A/N: AAAAAAAAAAH! One reviewer want Suzan to survive and the other want to see Sarah survive! I've decided to make a compromise…

Chapter 13: The end of some old friends, the end of an enemy…

This was a catastrophe. Only Nathaniel was safe. The others were in great danger. Each one could survive…or die. Foster was completely shocked when he learned that the technician who was working with him was dead. He was one of his best friend…Suzan too is one of his best friend and there were chances that she dies too…And Sarah…well…he preferred to not think about this…Foster wasn't the only one who was worried…everyone were worried…even Trent Easton…but not exactly for the same reasons. He was afraid that someone would recognize him so Foster lent him his sunglasses. Jonathan was gnawing his nails. It wasn't an habit he had before…him too, was incredibly worried… Velvet sighed.

"I feel so bad for Siegfried and the two people from Datadyne. They just wanted to be nice with us and they get shot", said Velvet.

"You cannot feel as guilty as me", replied Jonathan.

"Why are you feeling more guilty than the others", asked Velvet.

"I think that…if…if I wasn't drunk yesterday…I could have go to the institute this morning and I would have shot those bastards with my beloved magnum", responded Jonathan as he looked at the floor.

"That's true…you could have saved them…but you could have been shot too, and killed", commented Velvet.

"Jonathan, you shouldn't feel guilty. It wasn't your fault", said Joanna.

"It think that…if…if I would have listened to Sarah's advice…to not take alcohol with those stupid medics…she would be alright now…", said Jonathan to himself.

"Jonathan, stop this. It isn't you fault", replied Joanna.

"I think that if…if I would give to Grimshaw the Saturday off like he wanted sooner, he would be alright right now", said Jonathan.

"JONTHAN! SHUT UP! THIS ISN'T YOUR FAULT!", shouted Joanna.

"Yeah…the lady's right. And if you really want to feel guilty, feel guilty when they will all be dead, not now", replied Trent Easton.

Everyone looked at him with a look that simply means 'shut up you stupid'. Trent noticed them and decided that he was better look at the floor and don't say anything else.

"You don't have any idea how it feels. How it feels…to be responsible of an institute where all the employees are dying", murmured Jonathan.

"Jonathan, I think that you need to take a walk…it always make me forget my problems", suggested Joanna.

"I don't think this disaster could be forgotten in any ways", replied Jonathan.

"Well…if you don't try you'll never know. Come with me and shut up would you", answered Joanna as she took him by the wrist and leave the hospital with him.

Velvet, Foster and Trent looked at them leave.

"Joanna and Jonathan…don't you think that these names look alike", asked Trent.

"Yeah! Their names are almost the same! And they are the best agents of the institute! This is why I think that they are the perfect match", answered Foster with a grin.

************************************

Joanna and Jonathan were walking on a sidewalk near the hospital. Jonathan was looking on the ground as he was walking and did not say anything.

"Jonathan…usually, you're more talkative than this", commented Joanna.

"Usually, there aren't six people who are dying by my fault", replied Jonathan.

"Jonathan, how many times must I tell you? This isn't your fault in any ways…", responded Joanna with a sad smile.

"…………….."

"Maybe we should sit on that bench", proposed Joanna.

"…………….."

"Alright, I take this silence for a yes", replied Joanna as she sat on the bench.

Jonathan looked at her without saying anything. He didn't knew if he should talk to her about the dreams he had or not.

"You know, the bench is available for everyone Jonathan", said Joanna.

Jonathan sat next to her and looked at the ground but not for the same reason as before. He knew that Joanna was looking at him and he didn't wanted to meet her blue eyes. He felt so shy…probably because of the dream he had…

"Jonathan…"

"……………yes…", replied shyly Jonathan.

"Do you remember anything of what you've forgot?", asked Joanna.

"………………"

"Why don't you answer anything…Is it because you remembered something?", asked curiously Joanna.

"After you left…I had a dream…", responded Jonathan.

"…What kind of dream…", asked Joanna.

"I thought that…it was maybe a part of what I forgot", answered Jonathan.

"Really? So tell me, what did you see", asked curiously Joanna.

"I…I was in the institute. We were under attack and you were kidnapped…and after…I saw that you came back with Elvis and…no, that's all",  responded Jonathan.

"So you remembered when I came back!? I'm so happy! I thought that you wouldn't remember anything from what happened. I must say that it's a good start", answered Joanna.

