Agent Gracie clears the EVAL Corp. device of napalm while the Enforcers willingly hand over the case to the MBI, seemingly unwilling to deal with it. Captain Forge contacts EVAL Corp. about the device but is unable to determine its purpose, only getting vague references and instructions to keep it secret. Now Forge is tasked with finding a critical piece of the device that’s gone AWOL.
Meanwhile, McGrath reveals more details about the recent Mafia friction and provides a way for Felony to gain an edge against the Triads that will further her creditability: helping McGrath to steal the device the MBI just captured.

<Gracie_Pat> ::mun laughing::
<Hans_Lynx> <Renegade>::while all of that was going on at the warehouse ‘n stuff, had talked to Enzo, giving him the idea on how to get Shady closer is by changing her job over. he likes the idea, greatly so! will call her up if she’s available::
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::yes I am!::
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo>::then answer your phone, foo’!::
*** McGrath is now known as Commander_Feral
<Commander_Feral> :: arrives in the MBI parking lot with an entourage of officers ::
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::Just got out of the shower, pulls on a bathrobe and answers her chippering and vibrating phone. Eyes the ID and blinks. Huh?:: … Hello?
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> Nightshade… glad I got ahold of you. It is Enzo.
<Hans_Lynx> ::closed infirmary door. and the bathroom door to the infirmary bathroom too. XD::
<Commander_Feral> :: enters in through the lobby, looking to see who’s in charge here ::
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady> um… ::eyes her place a moment:: … What’s up?

<Hans_Lynx> ((<Gracie>::picked up bloody mary mix already mixed instead of tomato juice XD:: <Hans>::drunk, talking to himself and giggling::))
<Gracie_Pat> (( ::laughing!:: ))
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> Why no, of course not. In fact, I’m calling you for a promotion.
<Commander_Feral> I’ll…see if I can find one of them, then… :: walks away XD ::
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>… Say What? Did you fall and hit your head or something?
<Joseph_Forge> (((::DIIIIIES!:: <Hans>::playing pirates with the bars of soap:: ARRRR! Hoist the sail ya scallywags! ::lets one rip in the tubb!:: Oh no! Its a storm a brewin’!))

<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> Okay! Have a wonderful day, Mr. Big Chin! ::waves happily to Feral and his men::
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> Not interested? It pays a lot better and will keep kats from pawing you in clubs for ‘nip.
<Commander_Feral> :: walking down the hallway, trying to find someone who’s in charge ::
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady> I’m interested… I just… ::shakes her head:: What does this promotion entail?
<Joseph_Forge> ::I’m in the breakroom, Feral!::
<Joseph_Forge> ::still in civvies actually! in cotton track pants and a t-shirt and still barefoot. lol!::
<Gracie_Pat> ::now being silly, wearing her weilding goggles again and eating another pastry. Looks alittle crazy, since she’s speckled wtih tomato juice and gives off the faint aroma of burnt black powder XD::
<Joseph_Forge> ::chuckles at her and shakes head:: yep..you fit right in.
<Gracie_Pat> ::grins at Joe:: thanks! :3
<Hans_Lynx> ::finishes up his tomato bath! drains it out since Gracie got enough for a couple of baths, and then stands to shower with regular water. glad he doesn’t smell of napalm now::
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> On nights you’re not working at a club, you will be my driver as well as one of my bodyguards. Renegade says you are a great shot.
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady> ::blinks blinks….:: ….. Okay. ::sniffs the soda she was drinking just a little before her shower to insure it isn’t tainted with alcohol:: When does my new job start?
<Commander_Feral> :: walks to the breakroom, looking inside :: Who’s in charge here?
<Joseph_Forge> ::blinks at the commander and stands:: That would be today. ::salutes:: Captain Forge. What can I do for you commander?
<Gracie_Pat> ::looks up at Feral…then at Joe.. Oooh…. Decides to watch::
<Commander_Feral> I received word that your agency found a certain stolen item. I’m here to personally escort it back to its developers.
<Gracie_Pat> (( <Joe> If this certain stolen item is your sanity, COmmander I’m afraid we don’t have it. <Feral> =__= ))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> Immediately. Take a cab to ::gives addy:: where I’ll be waiting in the lobby. We’ll take my car to a firing range so I can see your skills for myself before we make this a finalized deal.
