Il diamante di morte

[Jack]

It is rumoured across the world, that thousands of years ago, an evil sorcerer embedded death into an ordinary diamond. The jewel, named Il diamante di morte, could apparently bring eternal death to anyone who was touched by the gem.

-- 2008 A.D

A whole village in Central Scotland has been wiped of it's inhabitants. The residents seemed to have just dropped dead, with no obvious wounds or diseases that could have caused the deaths. There is only one clue. A black diamond impression on each resident's forehead. A small, elite team has been sent to investigate secretly the village by the government. Can they find out what really happened.

---------

Ok, you may have an idea what caused the deaths, but the characters don't, so make sure you don't post them knowing about anything to do with the diamond.

ok edited my profile.

[Jack]

Ok, I'll get us started. The story starts with all characters unaware of the events in Scotland. This will come into the story shortly.

-----

- 12:00 P.M - Silverstone Racetrack - Northamptonshire

Jak: Damn it! *punches his steering wheel then calls Natalie* Natalie, can you tell them to send a towtruck. I've put the f*cking thing in the gravel... Natalie- Again?

[Nova]

-7:00 AM, Washington DC, CIA Shooting Range-

Private-Can you beat the record of 10 headshots in 10 seconds? Rick-*scoffs* Just watch maggot *pulls out his G36c* Now pull the lever! Private-*pulls lever and multiple shooting targets show up*Rick-Star the clock....now*16 shots ring out in the next 8 seconds*Private-Ho-Holy...Crap! That was amazing sir! Rick-*scoffs again* That was nothing...

[~Felly~]

((Lol, timezones weren't my thing last year in Earth Science, so yeah. I'll leave the time in Japan out, mkay? And Lance comes in later btw.))

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Japan,
Violet: *sitting in a local store, reading Black Cat* Oh, Train-kun. You're so brave and cute~. ???: *walks into the store* Violet-Nii-chan~! We found you! ???: *follows ??? into the store* Yay! Violet-Nii-chan! ^_^;; ???: *follows ??? and ??? into the store* -_- You know you're not supposed to bother Violet while she's working. ???: Oh, Junshin, you're just mad because Violet-Nii-chan doesn't like you as much as she likes us! ???: Yeah, Junshin-san! >_< Junshin: Yeah~. Whatever you say, Sanosuke and Maya. -_- Violet: Oh kids. I love each and every one of you as if you were my own children. *smiles* Junshin: Hmph. >_>

[Jack]

Meanwhile, back at Silverstone...

Jack- *watching the tow truck pull his DB9 out of the gravel* Natalie- *standing next to him* Y'know... That's the 7th time you've done that today... Jack- 6th... Natalie- Same difference. Jack- Ehh, whatever... Natalie- -_-'

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Japan,
Violet: *has been listening to the kids argue for the past five minutes* Alright; I'm not one to get annoyed easily, but if my boss were to come in and see you guys acting like this, I'd be screwed. So um.. if you're going to yell, could you.. take it outside? Junshin: Hmph. Sanosuke: Sorry, Violet-Nii-chan. T_T Maya: Yeah, sorry, Violet-Nii-chan. Violet: *leans back in her chair and loosens her neck tie* So shouldn't you kids be in school? Sanosuke: We get the day off today, Nii-chan. Violet: Oh. I see now. I hadn't noticed. ^_^;; Junshin: Hmph. I'm going to walk around. *leaves the store* Violet: (Oh, Junshin... What in the world is bothering you now?) Be caref-- Oh, never mind.. Maya: Violet-Nii-chan? Violet: Hm? What's wrong, Maya? Maya: When are we going to meet that childhood friend of yours?.. Violet: Hm, you know.. I'm not exactly sure. He says he's too busy in Scotland doing something else to even come and visit me. >_> It doesn't surprise me.. much.

[Jack]

Back at Silverstone, the tow truck has finally got Jack's DB9 out the gravel...

Jack- Time to try and get it round a full lap this time... Natalie- That should be fun to watch... Jack- ... *gets into the car and starts the engine back up* Natalie- I'm coming with you. *gets into the passenger side of the car* Jack- *sighs* Ok then... *pulls off*

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile,
Violet: *sees a customer walk in* Hello! Welcome to our bookstore! ^_^;; Feel free to browse the store and if you have any questions, just ask! Customer: Alrighty. Violet: *whispering to the kids* You guys better go. My boss could come out at any time now. Kids: Right. *leave the store*

[Jack]

Meanwhile, in a small village in Central Scotland...

Police Officer- *kicks a dead corpse gently* There's no visible wounds on these guys... Except for a black diamond mark on the forehead. The mark is exactly the same on every corpse... Police Sergeant- I see... This is strange. Very strange. OK. Stay here and round up the bodies into a pile. I need to inform the Super Intendent. *gets into his police car, starts the engine and pulls away*

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile, in Japan,
Customer: *walks out of the store* The phone starts ringing. Violet: I got it! ^_^;; *answers the phone* Hello? ???: Violet? Is that you? Violet: Um.. yes. May I ask who's calling? Lance: It's me, Lance. Look, I need some place to stay and fast. Can I stay at your place? Violet: Um.. sure, but why-- Lance: I'll explain later. I'm on my way now! *hangs up* Violet: *blinks and sets the phone down* (Lance, just what the hell are you up to now?)

[Jack]

Back in Scotland, at the local Police station...

Sergeant- *has just told the Super Intendent about the diamond marks* Super Intendent- *sighs* This is out of our hands now... This is going much higher than us. I need to make some phonecalls. Sergeant- Um... Ok... *walks out* Super Intendent- *dials a number on his phone* ... ... Hello, Can I speak to the Prime Minister, please?

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile, at a local Scotland airport,
Lance: *is boarding a plane to travel to Japan* (I have a bad feeling about these deaths. And I certainly don't want to get involved.)

Meanwhile, in Japan, at Violet's house,
Violet: *organizing her guest room* ... *sighs* I wonder why Lance-san needed a place to stay so quickly... I hope he tells me when he gets here.

[Nova]

((Jack, Im gonna have your prime minister call the chief of the CIA in a couple more posts after he gets word of it if thats ok with you?))