"…yeah…"

"Is there something you didn't tell me about your dream…", said Joanna who was able to read Jonathan's mind. 

"…I'm not sure I should talk about it", answered Jonathan.

"Why not?", asked Joanna.

"It's kinda…embarrassing", responded Jonathan as he blushed slightly.

"Awww come on! Tell me", asked Joanna.

"…No…", answered Jonathan

"8th thing you need to learn about me: I always get what I want so you're gonna tell me or I'm gonna torture you to death", said Joanna with a slight smile.

"…I remembered that I…I felt guilty after you disappeared…", answered Jonathan as he turned redder.

"Guilty? Guilty of what", asked innocently Joanna with a smile. She already knew what he was going to say and it was pleasing her.

"I felt guilty because…I thought that you were dead and…and I'd never told you how I truly felt…

"So how did you truly felt", asked Joanna as her smile grew bigger.

"Damnit Jo! We were dating before I forgot everything! You already know how I felt", answered abruptly Jonathan.

"So you love me…", replied Joanna.

"What!?!", asked Jonathan as he turned as red as red wine.

"You've well heard Jonathan", replied Joanna with a slight smile.

"Huh…well huh…what the…well I…", mumbled Jonathan who couldn't blush redder.

"Is it a shame to love me Jonathan? I've never understood why you've taken more than a month to tell me", said Joanna.

"I took one month to tell you?", asked a very confused Jonathan.

"You probably don't remember but yes…you've took a while before you told me the truth…I had doubts about it but you took so long to tell me that I was thinking you were gay or that you just wanted to be friendly…", answered Joanna with an amused tone as she saw the color of Jonathan's face.

"I didn't thought that I was as shy as this", commented Jonathan.

"Let me tell you that it doesn't surprise me with the shade of your face…You're more shy than your brother with women…it seems", responded Joanna.

"Well huh…I guess you're right", answered shyly Jonathan.

"But you know yesterday you were such a jerk! Don't tell me it's just jealousy who made you react like this…", replied Joanna.

"…Well huh…but you know I'm not the only one who changed. A few months ago you were looking at me like I was a piece of junk…I know that I wore the clothes 'I'm not superficial' type but that wasn't a valuable reason…", responded Jonathan.

"If I looked at you like this it was because you were always annoying me…it's not because I thought that your clothes were ugly or I won't be sitting next to you right now", answered Joanna with a mocking tone.

"Hey! Do you really think I was going to wear a suit in the week-end?! I'm obligated to wear them each week days!", replied an offended Jonathan.

"If you want me to forgive your bad behavior from yesterday you have two tasks to accomplish for me. First of all, you'll have to go shopping with me when we'll have the time to. I don't want you to wear those grey…sweatshirt and sweatpants with elastics at the bottom anymore", retorted Joanna with a mischievous smile.

"And what is the 2nd torture", asked Jonathan worriedly.

"You'll have to kiss me on the lips…passionately if you understand what I mean", answered Joanna with the same mischievous smile.

"…You mean…now?!", asked Jonathan with a slightly panicked tone.

"Why not? Don't tell me you're afraid? Since when Jonathan is a wuss?", asked Joanna with a challenging tone.

"Me!? A wuss! I'm not a wuss! You're completely wrong young lady, I'm a strong and courageous man", replied Jonathan proudly.

"Then show me what a strong and courageous man can do for his lady", responded Joanna with a slight smile.

Jonathan froze for a few seconds but he knew he didn't have any choices. Joanna would annoy him with this if he refuse and who told he didn't wanted to? So he slowly approached her and kissed her. The kiss that was supposed to last a few seconds was well more longer than this it seems…Just after he lightly touched her lips, she put her arms behind his neck and pressed harder on his. Jonathan completely forgot the detail that he was supposed to be shy and let himself forget everything that could have botch this cozy moment. Like Joanna, he completely forgot where he was and why he was here…the warm lips of the other was the only thing that was counting for them…The never-ending kiss broke when they heard…

"Mommy, what are the lady and the mister doing on that bench", asked a little boy that was passing on the sidewalk.

"David, leave them alone! Don't you see they want some privacy?", answered the mother that blushed slightly as she saw that Joanna and Jonathan noticed them.

"But you're never answering me! I want to know mommy", answered the little boy.

