Lies and Love

"SHIT!" Jimmy yelled, pounding the control panel.

"Damn it Jason, get me a damn comm set!" He screamed and Jason threw a headset to him.

Abandoning all regular mayday protocol, Jimmy shouted into the headset.

"Lissen up, this is Shadow Chaser to lunar base, I don't fucking care if you read me, we're on collision course with the moon! THIS IS NOT A JOKE DAMN IT! WE'RE ON COLLISION COURSE! YOU'D BETTER OR I'M LIVING THROUGH THIS JUST SO I CAN PERSONALLY SHOOT YOUR ASS OUT OF AN AIRLOCK!" Jimmy screamed, all control lost.

"THAN DO IT!" Jason was yelling into his headset at some controller on the moon.

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT REGULATIONS YOU BASTARD. JUST DO IT!" (Alright, I apologize, but there's a good deal of swearing in this chapter, I tried to make the characters reactions as realistic as possible) He screamed.

Jimmy tossed his headset aside and shouted to Jason. "DO WE HAVE TRACTOR GOOD?" Jason shot him the thumbs up and Jimmy braced himself, he was about to try one helluva maneuver.

Only one set of controls still worked, the emergency weapons, which consisted of two high powered missiles.

Jimmy armed both of them and set them to down direct blast, which would maneuver the warhead to aim most of the force of the blow downwards.

Jimmy bared his teeth in a defiant snarl and slammed his palm down on the activate button, without hitting the launch control, he jammed the override button for normal attack protocols and braced himself as all of a sudden, the ship was tossed about like an empty tin can in the ocean, shaking from a mammoth blast near the back. They were level, but in no condition to land.

Jason, his the on button on his headset and said "Now." As loud as he could with g-forces rippling his cheeks and pressing him flat against his acceleration chair, apparently the console that monitored the anti-gravity and pressure regulators had also locked up.

"Affirmative." Came the voice from Lunar Mission Control, tinny because of the ship's receptors, which, due to the blast were in horrible disrepair.

All of a sudden, they felt the ship slow down and be guided slowly towards the rocky lunar surface. The base had got them in their tractor beam, the downside to the device was they had to be level or else it wouldn't be able to get a strong enough hold.

"Hey." Jimmy said, it was later that day, night really, but lunar days were different so it was approximately seven lunar time when it was eleven standard time (Back at main base on Earth).

At the sound of his voice, Cindy and Jason, who had been conversing softly, turned.

"Hey man." Jason said. "One helluva landing there eh?"

"Yeah I know, I'm checking all systems before they are fixed and I think I found the virus that also caused the first autopilot shutdown, it must've been beamed here, in an oncoming transmission, but who…" Jimmy said, both men were trying to keep their voices steady as both were still furious about their fight earlier that mission.

"I'll help in a minute." Cindy offered.

"Thanks." Jimmy said, shooting her a grin that was not returned.

"So what was it you interrupted for?" Jason asked.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to Cindy, alone." Jimmy said, putting emphasis on the last word, he was clad in the blue and silver jumpsuit that was the usual uniform at lunar base and Cindy and Jason were clad similarly.

"Um, sure." Cindy said and Jason shot him a suspicious look that Jimmy met with a challenging glare.

"What do you want Neutron?" Cindy asked impatiently as he led her into a conference room.

"It's just that this, this mission…it isn't what you think." He confessed.

"I thought so, so what the hell is this damn thing really all about?"

"Wait!" He said urgently, closing and locking the door to the base's lounge.

"Okay, you were told this mission was to one of Jupiter's moons, Europa, but it's actually to Proxima Centauri, the closest star to Earth. This is huge, and it's also top-secret, completely classified. You can't tell anyone, this will be the farthest anyone has ever traveled, this is the maiden voyage of my wormhole drive, and that's why the government is paying me three quarters of a billion to take you along." He said in a rush, as if it would help for her to hear all of this quickly.

"Oh don't worry, I won't spill you precious secret. You still haven't changed Neutron, you're still a lying bastard, and you always will be."

"It's not my fault, you go yell at the president, he's the one who…come back! I-I'm sorry!" He yelled, but it was too late, she was gone.

Jimmy groaned and ran after her.

Jason was standing in the hallway, fuming. He knew about his employer's feelings for Cindy, but he wasn't about to let that interfere with his chances. He turned to find Jimmy.

"Hey Jason." Sheen said evenly, blocking his way.

"What is it Sheen?"

"Leave Cindy alone." Sheen said forcefully.

"Or what?"

Sheen didn't answer, he just shot him a lopsided grin. "Find out." He challenged. Jason glared and spun on his heel, stalking off in the other direction…
