Jessie couldn't even begin to convey how great it felt to be back with her family, the Joe's hadn't been terribly bad, but her loved ones were much preferred. She looked over to where Anna was leaning over a laptop, curious she walked over to see what her "older sister" was doing.

".. his cerebral cortex."

"I hate to break the news to you, but I don't think he's gonna give you much in his dead condition."

There was the sound of something piercing skin and simultaneously one of the lines on the laptops screen started to fluctuate.

"The brain survives a couple of minutes after death."

"We can retrieve he electrical impulses from his most recent memories and convert them to images."

"Well, can we find Duke?"

"We need to find the other three warheads first."

"If this guy remembers his way home, maybe we can find both."

It was then that Anna started to type away at the machine in front of her furiously. They couldn't have the Joes find their secret base; it would put their entire operation in danger. A small video feed of Breaker holding a small device popped up in the right hand corner of the screen as Anna continued to type away.

"Okay, here comes the images, let's see where this guy's been."

Suddenly the body began to jerk about as if it was being electrocuted.

"He's still alive!"

"He can't be, he's got 3-inch needles in his head!"

"Hey dead guys don't breakdance!"

"What's happening Breaker?"

"Nanomites, they're eating him."

"Must be some sort of self-destruct, hurry Breaker!"

"Come on, come on, come on. No, no! No, No, No!"

Jessie had to laugh as the video cut out, Anna was a genius; there was no way Breaker was going to get the information he wanted before she shut him down.

At the same time McCullen and Rex were watching the same feed from their home base.

"The beauty of nanotechnology." McCullen nodded the slight smile on his face the only sign that he was pleased with their accomplishment.

The news came about an hour later that a group of armed American's had been arrested. Again Jessie couldn't help but laugh, sure the Joe's had stopped the nanomites from finishing their job in France but in the overall scheme of things, they had lost. They had lost possession of the other three warheads and were now detained and unable to retrieve the lost weapons. Not to mention their leader was confined to a wheel chair, unable to assist them in battle. Jessie was feeling pretty confident that her father's plans would go off without a hitch now that the Joes were out of the way.

"Call McCullen, tell him we have the three warheads and Viper."

"Right away."

Duke was awake and Jessie found it highly entertaining how their roles had been reversed.

"Why didn't you just kill me?"

"McCullen has something special in mind for you."

Duke seemed to flinch when McCullen was mentioned, "What happened to you?"

"Now you care?" Jessie flinched a bit; she could tell that this conversation was going to be a nasty one and she leaned into Storm Shadow a bit preparing herself for the oncoming storm. He looked over at her and smirked a little. He found it adorable that she would hide behind him whenever she felt threatened, even if the threat was just a verbal fight.

"Okay, I am sorry, I'm sorry about Rex; I'm sorry that I couldn't bring Rex home. And I'm so sorry that I couldn't face you afterwards."

"Well, everybody's sorry about something."

The fact that McCullen had chosen to build his base under the Polar Icecaps had always fascinated Jessie, it was such a random spot and at the same time it was perfect. No one would ever suspect they were there and even if they did it would be extremely hard for them to launch a successful attack. There were thousands of miles of ice and it was at least 10 stories thick, it made finding the base near impossible unless you already knew where it was. Not to mention the sea life that they saw outside the compound was breathtaking.

Unfortunately the jet they were on wasn't built for the water and so they had to be dropped off at one of the ground level entrances. As they were about to enter the compound Duke suddenly grabbed the war heads case using it to knock Jessie and two of the Viper Soldiers to the ground before turning to make a run for it. The guard at the entrance raised his gun to shoot the Joe when Anna sopped him.

"No! McCullen has plans for him!" Storm Shadow used one of his shuriken to subdue the man, though he may have put a bit more force behind the throw than necessary. The Joe had hurt Jessie and that was unforgivable in his eyes.

Two of the guards started to beat on Duke but Anna put a quick stop to that, "Enough."

Storm Shadow casually walked past the downed man and grabbed the case before kneeling down next to him.

"And what was your plan? Run 3,000 miles across the ice? Stupid soldier." Having said his bit he walked off, stopping to help Jessie up before continuing on into the base. Anna stayed a bit longer to make sure Duke was being properly handled before smirking at him and heading inside herself.

The group took a high-speed elevator down to the main part of the base where McCullen was waiting for them.

Storm Shadow exited first informing McCullen that they still had 3 warheads left to use.

"Take the warheads to the missiles. I want them ready to launch in one hour."

"It will be done."

McCullen nodded to Jessie, acknowledging that she was back before turning his attention to Anna. Feeling as though she had been dismissed Jessie followed after Storm Shadow feeling a tad hurt that her own father didn't seem to care about the fact that his daughter had just returned from being held captive. She knew he had a lot on his mind at the moment but still… At least she knew that Storm Shadow was glad to have her back and she knew that when she went down to the labs Rex was sure to give her a warm welcome. She would just have to give her father time, or so she hoped.
