CHAPTER 1 :




Once again Meg was in trouble. She was always in trouble. Her name should have been Megumi Trouble. At least she knew that at some point Jo would be there. She had been in the dark for what seemed like hours. Abducted by thugs that seemed to want only Jo. Her wrists were chafed by the binding around them, and her clothes had been long since discarded considering the fact that she had been taken in her sleep while undercover on assignment. They must have used chlorophorm before she woke up considering the size of the headache she had when she woke up.

So there she lay, in the dark. With no pride and no clothes. Afraid that Jo may get hurt trying to find her.......

"Amy give me an aerial view."

"Come on Jo give me a minute."

"You're the best Amy it doesn't take you this long."

"It does when I'm tryin not to get caught cracking RAPTS firewall Jo. I can only go so fast. This is delicate work."

"MOVE IT AMY! Meg is out there. She's depending on us to find her. We don't even know why she was taken yet."

"Don't you mean she's depending on you to find her. Me and Sei never get to do anything fun."

"Can it and find her."

"We'll find her Jo just give me a minute. Just a few more seconds and........ there. I got it. Jeez Meg. Well Jo I got crime scene photos. The first one is of the basic aproach into the room. It doesn't look like anything was touched. Well with maybe the exception of Meg. The second is a picture of her personal belongings that were found on scene. Even her clothes and night gown are there. That would so tipicaly be Meg to not wear her jammies and get abducted. And the rest of the pictures........."

"So there wasn't even a struggle. And Meg's still gone without even the clothes on her back?"

"So it appears, but you know as well as I do that if someone took Meg they wouldn't be sloppy about it Jo."

"We don't even know where to look Amy."

"Maybe when Sei gets back she'll have some more info for us to go on. She's on scene trying to figure this thing out. She knew when you got back from that last job that you were gonna be pissed when you found out about this."

"She's right Amy. Megs all I've got. I've got to take care of her no matter what."

"God Jo you make it sound like she's some kind of precious jewel. Does Sei know how you feel about this."

"Lets get this straight Amy. I don't give a damn about anything but Meg. Saving Meg always comes first! Got that!"

"Jeez I got it. In stereo. I wish I had more to tell you, but unfortunately I don't"

"Then I'll find it myself. I have to find Meg."

Jo began her holstering ritual while Amy was still talking.

"Are you sure nothings going on between you two. I mean you share everything, and I even asked Sei but she said Meg's been your partner for a while and she wouldn't say anything else. Hey don't run out on me. HEY JO!" Amy screamed but Jo was already gone.



**********************************************************

Meg was still waiting in the dark. Despair not quite enveloping her. She knew. She knew that she had to fight. No matter what they wouldn't willingly use her to find Jo. She had been paid a visit. The Devil himself, it had to be. A man who called himself Taekiro. She was informed to stay quiet and that no one could hear her. She had foolishly been screaming at the dark at that point trying to figure out what was going on when the beatings had began. She had light for a little while, but at the moment she couldn't open more than one eye.

"Jo's gonna be pissed when she finds me " she had desparately told them. That had been the point where they had seen fit to unceremoniously break her arm. She hadn't said a word since. She had screamed, but she hadn't spoken. She wouldn't even give up what little information she knew about Jo's creation, and that had been something they wanted desparately. They wanted Jo. They wanted her so they could turn her into a lab rat of some sort. They wanted to recreate the disaster that had been the project that created Jo. She wasn't even susposed to be the best specimine those scientist had had. In fact she had only a seven percent chance of making the final cut, but somehow she had surpassed everything that was possible and eventually formed a life to the best of her abilities.

They had records about Jo's entire life. Every mission she had been assigned, and every scrap of gossip that was dared to breath about her. It was all in a file. The only piece they didn't understand was the risks she took to save one forgotten about little redhead. Meg, she had been the key. The Scientists had been certain she was the difference, and they were going to exploit every angle to weed out the weakness for the next generation.

When they came the second time they had brought insruments with them. Meg had been surveyed like a piece of property and it wasn't a pleasent experience. When they left her this time she prayed. She prayed for a quick death if Jo didn't come and she prayed for a slow death for everyone involved in this mess if she did.



**********************************************************


Jo was desparate. She was threatening people all over town and still getting nowhere. She had no leads and two dead ass holes. Jo was beginning to think the dead duo had known something, but it was a little late to ask them now. At the time it had been two less scum bags to worry about.

She put her thoughts on hold to answer a call from Sei and the comm link she always wore.

"Whatchya got Sei. Anything useful?"

"Well Jo it depends."

"Sei I swear if you got something and you don't spit it out. I'm not in the mood for games."

"Touchy today are we. Well, I found out that the scum that stole our package is working for a group of scientists."

"Really Sei, what would a scientist want with Meg?"

"Are you so sure that she was what they want Jo? Maybe they have an ulterior motive."

"Shit! They want me don't they. Just say it Sei. The scientists want me."

"Well, I can see how you would be a prime candidate for thought. So, yes they want you. They left a note on the bathroom wall giving directions for you to follow."

"What did it say, and why did they take her. Is there any clue why they took her?"

"Well, she just happens to be your only weakness. But unfortunately for them she is also your greatest strength. I almost feel sorry for them at the moment."

"Why Sei?"

"Simply because your going to kill them. It's the only alternative, and they just don't know it yet."
