Spiderbear: Yes I do know you, and if the plot is as thick as Hershey's bar before, what chocolate treat will it be at the end of two chapters, yes you heard right… two!
Cristalina: Andy will learn. Yeah this kid is a bit of a wuss but you'll see… Grimshaw and Foster funny as always? Yeah, I'll try to put them in when I need a commercial break so to call it.
A/N: This chapter is a little longer than my usual but there is a lot of ground I want to cover as the story while has a lot of stuff is moving too slowly for my liking. Hence why there is a two chapter update instead the usual one, I'm on holidays and I'm taking advantage of it. Also to be truthful this story is a lot more planned out that kids is… PD kids is a bunch of random and sometimes funny stuff happening, but a lot of people do kids stories and I don't want to copy anybody to a great deal so it's hard to be original and funny. Don't worry I haven't given up on it, far from it. Next update will be for kids unless you guys want otherwise.
Carrington had received a phone call. It was from the President. Even Suzan didn't hesitate to put him straight through
"Mr. Carrington, as you are well aware we are in negotiations with the Maians. However we have decided at this point, it may be wise not to let the whole world know. Of course the Maians are welcome here but only in secret, they have agreed to this and I was calling you to let you know" The President told Carrington
"But why didn't you ask me to attend if you were making serious decisions?" Carrington said, he wanted to push for the world to find out about the Maians; too many strange things had happened already, it was only a matter of time before the truth got out.
"Because this is only a temporary decision but it is unlikely to be changed, both us and the Maians have agreed to it" The president said
"I still don't think its right, but it seems you've made up your mind" Carrington didn't want to push the President. He then realised the President didn't really answer his question, if it weren't for him he wouldn't even know about the Maians yet he is being cast aside in the decision for their future.
"I appreciate your understanding, maybe we will discuss it another time. As I said the Maians will still be here, but in secret" The President said
"Fine" Carrington replied "Just let me know next time" Carrington tried to hide his anger, he was very rarely openly angry, but when he was it wasn't pleasant.
"Good bye" The president said hanging up
Carrington hung up as well, what was wrong with him, Maians on Earth in secret? That was a disaster waiting to happen, where were they going to put them. Then Carrington realised that it didn't matter, if the Maians didn't like it they'd merely speak to him. The Maian negotiators said on the first day to Carrington that if they didn't like anything that the government said or did they'd speak straight to him as they knew they could trust him. What if the Maians were tricked into believing that their secrecy should remain, even after what Carrington had said to them. On the most part this did concern Carrington of what the reaction of the people would be, but Carrington had it already planned how he would deal with it, he wouldn't just reveal the existence of the Maians immediately, rather do it gradually by telling them they had made contact with other life and make it seem the process of meeting aliens had just started like it had in 1985, but Carrington wouldn't take over 35 years to get the Maians finally on Earth, probably closer to a year if that. Carrington was concerned now, what exactly had been said while he wasn't around, also there was something else that to his knowledge nobody else knew about, no Maian, no human and not even the Skedar, only him Daniel Carrington.

Velvet and Jonathan were waiting behind a wall near the basketball courts at just before 7. Dressed in black to camouflage so it was very difficult to see them they saw at least 8 people had gathered they also recognised the kid they had cornered. He looked as nervous as ever as he talked to people who talked to him aggressively. He obviously didn't have much respect in the group.
"So where is the merchandise?" One of them asked
"It's coming, it's coming" One of the others replied
"Hey you guys, be quiet. He is here now" A woman said. It seemed to be the same one that they heard earlier the voice was very distinctive.
"Whatever Vanessa" One of the others replied
"Ah hem? Don't you mean, Miss Vanessa" Vanessa said
"Oh Vanessa don't be so hard on them, they won't listen to you. Anyway I've got the stuff here, now where's Damien?" The male voice asked as he brought in a crate. This was the same one as they heard from the male earlier as well. It was very easy to tell.
"I, I'm here" Damien replied, this was the kid they had cornered. Velvet got a look but because of the dark clothing everybody was wearing only Damien was recognizable.
"Now Vanessa, go over the plan one more time" The male voice said
"If you insist, Wulf. Right, you go here, you place the mine there, and you set it off here. Make sure none of the guards see you or you'll get yourself killed or worse captured. Try not to make noise, but if you have no choice use this" Vanessa pulled a weapon out of the crate. It was the Super dragon.
"F...fine" Damien stuttered again
"Don't be scared, nothing is going to happen, but if it does pull the trigger on yourself if they try to capture you. Remember that to get our continual supply of all this great stuff we have to do things on a bigger scale for this dataDyne company" Vanessa said.
