Silky Doll
Priss was sitting on the couch holding Andrew and Lilly when Nene came running in and sat next to her.
"Its about time." Syila said.
"Sorry." Nene said. "Where is Linna and Josh?"
"Josh broke his leg in the quake they are at the hospital and will be here as soon as they can." Syila said.
"So why did you call us here?" Priss asked.
"We are going after GENOM." Syila said.
"I can't." Priss said not with the twins.
"Nigel, Mackey and Josh will be here." Syila said.
"Ok I'm in." Priss said as she pulled her hair out of Lilly's hand.
"I don't thing this is a good idea we haven't had any run ins with GENOM yet. We don't know their security protocol." Nene said.
"Well you have until 8:00 tonight to hack into their data base and learn all you can." Syila said. "So I suggest you get started."
Nene stood up and walked into the elevator and took it down to the pit. She sat at the computer and started running her hacking programs. Mackey walked up behind her with a cup of coffee and set it down on the desk.
"I think you'll need this." He said.
"Oh thank you sweetie." Nene said and gave him a quick kiss. "I am a little existed."
"Well who wouldn't be after the show we put on." Mackey said.
"Ok I didn't need to hear that." Priss said as she walked past them and grabbed something out of her locker.
"Oh hi Priss." Nene said.
"So what was shaking more? The floor or the bed?" Priss asked.
"The bed." Nene and Mackey said.
"That's what I thought." Priss said with a shutter and walked back into the elevator.
Nene giggled and Mackey snickered as they watched the doors close then they burst into laughter.
Linna and Josh got out of the car and walked into the building. Syila was sitting on the floor with Rosemary, Andrew and Lilly all wanting to play.
"Keeping busy I see." Linna said as they walked into the living room.
"Yep." Syila said as Lilly grabbed a lock of hair.
Linna sat on the floor next to Syila and took Lilly. Josh sat on the couch and picked up Andrew.
"Hey buddy." Josh said as he looked at the baby.
"So what's the situation?" Linna asked.
"We are going after GENOM tonight at 8." Syila said. "Nene is hacking into the dada base right now.
"Is everyone going?" Linna asked.
"Everyone but the men." Syila said. "But they will be plenty busy."
"What do you mean?" Josh asked.
"You three have the most important job of them all. You get to watch the kids." Syila smiled as she say the look on Josh's face.
"I'm not doing dippers." Josh said.
"Oh you'll be fine." Linna said. "Beside you need to get into practice if we are gonna start a family soon."
"I'll feed and give them baths but you got dipper duty." Josh said.
"Your gonna help." Linna said.
"I'd rather go into battle against Boomers in my boxers." Josh said.
"Oh that's a pretty picture." Linna laughed.
"That's not what you said yesterday." Josh smiled.
"Your right I said NO!!" Linn laughed.
"That was low." Josh said.
"Ooohhh I'm sorry." Linna teased.
"You never were a good liar." Josh said.
"But I'm a good lover right?" Linna asked.
"Hummm. Very good." Josh said and kissed her.
"Hey you two there are children present." Syila said.
"So." Linna said.
"Your point being?" Josh asked.
"You guys are sick." Syila laughed and stood up. "I think its time Miss. Rosemary has something to eat."
"Hey what about us?" Linna yelled.
"I'll make you a bottle too if you want one." Syila laughed as she walked into the kitchen.
"Smart ass." Linna whispered under her breath.
Syila came out of the kitchen with Rosemary in her arms and three bottles in her hand. She handed one to Linna and the other to Josh.
"Oh very funny." Linna said.
"I thought so." Syila laughed as she sat down on the floor.
"What time is it?" Linna asked.
"11:35." Josh said looking at his watch.
"We got some time." Syila said. "I want all of us to be well rested for this mission. I don't know what will happen."
"Well thin I want to go get some rest." Linna said looking at Josh.
"Yea right if you two go a room the last thing on your mind is rest." Syila laughed.
"Well its still relaxing." Linna said as she handed Syila Lilly.
Josh set Andrew next to Syila and stood up. They slowly walked down the hallway and into the first room.
"I am a bit tired." Josh said as he sat on the bed.
"Yea me too." Linna said flopping on the bed.
Linna rolled over and looked into Josh's eyes.
"Thank you for saving me." She said and kissed him.
"Your welcome." Josh said. "By the way that's 3 times now."
"Its 3-1 I know." Linna said and rolled back over and closed her eyes.
Nene worked for hours on end trying to find a backdoor into the GENOM computer.
"Any luck?" Syila asked as she walked up behind her.
"No nothing yet." Nene said starching and rubbing her eyes.
"Its 4:00 you only have 4 hours and you need to get some rest." Syila said.
"I'm gonna try for another hour then I'm gonna go get some sleep." Nene said as she got back to work.
Syila headed back up to the living room where Nigel and Mackey were sitting watching TV.
"Any progress?" Mackey asked.
"No nothing yet." Syila said as she walked past them. "I'm gonna go get some rest before the mission."
"Ok we'll wake you up at 8:00." Nigel said.
Syila walked down the hallway and past the room where Linna and Josh were sleeping. As she walked past the room she heard voices and curiosity got the best of her and she pressed her ear to the door.
"I just have a bad feeling about this." Josh said sitting on the bed.
"I know but its my job I've got to go." Linna said as she sat next to him.
"I'd just feel better if I was going with you that way I could protect you if anything happens." Josh said.
"Nothing is gonna happen." Linna said. "And even if something does I've got the others with me."
"I know but still." Josh said.
Syila lifted her ear from the door and continued down the hall and into her room. She changed into her nightgown and crawled into bed with Josh's words ringing in her ears.
