Chapter 3: Café Clash/ Midnight Assault
Cammy woke up the next morning to find Glenn watching the hotel TV with the volume low enough to let other people sleep respectively. She sighed and looked at the red head, with a weird hair-do, bits and strands or his long hair was, amazingly, standing on end and spiking out like a weird Dragon Ball Z show (as a matter of fact, his hair was already like that, to clear things up. If you've played the game Masashi then you'll know what I'm talking about… If not…. Can't help you there, you your imagination to it's furthest potential). She looked at the TV screen and saw that he was watching the Blue Collar Comedy Tour Rides Again with Ron White as he was making fun of his dog, Slugo. She sighed as she looked back at Glenn, whom had to burry his face into a pillow to keep his insistent laughing don to an absolute minimum, which really didn't work. Cammy rolled off of the bed and walked over to the bathroom in her kitten pajamas, holding a towel and a shower cap. "Morning…" She said weirdly. Glenn looked up with a small grin. The screen swapped to a commercial break as Glenn got up and sat on the bed.
"Morning, Cammy!" He said childishly. She paid no heed and entered to bathroom. Once she had disappeared, the phone rang. Glenn got off of the bed and answered it.
Cammy had heard the phone rang and grabbed the doorknob, but didn't open the door as she heard Glenn answer it. She pressed her ear to the door to listen better. "Hello?" There was silence, so Cammy quickly turned the shower on and cracked the door. "What? How did you get this number?" Glenn asked in concern as, for some reason, he looked at the door. Cammy knew that this wasn't good. "Who are you!" He asked…
"That's none of your concern…" Said a dark clad suit. Nothing shown but his chin line and the bottom of his nose. He stood in a pay phone booth next to a hotel and continued to give instructions as he looked up to the window, seeing the kitten pajama, and unsuspecting Cammy. "Just follow my instructions if you want to find Ryu and Ken!"
Glenn's eyes darted to the caller I.D and found that it was an unknown name. He looked back to the door, then to the bathroom, finding it cracked with the steam pouring out of it. He could feel Cammy listening in on the conversation, but ignored it. "Alright… What do you want?" He asked.
"The return of Sagat? What kind of fool do you take me for?" Glenn cried at the phone. Cammy peered out of the bathroom at Glenn, whom was looking at the door. She heard him sigh again and ask, "Where do you want to meet, then?" He asked. Nothing for a while, then Glenn nodded. "Fine!" He growled angrily and slam the phone into the receiver. Cammy quietly closed the door and locked it.
"What was that all about?" She asked herself. She didn't have a clue. But whatever it was, it wasn't good.
Somewhere in Asia.
"Sir!" A male Shadowlaw subordinate said as he saluted at a tall red chair. It didn't turn, but a raspy voice spoke out, and it wasn't Bison.
"Report!" He cried. The soldier fell into terror at the sound of the voice and started to tremble. He tried to stay in place, but had the shakes, really bad.
"We h-h-have conv- convinced Alpha to c-c-c-come to agree to r-r-return Sagat!" The soldier finally spat out. The chair turned and a black cloaked man sat in the chair with green long, spiky hair that came to two points in front of his face as it was hidden in the shadows of the hood.
"Good." He said as he leaned forward and stopped. He sniffed the air and looked back at the soldier. "Did you just soil yourself?" He asked sniffing the air again. The soldier blushed with embarrassment. "And to top it off, I suggest that, after you get a clean pair on…" He said as he got up and walked over to the sliding doors, "Clean your piss off of my floors… I won't want to have my employees having to clean up your mess." He said and walked out. The Soldier slowly felt the back of his pants and found an extremely large lump there.
"Aw, great!" He cried and he waddled to the dormitories.
Back in America, at the Air Force Base.
"WHAT?" Cammy and Guile cried out at the same time. Glenn shrugged and looked to the iron clad doors, leading to a prison.
"He said that there was a big misunderstanding and that they actually needed our help to… Uhhh… find something…. I guess a stone…. The Blood Ruby, I think." Glenn coughed up Guile Crossed his arms, as did Cammy.
"Your dealing with the enemy, here! You can't just suddenly trust them!" Guile said calmly, trying to suppress his anger. Cammy couldn't find any words for the actions the Glenn had proceeded in. Giving Sagat back to the enemy? That was like capturing a lion and letting him loose again, just to take a while to capture it again.
"He also said that this Blood Ruby may be the only way we could find Ryu and Ken…" Glenn said as the doors opened. He turned and quickly turned back to the others. Cammy smiled.
