Good Mark called Angie after he was able to take control. They talked a bit then hung up. Angie told Trina and Trina was able to track the call. Joe, Stormcrow, Jason and Ringo went hunting him and found him. Joe acted like they wanted Spinner taken care of so they’d just give him over to the evil Mark. Evil Mark seems to have fallen for it and is gonna meet them at the MBI. Joe told Stormcrow to prepare to get him to Tien to get this taken care of.
<Angela_Daniels> :;so! wassa staying with Trina and Joe! so is there!::
<Angela_Daniels> ((::diiies!::))
<Light_Mark> ::calls her phone. HAHAH!::
<Angela_Daniels> ::wassa watching some TV and relaxing some. blinks at her cell ringing so answers!:: Hello?
<Light_Mark> … Angie…?
<Angela_Daniels> ::blinkies more:: Mark? ::Frowning some. ready for the Dark! mark::
<Light_Mark> It’s me, Lass. The real me… I managed to take over for a few.
<Angela_Daniels> ::sits up now:: M..Mark? ::maww starting to tear up:: Mark..where are you? We’re trying to find you like crazy right now to get rid of this evil Mark.
<Light_Mark> I’m outside near a phone booth. Don’t worry. He’s not gonna come near you. He’s pretty much aware that if anything happens to you, well… it won’t be pretty.
<Angela_Daniels> I’m not worried about that. I’m safe. SOmewhere…::won’t say where so the dark version doesn’t know:: I miss you….I”m sorry. I messed everything up..I….I’m a failure at all this..
<Light_Mark> Stop blaming yourself, Lass. None of this was your fault.
<Angela_Daniels> ::softly:: I know..I know. Mark..just in case he takes over again…I love you. I love you so much. If we can just fix everything..thats all I want right now is to at least send you back where you belong if we can’t figure out how to get you back fully.
<Light_Mark> My biggest concern right now is stopping him. He’s involved in something pretty ugly, Angie, and it goes all the way to the governor.
<Angela_Daniels> What is he planning? ::worried about her mark!::
<Light_Mark> I don’t know right now, but he won’t stop at backstabbing everybody he’s working with. I don’t like this guy, Ange… to think he could be me in a darker universe…
<Angela_Daniels> I know. ::quiet a moment:: Is it safe to see you? I could meet you somewhere.
<Light_Mark> I can’t risk that, Angie… I don’t know when he’ll take over again.
<Light_Mark> And… I don’t want anything to happen to you.
<Angela_Daniels> okay. Then…I’ll talk to you until then. ::just glad for that:: Hopefully the others will have everything ready to take care of this soon.
<Light_Mark> I know. ::long quiet pause, then says:: I love you, Angie. Whatever happens to me, know that I’ll always love you.
<Angela_Daniels> ::mawww starts crying at that:: I love you too….you’re all I think about now. I just want us to be back together again.
<Light_Mark> :softly:: I know. ::then sighs softly:: I better go. I think he’s “waking up” again. I usually get a headache when he does and I’m getting one right now.
<Angela_Daniels> ::Frowning:: O..Okay….I love you. Be careful, love. ::still crying.::
<Light_Mark> I love you, too, Lass. We’ll figure this out, I promise. ::then hangs up::
<Angela_Daniels> ::maww hangs up too! breaking down completely. ::

<Trina_Korat> ::walks downstairs after giving Katie a bath, blinks at her:: Ange…?
<Angela_Daniels> ::looks up and wipes at her eyes:: Oh…h..hey.
<Trina_Korat> You okay?
<Angela_Daniels> yeah..::softly, looking up at her with her eyes still red:: He just called. Our Mark did.
<Trina_Korat> ::frowns:: From where?

<Angela_Daniels> ::Sits and watches her:: What are you doing?
<LadyStormcrow> ((Ooooh))
<Trina_Korat> Tracing that call.
<Angela_Daniels> You can do that? ::didn’t know that!::
<Trina_Korat> Pretty much. ::tracetrace, then frowns:: He’s near a warehouse not too far from the bay. ::picks up her phone and calls the MBI:
<Angela_Daniels> ::nods:: So..what does that mean?
<Trina_Korat> C’mon… pick up…
* LadyStormcrow is now known as Stormcrow_Selkirk
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::was only just getting into the building for work, and as Tansy’s on suspension, there’s no one at the front desk. Hurries to pick up::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Megakat Bureau of Investigation.
<Trina_Korat> Selkirk, it’s Korat.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Oh, hey. What’s going on?
<Trina_Korat> I’ve got a trace on Mark. Better write this down.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> . . . Wait, *what*? ::grabbing for paper and pen from the desk:: Do you mean *our* Mark?
<Angela_Daniels> ::sitting there listening to the conversation. sorta wringing her hands nervously.::
<Trina_Korat> For now. He’s in Sector Seven near the docks. He was using a payphone.