Meanwhile back in DC
Rick-*cell phone begins to vibrate, he checks the caller ID and sees that its the chief* What the hell does he need now....?*he answers the phone and rudelly says* What now? Chief over phone- Good day to you to asshole....I guess I'll hang up now...Rick-*sarcastically*Haha I was just joking...but really...what do you need?Chief- I have some exciting news on the case and I need you to stop by my office ASAP.*hangs up phone* Rick-goodbye to you too....*hangs up phone and puts it away* (Maybe I can put this entire thing behind me now...)*Puts his G36c back in its holster and leaves towards the office*

[Jack]

((Go for it, Nova))

10 Downing Street, London...

Prime Minister- We need to keep this out of the public eye under all circumstances, understand? Super Intendent- *over phone* Yes, sir. PM- Good. I need to make a few phonecalls of my own now. Goodbye, Super Intendent. Thank you for the information. Super Intendent- Goodbye. *hangs up* Prime Minister- *puts the phone back and sighs deeply, leaning back in his chair with his hands over his face* This is not good... *leans forward again and picks up the phone* *dials a number and waits for the person on the other end to answer, tapping his desk while waiting* ???- *on phone* Hello, How may I help you? PM- Hello, this is the British Prime Minister. May I speak to the President of the United States. It is a matter of global security. ???- Yes, of course, Mr. Prime Minister. I will put you through straight away.

Meanwhile, back at Silverstone...

Jack- *pulls into his designated garage on the pit lane* Natalie- *glued to her seat, pale and terrified* Jack- *stops the car in the garage and looks at Natalie* Are... you Ok?

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile, back in Japan,
Violet: *hears someone knocking on her door* Coming! *runs over to the door and opens it* Lance: Heya. Violet: Lance-san! *hugs Lance* Lance: Hey, hey, I didn't come here to be smothered with love. I came to get a place to stay. Some serious stuff has happened in Scotland and I didn't wanna get involved. *pushes Violet off of him & walks in, dragging his suitcase in with him* Violet: You said you'd tell me about it... Lance: I can only tell you some things... Not everything. Violet: Okay... *closes the door*

[Jack]

Meanwhile...

Natalie- I... I never knew it was possible to go that fast through corners... I thought you'd kill us... Jack- I wouldn't be that stupid. *gets out of the car* Natalie- *slowly gets out the car*

[Nova]

Rick-*finally reaches the Chief's office and knocks on the door*Chief-Come in. Rick-*walks in and sits on the nearest chair and slouches.* So what is the news? Chief- A member of the Bravo team stepped up and confessed to the arranging and taking part of the massacre with mercenaries that were unknown to us...Rick....you're free now. Rick-(I've been waiting for this and it has finally happened)...but does the Public know? Chief- Not yet...there will be a press conference at 1100 tomorrow.Secretary beeps over phone-Sir you have a phone call. Chief- I'm busy right n-Secretary-It's the president...and it's important. He's on Line 2. Chief-Hold on a bit Rick lemme see what's up *presses a button for Line 2 and picks up the phone* Yes...Mr. President...what can I do for you?

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile,
Violet: ...So.. that's why you came here? Lance: Mhm. I'd travel back to America, but that would involve seeing the president again. That's the LAST thing I'd wanna do. So I thought I'd be better off staying with a friend. Violet: Oh... Lance: So yeah. I'm hungry. ^_^;; Whaddya have to eat? Violet: I had a feeling you'd say that. *anime sweatdrop*

[Jack]

Jack- *slowly wakes up, blinking because of the sunlight coming through the windows* Natalie- *still asleep, with her body pushed up to Jack's, and her arms wrapped around Jack's torso* Jack- *notices and smiles gently, then breaks away from Natalie, gets out the bed, and stands up* Natalie- *wakes up as Jack breaks away* Jack- *notices* Morning sleepy head. Natalie- *smiles* Morn--

Jack's mobile phone starts ringing...

Jack- *sighs and answers the phone* Hello? ... ... Right... ... Ok then. Bye.

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile,
Violet: O_O So... so that's what's happened there... That's what happened in Scotland... (That's.. that's what he won't tell me...) Renie: Something wrong, Violet? Violet: Huh? Oh, everything's fine, teacher... So um... Renie: Violet, do you mind if I ask you something? Violet: Not at all, teacher... Renie: Why do you still keep your laptop if you're tired of being a netgirl? I mean, most other people like you sold their laptops for better things... Violet: *grins* Heh. I guess I've always thought I could find a better use for it. I mean you still have yours and you're not a netgirl anymore. Renie: Yeah, but I'm a teacher. *shrugs* Violet: *stands up* Right.. Um, Renie..? Renie: Hm? Violet: Do you mind if I... make a phone call? I'd like to call an old friend... And I didn't bring my laptop along. Renie: Uhm... sure. I don't mind. I have a meeting anyways. Violet: Alright. Thanks, Renie-chan. Renie: No problem. *stands up and leaves* Violet: *sits in Renie's chair and enters the phone number* Come on.. pick up... >_>;; This is important.

((I just came up with a crazy idea. Jack and Violet could be old friends. :P))

[Jack]

((Could be))

Natalie- What was that? Jack- Code Gray in Scotland... Natalie- Mass Murder...? Jack- Without any cause of death known... *pulls on a white shirt and a pair of jeans* Natalie- *gets out of the bed, then pulls on a pink shirt, a pair of small tight pink shorts and some pink legwarmers* Jack- Somebody likes their pink. Natalie- *giggles quietly then wraps herself round Jack* Jack- *hugs Natalie* That somebody also likes random hugs by the looks of it too... Natalie- *breaks away, blushing* S-Sorry... Jack- Nah, it's OK. C'mon, we better get moving. *walks outside, and gets into his DB9's driver side* Natalie- *follows Jack, and gets into the passenger side* Jack- *starts the engine and is about to pull off when his phone starts ringing* *sighs* What now...? *answers phone* Hello?

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile,
Violet: *slams her hand down on Renie's desk, causing papers to fly everywhere* (Oops. Looks like I'll have to pick those up when Renie gets back...) Finally! >_<;; Anyways, I hope you've heard about those mass murders in Scotland... I have a friend who's staying with me. Maybe you could... er, I dunno.. Come over and question him? ???: *knocks on the door* Violet: I'm on the phone! Hold on! Or just come in! I don't care! >_<;; *slams her hand down on the desk, causing more papers to fly off of the desk* Damn it! ???: *walks in* Violet: *takes a deep breath and sighs* Alright, just.. if you're going to come over, meet me at... I dunno, meet me somewhere, I don't care...

[Jack]

Jack- Still got the anger management problems then, I see. Anyway, a Code Gray has been put out in Scotland. I'm heading up there now to check it out. And you'll be getting a phone call within the next minute telling you to get your ass over here.