<Joseph_Forge> We do have a stolen item but I’m afraid its in our evidence to be processed as part of an ongoing investigation.
<Hans_Lynx> ((::busts up!::))
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady> ::almost makes a crack about that involving her putting on clothes:: Alright, I’ll be there very shortly. I’m gonna let you go now.
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> Excellent. See you soon. ::hangs up::
<Commander_Feral> I’ve been informed by its owners at EVAL Corp. that it’s highly unstable and potentially dangerous if left in untrained hands. If you want to have access to it you can attach an agent to it, but it needs to be brought back to the R&D center.
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::hangs up and flails! Scurries around her apartment to find something decent to wear. braides her hair then pulls on some jeans and a plain tee shirt and sneakers. Tucks the gun into the waistband of her pants and pulls the shirt over to cover it. Locks up then heads out! Worried this is some really mean trick of Enzo’s::
<Hans_Lynx> ::gets outta shower. dries off now and gets dressed in spare MBI uniform of his. just the pants, boots and t-shirt.::
<Gracie_Pat> ::querks a eyebrow at this, Feral seems to want this really badly. it must hold like… alien babies or something::
<Joseph_Forge> Unstable? potentially dangerous? Commander with all due respect, myself and another agent just come in dripping in napalm after rescuing it from a warehouse that just went up in flames. How much more dangerous does it get?
<Gracie_Pat> (( <Feral> That thing holds the concentrated form of M.S. <Joe> M.S.? <Feral> Mary Sue. If any of that leaks out, SNAP anything it touches turns into a Mary Sue. <Joe> ….. Great. ))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Hans_Lynx> ((::DEAD!!::))
<Hans_Lynx> ::enters breakroom now:: Your turn for a V8 d- ::pauses seeing Feral and some Enforcers with him. curious expression::
<Commander_Feral> You can tell the representatives at EVAL Corp. about it. I’m sure they’ll be appreciative. <Enforcers> :: arrive behind Feral :: <Feral> But I have my own obligations. Now, if you’ll please show my men to this device.
<Joseph_Forge> I believe I’d like to know more about this dangerous thing before we release it, Commander.
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::hails a cab and heads towards that address Enzo gave::
<Commander_Feral> I’ve had an army of lawyers breathing down my neck ever since this thing was stolen and I’m not waiting another second to quell them. You can deliver it with me if you like, but it’s not staying here.
<Commander_Feral> :: has had a bad week. Is happy in one sense that the SWAT Kats have apparently disbandonned. Is unhappy about the likely repricussions that will ensue ::
<Hans_Lynx> Why not? ::says from behind Feral, frowning:: You know what we had to go through to get that?
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo>::waiting in his apt. building’s lobby for her::
<Joseph_Forge> Why don’t we call Eval Corp from here then? Talk with them ourselves.
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::exits the cab and makes her way into the lobby of the building. Wearing this expression o_o ::
<Hans_Lynx> <doorman>::expecting her, lets her in:: <Enzo>::sitting on one of the lobby’s plush sofas. sees her enter and stands, grinning:: Ready?
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>… Not really, but let’s go ahead.
<Commander_Feral> What do you want? A parade? :: A bit meanly. Then to Forge :: If you want to take responsibility for this thing then be my guest. :: holds out a clipboard with already prepared papers on it :: A transfer of investigation to another jurisdiction form. You’re the lead agent. Sign here :: hands it to him ::
<Joseph_Forge> Fine. ::will sign off on it and hands it back:: Good day, Commander. ::smirks::
<Hans_Lynx> ::gives him a nasty look, mouths behind him mockingly what he said. peh.::
<Gracie_Pat> (( <Feral> you MBI always spoil my fun. <Gracie> Only because your fun is old and prone to getting spoiled. ))
<Joseph_Forge> ((lol!))
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> ::smirks:: Go on. You exit buildings before I do. Ladies first and all.
<Hans_Lynx> ((::snorks::))
<Commander_Feral> :: smiles :: Of course, with that act comes the transfer of liability of damages from the Enforcers to the MBI. Rumor has it that device costs a few million easily. I hope you’ve got insurance. Let’s go. :: walks away with his men in tow, having happily washed his hands of the investigation ::
<Hans_Lynx> ::moves back to let them all go by::
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::avoids from following her urge to razz him. Exits the building before him, eyeing the street as they exit out onto it.::
<Joseph_Forge> ::Shakes head mrring.:: will someone get me the number to Eval corp while I go get this napalm off?