<Trina_Korat> ((Hey Matt!))
<Trina_Korat> Take a team with you.
<Trina_Korat> I don’t want you going alone.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> I plan to, as soon as I find who’s available. I only just got in myself.
<Trina_Korat> Right. Keep me posted, alright?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Will do.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::free ear swivels around as she talks, listening in case anyone else is around that she can bring::
<McGrath> ((heyas))
<Trina_Korat> Thanks. ::hangs up::
<Angela_Daniels> are they going to find him? ::worried look::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::hangs up too, and turns on the intercom:: All available agents, report to the front.
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::happens to be nearby so makes his way there:: What’s going on, Selkirk?
<Trina_Korat> I hope so.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> We’ve found Mark. He’s at the docks, Sector Seven, and we need to hurry.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::when last seen, had Spinner paralyzed, bound, and gagged in the back of her van, and was heading to meet Josie in an hour::

<Jason_Korat> Talk to me.
* Angela_Daniels is now known as Joseph_Forge
<Joseph_Forge> They found Mark. We’re going after him. You available?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::doesn’t dare take the time to get her uniform on, so just grabs a BPV::
<Jason_Korat> To kick his tail? Gladly.
<Joseph_Forge> Whatever. Get to the front desk. We’re leaving now.
<Jason_Korat> On my way.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::hearing that:: Um, not exactly. According to Trina, the good Mark’s managed to come through for the moment.
<Joseph_Forge> Good. ::then nods to Selkirk:: yes but he may be the bad one by the time we get there.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> I know, but I just want you to be aware.
<Joseph_Forge> Thanks. ::waits on Jase to get there::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::fastening her BPV:: How do we want to get there? I could take us, but it might be good to have a vehicle.
<Jason_Korat> ;:arrives;: Joe’s driving.
<Joseph_Forge> We’ll see what Jason wants to do. We probably best take a vehicle. If we get him then four of us would be bit much.
<Joseph_Forge> ::Then nods to Jason as he comes in.:: Alright. ::will pull out his keys and hurries out to his truck::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::follows!::
<Jason_Korat> ::goes with!::
<Joseph_Forge> ::will go get in and starts it up! waiting on the other two to get in::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::gets the paper with what Trina told her:: Okay, we need to go to Sector Seven, near the docks. He used a payphone there.
<Joseph_Forge> Okay. ::will head that way! fast! turning on sirens and alla that::
<McGrath> ((<Jase> :: turns it off :: Our budget is only for three complete siren noises per week. ))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((LOL!))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::Diiiiiies!::))
<Jason_Korat> ((::SOODEAD!::))
<Joseph_Forge> ::Well with the power of the rpg magic will arrive to that area! slowing down and cutting the sirens off as they approach:: Okay. Lets keep our eyes open for him.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::nods, and does so!::
<Jason_Korat> I don’t suppose we could scream “We are here” and get it over with?
<Joseph_Forge> If you think that’d work. :parking somewhere and getting out to look around::
<Jason_Korat> I could put on a tap dance… or maybe moon walk… that could be annoying enough…
<Joseph_Forge> ::starts walking and searching for any sign of mark:: Like I said..if you think it’d work.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Honestly, I have no idea what we should try.
<Jason_Korat> I was kidding. ::dryly::

<Joseph_Forge> ((hey Kutlass!))
<McGrath> ((<Docks PR Representative> Over the years the docks have received an unfair amount of scrutiny and fallen victim to unwarranted stereotyping. 90% of all things you buy come via shipping lanes that rely on docks and their helpful, law-abiding staff to keep things running in this country.))
<Jason_Korat> ((::SOOOODEAD!!!::))
<Joseph_Forge> ::nods:: gotcha. ::will keep going to look around some other areas. looking around the docks themselves::

<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!! <PR Representative> ::giving this whole monologue, as he’s tied to an anchor, slowly being submerged::))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::Diiies!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ::driving, via squadcar, towards the docks. we’ll say he got a radio message while out on patrol::

