Chapter 8

Mission Report

"And that's my report," finishes Tech Girl.

"I see. This is most troubling news. First Jeremiah suddenly reappears before falling unconscious with some new girl, then Tech Boy is severely injured, Nic has been corrupted by Darkness, and we got nothing on him."

"Jeremiah reappeared?" asks an astonished Tech Girl.

"I was hoping you three had a hand in it but it appears not. Once the girl awakes, she will be detained and taken into questioning. Curiously enough, all hospital staff are putting the tightest security on her record so something is off about her. There is a difference between patient confidentially and this. Circumstances aside, despite your failure you performed well in a no-win scenario and I am impressed by your decision-making skills and actions during the course of this mission. If you ever want to become a fully-fledged field agent I would be happy to reassign you. You would be first-class guaranteed."

Tech Girl replies, "No thanks. I prefer working in the Research Lab."

Head Spikey replies, "Very well, but do consider it. You are dismissed but please go over to the Medical Dept. and get yourself checked out. We just want to make sure there are no other injuries."

Tech Girl salutes and replies, "Roger, and…thanks." She leaves the office and heads towards the Medical Dept. When she gets there she sees Tech Boy hooked up to a scanner scanning his entire burned body, Jeremiah currently asleep on a bed, and Linda also asleep on another bed but being guarded by a Superhero.