*** Commander_Feral is now known as McGrath
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> I hope you’re looking about, checking the scenery and all out in it. ::stops when they reach his car:: Here’s the keys. ::hands them over to her::
<Hans_Lynx> Sure thing. ::goes over to phone book and searches for it::
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::takes the keys from him:: Believe it or not yes, I’m checking the scenery out. ::unlocks door for Enzo then heads over to the driver’s side of the car and gets in::
<McGrath> <Phone Book> :: I’m not an anachronism, no siree! XD Lists the number ::::
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> ::gets in the back. after all she’s the driver now. smirks::
<Hans_Lynx> ::writes number down, will give it to Joe when he’s done with his tomato bath. goes and sits next to Gracie:: Alright, woman. Where’s my pastries?
<Joseph_Forge> ::will go to bathtub and do what Hans did earlier! yumm…Trina gonna love this fresh Tomato smell XD for the sake of RPGness, showers and gets in another uniform. will come back to the breakroom and take said number from Hans! lol!:: Thanks guys. ::will sit and pull phone over to the table and put it on speaker and dial up Eval Corp.::
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::hits the auto lock button on the doors and fires up the Engine:: Okay, where’s the firing range you intend to test me at?
<Hans_Lynx> No problem.
<McGrath> <Eval Corp> :: directs Forge to the proper extension :: <Technician> “This is R&D, how can I help you?”
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo>::gives her an address:: It’s closed off to the public for awhlie so we can have privacy.
<Joseph_Forge> Ah yes, this is Captain Forge at the MBI. I’m calling reguarding some stolen equipment of yours.
<Hans_Lynx> ::munches quietly and listen’s to Joe’s end of the convo::
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady> Lovely ::begins now to drive. Feels this is like a a really demented ‘Driving Miss daisy’ but she doubts Daisy wanted to jump her driver’s bones::
<McGrath> <Technician> “You found it?” :: audible sigh :: “Thank goodness. That thing’s caused enough problems already. It’s been a PR nightmare. Does the media know?”
<Gracie_Pat> ::eating too. Ooooo… I’m exciting! <.< Begans to make a building of packets of sugar::
<McGrath> :: walks across the hall to Felony’s office, knocks on the door ::
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> You bring a piece with you?
<Joseph_Forge> No but they could shortly. The warehouse it was in was blown up. Thing was drenched in napalm. Myself and another agent got it out, and another agent cleaned it up. its safe and sound in our evidence room.
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady> I always do. :;drive drive drive::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> Who is it?
<McGrath> Me.
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo>::once they arrive, remains in the car seated::
<McGrath> <Technician> “Let’s try to keep them out of this if possible” :: sounds like he’s rumaging around with something :: “Can you be descrete, Captain Forge?”
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::parks the car, hiding the frown she’s wanting to give. shuts her door then heads to the back of the car to let Enzo out of the back of the car::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> Come in. ::half laying on a sofa in the room. Guns Monthly magazine over her face as she was about to nap::
<Joseph_Forge> We always are. Whats up with this thing anyway? Whats it do? Its part of an investigation now.
<McGrath> <Technician> “Ah yes, it is you” :: as if he’s reading off of a file :: “You were the MBI agent who was responsible for wrapping up that little incident last year with Dr. Susan Valentine.”
<McGrath> We need to talk.
<McGrath> :: as he enters XD ::
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::opens the door up and gestures for Enzo to exit Oh the indiginity of this already::
<Joseph_Forge> One of them, yes. We work as a team here though. Your point?
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> ::exits the car and smiles:: Doing good already. ::chuckles, amused:: C’mon. ::leads her inside the firing range. speaks to the owner who lets ‘em back in there. a few guns already set up::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony>::moves magazine off her face and sits up:: So talk.
<McGrath> <Technician> “Well, the machine you have in your possession was the device that she was working on that er… malfunctioned and gave her those abnormal abilities.” :: stresses the next point :: “Keep in mind that was an ACCIDENT and in no way reflects the intentions of EVIL Corp. or is subsidaries”
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::following Enzo. Curious what the end result may be::
<Joseph_Forge> I understand. any idea what this machine’s capabilites are then?
<McGrath> The Triads had a run-in with the MBI. They lost possession on something. It’s likely to severely irritate their… “business partner.” It’s an opportunity.
