Welcome to the next exciting chapter. It seems our little buddy Jim
has met an old acquaintance with the last name MacDougall. Upon hearing the
trouble Jim's in, Gene immediately springs into action to find his lost
friend and to figure out the answer to a nagging question, "How is Harry
alive!?!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Jim, I'm coming for ya. Don't get yourself hurt before I get there* Gene thinks to himself as he and Melfina fly up to the docking gate. As soon as Gene gets through the gate, a group of flashing lights gets his attention. Over at the smoking ruins of a café, there are five police cars.
"They must have had fun for things to look like that down there," Gene says to Melfina as they walk through the series of catwalks that make up the port area. Gene can't help but feel a little worried about Jim with things looking like that.
"I'm sure he made it out fine," Melfina says to Gene seeing the look of worry on his face. They sit down and eat their breakfast that is now cold. Gene opens a laptop and sends a message to Fred. Moments later, Fred's happy face comes up on the screen.
"Hello Gene. It's been a long time," Fred says smiling, "Why don't you talk to me more often like Jim does?"
"You've been in contact with Jim recently?" Gene asks, getting a nod from Fred, "So, where is he?"
"Right now he's with me, although the lady Suzuka makes me a bit nervous," Fred says and looks back over his shoulder.
"Fred, you better make room for two more cause we're coming over," Gene says to Fred and closes the laptop.
Moments later Gene walks through the door of Fred Lou's estate. As he walks in an alarm goes off and to security guards walk over to him. "Sir, your fire arms must be deposited here," one says. Fred walks in and waves the guards away.
"Sorry about that, they're just doing their jobs," Fred apologizes to Gene as they walk. They head down several corridors to a single dark wood door. Fred opened the door and standing inside were Suzuka and Aisha. Lying in bed was Jim. As Gene approached him he saw that Jim had bandages wrapped around his abdomen. Gene looks at Suzuka with a questioning glance.
"You probably herd about our little fire fight on the news. Jim didn't escape that without a scratch. He was hit with a shot from a pistol but not without getting a hit in of his own. He'll be fine. We shouldn't have to worry about MacDougall for a while. He'll be off licking his wounds," Suzuka said.
After getting settled in a room of his own, Gene went to check on Jim. Jim was still asleep at the time. Gene went to talk to Fred after sitting by Jim's bedside for a while. Gene found him talking with one of the security guards from before.
"Fred, have a minute?" Gene asked.
"Yes? What do you want to talk about?" Fred replies.
"Why didn't you mention Jim's injuries before when I talked to you? You know that it's one of those things that's important," Gene said.
"I didn't want to make you any more angst than you already were. I knew that if you came and saw the injuries weren't that bad it would be better for how you would react to the news," Fred explained.
"Next time, don't do that or I might end up shooting you when I see you. I'm getting some rest and then I'm going to hit the bars. It's been a while since I stopped by a bar here. Fred, you owe me some caster shells for not telling me everything," Gene said and walked off.

Well, that's all for right now. I wonder what Gene is going to do to Ron MacDougall when he finally catches him. It should be fun to watch... urh uh... read.