Vanessa moved in closer to Damien and whispered something in his ear; it made him shiver with fear.
"Alright, now you guys can do whatever you want... go on don't be shy" Wulf laughed as he threw the crate at the group. Using the zoom goggles Jonathan saw all the weapons that were there. K7 Avenger, that strange pistol he saw the previous day, Dragon, Devastator. The carnage they could cause with these weapons was huge.
Everybody ran off in different directions except for Damien, Vanessa and Wulf.
"Remember boy, don't fail" Vanessa said walking off with Wulf.
After Jonathan got a closer look at Vanessa she was quite tall with long black hair and really long fingernails, they were probably fake, quite thin build as well. Wulf was a bit taller than Vanessa but he looked very strong and now that Jonathan could see better he was wearing shades, probably in an attempt to look cool like in those movies, however he actually had the appearance pull it off.
"Alright Jonathan, somebody follow Damien, somebody else try to capture some of those gang members" Velvet said
"I guess you want to trace Damien" Jonathan said
"Well yes, but if you want to" Velvet replied
"Look we do rock, scissors, paper since we can't waste time. Loser goes to fight the gang" Jonathan said.
"Fine" Velvet thought it was childish but knew Jonathan was right. They made a fist and shook them three times before revealing. Velvet had scissors, Jonathan had paper.
"Damn it. Okay… fine" Jonathan said taking the Crossbow and the AR34 assault rifle. He put the Crossbow in its slot on Jonathan's back. He took the AR34 in both hands and started heading in the direction of the gun fire and explosions.
"Good luck" Velvet said
"You too" Jonathan replied turning around and saluted Velvet.
Velvet followed Damien who was walking at a careful pace, probably to try hear anybody around him although no matter how hard he could try, Velvet's training would outdo him. She didn't want to get too close but she didn't want him to get too far away from her either. Suddenly he stopped.
"This must be it, the dataDyne transportation office" Damien read out from the paper also looking at the wall.
Wait, the weapons were from dataDyne, why would they want to destroy themselves? Velvet thought, then it hit her, this was the opposite side of dataDyne. Damien then pulled out something and started working on the digital lock on the door however by this point Velvet had seen enough, she walked quietly up to Damien and tackled him down.
"Well we meet again" Velvet said turning him around putting a Falcon 2 to his body and standing up
"Shit! Why can't you just leave me alone" Damien shouted realising who it was but before Velvet replied she was under attack from gunfire, but they missing by a good margin, however they weren't aiming at her, they were aiming at Damien.
"Get behind there" Velvet ordered as she and Damien jumped over another large garbage bin which seemed to be around a lot.
"They are trying to kill me!" Damien said, stating the obvious.
"I realised that, stay here" Velvet said as she looked over the bin and fired her Falcon 2 off, she nailed them in the arm and caused them to drop their weapon. Velvet then walked up to them and as they tried to pick it up Velvet shot them again this time in the foot, they jumped around in agony.
"You stupid bitch!" The person said while in obvious pain. It was Vanessa.
Velvet paid no attention to her as she pushed her down and took her K7 Avenger, but then she was under attack once more. An explosion behind her but the range was way off, a second shot was fired but it was well off to the right, the blast sound could only be a devastator but whoever it was didn't have much experience in using the weapon. However Velvet was considerably disadvantaged as she couldn't even see her attacker. She went down the alley way but found it to be a dead end. Then she got a look at the range of her attacker as the person came running closer. He fired another shot that was a lot closer as it blew up in the dead end. Then Velvet came out and fired her weapon but the target disappeared again. She waited in front of a wall while Vanessa was on the ground in considerable pain.
However before she knew it she heard another shot, she rolled quickly out of the way and the grenade hit the wall and came back and was heading right for Vanessa.
"NOOO!" Vanessa shouted as she saw the grenade come right for her as it exploded killing her on contact.
"OHHH SHIT!" A loud shout was heard but it gave away their position. Velvet fired in the direction but didn't seem to make any contract. How could someone be so quick and where are they hiding. Velvet hung close to the walls, but her attacker fired another shot forcing her into the open. Velvet turned around and tried to catch her attacker making a move. Another shot, this time Velvet saw it coming and rolled out of the way but she dropped her K7 Avenger in the process. When she tried to pick it up, somehow a foot appeared from nowhere and was already standing on it.
"Don't move, stay there" A voice said. It was the voice of that guy nicknamed Wulf.
Velvet looked up and it was definitely him, he had a DY357 Magnum at her head.
"You killed Vanessa, for that I can never forgive you" Wulf said
"You killed her, you fired the shot" Velvet replied, not knowing what Wulf would do.