<McGrath> ((of^))
<McGrath> <Technician> “Well, that depends. If you could check the machine quickly for me that would be great. I’d just like to make sure that nothing is missing”
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> Here we are. First, I want to see you use your own piece. What do you carry?
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> ::smirks:: What did they lose now?
<Joseph_Forge> ::will grab the portable there as will say is like mun’s portable that has speakerphone on it. heads down to evidence and looks at the device:: alright. I’m looking at it.
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::takes out her gun from it’s tucked away space in her waistband. Is a small gun, silver. Mun never thought really of what kind. Perhaps a Desert Eagle or something like that::
<McGrath> Someone’s personal property. It doesn’t matter what it was. All that matters is their business partner will be severely unhappy about this. He’ll be more likely to acquire… newer partners outside the Triads.
<Gracie_Pat> ::though desert eagle’s aren’t really that small XD::
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> Alright. ::walks her over to one of the windows:: Target’s ready. Go ahead.
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> And who’s this big shot?
<McGrath> <Technician> “Check near the rear of the device, there should be a small cylindrical port. It’s about 4 inches in diameter and 12 inches deep.”
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::aims a moment or so before she squeezes off several rounds::
<McGrath> <Technician> “Is it empty?”
<Joseph_Forge> ::goes over to check. is it?::
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo>::looks on, pressing button to have the paper return to ‘em. up to Shady on how she did::
<Hans_Lynx> ::letting Joe handle this. ugh his gut is sore lol as are rest of muscles::
<McGrath> He’s a major player. Overseas. Likes to have local organized crime do some favors for him before he shows up in person. He’s loaded, and he’s got ties. You want to be on his good side.
<McGrath> The Triads are very close to being on his bad side.
<Joseph_Forge> <Tasha>::mawww baby! I pamper you later!::
<McGrath> <Device> :: port is indeed vacant ::
<Joseph_Forge> Yes, its empty. HOpefully its supposed to be?
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> And the Katpones ain’t already?
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::eyes the paper, noting the fact one of her shots landed in the targets errr…bathing suit area. Frowns slightly. Two shots landed in the chest, one in the head and another in the throat::
<McGrath> <Technician> “Oh my…uh…” :: drops something, can be heard clattering. Regathers himself. Speaks quietly :: “Alright, uh, Captain Forge. This is very important. There is supposed to be something in that port. It’s a cylinder, that matches those proportions. It glows neon green. Hard to miss. Are you sure you didn’t see it?”
<McGrath> Not yet. This is a chance for redemption and a chance to eliminate the competition.
<Joseph_Forge> I’m certain. There were two kats there when we found it though. Possible their employers have it. We lost the kats trying to get the device out before the warehoue blew
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo>::whistles:: Renegade didn’t lie. ::grins:: Excellent.
<McGrath> <Technician> “You need to find that cylinder, Captain Forge. It’s really really important that you do. The rest of that thing is junk without it.”
<Joseph_Forge> What does it do and if this thing is so dangerous is there any precautions we need to take in handling it if we do find it?
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> So what, I go and get whatever it is the MBI took?
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::small amused look::
<Gracie_Pat> ::has dozed off, those pastries made her sleepy. it’s a Conspiracy!::
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> Here. ::takes up a smaller gun, pistal of some sort:: Try a smaller weapon that’s easier to pack.
<McGrath> <Technician> “It’s not dangerous in the typical sense… look, if you find it, but for some reason can’t get it back to us, destroy it!”
<Joseph_Forge> I ask again, what does it do?
<Hans_Lynx> ::will paint your nails with black marker when you sleep… >_> okay won’t. XD waiting on Joe to return::
<McGrath> <Technician> “And please, keep the media out of this, and do it quietly. The company will compensate whatever you want for this”
<McGrath> <Technician> :: hangs up ::
<Joseph_Forge> ::mrrs and hangs up. wishes he’d have told him what it did. heads upstairs again to the breakroom:: Great…
<Hans_Lynx> ((<Joe> Why do I feel like I’m sitting with a timebomb?))
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::takes up the smaller gun, the paper is replaced on the target thing and now fires off a few rounds with this gun::
<Hans_Lynx> What’s the deal, Joe?
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIES!:: <Gracie> I SWEAR I don’t have one on me..honest! <Joe> <_< ))
<McGrath> Yes.
