"Orphanage?" Chance himself had grown up on the streets in a broken downtown orphanage. He thought that his partner had a different path. "Which orphanage?" He asked as he thought about all the orphanages in Megakat City. There were three; Chance had gone to the one that was broken down. It was called "Hopeful Endings Orphanage". The name was worn down so it had said "Hope_l E_s Orphanage" or "Hopeles Orphanage". Another orphanage was called "Hope Orphanage" was the nicest orphanage in town. 'Jake probably went there, since he's not a jerk.'
The final orphanage was "Agatha's Orphanage". Agatha was the old cat who ran it, she was so old that no one knew when she was born, all they knew was that she was still alive to this day. She was the terror of all orphans nightmares. To be adopted by the cruelest of parents would be a blessing compared to Agatha. Agatha would never feed any of the orphans, unless they could do something for her. If they pleased her enough, she would then find them a set of parents. Agatha's favorite weapon was the whip, though the other orphanage workers in her employment preferred shot guns. The place was a dangerous slave camp under the guise of a nice little orphanage run by a nice little old cat.
"Agatha's." Jake walked over to a chair that was there. He felt it to make sure it was there and sat down. "We weren't released until we were twenty-five, so I got most of the kittens and others down underground. Some, like me, got out early through the underground, while others were not so lucky."
"Jake!" Jake slumped down as he passed out. "Come on buddy, wake up!"
"I wouldn't do that, Chance. You might hurt him. I can set you both out in the real world. His condition might be acting up again." Silvia muttered as she raised her left paw and the two mechanics were in their garage again.
"Hey, where did she go?" Chance asked as he got up off the ground. Then he noticed his partner lying on the ground. He was running a fever. "Oh, man, hang in there, buddy. I'll figure out something." He put Jake down on his bed in his room. Jake's room was like a little library with a bed and computer in it. His bed was an old mattress that had been fixed up.
'Ding' went the door.
Chance left, reluctantly, to see who was there. "Shop's closed for the day…" he started to say, but then noticed no one was there. "Huh, must be some teen or something." Just before he closed the door, he noticed a small bag in front of the door. "Huh, what's this?" Inside was a prescription bottle of medication labeled: Razor's Edge. Chance, looked a little worried at the bottle and then brought it inside.
"What happened?" Jake asked as he was sitting up on his bed.
"You passed out for some reason, how you feeling, buddy?" Chance said as he came in.
"Stupid, I forgot to take my pills." He said as he tried to get up.
"Pills? Like these med pills someone just dropped off?" Chance handed them to Jake.
Jake looked at the bottle, and then at Chance and said, "Did you see who dropped these off?" he unscrewed the cap and inside was a bunch of multi colored pills. Jake grabbed one and squished it a bit. It was a jelly vitamin. He ate it and closed the cap.
"No, now are you going to tell me why I am just finding out about these pills instead of fifteen years ago when we were assigned each other as partners! What are those anyway, and why did the case say 'Razor's edge'? Huh?" Chance was ticked off pretty badly.
"Those pills are for Jake's overactive adrenaline rush in his blood. We discovered that unless he was kept super active, or took those pills, Jake's blood would rush so fast that it would slow his heart and it would stop for a few seconds, like a heart attack. If he had that happen too often, then he would have his brain stop as well. Thankfully, that's only been the case once. We got him fixed up just in time." Said young Silvia. She had taken form on Jake's computer.
"I suppose you sent out the old code for my meds, huh, Silv?" Jake asked, as he seemed to be getting his head back together.
"Yes."
"Jake, you okay?"
"I'll be fine, Chance, when Silvia tells me how she is alive. I saw her get shocked in an explosion twenty years ago." He was taking deep breaths.
"Think Hard Drive without the suit, but with the power." Smirked the shimmering face on the screen. She then closed her eyes and appeared as an actual cat. "I was near a computer and got sucked in; it was as simple as that." She said calmly. "I can finally come out of the screens again."