"Oh, Chun-Li! Great to see you!" Cammy said. The secret detective smiled back at her, dressed in her usual blue and yellow traditional attire. She waved.
"Hi, Cammy! Hi, Guile, did you need to get in touch with me?" Chun-Li. Guile glared at Glenn.
"As a matter of fact, I do… You see, Glenn here managed to capture one of the toughest Shadowlaw fighters in the world and now, he's using him as a bargaining chip!" Glenn gulped. Chun-Li looked at the new comer and shook her head.
"Well, you've got to keep your promise…" Chun-Li managed to say. For a little bit, she seemed to think as Guile and Cammy discussed the situation, but Glenn seemed to be the only person with what to do. Getting involved with the Zero Strikers was my father's legacy before he died in combat with Bison… What would he do? He thought to himself. His father, Glenn Senior, was one of the best fighters around and was even a teacher to some of the greatest fighters, like Guile himself. Glenn Jr. had trained in the arts of Bushido, just as his father had, aside from different points of view. Jr. wanted to learn the ways of martial arts in Japan, while his father wanted him to learn fist fighting, like they did in the Air Force and Army. Well. He had gotten his wish, but lost it at the same time. Glenn Jr. studied both methods of fighting and practiced them both to this very day. Chun-Li seemed to get an idea. "Why don't we get something to eat while we discuss this. Guile looked at his computer, which was blank and thought up a better task for himself.
"You three go! I and my team are gonna look up this Blood Ruby and see what we can dig up…" He looked to Glenn. "You better hope that this is worth it." He said angrily. Glenn hung his head .
"Yes sir." He said before doing so. Soon, the three were out of the door and were in town at a café. Glenn looked at it and smiled. "ALL YOU CAN EAT? ALRIGHT!" He cried as he hopped out of the car and rushed in. The girls looked at each other and started to walk over to the café.
"So… How's he like?" Chun-Li asked Cammy as they walked slow and Glenn shouting for them to move faster like a little child. Cammy shrugged, then shot her a look.
"What do you mean by that?" Cammy asked. Chun-Li smiled.
"Well, do you like him?" She asked. Cammy shook her head.
"No! Well… A little, but no!" Cammy answered annoyed. Glenn called after them again and waved his arms in the air.
"Come on. Cammy! Hurry up!" He cried. Chun-Li chuckled.
"Well, he seems a little cute, but-"
"Acts like a child? Yeah…" Cammy said gloomily. "If only he was more mature…" Chun-Li thought for a moment, then came back at her with a thought.
"But to beat Sagat with a childlike personality? I'd have to say that he must have been pretty mature to beat him like that!" Chun-Li said as she snapped her fingers. Cammy smiled.
"Yeah… He looks cute when he fights…" She said with dreamy eyes, setting up the flashback of Glenn VS Sagat.
"What was that about someone looking cute when they fought?" Came a voice that brought Cammy back to Earth. Glenn seemed to have heard her say that! Cammy blushed and turned around, punching herself two times, then counting to five, taking a deep breath. After she had calmed down, she turned back around and packed one into Glenn's face. The only thing that happened was shear pain that raced through her arm. She gritted her teeth and her eyes went wide. Keeping the pain in, she spoke.
"Don't come around me when I'm with someone else! This is business!" She said through her teeth. Glenn seemed confused.
"Uhh… Was that supposed to hurt?" He asked. Cammy's anger was rising. She thought about kicking him below the belt, but thought better of it. Who knows, he might be wearing a cup with the metal in his face! She thought sarcastically.
Glenn seemed to hear something out of nowhere. Turning he cried out. "Who said that?" The girls looked at him in confusion.
"What?" They asked. Glenn was looking more at Cammy when he answered.
"I thought I heard someone say, 'who knows, he might be wearing a cup with the metal in his face'!" Cammy developed the mega sized sweat drop in the side of her head as her eyes went small and as she started to blush. Chun-Li noticed this and opened the door. Glenn seemed to ignore the outside world as he rushed inside and sat at a table. Chun-Li looked at Cammy, whom was still small eyed and blushing.
"Well, at least he's better than Dan-" Chun-Li tried to say, but guess who?
"Well, welcome ladies!" Came an oh so familiar voice. Cammy shook her blush off and looked in front of them to find yours truly, Dan, wearing a red apron over a white shirt, black pants and black shoes and socks. "Would you… Like a seat?" He asked sadistically. The girls were about to leave, but Cammy looked over to Glenn, who had puppy dog eyes, pleading for them to stay. She sighed and put a hand on Chun-Li's shoulder.