<Joseph_Forge> We don’t have the whole thing. There’s a piece missing. The most crucial piece too.
<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL!!))
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> Yeah well, that ain’t happening. ::gets up now and goes over to her desk::
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo>::once done, has it return!::
<Gracie_Pat> (( <Gracie> I don’t have one on me… But I can easily whip one up. Gimmeh a paper clip, a pack of gum and a sock! <Hans> I don’t want to even…. <Joe> … You can make a bomb out of chewing gum? ))
<McGrath> Not enough free spots in your schedule?
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::this time the shots are clustered around the heart area of the target, with a stray bullet hole in a shoulder::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> I’d rather not deal with them. I got lucky in getting back a stolen van of ‘nip from ‘em. ::sits on edge of desk, folds arms over chest:: Goin’ up in their HQ will be just plain stupid.
<Hans_Lynx> A PIECE Missing?! You gotta be kidding me!
<Joseph_Forge> Yeah. Apparently what we killed ourselves over is useless without it. ::shakes head:: No telling where is. I guess we go back to that warehoue and start from there…
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> Not bad… not bad at all. I think this is gonna work out. Forget you drivin’ me, your staying at my side at all times.
<Hans_Lynx> Didn’t they tell you what the thing does?
<Joseph_Forge> Nope. I tried and couldn’t get it out of him. Its a cylindrical object. Four inches around and 12 inches long. Bright green.
<McGrath> It needs to be done. It’s the leverage you’ll need for further creditability. This will supply the Katpones with a crucial bargaining chip that leads to the downfall of the Triads, making the Katpones the leading crime organization in city. When you take over, you’ll be fully in charge of not just this mob, but the city.
<McGrath> ((in the city^))
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::tilts her head and looks at him:: …. ::man this is screwy, he just told me before I was a green horn and now he wants me at his side?::
<Hans_Lynx> … bright green? What is it mutagen? They gonna make ninja turtles with it?
<Hans_Lynx> ::frustrated lol::
<Joseph_Forge> ::Snorks:: I hope not. We’ll go back here soon and look at that warehouse again. Make sure we didn’t drop it out somewhere or something. hopefully the Triads don’t have it.
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> ::huffs. runs fingers through her hair a bit:: The city huh? And this guy stays in Europe, just has things for whoever’s in his favor to do every once in awhile?
<Gracie_Pat> ..mutate roses so they’d be tall jello eating monsters? ::asks sort of half sleepy like::
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady> Your side? Like… your bodyguard?
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>…. Not your driver?
<McGrath> He may make the occasional visit, but he has no interest in running local operations. His goals are more… political.
<Hans_Lynx> ::sighs then smirks at Gracie there:: Let’s give ‘em a cylander full of jello and see if they’ll tell us why it isn’t what they want.
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> You up for it?
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> Kit Cheney’s already in office and ain’t runnin’ in 2008. ::smirks::
<McGrath> <Fire Marshall> :: arrives in the lobby, with a garbage bag of stuff ::
<McGrath> Something like that :: small smile ::
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady> ::thinks a moment:: … … Yes.
<McGrath> <Fire Marshall> Hello? :: loudly ::
<Hans_Lynx> ((<Fire Marshall> Alright now, you thiiink this is a bag of garbage right, that ol’ Bill is holding? Uh uh! Let me… show you something! ::toothy psycho grin::))
<McGrath> ((::snorks ::))
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> ::wow he SMILED. -g-:: Fine then… but how do I get IN to the MBI and OUT without gettin’ busted?
<Joseph_Forge> ::chuckles Then blinks. gets up and goes out to the loby:: Can I help you with something?
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> ::abandoned her post to watch TV. that’s more interesting than Mr. Big Chin’s scowling::
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> Wonderful! ::laughs a bit and shakes her hand::
<Joseph_Forge> ((AUGH! ::Ready to beat someone if they don’t stop calling!:: They’ve called three times tonight just now. Its some kid playing with a phone I think. They call Josh’s cell phone number and then you can hear a kid but no one ever talks. its getting really annoying))
<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL!!))
<McGrath> Go to the bureau. Make a small scene with Joseph Forge in the lobby. Make sure you get everyone’s attention. Don’t kill anyone. Don’t physically hurt anyone. I’ll need at least 15 minutes.
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::shakes Enzo’s hand:: …. Why do I suddenly feel like this just turned everything upside down?
