I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS! ENJOY!

Anthony got a lead on Maddison and had gone to the Griffin Observatory but when he pulled in he saw Maddison pulling out in her car! So he had to leave. If he knew that just a few moments ago that Maddison had tried to kill the three Angels...his Dylan...then he probably would have lost it! He didn't know what was going on with Maddison, Max or the Angels but he was determined to find out! A few minutes later, a black Audi pulled into the observatory lot and Smith got out. Had he been human, he would have had a concussion or a pounding headache but he didn't. Instead he just scanned the property trying to find Anthony. He knew he was headed here but he must be inside! Smith went inside and after searching a little determined that the building was far too large to search on foot, so he found the security room and after knocking out the only pitiful guard in there he watched all the monitors and didn't see Anthony on any of them. "He has to be hiding somewhere. There must be a way to get these cameras to change angles or get me better lighting so that he can't hide in the dark." Smith started flipping switches and punching buttons in his desperation to find Anthony, however there was just one little thing...Smith didn't know how to operate the board and was too impatient to access the information from the Matrix mainframe! As a result, lights went on and off, the educational program turned on and started projecting star constellations...just pure chaos! It looked like a disco in the main hall! Smith stopped for a minute and stared at the only button left that he hadn't pushed yet. "Hmm... what does THIS one do?"

Outside on the observatory lawn, the three Angels woke up and rubbed their heads and pulled out their bullets from their kevlar vests. "Damn! What a be-otch!" Alex cried. Inside, Smith pressed the button. The sprinklers came on and now they were wet.

Smith sighed. He guessed that he must have just missed Anthony and walked out the observatory. He looked to his left and noticed three women walking to their car. They were soaking wet. Smith laughed to himself. "Stupid humans! Those silly girls don't even know enough to keep away from running sprinklers!" He was still grinning over their plight when a sprinkler he hadn't seen went off and sprayed him on his head! It then seemed to break as it now only let a trickle of water out at a time. However, it had done it's damage and Smith stood there, hair soaking wet and dripping down his shoulders. He looked up to the sky and he wondered what he had done to deserve this. When would this horrible day end? He took out a handkerchief from his suit and tried to dry his head. When he was done, he heard a loud voice screaming "ASTAIRE!" It was one of the silly girls, she was now on one knee with arms spread out wide. Smith rolled his eyes. "Stupid, stupid, humans." He walked to his car and then he heard a loud explosion! He looked over towards the Angels. It was their car, it had exploded and was now on fire! He seen that the explosion had knocked the girls off their feet and were now in a heap, one on top of the other! "What? Why did their car just explode like that?" Smith paused and then came to the conclusion that Anthony must have done it! "Well, he IS an assassin after all." Smith got in his car and glanced at the girls on the lawn in his rear view mirror. "Poor silly girls. I wonder who'd want you dead?" Smith then drove away.

"I think she's trying to kill us," Dylan said.

That evening was the big movie premiere of "Maximum Extreme 2" the movie starring Jason Gibbs. In the crowd, noone noticed a thin man in a black pin striped suit as he took pictures with a large camera. It flashed as he took a picture and he took a drag on his cigarette. He knew Maddison was doing something tonight and it was big! He followed key players in this scheme and found himself on the rooftop of the Los Angeles Theater across from a hotel. In the meantime, Smith had also been in the crowd of movie goers and went completely unnoticed as well. He reached to his earpiece and then he found himself on the rooftop of the hotel, having taken control over yet another FBI agent! He watched as they rounded up men and pushed them back into the hotel. He was in the back of the crowd so they didn't notice him.

Anthony watched as the Angels fought with Maddison and the O'Grady mob men. Suddenly, Alex noticed him and then tried to hit him. He blocked her and then stabbed a man who was going to kill her. She seemed surprised. He put his sword back in the cane and stared at Alex. Suddenly, he heard a cry. It was Dylan! She was being pushed off the roof by Seamus! He didn't even think, he just reacted. He drew the sword out again and ran for Seamus to run him through, only Seamus seen him coming out of the corner of his eye and jumped out of the way! Anthony swung at him again only to have him grab the end of the sword with both hands! Anthony glared at him in hate and spun around and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying off the roof! Anthony grabbed Dylan up. She was gasping because Seamus had tried to strangle her. Anthony gritted his teeth in anger, not at Dylan but at himself. How stupid he was to not even realize that she had been a target too! Just like Max. Stupid, stupid! Then all of a sudden he realized that Dylan wasn't fighting him. His face softened as he pulled her to him and kissed her. He ran his fingers through her hair and realized she was kissing him back! It was too much for him, he broke the kiss and ripped a lock of her hair off. "Ow, ouch!" she cried and made a pouting face. She rubbed her head and looked at Anthony as he stood there screaming in ecstasy and confusion.