<Dark_Mark> Don’t you people have anything better to do?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::freezes::
<Joseph_Forge> ::pauses, frowning:: Not really. Where are you? we need to talk.
<Dark_Mark> ((BRBRQ!))
<Shade_Ringo> ::pulls up to the docks, looking around. takes up radio:: This is Ringo. I’m on the South side. Where’s the party?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::tries to whisper into radio:: The docks, Sector Seven. Over.
<Shade_Ringo> ::cocks eyebrow at the whispering, barely catching that locale. figures something’s up. adjusts shades, and slips out of the car, trying not to snag his pants on a loose spring::
<Dark_Mark> :;is sitting on a crate looking down at them:: Talk about what?
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Joe> Your taxes! Now that you’re not dead, you can’t evade them!))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((::dead!::))
<Dark_Mark> ((:dies!::))
<Joseph_Forge> ::perks ears and looks up:: About you and what you are doing.
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Dark_Mark> If you’re trying to get your buddy back, forget it.
<Shade_Ringo> ::pauses, ears flicking. hears voices. slinks over behind some crates::
<Joseph_Forge> Actually..we’ve about given up on that. But what about what you want? Isn’t it Spinner you want?
<Dark_Mark> ;:busts up:: Once I realized what a pathetic, spineless coward Spinner really is, I’ve pretty much given up on it. Sucks to be the other me. Spinner’s the wholer reason he gave up his soul. Kind of stupid now that I think about it.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::letting Joe do the talking, as he’s in charge::
<Joseph_Forge> Ohhhh don’t underestimate Spinner. If he deems you a threat he’ll take you out. I’ll agree that he’s pathetic and spineless. Problem is he’s a coward that knows his way around weaponry and won’t hesitate to take you out from a distance. I mean look at how he killed our Mark. My suggestion is to take him out before he’s a threat. And we know where he’s at.
<Dark_Mark> … ::smirks:: Really now.
* McGrath is now known as Jack_Spinner
<Jack_Spinner> :: glad someone does XD ::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<DarkMark> Fine. Take me to him. <Later…> <Dark Mark> ..Why are we at Chunk-o-Cheeze’s? <Joe> Don’t worry. I’ll do the talking.))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::muahaha!::
<Dark_Mark> ((:DEAD!!::))
<Dark_Mark> So you really want to get rid of the both of us.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::when last seen, had Spinner paralyzed, bound and gagged in the back of her van, and was heading to meet Josie in an hour::
<Joseph_Forge> Yes. ::well he still thinks he’s back at HQ! XD:: And we have a problem with him ourselves, but due to our….status as agents we can’t do anything about it. But if someone were to “break in”…..
<Dark_Mark> ::starts laughing now:: No wonder the other me picked you to be director.
<Joseph_Forge> Yes well….are you interested? Or should my friends and I just cut him loose to come for you next?
<Dark_Mark> Like he’d be able to do anything to me.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Do you want to take that chance?
<Joseph_Forge> ::shrugs:: Suit yourself. Take the chance and see
<Shade_Ringo> ::drawing nearer to the voices. recognizes them now. gets a sight on Mark, sitting up on the crate::
<Dark_Mark> I honestly think you’re running out of options. You’re forgetting that if I kill Spinner, your buddy’s soul gets sent to ROF.
<Joseph_Forge> He sold his soul to be able to kill Spinner. I think we pretty much decided that if thats what he wanted then we can help him finish his task.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Besides, we’ve faced the Realm of Fire before. What makes you think we wouldn’t find a way to get him back afterward?
<Dark_Mark> And, if I kill Spinner, what then? ::smirks;; You trying to strike a deal with me?
<Joseph_Forge> Then you leave us and everyone here alone. You leave town and don’t come back.
<Shade_Ringo> ::waiting, watching::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Joe> Run, Mark. Run far away, and never come back. ::dramatic music build-up:: <Mark> .. Do you know my uncle?))
<Joseph_Forge> ((LOL!))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((::dies::))
<Dark_Mark> (DEAD!!))
<Dark_Mark> Yeaaaaaah… not possible.
<Joseph_Forge> Why not? I don’t understand whats so important for you here. Can’t you go be powerful or whatever elsewhere?
<Shade_Ringo> ::frowns::
<Dark_Mark> :smirks:: I have my own reasons.
<Dark_Mark> But if it’ll make you feel better, I’ll off Spinner. Just because you asked nicely.
<Joseph_Forge> Fine’ WE’ll work out the rest later. Come with us.
<Dark_Mark> How about I meet you there?
<Joseph_Forge> Fine. We’ll meet you there. Give us a few to get there then come over to HQ. And don’t you even think about standing us up. ::Turning to walk back to the truck.::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> :;follows, looking back over her shoulder to keep an eye on Mark::
<Shade_Ringo> ::remains in the shadows behind the crates, watching the other two leave::
<Dark_Mark> ::turns to look over his shoudler, smirks at Ringo:: You could do better than that, Ringo.
<Joseph_Forge> ::heads back to the truck. when away from Mark will whisper to Stormcrow:: is there a way we can keep him captive at the bureau? ::as he picks up his radio. Will radio Jason too while they are talking::
<Dark_Mark> ::as he slowly disappears::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::whispering back:: I don’t know, aside from putting him in a cell. We need to get him to Tien as soon as possible.
<Shade_Ringo> ::clicks off his radio, emerging from behind the crates:: Always had eyes in the back of your head, Sulfur.
<Joseph_Forge> Is she willing to help?
<Dark_Mark> ((And, the mun needs bed. ))
<Joseph_Forge> ((nights Sagey! ::huggles;:))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((Nights!))
<Dark_Mark> ((Night all! ::hugs!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((Have a good’n, Sageroo!))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> She’s not happy about it, and I don’t blame her, but yes.
* @Dark_Mark Quit (Quit: )
<Joseph_Forge> alright. As long as she’ll help seperate them. ::will go get in and will say Jason gets in and heads back to thebureau!::
<Shade_Ringo> ::would love to stay for some friendly banter, but strides back to his vehicular to get back to the Bureau:: We’re serving up Spinner with a side of fries.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ;:goes back to the Bureau with Joe and Jase::
<Joseph_Forge> ::will get there and drops them off:: i’m going to go get ready for him to get here. See what you can figure out to restrain him. somehow I don’t think our cells are gonna keep him with us.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Like I said, we’ll just have to act fast. ::heads toward the cellblock::
<Joseph_Forge> ::nods:: Gotcha. :;heads off to his office for a few ::