Wulf then hit her across the face "Ah yes, we are going to have some fun with you tonight" Wulf laughed
Wulf then went to get something from a pocket and when he pulled it out it was a tranquilizer.
"Good night my dear, at least for now" Wulf said as he went to fire it but then a shot hit him in the chest, he cried out in pain before falling to his knees, Velvet stood up and pulled out her Falcon 2 then turned around to see where it came from, Damien came from out of the shadows.. Wulf could only look in shock just before Damien shot him again, this time in the head, Wulf immediately dropped to the ground dead.
"I'm glad I killed him" Damien said
"You're glad?" Velvet replied relieved "but why?" Velvet asked
"Heh, I kind of knew they only wanted me to do this job and then get rid of me but I had no choice, I was thinking of running but I also knew they'd be watching me. I had made up my mind when Vanessa told me that if I was captured they would come after me but only to kill me. I want to take some of my life back before these other jerks kill me, I don't think it will take them long to track me down" Damien said
"Don't worry, my friend is taking care of them now" Velvet replied "Where do you live; want me to take you home?" Velvet asked, she had a kind heart and always had a bit of sympathy for others who were less fortunate than her.
"Nah, I'll be fine, I've got to do things for myself now" Damien said as he turned around "Oh and thanks" Damien walked off
"But what will you do?" Velvet called after him
"I don't know, but I'll work something out" Damien waved to Velvet and turned around the corner
Jonathan was surprised at how easily these gang members went down as they didn't work together making it a lot easier, maybe he did get the better end of the deal after all. As usual they went and tried to rob the local stores of stuff but naturally they were too busy doing the job that they didn't notice Jon and his crossbow as he nailed them with the Instant kill function, but trying to keep it as quiet as possible. 6 became 4 and then 4 became 2.
"Hey where'd everybody go?" One of them asked suddenly noticing it had turned very quiet without loads of gun shots and explosions nor any sirens going off.
"Beats me, maybe they left early, or found another spot to raid" Another replied
"let's go find…" that was all he got out as Jonathan shot him from a distance with the crossbow using the sedate function however the other was fast to react as he fired a few rounds at Jonathan who had change to his AR34 and took cover. Carelessly the guy stepped into the open where he was easy pickings for Jonathan who fired immediately killing him.
"That was too easy" Jonathan walked up to the two men he just knocked out. He then got a reverse sedating effect device that would reverse the effect but still leave the target stunned making them unable to fight back and also they were less aware of their surroundings, ideal for quick interrogation. Sticking it into one of them they awoke immediately.
"Where am I?" the guy asked
"Err" Jonathan didn't know how to answer that so got straight to what he wanted to know "Why is dataDyne giving you weapons for?" Jonathan asked
"That's easy, to cause chaos and destruction for them boss, why else?" The unsuspecting stunned guy replied
"Do you know why dataDyne want chaos and destruction?" Jonathan tried not to laugh at the ease of getting information and despite the stupidness of his own question. Datadyne and destruction went hand in hand.
"Nop, you haven't told us that yet" He replied "Hey wait you aren't the boss" He suddenly realised.
Jonathan put a pistol to his head "No, but if you don't tell me everything in that tiny brain of yours, I'm going to give it some air" Jonathan put the DY357 to the man's head.
"I wonder if this works…" the guy said
"What?" Jonathan said ready for any reaction from him but then just as before the guy suddenly dropped dead for no reason at all, what was with these people.
"AH Damn it! We'll never get anything out of these guys if they keep dying like that" Jonathan said
"Tried removing the poison needle from inside their shoe?" A voice asked
"Huh?" Jonathan turned around and saw Damien
"Hey what are you doing here!?" Jonathan asked pointing the Magnum towards him. He suddenly stopped.
"I'm only trying to help you know, I met with your partner" Damien said "Seriously check the inside of their shoe, the trigger is inside their shoes, if they press it a poison needle inserts a poison into the foot that kills instantly, it's another one of those dataDyne things" Damien explained
Jonathan removed both shoes from the guy's feet and sure enough the right one had a needle right in the centre with 4 triggers inside the shoe at the end.
"Vanessa said you have to press them in a certain combination in a certain time period to get the poison to work, just so we don't die if we touch it accidentally" Damien told him
"Hey Jonathan there you are" Velvet called out
"Hi Velvet, what happened?" Jonathan asked
"I approached him, we were attacked, I fight the attackers but then one corners me after he kills his friend by accident just when it looks all over Damien shoots them, we talk and he walks off and finds you it seems" Velvet quickly summarised what had happened.