[Nova]

Chief-*gets off phone with President* oh dear....we really did not need this now.....Rick-*confused* What's going on chief? Chief- Apparently a massacre has occured in Scotland, yet they don't know how everyone is dying...Rick-Is it some sort of disease? Chief-They've ruled out most of the diseases that we heard of and another interesting fact is that the victims have a strange mark on their foreheads....like a diamond. Rick-Hmph....Well since I'm not doing an- Chief- Rick I need you on a jet to Scotland now. Get ready and head out ASAP. Rick- Am I going alone? Chief- For now, if we were to send more people would begin to ask questions and panic would ensue. I'm pretty sure you can team up with a division once you're there. Now get going! Rick- Alright*gets up and heads for door* Chief-good luck lieutenant. Rick-Thank you *leaves and closes door and heads for boarding room*Chief-*Takes out cigar and lights it* Let's hope you can get this thing resolved *begins smoking*

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile,
Violet: Well, you know, I would go visit Scotland, but you see... I'm kinda sorta waiting on my good old university professor to get back from her class. So... yeah. Either you'd have to come here or you'll have to wait. ???: *notices the papers scattered on the floor, but sits down in a chair in front of the desk*

[Jack]

Jack- It's not me who wants you in Scotland. It's the United Nations.

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile,
Violet: Ugh, fine. I'll be there as soon as humanely possible. -_-;; Bye. *hangs up* .. *sigh* Alright, time to pick up these bloody papers before Renie gets back.. *stands up and starts picking up the papers* ???: Where is Renie anyways? Violet: Depends. Who are you? Habbu: A student. Like you used to be. I'm Habbu. Violet: Oh... (A student.. like me..) She's got a class. She should be back soon. *slams the papers down on the desk* Anyways, sorry if I scared you earlier. ^_^;; My friends say I have a bit of anger management problems. n_n

[Jack]

Meanwhile...

Jack- *puts his phone on top of the dashboard, pulls off his driveway, then slams the acceleator pedal into the floor, leaving a cloud of wheelspin smoke as he drives off* Natalie- Do you always have to do that? Jack- Yeah. Natalie- *sighs*

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile,
Renie: *walks back into the room* ...Ugh. Longest day ever... *sighs* Violet: You're telling me. Anyways, Renie-chan.. I've gotta go to Scotland. Some personal sh*t came up and.. yeah. I'll be back soon. *stands up and walks out the door*

[Jack]

Later...

Scotland Border -- 1:32 p.m

Natalie- *asleep in her seat, gently breathing* Jack- *dialling a number into his mobile with one hand and steering with the other* God help me if the police show up now... Driving while speaking on a phone aswell as going 100 and something miles an hour... *Puts the phone to his ear as the dialling tone starts, followed by the ringing tone which carries on... and on...* C'mon Vi... Pick up your damn phone...

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile,
Violet: *takes out her phone after she walks out of the school* ... ...Oh. It's him. *answers* What now? *can hear the faint sound of a car engine* ...Are you driving while talking on the phone?!

[Nova]

Meanwhile-

Rick-*Finally gets to boarding room, packs things, and head towards garage. Once there gets into his car* Haven't driven this baby in years...good times.*starts car and drives into open hatch of Jet, parks car and turns it off* Now it's time to go to Scotland*heads to ****pit, puts on face mask. turns switches*Air Traffic Control this is Eagle Beta 223 asking for permission to takeoff? ATC-Eagle Beta 223, permission is granted, you are ready to fly Rick-*turns the last couple of switches and begins pulling down the runway* Time to fly! *picks up speed and takes off en route to Scotland*

[Jack]

Meanwhile...

Jack- Don't start the phoning-driving lecture again, for christs sake. Where are you, anyway?

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile,
Violet: Fine, I'll do that later. *looks around* Um... I'm outside of the university I went to. ._. Sensei just kinda.. let me go. *chuckles quietly* But um.. yeah, I'm actually about to head home to get some things and then I should be able to leave. (Unless Lance-san is awake..) *starts walking* But why does that matter anyways?

[Jack]

Jack- Just a matter of intrest. I'll see you later anyway. *hangs up*

[~Felly~]

Violet: *looks at her phone and blinks* Wh-wha..? Bah, whatever..

15 minutes later,
Violet: *walks into her house and looks around* (Oh... good. Lance is sleeping.) *runs over to her room and starts packing while also writing a letter to Lance* Alright, done. *grabs some money and shoves it into her pocket, then drops the note on the table and leaves* (Alright, if I take the car, it'll be highly noticeable once Lance wakes up. Plus, it's his car and he'll probably get p*ssed if I do. So one other option. High tail it by running to the next bus stop.) *looks around and sees the bus* (Or not...) The bus stops at the bus stop by Violet's apartment. *jumps on the bus, pays the fare, and takes a seat* (Whew. Thank God that bus was already coming.)

[Jack]

Meanwhile...

An idiot driver pulls out infront of Jack's Aston, and almost crashes into him

Jack- *slams on the brakes* What the f*ck!? *looks for the driver, then when he sees him, slams on the acceleator and starts pursuing them*
Natalie- *had woken up when Jack slammed on the brakes* What the...? What happened? Jack- Some idiot tried to crash into us.

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile,
Violet: *shifting uncomfortably in her plane seat* (Ohh~, Renie-sensei is going to be so mad at me~. And then I haven't seen Jack-san in forever! Ah, what if he's gotten cuter! Ohh, this is so much to take in all at once!) Passenger 1: Hey, um.. excuse me.. But could you please stop shifting around in your seat so much? It's starting to annoy me... a lot. Violet: Oh, sorry, sir. I didn't mean to annoy you. ^_^;; *stops shifting and gazes out the window*

[Jack]

Meanwhile...

Jack- *still pursuing the driver* What the hell has that guy done to that car. A Vauxhall Vectra that can keep up with an Aston Martin? Driver- *suddenly brakes and applies the handbrake, spinning his car to face Jack, then slams into reverse, and starts driving backwards* Jack- What the hell is this guy doing...? Natalie- Beats me... Driver- *winds down his window, and puts his hand out, holding a pistol* Jack- Sh*t! Get down! Natalie- *ducks, holding her hands over her head, scared stiff* Jack- *slams on the brakes, then does a J-turn, and drives away from the Driver* Driver- *starts shooting at Jack, but misses all the shots as Jack gets too far away* Natalie- I-Is it s-safe? Jack- Yeah, I think we lost him. But who the hell was it, and why the hell did he just do all that? Natalie- No ide-- Wait, you don't think... maybe it was something to do with the murders we're investigating... Jack- ... Maybe...

