Grayson:The Ronin Protocol

Chapter 18:Barred Fangs

At The Wolf Den 1 hour Later Jason sits at his command center. He curiously said You said you broke The encryption on Drew's file's what was he working on? As he stares at Victoria with intrigue on his face., Victoria appears standing beside him. She said I've blueprint's for the particle emitter ,4 unfinished projects he was working on just for Fun. Project #1 was A Water generator that creates water from air molecules, Project #2 Was An old Delta 4 bodysuit you guy's used on Hava-7. According to these notes he was planning on donating it to the NYPD once he finished coating it in Synesium. His 3rd project was A vid addressed to you Do you want me to play it?, She looks at Jay with Sadness and curiosity. I've watched it it's really sad like There was enough room for Jack to fit on the door with Rose sad.

Jason assuredly said play it please, V vanishes as A hologram of Drew appears standing in the center of the room. Drew assuredly said Hey Speedy it's Me I don't know where to start, He sighs and says I guess I should say I'm sorry for how I treated you growing up it wasn't right nor was it fair to you. Truth be told I was a little jealous of you When you first came into our lives you were the Golden Child, Mom & Dad loved you. Tommy & Mikey loved you right away without question, You were so much smarter than me I felt like you were taking my family away from me. What changed my mind forever Was when You, Me and Dad were trapped in that cave on Hava-7. Our Delta 4's were running low on power And our oxygen levels were plummeting. We were arguing about the stupidest shit and I fired a few Quasar bolts at you and you dodged them, those bolts hit a wall and caused a cave in.

Drew assuredly said Those giant rocks landed on Dad trapping him with no way out. I couldn't get him out from underneath the rubble, Not to mention the entire cave was collapsing around us. I almost got crushed but you saved me, then right as my suit loss all Fuckin' power. You used A fuel cell from one of your gauntlets, supercharged it with your thrusters and used it like a grenade to free Dad then grabbed me & dad and flew us out the cave like you were fuckin' Superman. From that day on I stopped seeing you as my enemy and started seeing you as my little brother. I've a lot of work to do but in a few weeks I'm gonna need your help with a project. And maybe you can even meet Charlie she's amazing man you'd really like her,Anyway I gotta go, I love you Barry. He vanishes, Tears stream down Jay's face He sincerely said I love you too Joey, his S-beads rapidly beep as Vicky says Your grandparents are calling Want me to patch them through?. Jay assuredly said nah I'll be there in a few minutes keep me posted if Macaroni gets even remotely close as he teleport's out of the wolf den.

2 minutes later Jason enter's his grandparents house holding a small bouquet of Orchard's, To see Detective Macaroni sitting on the couch sipping coffee, typing in his notepad. James said Hello again Jason I've been waiting for your arrival. Rose assuredly said Kar you remember Detective Macaroni he was in the neighborhood and stopped by to have a chat. Jason sees His grandfather drinking bourbon and eating grapes He assuredly said Yeah I remember Detective Macaroni. Grandma I bought you some flowers from Hinkley's I know how much you loved them. I just want to... Rose said I know Kar we'll talk about it later thank you for the flowers, she grabs the Orchard's from Jay's hands and sets them on the coffee table via telekinesis. Jason curiously said your welcome grandma So detective what brings you by our humble abode?. As he watches Jim intently, James said I stopped by to update your family on the progress of your parents case. I've been speaking with the Starr Industries aerospace division reviewing the last captains log and I want you all to listen to this.

As he plays an audio message from his S-beads, Pylo's voice says Control, Control do you copy? Mayday I'm losing altitude fast, can anyone hear me?!!! Our engines are non respon... Silas's voice assuredly says have a nice flight as he laughs. Ephraim curiously said Why're we just now hearing this Detective?, James assuredly said Because Mr.Starr up until 2 days ago I didn't know this audio log even existed the only thing still bugging me is. Jason assuredly said I knew it That Fuckin' Schnook!!! I'm gonna go have a word with Silas the snake. Rose assuredly said I've never trusted him but there has to be a reasonable explanation for this. He's a snake but for him to murder My Son and My daughter in law in cold blood it doesn't fit his style. Jim assuredly said it took our techies 2 hours to get that log as clear as it is now due to all the noise in the background. This just means my intuition was right about Silas and this case there's more to this then I thought. Jason curiously said Where's Silas now? Detective, James assuredly said Even if I knew where he was I wouldn't tell you. With your record and temper. You'd probably kill him, right now he's in the wind he gave the unit I had following him the slip 24 hours ago. Oh and Before I get sidetracked Jason I've some questions for you, Mr & Mrs.Kokomo Can I ask Jason a few questions?. Rose assuredly said Go ahead Help me with Dinner E?, Ephraim said of course Detective keep the questions relevant to My boys case.