"I'll answer you when we'll be back home…sorry for the disturbance", said the mother as they left Joanna and Jonathan.

Jo and Jon looked at them leave. Jonathan laughed slightly as he thought about something.

"What's so funny", asked Joanna.

"I'm sure the mother answered this just because she knew her son won't remember when they'll be back home", answered Jonathan.

"Yeah, you're probably right. My mother was like this too. All the things I needed to know were told at school and the other more personal things…well…I learned by myself", answered Joanna.

"It's sad that they interrupted us…I was so well", murmured Jonathan.

"Anyway I didn't had any air left…maybe that we should go back to the hospital now", proposed Joanna.

"Are you sure you really want to return now? We're so well…I don't want this moment to end", murmured Jonathan as he took Joanna with his arm and brought her closer to him.

"No…honestly I don't want to return now…let's stay for a few other minutes", answered Joanna as she put her head on Jonathan's shoulder.

These few minutes lasted for a hour and half…

*********************************

Joanna and Jonathan went back to the hospital. Velvet, Foster and Trent looked at them with a strange look. Trent was the first one to spoke.

"What took you so long? Did you took a room or what?!", asked Trent.

"You stupid! When will you learn to shut up!? Those things aren't of your business", replied coldly Velvet.

"Anyway…did you had some news", asked Joanna who tried to change the subject.

"Nope, we didn't have any but a doctor tell us we'll have some very soon", answered Foster.

Just after Foster told this sentence, a nurse came to meet them. She had a desolate look in her eyes. They all looked at her worriedly.

"So…are the news good", asked Joanna.

"Some are very good and others aren't that good", answered the nurse.

"Well, tell us! What's happening with the people we brought you", questioned Jonathan.

"The life of the young man named Nathaniel had never been in real danger…he'll be able to get out of the hospital  soon…The other young man that I have a lot of difficulty to pronounce his name is badly hurt. He'll be obligated to stay with us for a while but he'll survive…the woman called Suzan will also be alright but she'll have to stay with us for a few days…", responded the nurse.

"And…the others, you forgot to talk about the three others…How is Heleny?", replied Jonathan

"The woman called Heleny will be alright. She had woke up a few minutes ago…", replied the nurse.

"And Sarah! How is she?! And you forgot to talk about Grimshaw and the other guy named Dave", said Foster with a panicked tone.

"…I'm sorry. Grimshaw and Dave aren't with us anymore", answered the nurse with a sad smile.

"No…this can't be…", murmured Joanna

"…You didn't talk about Sarah…",  replied Foster who was almost doing a heart attack.

"Sarah is alive but we aren't sure what will happen to her. She is in coma and we don't have any idea if she'll wake up someday…",  responded the nurse.

Jonathan didn't say anything. He was incredibly pale. After a few seconds, he just sat.

"I don't know which one of you is Jonathan but Heleny wants to see you", said the nurse. 

"………….Fine, I'll go…", responded Jonathan blankly.   

Joanna looked at him leave. Why did she wanted to see him? 

"I don't understand a bloody thing. Why would Heleny want to see Jonathan", asked Joanna to no one in particular.

"…Jonathan didn't talk to you about what happened between them?", asked Foster as he tried to forget what he had just heard.

"…Not really…Foster can you explain  me", questioned Joanna.

"Alright…This all happened when Jonathan was around your age. He was 23 or 24, I don't remember exactly…A new agent arrived at the institute. It was Heleny. She was so talented that she had the same ranking as Jonathan…she physically looked like you at that time…She was a bitch with everyone except for Carrington and Jonathan. It seems that she had a crush on Jonathan. At this age, Jonathan wasn't like he is now. He was more like Nathaniel. He was always caring about what he looked like and he tried to chat up girls…Heleny wasn't an exception. They began to date and after they became a very serious couple. Exactly one year after Heleny entered the institute, she told Jonathan she was a spy from Datadyne. She also told that she never loved him and that she was paid to date with an agent of the Carrington Institute to find information in his personal things. After, she tried to kill him. Of course she wasn't able to. Jonathan was so demoralized by what happened that it took him an eternity to forget. After, he became like he is now. He didn't cared about what he looked like anymore and he only tried to drag a woman very, very rarely. And his rare tries were all failures. I think that this is probably why Jonathan hated you so much when you were a newbie, you remembered him of Heleny… ", explained Foster.

