"This is the Petting Zoo," said Rex, looking over the railing at the massive Evo zoo behind the glass.

Circe walked up beside him in time to see an Evo bird fly by, about a foot away from them. It was bigger than an elephant.

Slowly, she turned to him, pale white and eyes wide. "Petting Zoo?," she asked.

He was still looking over the rail and hadn't noticed her reaction. "Yeah," he casually said, "it's where we keep Evos that can't be cured, for one reason or another. They're mostly used for testing or exercise."

"Exercise?"

"Hey," he said, suddenly getting an idea, "you wanna go down there?"

"No!"

"You sure?," he asked, finally turning to her, "It's a lot of fun."

"No, Rex," she said again, "I'm good."

"Alright then," he said, "We'll go later." Then, walking off.

She ran to catch up with him. "I meant never, Rex."

He ignored her, planning to drag her to the Petting Zoo later that day. Instead, he said, "Where haven't we gone, yet?"

Currently, he was giving her a 'grand tour' of Providence base. After Six's explanation of what happened to Holiday, they had avoided anything involving White Knight or most of Providence employees.

"There you are!," a voice said above them.

Bobo jumped down from the ledge he sat on. "Where'd you go, kid?," the monkey asked, "One second, you escaped. The next, Six is gone, too, and- Who's that?"

Rex looked over to the girl behind him. "Bobo, this is-"

"Circe," the monkey said, already in front of her, shaking her hand, "Nice to meet you, formally. Decided to join us?"

"Yeah, I guess so," she replied, with a smile.

"So," the monkey said, turning back to the boy, "Where'd you go?"

"Uhh," Rex quickly changed the subject, "Where were you? We've been back for a few days, now."

"On a mission," Bobo replied, "Now where were you?"

He looked down at the chimp and gave up. "It's a long story," he said, "I'll have to tell you later."

The monkey looked around Rex, "What about you, green bean?"

Rex turned to see Six. Jacket, tie, clean, cut, shaven, and everything.

Wow, Holiday did wonders. I wonder if he'll get another bike...

Before he could ask what was on his mind, Six interrupted, "I'm not saying anything, monkey." Then, started to walk passed the group.

Rex turned, "Where you going?"

"Audience with White Knight."

There was a long silence behind him, which got him curious. Six turned to see the teens starring at him with huge eyes.

Bobo looked between the two, "What? Am I outta the loop, or something?"

The agent let out a sigh, "I'll be back soon. Nothing will happen." He promptly kept walking without looking back.

"What's-," Bobo was cut-off by Rex's hand suddenly clamping over his mouth.

Circe tip-toed after the agent, followed by the boy.

The monkey watched them leave like they were all morons. Somewhere, there was a cold pizza calling his name. He figured Rex would fill him in later, and went in search of said pizza.

o0o

"You wanted to see me?," Six asked, with a bit more hatred in his voice than usual.

"We know, Six," White said, through the com-link.

"Know?"

"Don't play dumb. We know she's alive."

"Oh," he replied, "You know that you failed to kill her?"

"There was no choice, Six," he explained, "We knew something like this would happen. The fact that she's still alive is... shocking."

"I'll bet," he retorted.

"Either way," White continued, "You have a new assignment."

Six felt his shoulders slump, expecting the 'assassination' of the telepath he had fallen in love with.

Yeah. Like I could kill her if I tried, anyway. She could rip someone's arm off, if she shook their hand too hard.

He was about to say just that, but White continued, "We want her back."

Wait. What?

"We didn't expect her to have such control over her power," Knight explained, "Your mission is to find her and... ask her... to rejoin."

Six stayed quiet for a second. "Seriously?"

He continued, "If she accepts, bring her back. If she refuses, then just leave. There's no need to do anything harsh, unless there's an incident."

The agent was quiet, again. "Seriously?"

"That's all, Six," White said, "Leave as soon as possible and do not make an incident out of this." The line promptly cut out.

