Grayson:The Ronin Protocol

Chapter 25:Snowball

At Toriyama General 3 hours later In a large hospital room, Jason sits passed out in a chair. Across from Tommy restrained by Gro-straps still in his monster form. He gets tapped on the head by someone as he jumps to his feet throwing a Left hook at Rose. She skillfully blocks His punch and rapidly stabs him in the left arm with her fingers. Making his arm go limp at his side, Jason shockingly stares at his arm then at Rose, and assuredly says Seriously Gam Gam I can't feel my arm specifically the left one What the hell?!. Rose slaps him in his face and says Watch your mouth boy! While you were trying to be flashy with your move, I went for the jugular the pressure points in your body.

Now sit down and tell me what happened in Washington Square as she sits in the chair next to him. Jason said I could tell you but you killed my arm I need this arm for... things, Rose taps his left arm 3 times reawakening his arm. Rose says you're disgusting, Kar tell me what happened please as she stares at Jason with Patience and sadness in her eyes, he gulps as he says me and Tommy were in my dorm room before it happened, we were hanging out together, he asked me if I wanted to go to a rally in the square with him. As he sniffles and holds back tears as he stares at Rose with sadness in his eyes, He says Me and Tommy were hanging out in my dorm room. And he asked me to go to a Rally so I went, I figured it'd been a while since he and I saw each other. And then,

Jim enters the room interrupting Jason as he says A crazy cult called The Scarlet Knights detonated some kind of contagion into the crowd. It mutated 90% of the people there except Jason and a handful of others. Jason here helped me rein Tommy in when he mutated, I just talked to the nurses they say his body is in a comatose state he's stuck like that until. Jason said his DNA kicks the unknown mutation out or he might never wake up again that sums it up, Jim. He stares at Jim with anger and frustration in his eyes and on his face, Jim said Yes Jason that sums it up What did you say to Pope? He's not talking to any of us. He stares at Jason with Intrigue on his face and in his eyes, Jason says you were there I didn't say anything problematic. Jim said Just be glad I'm still not booking you for Assaulting The guy disturbed or not You can't just punch all of your problems away. Us Cops exist for a reason like it or not,

Jason sits silently then taps his watch Instantly vanishing. Jim heavily sighs and stares at Rose in frustration, Rose said Teenagers what're you gonna do? Detective have you found Silas yet??, Jim runs his fingers through his hair as he sits down in a chair across from Rose. He said No he's still MIA We've checked his bank accounts, port logs, and credit card statements we've nothing He's still in the country that much we know for sure. We can't find him I'm sorry Mrs.Kokomo, Rose said It's alright son He'll turn up in time slugs like him can't hide forever. Detective What are your thoughts on the vigilante called The Red Wolf?? She stares at Jim with curiosity in her eyes and plastered on her face, Jim said He's a vigilante who takes the law into his own hands he's killed and crippled 189 people. Yes, they're criminals most of them if not all of them were the worst of the worst humanity has to offer. But that doesn't give him nor anyone else the right to hunt them down like damn animals I've spoken with him a few times. I've been hunting him for the last 60 days I know that sometimes the system doesn't work the way people think it should, but it works it's in place for a reason so far he's been quiet but If I see him again I'll unmask him and arrest him whoever he is. Where's your husband Mrs.Kokomo? Rose said he had to work late he'll be here in a bit but Mike is here watching over us.

1 hour later At his grandparent's house, Jay sits on the edge of his bed staring at the stor cube containing his Mk1 Red wolf suit. Victoria sits beside him, She said I know you're hurting Jay you said you wanted to leave the monster behind. The beast, Your Darkness whatever the hell you wanna name it, You chose to leave it behind and bury it I commend your choice. Jason said I thought I could bury it and have a normal life maybe I still can If I put that suit back on I know exactly what's gonna happen V as he stares at her with hopelessness in his eyes. Victoria said Sometimes the only way to get to the other side of hell is to go through it, You know that better than anyone, Tommy is like my brother too since you programmed me to be just like a human emotions and all. You do whatever you have to do I'll be right there with you anything you need let me know Yeah?, She stares at Jay with sincerity and love in her eyes.

As she touches his face before dissipating, He says Find out where Pope is located as he stretches out his right hand towards his Stor cube making it fly into his hand. 30 minutes later back at Toriyama General, In room #1105 Shane Pope lies in his hospital bed viewing A cooking show on the TV drone hovering over his wall. He assuredly said So 1/2 a block of Swiss for an extra cheesy omelet I can't wait to test out this recipe, His room window remotely opens, He slowly sits up and weirdly says What The Fuck? as he stares out into the dimly lit city streets. He gets hit in the face by an invisible force sending him flying out of bed and smacking into a wall. He slowly rises to his feet only to get lifted into the air and violently thrown into his room's AC unit breaking it. Jason appears standing in front of Shane as he grabs him by the neck of his gown, slamming him up against the ledge of his room window, Jay distortedly said I want to know how to fix those people you hurt earlier in Washington Square you Can talk or I can make you talk the choice is yours.

Shane assuredly said I thought you were a Myth, yet all the boys in Ryker's talk about you. Guess I've finally hit the big leagues now if I'm on the big bad wolf's radar. I've heard about the things you do to people like me. Jason distortedly said You've always been on my radar Pope but you pulling the stunt you pulled earlier expedited the Ass beating you had coming for you. Shane assuredly said all you hero types are the same, either Brooding vengeance or Naive Optimistic Boy Scout. Never a mixture between the two, The number one rule in this game Wolfie is never name names like that Seinfeld episode. So seeing as how I like my limbs right where they currently are you want information. SO since you're clearly new to all this I'll give you a freebie this once. I got the mutagenic gas from Spring do with that what you will, Are we done here?? I was watching the great Zambian bake-off before you rudely interrupted me with your bullshit. Jason assuredly said Yes as he head butts Shane in his face breaking his nose as he falls to the floor yelling in pain. Shane screams in pain he shouts YOU MOTHERFUCKER, MY NOSE YOU BROKE MY FUCKIN' NOSE POLICE HELP!!!!,

As Cops kick in Popes door, Jim yells at Jason he yells DONT FUCKIN' MOVE WOLF!, Jason kicks Pope in the face knocking him out cold as Jim shoots him in the chest 4 time before as Jay leaps out pope's room window. Jim stares out the window not seeing The Red Wolf anywhere on the streets below he yells DAMN IT!! FIND HIM NOW.
