A/N: sorry for the wait y'all. I have no good excuse, just being lazy I
guess. I did just get a job though, but I don't work a whole lot of hours.
Anyway...

Aya was furious with herself when she found her way back to her own apartment. She had failed to even mention the condition of Pierce and Logan. Aya stopped her thinking for a moment. "His name is Samuel now," she whispered to herself. "I have no past with Samuel Logan." Saying this was only denial, but for now it put her mind at ease. She would get on the phone as soon as she got inside.
She turned the doorknob, and it wouldn't budge. She then remembered that she no longer had her keys. This she didn't understand. They let her keep her badge, but not her keys. She pounded on her door. No response. "Hey, it's only me!" She called. There was the sound of light steps approaching. The locks were unlatched, and then Melissa Pearce opened the door.
"What happened?" Melissa instantly asked.
"I'll get back to that question in a moment." Aya pushed past Melissa, and headed to her kitchen, where the phone was. Something stopped her on her way. She had walked past Eve's room. Eve was balled up in a corner, humming to herself. Aya walked in, and stood staring for a minute. Melissa walked in behind her.
"She won't move. She won't tell anyone what happened." Melissa informed Aya.
"Where did you guys find her?"
"We found her in an alleyway. She was surrounded by a few corpses, all burnt to a crisp. My guess is that someone took a flamethrower to those men as she watched. Physically she is in perfect health."
Aya got down to her knees, in front of Eve. She pulled Eve up and gave her an extended hug. Aya knew too well what had happened. Eve was pushed to her limit, and an inner power she withheld was released. Eve squirmed out of the hug and moved to a different corner. Aya sighed and got up. "I have to make a phone call."
She entered the kitchen, and dialed directly to the head office of MIST headquarters. Rutgers answered the phone. "What is it Aya?" He obviously had a caller ID.
"I need to tell you..."
"...about Pierce?" Rutgers finished her sentence.
"How'd you know?" Aya asked.
"He got into a heavy highway wreck up North. He had some bad injuries, but I doubt any of them came from the wreck. There was also another man in the back of the jeep he was riding. This guy had 2 bullets in his back and was nearly paralyzed."
"The man's name is Samuel Logan. Is Pierce gonna be ok?"
"I don't know that. He has sustained a fractured skull, and has lost a lot of blood. I'll check out Logan's file." There was a pause, when nothing but the sound of typing could be heard. John began speaking again. "I found two on file which live in the LA area. One is a 65-year-old mechanic, and the other is a 33-year-old man who has been missing for 7 months. I can't help but wonder which man we are talking about."
"Never mind that. Don't let him out of your sight. He is vital to this case."
"Aya, you don't realize that this case is none of our business. It's not our department."
"These are Golem Soldiers!" Aya yelled into the phone.
"I know. Pierce informed us of that before he passed out. Nevertheless, the Golem Soldiers are a group of terrorists. We are not made to handle terrorists."
Aya thought quickly. "I saw a mitochondria creature. Ask Pierce or Samuel, they both saw it. There is a chance they have many more."
Rutgers sighed, and then took a long pause before responding. "Ok, I'm going to head down to LA General. Meet me there. It's where Samuel Logan is being held and questioned." Rutgers hung up.
Aya hung the phone up, and headed back to Eve's room. Eve was in the corner she was in before, now apparently sleeping. Aya got down next to her and shook her. Eve tried to crawl away, but Aya caught her. "Eve, please. Please tell me you will be okay. I have to leave. I promise I'll be back as soon as I can." Eve wouldn't respond. "Melissa," Aya looked to the doorway where Melissa stood. "Can you please stay here?"
"No," Melissa said quickly. "I'm going to the hospital too. I was listening in on the phone in your bedroom."
"I need you to stay here."
"Aya, you don't understand. I have to know what's going on too. If you don't remember, I was in the middle of the last incident involving these people. I had tried to kill all of mankind. I must know what is going on."
Aya nodded reluctantly, and turned her attention back to Eve. "Please say you'll be alright." Eve pushed away, and moved under her bed. Aya closed her eyes, a tear rolling down her cheek.

Samuel Logan was surrounded in his private room at the hospital. There were 2 agents from the terrorist division of the FBI, John Rutgers and another MIST agent named Carl Lopez. There were also a couple of men from the California Highway Patrol. These two men were just trying to learn about the car accident.
Aya and Melissa entered the room, to hear Logan making several references to the old television show, CHiPs. It wasn't helping that one of the men had a resemblance to the character of "Ponch Poncherelli."
The patrolmen got tired and gave up on the investigation, and walked out. Melissa stopped Aya, and whispered into her ear. "Is that him?"
Aya nodded. The only time Melissa and Samuel have ever met was when he was still named "Logan Samuels" and he was dying to a severe intoxication. It was also the time Melissa was freed from the evil spirit of Mitochondria Eve for the second time.
"Aya! Melissa!" Samuel yelled out. "Oh, it's been a long time Melissa. Not so long for you Aya." He leaned forward in his bed, and this caused him a rush of pain, so he gently laid back down.
"I can't get a word out of him Aya. You have a past with him, you try." John walked over to her and nudged her forward.
"I'm sorry, I have no history with Samuel Logan." Aya responded.
"Oh that hurts!" Samuel yelled out loud, and then grasped his chest with his right hand, pretending to have heart failure. "I've been shot twice in the last 24 hours, but that is really painful." He began laughing hysterically.
Aya turned to John. "How did you know we had a history," she whispered in his ear.
"What's that?" Logan yelled out. "It's hard to hear you when you whisper." This made Melissa and the other agents in the room laugh outloud.
"What is it what you want from me?" Aya yelled at him.
"I want you to help me." Logan, for the first time, began sounding serious. "I want my revenge. I had been locked up for seven damn months. You can help me get back at him. I want to kill him. I know where he is."
"We have located the building you escaped from. We already know where the terrorists are." An agent informed.
Logan laughed outloud. "He knows you know where the shelter is. Do you actually expect him to be there. That place has been abandoned by now."
"Where would he go?" Carl spoke up. "Are you saying there is yet another shelter?"
"Well, you have found 3 shelters so far. What makes you think that there aren't more? I know of 3 more you don't know about in the United States. There are about 14 in the world. So that is 3 you know of, and three more I know of. All in the U.S. That means there are 8 more on other continents. Plus, you have done something very bad." Logan specifically looked at Aya.
"What? What did I do?" Aya said.
Samuel chuckled to himself. "You pissed off the greatest leader of the Golem Soldiers ever to come to order. That building was basically the main headquarters for all communication between every base. He now had to destroy the building and head to another place."
"What about mitochondria," Melissa asked.
"I'm done talking." Logan turned his away. "You guys are obviously not letting me go with you, so you're all on your own. Have a good day."
"It's against the law to withhold evidence." An anti-terrorist agent spoke outloud.
"Then send me to jail, I'll be a lot safer than any of you there. Now leave, or I'll call security."
