Spike was walking down a long alley way, his face full of sternness and responsibility. It had been so ever since he had started this job. He was thinking of all his earthly qualms when he heard the faint sound of someone following him. Spike quickly darted around, a common reaction ever since his ape adventures, and pulled out his gun. He stared down the path from wince he came and saw nothing but shadows and darkness. He then heard heavy breathing behind him. He pivoted around only to find the barrel of his gun directly in his cousin Jimmy's face.

"Jimmy, you batard!" He screamed at his stupid young relative,"How many times do I have to tell you! DON'T SNEAK UP ON ME!!!"

Jimmy just laughed and said,"You should have seen your face!" He then put his arm around his cousin and said,"So have you thought about lettin me join?"

Spike didn't look at his cousin,"Actually, I have, and I really don't think your ready."

"OH COME ONE SPIKE!" Jimmy yelled,"I did the whole 'stop the ape menace thing' before. I can handle it, I seriously can!!!"

Spike just turned way from him,"No, you can't handle it, I mean for crise sake you could barely handle the wave of Specter's army last time. This time we aren't talking about a full blinded attack, Specter is to smart for that, he is gonna attack when we least expect it, to catch us off guard, and I don't want you in the way to screw it up."he agitatedly murmured. Spike then pushed a slightly off level brick that stuck out from the wall and a door opened up from the seemingly normal house. Both red-haired teens walked into the light drenched entrance. Once inside the door closed and air locked behind them. Inside the room was filled with the sounds of typing and machines. The room was full of equipment and thousands of people to run it. As spike and jimmy walked, people would talk to Spike in a professional tone that Jimmy quite couldn't grasp. They finally reached a large red door. Spike swiped his key through the electronic lock and entered the room. Spike sat down at the large oak desk. He straightened his little name plaque on the dront of this desk.

Jimmy then shot in chatter once again,"But, seriously, I mean I'm your cousin and you're the boss around here. Couldn't you get me some kind of job here?"

Spike was getting agitated,"Listen here, you little batard, you would be lucky if I stuck you on janitor duty. You're just not skilled enough. GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL!"

Just then a young blonde haired girl burst into the room. She was covered in blood and her clothes were tattered and torn. She was gasping for air as she held her slashed throat. She was so badly beaten that blood was even dripping from her eyes. Spike immediately got up at took by her side.

"Ammelia, what happened?" he said as he wiped the blood from her eyes.

Ammelia couldn't speak. She just gaped for air and struggled for her life.

Spike watched her closely and then said,"No, never mind, don't strain to speak. We need to get you to the infirmary."

As soon as Spike said this, Ammelia's breathing had stopped. Spike closed his eyes and forced back his tears of remorse. He then got up and yelled out the door to his fellow men to get the nurses. He got up as the infirmary workers had entered then room.

"I want you all to run tests on her. I want to find out witch spineless simian did this to her" Spike said to the workers." As soon as you get any info, tell me."

Spike then diverted his gaze from the corps."This is not good" he said as he sat back down at his desk,"They are acting violently, who knows what would happen...." Spike then began to go into deep thought," And not to mention I now need a new member to take Ammelia's place."

Jimmy's voice then shot up,"Hey, I could be the replacement."

Spike was just about to disagree and yell at his cousin, but he then realized that he really didn't have any other choice on such a dire situation."Fine," He said, "But if you end up dead, don't blame me." Spike sat down and said,"Ok let me give you the briefing. This is the ATC or the Ape Tracking Center. Your job as a member is to go undercover and try to stop the monkeys that Specter has sent out for covert missions. This is not an easy task, these monkeys are not like the ones you had to capture in your dealings, they are smarter, more cunning, and as you could tell from what you just saw, more violent. It will take allot of cunning and skill to successfully complete these missions. So, you really sure that you want to go through with this?"

Jimmy cheerfully said,"Sure am, Boss!"

"All right, now go to training, just go." Spike said as he tried to get Jimmy out of the room. He then put his hand over his eyes and shook his head,"What Have I gotten myself into."