He's actually serious. He's scared of her. They're scared of Holiday.

o0o

Circe and Rex had their ears pressed against the door.

"Can you hear anything," she asked, having no luck herself.

"You know," he answered, about an inch away from her, "This would be a lot easier, if this door wasn't soundproof..."

She glared at him and backed away from the door.

"Oh, come one," he said, "We were having so much f-" The door opened and Rex fell through, landing against Six's chest.

Too scared to move, he just started talking, "Hey, Six. So..., how'd it go?"

"Get off of me."

"Ok," he replied, and quickly shuffled back into the hall, letting the agent through.

Six just continued walking, with Rex and Circe right behind him.

"Well!," the boy asked, "What did he say?"

"I got a new assignment."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"Then," he continued, not letting it go, "What's the assignment?"

That was a good question. Not the assignment part, but what to tell Rex.

No, I don't want him to beg her to come back. Plus, he'll be disappointed if she refuses.

"Nothing for you to worry about," he replied.

"Come on!," the boy said, stopping in the hall, "Seriously?"

"Seriously," Six responded, and kept walking.

Rex groaned and Circe stopped beside him.

"Should we follow him?," she asked.

"Nah," he said, straightening up, "Six'll tell me when he gets back. He always does."

"But why not tell you what's going on now?"

"I don't know," he replied, "It's Six. He does that. I'm just glad he's back to normal. All this probably has something to do with Holiday."

"Em? You think so."

He shrugged, "Not sure, but if that's the case, Six is the right guy for the job." Rex turned and started walking the other way.

She followed. "What do you mean by 'back to normal'?"

o0o

It hadn't taken long to find out where she was hiding out. For someone that knew Holiday as well as Six did, it hadn't taken long at all.

Somewhere in a town that no one has ever heard of, in the middle of Wisconsin. It even sounded like somewhere she would be.

He quickly switched gears on the clutch. His first order of business, upon leaving Providence, was to get a new bike. Since he liked the old one so much, he got the same model and everything. Most importantly, he got it just to see what Holiday would say.

Six smiled through his newly purchased helmet and sped up.

Currently, there were two sides fighting in his head.

One was the voice of reason. It said 'go home' over and over again. He knew without a doubt that Holiday could now handle... well, just about anything. Except, the possibility of her being in harm's way, didn't exactly settle well with him. After all, he was the one that told her to leave. Providence didn't own him, no matter how much it seemed like sometimes. So, why was he doing this?

That's when that other voice came in. Six wanted to see her. Of course, he could just drop by and not even mention it, but that would be like torture. Just knowing that would be the last time he would ever see her. So, he knew if he seen her, he'd ask her. Just to have the chance that she may come back with him.

He wanted her to say no, so that she would stay out of harm's way and have a normal, decent life.

He wanted her to say yes, so that... she would stay with him. Suddenly, he felt extremely selfish, but he couldn't help it.

I should just go home. Then again, I just bought another Ninja. The second one. Ten thousand dollars of wasted money, because it's not like she's going to approve. What am I doing?

He just sighed and kept going.

o0o

Yesh, yesh. It's not over, yet.

I know it's pretty short, but I thought these scenes would be much shorter &, therefore, have room to include more stuff, but apparently not. I fail.

Six got another motorcycle! Yay! Same as last time, White Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2009 model. Yum. And, yes, I looked up the price. That particular model starts off at $9,799 (course, knowing me, I'd be tacking all kinds of contraptions on to it, making it about $5,000 more, but whatever). I was actually expecting it to be higher than that, but nope. The highest is the ZX-14 Monster... which looks SO AWESOME. But, Six likes the other one, so whatever.

Oh & uhh, I'm not from Wisconsin (I'm from Louisiana) therefore, I know NO PLACE in Wisconsin. If anyone happens to know of a small rural area (must be rural) I'd be happy to tack the name of the place in there. It beats spinning a globe, closing my eyes, and landing my finger somewhere.