"Right, Velvet check this out" Jonathan showed her the dead body
"According to Damien, the reason why people are dropping dead and we can't get info out of them is because of this device in there that when triggered puts this poisonous needle in their foot killing them instantly" Jonathan told her
"Wow, although it must be only for people extremely loyal to their cause" Velvet said "Say you wearing those kind of shoes, maybe we can have a look" Velvet suggested to Damien
"Actually I'm not, I thought they'd find me out, I was scared of accidentally triggering it" Damien said
"This guy should still have them though" Jonathan said taking the shoes off the other one he shot with the AR34. Jonathan peered inside.
"They haven't been used, let's get back, maybe someone at the Institute can work out were they come from" Jonathan continued looking around. He never imagined he'd be looking at the inside of shoes to work out their next move.
However they were suddenly attack by gun fire. The three ran for it in different directions.
"Die! Traitor" Somebody shouted
"Hey where'd they go?" Another asked looking around
"I dunno, let's find them" The third person added as they took a step forward but it was met by gunfire, and he dropped to the ground and soon when the other two looked in shock they were hit too.
"Whew that was close" Damien said putting the Super Dragon down a bit.
"Heh that was nothing" Jonathan smiled
"How come you are such a good shot, well compared to your former boss anyway" Velvet asked
"My father and uncle are in the army, they use these all the time and my Dad wanted me to become a solider so he taught me how to use the weapon, I didn't want to go down that path though" Damien looked down
"I see" Velvet said
"Well anyway good luck, but can you guys do me a favour?" Damien asked
"Name it" Velvet said
"Leave me alone for a while, before you draw any more fire in my direction" Damien gave a smile before walking off
*****
It was night in Miraville, just past 8. After Sean and Junior escaped, Junior took a while to calm down, but when Andy returned he was still scared but not as worried. However Andy quickly departed to assess the damage done to dataDyne and only recently had returned to the hotel and visited Sean. He knocked on the door and Sean got up and answered it.
"Hi do come in" Sean said. Andy did so
"So how's the damage?" Sean asked.
"Well, it's not good but it's not catastrophic, fortunately nobody was injured and the computers on the second floor are safe" Andy replied
"How often have you been attacked?" Sean asked
"A few times but nothing like that" Andy replied
"I think you need more security" Sean said
"That had occurred to me" Andy said in a half sarcastic manner "I'm learning everything the hard way" Andy sighed
"By the way Sean are you alright?" Andy asked
"Yes, why?" Sean replied
"You just seem tired" Andy said noticing Sean's eyes where almost closing themselves.
"No, I'm alright" Sean said. In truth he wasn't feeling as healthy as he usually did he had felt like this since he got back, always cold, being tired all the time, but it was no different to being on the Maian planet at first but it wore off in about 3 Earth days, since approximately 1 Maian day was 2 and a half Earth days.
"Anyway, would you mind if I talked to Junior for a while. He's usually a lot happier then this, but of course his mother is getting to him. I'm surprised he's holding into himself, but of course he doesn't know you completely yet" Andy said
"Well go ahead, but stay here. I don't want your friends coming around again" Sean replied
"Of course" Andy stood up and went into Junior's room. Sean went to close the door; he figured they would be better if he didn't overhear what they were saying, but also wanted to keep Junior in eye contact. For some reason he just didn't completely trust Andy. Then he remembered he hadn't updated Carrington on what was happening yet. He picked up the communicator and made contact with Daniel in almost a second.
"Yes Sean" Carrington answered
"Sorry this is a bit late, I met with Andy, he told me stuff about Junior and how he knew were Trent was and updated Jessica who was Junior's mother, that's how come she knew and we didn't" Sean said
"Excellent. What about the new weapon line, anything?" Carrington asked
"Nothing, you got anything?" Sean asked
"Foster tested the new pistol. Definitely a good weapon, but it's lacking a magazine only 9 rounds while it's more than the Falcon, the weapon is distinctively noisy and slightly less accurate then the Falcon, but I guess this is the idea for dataDyne to attract attention so they can overwhelm agents with numbers" Carrington told him
"Strange, but whatever works for them I guess. The only other thing I found out was that Andy was able to find out dataDyne's other locations by hacking into their computers and stuff. Since they were still under the same systems and other stuff it was easy at first but the other side of dataDyne are working through that, making it harder each day. Then we were attacked and a bit of stuff was destroyed" Sean said "Andy says it's not too bad"
"Oh, thanks. Keep it up, you just stay around and see if anything happens" Carrington said
"Will do" Sean replied
"Except come in tomorrow, just for a quick meeting, at about 8am it won't take long" Carrington said
"Alright" Sean said as he turned the communicator off.
