Chapter 20
The week went on and nothing really important happened. On Saturday, me and Sam were discussing what to do with the money. I said food, Sam said clothes. We both came to an agreement and bought a bit of each. I went cheap with the food and bought us lots of cheap food to last us a week. Sam got us each some pants and some shirts. Baggy, of course. I got a dragon set, and sam got a skull set. You know, button-up shirts and baggy pants. And some black t-shirts. We were good for a week or so.
That day, before the next reconnaisance mission, we cleaned up the shack some more, so it actually looked livable. We also uncovered our secret stash of weapons, and found that we had two hand-held dracon beam weapons. We were pretty surprised, both of us had forgotten about them. Along with them, we found our swords, daggers, and katana's. We hid them elsewhere, and really hid the dracon beams.
We were hoping we wouldn't need them any time soon, for reasons of cover.
{Hi guys.} Tobias said as he swooped in. {Just thought I would tell you that we were in fact going in tonight. At eight.}
"Good to hear." I said. "We were hoping to have a mission." Jake had told us that we were going to be on standby. Rachel didn't know this, but Tobias had told him about the death threat, and Jake had plans. He was going to turn into a flea and ride around on Rachel's back while she was investigating. Just to be safe.
"So, we will be attending this meeting?" Sam asked. He hadn't been informed yet.
"Yeah, Jake wants us to be there this time, but far away, for cover. He is thinking a fight this time. Rachel has apparently decided to with- hold a death threat issued by Visser Three. Jake is worried and wants us there, but not in morph, just for cover." I told him.
"He wants me there?"
{Yes,} Tobias answered for me. {Our resident computer whiz is going to shut out the lights in that area if anything goes wrong.} so that's why the lights were out. Not that I would give any info revealing that I was there.
"Yes, Jake even wants you there. Jake is really touchy right now, and really believes that there will be conflict. So we will all be on duty. He thinks that maybe you could help us understand the situation more. Maybe the Visser will release some info that we don't understand."
{Yeah, so we need you. Jake is REALLY nervous. He needs all of our support.} Tobias explained, saying nothing more than I said. {So please, don't mention any of this to Rachel. She told me and only me about the death threat, so she was kind of trusting me. I was worried and told Jake anyway. You can see where I was coming from.} he urged.
"Okay, I can feel your pain. I will help, as long as Jake recognizes the talent." Sam said.
"I will make sure he does." I told him. I rolled my eyes. Sam was completely arrogant regarding his telekinesis.
"So you don't think I can do much with telekinesis now?" Sam asked, almost like reading my mind.
"How'd you know?" I asked, hoping he couldn't actually read my mind.
"I can read your face. I took some psychology classes. I can tell you are sick of hearing about my telekinesis. But in reality, you are jealous because you can't do it." That was the problem. He was absolutely right. I never really thought about it, but I was kind of extremely jealous. "Watch."
He cocked his head to the side and his eyes glowed. I could see what he was doing. A 2x4 board was picked up out of nowhere, and hovered in front of me. Sam raised his hand and the board levitated upward. Then is started uncontrollably beating me in the ass. I tried to stop it, but my strength was nothing compared to the hovering board. It pissed me off.
"Come on," I said, "Not fair." I got really angry and glared at him. He dropped the board in a fit of laughter. Tobias started laughing too.
Sam let out a few last guffaws, and stopped. "What do you think I have been doing all week. You aren't here, so I practice. That and martial arts. You know. I get bored, so I practice. It's not like I can go to a movie or anything. I am stuck there with the animals. I keep myself busy." He reached into his shirt pocket and picked out two pairs of really cool sunglasses. "We're set for effect." He tossed me a pair.
Mine were, of course, dragons. The frames were black and blue. The lenses had a hologram of dragon eyes. The sides were a sketching of a blue dragon on the black background. They were pretty cool, but Sam's were cooler. His was Red flames on black background. His had a skull hologram in the lenses. I put them on. You could see through the lenses like they weren't even holograms, so they were cool. Both frames were like plastic, but were metal. Pretty cool.
"Those set me back about 25 bucks a piece, so treat them with care." Sam said.
{What are you? The Men In Black?} Tobias asked.
