Josh Attacks Tara and Norman Meets the Big Boss
Back in Middleton, Felix is staying by Tara's bedside, watching her sleep when he feels a hand clamped over his mouth and a sharp pulling from his wheelchair. When he lands on the floor, he sees the person responsible.
"Josh Mankey, you better have a good reason for this."
Josh smiles savagely and replies, "I do." He then goes over and starts hitting Tara, waking her. As Tara screams, Felix lifts himself up onto his arms to try to protect her.
He then yells, "Josh, you are not an honorable man at all! Like Ron said, you're a psychotic monkey! Now, leave her alone!" To emphasize his point, he grabs Josh's leg and bites it, receiving a boot in his mouth for his trouble.
Josh says, "You're a loser like Stoppable. I don't listen to losers, especially crippled ones!" He then turns his attention to Felix and starts kicking him, leaving Tara able to reach the call button on her bed and press it.
A Nurse comes and sees the sight. She then yells out, "Security! Room 328, stat!" She is then surprised when Josh storms up to her and slugs her in the stomach.
He then says, "Don't you know it's rude to interrupt private conversations? I'll show you just how rude it is!" He then pushes her onto the floor by her face and starts kicking her.
He hears Security Officers run up at him and elects to run off, yelling, "Tell Kim the same thing will happen to her if she doesn't come back into my arms!"
Inside, the room, Tara looks down and screams. "Felix! Oh, Felix." She gets out of the bed gently and goes to his side. She cradles his head in her arms and kisses him, saying, "Don't close your eyes, look at me Felix. Don't close your eyes. Listen to my voice and you'll be all right."
Felix looks up, grins and says, "Either I died and went to Heaven, or there is an angel that looks like Tara holding my head." He then grimaces in pain and struggles to stay awake, knowing he's in shock. Tara can only giggle softly and kiss him, trying to coax him into staying awake.
She examines his face and says, "You suffered some facial damage, possibly chest damage as well from the kicking that Monkey gave you." She looks and sees the Nurse, on the floor, clutching her stomach and sobbing. She then asks, "Nurse, you okay?"
The Nurse meekly nods and crawls her way into the room. She looks at Tara and says, "You look like you got slugged by a sledgehammer. He looks like he got battered by a jackhammer. I probably look the same, somewhat."
Tara can only nod as the Security Officers get to her room and report that Josh had gotten clean away. They then assist the Nurse onto Tara's bed and Felix into his wheelchair, handling both gently. The Doctor then comes in and examines Tara.
She then says, "Felix first. He's hurt worse than I am. He may have some internal bleeding as well as a possible hemorrhage in his head. Then the Nurse, then you can check me." The Doctor nods and looks over Felix.
He then says, "Let's get him into surgery, stat!" He turns to Tara and says, "I don't know how, but you may have saved his life. It's too soon to tell though. I'll keep you posted, Miss King." Tara nods and the Doctor adds, "I'll call his Mother and inform her of what has happened so she can file charges against the responsible parties." The Doctor then leaves the room, assigning a new intern to examine the Nurse.
The intern walks up and says, "My name's Tom. What's your's?"
The Nurse replies, "Nicole. I'm really hurting, Tom. I think I may have some broken ribs." She looks over at Tara and asks, "Do you know the jerk that did this?"
Tara replies, "Before a friend of mine got married, she dated him. She then realized her true feelings and went with a nice guy which is now her husband. As a result, he got really steamed and tried to ruin their wedding." Nicole nods as Tom gently lifts her up and puts her in a wheelchair.
He then says, "Next stop, x-ray, rehab and Green River." Nicole tries not to laugh, but finds it hard not to do so, taking in a painful breath. Tom notices this and says, "For right now, the best advice I can give you is no laughing. Wait till your ribs are healed up enough and you'll be laughing your head off without a problem." With that, Tom wheels Nicole out of the room, causing Tara to shake her head and giggle even though she is in pain. She then starts to wonder how Street Hawk and the others are doing.
Back in Lowerton, Norman is being interrogated by the Sho-Da-Kah members still alive after his initial assault.
"Who was your friend?"
"What was your dream?"
"How many in your attack force?"
Norman struggles for breath after getting punched in the stomach with each question and he answers, "Jesse Mach, a former motorcycle Police Officer. To have a Street Hawk in every Police garage. I was acting alone. Pretty silly of me, I guess." He lets out a slight chuckle, only to have another fist slammed into his stomach. He then thinks, 'It's a good thing I didn't eat anything, otherwise I'd be barfing all over this guy. Though it would be a lot of fun seeing the look on his face when barf comes at him.' That thought done, he lets out another peal of crazed laughter, only to have a fist slammed into his face.
