Chapter Five

As everyone got their stuff from the conveyer belt, they then got into Tomax's car, that he had left at the airport. Before he and Xamot went to Extensive Enterprises, and drove off for the Foster home.

On a road to the Foster House…

"Who are…" Tomax said.

"…you…" Xamot said.

"…really?" Tomax and Xamot say together talking to Flint.

Flint said, "Ask Bobby, he now understand who I am and what I have become? Living in the normal world for over twenty years when I left Cobra at the age of 14. No mother to care for me, no father to father me for adult advice. It was hard, but I learned to survive by myself!"

Lady Jaye said in a sad voice, "I know how it feels, not to have a father. My mother divorced my dad when I was very young. I don't even remember what he looks like, or anything of my past since third grade. All I see in my past are two young boys that I used to play with somewhere, by a lake, but the funny thing is, there is no lake where my mom lives near. And a female adult of some sort, hitting me in a classroom, with a ruler, in one of the schools that I attended. I think she was a teacher."

"What do you mean?" Flint asks. "Someone used to hit you. Do you know who it was? Did you tell someone at the time that it happened at the time?"

Lady Jaye said, "I don't remember it was a long time ago. I think I was either in first or second grade when it happened."

Bobby said, "I remember sitting in a classroom, one day, with my twin brother Dave, and a girl I believe her name was Alice. My first grade teacher Ms. Baron, that was what I called her when I first met her, now called her by her real name the Baroness. Came to Alice and hit her numerous times in different places with a ruler. Do you think you could be that girl, do you think that you could be a Cobra like me?"

Lady Jaye said, "I don't know. All I want to know is who I am, where I come from, and where I belong. I just wish I could remember, but I can't! It was so long ago."

Just then, a gentleman, with a patch over one eye, is walking on the street next to Tomax's car, which is stopped by a red light. The gentleman sees Tomax, Xamot, Bobby and two other people in the car. He walks up to the car and looks inside it as they are stopped at a traffic light.

He said as to himself, as he looks at the young lady in the car. Lady Jaye looks just like her mom did back then. Bonnie? It can't be. But she looks just like her. I have to stop and ask who she is?

Major Bludd said, through the window of the car, "Excuse me miss, but you look just like my ex-wife, Bonnie, that left me 30 years ago, but you can't be her can you, could you?"

Lady Jaye looks at the stranger and said, "My mom's name is Bonnie, but I'm sorry to say that I can't say where she is right now. I haven't seen her in about two years. I was going to the last address that she lived at when I boarded a plane that lead me here instead."

He looks at her again and looks at resemblance between his ex-wife and this beautiful lady standing before him. He has to find out her name. "Can I at least ask you your name?"

Lady Jaye said her name, "Alice Hart Bernette." Tomax then drove off as the traffic light changed from red to green.

Major Bludd is stunned, he thinks he has found is long lost daughter that that bitch of a wife of his had taken from him so long ago. I can't believe that I have finally found my daughter, and now that I found her I won't let her go. He said to himself.

Flint decided now is the best time to strike the Pitt; he takes out the remote detonator, from his briefcase, and starts pressing all kinds of buttons on the remote.

Bobby asks, "What's that you have there?"

Flint said with a disgusting taste developing in his mouth, "Lets just say that G I Joe is no more!"

Tomax said, "What do you …"

Xamot said, "…mean by…"

Tomax and Xamot together say, "…G I Joe is no more?"

Flint said, "Watch the news and find out."

Pitt

Shipwreck walked near some of the Skystrikers, when he heard a loud boom that just came from behind him.

"Mother of Mercy, what was that?" He said, while turning around, and noticed that several Skystrikers he had just walked past had blown-up right behind him. He then notices that several other vehicles had also exploded behind him. He decided to go to Duke's and lets him know.

When he gets to Duke's office, he knocks on the door. Duke is in his office doing some paper work and hears a knock on the door.

Duke said, "Who is it? I am very busy, right now. If it's not important, then go away!"

Shipwreck said behind the closed door, "Sir, it's me, Shipwreck. I have some thing to tell you."

Duke stops what he is doing, and said, "It had better be," putting an emphasis on the word really. "Really important, Shipwreck?"

Shipwreck said, "Believe me, sir, this is really important. I have to talk to you."

Duke said behind the closed door, "Come in, Shipwreck and have a seat and tell me what is it you wanted to tell me?"