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile,
Violet: *opens up her laptop* Uh.. hello? Renie: Violet, just what the hell have you done?! Violet: (I didn't expect this now...) Um... there's actually a pretty good explanation for this, Renie-sensei. Renie: Well, right now, I don't f*cking care! Get your a*s back to Japan now. Violet: Um.. Renie-sensei, that's kind of near impossible. I'm on a plane and um.. I like my job and my house. I'd rather not spend the rest of my life in a jail cell. Renie: Well, get yourself another bloody plane ticket when you land and get back here! >_<;; Violet: I'll try... *hangs up*

[Jack]

Meanwhile...

Jack- *sitting back in his seat* *sighs* Natalie- *shaking* Jack- *pushes the accelarator and pulls off, back in the direction of the village they have been sent to investigate* Better tell Vi... Natalie- Vi? Who's Vi? Jack- And old friend who's coming over to investigate the murders with us. *picks up his phone and dials Violet's number in, before holding the phone to his ear and waiting for an answer*

[~Felly~]

Violet sighs as she opens her laptop back up and clicks the answer button. Jack was calling her again. "What?" she asked, restraining the urge to not get mad. The person sitting next to her was getting really annoyed and another call was coming in. It was Lance. She pressed the hold button and connected her headset to the computer to not annoy other passangers.

[Jack]

"You'd better watch out when you get here. This murder case may be more organised than we thought. We've just had a guy shooting at us - he may be trying to stop us investigate the murder. Watch your back" Jack took a quick deep breath as he finished talking, and waited for Violet to reply.

[~Felly~]

Violet tapped her fingers on her laptop as she thought of a reply. "Alright. Is that all? I've got my roommate on the line and he's probably going to start screaming at me as well," Violet replied as she clicked on her internet browser, Firefox. She figured she was going to have to learn a little bit about Scotland and the things going on there.

[Jack]

"Yeah, that's it for now. I'll call you if something else comes up." Jack said, before hanging up and putting his phone on the top of the dashboard. "D...do you like that Violet girl...? Natalie asked Jack, somewhat nervously. Jack glanced at Natalie inquisitively, and Natalie picked up on this, "I'm just curious..." Jack smiled and let out a short, quiet chuckle. "I like her, as a friend likes a friend. Not as a lover, if you're worrying." Natalie blushed heavily, and stammered, "N-no, I d-didn't mean it l-like that!"

[~Felly~]

"We will be stopping in China in just a few moments. Please prepare to get off," the person speaking over the intercom stated. Violet sighed as she clicked the answer button so she could get this conversation over with Lance. "What do you want, Lance?" Violet asked, impaitently tapping her fingers on the laptop.

"Violet, you can't go to Scotland! Come back home now!" Lance cried. Violet chuckled quietly to herself and smiled. "You're right, Lance. I can't go to Scotland. Not until tomorrow anyway. You're acting like Irene. If you guys don't want me going to Scotland so badly, why don't you and Irene come and stop me?" Violet replied with a hint of anger. "Maybe we will!" Lance replied before hanging up. Violet smiled and resumed her search for information on Scotland.

[Jack]

Jack chuckled again, "I know, I know. Don't worry yourself about it, Natalie." Natalie took a deep breath, and sat back in her seat. Jack glanced at his rear-view mirrow, and obviously didn't like what he saw. "Get down!" He shouted at Natalie, who obliged quickly, before a stream of gunfire started rattling agaisnt the body and windows of car. Two Vauxhall Vectras, which excluding the license plates were indetical to the one that Jack was pursuing earlier, were following Jack and Natalie, each with two men shooting machine guns out the side windows at Jack's car. "Time to solve this problem" Jack said angrily, before pressing a small red button on the steering wheel.

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile, in China, Violet stepped out of the taxi cab in front of the hotel she planned to stay at. Sighing, she dragged her suitcase into the hotel and smiled. "Hello, welcome to the hotel. How may I help you?" the receptionist asked politely.

"Hi. I'd like a room. Any room is fine," Violet replied, smiling. The receptionist handed her a key and Violet ran towards the elevator. She was already quite exhausted and couldn't wait any longer to get into a bed.

Meanwhile, in Japan, Lance waited paitently outside the door of Renie's office. The door flew open and Renie walked out with her arms crossed. "Alright. If you wanna talk, we've gotta go someplace private and loud," Renie stated as she started walking ahead of Lance, who quickly followed after. "Alright. That's cool," Lance replied.

[Jack]

Natalie saw what Jack did, and looked a mixture of confusion aswell as nervousness. "Jack, what have you done?" She asked nervously. "Look out the back window and you'll see" Jack said, smirking. Natalie turned round and looked out the back window, as Jack had told her, and a look of disbelief came across her face, as two rockets blasted from the back of Jack's car, and hit the two Vectras pursuing them, causing a massive explosion as fire, smoke, car parts, and even body parts flew into the air. "Oh my..." She said, as her voice faltered in shock. "W-when did you put those in?" She asked, turning round in her seat to face forwards again. "The same time I put in the machine guns and invisibility cloaking." Jack replied. "Bloody hell. It's like a James Bond movie!" Natalie exclaimed. Jack chuckled, "Yeah, maybe. But then again, we are special ops agents aren't we. So it sort of makes sense that we are armed." Natalie pondered it for a few seconds before asking, "Could you upgrade my car like yours?"

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile, in China, Violet was laying on her bed in the hotel room. She had a really bad migrane headache and no pills to help it at all. Going to a pharmacy in China wouldn't help much either; she couldn't read Chinese to save her life. Japanese writing and Chinese writing weren't the same thing either; it just looked the same. Violet let out a deep sigh as she closed her eyes and attempted to go to sleep.

Meanwhile, in a local Japanese restaurant in Japan, Renie let out a deep sigh as Lance explained everything to her. Yes, she did know about Violet leaving unexpectedly, but she didn't think she'd meant that soon. Sighing, she massaged her temples as Lance took a sip of his green tea. "We're-- No, you're going to have to go to Scotland and stop her," Renie stated. Lance nearly spit out his green tea when Renie said this, but he swallowed it and started coughing. "WHAT?!" Lance coughed. Renie nodded and handed him a check for a plane ticket. "Just go. I don't want my student getting hurt," she replied as she placed the money on the table for their food.

