Kyle looked at cobra a little nervously. "Uh, ok. Sure, ask away." Cobra sat back in the seat of the car. "I have been told that you've been in contact with Hamsterviel." Kyle nodded. "While the Grand council Woman has placed a spy in Gantu's ship we were unable to know what you and Hamsterviel were talking about." Kyle squinted. "Wait, you work for the Grand Council Woman?" cobra nodded. "Lilo didn't tell you?" Kyle shook his head. "No. I guess she didn't explain every detail." Cobra held out a large fist. Kyle looked down at it reading the letters tattooed on his knuckles. Kyle brought his pointer and middle finger to his head and lazily saluted cobra. Cobra withdrew his hand and placed it in his lap. "Do you mind telling me what you and Dr. Hamsterviel talked about?" Kyle looked around the car. There were a few features on the car he hadn't seen before. Huh? Ya sure. We… talked about … the weather and how the kids were." Kyle started to laugh and then looked around to see no one was laughing. "Yeah it really wasn't that funny was it? He wondered why I had been so determined to bust into Gantu's ship. Nothing really important. He insulted Gantu a few times and then that was it." The arm rest between the two front seats popped open and an experiment popped out buzzing and lighting up. "Fibber says you're lying." Kyle looked at cobra and then at the experiment. It sat on the arm rest smiling gleefully. Kyle made an ugly face at the experiment and then slowly turned back to Cobra. "How about this… You ask a question and I'll answer it truthfully." Cobra shrugged. "Fine with me. Did Hamsterviel mention any of his early genetic creations?" Kyle nodded. "Did he say that it was active." Careful, I need to make it look like I'm a separate entity from project alpha but not actually lie. "It's active." Cobra nodded. "Did he say what it was capable of?" Kyle shook his head. "He did show me the profile of it. it mentioned a few things. I guess he didn't know I can kinda read the Turian language. I caught a small bit of the profile. It's a creature that mostly works off of instincts." Cobra brought out a small pad of paper and made a few notes. "Is it on this island?" oh shit... uh… "It's somewhere on this island but Hamsterviel doesn't have possession of it as far as I know." Cobra finished writing, folded his pad of paper up, and put it away. "Stop here. Thank you Kyle. If anyone asks we didn't talk about this. We talked about who you were and got to know each other. Kyle glanced at fibber. No noise, no light. "Ya sure thing cobra." Kyle opened the door, got out and closed the door. The vehicle sped off away from the rest of the town.
Kyle looked around. He was next to the camera repair shop. I wonder if my film is done. Kyle walked into the shop. The old man stood behind the counter placing film strips into a paper envelope. "Oh, Hey! I was just putting your film in its package. I didn't get as many tourists as I though I would." Kyle walked over to the counter and fished his wallet out. "So that's how much?" The man punched a few buttons on an old cash register and the total was displayed in a green digital read our. "Ten Dollars and fifty cents." Kyle gave in eleven and got back a half dollar. Kyle folded the paper envelope carefully so that the film didn't crease, placed it in his back pocket and walked out the store. Kyle looked around… "Where the fuck is my van…. Ah shit…"
Gantu got up out of his bed and held a wet towel to his fore head. "uggggg… whatever that was in that dart. It sure knocked me out." 625 walked in with a sandwich on a plate. "Awww what's a matter 'G'. did that wittle earthling hit you with his nasty wittle weapon?" Gantu snatched the sandwich off the plate. "Not now 625! I have a head ache." 625 walked towards the door and stopped. "Well you gonna have an even bigger headache when Hamsterwheel yells at you for not answering his last message." Gantu got up quickly. "What!? Owwww my head…" Gantu walked out of his room and a view screen instantly got in his face. "Gantu! Why did you not answer my call?" Gantu cringed and looked around for the remote to the video screen. "You must capture the human again. The Grand Council Woman has come by my cell asking questions!" Gantu looked at 625 who was smiling. He grunted and flicked 625 aside finding the remote underneath him. "Gantu you need to capture him and administer…" Gantu pressed the mute button on the remote ceasing Dr. Hamsterviel's chatter. Gantu sighed. Gantu hit the subtitle button on the remote and text flew across the screen to quick to read. "Whoa Gantu he's really making up a lot of insults for you… I didn't even know that one existed… What's a Festering bag of flesh?" Gantu swatted 625 away. And recorded the message. "I don't want to deal with this. Ill figure out what he wants later. I need some rest!"
Kyle headed off into the forest just to the side of the beach. He wandered around through the trees for the most part until he saw his van. Kyle opened the back door and hopped in closing it behind him. He sat on his mattress and pulled out the film. Kyle reached over and grabbed a crate form underneath one of his wall mounted lockers, reached in and pulled out a small plastic box. He flipped a switch on the side and one surface lit up with light. He placed the film over the surface and looked at each slide. Kyle marked the slides he though were interesting. "Where are my scissors?" Kyle looked around. They were lying on his mattress next to him. He picked them up and looked at them "huh. They weren't there before." Kyle cut out the slides he liked and reached into his crate pulling out a plastic sheet. He placed the slides into jackets on the sheet and looked around. "Where's my permanent marker?" a small green paw holding a permanent marker moved into view. Kyle leapt off of the mattress and clung to his lockers. Shauni sat on the mattress holding a marker at him. Kyle slowly reached over and took the marker. "Uh thanks." Shauni nodded "Ih." Kyle wrote his name on the sheet of slide film and placed it in his backpack. Kyle sat down on the opposite end of the mattress. "What are you doing here? How did you find my van?" Shauni got up and stumbled across the mattress landing on Kyle's lap. "I missed you." Kyle picked her up and moved her away from him. "Okay you really need to stop that. Your acting like you're my girlfriend, and your not." Shauni sat down and hung her head on her shoulders. "Soka" "How did you find my van. I specifically drove out into the woods to be alone." Shauni walked over to Kyle's crate's and went through his stuff. "Why?" Kyle got up and pushed her away from the crate. He looked at the crate of papers and envelopes for a long time. "I don't know. I just…" Kyle picked up the crate and put it back in its place and sat down in front of Shauni.
"So is anyone missing you back at Lilo's place or are you staying here?" Shauni smiled. "Here." Kyle walked over to the front of the vehicle and reached under the passenger seat. He pulled out a small blue blanket and threw it at Shauni. "here." Shauni squirmed trying to get the blanket off her head. Kyle put the key in the ignition and turned it on. The dash board let out a slight buzzing sound. All of the instruments light up. He looked at the clock. It was six o'clock. "I dunno about you but I'm going to bed early. Shauni looked back at the mattress and got up but was quickly distracted by a loud grinding sound. Shauni looked back at Kyle. He had reclined the seat all the way back and was dangling his arms off the seat. Shauni grabbed the blanket and walked up to the front of the van slowly trying to not make any noise. She placed the blanket in the passenger seat and laid onto of it. Shauni curled up and faced Kyle. Why is he so cold? Doesn't he get lonely? Kyle started to snore with his mouth wide open. Shauni snorted. Goodnight Kyle. Shauni slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
