A Link to the last story: Playing Catch Up.

--------------------------



Alaska, out on the outskirts of the Kloshee Ilahee Fishing Village.

"No! No! No!" Victor Torrie said as he became more & more angry with his students. He let out a sigh & then continued more calmly "I would have thought that you kids would have been able to defeat that thing easily!"

Vic motions over to the porcine looking creature wearing what appears to be a space suit of some kind, it's eating some of the frozen vegetation that was poking up through the snow.

"For God's sakes: It's only a genetically altered Pig! A stupid one but that's besides the point! Gordon told me that you guys were good but I guess he was wrong."

Mr. Torrie turns away from the group.

"We are good!" Betty Marsh said.

"Yeah. It's just that the FMRC never taught us how to fight genetically altered pigs." Ben Hermes said.

"Yeah. I must of missed that day, too." James Milton joked. Betty rolled her eyes.

Torrie turns back & says "But, in this business you have to be prepared for anything no matter what you've been trained!"

A few feet away from the Class, Gordon Matthew Summers & Clayton Greenhawk were watching the proceeding. They were leaning against Clayton's beat up old '97 Chevy Pickup truck.

"Where did Vic get that thing?" Summers asked.

"Just on the other side of that mountain" Clayotn point to the mountian in the distance. "There is this old abandoned Lab. I think it was a Zemo or a HERPES operation. But anyways Vic was on one of his many Hikes & he found the place. So while checking it out he found Porky over there. He also found a number of things we now use around here." Clayton said & then took a sip of his coffee.

"oh."

"Yeah. So, I got a question for you?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Do you really think this is helping any? I've been watching the kids ever since you got here last month & then don't seem to be getting it. They don't even seem to get the basic concepts."

"Maybe. But, I have faith in them. Plus, we have to beat the false teachings I was forced to give them."

"Interesting choice of words." Clayton said & gave a wry smile as he took another sip.

Summers blushed a bit & then stumbled over a few words.

"I know what you went. It's just that I don't want to see you go through what you did when you lost the last group."

"Yeah." Summers said & his mind drifted back to that time. Then, he came back. "I'm trying to avoid that. That's partly why I'm here."

"True enough. When do you think you'll be heading back East?"

"I don't know. From what I've been piecing together from hearsay & from the News I think the best place for these kids are to stay right here for the moment."

"Yeah. But you guys are going to have to go back sometime to face what you left back there."

"Yes. But, I don't think they are ready yet & I'm not sure if I'm either."

The Parrodipolis Office of The Federal Meta-Human Resource Center.

Ruben Holcomb is walking back to his office. His Secretary, Jane, was walking with him.

"Now, Jane. Your Boyfriend..."

"Ex-Boyfriend" Jane said interrupting him.

Holcomb shot her a look that said he didn't like being interrupted & then continued on "All right, Your Ex-Boyfriend & his mute friend are banned from visiting you during work hours. Their presence are too much of a distraction. They may visit you during your lunch time but not on Company property. Understood?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good. Now, what's my schedule for the afternoon?"

"You have a One Thirty with Mr. Garrick via Satellite. After that Miss Brandiwyne would like to show you what B-Class has been working lately, according to her they have a few new moves that might please you very much. At Three, you have your meeting with Sir Mumphrey about the Future of the FMRC."

Holcomb groaned at the mention of the Englishmen's name. Jane paused for a moment not sure if she was to continue but Holcomb gave the sign for her to.

"After that you have a dinner meeting at The Gilded Mongoose with..."

"I know who." Holcomb said cutting Jane off & then looked at his watch. "It's Eleven Thirty. Who do I have now?"

"Miss Waltz is waiting for you in your office."

"How long has she been there?" Holcomb asked.

Jane checked her watch & then the clock on the wall. "About Five to Ten Minutes."

Holcomb mumbled a few things under his breath & then entered his office. There sitting at his desk was Miss Diao Waltz. On the desk was her companion, Davidowicz. He appeared to be reading some of the papers on the desk.

"Your Lackey said you wanted to see me?"

"Jane is not my lackey, she's my Secretary."

"Back when we worked together, you had Lackeys & not Secretaries."

"Times change, Diao. I've changed."

"I know. Your the acting head of a big important Government type organization."

"But I am the Government."

"Yeah. Sure. But, that's not what I've been hearing." Miss Waltz said condescendingly as she got up from the chair. Davidowicz skittered across the desk.

"Thank you." Holcomb said as he sat down & Miss Waltz sat down on one of the chairs across the desk from him.

"Sure. Anything for an old friend." Diao said with an evil smile.

Holcomb reaches under the chair, grabs the device from under it & crushes it with his bare hands. Then drops it in the trash can. He gives her the same evil smile.

"So, what did you want see me about?"

"This." Holcomb said as he took a file out of a locked drawer & then hands it to her.

Miss Waltz looked it over. "Hmmm... Interesting... Goth Haven? Never would of thought to look there." she said. She also laughed a bit too. "That crazy Zemo, didn't he know that by doing that he'd kill us all. But, maybe that was the point."

She puts down the file on the desk. Davidowicz crawls into the files folder to see what's inside.

"So?"

"I'd like you help getting this back up & running."

"Well... I had heard rumors of Zemo making something like this but those were just rumors. So, how did you get your grubby little hands on this bit of information?"

"Like I said I'm the Government & nothing is secret from us."

"True."

The two start to laugh. Davidowicz also laughs. They all stop laughing. Then, Miss Waltz offers her hand & says "You got a deal, Ruby. When do we start?"

Holcomb shakes it & says "Soon."