[Jack]

3 Hours Later...

A police constable approaches his sergeant. "Sir, we've got a car waiting at the cordon. They say they're special ops." The Sergeant replied instantly, "Let them through, and send them to me." The constable nodded, and returned to the cordon line. A few seconds passed, then an Aston Martin DB9 pulled up next to the sergeant. The window rolled down, and Jack's face came into view. The Sergeant looked at Jack for a moment before asking him, "Special Ops?" Jack nodded, "That's us. I'm Special Agent Jack Sataro and my colleague is Special Agent Natalie Torinn".

[~Felly~]

3 hours later in China, Violet has just boarded her plane to travel directly to Scotland. She wasn't too surprised about the small number of people actually travelling to Scotland. Shrugging, she took her seat and took out her laptop. There was a strong desire to call Renie and apologize, but at the same time, she didn't want to. She was just going to be yelled at anyways. Sighing, she leaned back in the seat and scrolled through her Skype contacts.

Meanwhile, at a Japanese airport, Lance was having a little bit of trouble getting a plane straight to Scotland. The only travel route that would actually have any chance of getting him to Scotland before Violet could even think about arriving would be taking a plane en route to France and then straight to Scotland from there via car or boat. Shrugging, he handed the receptionist the money for a plane ticket to France and then ran straight towards the loading dock. He couldn't afford to miss this flight.

[Jack]

Jack opened the door of his car, and stepped out, closing the door behind him. Natalie did the same. "Have you got all the bodies?" Jack asked the Sergeant. "Yes, they're all in the large white tent over there." He replied, pointing to a long tent about 100 yards away. Jack nodded, "Thanks, Sergeant." He walked past the Sergeant towards the tent, with Natalie walking by his side.

[~Felly~]

"YOU DID WHAT, RENIE?!" Violet practically screamed at the top of her lungs. She wanted to scream even louder, but resisted the urge to do so. She was already starting to cough because of her asthma and her inhaler was in her luggage. She would have to calm down a bit. "Look, you saw that news report. Why are you being so stupid as to go there?!" Renie replied. "Because an old friend of mine called. A really old friend of mine. Someone I actually give a d*mn about," Violet replied before hanging up on her former university teacher. The plane was beginning to descend and she needed to put her laptop back in it's case.

[Jack]

Jack entered the long, white tent, with Natalie behind him. Jack looked around - there were several hundred bodies, all lying lifeless and white beds, covered in white sheets. Natalie looked on in disbelief, "I can't believe this many people got killed." Jack nodded, "Yeah. I know." Jack walked over to one of the bodies, and lifted the sheet to reveal their head, being careful not to touch the body. His face looked grim. "Yeah... Sure as hell, there it is..." He said. "The diamond mark?" Natalie asked. Jack nodded.

[~Felly~]

Violet was finally off of the plane, in Scotland. And she was doing the one thing she forbade herself from doing: talking on the phone while driving. Actually, if you want to get technical, one could say that Vi was screaming into the phone while driving towards the site that she had been told to go to upon her arrival in Scotland. "Irene, for God's sake, I don't give a d*mn! Okay? For the love of God! Lance can come if he wants! It's his home country, okay?!" At this, Violet hung up the phone and turned it off as quickly as possible to ignore any more of Renie's noncense. It was just driving her completely insane.

And things were going to get much worse now that she had pulled into the location she had been told to visit. Jack was already there... and so was another girl.

[Jack]

Jack heard the car pull up and the engine stop. He replaced the sheet on the body and walked out of the tent. He looked over to the place he heard the car and saw Violet. He walked over to her. "Got here without much trouble then?"

[~Felly~]

"Mmmm, depends on what you would call trouble," Violet replied as she shoved her laptop back into it's case. She shoved the laptop case into her backpack and stepped out of the car. "What about you? Knowing you, I'm pretty sure you didn't get here without some sort of trouble," Violet asked, leaning against the car and grinning.

[Jack]

"Not much trouble. Just two Vauxhall's full of armed men chasing us through half of Scotland." Jack said, chuckling.

[~Felly~]

"Haha, I expec-- wait. Armed men? Why the hell would they be chasing you?" Violet asked as she ignored the beeping of her cell phone, which she had turned back on. She knew who it was and really didn't want to talk to them at that moment in time. She also disregarded the fact that Jack had mentioned a car type - or something like that - to her. Violet definatly wasn't a car person.

[Jack]

"Long story. Not going to answer your phone then I suppose?" Jack said, glancing backwards at Natalie, who was talking towards him and Violet.

[~Felly~]

The beeping had stopped for a moment followed by two quick beeps. There was a voicemail. 'D*mn. Lance or Renie left a message... This isn't going to end well,' Violet thought as she pulled the cell phone out from her back pocket and let out a quiet sigh. She dialed her voice mail number and listened paitently as Renie screamed into the phone, mentioning that Lance had arrived in Scotland already and was headed to Violet's location already. She deleted the message and hung up the phone. "I knew who it was anyway... Didn't feel the need to answer it."

[Jack]

"Eh, whatever." Jack said as Natalie stopped next to him. Natalie looked at Violet, before asking Jack in a rather annoyed tone, "Who's she and what is she doing here?" Jack sighed, "Don't start like that Natalie. This is Violet, my friend I was on the phone to back in Birmingham. She's over here to help us." Natalie paused before simply uttering, "Whatever."

[~Felly~]

Violet looked from Jack to Natalie. The female seemed to have a bad attitude. Or she just seemed to already hate Violet. "You have something against me?" she asked to Natalie. If Violet had to work with someone who hated her guts, then she wouldn't have much of a problem with killing Natalie at all. Not at all.

[Jack]

Jack sighed, "Please girls, Don't start. We don't need you two fighting all the way along this mission." Natalie looked from Jack to Violet before grunting in what Jack presumed was agreement. "Thank you." Jack said. "Now, We need to find out what exactly is going on here. Any ideas where to start?"

[~Felly~]

Violet muttered some swears to herself after Jack stopped the two girls from fighting. She was determined to get Natalie now. She really was. "Yeah. I say we start by asking the victims' families about the victims. You know, to see if they had any other prior illnesses."

