Tommy slammed the door of the abandoned warehouse shut. He turned around, looking at his two friends furiously. He was angry and upset, having found out that they had gone to Bio-Lab on their own, without him, and come close to getting caught. He got right into the woman's face, knowing very well it had been her idea.

"What the hell did you think you were doing? It will only be a matter of time before they find out who you two are!" he yelled right into her face.

"Look who's talking! Where did you go, Tommy, huh?" Her eyes widened as she looked right at him. "You went to go see her, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU!" she yelled right back at him just as loud.

Tommy's eyes glared with anger and rage. "What I do with my time is no one's business but my own…" he shot back.

The woman just shook her head. She couldn't believe the way he was acting. "Do you think you're the only one who lost someone? Huh? DO YOU!" Tommy turned his head away. The woman grabbed him by the chin, forcing him to look at her. "Let me tell you, we all lost someone!" she roared. She began to choke on her own tears, as she began to remember the one she had lost. "He died in my arms, bleeding to death…begging me to get to safety, to leave him behind..." Her eyes began to sparkle with tears. "We'll never be able to get married, or have children; he's gone. And I'll NEVER get him back. I'll never get my friends back; every single one of them is dead. And my family is all gone. I shouldn't even be here…I shouldn't even exist….." She took a moment to get a hold of herself, wiping her tears away. "So excuse me for wanting to get back the one thing I have left of him…!" she yelled.

Tommy's eyes blazed with anger. How dare she talk to him like that. She had no right. "YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT!" he growled. The woman and the young man took a step back, almost frightened. Tommy stopped suddenly, seeing the terror and fear in their eyes. He sighed heavily, trying to calm himself down, but there were just too many emotions building up inside. He closed his eyes, feeling the tears rush down his face. "You think I don't know, if it weren't for me they all still be alive…." He cried softly. "I have to live with that for the rest of my life, knowing that my decision cost millions of lives."

The woman sighed and slowly reached up to put her hand on his shoulder to comfort him, but Tommy shrugged her away. "I don't need your pity..." he snapped He didn't deserve it.

She looked at him, hurt and angry. "It's not pity….You act as though you don't want me or him as friends; you keep us at a distance. I'm right, aren't I?" she turned, looking over at the young man.

Tommy looked at him, hoping for a no, but the look on the young man's face... He knew she was right. "Whatever….You're right, I do…..So go on, say it," he spat.

The two looked at each other and then back at Tommy. "Say what?" asked the young man.

"Say it was my FAULT! It's no secret that because of me everyone is gone, that they all died.…"

The woman stared Tommy right in the eyes. "You want us to blame you, don't you?"

Tommy didn't answer.

"You think you don't deserve to have any friends," she said softly, taking a deep breath. "You're right, maybe we should blame you." She paused, sighing. "…But no matter what we do, nothing will bring them back, so why cause any more pain and anger when we already have plenty of it?"

Tommy put his head down, sighing heavily. He turned away from them and opened the door.

"Where you going?" asked the young man.

Tommy didn't turn around. "Out. I'll be back later…..And stay here. He's still out there……somewhere. We have to stop him, before what happened to us happens to everyone here…."

"We can't do it on our own, we need help," she said.

Wes and Eric walked into Jen's office and found her wearing one of the Silver Guardian workout uniforms. Her hair was soaking wet and a towel was wrapped around her shoulders. The two looked at her, wondering what the heck had happened to her. Jen looked at them, concerned; both of them had red marks on their faces and they appeared to be exhausted.

"What the hell happened to you two?" she asked while she was drying her hair.

"We could ask you the same thing," answered Eric as he took a seat in the chair in front of Jen's desk. Wes walked around and sat down in the chair that was closest to Jen.

"Tell you what, why don't you go first and then I'll tell you what happened here," suggested Jen.

Eric looked over at Wes, knowing very well Wes did not want to let Jen know that Sy-Kee was here. The two Commanders were silent pondering whether or not to tell her. Jen looked back and forth at the two, knowing very well they were hiding something, and it wasn't good.

