Grayson:The Ronin Protocol

Chapter 14:Solitude

In the present Jason gets awoken by A baseball hitting him in his chest. He yells Ow! What the fuck?, He stare's at his grandfather Ephraim Starr: A tall muscular Bearded Middle aged African American Man w/ long silky black hair, dark brown eyes and cocoa skin standing in his doorway. Ephraim assuredly said welcome back to the land of the living Kar you've been greatly missed, Jason tiredly said missed you too gramps what time is it??. Ephraim assuredly said it's 4:45 am Let's have a chat meet me on the porch at 05:00 No excuses.

Oh and don't forget the baseball as he leaves the room, Jason loudly yawn's and groans in frustration. 4 minutes later Jason wears black thermal pants, a white thermal T-shirt and Black Air Force ones As he stares at himself in the mirror his mind says. I wonder what Gramps wants to talk about he's normally not up this early unless it's really important, Then again he was a soldier in the Hazor-Tyko Wars of 36' to 41' guess being up early is still part of his routine now.

He backflips out of his room window scaling the roof in 13 seconds as he does a sideways flip off the roof landing in the front yard. Ephraim approvingly clap's his hands, he assuredly said I see you still have the moves And you're early with 10 minutes to spare Let's chat. Ephraim And Jason stand on the front porch leaning against a polished metal bannister. Ephraim sincerely said We missed you so much Jay When we found Tommy All those months back, he told us this crazy story about A demon with red eyes. I still don't know if I believe that shit but I'm glad y'all are both okay. We prayed every single day for news of your whereabouts any news good,bad it didn't fuckin matter. I'm glad God answered our prayers cause I was starting to lose hope A lots changed since you've been gone. The corporation's are doing everything they can to seize any bit of Tech from S.I Specially since Your Mom & Dad are gone, You know I'm not the touchy-feely type But I missed you so fuckin much I'm glad you're home. Now let's go to church!!.

1 hour later On the lower east side, At Central Park A massive park full of Cherry blossom trees, Convenience carts: Medium sized boat shaped ships housing hot & cold foods, Medicine, Alcohol and Other items. Gym's and Running Tracks throughout the park. Jason plays catch with his grandfather, Ephraim curiously said How're you holding up? Being back from a bad situation It changes a man for better or worse. I know what it's like to battle with your demons, If you ever need to talk I'm here for you Kar. Jason strongly throw's the baseball at His grandfather hitting him in his chest, Jay assuredly said Thanks gramps I'm still not used to them not being here. They were my anchor, Where's Tommy? I haven't seen him since I got home. Ephraim assuredly said he's at a friends house said he's not coming back till you go by the Old house. Jason curiously said why Isn't he happy that I'm home? I thought he would be. Ephraim said he's still grieving like you he mentioned something about you needing to swing by the old house because all the answers to your question's shall be revealed there. He's changed a lot since you've been gone gotten really Zen, it's the fuckin creepy kind of zen 'case you were wonderin' maybe he'll listen to you. You want a ride home Kar? Me and your grandma are worried about him, Jay assuredly said I'll talk to him asap nah gramps I'm okay, I'm gonna go for a walk please be safe I love you. As he gives his grandfather a fist bump, Ephraim hugs him tightly before letting him go he said I love you too Kar be safe.

2 hours later at A closedown Starr Industries Construction site in Queen's. Jason walk's through an empty work area seeing no one around for a few blocks as he walks up to a black cargo container placing his right hand on its center panel. His hand and eyes gets scanned by a sky blue beam causing the cargo containers doors to remotely slide open, Jay assuredly said it's good to be home as he enter's the container watching the doors quickly seal themselves shut. He rides a elevator pad underground to see a large command center consisting of a large metal super computer sitting in the center of the room, A metal workbench, A wooden Wing Chun dummy,A large armory tube And A Computer desk consisting of 3 interconnected comps. Jay assuredly said I love my batcave Honey I'm home!!!, A female computer's Irish voice said And you're just now stopping by Asshole. Victoria: A pretty Short young Caucasian woman w/ Long Fire orange hair, freckles and neon green eyes instantly appears standing in front of him. She said you've been home for 48 hours what took you so long Jason?, She stares at Him with curiosity on her face, Jason assuredly said Had to check on my family We were overdue for some reconnecting time.

Were you worried about me V?, as he laughs. Victoria said Don't kid yourself, I know you were with your family I was just fucking with you. I meant to tell you Harold Wells sent you an email 2 days ago he said he has to talk to you it's urgent, you'd know that if your S-beads weren't on DND. Jason assuredly said like I said I was with family,The Harold Wells, CEO of Harbinger Labs What'd the email say??, Victoria said he said he'd tell you as soon as you show up He said it's not to be discussed over the holo. Jason said I knew I shouldn't have installed that Human emotion program when I was first building you. Send Dr.Wells a message telling him that I'll see him in 2 hours do we've anything new?, Victoria assuredly said I just emailed him. While you were M.I.A I gathered intel on the most dangerous and degenerate criminals this city has to offer. I sorted them into file's from bat shit crazy to tamed, Jason assuredly said Well you do know how much I love a challenge Thanks V. How many files do we got? Put them up on the main comp screen, 4 holograms get displayed in front of Jason, File #1: John Novichek A short bearded Jamaican Man w/Long Black dreadlocks, dark black eyes and dark chocolate skin. File #2: Lana Haka A gorkenian woman w/ lime green skin, Violet purple eyes, A deep scar on the left side of her face. File #3 Shane Pope: A short Middle-Aged Babyfaced Hexian Man w/ Neon Orange skin, Creamy green hair, Crimson red eyes.

File #4 Shira Whitaker: A Tall muscular Middle-Aged Gasonian Woman w/ Curly black & blue hair, copper skin and sky blue eyes.Victoria assuredly said Novichek is wanted for Murdering & Dismembering 9 little girl's, Haka is wanted for blowing up and robbing the First national bank in Flushing. Killing everyone inside 135 dead, Pope is wanted for Raping 6 little boy's & feeding their remains to his dog's. Jason assuredly said I'll make those sick fucks pay make sure they can never hurt anyone else ever again. What about the other one Whitaker?, Victoria assuredly said if you think the other 3 need to be sent to God quicker than an entire building full of aborted baby's wait till you hear about the other one Whitaker is wanted for Cannibalism and Murdering 60 boys, girls and dog's. She is also wanted for International Terrorism & Rape she probably has the highest Kill count out of all of the notorious 4. She destroyed 5 Countries via Nukes she planted at Landmarks 20.459,920 people vaporized instantly then she raped whoever lived in the cities a few towns over, The police can't find any of them it's like they all said we're gonna take a fuckin' vacation simultaneously.

It's like they just vanished off the face of the earth. Want me to do the usual? She stare's at Jay with curiosity on her face, Jason assuredly said Yeah Have Diana & Selena running Facial Recognition at every Airport,Tube stations, Bus Station and Ferry Terminals . Victoria assuredly said Already done & I'll send you anything as soon as I get it I was worried about you Boss, I thought I lost my best friend in the entire universe. I looked for you everywhere I could Where were you??, Jason assuredly said it's a long story Vicky, I'll tell you about it one day I missed you too Luv I'll see you soon I gotta go see A Doctor about a Well. His mind says See the Redhead? That's Victoria she's my best friend,My Council and A pain in my Ass all rolled into one. This place is my Batcave cause let's be honest here what kind of kid has never wanted a Batcave once they've become a vigilante.