[Jack]

"Mm, Ok. We don't need to ask everyone though - just ask about 15 or 20. Get a rough idea. I'll try and dig up medical records as well." Jack said, before walking away and getting into his car. Natalie went to follow him before Jack rolled down the window and told her, "You go talk to the victims' families with Violet. You two could do with a bit of time together to get, how would you say it, acquainted with eachother." He chuckled before starting the engine and roaring off. Natalie watched him pull off before turning to Violet.

[~Felly~]

Violet stood in one spot, literally staring at Jack's car as he drove away. There was no way in the world that he would leave her with someone that she literally hated. And he was doing it! She was stuck with Natalie all alone. 'Oh, Jack... You're gonna pay. Literally,' she thought as she turned to face Natalie.

"So... um, where do you think we should go first?" she asked, trying not to sound nervous.

[Jack]

"Look, forget that for the moment, I just want to clear something up. I don't hate you. I have nothing agaisnt you, and I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you just. I'm just... scared... that Jack will go for another woman rather than me..." Natalie said, nervously. "Oh and please don't tell him I said that. If he knows I have a crush as big as I have on him, then it may well alienate him from me."

[~Felly~]

Violet nodded. She could understand how Natalie felt. She too had a massive crush on Jack back when they were in school. Then they went their separate ways - Violet going to Renie and Jack going wherever it was that he went. "Alright then. We'll put that behind us. And don't worry, I won't tell him," Violet replied, giving Natalie a small smile.

[Jack]

"Thanks." Natalie smiled back. "Well, we should really get a move on with this victims' families business. We should just take a random sample of about 20 maybe. Then check out their families - see what they say." Natalie glanced around, looking for the Sergeant leading the operation. When she caught sight of him, she walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me Sergeant." The Sergeant turned round to Natalie before replying politely, "Ah, Agent Torinn. What can I do for you?" Natalie replied, "Have you got a list of all the people who've died?" The Sergeant shook his head. "I'm afraid not. About 500 people plus have died, and we have only got around 130 people logged so far." Natalie did not hesitate before replying back, "That's fine for us. We..." Natalie gestured towards Violet, "...only need about 20 records anyway." The Sergeant nodded. "Ok. I'll have one of my officers bring you a copy of the list we have so far." He walked away, over to a small tent with 'Forensics' written on a sign above the entrance.

[~Felly~]

Just as the sergeant walked away, Violet's phone started ringing off the hook once more. She let out a quiet sigh and took out the phone. It was an unknown number, so despite the fact that she didn't like answering the phone for people she didn't know, she did anyway with the deep thought that it would be either Renie or Lance. "Hello?" she asked.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" the voice screamed. It was Lance; the voice was just that recognizeable. Violet let out another deep sigh as she got ready to push the end button. "Figure it out yourself. You seem like a smart guy." was all she said into the phone before pushing the end button and returning the phone to her pocket. "...Stalkers."

[Jack]

Natalie looked at Violet before asking curiously, "What the hell was that about?"

Meanwhile...

"I've had enough of this now!" Jack yelled. He was being followed again by armed men in Vauxhalls. They were quite a bit behind now, but they knew where he was. He turned off into a small side turning and stopped the car, before getting out and opening the boot. "Deal with this you b*stards," He said grabbing his Jet Black M4 Carbine. A few seconds later, the Vauxhalls turned the corner and stopped a few yards infront of Jack. Jack simply smirked, before letting all hell loose and firing a whole magazine of ammo into the two cars.

[~Felly~]

"Just a friend of mine who I ditched at my apartment back in Japan," Violet replied.

Meanwhile,
Lance had just gotten off of his plane in Scotland and walked the five miles back to his home. Once there, he took his car keys out, started the car and drove out of the driveway. The look in his eyes showed determination that he was going to find Violet. Even if he died trying.

[Jack]

"Oh right," Natalie said. "It seemed like more than that though." She sighed and looked around again. "It's hard to believe something could kill an entire village..."

Meanwhile...

Jack waited for all the dust to clear, dust that had been caused by bullets straying off into the floor. He held his M4 by his side. A few seconds passed and the dust cleared, to reveal good and bad news - the good news, Jack had killed most of the men with his random spraying of bullets; the bad news, one of the men was still alive and he was pointing his gun straight at Jack.

[~Felly~]

Lance's car, which had just arrived at the scene of the action, barely dodged all of the bullets and pulled over behind some trees and ran out with a weapon in hand. He ran out and hid behind one of the trees when he noticed the two men ready to kill each other. Lance was going to wait for just the perfect moment before he jumped out and killed both of the other men before carrying on with his journey to get back to Violet. 'I picked the worst day to take the back roads...'

Meanwhile,
"Yeah, I have to agree with you," Violet replied. "It is hard to believe."

[Jack]

Jack was not as oblivious to Lance as he thought. He had seen Lance hide. However, he took no notice for now. He stared at the man pointing a gun at his head. The man stared back. A few seconds passed, before the man suddenly pulled the trigger and started firing. Jack grinned and suddenly glowed white and dissapeared. The man stopped firing and stared at the spot Jack was standing in just a few moments ago, "What the...?!"

[~Felly~]

Lance had peered out from his hiding spot just as Jack glowed white. "Wh-what the hell?! How the heck did he do that?!" He frantically looked around with his weapon in hand and in the ready. If this guy was the enemy, he definitely needed to be ready.

[Jack]

A second or two passed before Jack suddenly reappeared behind the guy with the gun. He tapped the man on the shoulder, who turned round to be met with Jack's fist. Jack knocked the guy straight to the floor, kicked away his gun and placed his foot on his chest. "You gonna tell me what the hell you're doing or do I have to do it the hard way?" Jack snarled. The man whimpered and instantly cracked. "I-I work for the people who killed the village off. They told us you would be heading up there and they told us to kill you as soon as we could... Look, please don't hurt me. I'm just doing what I was paid to do!" Jack looked at the man carefully as he spoke, looking for any tell-tale signs of lying - he found none. "Either you're telling the truth or you're a damn good liar... Ok, who are these people you work for?" Jack asked. The man said nothing. "Don't make me force it out of you." Jack growled. "I-I can't say... They'll hunt me down, kill me." He said, his voice breaking. "I'll kill you if you don't co-operate!" Jack shouted. "And believe me, I know very slow, painful ways of killing." The man's lips trembled, before he finally said, "They call themselves 'Il Tempio della Morte'. I have no idea what it means, but they are hell-bent on killing anyone and everyone." Jack sighed, "It means The Temple of Death, or in other words it means I'm gonna have a whole lot of trouble with these guys. Ok, you've been helpful so I won't kill you. But if I get hunted down by these guys and I find out you're in ANY way invovled, I'll hunt down you. Understand?" The man's lips trembled again. "Y-Y-Yes." Jack took his foot off the man's chest, who in turn legged it as far as he could out of sight. Jack walked back to his car, and grabbed two clips of ammo from the boot. He loaded one into his M4 and put the other in his pocket. He then closed the boot and started to glow white again before dissapearing. He reappeared a few seconds later behind Lance and put his gun to his head. "Who are you and what are you watching me for?" Jack asked angrily.