Damn it, why'd he want to see me for, what was it that he couldn't tell me now. That meant either taking Junior with him or leaving him with Andy who he didn't really trust. He then realised that they were still in there, but as Sean went to the lounge room they finished and came out.
"Anyway, I'll leave you now, see you around. Thanks again" Andy walked out "Oh yes, I'll be here tomorrow because people are cleaning the offices after the attack and the insurance company wants a look and stuff " Andy said as was at the door
"Okay thanks see you later" Sean gave a quick wave
"Bye" Andy shut the door
"Sean… I'm sorry" Junior said sitting on the lounge chair
Sean was surprised "For what?" Sean wondered
"Putting my self on you, Andy told me he couldn't be with me although I didn't ask; I did want him around because he knew my Mum. I hold you up in your work" Junior said
Sean was surprised. What exactly had Andy said, then again kids can to take things that are said in ways they are far from intended.
"You don't hold me up in my work, in fact so far you've helped me because Andy probably wouldn't be telling me as much" Sean said "Also I never really lived out my teenage years because of the life that Mr. Carrington lead" Sean said
"What happened?" Junior asked
"Well, because Carrington had to be at work all the time I had to either stay at what was home or go to work with him. Being at home was boring as anything and I just didn't seem to be good at making friends, so I spent a lot of time at the Institute" Sean explained, trying to explain it in a way he could understand without mentioning
"Also how old are you?" Junior asked
"26" Sean replied
"Andy asked me and I didn't know, he seemed to think you were 20 or something" Junior said
"Nop 26" Sean said. Maybe he should have told Junior he was 19 to fit with his appearance and to fit in with everybody, however 26 seemed a lot older than 19 and Andy would surely question that which is probably why he asked Junior in the first place.
"Okay, let's just watch TV" Junior turned on the TV
"Alright, by the way I've got to go in to the Institute tomorrow so I'll probably get Andy to check on you" Sean told Junior.
"Oh alright I guess" Junior replied slightly surprised
"Are you sure?" Sean asked
"Yeah sure that's fine" Junior said
If Andy wanted to do anything to Junior he would have already, but it was either a choice of Junior being bored out of his mind and or the 0% chance that Andy had some plan in mind. He shouldn't have been so paranoid anyway. About an hour later Junior went to bed and Sean quickly followed, he was very tired now and this cold feeling just wouldn't go away, maybe if he just had some rest it would pass in the night.
*****
Joanna's place. Joanna was sitting watching TV with Popcorn and a drink on the table next to her while covered by a blanket on the lounge chair.
"Ah some TV, popcorn and a nice drink, the simple things that are so often missing from my life" Joanna said sitting back although her back was still sore it was getting better, it was more her exhausted and worn out side that was getting treatment. She knew that Sarah only gave her more time off then she needed because she deserved it and what's more needed it.
"I should thank Trent the next time I see him" Joanna laughed to herself "Oh that's right Trent is dead" Joanna said with a bit more of a laugh
However outside there were 4 men moving, they stopped and looked inside and watched Joanna sit and eat.
"She doesn't look like she's in that much pain" one of them said
"Who cares, she's handicapped let's do this mission" Another said
"Ready?" A third voice said looking inside at the unsuspecting Joanna
Cristalina: Andy will learn. Yeah this kid is a bit of a wuss but you'll see… Grimshaw and Foster funny as always? Yeah, I'll try to put them in when I need a commercial break so to call it.

Velvet and Jonathan were waiting behind a wall near the basketball courts at just before 7. Dressed in black to camouflage so it was very difficult to see them they saw at least 8 people had gathered they also recognised the kid they had cornered. He looked as nervous as ever as he talked to people who talked to him aggressively. He obviously didn't have much respect in the group.

"Alright Jonathan, somebody follow Damien, somebody else try to capture some of those gang members" Velvet said
"I guess you want to trace Damien" Jonathan said
"Well yes, but if you want to" Velvet replied
"Look we do rock, scissors, paper since we can't waste time. Loser goes to fight the gang" Jonathan said.

"Get behind there" Velvet ordered as she and Damien jumped over another large garbage bin which seemed to be around a lot.
"They are trying to kill me!" Damien said, stating the obvious.
"I realised that, stay here" Velvet said as she looked over the bin and fired her Falcon 2 off, she nailed them in the arm and caused them to drop their weapon. Velvet then walked up to them and as they tried to pick it up Velvet shot them again this time in the foot, they jumped around in agony.
"You stupid bitch!" The person said while in obvious pain. It was Vanessa.
