Life's Second Chance

We Meet Again!

"Miss Davidson?" called a nurse.

Vinnie had fallen asleep on Modo's shoulders, and jolted awake when his head dropped the second his friend stood up. "Huh..?" Charley thus awoke with a start, her head bouncing with Vinnie's sudden jolt.

 Modo was the first to react and walked up to the woman who hadn't seemed intimidated as most people did, "She's sleeping,-" Modo was cut off when Throttle interrupted, "Is she all right?"

The nurse ignored Throttle's question and walked up to Charley with much familiarity holding a clipboard "We have a few forms we'd like you to fill out. "Hearing this Charley sighed and nodded, "All right."

Vinnie put on a frown as he spied a few well dressed men in black tie-formal uniforms speak to the lady at the desk. Elbowing Modo he spoke quietly-his tone heavy with suspicion as his eyes narrowed like daggers. "Hey bro, what do you make of that?"

"Mmm?" Modo looked down at his bro before looking in the direction of the Dark-Coats and frowned. "Looks like trouble." The sound of lady-voices caught his attention a moment after Vinnie's question and turned to look over at Charley with Throttle in tow.

" Are you sure about this?" came the nurse's quizzical retort.

"OF course I AM, I practically grew up with her, she's twenty-three!" Charley's frustrated voice seemed to catch the attention of the men in black.

"But her I.D. says she's eighteen," argued the nurse.

"That will be enough Miss. Harrison," came the tones of a tall, handsome dark skinned man with a crew-cut. "We'll take it from here."

Charley was quite relieved to see a familiar face within these hollowed out bleached halls that seemed to always bring about a wave of depression. "Mr-" she was cut when a younger man with similar features side stepped her and asked, "-where is she?" 

The poor nurse was now overwhelmed with all the questions. It was practically her first day on the job and wasn't expecting such a situation to arise. Rubbing her temples, the nurse was forced to attention as the young Miss. Davidson once again raised her tones, "EXCUSE ME!"

Throttle was taken a back and jumped at Charley's high pitch, not really expecting the female to snap. This outburst automatically brought Vinnie and Modo to her side as well.

On the verge of insanity the young nurse was glad to hear the voice of the elderly doctor, " Thank you Miss. Harrison."

Agent Jay and his son Agent J couldn't help but raise a quizzical eyebrow at the sight of the Director of the M.I.B. who was now dressed in a long white coat, matching pants, and a stethoscope.

 J had to be elbowed in the ribs to stop his light laugh that erupted at the sight. "Oh don't mind him," Jay reassured the group who turned to the source of the queer laughter, "He's just got a bad case of the giggles." The younger Agent couldn't help but break out into a fit, "See? What I tell you? He's practically insane!" Jay sarcastically declared as he whipped round to glare his son down for a moment before he turned to Charlie. "He can't help himself when he's around beautiful women." This statement hushed the cackling younger agent, as well as forced a light tint of rose to creep upon Charlene's features making Vinnie grit his teeth and curl his fists at his side. "No human's gonna talk to my girl like that."

"Easy Vincent," Throttle hissed, for he'd definitely recognized the younger agent, Agent J from the mission on Mars.

"What gives?" Vinnie spat back as he whipped round, only to meet Modo's glowing red eye.

"I really don't like this.." came Modo's mono toned lyrics, his fists curled at his sides.

Charley just rubbed the side of her left temple, really frustrated now. It had been years since she'd actually met Ray's grandfather, their family friend and his son. "Please right this way," came the kind words of the good Doctor.