"What's going on? Wes?" she asked, looking at her husband.

Wes turned his head away, not answering. How could he just tell her that Sy-Kee was back? With her having those dreams he knew it would just put more concern and stress on Jen, which was something she didn't need.

Jen then turned to Eric, looking for him for answers. Eric bowed his head down, not answering either. "Is one of you going to talk or do I have to pry it out of both of you! And don't think I won't!" she yelled.

Eric looked up over at Wes. "Wes, you have to tell her."

Jen looked back over at Wes waiting for him to tell her what happened to them. "Wes?" she said again.

Wes sighed heavily, he didn't want to tell Jen. The last thing she needed was to know Sy-Kee was alive, which he knew would cause a lot of problems. Jen hadn't been too much of herself for the past few weeks; with her being pregnant it seemed to be causing a lot of emotional problems. He slowly turned his head around to look her in the eyes. "….Sy-Kee's back," is all he said.

Jen's eyes widened. "W-What? But how? He was destroyed?"

Eric chewed on his lip. "Yeah, apparently he's not the only one we thought was destroyed," he added dryly.

"What do you mean?" asked Jen.

Wes and Eric shared a look with each other, and then turned back to Jen. "Jason found one of the guys who we had thought was after you, Wes, Kim, and Justin…. It's Tommy," said Eric, stopping as he mentioned Tommy's name.

Jen's eyes lit up, she was shocked to say the least. But that did explain a few things. "Now it makes sense," said Jen. The two looked at her, confused. What was she talking about? None of this was making sense.

"What?" asked Wes.

Jen licked her lips. "The other two, they came here. They were after that ring…..they had a chance to shoot me, but didn't. Instead they shot the sprinkler system, which is why I'm all wet..." said Jen.

"You're okay though, right?" asked Wes putting his arm around her quickly. He didn't know what he would have done, if Jen had been shot.

Jen nodded her head, and reached for Wes's hand, holding it gently. "Yes, I'm fine. I'm just glad you're okay….with Sy-Kee back…"

Wes shook his head. "I know…"

Eric got up from his seat and walked around, thinking hard about the whole situation. "So what we first originally thought isn't the case. They don't seem to want to kill any of you…"

"Yeah, but that's still nothing to go on," said Wes.

Eric thought about it for a moment, and then he stopped right in front of Jen's desk. He stared at the two, as if a light bulb had gone off in his head. "Maybe not." Eric looked right at Wes. "Wes, we left out one of the most important pieces of evidence…. the ring you found..."

"Yeah, so?" Wes shook his head. "And it won't be much help to us now, they got it back..." he said.

Eric nodded his head. "Yes. But when you found it, you told me it was the same ring you had given Jen when you asked her to marry you, remember?"

Wes and Jen looked at each other and then back to Eric. They didn't see where this was going. "Yeah, so what does that have to do with the list of addresses and Tommy?" asked Wes, not seeing where Eric was going with this.

"Think about it. The list had Tommy's address on it, along with yours and Justin's. Now the ring has to have some kind of connection, and that connection is it was the same ring you had given Jen…"

"Are you saying that the other two people are Jen and Justin?" Wes laughed. "Eric, that's impossible; Jen has been with me…."

Eric nodded his head, knowing that it did sound crazy. "I know it sounds crazy, but….."

"It might not be as crazy as you think it is….." said Jen, feeling very uneasy; Wes put his arm around feeling very concerned.

"What do you mean?" asked Eric.

Jen took a deep breath. "I couldn't see their faces, but I did hear one of their names. The guy called the girl Scotts……"

Wes and Eric's eyes lit up. Scotts was Jen last name before she married Wes.

"What the heck is going on here? First Sy-Kee, then Tommy, and now this," said Wes. He began to wish it was what they had first thought: that someone was out to get them.

"I think there is a lot more to this than we know, a lot more," said Eric.
