A/N- I am soooooo sorry for not updating in almost two year. But, here is the next chapter.

Chapter 2 Sketchy's Safety

Brian walks in to Jam Pony and quickly scans the room for Sketchy. Thanks to his enhanced senses he finds him in no time. He was to the other 'ordinary' that was in Terminal City about the article.

O.C.: Nice job Sketch, this should really help them out.

Sketchy: You think so?

O.C.: Of course. Original Cindy don't lie.

Brian walks up behind them and interrupts.

Brian: Maybe so, but now your in danger.

Sketchy: Who are you? And, why do you say that?

Brian: My name is Brian. (He turns around and shows them his barcode.) Max sent me. She read your article and is very grateful, but she thinks that your life may be in danger now. The 'Familars' may see you as a threat.

Sketchy's face pales when he realizes that the kid is right.

Sketchy: Oh man! Now what do I do?

Brian: That is why she sent me to protect you.

Sketchy: Oh, that's a relief.

O.C.: Sketchy, don't do something stupid just because you have a super human bodyguard. Those 'Familars' are some real bad asses. Even she has had trouble with them in the past.

Sketchy: I guess your right.

O.C.: And don't you forget it.

On the other side of the city Ames White is reading the article. He puts it down and picks up his cell phone to call the Conclave leader.

Conclave leader: Fen'ostol. White: Fen'ostol. We have a situation.

Conclave leader: What kind of a situation?

White: a magazine article exposing us, and more specifically it exposes me.

Conclave leader: How did a reporter find out anyway?

White: It seems that 452 gave him an interview. No doubt, in an effort to expose us.

Conclave leader: Deal with the reporter and attempt some damage control.

White: Yes, sir. Fen'ostol.

Conclave leader: Fen'ostol.

White puts down the phone and picks up the article once more.

White: You are a dead man Mr. Theodore.

What do you think? Should I continue? If so let me know. Please review.