[~Felly~]

Lance turned around slowly with his gun pointed at Jack's abdomen. A sly smirk appeared on Lance's face as he placed his finger on the gun's trigger. "More like who are you and what are you doing shooting everyone and their mother? Actually, 'who are you' doesn't fit you. What are you?"

[Jack]

"I'm going to be the one who kills you if you don't tell me who the hell you are." Jack snarled. "And don't even think about trying to turn the tables on me; it won't work and you're brains will be all over the floor if you even try anything stupid."

Meanwhile...

A police officer approached Natalie and Violet and handed them a list of all the people who had died that they had logged so far. "The list you requested." Natalie took the list, "Thanks." She turned to Violet, "Right, let's get started then."

[~Felly~]

"Yeah," Violet replied. She started looking at the list over Natalie's shoulder, trying to find someone who had been previously sick before they had just randomly died.

Meanwhile,
"Alright, fine. You got me. The name's Lance and that's all you're getting from me. Now what are you?" Lance replied.

[Jack]

"I not a 'what'," Jack said, still holding his gun to Lance's head. "I am human. Now, you're name rings a bell, and I don't believe that is coincidence. You are here to find a girl named Violet, no?"

[~Felly~]

Lance dropped his gun out of his hands at the sound of Violet's name. "You... you know her?" He had forgotten that Jack was there holding a gun to his head. He just wanted to know that Violet was okay. That was all he needed to know.

[Jack]

"Had a feeling that might evoke a reaction - albeit quite a different reaction - but nevertheless..." Jack rambled. "Yes, I do know Violet and I also know that you've been pestering her alot lately." Jack moved his gun away from Lance's head and held it by his side.

[~Felly~]

"Heh, I realized that. But I wanna know where she is and if she's alright. That's all I need to know. And then I'll be on my way," Lance replied. He let out a sigh of relief as Jack lowered the gun away from his head. Slowly and carefully, however, he bent down to pick up his own gun that he accidentally dropped.

[Jack]

"She is fine as far as I am aware. She is with my friend and colleague at the moment - they are investigating any medical conditions of people who have died in the village. Violet will probably kill me for this but I'll take you to where we are conducting the main part of this investigation." Jack walked away from Lance and over to his car. He put his M4 in the boot, got into the car and started the engine.

[~Felly~]

"Alright," Lance mumbled as Jack walked away. He walked back over to his car and placed the gun that he just picked up in the passenger's seat before entering the car. Lance started the engine and prepared to exit the safe spot he parked his car at safely.

Meanwhile,
"Huh... That's weird. I don't see anyone that had a previous medical problem before they died. Do you?" Violet mumbled. She stepped back away from Natalie and let out a quiet sigh.

[Jack]

Natalie double checked the list. "You're right. Absolutely nothing. Not even so much as an eye condition. That is not natural..."

Meanwhile...

Jack pulled out of the side-turning they were in and drove away, down the road towards the Investigation site. He pulled his phone from out of his pocket, and dialled in Violet's number. "You better not leave me waiting for ages again, Violet..." He mumbled quietly. "And you better not try and give me a lecture on phoning and driving... I'm gonna get an earful as it is."

[~Felly~]

Lance followed behind Jack's car slowly and quietly, so as to not run into him. That was the last thing he wanted and needed.

Meanwhile,
"No, that definitely isn't natu--" Violet paused as she heard her phone begin to ring. Sighing quietly to herself, she took the phone out of her pocket and read the caller ID. It was Jack. "Oh, this is interesting. It's Jack." She answered the phone and in a slightly annoyed voice, said "What you want?"

[Jack]

"I don't know whether I really want to be saying this right now, but I found a friend of yours..." Jack said. He hesitated before saying the next part. "I'm brining Lance with me to the investigation site. He just wants to know you're OK is what he told me..."

[~Felly~]

When Violet heard that Lance was going to the investigation site with Jack, her mouth literally fell open. She was completely and literally insane. Violet heard the engine of a car in the background, so she figured he was driving and talking at the same time. But that didn't matter at this moment. She took the phone away from her ear and placed the part that she talked into near her mouth. Before she spoke, she placed the phone on speaker. "YOU'RE BRINGING WHO TO THE INVESTIGATION SITE?!" Violet yelled into the phone.

[Jack]

"Thought I might get a reaction like that..." Jack sighed. "Look, Lance said he only wants to know if you're OK. He mentioned nothing about anyone else, and to be honest, I don't think he's lying."

At the same time...

Natalie covered her ears as Violet yelled, and most of the police officers scattered around the site turned to look at Violet. Natalie took her hands away from her ears after Violet's outburst and asked nervously, "Problem?"

[~Felly~]

"He better not be lying or I'll have his head for it. Make sure he knows that. And if you're lying to me, I'll have..." she paused in her threat to Jack and Lance, unsure of what she wanted of Jack's. "I'll have... I'LL HAVE SOMETHING OF YOURS. YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!" And then she mashed the end button multiple times before realizing the call was ended. She shoved the phone into her pocket and turned to Natalie. "Just a little one. An old friend of mine is coming and I'd rather not see his face right now."

[Jack]

"Right... And Jack's bringing him?" Natalie asked.

Meanwhile...

Jack took the phone away from his ear and put it ontop of the dashboard. "Damn it, does she have to shout...?" Jack sighed.

30 minutes later...

Natalie heard two car engines in the distance, and they were coming closer. "Sounds like those two are back..." She walked out of the tent she was in, where she was trying to figure out how nobody had any medical conditions, and into the clearing just outside. A few seconds later, Jack's Aston Martin came into view, followed by Lance's car. Jack pulled up next to Natalie and turned off the engine. "Where's Violet?" He asked as he stepped out the car.

[~Felly~]

Violet dragged her shotgun on the ground, the weight of it being a little bit too much for her. Just as Lance stepped out of the car and Jack asked where Violet was, she stopped in her tracks in Jack's line of vision. "Right here. Now where is the idiot so I know if I can shoot his guts out or not?" she replied, tapping her shotgun with an evil grin. Lance stopped walking when he was next to Jack and noticed Violet.