As he goes unconscious, he hears, "Mr. Tuttle, I don't know what you find so amusing. But I'll find out when you wake back up. You have the word of John Miller on that."
As he sees Norman go unconscious, former Police Commissioner John Miller of the L.A.P.D. turns to his lackeys and says, "The minute he comes to, let me know. I want to know everything there is to know about that cycle and it's weaknesses. From my understanding, this is a new and improved model that's roaming around Middleton. I don't think a mere missile will stop it, like the last one."
He then chuckles and says, "Who would have thought? A former motorcycle cop on profile being a vigilante on a motorcycle. Even though I had great misgivings about killing Mach, you actually did the right thing. Corrido was right. Mach was a liability, even when posing as a handicapped man."
In the air, five hours later, Kim, Ron, Bonnie and Hirotaka are going over the battle plan with Sky Base on autopilot. "Bonnie, you're with Sky Base. You can fly it real well and teach Hirotaka how to fly in case you happen to be on War Bird duty. Hirotaka, learn from her, she's the best pilot, aside from Norman. KP, once again, you're my back-up. When we charge the house, be expecting a whole lot of trouble, so be ready to fire the guns. I'll fly in through the window on the cycle and free Norman. Hopefully he'll feel up to a cycle ride. I know this sounds easy, but sometimes, things do go south. Bonnie, when we come back with Norman, hit the J.A.T.O. and make for the Hospital. Norman may have suffered a wound and may need treatment."
He smiles grimly and puts his fist out. Nodding, Kim slams her fist in, Bonnie, smiling her barracuda smile and Hirotaka slam their fists in as well.
Bonnie then says, "All in, all out. Right, Ron?" Ron nods and he and Kim start arming up, putting their respective arms on and unstrap the vehicles. While they unstrap the vehicles, Bonnie sees they're getting close to Lowerton and silences the engines, allowing for a stealthy approach. She nods for Hirotaka to hit the VTOL button and he does so, a smile on his face.
He then says, "May not be active duty, but at least I can help somewhat. Right, Bonnie?"
Bonnie smiles and replies, "You got it, Hirotaka."
Inside the house, Norman starts coming around and sees a familiar looking man. He searches his brain and remembers who it is. "Former Police Commissioner John Miller of the L.A.P.D. Fired from the Department on charges of criminal conspiracy and accomplice to capital murder."
Miller shakes his head no and says, "I didn't want anyone dead. It was all Corrido. He's the one that killed Walsh. He got to me and offered me large sums of cash for drug information. If you were in my shoes, you would have done the same thing."
Norman sneers and says, "No, I wouldn't, lard-ass. Unlike you, I have honor and am glad for it. Jesse had the same kind of honor as well. When he locked me in that weight room that glorious day, I felt hurt. But then I remembered what your psycho buddies did to him and realized the best Justice is Justice you do yourself." He chuckles and says, "I'm glad he sent Corrido off of that cliff. If he hadn't, more people would be dead from that crap you were helping him steal."
Miller can't take any more and he slugs Norman in the mouth, saying, "The next time you say his name with disrespect, I'll kill you myself, Mr. Tuttle. Now, tell me about your newest cycle. It's weapons and weaknesses."
Norman grins and replies, "Take a long walk off a short pier, Porky. I'm not telling you a friggin' thing about that cycle. So, on that note, go play with yourself. If you can." He then lets out a solid laugh and keeps laughing even though he's getting slugged by Miller. He then hears a familiar voice.
"Norman, hang in there. The calvary's coming. It's not your time yet. You have ten more years before we see each other again. So just hang in there, buddy. Just hang in there."
Norman looks in front of him and smiles. He says, "Jesse, I just want to say how..."
"Don't worry about that, Norman. You already told me at my grave, remember. I left you a message. It's with Kim and Ron. I contacted them. I won't go into details now, but you'll hear when you hear the tape. Take good care of Felix, Jane, Tara and little Norman. You'll see when you find out." He then starts fading away.
Norman cries out, "Jesse, wait!" He gets another fist in his face from Miller.
Miller then snarls, "Jesse Mach's dead, Mr. Tuttle. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you have lost your mind from all this beating. Now, tell me about the cycle."
Norman grins, chuckles and asks, "Does the phrase, 'Go suck a wiener' hold any meaning for you?" Miller is about to strike Norman again when, suddenly, they hear a familiar engine.
