ILuvPurple16 and Suicune95 present
Defoliation Arc: Mission 002
A/N: Suicune95
Hello once again everyone. If we are a bit late once again, I'm very sorry. I have been bombarded with pointless English assignments that quite frankly, are draining every bit of creative energy out of my body. And Purple is busy filling out all these forms to get into one of those 'smart people' schools. I just hope all her studying was worth it, since she couldn't edit this until December. (Especially since I finished in October!) Well enjoy the chapter.
Misty limped her way on her crutches to the elevator in the Eiffel Tower. She had been injured on the field while on her mission in Paris.
"Damn it!" Misty muttered as her crutch caught on something and she almost fell to the ground. "Why the heck did I have to get injured now of all times?"
Misty managed to make it into the elevator where a man, no more than 24 years old with black hair waited impatiently for the elevator to begin its ascent to the top viewing platform.
Misty woke from her dream in a daze.
Another one? What's with these weird dreams? Misty thought as she glanced over at the clock. I've really run out of things to do, why did Gary have to give me today off of work before I went back on the field?
Misty sighed as she pulled herself out of bed to get some breakfast. The dreams were almost tearing her to shreds. Why couldn't she just forget about him? There was no way to bring him back anyway. It was too late for regrets.
Dawn dragged herself out of bed at 7:30 in the morning, once again successfully waking her husband.
"Dawn," Paul started, pressing his palm to his forehead, "is this going to be a regular thing, because I'll make sure to wear earplugs to bed from now on if it is."
Dawn fell back onto her pillow again. "I'm sorry Paul, this is exhausting to me."
"Ugh, Dawn what are you even doing up now anyways?" Paul said, trying unsuccessfully to get rid of the pounding feeling in his head, "It's Friday, you don't have work today."
Dawn sat up again, first giving Paul a blank stare before coming to realization, "Ugh, you have got to be kidding me!" She groaned and she rested her neck back on her pillow.
"… Go back to bed." Paul said before falling back into his pillow and falling back into the warm comfort of the sheets. He really still didn't get the point of Dawn having to work. It was best if he went back to sleep. He would have the twins to deal with later.
Gary threw his head back in exasperation. Geez, there sure is a lot of paperwork since Misty went back on the field. Gary thought as he continued to fill out paper after paper of work.
Whatever, Gary continued his thoughts; at least she'll be a lot happier back on the field…
"Yes of course and… Dawn, would you please feed Portia?" Paul yelled, setting the phone down momentarily, "Yes sorry I'm here…"
Dawn took the crying Portia out of Paul's arms and took her into the kitchen to get her bottle.
"Shhh, shhh, shhh, it's okay, Mommy's here." Dawn muttered as she fed Portia.
She finished feeding Portia and put her and Phil down for their nap and sat down for a rest. And why did I want kids again? She thought as she checked the clock. Time to start dinner soon I guess.
Drew came home from work early that day.
"Drew!" May yelled as her husband came through the door, jumping into his arms.
Drew smirked deviously, "Hey hun," he said kissing May's forehead, "how was your day?"
May looked up at Drew happily, "It was amazing, and I have the greatest news!"
"And what might that be?" He asked.
"I'm pregnant!" Misty yelled excitedly
"P-pregnant?" Drew said, looking shocked for a second before fainting.
"Drew!" May shrieked.
The elevator doors slid closed silently shortly after Misty had gotten on the lift.
"Hey." Misty said to the other occupant of the elevator.
"Hey," He replied, looking rather disinterested, "what happened to your leg?"
Misty glanced down at her broken leg, "Oh uh, I fell down the stairs."
Seemingly satisfied with her answer, the elevator's second occupant turned away to look at the elevator buttons lighting up as the elevator went up. The elevator went up smoothly until just before the second viewing platform, where it jerked to a sudden stop, knocking both the occupants off their feet.
"Damn it!" The black haired man in the elevator yelled. "Nothing is going my way this month!"
Misty looked over at the man in shock, seeing as he had been completely indifferent the entire elevator ride thus far. "What do you mean?"
"The stupid elevator is stuck, just as I was going to jump off the top!" The man replied, tears now coming to his eyes.
"Well why the heck would you wanna do that?" Misty yelled.
The man had tears continually running down his face now, "The girl I'm in love with is in love with someone else!"
Misty wished she could slap this guy right now. "You are going to throw your life away for a stupid girl?" Misty shouted
"B-but you wouldn't understand!" He yelled back, "I loved her, and-"
"And she obviously wasn't right for you if she fell for someone else," Misty cut him off, "but that's no reason for you to start talking crazy. If she's not the one for you, then someone else obviously is."
The man sniffed, "T-thanks…" He said, "What's your name?"
"Misty," Misty replied, "and yours?"
"Ash."
Misty woke from her nap when she fell off the couch.
"Ugh, I've got to stop dreaming about this…" Misty muttered to herself as she pulled herself up, "Why am I having all these dreams anyways?"
Misty went into the kitchen to get dinner ready.
I… I can't still be in love with him… Can I? She thought, and then angrily shook her head, No! I can't be. He tried to hurt us all, and for that I will never forgive him… But still…
She silently muttered curses at her mind, I'm thinking about this too much.
The next Monday, work was going fine, until the FBI got involved. There she was, walking around like she owned the place. Miss I'm-too-sexy-to-keep-myself-clothed. She made Misty sick. The last time Misty saw her was in college. She just plain hated the bitch and she definitely had nothing nice to say about her. Yes, there was absolutely nothing nice to say about Cassie Johans.
Misty was just standing against the walls, watching Cassie explain the FBI's problem to all the CIA officials in the room. Misty's mind probably wasn't even on the investigation topic. Her mind was trying to see if Cassie would make a mistake. Any mistake, even a small mistake.
While Misty was shooting death glares at Cassie, Gary was still trying to make sense of some of the papers the FBI Group Chief had given him. He really had no interest in listening to the FBI agent talking. She talked like she was forced to be here and was wearing a skirt that short even allowed? People, belts are not skirts.
After the briefing was over, the FBI Chief Montiago came over to talk with Gary
"Mr. Oak! There you are! I've been hearing quite a lot about you," said Montiago as he shook Gary's hand. "Well nice to meet you too, Chief Montiago. How've you been doing?"
"I'm going very well. How 'bout you?" asked Montiago
"Pretty good."
"So, for the case, I'm going to need to borrow some of your agents." Montiago said almost out of the blue.
"Of course you would need my agents, but they'll be working on the case from here."
"I'm afraid not. We need them with the FBI agents that were sent out."
"But why? This is just a one man serial killer, right?' Gary asked.
"I'm afraid not. Whoever it is, they're not working alone. It's rather strange, it almost seems to be a personal matter with this killer. He only kills women with bright blue eyes. This person is one-No, almost tens steps ahead of us. He leaves no DNA and he cleans up after himself. He also knows where we send the FBI agents and he has set traps. We lost two agents already."
Then, they were both quiet.
Gary breathed out and spoke slowly, "I'll lend you my agents, but I'll also be going with them."
"Very well," said Montiago "I'm looking forward to working with you again Oak," and with that Montiago walked off to join the group of FBI workers.
"Sure." Whispered Gary. He turned the opposite direction, heading towards his office.

Sorry for the delay! A lot of stuff was going on over the past month. I had two huge tests to get into the magnet programs. The results are gonna come in February. I just hope that studying pays off.
