A/N well that last one was real shocker wasn't it? Yep, good it was meant to be. BTW one of these scenes is from the twilight zone episode 'he's alive' which is my favorite episode of that show.

Jacob's point of view

I am so damn mad… I thought to myself

"Who does that little fucker think he is? Getting up in my face like that? I don't owe him a damn thing; I tried to do him right but the little fucker wont except I made a mistake… Fucking spear chucker…"

"He can cry himself to sleep over it… that's all he ever does, that's all he ever did, from the time he could walk, he'd fucking cry if he started itching" I mumbled to myself as I stomped down the street going nowhere, not even aware of the shadow that was closing in on him…

All of the sudden a orange and black figure landed in front of me…

"Well" a women's voice said.

"Well what? You think I give ¾ of a damn?" I said knowing what was coming next.

"No I don't" Tigress said looking up with her glow in the dark eyes "But you know what? I do… so I have a message for you…"

"Really, well speak up." I said crossing his arms.

"You are beginning to hurt my Niko I can't have that… He was already pretty torn up over that, but you made it worse." She said looking down at her fur, which was blood stained from where his mouth was bleeding, she had changed out of her vest but she hadn't cleaned her fur yet.

"So, you need to go, and don't come back. enough blood has been shed over you" she said looking back at me.

I looked to my right and spit a big glob of blood out, and then slowly looked back at her.

"I understand you want to have your little life of pie thing, but the rule of thumb is NEVER tell me what to do, I'll stay away if I damn well please. Don't you get it, I didn't live this long because I was someone's bitch." I said offended that she would ever tell me what to do.

Tigress was a little confused… the second person she ever met that would argue with her was an enemy of the first, and not only was he was arguing but he was challenging her authority… were all of these people this way… wow these evil bastards don't scare easy she thought to herself Niko isn't evil… is he? This was not an issue at the moment.

"You will leave you're, outnumbered, and can't win." Tigress said.

"Who said that?" I said even though I really couldn't win.

"You have the chance to get out, I suggest you do it…" She said.

Well once I had lost then what? Would they lock me up…

"Fine I'll go… just send out the others when they wake up." I said.

Though me (Jacob) and Niko were not brothers, Tigress saw one thing in common, we would do anything for our fellow soldiers…

She nodded and then left as mysteriously as she had come…

…

Meanwhile…

We see peacock getting kicked out of a bar room, and being shouted at to get out…

He goes limping off to his home all bruised up and messed up…

All of the sudden a silhouetted figure appears in front of him its night time…

"Another failed attempt, huh?" the figure asked.

"Who are you? What do you want" the Peacock asked.

"Well now you aren't giving me much of a chance, I am here to help you, Shen" the figure said.

"How do you know my name?" Shen asked.

"Because I know a lot of stuff." The figure said...

"Ok… what do you want to help me with?" Shen asked…

"Well first I want to get you home and then I want to get you into power; I want you to accomplish your life long mission."

"Why?" Shen asked.

"That's one of the two terms to my agreement, you don't know why, and you realize who's running this operation…"

"So you want me to be your puppet?" Shen asked.

"Yes, and in return you get to finish your mission." The figure said.

Shen thought on it for a moment…

"Im in" he said.

"Good" the figure said.

"Now let's get you home, you can't go to your next rally looking like that." The figure said as Shen began to get sleepy all of the sudden…

"Wait wha-" he blacked out.

…

"Cabal when will it be ready?" Kane asked.

"I am receiving data from the Tacitus now." Cabal responded.

"When will it be built?" Kane asked.

"Estimating… standby" Cabal responded.

A moment or two later he said "two weeks."

"Good" Kane said

…

Niko's Point of View

I woke up in the bed with my soldiers lying on the floor beside of the bed.

It was very awkward…

I looked down my chest and saw the paper once more I whimpered.

I needed comfort in my vulnerable state, I had been beat, shot at, screamed at, but my family was my weak point.

I got up and limped past my fellow soldiers, towards the door that lead to Tigress' room.

I slowly opened it she wasn't on her bed though instead she was standing directly on the other side of the door.

She gestured for me to come in which I did.

I carefully shut the door behind of me.

"I heard you" Tigress whispered "and I sensed you, you seem to be really messed up, you're putting off back vibes. It doesn't take a tiger to figure that out." She said.

I began to tear up again…

But the tears went away, when Tigress brought me over to her bed, and sat me down.

"I'm sorry I really should grow up like Jacob said" I said.

"Nah…" she said as she hugged me "I like you as you are, don't change, its ok to cry. It's not about growing up, it really does take a grown up to admit they are sad, it really does take a grown up to come to someone in there time of need."

As always I felt better in Tigress loving arms, just a few weeks ago none of this would never had been happening, she would still be hateful, and I would still be unaware of my mistakes. Me and Tigress changed each other for the better.

Tigress didn't know what that paper said but it must had been really bad, but she wouldn't ask.

I wasn't sad anymore but instead I was happy to be lucky enough to have her there to comfort me, and she felt she was lucky enough to have someone there who loved her back; again I fell asleep in her arms on her bed. I was on the right track…

A/N Alright then this story is soon to get interesting… until then, goodnight!