Shipwreck opened the door and entered Duke's office and sat down in a chair in Duke's desk. And he started to say, "I was walking outside, near some Skystrikers, when all of a sudden from out of nowhere there came a…" Just as he was about to finish the sentence he was interrupted by another loud boom and Shipwreck didn't get to finish the sentence.

A series of bombs inside the male barracks goes off. Duke and Shipwreck left the office, to find out what's going on.

They headed toward the male barracks to find the building was totally demolished.

Duke said, "Does anyone know if anyone was in there?"

Breaker said, "No one, that I know of."

Duke said, "Check the perimeter for Cobra agents. It has to be Cobra!"

Breaker said, "Already checked that, sir. No Cobra agents in the vicinity."

Duke returned to his office, and said in a sad voice, into the G I Joe intercom from his office, "Attention all Joes, I have some very sad news for you all… until we find out what had happened here. I'm afraid that I have no choice, but to disband G I Joe and abandon the Pitt. Since there is nothing left of the male barracks, the men that lost all of their gear will be given government checks to pay for their stuff that was destroyed, and can leave. The lady's can go into the female barracks and retrieve their gear and leave. Until you hear from me again. The G I Joe team is disbanded! Yo Joe! Duke out."

A couple of hours later In Cobraville

Outside The Foster House

Just as everyone gets out of the car, Flint said to himself. Home at last. I just hope they remember me.

Flint decides to tell them who he is. "I have something to tell you all. First of all I am a Cobra agent. I was born into Cobra but left when I was at the right young age of 14. My name isn't really Dashelle either its David… David Foster…"

A look of shock appeared on everyone's face. Including Lady Jaye's. Bobby is the first to speak, "Brother?!"

David said, "Yes, Bobby, I am your long lost brother that left you so long ago."

"I'm so sorry how I acted, toward you back then. I hope we can start a new and be the best friends as well as brothers again, like Uncle Tomax and Xamot are. Are you back to stay this time? Did you find her?"

"Whoa, one question at a time. First of all, I have forgiven you for what happened against us a long time ago. All I wanted to do was come home and make up with you. But I had to find that young lady that we were both in love with way back when. So far no, I have not found her. I thought I was close to finding her when I was in college, but I am not sure where she is now. She dumped me and jilted me when I asked her out so many times in my college years for her to go out with me, so I just stopped asking women out all together. And I also hoped to make up for the difference in the years that we have been apart."

"How were you able to destroy G I Joe?" Bobby asked.

Flint answered, "How I destroyed G I Joe was the simplest thing I can think of. Join G I Joe, get their trust, and then at the least possible moment strike when their defenses were down. While I was there I stumbled into an experimental project that they were working on. Experimental microscopic bombs, so microscopic that nothing can detect them, not even a microscope. So after I dropped her off." Pointing to Lady Jaye, "at the airport, I went back to the Pitt, got the bombs from the weapons supply room, and planted them all around the base, all rooms, then left the Pitt never to return again. Drove back to the airport and boarded a plane back to Cobraville."

Tomax said, "You know you will be given a heroes welcome. When news spreads that the Joe have been disbanded and by one man."

David said, "I know that, but I do not want a heroes welcome all I want is to be accepted back into Cobra."

Bobby said, "And I am sure that you will be brother."

Bobby puts his hand on Flint's shoulder he can tell that his brother is a little nervous. "Don't worry Dave, about mom and dad. They are really great people."

Bobby said, "I want to even forget about our childish bet we made back then."

Lady Jaye said, "What bet?!"

Flint speaks, "When we were fourteen, we made a bet that the first person to find the girl we were in first grade with, and marry her would win the bet."

Lady Jaye said confused, "I'm very confused. You two are brothers? And you are related to Tomax and Xamot?"

Bobby and David said, "Yes."

Inside the Foster house

Bobby's mother is busy cooking dinner. When she hears voices coming from outside. She looks out the window and sees Bobby, Tomax, Xamot, and two other people talking. "Dave, come quick! You have to take a look at this."

David Senior is busy looking at his paper.

Bobby's mother said, "What is it, dear, can't you see that I am reading the newspaper?"

"Bobby is back and so are my brothers. But there are two other people, with them, a man and a woman."

He said, "What? Let me see."

He gets up and goes to the window. He notices his son, and then he notices someone else. He looks at him again and said, "It can't be, can it?" He looks at the other guy again. "It is? He's finally returned."

His wife said, "Who has returned?"

David Senior said, "David, he's back."

His wife begins to cry, "Davie, my Davie has returned? You sure that's him? He's changed so much."

David senior said, "I think Bobby knows too. But let's not mention it until we are definitely sure."
