I had this chapter done before I uploaded the story! XD!

Grey Spots

"So, tell me again why they didn't send an EVO alarm to us as soon as it started happening." Rex said, sitting in the back of the jump jet. He had been roused up early to go all the way to Argentina for an EVO alert that had happened at midnight. Dr. Holiday sighed. Rex wasn't a morning person, like most teenagers.

"Something happened, Rex, a very…dangerous EVO escaped their lab and they spent the rest of the night trying to find it. I don't know much about it, but most of them say the EVO is unstable, though the results their doctor sent me shows that the EVO's brainwaves are exceptional." Agent Six said in an emotionless tone.

"Huh?"

"The EVO is as smart and knows what it's doing. They had to search for it, but it seems the EVO disappear straight away…if Van Kleiss gets a hold of this EVO, we don't know what will happen." Dr. Holiday explained. "That's why they want us to find it, so that they can regain control." The thought of someone controlling an EVO made Rex a bit irritated, but it quickly subsided when Dr. Holiday put her hand on his. "They don't want to make it a tool…they just want to…try and keep it under control so it can't hurt anyone. From what I heard, this EVO attacked a lot of people out of fury."

"…Alright…" He muttered, sitting back in his chair. Bobo was sleep the whole time they were talking…he had played poker most of the night. "So, what can this EVO do?"

"We don't know yet, Rex. That's what they are going to tell us when we get there." Six said matter-of-factly. About nine hours later, it was high noon and they landed in Rio Branco, Brazil. They were greeted by a helicopter with a couple of Providence Agents in it. They explained that due to circumstances of the highest quality, they had to move the South American Base, 'The Angel's Cradle', to the outskirts of Porto Vehlo. They landed in a helicopter pad with Dr. Roscoe and Agent Fifteen (Joseph). Dr. Roscoe went to Dr. Holiday and shook her hand, smiling.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Roscoe, it's a great relief that you got here so quickly."

"Hello, Dr. Roscoe, I'm Dr. Holiday. I hope no one got hurt."

"Just mild injuries, I assure you. It's nowhere near what White Knight will do when he finds out that she escaped."

"She?" Bobo repeated. He had expected some ugly monster that came from a plant or something. Dr. Roscoe nodded.

"Come along, we'll explain back at The Angel's Cradle."

In a dark room, Dr. Roscoe had a screen set up with a slide show of Cho. She clicked a button and there a picture of Cho (age nine) showed up. "This is Cho; we don't know her last name or her family connections…"

"Amnesia?"

"Not exactly, Rex. As you can see in this picture…" Rex looked at the picture even though it made him kind of sick to see such a young girl being pinned down to a metal table. "We got a call from the Japanese Police Embassy about an EVO that was locally known as Ookami Joou…"

"In English?"

"Wolf Queen…a girl the age of nine had turned EVO and escaped to the forest, making it her 'kingdom', if you will. She attacked anyone who she deemed a threat to her home and they wanted her to be put away so that she couldn't do any more harm."

"But she was defending her home!"

"Yes, but she attacked at the slightest offense." Agent Fifteen said. "I've said multiple times that she must be unstable, that somehow we had to keep her down so that she couldn't harm anyone-"

"And I have said that Cho is a child, not a monster." Dr. Roscoe snapped at him. "Anyway, Cho has been here like this for seven years straight, though I have tried to get my superiors to allow her leave like they did you, Rex." She explained. "They flat out denied, saying that she was too dangerous and unpredictable to be let outside…they kept her trapped here like an animal…it was no surprise that Cho went out as soon she got the chance."

"I don't think I want to help!" Rex stormed out in a fury. Those pictures of Cho being hand fed and chained made him sick. How could someone be as dangerous as to be treated like that? All she wanted was to be free and happy, it was understandable. Dr. Holiday went after him after explaining that Rex was a little uneasy about this place.

"Rex! Rex, wait a minute!"

