"T-the only thing he told me was that he needed the I.D. and he was headed to get a new passport, going up to Canada or something, I don't know. He seemed really shady and dangerous." The panther says quickly, I stand up and close my hand, he lets out a big sigh of relief and I tap my wrist, a display showing up a screen in front of me.

"Louise I need an escort at the next train stop for a Marcus Deltree. Over and out." I say before I hear watered-down screams, I look at the door window and see people running past, I opened the door and step out, people passing me quickly as I look ahead, smoke having completely filled the back carriage, I place my mask on my face and it clicks in place, my screen lets out a green hue before the smoke looks like it's dissipated to me.

Four large figures stand at the end of the carriage, walking close with rifles, modern assault rifles, G36's fitted with basic sights, suppressors and lasers, which I watch sweep around, I walk down the walkway and find a small switch, I take my hand and pull it back, before slamming it into the switch, causing the train to shut down, slowing to a stop with an alarm blaring behind me, the lights shut down as well.

I tap the side of my mask, and my screen lights up, the cameras on the front flipping into a different form, the whole place looking as if the lights were on, I shoot forward, staying close to the ground before slamming my arm into the throat of one of the large figures, his gun dropping with a loud bang, I hoist him up and throw him into a train door, sending him through, another figure shows up, pulling up his gun quickly, he barked out as I grab his gun and pull him forward, clotheslining him quickly, I flick out my left wrist and compartment opens, a long wire coiled inside, I twist something before closing the compartment, aiming forward to the third figure, I squeeze my hand and four prongs shoot out, one hooking into his leg, two more into his chest, and the last hit him in the arm, electricity surges into him, his body sizzling lightly as he drops to the ground.

I noticed the fourth figure having retreated, I run to the back room and look around, I sigh and then hear small beeps, I dig through the suitcases and baggage before locating a small box, with wires hooked into the train, most likely the power intake. I growl and tap the screen on my right arm.

"Louise, it's Michael again, we had company and there's a bomb on the train," I say and I hear static before Louise answers.

"Shit...umm...alright, patch me into your video feed." She says and I tap the screen before plugging it into my mask, and Louise's face appears in the corner of my HUD, she looks at her own screen before sighing.

"Alright, the green wire your gonna have to overload, and then once that's done, begin yanking out every other wire, got it?" She says and I nod, hooking one of the prongs to a small green wire leading from the C4 sticks to the train, I squeeze my hands and see it spark, then pull on the red, blue, white, and yellow wires, yanking them all out, the bomb takes one last tick before stopping, and soon police run-in, extracting the bomb. I walk off the train and am met with a large black SUV on the road a few feet ahead of me. I walk up to it and get in the passenger's seat, pulling off the mask, I turn to look at the driver.

"Ross? Don't you have a kid to tend to?" I ask and he nods.

"Yea, so let's get back to USSIDA. I'm tired of sitting here for you." He grumbles, taking off back towards headquarters, I look out the window and dig into my pocket for my phone, I notice three different text messages and open them up, my face growing cold and deadpan, which seems to take Ross's interest.

"Ross. On the way, we'll be passing a yellow farmhouse, with a large tractor and red barn outside. I want you to stop outside of that house for me, I have something I need to take care of." I say and Ross looks at me quizzically.

"Michael, we don't have ti-"

"Just do it dammit!" I yell and Ross floors it, surprised and almost frightened, I pant and put the mask back one, my anger peaked and ready to blow.

---------------

I get out of the SUV and march up the stairs to the house, I knock on the door and get no answer, I knock again, louder this time, growling as my fur stands on end under my coat, I step back and bring up me leg, taking the door out with a might kick, I look down and I step back, blood staining the white kitchen tile, I run in, looking around the dimly lit house, lamps and the kitchen table were strewn about or broken, the T.V. laying flat on the floor, and I heard yelling upstairs. I creep slowly up the stairs, unholstering my gun, I hold it with both hands and turn the corner at the top, the yelling easily loud, and distinct. Chelsey's boyfriend.

"God you are such a bitch! I can't believe I even thought of dating you, much less having a kid with you! And shut him up you dirty...SHUT UP!" I hear him yell, and a rather audible slap is heard, along with the sound of a child crying. I walk down the hall towards the back room and look in the open door, to the see Chelsey's boyfriend, a tall, and easily muscular Lion standing above her and she held Xander close, protecting him with her beaten and practically war-torn body.

I shove the door open quickly and he whips around, but the only thing that leaves the room is a loud bang, and the Lion falls to the ground, Ross runs into the room and I look down at Chesley, who now brandished a small revolver. The one she always kept under the bed. I drop down and then pick Chelsey up slowly, helping her to the SUV."It'll be okay."

 I whisper, and she whimpers in my arms, Xander keeping close to her, I set her down in the back of the SUV before sitting in the passenger seat. I turn to Ross and he looks at me."We will not speak of this, whatsoever..." I say, and he nods quickly.