Velvet paid no attention to her as she pushed her down and took her K7 Avenger, but then she was under attack once more. An explosion behind her but the range was way off, a second shot was fired but it was well off to the right, the blast sound could only be a devastator but whoever it was didn't have much experience in using the weapon. However Velvet was considerably disadvantaged as she couldn't even see her attacker. She went down the alley way but found it to be a dead end. Then she got a look at the range of her attacker as the person came running closer. He fired another shot that was a lot closer as it blew up in the dead end. Then Velvet came out and fired her weapon but the target disappeared again. She waited in front of a wall while Vanessa was on the ground in considerable pain.
However before she knew it she heard another shot, she rolled quickly out of the way and the grenade hit the wall and came back and was heading right for Vanessa.
"NOOO!" Vanessa shouted as she saw the grenade come right for her as it exploded killing her on contact.
"OHHH SHIT!" A loud shout was heard but it gave away their position. Velvet fired in the direction but didn't seem to make any contract. How could someone be so quick and where are they hiding. Velvet hung close to the walls, but her attacker fired another shot forcing her into the open. Velvet turned around and tried to catch her attacker making a move. Another shot, this time Velvet saw it coming and rolled out of the way but she dropped her K7 Avenger in the process. When she tried to pick it up, somehow a foot appeared from nowhere and was already standing on it.
"Don't move, stay there" A voice said. It was the voice of that guy nicknamed Wulf.
Velvet looked up and it was definitely him, he had a DY357 Magnum at her head.
"You killed Vanessa, for that I can never forgive you" Wulf said
"You killed her, you fired the shot" Velvet replied, not knowing what Wulf would do.
Wulf then hit her across the face "Ah yes, we are going to have some fun with you tonight" Wulf laughed
Wulf then went to get something from a pocket and when he pulled it out it was a tranquilizer.
"Good night my dear, at least for now" Wulf said as he went to fire it but then a shot hit him in the chest, he cried out in pain before falling to his knees, Velvet stood up and pulled out her Falcon 2 then turned around to see where it came from, Damien came from out of the shadows.. Wulf could only look in shock just before Damien shot him again, this time in the head, Wulf immediately dropped to the ground dead.
"I'm glad I killed him" Damien said
"You're glad?" Velvet replied relieved "but why?" Velvet asked
"Heh, I kind of knew they only wanted me to do this job and then get rid of me but I had no choice, I was thinking of running but I also knew they'd be watching me. I had made up my mind when Vanessa told me that if I was captured they would come after me but only to kill me. I want to take some of my life back before these other jerks kill me, I don't think it will take them long to track me down" Damien said
"Don't worry, my friend is taking care of them now" Velvet replied "Where do you live; want me to take you home?" Velvet asked, she had a kind heart and always had a bit of sympathy for others who were less fortunate than her.
"Nah, I'll be fine, I've got to do things for myself now" Damien said as he turned around "Oh and thanks" Damien walked off
"But what will you do?" Velvet called after him
"I don't know, but I'll work something out" Damien waved to Velvet and turned around the corner
Jonathan was surprised at how easily these gang members went down as they didn't work together making it a lot easier, maybe he did get the better end of the deal after all. As usual they went and tried to rob the local stores of stuff but naturally they were too busy doing the job that they didn't notice Jon and his crossbow as he nailed them with the Instant kill function, but trying to keep it as quiet as possible. 6 became 4 and then 4 became 2.
"Hey where'd everybody go?" One of them asked suddenly noticing it had turned very quiet without loads of gun shots and explosions nor any sirens going off.
"Beats me, maybe they left early, or found another spot to raid" Another replied
"let's go find…" that was all he got out as Jonathan shot him from a distance with the crossbow using the sedate function however the other was fast to react as he fired a few rounds at Jonathan who had change to his AR34 and took cover. Carelessly the guy stepped into the open where he was easy pickings for Jonathan who fired immediately killing him.
"That was too easy" Jonathan walked up to the two men he just knocked out. He then got a reverse sedating effect device that would reverse the effect but still leave the target stunned making them unable to fight back and also they were less aware of their surroundings, ideal for quick interrogation. Sticking it into one of them they awoke immediately.
"Where am I?" the guy asked
"Err" Jonathan didn't know how to answer that so got straight to what he wanted to know "Why is dataDyne giving you weapons for?" Jonathan asked
"That's easy, to cause chaos and destruction for them boss, why else?" The unsuspecting stunned guy replied
"Do you know why dataDyne want chaos and destruction?" Jonathan tried not to laugh at the ease of getting information and despite the stupidness of his own question. Datadyne and destruction went hand in hand.
"Nop, you haven't told us that yet" He replied "Hey wait you aren't the boss" He suddenly realised.
