This is when things really start to kick off. Enjoy.
Chapter 4: The One with the Mission
"Pheebs" Joey yelled through the apartment
Joey had been waiting for what felt like hours for Phoebe to get ready, it had been two months since Chandler had reappeared, he was still in a coma in the hospital. Phoebe, Rachel and Ross had taken a year off from their work so they could concentrate on finding Monica. Joey was a director of a new movie and had just finished the scenes, it had taken a very hectic fast two months to get it done, but it worked.
"Hold on" Phoebe yelled back "Im coming"
"Take your time, we have an appointment at 9, that gives us five minutes, and their office is five blocks away"
"Block a minute, Run" Phoebe said as she came running out of the bedroom and straight out the front door, Joey followed soon behind, with Rachel and Ross rushing after them.
"Can…I…just…say…you…look…lovely" Joey said to Phoebe as they panted along the road
"Thank…You…Joey" Phoebe said
"Not…the…time" Ross yelled far behind
"There's it is" Joey said pointing to a run down building just in front of them
"Er…Joey that's the burger place" Ross said catching up to Joey who had stopped
"Yer I know, but that's where I can get food, I haven't had any breakfast, and I just ran like 10 miles"
"Well, hurry up, the office is just over the road, catch us up Joey" Rachel said
"Don't get sauce on your suit" Phoebe yelled
"Ok" Joey replied as he headed into the Burger place
Rachel, Ross and Phoebe headed over to a large building
"So, Phoebe, You and Joey, you've been getting close over the last few months" Rachel said
"Yer, I know" Phoebe replied with a girlish giggle "He's been really sweet, and he's shown he's grown up"
"You kissed didn't you" Ross said
"Maaaybe" Phoebe said with another girlish giggle
"ooo" Ross said
They entered the front of the building and took a look around, there was a large open space covered in white tile with small chairs on either side of the large entrance hall. There was a receptionist desk ahead of them.
"Ill go ask them where to go" Ross said motioning towards the desk which had two people sitting at it
"Ok" Rachel said as she and Phoebe looked at some of the magazines on the tables
"Hello, Im Ross Geller, we're here to see Mr Leonard" he said to the receptionist
"Hello Ross" the other receptionist looked up
"Oh, Emily, I didn't know you were back in America" Ross said shocked to see his ex-wife
"Hey Ross" Rachel said as she raced over and leant on his shoulder "Do you think-- Oh my God, Emily"
"Hello Rachel" Emily replied "I see you got what you wanted"
"Look, its in the past Emily, You can't act this way, you chose to end our marriage, and to be honest, im glad" Ross said "Im not going to deal with anymore of your snobbish attitude"
"Good for you" Rachel said patting Ross on the back
"Fine" Emily said returning to her typing
The other receptionist sensing the silence turned around again
"Mr Leonard will see you in five minutes, he's running slightly behind, if you would like to wait over on the side, you will be called" She said
"Thank you" Rachel said
Rachel, Phoebe and Ross headed over to the sofa and sat down.
"Holy crap what are these sofas, its swallowing me" Phoebe said
Joey finally came through the door, looking chuffed with himself
"Guess what" Joey said
"What" Rachel said
"I got two burgers for the price of one" Joey said with a big grin
"Wow Joe, how'd ya go it" Ross said sarcastically
"I was heading away from the counter with my one burger, and some women dropped her burger on the floor, and left it there!" Joey said
"astonishing" Rachel said
"So, how long we gotta wait" Joey asked as he sat on the arm of the sofa
"Mr Leonard will see you now" the receptionist yelled over
"That should answer your question Joey" Ross said
"So, we ready for this?" Rachel said brushing her dress down
"Ready as ever" Joey said
Ross led the way past the receptionist desk and straight through a large door, they ended up in a huge office, it looked like a classic library but with a desk and heap of papers in the middle
"Ahh, you must be Mr, Mrs Geller, Miss Buffay, and Mr Tribbiani" a man said, he was short, but fat and had the look of a bald egg. "My wife used to deal with a Tribbiani, shes been dead for ten years now though, my darling Estelle"
Phoebe, Rachel and Ross all looked over at Joey but he was sitting like nothing had happened.
"Ohh" Joey said a few seconds later "Yer, I was Estelle's client, she found me work"
"Ahh, so your the famous "Italian guy" she always used to talk about
"Yer" Joey replied
"Well, nice to meet you all" the little man said as he bobbed back behind his desk "Please have a seat"
"Thanks for seeing us" Rachel said
"No problem, now, I see that the person your looking for has been missing for roughly 3 years?" Mr Leonard
"Yes, one of the people turned up about two months ago, but they have gone into a coma, and we can't ask them anything at the moment" Ross said
"Right, so this is almost certainly a kidnapping"
"Yes, it looks that way" Ross said with a nod
"Ok, well, im pleased to say you have received the grant."
"Oh good" Phoebe said
"That means my people should be able to get to work within the next few hours, I have agents positioned throughout America, and through Europe ready to begin searching. This is the best private detective company in the entire world, so we should find Mrs Bing within no time"
"Thank you so much" Ross said
"Well, there isn't much more you can do, do you have a private office type place?" Mr Leonard asked
"My apartment can be the base of operations, heres the number" Joey said writing on a small piece of paper
"Ok, well ill put this number as the contact detail, there has to be someone in the vicinity of the phone all day every day, otherwise if something is found you won't find out" Mr Leonard said "Now if you'll excuse me for a second"
Mr Leonard bobbed up to the wall directly behind, he pulled a book and a large computer came out of the wall. He pressed a few buttons, as he did, a map of the world popped up on the screen and different red dots lighted up on each country on the map.
"Right, this is how I keep an eye on things" Mr Leonard said "Now, the signal has been put out, the search has begun, Thank you for your business, I hope you find Mrs Bing soon"
"thank you" Ross said as everyone got up and left through the door.
"Losers" the man said as the door closed behind them "Activate signals"
"Was it them?" a silhouette said on the screen
"Yes, they have begun to search, don't worry, they don't know a thing" he said to the screen
"Good, and make sure it stays that way" the voice said "That group has enemies, and I have brought them all together to make sure that group suffers, as I suffered."
"I have done my bit, I don't want anymore to do with this" Mr Leonard said
"Very well" The man said "Goodbye"
"Goodbye" Mr Leonard said as he relaxed in his chair, the communication broke off
"Emily" he said into a small comms device "Whens my next appointment"
"Never" she said back
"What do you mean?" he said as his door banged open and Emily barged in
"That group has enemies, and we will make them suffer, as we suffered" she said holding up a gun
"Emily, No" he stuttered
"You could have helped us, but no, you decide to leave, but my boss can't risk having you alive" she said as she pulled the trigger, a loud crack echoed around the room and Mr Leonard fell dead.