********************************

Jonathan entered Heleny's room. She didn't seem to be in good shape but she was smiling at him. He sat on a chair next to her bed.

"So…Dave's truly dead…", commented Heleny with a sad smile.

"How did you know this?", questioned Jonathan.

"I saw it in your eyes Jonathan…I thought that you already knew that I was able to see what you thought through your eyes…", responded Heleny.

"I'm sorry…I didn't wanted this to happen. I guess I should trust you now", answered Jonathan with a sad smile.

"Dave was the one who brought us where we are now…he was a hero…Promise me that those bastards from Datadyne are gonna pay Jonathan and I'll tell you something that could be very useful to you", replied Heleny with a pleading look.

"Alright, I promise you", replied Jonathan with a serious tone.

"Then you probably want to hear this…The Skedars recently made two new technologies. One that is useful to them, the other that will be useful to Datadyne. The first one is that they're now able to transform into a human and possess every single knowledge that the human had…this explains why the Skedar who was like Herbert knew the location of  every people he wanted to kill", said Heleny.

"There's something I didn't understand about this Skedar. If he wanted to kill everyone who was written on his list, why didn't he just shot them in the head?", asked Jonathan.

"I don't know. Maybe that this new technology isn't perfect…That's true that it is very strange…", answered Heleny.

"And what is the 2nd technology you wanted to talk about", asked Jonathan.

"This technology is probably our only way to win the war that is coming. It's a Skedar bomb…a very powerful bomb. I've heard that it was 10 times more powerful than the biggest nuclear bomb we can make. It can easily destroy an entire planet in a few seconds. The Skedar gave this bomb to Cassandra De Vries and they want humans to use this bomb on the Maian planet. The Skedars are all enemies from the Maians. The humans aren't…so they won't suspect anything. You could steal this weapon and use it on the Skedars. I've also heard that since you came on their planet and tried to kill them all that every single Skedars in the universe returned on their planet and are preparing themselves to attack Earth. If you could be able to use this weapon on their planet, the war would be won", said Heleny.

"…Are you sure of what you're saying", asked Jonathan.

"Yes, I'm sure of it. Cassandra always trusted me so I know a lot of things I shouldn't know. This is why they tried to kill me", replied Heleny.

"Do you know where this weapon is located?", asked Jonathan.

"Of course! It's in the building of Datadyne corp. and I have an idea where Cassandra could have hid it. Give me a few days to rest and I'll be able to help you.", answered Heleny.

"Thank you Heleny. Your help is very appreciated. I never thought that you could help us so much", said Jonathan with a slight smile.  

"You're welcome but I'm not doing this for the institute. I'm doing this to avenge Dave's death and for you…only you", replied Heleny.

Jonathan didn't know what to say. He simply thanked her again and left her room…

*******************************   

A week later

Some people from the institute accused Jonathan to be heartless. A lot of people were depressed by what happened a week ago but Jonathan was already doing like nothing had happened. Only one week had passed and he already wanted to send Joanna to Datadyne corp. But…not alone. Heleny who just got out from the hospital was going too and Jonathan had the firm intention to come with them. Velvet wanted to come but Jonathan refused. He thought that the mission was too difficult for her. They were going to use Elvis' ship. Jonathan was pleased to hear that Elvis had found a big number of Maian that wanted to help them after their infiltration at Datadyne Corp. Everyone were sure of one thing: when they'll be back to the Skedar planet to use the bomb, they will have a lot of obstacles to defeat before succeeding. A lot of people hoped silently that this plan was going to work…so they would finally be able to sleep properly after. Heleny, Jonathan and Joanna entered Elvis' ship.

"Are you sure this thing will really brought us in Europe in a few minutes", asked worriedly Heleny.

"Of course! But be careful, it's your first time you're using this so you could be sick", answered happily Joanna.

"Okay! Are you ready guys?", asked Elvis.

"Of course I am", replied Joanna.

"I'm fine", answered Jonathan.

"No!", exclaimed Heleny.

"Okay!! Here we go!", exclaimed Elvis as the ship elevated in the air.

*******************************

"Are you sure of what you're saying", asked Jonathan.

"Yes, I am. Cassandra is too much a coward. I'm sure she hid the bomb in her office. This bomb is very small you know", replied Heleny.

"So how are going to enter her office. It's sure that she's in",  asked Joanna.

