Chapter 9: You Dirty Rat

"Three hours," Jinx said," Three hours of sleep was all I got!" "You sure about that?" Python remarked as he gave off a small smile. "Shut up." Jinx said as she punched him in the arm." "Calm down," Python said," I thought I filled your desires tonight." "It's not that. It's just that Accent man and bastard-san called us back to help them. I wanted to rest. But no. They need our help, once again." "Hey, did we get paid?" Python asked as they continued to walk up the ramp to the top floor. "Yeah, ten Gs. Pretty good on their part." She replied. "So, we can demand them to give us more money because they woke us up early." "And if they refuse?" Jinx asked. "I got some insurance." He said as he patted the dufflebag that carried his weapons.

As they reached the top of the garage, they expected the lights of the vehicle to turn on like last time. Of course, being it five A.M. ands still dark, it would make sense, but they didn't turn on. "It was a trick," Jinx said with anger in her voice," I will kill them when I find them. "Just give it a minute." Python said as he continued to walk forward. "Mod? Chang? We're here. We got the message. We can thank you for getting us out of that cheap hotel room." "You better have a good explanation!" Jinx yelled out. Just then, they heard someone behind them say," Turn…around…slowly." As they Ddi this, they saw Chang pointing his PPK at them. Meanwhile, Mod was in front of a convertible, his hand on his cane.

"Drop it, Chang." Python said. "I wouldn't do such a thing," he said," I will kill you." "You wouldn't. You haven't turn the safety off." Python said as Chang reached to turn it off. But, Python quickly took out the gun that he kept underneath his jacket and hit the safety off. He then pointed the Colt at him as Jinx raised her hand and it glowed purple. "Will you three quit it! I want answers, not bloodshed." Mod said as he walked over to them, his cane making a droning noise as it hit the cement ground. Chang and Python put away their weapons as Jinx got rid of the purple glow that had residated from her hand. "If I had my technology, I could finish you here." Chang hissed at Python. "What is wrong with you guys?!" Jinx asked," We get up way too early, come to help you, and you want to kill us!" "I think we better get to the point." Mod said.

"You better before gun shots start going off. Wouldn't want the cops on your tail." Python said. "That is the problem!" Chang yelled. "What do you mean?" he asked. "Well, the assassination of our contact was a success," Mod said," but, we have a problem." "When me and Mod headed back to our covert lab, the police and Interpool were swarming the area," Chang said," we had to get out of there before the worst happened." "I understand the cops, but why would Interpool get involved?" Jinx asked. "The thing is that we didn't tell you that the man we had you killed was a high ranking U.N. official." "Oh my God!" Jinx yelled as Python put his hand palm open to his face, "Congratulations, we're all screwed !" "If we, as in all of us, were screwed, then why did myself and Chang try to kill you?" "Like to figure that out myself." Python said as he removed his hand from his face. "Someone ratted us out to the police," Chang said," and we have determined the culprits to be you!

"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa! Back up! I may be a killer, but I am not a rat!" Python yelled. "Well, someone rated us out. So, if it wasn't you, then who? Maybe Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny did it!" Chang yelled. "Shut up before I kick both your fricken' asses!" Jinx yelled. As the two stooped, Mod said," You're forceful woman is right. We have t work together. Please, get us to the airport for me and Chang to escape the country." "Fine," Python said," but you owe us big." "I can not believe I agree with this." Chang said as the four headed over to the convertible. "Looks like a reject from a 60s movie." Python said as he looked at the car. It was blue and had a Union Jack on the hood. "This is a classic." Mod said as he got in the back with Chang. Jinx and Python got in the car, but had to switch seats upon realizing the driver's seat was on the other side. "I hate British cars." Python said as he got in and started the car up. He then drove the car out of the multilevel garage and drove down the road.