"Let's at least let Glenn eat and then get out of here." She said. Chun-Li nodded.
"In case you're wondering, we're not here for you!" Chun-Li stated. Dan smirked.
"Of course you are! No woman can resist the Dan-miser!" He said. Cammy proceeded to take a seat beside Glenn and threw his arm around herself. Glenn gave her a look, and met with Cammy's eyes. What are you doing? She seemed to hear him say in her head…
Just play along until we get out of here! Glenn heard her say in the back of his mind. She held his hand, and he held hers as well as Dan approached. Glenn turned to Chun-Li and concentrated. Just play along. His mind said. At first Chun-Li gave him a surprised look, then nodded. Dan approached the table and suddenly made an angry face. "Hey! What are you doing with my woman!" He cried. In his most mature voice he could ever come up with, he stood up and they met eye to eye. Glenn quickly read his eyes and smirked.
"So, you're the one that Cammy's afraid of?" He asked as he turned to Cammy and gave her a wink, which made her smile. Dan seethed with anger.
"Cammy's mine, you… You… Big bad poopy head!" He cried. Glenn gave him a blank look.
This guy clearly has no clue of what he's in for, dose he? Cammy heard this in the back of her mind, but it was not her own thought! She smirked and replied in her own mind. That's Dan for ya! She thought. Glenn smiled as he turned back to the baka. "Well…" he said as he brought up a fist and let it burst into blue flaming energy, "let's take this outside!"
Outside the café, there was a loud cry over the honking of cars and motors, "BALISTIC BLASTER!" And the glass shattered, allowing Dan to fall out into the streets. Glenn turned to Cammy and nodded. "Be back in a minute, Sweet One!" He said as he jumped out of the window after him. Cammy blushed as she called out after him.
"Don't hurt him too badly, baby!" She called. Then her blush turned brighter as she came to realize that she meant it more than she was playing along. Chun-Li caught her and smiled.
"So you do like him!" She whispered loud enough for Cammy to hear her. She frowned.
"So? Shut up about it!" She growled as she put up a fist. Chun-Li put up her hands and laughed nervously.
"You'll pay for that!" Dan cried out as he put both of his hands together and reared them back. Glenn smirked and brought up both his fists.
"So, what do you want your tombstone to say?" He asked. Dan suddenly relaxed and looked into the sky.
"You know… I really don't know… Maybe rest in peace or something…" Glenn slapped his forehead and dragged it down his face. He was a total idiot! "But it sucks for you!" He cried as he returned to his foe and blue energy collected into both hands. "Haidoken!" He cried and flung his hands out in front of him, letting the battleground flash with a bright light. Glenn was temporarily blinded, but could feel that Dan was having more trouble adjusting to the bright light that seemed to linger. Glenn smiled, but felt sad… This was like fighting a newbie while he's blindfolded and spun around twenty times as if he were to strike out at a piñata with his bare hands. "Come on! Where are ya, coward!" He cried. Glenn felt that he was done here, but seemed to be blinded by the light and couldn't open his eyes. Okay…So I can't see… All I've gotta do is find Cammy's presence….. It never came though.
"Glenn's been gone for a while now…" Cammy said, looking at the broken glass and frowning. Chun-Li was in dreamland and talking away.
"Oh, I remember when Ryu asked me out on our first date…" She said. Years after High School and even the defeat of Bison, and they still went out! Now that's commitment! Forgetting Glenn for a moment, she turned to Chun-Li.
"Is Interpol looking for Ryu as well?" She asked. Chun-Li felt tears in her eyes.
"If they aren't, I'm sure as anything that I'll find him! Even if it means for me to give up the rest of my life to find him and bring him back home to me…" Chun-Li said, sounding as determined as ever. Cammy smiled and nodded as she looked out the broken window.
"I hope Glenn's okay…" Chun-Li chuckled.
"Are you worrying about Glenn against that guy?" She asked. Cammy frowned again and gave her a look.
"Hey! I can't help it! He could be like those people that can kill lions but are afraid of insects!" She cried as she got up and leapt out of the window after Glenn.