At that same moment on the hotel rooftop, Smith heard Anthony screaming and took his gun out. He hadn't been able to see very well his vantage point and missed seeing the kiss. Which was EXTREMELY lucky for both Anthony and Dylan! He aimed at Anthony. "Good-Bye...Mr. Anthony."

Anthony had rubbed the lock of red hair over his face and between screams inhaled the fragrance. He stared at Dylan. What was she doing? Dylan had pulled by chance a lock of Anthony's hair out and was rubbing it on her face and smelled it, smiling! She was now trying to show him that she wanted to understand him and that she accepted him for who he was...a misunderstood assassin angel of mercy and kindness and even deeper still...a person who loved very deeply those he cared for! His secret was his loving, gentle heart and soul! But that was not his only secret...would she ever know? About the Matrix? No, Anthony knew that even if what he was seeing before him was real...that she liked him and maybe even loved him, that he would still never tell her, what good would it do? Only scare and confuse her, just as it had a seven year old boy once, long ago. Anthony couldn't believe what he was seeing, he just had to know...what did she mean? What did this gesture mean? Did she really want to get to know him? To be his girlfriend? His face went blank and fearful. "What?" he whispered.

Dylan's face brightened."Yes, say something!" she encouraged Anthony.

"What?..."Anthony whispered again and sputtered out sounds. He wanted to speak to her. He really did! But she had taken his words away just like in that song by Meatloaf where the guy was going to tell his girl he loved her until she took the words right out of his mouth by kissing him. Anthony struggled for a minute and then all of a sudden, a horrible pain in his chest took his breath away, he gasped and grabbed at his chest where now a sword...his sword was sticking through it!

"Good-Bye...Mr. Anthony," Smith said and took aim at Anthony. He was just starting to pull the trigger when he stopped. Something was sticking out of Anthony's chest. Was it...? Yes, it was Anthony's own sword!

Anthony stumbled to the side and backwards. "Mind if I CUT in?" Seamus taunted. He had climbed up the side of the building with Anthony's sword and had ran him through with it! Anthony fell backwards over and off the roof. He heard his beloved cry "NNOOO!" then he fell to the ground below at least nine or ten stories! He got the wind knocked out of him and then he seen Seamus falling towards him and got the wind knocked out of him again! Seamus had been impaled by falling on top of Anthony at an odd angle. Seamus spit out blood. Anthony reached for the Irish SOB, he had to try to get him off of him! Then Seamus covered up his head as the giant letter E fell on top of him. It never really fell on Anthony. Then Anthony summoned up the strength to push and roll over Seamus to the right side. Now to get the sword out of him and Seamus. He first pushed on Seamus to get the sword out of him. Seamus groaned slightly. He was very limp. Anthony then pushed his sword into himself. The pain was excruciating! He then heard the sword drop behind him on the ground. He had to rest a minute, puffing and panting leaning doubled over against a wall. Then Seamus rolled over and groaned, "She's mine you know. Helen will always be mine." Seamus laughed and then coughed up blood. "When I get up from here, I'll TAKE her and oh, the things I'll do to her..." Anthony had had ENOUGH! He didn't exactly know who this guy was but he knew he was NOT going to do ANYTHING to Dylan! He picked up his sword and walked over to Seamus. "If you kill me, you're dead. My mates will kill you! We're the O'Grady mob don't you know! " Anthony raised the sword over his head, still panting from the very bad wound. "You haven't got the guts you bloody wuss-" Anthony screamed the most blood curdling scream you ever heard. Even he didn't know where it came from! He thrust the sword right through Seamus' heart. He died instantly with the most shocked look on his face you ever saw in your life! Then Anthony just stood there and looked up at the sky. It was full of stars. Suddenly he was the most peaceful he had ever felt. He then took his sword and left the alley going out into the night.

Smith knew he had better check and see if Anthony had survived the impaling and the fall. He rushed to the alley as fast as he could. There he saw no trace of Anthony but he did see a dead body and the broken letter E. Smith had missed him again! Anthony was out there somewhere! He thought he had heard him scream, now he was sure! Anyway, there was nothing for Smith here, so he turned and left the alley and found his way back at the movie premiere. He was at the back of the crowd when three lovely Angels dressed in beautiful evening ware for the occasion, went past him. The blonde one bumped into him. "Oh, Excuse me!" Natalie said, her bubbly personality had no effect on Smith though. "Bosley!" he heard them cry happily. "Disgusting! The way these people act around celebrities...especially the women, the so-called fangirls! The way they paw, drool and hang all over some poor actor! I feel bad for this Jason Gibbs character. I bet right now he has some woman all over him."

"Jason!" Alex screamed.

"Alex," he sputtered laying on the red carpet where Alex had just threw him. She got on the floor and reached for him. "No..I thought we were on a time out!"

"We were, but now we're back in the game baby!" Alex grabbed and kissed him.

"If I were a celebrity..." Smith actually shuddered at the thought! "I know I would rather die than have fangirls hanging all over me!"
