Code 4 - Dude, are you Gay?

"...Understand? You'll be sure to keep an eye on her Gray.

"Yeah I will."

It was the morning after the previous eventful day. After Juvia had returned to bed Gray did not sleep for a long time. He stared into the darkness of his room, thinking. Why Ur? Why did you save me? Doesn't matter now. It was all my fault. He was used to thinking like this. After all every oneblamed him for Ur's death, Lyon especially, so nothing stopped him from believing that. People who knew him kept away from him after that. He was an outcast. Huh, not surprising since everyone who I ever loved ended six feet under. After the funeral of his mentor Gray packed up and left the mountains in which he had lived for the past two years. The eleven year old had no idea where he was heading except for the fact that he wanted to find the FNN. He had hoped that someone from the secret service would know a way to undo Ice Shell and return Ur. But he was let down yet again.

"I'm sorry son but Ice Shell is something that can not be reversed," said a Master after he had arrived at the FNN. "Ur went and activated it with the knowledge that she would be turned to ice but still she did it. It was an act willing done on her part and liked she said it's not your fault"

"But there has to be a way!" he shouted at the short man, desperately holding back the tears. No Ur can't just be stuck in that ice. She has to come back!

"I'm sorry son, I can't help you reversing it will also mean killing her," Gray was shocked. It can't be I came here for nothing.

After a thought the elder man said. "But how about you join the FTA. I have no doubt that you will be a promising agent."

That's how he became the man how was today. These thoughts took the handsome man to sleep but only to be woken up by his teller con resting on his bedside table. Picking up the small device he hooked it on to his right ear so that the mouth piece is next to his mouth and the attached eye piece, above his right eye. Gently tapping on one of the side buttons a hologram screen appeared showing the face of the old man.

"Hey what's up gramps?" Gray asked groggily.

"Sorry that I caught you sleeping but this is considered a matter of urgency," spoke the projection of the master. This caused the drowsy man to be on full alert. "What is it gramps?"

"The girl, Juvia, that I made you look after was chased by the Element 4 of Phantom. do you know what this means Gray?"

"No. And who are the Element 4?"

"The Element 4 are a group of highly skilled assassins. They do the bidding of their master, Jose, willingly and down to the every last detail; however, assassination is not their only speciality. They also skilled with weapons that involves the elements, hence the name Element 4."

"Okay. But why would a bunch of professional killers go after a innocent girl?"

"Yes that is the agenda of this call. The council, has came to the conclusion that either Phantom Lord Incorporation is planning something or this is just a cover up for something bigger."

"Something bigger?"

"Yes but I think it's much better if you came in," the master's voice was serious, matching the stone expression of his face. The man's meaning was clear to the ebony boy man; it's too risky to be spoken through a call.

"I'll come in at nine and should bring Juvia?" Gray offered.

"Yes, please do but let the others look after her. I want this talk to be between just us."
