computer to check out the police leads. The technology that made up the primitive command center, which was effective for what, they needed to do for the next few hours. Send a message to Pierpont Lempkin, that his corruption of the police would end.

Margot just watched as she looked at Rain and Hannah just "talk" on one another as Logan, Mel and her husband started to reconstruct his computer files on the people he was investigating. The next few hours would lead to some very interesting stuff for them all as plans were set in motion to stop Pierpont Lempkin from hurting both the human and transgenic communities alike.