<Joseph_Forge> ((……..four times. Answered by saying “Please stop calling this number. Its a wrong number!” Kid is like “sorry…” and hung up. I think its a kid trying to call someone and keeps getting the wrong number so instead of parents actually doing something they just let him and then kid just calls and calls and hangs up on us))
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony>::frowns:: If I see Joey’s mug, I’m going to do my best to physically harm him. ::mrrr::
<McGrath> Let’s do this now, before anything changes.
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> I sometimes have that effect on she-kats. ::grins at her:: Get your piece and lets go.
<McGrath> <Fire Marshall> Yeah, I tried to get this to the Enforcers. But they said you guys were gonna be handling it :: reaches into the bag and withdraws a partially burnt license plate :: This was off a car that was parked at the other end of the warehouse. It didn’t make it, but one of its plates did.
<Joseph_Forge> ::blinks and takes the plate carefuly:: Yeah we got the case now. Thanks a lot. This could help us. You guys didn’t find anything else did you? Maybe a cylinder?
<Gracie_Pat> <Shady>::replaces her piece into it’s hiding place:: Want me to drive us back? <.< ::likes driving his car XD::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> Yeah yeah… fine. ::gets up. grabs up her trench and puts it on as she heads out the door. armed and dangerous!:: You’re springing me if I get busted.
<McGrath> You won’t. :: goes with ::
<McGrath> <Fire Marshall> There was absolutely nothing left. Even the iron machinery was left as nothing but sticky goo. :: tips his fire hat :: You need anything else you let me know :: heads on out ::
<Hans_Lynx> <Enzo> If you want, be my guest. ::goes out with her, thanking the owner and all. hands him a wad of cash and goes out after Shady::

<McGrath> :: enters the bureau through the back door, and enters the breakroom. Lays a hand on Tansy’s shoulder ::
<Hans_Lynx> ::goes in after and peers over Joe’s shoulder::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> HELLOOOOOOOOO?!?!? ::whips out uzi and fires at the bell to ring::
<McGrath> <DMV Database> :: brings the plates up and the vehicle’s registration. Has a physical address XD ::

<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> ::turns to see who it is… then eyes widen and she squeals:: Great On- er McGrath! ::leaps up and hugs him lol if she were bigger would’ve tackled him to the ground::
<Hans_Lynx> No but I can get one real quick. ::starts towards the door::

<McGrath> :: waits for Joe to run past the breakroom. Once he’s gone :: I need you to do me a favor. Come with me :: heads out into the hallway, heading in the opposite direction ::
<Hans_Lynx> ((::DIIES::))
<Joseph_Forge> ::growls:: Hey! keep that up and you’ll pay for that desk! what are you doing in here this time?!
<Hans_Lynx> ::rushes to the desk room to pick up his gun. makes way down hall now towards lobby::
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> ::giggles and flies up and follows McGrath!::
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana>::You always were his favorite sister! tongue ::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> Ah, there ya are, Joey. Just comin’ to have a bit of a chat with ya. I’m sure you heard the latest, a SWAT Kat done gone angry and quit his job! Boo hoo hoo. If he needs a pick me up, I can help arrange that.
<McGrath> :: pauses, hearing the oncoming footsteps. Puts back towards the wall, waiting for Hans to go past him. Withdraws small chrome device, and has it in his hand. Once Hans goes past, will attempt to come up behind him with his arm wrapped around Han’s neck, but instead of breaking his neck, will plant the device into the base of his neck. Old school XD ::
<Hans_Lynx> ::enters lobby now, aims weapon at Felony::
<Joseph_Forge> I doubt he needs a pick me up. Stop being a resident nut job and get out of here before I have to lock you up.
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy>::I’m sorry sister! you just sleep too much XD::
<Hans_Lynx> ::er does not make it to lobby lol XD is planted with a device?::
<McGrath> :: knocks him painlessly unconscious with it XD ::

<Joseph_Forge> <Assana>::i’m not sleeping! I’m depressed that McG left us and I”m watching emo soap operas in our box in his former broom closet! XD::
<McGrath> :: continues on his way, heading to the basement ::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> C’mon, Joey… don’t be like that. Yer in law enforcement, don’t you guys have the SWAT Kats home phone or something? Email?
<Joseph_Forge> Nope. Sure don’t. B’sides, I’d not give it to you if I did. Now get out of here. You’re acting like a drunk bar junkie.
