Fernando slides over a business card to Annie. It contains a phone and room number on the back of a hotel's business card.

Fernando: For now, That is where I will be staying. As for yout prisoner, do with him as you wish. I'm too angered to be questioning low lifes, and may send him as a wrapped up package addressed to the to gates of heck.

Fernando releases a sigh and then takes to his coffee.

Fernando: Dont take my actions personal. You should be worrying about all these involved factions splitting Italy into Total Civil War. I prevented that the last time I was here, but that prevention is only a dely to the enevitable if these factions do not get together and hammer out an agreement on how to deal with the corrupt government. Right now Blood is flowing in the streets, when it should be flowing in the offices of those guilty of selling their own people short.

Anne takes the business card. "Tomorrow morning you will get a phone call from Nemi Law and Public Safety informing you they just got a lucky break in the case."

"You are showing a lot of trust in the system." Fernando observed. "This is unlike you, Anne."

"I need to go back to the hospital. The director would have a word with me for walking off the job. Fernando, because I am no longer admitted in Tammy and Bink's room, keep me up to date on their condition. Thank-you for breakfast." With that, Anne leaves.

Hondo's skepticism was obvious. "A terrorist volunteering at a hospital?"

"Anne is another good girl hanging out with the wrong crowd."

Hondo did not expect that. "The Republican Faction the 'wrong crowd?' That's an understatement."

Fernando: Its like this, Hondo: The United States Republican Party hiring the army to roll tanks into congressional hall to evict the Democracts. The Democracts take arms and then start to commit crimes to get their evicted offices back... but it only get them into more trouble. Add a few rich boys who want power and spoil brats with chips on their shoulders, and you will have the problem Italy has now. Add a few more problems and issues like moral disintegration and apathy, drug and a few political assignations, and you will have civil war, which Italy is on the brink off. Hold on, I have to make a phone call.

Fernando takes out his cell phone and makes a phone call to the hospital director.

Fernando: Hello, Dr. Salvatore? Yes, This is Officer Guccioni. I want you to excuse a hospital volunteer, short, thin, red haired mouse... Annie? Yes, thats her. She was at our offices taking care of a personal nature, she was just released and should be returning soon. No, she is not in any trouble, not at all... she was filling a witness report for us. Yes... thank you. Oh, By the way, talk to Dr. Bianchi for me... Yes, the one with the goatee mustache/beard. Have him allow her to work with his patient- that red headed squirrel. Yes, I think that's her name. Thank you.

Fernando hangs up the phone.

Hondo: Isn't like putting the lamb with the lion?
Fernando: Annie might be a terrorist... I dont see her as such... but even if she was, she is somebody I can trust and she can trust me. Oh I know that there is the danger of having that trust betrayed, but until now, we take advantage of what the other can do for us.
Hondo: If she is not a terrorist, then what is she?
Fernando: She's bomb builder...

Hondo's jaw just drops.

Fernando: She's a sophiticated bomb builder... not these little snot nose kids who build a cell phone in a back pack bomb some suicide bomber wears. Her devices are a major threat to large buildings and hundreds of lives. Furthermore, she does not plant them on targets, but she builds them and sells them to the highest bidder. Just like a gun manufacturer...
Hondo: Thats will a terrorist to me.
Fernando: Every once in a while, when she thinks her device is being used where innocent people could be killed with, she's the anonymous call that the police gets to stop the device. Personally, I recieved 2 such calls from her. So if she is a terrorist, she's a terrorist with a conscious.
Hondo: Still a terrorist to me.
Fernando: Welcome to the world of Cloak and Dagger then; where everything is not what is seems and double dealings come from double agents from all levels. Where trust is a toy that can be easily broken and the kids play a came of live and let die. If you can find a double agent you can trust, you treat that double agent like family. Now, you may not like certain members of your family but you love them for who they are.
Hondo: You got that right...
Fernando: Welcome to my dilemia.