Jonathan put a pistol to his head "No, but if you don't tell me everything in that tiny brain of yours, I'm going to give it some air" Jonathan put the DY357 to the man's head.
"I wonder if this works…" the guy said
"What?" Jonathan said ready for any reaction from him but then just as before the guy suddenly dropped dead for no reason at all, what was with these people.
"AH Damn it! We'll never get anything out of these guys if they keep dying like that" Jonathan said
"Tried removing the poison needle from inside their shoe?" A voice asked
"Huh?" Jonathan turned around and saw Damien
"Hey what are you doing here!?" Jonathan asked pointing the Magnum towards him. He suddenly stopped.
"I'm only trying to help you know, I met with your partner" Damien said "Seriously check the inside of their shoe, the trigger is inside their shoes, if they press it a poison needle inserts a poison into the foot that kills instantly, it's another one of those dataDyne things" Damien explained
Jonathan removed both shoes from the guy's feet and sure enough the right one had a needle right in the centre with 4 triggers inside the shoe at the end.
"Vanessa said you have to press them in a certain combination in a certain time period to get the poison to work, just so we don't die if we touch it accidentally" Damien told him
"Hey Jonathan there you are" Velvet called out
"Hi Velvet, what happened?" Jonathan asked
"I approached him, we were attacked, I fight the attackers but then one corners me after he kills his friend by accident just when it looks all over Damien shoots them, we talk and he walks off and finds you it seems" Velvet quickly summarised what had happened.
"Right, Velvet check this out" Jonathan showed her the dead body
"According to Damien, the reason why people are dropping dead and we can't get info out of them is because of this device in there that when triggered puts this poisonous needle in their foot killing them instantly" Jonathan told her
"Wow, although it must be only for people extremely loyal to their cause" Velvet said "Say you wearing those kind of shoes, maybe we can have a look" Velvet suggested to Damien
"Actually I'm not, I thought they'd find me out, I was scared of accidentally triggering it" Damien said
"This guy should still have them though" Jonathan said taking the shoes off the other one he shot with the AR34. Jonathan peered inside.
"They haven't been used, let's get back, maybe someone at the Institute can work out were they come from" Jonathan continued looking around. He never imagined he'd be looking at the inside of shoes to work out their next move.
However they were suddenly attack by gun fire. The three ran for it in different directions.
"Die! Traitor" Somebody shouted
"Hey where'd they go?" Another asked looking around
"I dunno, let's find them" The third person added as they took a step forward but it was met by gunfire, and he dropped to the ground and soon when the other two looked in shock they were hit too.
"Whew that was close" Damien said putting the Super Dragon down a bit.
"Heh that was nothing" Jonathan smiled
"How come you are such a good shot, well compared to your former boss anyway" Velvet asked
"My father and uncle are in the army, they use these all the time and my Dad wanted me to become a solider so he taught me how to use the weapon, I didn't want to go down that path though" Damien looked down
"I see" Velvet said
"Well anyway good luck, but can you guys do me a favour?" Damien asked
"Name it" Velvet said
"Leave me alone for a while, before you draw any more fire in my direction" Damien gave a smile before walking off
*****
It was night in Miraville, just past 8. After Sean and Junior escaped, Junior took a while to calm down, but when Andy returned he was still scared but not as worried. However Andy quickly departed to assess the damage done to dataDyne and only recently had returned to the hotel and visited Sean. He knocked on the door and Sean got up and answered it.
"Hi do come in" Sean said. Andy did so
"So how's the damage?" Sean asked.
"Well, it's not good but it's not catastrophic, fortunately nobody was injured and the computers on the second floor are safe" Andy replied
"How often have you been attacked?" Sean asked
"A few times but nothing like that" Andy replied
"I think you need more security" Sean said
"That had occurred to me" Andy said in a half sarcastic manner "I'm learning everything the hard way" Andy sighed
"By the way Sean are you alright?" Andy asked
"Yes, why?" Sean replied
"You just seem tired" Andy said noticing Sean's eyes where almost closing themselves.
"No, I'm alright" Sean said. In truth he wasn't feeling as healthy as he usually did he had felt like this since he got back, always cold, being tired all the time, but it was no different to being on the Maian planet at first but it wore off in about 3 Earth days, since approximately 1 Maian day was 2 and a half Earth days.
"Anyway, would you mind if I talked to Junior for a while. He's usually a lot happier then this, but of course his mother is getting to him. I'm surprised he's holding into himself, but of course he doesn't know you completely yet" Andy said
"Well go ahead, but stay here. I don't want your friends coming around again" Sean replied
"Of course" Andy stood up and went into Junior's room. Sean went to close the door; he figured they would be better if he didn't overhear what they were saying, but also wanted to keep Junior in eye contact. For some reason he just didn't completely trust Andy. Then he remembered he hadn't updated Carrington on what was happening yet. He picked up the communicator and made contact with Daniel in almost a second.