"Someone must make a diversion that will make her get out of her office…Joanna, you'll make it. Heleny and I will infiltrate Cassandra's office", instructed Jonathan.

"Why me?!", asked Joanna that was slightly annoyed.

"Because even if they see you and try to shoot at you, they will all be killed one after the other",  replied Jonathan.

"Fine! I'll go but what kind of diversion should I do", asked Joanna.

"I don't know…try to shoot at some guards in front of Cassandra's office or something like that", suggested Jonathan.

"…I think I got an idea of what I can do…", responded Joanna with a slight smile.

"Alright…I trust you Joanna…", answered Jonathan.

"I'll make a contact with you when all the obstacles will be out of your way…and don't be surprised to hear an alarm, it's part of my plan", said Joanna as went in the direction of Cassandra's office.

********************************  

Joanna easily killed the guards who stood in her way. She saw the alarm that was on the wall. She took her camspy and makes it move. It went next to the door of Cassandra's office. Joanna pressed the button that was on the wall. The alarm rang loudly. Then she waited for other guards to come. She killed the guards who dared to approach her. After she took a controller that had a small screen on it and opened it. She saw on the screen what the camspy was seeing. After a few seconds, she saw Cassandra De Vries that left her office. She was escorted by a few of her bodyguards. Then Joanna made a contact with Jonathan and Heleny.

"It's alright, you can go. I saw that Cassandra left her office. I'll secure the perimeter", said Joanna through her communicator.

*******************************

Jonathan and Heleny quickly arrived in front of Cassandra De Vries' office. Joanna was there, waiting for them and shooting at the guards who tried to enter the room.

"Quick! Enter Cassandra's office or we'll have to encounter elite guards", said Joanna.

"How can we encounter elite guards, they're all with us now", replied Jonathan.

"No time to argue. We'd better take the weapon and leave", said Heleny as she put her hand on the doorknob.

"Wait a sec…Do you know where it will be hidden?", asked Jonathan.

"Yes, probably in her desk", answered Heleny.

"Okay. Let's enter now", said Jonathan.

Heleny opened the door. That was the last thing she made before getting shot by Samantha who was waiting for them in Cassandra's office. She fell on the floor, her blood slowly escaping from her body.

"I must say I'm a little bit disappointed. I thought that I was going to kill someone well more interesting than that fool", said Samantha as she reloaded her gun.

"You bitch! YOU'LL REGRET WHAT YOU HAVE JUST DONE", shouted Jonathan as he emptied his magnum magazine on her.

Unfortunately for him, she was wearing a shield. All the bullets that caught her only destroyed her shield so she wasn't injured. Jonathan tried to hid himself to reload his magnum but Samantha was too quick…she had already shoot him. He cried in pain as he fell on the floor. If Samantha had defeated Heleny and Jonathan, she wasn't going to defeat Perfect Dark. Joanna didn't waste her time with her. When she saw what happened, she quickly entered the office. The older woman tried to shoot at her but Joanna avoided the bullet with a spectacular jump. Joanna saw everything in a slow motion. As she was in the air, she shot at Samantha. The bullet reached for her head. Samantha fell, broke the window behind her and fell from the building. This was the end of Cassandra's older sister: Samantha De Vries. Joanna looked worriedly at Jonathan and Heleny. Jonathan seemed to be half conscious but he his injury didn't seem as serious as the one Heleny had. She stared at Joanna.

"Joanna, please…come next to me", murmured Heleny with a slight smile.

"Heleny…don't panic…you're gonna be fine", said Joanna with a panicked tone as she approached Heleny.

"No…I'm not…Listen…take…the…in her…desk…it…it's very important and…and…tell Jonathan I'll…miss…him…", said Heleny.

"Heleny, tell me you're gonna be fine", asked desperately Joanna.

"Take…care…of Jon…he really deserves…you", replied Heleny as she closed her eyes.

"…no…NO! HELENY! ANSWER ME HELENY", shouted Joanna as tears fell down her cheek.

She tried to find Heleny's pulse but she didn't felt any. She took out her CI communicator.

"Elvis…ELVIS ANSWER ME!", shouted Joanna through her communicator.

"Elvis to Joanna. What's wrong Joanna?", asked Elvis worriedly.

"I need your help! Jonathan is badly injured and Heleny is dying, DO QUICK", shouted Joanna through her communicator.