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy>::well I don’t like your emo soaps so I watch cartoons in the breakroom! XD stays behind McGrath, still floating in the air:: That wasnt’ very nice, McGrath. ::giggles, follows him out once again::
<McGrath> It’s just a game. He’ll be fine.. :: enters the basement entrance, and goes downstairs ::
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana>::nobody luuuuvs mmmmmmeeeeeeee! waaaaail! ;_; ::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony>::laughs a bit:: Okay okay… thing is, seriously… I need to know just how long this break up is gonna last… y’know competitions picking up with one of them do-gooders gone.
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> ::trailing behind him:: Assana! ::calls out:: Assana, McGrath is here!
<Joseph_Forge> He’s due back tonight. ::smirks.::
<McGrath> :: walks across the room, heading towards the evidence locker. Keys in a code, opening the door ::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony>::snorks at that:: Now why don’t I believe that?
<McGrath> <Joe’s Computer> :: has a pop-up that shows the evidence locker is open, but since he’s not there… ::
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana>::blinks and flys out of her box and into the main room. is her minature size. Eyes widen and squeals, flying over to try to tackle McGrath down though is little so um….lol! just crashes into his neck and hugs:: McGrath!!
<Joseph_Forge> ::shrugs:: Suit yourself. GOnna be funny when he comes and kicks your tail for staying out too late.
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy>::giggles:: He’s even playing a game!
<McGrath> :: is undeterred XD. Walks into the evidence locker, heads to the EVAL Corp. Device. :: Alright, now it’s your turn :: turns to them :: I need you to shrink this contraption down to about an eight of its size.
<McGrath> ((eighth^))
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> ::keeping track of time as she stalls. so wants to give him a new hole in his head XD:: Ain’t no tom ever kicked my tail.
<Joseph_Forge> One needs to then. Learn you a lesson or two. ::Crosses arms:: Get out of here, Felony.
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana>::giggles:: ooo a game! ::will fly over by her sister!::
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> ::stands now at the table next to it:: What is it? ::peering at the device. sniffs it:: It smells funny.
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> Make me.
<McGrath> It’s a movie projector. It’s been stolen. I’m returning it to its owner.
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> Ooooh… ::then looks at him:: What is a movee projektor?
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana>::flies over to look at it curiously!::
<Joseph_Forge> ::takes a couple steps towards her::
<McGrath> If you keep asking questions then I won’t have time to get you two ice cream.
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony>::aims her guns at him::
<Joseph_Forge> Shoot me here and there’s lots of security cameras watching so they can send you away for a long long time..
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> Ice cream?! ::giddy! is already big, so stands and leans over:: Help quick Assana!
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana>::grows her own self to be her 3′ self:: okay! I want vanilla! ::will grab the device and concentrate to shrink it!::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> Hope they get my good side… ::chuckles::
<Joseph_Forge> ::Mrrs.:: Get out. NOW!
<McGrath> <Device> :: no doubt shrinks when they will it to ::
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> ::helps Assana to shrinkydink the device! soon has it down to the size McGrath requested:: There you go! ::is her tiny portable size now::
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana>::is as well, with the device:: Here you go! ::offering it to McGrath!::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> Such anger… ::frowning now, serious expression:: someday I’m going to see fear on your face when I look you in the eyes.
<McGrath> :: reaches down and grabs the device, pocketing it. Notes that 14 minutes and 51 seconds have passed :: Now, if you two want to blink me to that ice cream parlor we last went to, we can get that ice cream.
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> Okay okay! ::hops up and down. poofs 3′ again and grabs one of his arms::
<Joseph_Forge> That I seriously doubt. I never fear the likes of you.
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> We’ll see. ::turns now and exits the lobby doors::
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana>::heee! giddy and will poof to 3′ as well and clings to his other arm!:: Lets go sister! ::will blink him out of there!::
<Hans_Lynx> ::taking a nap, drooling on the floor in the hall::
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy>::bwhee hee hee! they arrive at that icecream parolor!::
<Hans_Lynx> ((parlor^))
<McGrath> :: is teleported away. No doubt appearing out of thin air to that same bewildered store clerk XD :: Get them whatever they want :: slaps a pack of twenties on the counter ::
<Joseph_Forge> ::Watching her go and sighs, shaking his head. will go to see what the fuzzy happened to Lynx.:: Hans?! ::going around the corner and blinks at the sleeping, drooling hans:: Hans? ::goes over to check him::
<Hans_Lynx> ::KOed… but painlessly so! XD::
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana>::grins. he’s our pimp! XD mun diiies!:: I want vanilla with lots of sprinkles!