he hops out his chair following Rose out of the room into the kitchen, James curiously said 1. Where were you at 8:30 tonight?, 2. Were you coming from a run? as he watches Kar's body language seeing him sit in a chair across from him. Staring at Jason's bodysuit intently, Jason assuredly said I was having dinner at Zink's with Mike he's our family bodyguard. Then I went for a run, stopped by A Hinkley's cart grabbed my grandma's Orchard's and came home. Why're you asking for my whereabouts? As he stares at Jim watching his body language, Jim assuredly said I'm just trying to make sure you're settling in to being back home that's all Jason. Oh yeah I almost forgot I brought your thing's back as he pulls an evidence cube out of his jacket pocket handing it to Jay. Jim assuredly said You're clear your equipment is clean, I've an APB out on Silas Is there anything else you can tell me about that night?? Anything at all.

As he stares at Jay with curiosity on his face, Jay assuredly said Thanks for returning my stuff No I told you everything that I could remember. If you could find my brother Tommy he might know more about it he was first on the scene sort of speak. I got there a couple minutes after he did Detective if you find Silas can you let me know?, James assuredly said you're welcome I know what you're thinking Jason don't even think about it Let Justice take it's course. Don't worry I'll personally arrest him and throw him in a cell myself as he walks towards the front door, He says Justice will be served Jason I'll be in touch when I catch him As he leaves the house. Rose & Ephraim enter the room, Jason sincerely said I'm sorry guy's about earlier I didn't mean what I said. Rose tightly hug's him before slowly letting him go She said I forgive you Kar your grandpa has something he wants to tell you As she clears her throat. Ephraim assuredly said I'm sorry Kar I didn't mean what I said earlier it was uncalled for and wrong I just didn't like how you were talking to your grandma.

Jason assuredly said it's shiv gramps it's water under the bridge We're family after all and nothing will ever change that no matter how many fights we've. I love you guy's, Rose & Ephraim sincerely said We Love You Too Kar We accept your apology. Jason runs upstairs to his room sitting on his bed, Pulling the disc Mike gave him out of his pocket He say's I miss you Mom, Dad. His right thumb touches the hexagonal shape on its center causing a male computer voice to say Biometric data confirmed, Access granted Jason,Riley A hologram of Richard & Nicole appear standing in the middle of the room. Richard assuredly said Hello Kar it's me your Father if you're watching this then it means that we're missing or dead. Your mother and I made this message for you,Drew & Tommy You've come so far in the short time you've been with us. I've watched you grow up to be such a good person, Yes I know you've darkness within you but you also have a bright light within you as well I've seen it so many times. Before you entered our lives I thought that we had everything that we could ever need then you came along and made us all especially Me realize that there's always room for one more star in our galaxy. I know sometimes you still feel like you're still that kid all alone on the streets fighting to survive just one more day. Kar, Don't ever stop being yourself and know that me and your Mother will always have your best interest at heart. You're one of the most amazing Son's a father could ever ask for I see the mighty young man you're becoming and I'm so damn proud of you for surpassing me and your mothers expectations. I can't wait to see the man I know you will become, A man who realizes the unfathomable power he has, Know that whom ever you choose to be Son Good or bad you'll change the world and soar higher than any of us. I love you so much Kar.

Jason sincerely said I love you too Dad, Richard vanishes as Nicole stands where Richard was just standing. Nicole assuredly said My little Robin What can I say that hasn't been said. When you entered my life You were a real blessing in disguise I thought My heart was full of all the motherly love I needed. But then you came into my life and opened my heart wider than its ever been, when I was nursing you back to health and I looked upon you I saw someone. That deserved a loving family and a great life and it was me and your fathers goal to provide you with it, I'm proud of you Bar for overcoming your past trauma and striving to put it behind you. I'm gonna miss you so much when you go off to college after you graduate high school. You're growing up so fast it seems like yesterday you were cooking with me in the kitchen and now you're heading to high school and leaving us. As she stifles her tears She says But no matter how much of an Asshole you'll become because of Puberty, no matter how many times me or your dad have to discipline your ass you'll always be My Beautiful Boy. I love you My little Robin as she vanishes, Tears stream down Jay's face dripping onto his floor. He quickly wipes his face shaking his tears away like a dog shaking its fur, He sincerely said I love you too Mom.