'just feel better if I was going with you that way I could protect you if anything happens' "Nothing is gonna happen." Syila told herself and fell asleep.
Four hours later
Linna and Priss were getting into their suits as Nigel prepped the launcher. Nene and Syila were standing at the computer going over the only blueprints Nene could come up with.
"Well it looks like we can get in from the roof." Syila said as she looked at the blueprints.
"Yea I think we can and the CEO's office is just down the hall." Nene said.
"Ok then that's where we are gonna hit it. Once we're in its up to you Nene to get into the computer and find out if they are behind the quake." Syila said. "Nigel are you ready?"
"Yea I'm ready." Nigel said.
"Ok then lets go." Syila said and walked into the launcher.
Nene and Priss followed right behind her. As Linna was walking to the launcher Josh put his hand on her shoulder. Linna turned around and looked into his eyes.
"What is it?" She asked.
"I just want you to be careful." Josh said.
"I will." Linna said and put her arms around him.
They stood there for a moment until Linna pushed away.
"Their waiting on me." She said.
"Ok good luck." Josh said.
Linna walked into the launcher and Nigel pressed the launch button. Linna and the others launched from the Silky Doll and into the air.
"Ok we'll be at the GENOM tower in a few minutes be ready for anything." Syila said.
"I hope these new suits Nigel made work as well as he says they do." Priss said.
"They were modeled after Josh's suit exactly and you've seen them in action." Linna said as her hand touched the sword at her side.
The GENOM tower came into view as they talked about the new suits.
"Ok get ready there is the tower." Syila said.
Silky Doll
Josh and Nigel headed back up to the living room where Mackey was sitting with the three babies.
"Are they gone?" Mackey asked.
""Yea their gone." Nigel said as he picked up Rosemary.
"Now all we have to do is wait for them to come back." Josh said.
"Its best not to think about it." Mackey said. "Time seems to go by slower if you do."
"So Josh are you and Linna planning on having kids?" Nigel asked.
"Yea we are." Josh said.
"When?" Nigel asked.
"Well we've already started." Josh said.
"Oh I see." Nigel said looking at Mackey. "And so have you two I take it."
"Oh yea." Mackey laughed.
"You guys are gonna love being fathers it's the greatest." Nigel said looking at Rosemary.
GENOM building
Priss and Linna landed on the roof first with Syila and Nene right behind them.
"Ok the access hatch should be right over there." Nene said pointing to the corner of the building.
Priss walked up to the hatch and tried to lift it.
"It won't budge." She groaned as she tried to lift it.
"Well use your knuckle bomb." Syila said.
"I was trying to be quiet." Priss said.
"That's a first." Linna laughed.
"Whatever." Priss said and armed her Knuckle bomb.
She slammed her fist into the hatch with a loud bang and the hatch exploded.
"That worked." Syila said looking at the hole in the roof. "Ok lets go."
As they dropped into the building the heard the sound of alarms sounding.
"I guess they heard us." Nene said.
"Yea thanks to Priss." Linna said.
"Hey it wasn't my idea." Priss argued.
"We don't have much time lets go." Syila said and ran down the hall to the CEO's office.
Syila opened the door and ran inside expecting to see a boomer or two but it was empty. Nene ran to the computer and started looking for anything on the earthquake.
"I'm sure they know where we are by now so where are they?" Priss asked looking down the hallway.
"I don't like it." Syila said.
"Trap?" Linna asked.
"I think so." Syila said. Nene wrap it up were leaving."
"But I haven't found anything yet," Nene said.
"I don't care we're leaving now." Syila said.
Nene pulled her spy program from the computer and was about to load her virus she brought along when a voice came from the computer.
"I know what your looking for." The voice said.
"What the hell where did that voice come from?" Priss asked looking around.
"Your brave but foolish. You have no idea what you have gotten yourselves into." He said.
"Who are you?" Syila asked.
"I'm not the one you should be concerned about its what is coming your way." He said and started laughing.
As he was laughing the floor started to shake.
"I don't like this." Priss said.
"Lets get the hell out of here." Syila yelled and they all headed for the doors. Priss and Syila ran into the hall followed by Nene and Linna.
"Oh shit I forgot the spy program." Nene said,
"Leave it." Syila yelled as they ran down the hall.
"I cant it has my fingerprints on it." Nene yelled.
"I'll get it." Linna said and turned around.
Linna ran back into the office and to the computer. She grabbed the disk and headed for the door. As she headed into the hall the floor caved in right in front of her and several Boomers emerged.
"Oh shit." Linna yelled as she stopped and dodged a right hook from a boomer.
"Linna!" Priss yelled and ran back down the hall.
"Priss stop there are to many of them." Linna yelled.
"But what about you?" Priss asked.
"I'll find another way out." Linna yelled as she threw the spy disk to Priss. "And take this to it wont be any use to me there are to many." She said and tossed Priss her sword and sheath. "If I don't make it out give it to Josh and tell him I'm sorry."
"Linna don't say that. Priss said.
"Just go." Linna yelled and ran back into the CEO's office. 'Right out the window.' She thought.
She was about to ram the window when a medal barrier slammed down around the windows.
'Oh shit now what?' She thought and turned around.
She was quickly surrounded by the boomers with no way out. A tear rolled down Linna's cheek as she realized she was about to die.
"Priss I'm not gonna make it out I'm surrounded." She said into her head set.
"I'm coming back." Priss said.
"No you'll only get yourself killed." Linna said. "I was fun wail it lasted. Tell Josh I love him and I'll always be with him."
"Linna no." Priss said starting to cry.
"Goodbye." Linna said.
The next thing Priss and the others heard was the sound of gunfire and Linna let out a long scream then all was silent.