<McGrath> :: while they’re busy getting their ice cream, takes out a cell phone and calls Felony ::
<Joseph_Forge> ::wonders whats going on. getting a bad feeling. will heft Hans up and take him to the infirmary to lay down and let him sleep it off. heads back to the computer room to check the status on that search before going to figure out who got him::
<Hans_Lynx> <Clerk> Er… yessir! ::takes the money and serves the girls:: <Tansy> I want strawberry in a chocolate sugar cone! <clerk>::forks over the desserts. no one believes his stories of this so… just takes advantage of the extra cash XD::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony>::returns to her Sedan. waits on McGrath:: Fifteen minutes my tail end…
<McGrath> <DMV Database> :: has provided an address, but that’s not the only thing on the screen :: <Pop Up> :: shows the evidence locker door is ajar XD ::
<Hans_Lynx> ::hefted and carted!::
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony>::answers phone:: Yeah?
<McGrath> “I have it. I took a different exit. I’ll meet you back at your place.” :: hangs up ::
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana>::giggles and will take hers!:: You are staying to eat icecream with us, yes?
<Hans_Lynx> <Felony> … hokay. ::hangs up her phone. pockets it and drives off from there, heading back::
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> Yes please stay! ::slurping hers up happily::
<Joseph_Forge> ::eyes wide:: no….::gets up and runs to thebasement, flying down the stairs almost to the evidence room and looks to see if the device is still there::
<McGrath> <Evidence Locker> :: teh device issa gone ::
<Joseph_Forge> Crud!! ::looks aorund for any trace of who took it and how they got in::
<McGrath> I suppose I could spare some time. :: takes a seat at a table ::
<McGrath> <Video Cameras> :: were rolling the whole time ::
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> Yey! ::giggles, sits across from McGrath so Assana can sit next to him lol knows she’s missed him lots::
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana> Yay! ::will go over to plop down beside him! lol!:: Where have you been? We missed you!
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana> ::yes! I emo’d over my soaps! Is convinced McGrath is the tall, dark, handsome, mysterious guy of her dreams! You know you are McG!::
<Joseph_Forge> ::notes the vids. had forgotten about them. will head upstairs to the compy lab again and goes to check the tapes!::
<McGrath> I’ve had things to do. Moved to a different place. You two should probably stay there with me. The MBI might not be safe for you two for a little while.
<Hans_Lynx> ((::dies!::))
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana> Really?! We can come with you this time?
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> Really? ::smiles:: We tried to stay with Almost as Great One, but her mother and friend aren’t supposed to know about us so… we let them be to prevent an oopsie.
<McGrath> <Tapes> :: reveal a very familiar individual sneaking in through the back, and taking Hans out with precision, then making his way downstairs. From the video records, looks like he had some help too XD ::
<Joseph_Forge> ((<McGrath>::enjoys running around town, shacking up in old hotels, throwing around money like a pimp, and moving his harem with him::))
<Joseph_Forge> ::mrrrs:: McGrath….what were you thinking this time? And the pixies? I’ll have to have a talk with them later..
<Hans_Lynx> ((<Tansy and Assana>::after a few days, the old thug hotel is blooming with flowers and fountains, the thugs there play games merrily to appease the two tiny terrors as well as to get them to grow ‘em fresh nip in their rooms::))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))
<McGrath> She has her own problems to deal with right now. :: stands up :: . And I’ve got my own. You want to see the place?
<Hans_Lynx> ((::dead!::))
<McGrath> ((::dies::))
<Joseph_Forge> <Assana> Yes! ::slurping up last of her ice cream and will get up and go with! clings to his arm again! Lol!::
<Hans_Lynx> <Tansy> Of course of course! ::shoves last bit of cone in her mouth ‘n chews. takes his other arm by the elbow::
<McGrath> :: exits with the two of them, giving the clerk a look on his way out :: This didn’t happen, understand?
<Hans_Lynx> <Clerk> What didn’t happen. ::grins::
<McGrath> :: exits ::
<McGrath> ((Aaaaand, it’s late XD ))