Glenn was officially POed now that he couldn't see. Dan seemed to be having better luck getting unblinded, but Glenn could still fell him moving in silence. Dan smirked and thought to himself, you're mine, now, Cammy stealer! He leapt into the air to perform a flying side kick, but Glenn felt his presence first. He ducked, feeling Dan fly over him and blindly reared back a fist as it charged with flaming blue energy. "Ballistic Blaster!" Glenn called out and punched forward, letting the blast fly from his fist and exploded on Dan's back, searing it like a roast ham. He cried a girly cry and tried to rub the burnt part of his back. To bad for him that it was the hard-to-reach place on his back. Dan turned to face his blinded opponent. Lucky shot! His brain spoke to himself as he started to run after him and throw a punch, but was interrupted by a familiar cry.
"Drill Spike!" Cammy cried and knocked Dan on him butt. She then rushed over to Glenn, whom felt her presence and fell to his knees. "Glenn, baby, are you okay?" She asked, meaning it from the bottom of her heart.
"Yeah." He said, playing along. "I'm just blinded for now, but I can still take him…" Cammy put her fingers to his lips and shushed him.
"Come on… We came here to get a bite to eat… Lets go…" She said as she helped Glenn to his feet and put an arm around his masculine waist as she put his arm around her shoulder and escorted him back to the café. Dan waved his fist at Glenn and cried out.
"I WON'T LET YOU FORGET THIS!"
A few hours later, Cammy helped Glenn into her bed and laid him down. It had dawned on her that he could read her mind… "One question… How did you do that?" Cammy asked. Glenn felt the presence of her face and looked at it blindly, which creped her out as she moved from one side to the other and his blind eyes following her. He took a deep breathe and began.
"I know I should have told you earlier, but… I know Telekinesis." He said slowly. She continued to move from one side of his face to the other, watching him follow her.
"Then tell me how you're following my every move…" She commanded. He sighed and spoke again.
" In learning Telekinesis, I've found that I have the distinct ability to sense the presence of someone or something around me. This is good for moments like now, but it only works if someone or something is present and I can "feel" them with my Telekinetic powers…" Cammy seemed confused.
"But I though that you were Christian!" She remembered. He felt the cross in his pocket and looked to the floor. Cammy shook her head and sat next to him. "Anyways, how dose it work?" She asked. Glenn' face flipped up to her and his eyebrows raised.
"Well… It's a confusing process… You see, you have to have to have energy in order for it to work, like energy that we use in our fighting." He said as he felt her head nod. He continued. "Anyways, I can only read peoples' minds for now, but that's even more confusing. You see, I can only read a mind if someone's mind is open, or Suggestive, but if their thoughts are locked away from the world, called Locked Thoughts, I can't read them unless you unlock them and allow me to." He tried, but Cammy was confused ad he could sense it. "Okay, hold still and listen." He said and looked into her eyes. Soon, she became surprised and her eyes went small with amazement.
"How did you do that?" She asked in amazement. He smiled.
"I simply used some energy to read your thoughts and tell you what they were because they were Suggestive." He explained. She thought for a moment and felt her head hurt.
"So, I have a fighting psychic living with me and he could read any thought that I'm thinking of as of right now…" She thought. Glenn put up a finger.
"But I don't make it a fun thing for me to do… Or a chapter book." He said with a smile. The night progressed and the two went to bed (or the floor, as the case was with Glenn) for a good night's rest. As they slept, there was a distinct feeling in the back of Glenn's mind that there was something watching…. Waiting for their chance to strike, then his stomach growled. He sat up and put his hand on his stomach. Or it could be the fact that I'm as hungry as anything… He thought. He looked into the night. Darkness flooded his eyes as he got up and walked to the fridge, pulling out random foods and condiments. Soon, he was gorging a sandwich down his throat and licked his fingers. Finger lickin' goodness! He thought and chuckled a little. Now, with his full stomach, he could rest in peace. As he walked to his spot to lie down, the feeling came back again. He looked out of the window and glared at it, wondering weather to wake Cammy or let her sleep on.
Soon, there was no need. The window bust into a million pieces and bullets flew through the room. Glenn grabbed Cammy where ever possible and dragged her to the floor, out of the bullets' range as the gunshots stopped. She was groggy as she looked at him and blushed when she noticed that his arms were around her. "What are you doing!" She cried out as more bullets zoomed into the room. Glenn closed his eyes and concentrated for a presence.
"I don't know, but I'm gonna find out!" He said as the bullets flew into the walls harmlessly.
OOOHHH! Another cliffy! GO ME! Uhhh… AGAIN! WOOOHOOO! Or, WOOT as some of you say! Read and Review please and be prepared for another chapter soon…
