My apologies for the late update. Thing is I've got a lot of stories on the go right now and I'm a pretty disorganised person. So, anyway, here's a new chapter for you.

And about my little challenge: Congratulations to teensamurai102, ultimatemukata, and The Ultimate Hunter for getting both answers. Psychoman222 got the first part of it (Borgia) and Raptor-Chick succeeded in guessing the second (Keyes). Did I miss anyone there? Because I wrote this at about 9:45 PM before going out for a meal. I'm exhausted, but I've been writing all day and I'm not making my readers make any longer. Man, sometimes I hate having such a great audience…

And I know the chapters have gotten a little short. I will rectify that soon.

Me no own Predator. 20th Century Fox own Predator. Me sad now.

BURGLARY

"No."

"…What?"

"No she cannot see the inside of the ship! Don't be stupid!"

"Oh, come on, what's the worst that can happen?"

"Elders? Arbitrators? Council of Ancients? She's not coming inside the ship, Drake. And that's final."

"But…"

"No buts! Now get to School."

"What about…"

"Just go!"

Drake shrugged and left the ship, leaving the sewers and starting on his way to School. He didn't really expect that he'd be allowed to bring Rebecca to the ship, but he figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

He continued to walk on, before turning a corner to meet up with Rachel.

"Hey," She greeted him with a smile and a kiss. "Did you ask him?"

"Yep."

"And what did he say?"

"No."

"No?"

"No."

Rebecca made a cute pouting face as they walked together.

"Any reason why? Or is it some alien-hunter reason that I wouldn't understand?" She smiled.

"Well," Drake explained, "The Elders…"

"Who?"

"Clan leaders. They weren't happy just when you found out who I was. Imagine their reaction if I took you into the middle of a spaceship."

"Oh," Rebecca realised. "So, how much longer until you can go back out?"

"Another four days," Drake answered. "Look, how come it doesn't… I don't know… unnerve you when you ask me about… well… the things I do?"

Rebecca shrugged. "Like you said, you just hunt the ones who deserve it."

"Most humans probably wouldn't see it like that."

"Well… I know people like that deserve it."

"Why's that?"

Rebecca sighed, suddenly taking a more serious tone.

"Drake…" She sighed, "I've never told anyone this… but… well…" She breathed inward hesitantly. "…I'm the reason my parents fight all the time."

"What?"

"See… my Dad… he isn't my biological father."

"Hmm?"

"My Mother… she was…" a tear suddenly slipped down Rebecca's face, and Drake realised he'd never actually seen her cry before. "Well… she was raped."

"What?"

Rebecca nodded. "That was how I was born… of course, 'Dad' wanted her to get an abortion but… he didn't. Now, whenever I mess up, he blames my Mother, or whenever anything happens, and they just always fight…"

Drake put a comforting arm around her as they walked.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After School, Drake and Rebecca were walking together again, toward Rebecca's home, just talking, when they turned the corner toward Rebecca's house.

"You want to start that assignment?" Rebecca shrugged, "My parents are out and… What the…" Rebecca gasped, seeing three men suddenly slip out of the house, carrying several bags laden with goods.

"Hey!" She shouted as they both broke into a run, toward the thieves. "Get the hell out of my house!"

"Oh, well go," One of the thugs laughed, "And we'll take a little spending money with us!" He looked down to see the anger in Rebecca's face. "What… you going to stop us? Or your boyfriend?"

He stepped toward Drake, shoving Rebecca to the side as another grabbed her, causing her to scream as he pulled her hair.

Big mistake.

As the thug went to shove him, Drake grabbed his wrist and elbowed him in the face, kicked him, flipped over and struck the other two in the sides, kicking them off Rebecca as he landed gracefully on his feet and kicked the first one down for the count. Finally, he struck both of the other two in the face. All three dropped the stolen goods and staggered back.

"Jesus… kill the bastard!"

One of them whipped out a knife, but Drake effortlessly kicked him in the wrist and punched him in the gut.

"Run for it!"

All three of them turned and fled into an alley, as Drake helped Rebecca up.

"Thanks," She breathed. "Don't think I'll ever get used to seeing that."

"No problem," Drake smiled. "But I don't think that did me any good." He winced as he flexed his shoulder. "Come on, let's get this stuff back inside."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yutani watched the recording intensely, as Drake neutralised all three of the thieves with virtually no effort at all.

"Amazing…" He grinned to himself before turning round, as Keyes entered the room.

"Sir," he reported, "Conversion is complete."

"Excellent. Soon, we can make our move…"

"If I may, sir… what significance will the girl prove?"

"Oh, you'll see, Keyes. You'll see…"

I know that was also kind of a short chapter. This one is basically to develop Rebecca's character a little more, so I hope you liked it.

Lastamly: That Crisis that I said was going to face Drake? The worst one yet? Well, it's coming. Soon. And, I want to make it clear: It is NOT a kidnapping plot. Believe me, you won't want to miss it.
