Chatper 3 - Meeting a New Family

The search took them to Maxwell Street. 932 Maxwell Street to be exact. Martin sighed.

"Three families down, about twenty more to go!" Martin shook his head and sighed again. "Who wants to knock now?"

"Java will!" Java almost knocked down the door.

"Hello?" A teen about 5 ft 4 answered the door. "If you want my sister, she's not here! She disappeared yesterday! HAPPY NOW?!"

"Um...that's what we came to find out. Can we come in?" Diana asked trying to hold back Martin who was ready to kill the teen.

"Yeah, but you had to have a screaming fit on us," Martin snapped.

"Yeah...well...get a new hairstyle!" the teen closed the door and laughed.

"I'm sorry, my son has poor manners," a woman 7 ft 9 said. She had long brown hair and a large nose. A man about 3 ft 6 came up, "This is my husband." Diana and Martin gawked.

After a half an hour the three left to go to their hotel and rest.

"They all have the same stories. I'm too tired to think. We can go over this in the morning!"

(After they all went to bed)

Martin sat up in a cold sweat. He looked at the clock..."Midnight," sighing he got out of bed and went to the bathroom to have a cold shower.

"What was with that dream?" Martin asked himself sitting on the bed.

"Martin ok?" Java asked waking up.

"Yeah...just a little...tired..." sleep was drawing him in again.

(Dream)

Martin wandered around when a strange oozing liquid came up his legs and torso pinning him to the ground. Martin tried to move but it was no use. He just wouldn't budge thanks to that stuff. His arms were neck, then his mouth and nose.

'Can't breathe...hurts so...feel light headed...must...'

(End Dream)

"MARTIN!" Diana screamed.

"Huh..." Martin looked up to see his step-sister worried sick and Java patching up a minor cut on his face.

"Martin what happened?" Diana asked removing the cloth on his forehead.

"I...uh...had a dream...nothing big," Martin sat up and shook away the dizziness. "Let's get going on the mission!" Martin made his way to the bathroom and pulled on some clean clothes.

"What's up with Martin today?" Diana asked Java.

"Martin not well...make him rest..." Java pointed out.

"I guess but-"

"AHH!"

"Martin!" Diana pushed the bathroom door open and saw Martin on the floor unconscious.

Billy arrived just in time to see Martin in bed asleep.

"Arent you guys supposed to be on a mission?" Billy asked a little aw struck that Martin was still in bed.

"Yeah but Martin collapsed in the bathroom after he screamed and now he's running a high fever. Some thing is going on in his head." Diana sighed and sat down in a chair.

"I have an idea. How about I look after Martin so you and Java can go and investigate. Besides, some quality time with Marty will help me pick up some girls!" Billy cheered.

"Uh...it's a good idea about keeping an eye on Martin but don't take his dating ideas. Trust me. They don't work, besides, we won't miss Martin." Diana sighed and thought, 'At least I hope we won't.' Diana waved good bye and told Billy she and Java would be back later.

'Better not tell Marty about that one,' Billy thought and hovered next to a sleeping Martin.

Diana buzed the apartment number and the door opened. Java and Diana entered the elevator, possibly slower than the one on Centenial Park Place and talked with Java.

"Any idea about what's going on? Why are so many people disapearing on the water?" Diana asked Java.

"Java not know! Wish Martin here?" Java sulked.

"So do I, but I really don't know what's wrong with him." The elevator door opened. "Were on the 6th floor. Come on Java," Diana pulled the caveman to apartment 605a. It was a divided apartment. There was side a, b, and c.

Java knocked on the door lightly. The whole building shook.

"A little lighter next time Java," Diana said as the door opened.

"H-Hello?" A woman with long red hair and blue eyes opened the door. She was young, she looked around 17-18 tops.

"Hi. I'm Diana, this is Java, and this is-" Diana noticed her missing companion and sighed, "May we come in?"

"S-sure, my b-boyfriends n-not..."

"We know what happened to him," Diana said in a comforting voice noticing her studering. Her body was shaking and Diana was half expecting Martin to make a smart remark but knew he wouldn't. One: He wasn't there, Two: He wouldn't hit on a girl who had a boyfriend.

Diana took a seat down on the pink sofa in the blue painted living room. Elegant flowers of black were all along the blue wall. Diana looked out the window.

"Nice view you have here," she wanted the girl to relax, "What's your name?"

"K-Katie Hill."

"You married Jake Hill?" Diana asked.

"Yes. Why's that so hard to believe?" Katie asked.

"Oh...never mind. Um..when did you last see Mr. Hill?" Diana asked the girl.

"Uh...last night. He took his yacht out with some friends. Next thing I know he calls me and is screaming for me to call 911. Jake dropped his phone and all I heard was screaming again."

"Well find a way to get him back." Diana told the sobbing girl.

"Thank you."

'Huh? Where's Diana? Oh no! I'm late for a mission!' Martin sat up but was pushed down. A headache started to form, a massive one.

"Take it easy Marty. You need some sleep."

"Billy...what are you doing here? Where's Diana? Where's Java Where-"

"Calm down Agent Mystery. We did a scan on your brain and system. Seems your fine but there was an eratic action in your brain. Did you have a dream?" M.O.M asked.

"Y-I mean no. Nothing is wrong," Martin lied. M.O.M knew it and Billy knew it. All they had to do was get Martin to talk. M.O.M pulled Billy aside.

"What is it?" he asked in a whisper.

"Keep Martin here. I want to be informed if he has any problems in his sleep tell me. This is not normal, even for him." M.O.M disapeared through a portal. Martin looked like he was sweating badly.

"Are you okay Marty?" Billy asked.

"Yeah...it's just...my stomach really...AHH!" Martin screamed. A woman in all black appeared and shot a sticky substance at Billy making him stuck to the wall.

"Who are you?" Billy asked angrily.

"Soon Martin...soon." She bent down and stroked the blondes face. He was in extreme pain and as soon as her fingers touched him. He screamed in pain as her hand made it's way all the way to his heart. He cried in sheer agony. "Yes...the perfect-"

A portal opened and M.O.M stepped out with a loaded gun with a net in the bullet.

"Step away from Agent Mystery or I'll be forced to shoot!"

"Why?" the black dress flew up in power sending shockwaves through the room. Her aim was M.O.M since the gun fell out of her hands. Billy yelled angrily as a blast of power was about to hit M.O.M. She was cornered..she was in trouble...

Her eyes widened in shock.

"Oh no!"

Fallen Mercy: HA HA HA! I'LL LEAVE IT THERE!

Martin: /Hits her with a book/ HEY! KEEP THIS CHAPTER GOING!

Fallen: No. /Signs off net/
