I watch over my young charges. I'm angry that N'Ming is here. I didn't think of a biological attack. I was fully aware that she was a scientist like N'Yo but the idea that she had already created a weapon had not occurred to me.

That is a mistake that will never happen again.

I have yet to contact Mrs. Daichapanya about the situation. I'm not looking forward to this conversation. She is fiercely protective of her children. On the bright side I will get to hurt someone over the next few days.

I make eye contact with Diana and she understands that she needs to stay with the boys until Amanda comes to relieve her. All of the girls will rotate shifts with the boys which will annoy them. I know they all want to "help" with the situation but watching the boys is just as important.

Right now I'm trying to hold back my anger. Too out of control and I could kill her too early. No, I must reign in my emotions and keep her alive until we know what will happen to our Ming.

That doesn't mean that she'll just sit in a cell and wait things out, no she will be going through the four stages of grief: Amanda, Annabelle, Diana, and Kati. Although Kati enjoys watching more than doing. I'm really going to have to rethink her position.

If she wasn't so damn good at her job.

Me? I don't do the torture, damn that's not what we call it now. What does Kati call it again? Investigating? I think that's what she says. Whatever, when she gets to me it's the end. That's why I get paid the big bucks. It doesn't hurt that I really like my job.

I exit the hospital and get into the car that's waiting for me.

"Is everything ready?" I ask Annabelle.

"Yes. Amanda is waiting for your permission to begin." She informs me.

"Tell her to put it on ice, we'll be there shortly then she can start." I command and she relays my message.

One might think that we wouldn't be brazen enough to do something like this in the city, well they would be wrong. I just don't dispose of the bodies in the city.

We pull into the underground parking lot of our office space. We go to the elevator and head down. There are four floors below the building that we use for our investigating? I'm really going to have to ask her what she calls it again.

We walk in to see Kati and Amanda playing cards. I look around the room and there's no prisoner. No hostage. No that's not right either. Dammit!

"Kati, what do you call the girl again?" I ask.

"Our guest of course. Just someone we've invited round to have a chat. That's all." She answers with a smile.

That's right. That's the load of crap she calls it.

"Anyway. I see no guest." I add even though I shouldn't have to.

"You said to put her on ice so she's in the freezer Bee!" Amanda says.

"I didn't mean to put her on ice! I meant to wait. Seriously I can't leave you guys alone for a minute." I mumble as I walk to the freezer.

"Well I guess you should have made sure I understood then shouldn't you have?!" She yells across the room.

I manage to move out of the way of the flying shoe that she's hurled at me. I hold up one finger, the one located in the middle of my hand which of course gets the second shoe thrown at me. But I'm not the boss for nothing. I easily slide out of the way and into the shoe that Kati threw. How do I know it was hers, well she's the one cackling on the floor right now.
