Chasing the Perfect Storm F6 Aftermath

Summary: So, what happens after the final flash? After when it seemed to be all said and done, what turns out when an unexpected group of people shows up after the excitement? Takari (alt ending 2 continued to clarify alt end 1 a little.)

"Kari, pick up the phone now!" Tai hollered out of the small speaker of Kari's cell phone.

"Should we pick it up… or just leave Tai hanging." TK whispered to Kari as they walked back over to the camera on the truck.

"He'll find us sooner or later, but… let's hope it's later." Kari replied as picked up the cell phone with Tai still yelling and ending the call she put it back into her pocket. As TK set the Digimon in the inside of the truck, he pulled out his laptop, which was blinking low battery across the dimmed LCD screen.

"Good call… You know what…" TK said leaning on the cab of the truck with the laptop in his hands. "I really don't want to know what Tai thinks of us together let along my brother." Touching the touchpad on the laptop, he began moving the curser across the screen, "I still can't believe that this thing still works after its ride."

"I know, considering that the truck went up in the F5 twice at least." Kari replied as she walked over to TK with her camera. "Well should we get going?"

"Going… where?" TK asked with confusion in his voice, while he set the Laptop onto the hood of the truck and let it shutdown.

"Back to the apartment, where else?" Kari said as she wrapped her arms around TK.

"Well uh… we could see how the videos turned out." Said as he turned around and wrapped his arms around her.

"What do you…? Oh you mean go to a TV station, right?"

"Well something like that… I don't know where to take it though. Considering channel six doesn't want to see me and probably the rest of the stations don't want to see another reporter from another station show up at theirs." TK said as he looked off into the distance of the wasteland of what use to be the Twin Cities.

"Non-sense, TK, they would probably be ecstatic to see footage of what we shot. Hey, it would be an exclusive to get theses videos." Kari replied as she looked off to where TK was looking.

"Exclusive…?" Patamon said as he slowly woke up form his nap.

As Patamon slowly staggered to his feet, TK said, "O, hey buddy. How are you doing?"

Suddenly in the distance a white van with the number 11 in red and blue, came driving up to them. Clucking over the large concrete curb, it slammed on the breaks then, finally came to a stop a few feet away, after sliding on piles of debris. The window quickly rolled down, and some one shouted, "Are you guys alright!" Before TK or Kari say anything five people piled out of the white van and started running in their direction. Standing partially dumbfounded TK quickly turned around and picked up Patamon while Kari did the same for the slowly waking Gatomon.

As TK faced the crew from the van one of them shouted, "Hey aren't you the meteorologist from channel six…, TK right? What… what are you doing out here?"

Placing his free hand behind his head TK replied, "Well… that's a long story…"

"What do you mean?" The person asked as they helped TK and Kari over to the van after TK picked up his laptop.

"Do you know who the CEO of Channel six is?" TK asked the person as the person climbed into the van.

"Yea I know him, I use to work there two years ago in the sports department as a sub reported for Davis. I don't know how any one lasted there for more than three years with that ass. So what happened?" He said as the person pulled out a mini recorder and notepad while he sat on the bumper.

"You're writing this down?" TK asked as he glanced down at the small notepad.

"No, no I was just getting some other notes from other people we interviewed earlier jotted down."

"Well I had it with Ron, after he went after me and my friend with the cops, I quit." TK replied while checking some of the person's notes. "So you use to work with Channel six for a few years, I'm sorry I'm terrible with name."

"Don't worry I have the same problem most times, name's Darren." He said as he finished up on his notes.

"Question, did channel 11 get any video of the storm." TK asked as he took the camcorder off from around his neck.

"We got some cheap quality pictures that were sent in during the storm but video wise nothing that I've heard of."

Turning to Kari she nodded head agreeing to what TK was thinking. "We have some high quality video and 8-megapixel pictures." TK replied as he handed the camcorder to Darren.

"OK, why don't all of you come in for a while?" Darren said as he opened the back doors of the van. As all of them climbed in, Darren pulled the mini tape from the camcorder. Inside one complete wall was covered with monitors and players of different types, on the other was covered with all different types of camera equipment. Sitting down in front of one of the monitors, he popped the in tape into a tape player. After rewinding it for a few moments, some pictures started to popup on the screen. Stopping on some frames prior to when the cyclones began to merge Darren started to play the video.

As soon as the video quit playing, he shouted out of the van to the rest of the crew that was still outside. "Hey Jan, Kyle, Bill, and Tyler, you have to come and see this." Then turning to TK and Kari he said, "I think you guys are going top the news cast at five with this."

As the rest of the crew ran into the van what little space there was, was now nonexistent. Then as Darren began to replay the tape, the remaining people were in shock by the clarity of the video. "You know what… this video is amazing. I can't believe that you two got these shots." Kyle said he tired to sneak back out to see if any one else was around.

"Don't mind him, he rather try to find the perfect storm survival story than see some incredible video." Darren said as he popped the tape out of the player. "Can I see those pictures?"

"Sure." Kari replied as she pulled out the memory card from the camera. Then handing it to Darren, he plugged it into a laptop on a small table that pulled out.

"Thanks…"

"My name's Kari." Kari replied shaking Darren's hand.

"Thanks Kari." Darren said as the pictures finished loading. Then turning to the laptop he set them up with a small slide show. Flipping through the pictures, he turned back to TK and Kari with a smile on his face. "Hey do you want to…" Suddenly Darren's phone started ringing, "One sec... Hello Darren speaking." He said into his phone. "OK…? Yea… Sure… He did when…? During the storm…? Ah… I… I think I have someone that could take over for a while do you want to talk to him… OK one second…" Then taking the phone from his ear he hand it over to TK. "Its Jason our CEO, we just lost our meteorologist during the storm. I guess he couldn't handle all the stress with every model coming up wrong. It sorta sounds like a job offer." Darren said as he turned back to the laptop.

"Hello." TK said into the phone with a slight hesitation.

"May I ask whom I'm speaking with?" Jason said in a semi formal voice.

"TK Takaishi."

"O, hello Mr. Takaishi, my name is Jason Greenfield CEO of Channel 11. I'm wondering if you could come in for a while and well… cover the weather for us. We just lost our entire team meteorologists during the storm because they couldn't handle the stress, I guess." Jason replied slightly disgusted with his former team of meteorologists

"Sure, I have my degree and certified by AMS along with experience."

"Great, if it's possible to get in here ASAP we need you on the five O' clock broadcast."

"I'll see what I can do." TK said as he handed the phone back over to Darren.

Taking the phone Darren began talking to Jason again. "OK… Well get him to the station ASAP sir… bye to you too." Then hanging up the phone he slipped it back into his pocket. "That's one of the most informal interviews Jason's ever done. I guess the four of you are coming with us." Then climbing into the driver seat of the van Darren shouted something out the window. Suddenly Kyle came barging through the passenger side door. "Hang on it's going to a wild ride for more than a few of us." Darren said as he started the van and took off back towards the station.