It was about thirty minutes to sunrise as the four were heading down the road. Just then, as they passed through an intersection, two black vans pulled out from either side. "Halt your vehicle," a French accent said as it came from a speaker on top, "this is Interpool. You are under arrest." Okay, don't panic," Python began," as long as we keep our cool…" He was cut of as a police chopper hovered over head. This caused Chang to panic and take out his PPK, firing shots at it. Mod ripped the weapon out of his and yelled, "Are you insane?!' as he threw it to the ground. "So much for that plan." Python said as he put the hammer down on the vehicle, speeding up and maneuvering through traffic. The vans also matched the speed as officers leaned out the passenger windows and fired shots at them from pistols. The helicopter did the same thing as them, but was firing rounds from an automatic. "Jinx." Python replied. "I thought you'd never ask." She replied as she aimed her hand palm open at the chopper. A blast of energy then erupted from her hand and hit the chopper's blades. They stooped suddenly and the flying machine began a fast, spinning descent to Earth. It then hit the side of a building and a massive explosion occurred. Pieces of debris started to fall onto the road, causing the driver of one of the vans to swerve in confusion. This caused him to crash into the other van and put the chase to an end. "Glad that's over with." Jinx said as she turned her head from the destruction. "I love you." He said as he turned his head toward her and kissed her neck. "Keep your eyes on the road, lover boy." Jinx commented as Python turned his head back to the road and continued driving.

The sun was rising from the horizon as the convertible drove onto the runway. "There it is." Mod said as he pointed to a small Grey jet a few feet away. The car pulled up as the four got out, Python grabbed his dufflebag, and they headed to the plane. As the door opened on the plane, Mad Mod turned to them and said, "Thank you for your help." "I may not agree with him, but I too must say so. You may have called the police, but at least your even less of a piece of scum then I thought you were." "I guess I take that as a compliment." Python replied. "Hey guys," Jinx said," we got company." The others looked out at the runway to see a multitude of black vans headed their way. "Looks like we're coming." Python said. "Very well." Mod said as they hurried onto the plane. Mod got into the pilot's seat as the other three got into the passenger seats. "You can fly this thing?" Jinx asked. "Three years of flight school." He replied as he got the plane going and the vans followed in pursuit, firing gun shots at them. "Where are we going?" Python asked Chang. "To Wales," Chang said," we would of gone to Hong Kong, but I had some problems with my government." As he finished, the plane took of from the runway and headed into the sky.

3 weeks later…

A heavy fog had settled onto the countryside landscape. No one could see three feet in front of them due too its thickness. Looming in the middle of this was a grand manor on a rocky cliff, overlooking the once clear fields. From one of its many clear glass windows, Python looked out it. He was in one of the bedrooms. It was nice room, with a king-size bed, glass chandelier, and a roaring fireplace. Jinx had gone out of the room to get a snack, which would be the last since they were leaving today. Receiving no calls from Blood, it was a nice, quiet time for him and Jinx. No missions, no assignments, no nothing. Just sight seeing the English countryside and eating some food. What a good time that was.

Just then, there came a knock at the door. "Come in." he said as Mod and Chang entered. "We would like, once again, to thank you for your services. Even though they were unnecessary." Chang said. "Well, I had a great time here, so thanks." "No then, on to business if we may set aside all other matters," Mod said as he looked sternly at Chang," do you know a lot of Blood?" "All I got is he runs a huge school and as some sort of hypnotic glare on his students." Python said. "You are correct. You see, Blood posses a strange psychic ability. This allows him to control the minds of those that are weaker then him." Chang said. "That explains a lot." Python said. "Yes, but we have found a way around it." He replied as he reached into his pocket and handed a see through, plastic cylinder container to Python. He looked in to see a small, red pill. "That pill is contained with a special chemical. When the pill is ingested, the chemical is carried up the path of the spinal cord and into the brain, where it settles. There, it will deflect any attempt Blood will try. A person can swallow it whole, chew it, or dissolve it in liquid." "Once again, thanks," Python said as he put the container in his pocket and grabbed his dufflebag," I know just how to us it. I hope to see you again." He then passed by the two and headed out the door. "He may be a jackass, but he may go on to great things." Chang said.

The plane Python and Jinx were on was slowly drifting through the clouds, on its way back to Jump City. "I tell ya. Mod did a good job engaging the autopiolet on this thing." Python said. You got that right." Jinx said. "I got a surprise for you." He said. With that, he opened a side compartment and pulled out a tray with two glasses on it containing sparkling wine. "You know, I don't really drink wine." Jinx said as Python handed her the glass. "Don't worry. I can tell you, you are going to enjoy this one." He replied. Jinx hesitated, but drank from it as Python also did. "That was good. Thanks." She replied as she put down the glass on the tray in front of her. "Well, we have another three hours ahead of us," Python said," what are we going to do then?" Jinx looked at him, smiled, and said, "Just sit back and relax. Your stewardess is here to take care of you." She then got off of her chair and sat down on his lap. "Smooth flying from here on out." Python said as she leaned down and kissed him, which he returned.