"Oh... well, I guess she's okay," Lance mumbled.

[Jack]

Jack sighed. "I'm not even going to bother getting involved." He walked away to a nearby tent. Natalie glanced from Violet to Lance, then back to Violet, before deciding to follow Jack into the tent.

[~Felly~]

"...Tch." was all Violet said before turning away from Lance and placing her gun back into her car. She followed after Natalie and Jack into the tent after locking her car back up. Lance watched her do these things and once she was in the tent, he slowly followed after Violet.

[Jack]

Jack walked to the back of the tent, and sat down on a large wooden chair. Natalie looked around for another chair, but could not find one and so decided to sit on Jack instead. "Oof." Jack grunted as Natalie literally jumped on him. "Be careful why don't you - I know you're only light but you still can bloody hurt." Natalie simply giggled. Jack waited for Violet to enter the tent before asking, "So, what's up with these medical records? Anything?"

[~Felly~]

"I didn't see anything and neither did Natalie. It was weird, but none of them had any medical problems," Violet replied. "What about you? Did you find anything?" Just as Violet finished speaking, Lance hesitated on walking into the tent and Violet gravitated away from the entrance slowly.

[Jack]

"Yeah," Jack said. "Him." He pointed towards Lance. Natalied sighed, "Anything that helps us, smartarse." Jack poked Natalie in the side, which made her release a little, high pitched squeal. "I also found out quite a bit of info on our enemies. Poor soul didn't like the prospect of living his last hours on a life support machine. Anyway, the people behind this are an organisation who call themselves 'Il Tempio della Morte' - it means The Temple of Death - and their main goal in life is to kill everyone. Charming, in'it."

[~Felly~]

Lance rolled his eyes when Jack pointed to him as did Violet. "Very funny." He looked annoyed as he sighed quietly to himself. When Jack mentioned The Temple of Death, Violet looked slightly surprised. "I hope you're being sarcastic about that charming thing. But did you find anything else out?"

[Jack]

"Nope." Jack said. Natalie sighed, "So all we have is a name and a motive - and they're both still vague..." Jack remained silent.

[~Felly~]

Violet nodded in agreement. "What if we try and find out if they've done anything else besides this thing?" Lance asked. Violet looked at him in confusion. "This thing" wasn't very specific and she was sure that Jack and Natalie were confused as well. "What are you talking about, Lance?" Violet asked in annoyance. "The Death peoples or whatever they were called," Lance replied. All Violet could do was shake her head in shame. She was totally unsure of how she became friends with a fool.

[Jack]

Jack pondered for a moment. "I doubt that even if the Death Temple have done something like this before we will find much on it. Something like this has to operate without anyone knowing who did it and how."

[~Felly~]

"He's got a point," Violet stated. Lance just scowled and crossed his arms. Sighing, Violet tried to think of a different idea. The thing was that she couldn't think of anything. "Well.. do any of you have an idea?"

[Jack]

Jack sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "I got nothing." Natalie had a look of serious thought on her face. An idea had crossed her mind. "How about an undercover operation?" She suggested. Jack considered the option, "Possible, but it's going to be tough going to set it up and even tougher going to keep it going - but it's possible." Natalie nodded in understanding, "I know." Jack added, "There's also the subject of who will actually go undercover. It needs to be someone who the Death Temple does not know of, so I'm out of the equation, as is Natalie - they've already sent an armed convoy at us - two at me infact."

[~Felly~]

Violet looked between herself and Lance numerous times before looking at Jack with a shocked expression. "No, no, no! You definitely aren't thinking of sending me with him, are you?! Because I refuse right here and now! I'd be much better off going on this by myself!"

[Jack]

"No, that's not what I'm thinking" Jack said. "Only one person needs to go, Violet. Don't worry yourself over it. Natalie leant back on her seat, Jack to be precise, so that she was pretty much lying ontop of Jack's chest, with her head over his shoulder. "Y'know," Jack said to Natalie, "If you moved back any further you'd be behind me." Natalie sighed.

[~Felly~]

Violet let out a sigh of relief and grinned. "Oh. Alright then. I nominate that Lance goes then," she stated happily. Lance looked shocked at this as he looked from Violet to Jack and Natalie, then back to Violet. "But this is like life or death here!! You gotta be--" Violet held her hand up, which immediately silenced Lance. "Oh, that's why you're going."

[Jack]

"And you're supposed to be friends..." Jack sighed. "Oh well, like I give a damn. Lance, looks like you're going to be doing this." Jack stood up, forcing Natalie to stand up too. Natalie sat back down on Jack's chair. "Right..." Jack said, walking out of the tent, beckoning Lance to follow him. "First things first, we need to find out where the Death Temple is based, then we need to know how we get you in Lance."

[~Felly~]

Lance snarled at Violet and gave her the finger as he followed Jack out of the tent. 'I hate you, Violet... I oh so hate you,' Lance thought as he lowered his hand. All Violet did was laugh as she grinned happily. "Heh, I hate you too, Lance. It's all even. I hate you too."

[Jack]

Natalie smiled and giggled quietly. She waited till Lance was out of earshot before asking Violet, "You really don't care if he dies, do you?"

[~Felly~]

Violet turned to Natalie and grinned evilly. "No, I most definitely do not care at all."

[Jack]

Natalie sighed, then chuckled. "You don't let him know that though, I suppose?"

Outside...

"Lance, did you hear anything I just said about your Undercover mission?" Jack asked

[~Felly~]

"Yeah, yeah, I heard. Let's get this over with," Lance replied in an annoyed tone. He really didn't want to do this, but he was obviously the only one going to do it since Violet refused and they already apparently knew the other two people. Whoever they were.

Inside,
"Nope, I sure don't. Best if it's kept a secret, heh," Violet replied, grinning evilly.

[Jack]

"Yeah, best." Natalie said, laughing. She leant back on her chair.

Outside,
Jack sighed. "Look, I know you're annoyed that you have to do this mission, but it's for the sake of the human race. If we don't get someone that we can trust on the inside to pump us information then these guys could strike again in a even bigger village, maybe a town or even a city."

[~Felly~]

"Yes, I know that. Now let's find out where that Death Temple is. Standing around talking isn't gonna help us at all, now is it?" Lance stated aloud. He ignored Jack's seemingly arrogant statement.