Cho sat on the soaked boulder as she let the little droplets of water run down her, soaking her cool to the bone. It had been bliss to be free, to be able to run around, and finally speak. Cho crawled through a hole in the rocks, the exact size of her, making it easy to hide and escape. While a water fall ran down these boulders like a raging monster, the cave she found was warm due to the small fire she had made. The bird she had caught was roasting quite nicely over it and on the other side of the cave lay three wolves, her pets. One was a smooth, alabaster white with crystal blue eyes and a soft pink nose. She was female and Cho had named her Aimi. Next to her was a wolf the color of a storm cloud. He had bright yellow eyes and would jump at any order Cho gave him, she named him Daiki. The last was furthest from the group and blended into the darkness quite well. Cho named him Himitsu for he was a fierce loner who was extremely strong. As soon as Cho pulled the cooked bird out, she felt her mouth water. She hadn't tasted meat in so long; it felt nice to taste the natural saltiness of it again. The herbs she collected in the forest added to the taste and she ripped off pieces big enough for her beloved wolf EVOs.

"Daiki, Himitsu, Aimi…dinner." She said quietly, feeding each one of them. They licked their paws after it; the meat their mistress cooked was delicious. Cho thought very much about how she was going to escape the hounds of Providence once and for all and get back home. She didn't want to be put back in her cage, to have a gasp of fresh air and then trade it for ventilated. She liked being free… Aimi finally stopped licking her paws and made a sound like a soft, fantasy like moan. The other two EVO wolves followed in suit. "I know that those Providence rats will come after me…I'm trying to think…I may need to change my appearance a bit." Cho looked out the hole to the rushing water, making it slow down a bit. Her hair was stuck with bits and pieces of twigs and leaves; she didn't like the feel of them in her hair. She pulled them out furiously. "But how? How to change without having to cut my hair?" Her hair was Cho's most prized possession; she took such great care of it. When Providence tried to have it cut, she threatened to attack and annihilate all the employees before going after White Knight himself.

No one touched her hair after that.

Suddenly, Daiki moaned in his own way, it was slow and sharp. She looked at him. "Travel to North America? Now why would I want to do that?" He answered her question. "Hmmm…easy to hide…is it easy for wolves to hide?" Daiki made another answer for her. "Big dogs…hmmmm…alright, then…let's get started…" They crawled out of the hole onto the cool stones and she laughed as water splashed. She climbed onto Himitsu's back and he jumped down from stone to stone and through the water fall. Cho leaned back and let out a howl. It echoed through the woods and made all the birds flutter to the sky.

Back at The Angel's Cradle, Rex was sitting on the rooftop when he heard a howling noise. It sounded like a wolf, but then again, it didn't. Were wolves even in South America? He didn't think so. "Rex, there you are!" He looked back to see Dr. Holiday and Dr. Roscoe. Rex glared at Dr. Roscoe.

"How could you let them treat her like that? She's a human just like the rest of us…"

"I have tried everything to give her what you have, Rex. Cho is like a daughter to me. I want her back here because who knows what Cho can get herself into?"

"Are you saying she could be in danger?"

"Well…Cho isn't exactly one to…get into danger…she…well…is a troublemaker of sorts…she'll do anything to get her way and can get herself out of any situation…but not without leaving a few tricks behind her."

"Oh, that just makes my job a lot easier!" Rex growled. "Not only am I returning some poor chick into captivity, but now she's an elusive, trouble-causing snake! How wonderful!"

"Rex…"

"What makes you think that I even want to help now? I'm here to cure EVOs, not capture them and put them in cages like pets!"

"Rex, if I can't get to Cho, we may lose her forever!" Dr. Roscoe said, sobbing. "She is my only child. I was recruited here and the first time I laid eyes on her, I knew she needed love. Rex, she didn't know the difference between right and wrong! She would attack at the slightest movement and it took a month before she even trusted me enough to take her temperature! Rex, she's hardly older then you, but she has as much power as you."

"Rex, imagine what Van Kleiss could do to her. She may very much end up like Breach or Circe. Then her life would be even worse then what she had here." Rex turned away again.

"At least she'd be free…" He muttered.

"Rex…"

"Fine, I'll help, but under a few conditions!"

"What?"

"She gets exactly what I get, complete freedom to roam about and no more restraints. It's not right."

"…I'll call White Knight and tell him your demands."

"And tell him that if he doesn't go through with it, I'm not going to help."

"Alright…Agent Fifteen will tell you how you can probably track her and bring her back…you should get some rest…you must be tired…" Rex was tired, but he guessed that he wasn't nearly as tired as Cho.
