THE GIRL FULL OF MYSTERIES

by loneranger

Chapter Six

The Network

____________________________

Leo snickered, watching MK crying over her mother's death. He laughed silently, watching her suffering, like that, it was what he called 'fun'. Taking one last look at MK through the window, he drove away, with a smile on his face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Frank, Callie's going to be discharged today" Joe said

"So?" Frank snapped

"Aren't you going to see her home or something?" Joe asked

"What ever for?"

"Never mind" Joe wanted to be on good terms with Frank, but all Frank does is snap at him or ignore him altogether.

Joe sighed, ' What ever happened to our family??!! Dad had gone searching for Mom, hoping he could persuade her to come back home while a criminal is trying to assassinate him. Callie had amnesia due to the accident. Callie can only remember me, Joe Hardy, but not her boyfriend, my brother, Frank Hardy. This makes Frank jealous and he stopped talking to me. Frank is not on good terms with me and Mom is not on good terms with Dad. My family really IS breaking apart! '

LEO spread the map out on the table. He turned to his right hand man and nodded.

"That's the place," Leo pointed to a small building on the map that was circled in blue ink. "What's the situation?"

"Havoc" his right hand man answered, "they're breaking apart, and it's worse than we expected, sir"

"The Shaw Girl wasn't supposed to get amnesia, but all for the better"

"I couldn't agree more, sir"

"Follow Plan A for the time being"

"Yes, sir"

"Tighten security"

"Why, sir?"

"Don't question my authority"

"Sorry, sir"

"The Shaw Girl, she'll be discharged from the hospital today, yes?"

"That's right, sir"

"Execute Operation GTH on The Shaw Girl"

"Operation GTH? sir?"

"Operation Go To Hell, yes"

"Now, sir?"

"Nope, in a few days time, I'll inform you when the time comes"

"Yes, sir"

"Any questions?"

"No, sir"

"Good, carry on the good job"

"Yes, sir"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The phone rang and MK picked it up.

"DeMontres residence"

"MK?"

"Gray Man?"

"Yes, it's me"

"Leo strikes again"

"It must be hard on you, being so far away when your mom died"

"Thanks, but I don't need your sympathy"

"The whole of Network feels sorry for you"

"Thanks, but I don't need your sympathy"

"What's up?" the Gray Man changed the subject

"My blood pressure"

"Where did you find the energy to make jokes?"

"My Mom died and the Network can do nothing, neither can the CIA nor Interpol nor the FBI! How do you think I feel??!!"

"I can explain what had happened, MK"

"Explanations are excuses,"

"I just want an update, MK"

"What do you want an update from me for? Doesn't THE NETWORK has enough sources already? Why are you calling me anyway? Checking up on me?"

"Busted" another voice came from the receiver

"Hey! Get off the phone!" Gray Man cried

"Is that Joker?" MK asked

"Yeah, it's Joker, baby" Joker answered

"Long time no see, or, in this case, hear" MK greeted, "Where are you?"

"I'm in Bayport, Planet Earth, Milky Way, baby" Joker answered

"You two are ignoring me!" Gray Man complained

"Do you want to have lunch with me, baby?" Joker asked

"Sure, why not?" MK agreed.

"What about me?" Gray Man asked

"Do your work" MK snapped

"I'll meet you at 1300 hours, baby" Joker set up the time

"I don't tolerate tardiness" MK warned

"No problem, see you, baby"

"See you" MK heard the extension cut off and hung up the phone

"MK?" Gray hoped MK hadn't hung up, but he doesn't get a reply, "Damn those two kids!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frank's P.O.V

What was that did MK said about Leo?

"He was wanted by the CIA, Interpol, FBI, the Network, the Assassins - "

That's it!

The Network is after Leo! But why would the Assassins want him for?

Maybe I should try calling the Gray Man. I managed to get through to the Gray Man.

"Gray, this is Frank Hardy" I started

"What's going on, Frank?" Gray asked

"You know what's wrong" I replied, "you know very damn well what's going on"

"OK, so I DO know, so what is it that you want?"

"Tell me about this Leo guy"

"Leo?"

"Yes, and don't even try telling me you know nothing of him"

"OK, so I DO know,"

"Where is he?"

"That, I don't know"

"You should have at the very least know something"

"He's dangerous, and will do anything and everything to get what he wanted" Gray said, "it was foolish of the CIA to let your father on the case"

"Foolish? More like the mistake of the century!"

"Look, Frank, don't go looking for Leo, please?"

"No amount of begging will stop me from doing what I want to do"

"I'm not begging!"

"Yes you are"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"The both of you are just like kids" another voice said

"Who's that?" I asked

"Joker! Stop eavesdropping, will ya?!" Gray cried

"Man, you're cramming my style," Joker complained

"I thought you're on a date with that demon girl" Gray said

"Hey! Don't call her that!" Joker warned, "she's nice, you know"

"Who is 'that demon girl'?" I asked

"None of your business" Joker said

"You're going to be late, Joker" Gray looked at his watch

"I'll go now" Joker went

"Tell me, who's that demon girl" I insisted

"I'm sure you know MK DeMontres?"

"What does she have to do - " that was when I realised something

"Frank? you OK?"

"The Network knows about MK?"

"OOPPSS"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I don't tolerate tardiness, hah!" Joker muttered under his breath

"Sorry, Joker, I can't find my harmonica, that's all" MK had been late and apologised

"Get in and start playing already"

"OK" MK obliged, Joker was like her big brother, caring about his little sister

"Let's go"

"Where?"

"I found this interesting place" Joker listened to MK playing her harmonica, she has the gift, but she plays only when she is down, Joker can't understand her.

AHA! I've been reading Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix. I think it's too fast paced, but it's interesting. My fav chapter will be Snape's Worst Memory. I just like that part...

Please review, thanks