"Yes Sean" Carrington answered
"Sorry this is a bit late, I met with Andy, he told me stuff about Junior and how he knew were Trent was and updated Jessica who was Junior's mother, that's how come she knew and we didn't" Sean said
"Excellent. What about the new weapon line, anything?" Carrington asked
"Nothing, you got anything?" Sean asked
"Foster tested the new pistol. Definitely a good weapon, but it's lacking a magazine only 9 rounds while it's more than the Falcon, the weapon is distinctively noisy and slightly less accurate then the Falcon, but I guess this is the idea for dataDyne to attract attention so they can overwhelm agents with numbers" Carrington told him
"Strange, but whatever works for them I guess. The only other thing I found out was that Andy was able to find out dataDyne's other locations by hacking into their computers and stuff. Since they were still under the same systems and other stuff it was easy at first but the other side of dataDyne are working through that, making it harder each day. Then we were attacked and a bit of stuff was destroyed" Sean said "Andy says it's not too bad"
"Oh, thanks. Keep it up, you just stay around and see if anything happens" Carrington said
"Will do" Sean replied
"Except come in tomorrow, just for a quick meeting, at about 8am it won't take long" Carrington said
"Alright" Sean said as he turned the communicator off.
Damn it, why'd he want to see me for, what was it that he couldn't tell me now. That meant either taking Junior with him or leaving him with Andy who he didn't really trust. He then realised that they were still in there, but as Sean went to the lounge room they finished and came out.
"Anyway, I'll leave you now, see you around. Thanks again" Andy walked out "Oh yes, I'll be here tomorrow because people are cleaning the offices after the attack and the insurance company wants a look and stuff " Andy said as was at the door
"Okay thanks see you later" Sean gave a quick wave
"Bye" Andy shut the door
"Sean… I'm sorry" Junior said sitting on the lounge chair
Sean was surprised "For what?" Sean wondered
"Putting my self on you, Andy told me he couldn't be with me although I didn't ask; I did want him around because he knew my Mum. I hold you up in your work" Junior said
Sean was surprised. What exactly had Andy said, then again kids can to take things that are said in ways they are far from intended.
"You don't hold me up in my work, in fact so far you've helped me because Andy probably wouldn't be telling me as much" Sean said "Also I never really lived out my teenage years because of the life that Mr. Carrington lead" Sean said
"What happened?" Junior asked
"Well, because Carrington had to be at work all the time I had to either stay at what was home or go to work with him. Being at home was boring as anything and I just didn't seem to be good at making friends, so I spent a lot of time at the Institute" Sean explained, trying to explain it in a way he could understand without mentioning
"Also how old are you?" Junior asked
"26" Sean replied
"Andy asked me and I didn't know, he seemed to think you were 20 or something" Junior said
"Nop 26" Sean said. Maybe he should have told Junior he was 19 to fit with his appearance and to fit in with everybody, however 26 seemed a lot older than 19 and Andy would surely question that which is probably why he asked Junior in the first place.
"Okay, let's just watch TV" Junior turned on the TV
"Alright, by the way I've got to go in to the Institute tomorrow so I'll probably get Andy to check on you" Sean told Junior.
"Oh alright I guess" Junior replied slightly surprised
"Are you sure?" Sean asked
"Yeah sure that's fine" Junior said
If Andy wanted to do anything to Junior he would have already, but it was either a choice of Junior being bored out of his mind and or the 0% chance that Andy had some plan in mind. He shouldn't have been so paranoid anyway. About an hour later Junior went to bed and Sean quickly followed, he was very tired now and this cold feeling just wouldn't go away, maybe if he just had some rest it would pass in the night.

Joanna's place. Joanna was sitting watching TV with Popcorn and a drink on the table next to her while covered by a blanket on the lounge chair.
"Ah some TV, popcorn and a nice drink, the simple things that are so often missing from my life" Joanna said sitting back although her back was still sore it was getting better, it was more her exhausted and worn out side that was getting treatment. She knew that Sarah only gave her more time off then she needed because she deserved it and what's more needed it.
"I should thank Trent the next time I see him" Joanna laughed to herself "Oh that's right Trent is dead" Joanna said with a bit more of a laugh
However outside there were 4 men moving, they stopped and looked inside and watched Joanna sit and eat.
"She doesn't look like she's in that much pain" one of them said
"Who cares, she's handicapped let's do this mission" Another said
"Ready?" A third voice said looking inside at the unsuspecting Joanna