"Well, I still don't trust her, but I trust you." Hondo said.
"Are you sure you can trust me? Remember what I said about trust in this business." Fernando said.
"You are above, I believe. You could have used me worse last time, but you didn't. I can trust you. All I ask is that if she betrays us, you shoot her or don't stop me from shootin' her." Hondo said with a hard look in his eye. Fernando looked at him a little surprised.
"You want to shoot her? I though you were against shooting women?" Fernando asked with a raised eyebrow.
"For the most part I am, but too many lives are at stake for us to let her go and do more damage if she proves untrustworthy." Hondo said with not as hard a look, but still a firm look. Hondo hated the thought of killin' a gal, but he had determined if it must be done to save the others then he would do it, even though that might would actually make him start drinkin' which he firmly stood against.

"Don't worry. If she betrays us, you probably will not get a chance, but I believe if she was to betray us, she would tell us first. Folk in this type of business have an odd sense of honor or no honor at all. she has some honor, she has proved that." Fernando said.
"True." Hondo said.
"besides if she does that then we have a better chance of stopping her from betraying us and locking her up. would you not prefer that?" Fernando asked.
"If we can yes." Hondo said.

Fernando: Just keep an open mind and be willing to accept an open deal. But as you know- if its too good to be true...
Hondo: I understand. Now, what was this plan you wanted to telll me about?
Fernando: Well, you heard most of it as I spoke with Annie. The rest is cheesey details of history which is not necessary at this point. I just wonder though- Why LSD? Why not all or most drugs across the board?

Sinclair stepped onto the pier. He was a little late, since most of the group was in Italy for quite a while, but he managed to get some extra stuff and ship in his plane. Officially, he was going to sell it to the local aviation museum as the only surviving Me 262 HG III... but that was the official version.

Narrator: LSD was used as a weapon in some civil wars; like: the Former Yugoslavia, Lebenon, Palastine, and in some modern terrorist acts. In the civil wars, water wells were poisoned and small towns were afffected. People went crazy and left. In terrorist acts, suicide soliders would go tripping before belowing themselves up. So as a weapon it can be used both ways.

Dawn over the Mediterranean Sea. It was a stunningly beautiful sight. The orange sky reflected off of the calm waters and onto the scattered low clouds, highlighting them, red against dark blues. At this hour in the morning, the waters were still, disturbed only by the passage of the battleship USS Texas and her AEGIS cruiser escort, the USS San Jacinto. After two days of leisurely sailing, the two ships had arrived at Gaeta, Italy, and the local NATO command. The command ship USS Mount Whitney was tied up at the small pier, surrounded by floating protective buoys.

The solitary pier at the base was much too small for the Texas to tie up at. Instead, the giant battle wagon simply dropped anchor inside the somewhat sheltered bay. The stay at Gaeta would not be very long, as soon the battleship would be making its way further northward, along the Italian coast.

But it was enough time to transfer a certain bat ashore. Now armed with passports, CCC was motored ashore in a launch, with instructions for those onshore to get him to Rome. Or wherever he wanted to go.

It was also here that Captain Dixon first learned of Admiral Donnely's escape.

"Wasn't he dead? Didn't that guy named Sinclair kill him?" he asked Captain RangerReady,via secure radiophone.

"Yeah, but they brought him back once he came ashore."

"Then why didn't they execute him?!" Eddie yelled.

"I don't know. Maybe those spooks Fernando kept going on about wanted him to be kept alive. They sure like cyborgs."

Eddie growled. Injustice for any reason was something he absolutely detested. Cyborg or no, as far as he was concerned, ex-Admiral Ignacius Donnelly was a traitor to the United States of America.

"If they didn't shoot him, why didn't they lock him up more carefully?"

"Beats me."

"Terrific. At least now though, since he's been stripped of command, rank, and everything else, we shouldn't have to worry about him coming after us with warships."

"Don't be so sure. You don't know him like I do," RangerReady cautioned.

"Maybe. But if he shows his face anywhere near *my* ship, I'll have him shot on sight. And then we'll tie him to a 16" shell and deep-six the body." False bravado or overconfidence maybe, but Eddie thoroughly despised traitors to the US. It was his sworn duty to protect his country from maniacs like Donnelly.

"I think I have more to worry about than you at the moment," said Charlie. "I'm pretty sure it'll be me he goes after first."

"Well I appreciate the call. Thank you."

"Any time, pal."

Eddie hung up the phone and rubbed his eyes. Donnelly couldn't possibly get his paws on a Navy ship now, could he? The investigation that had followed Donnelly's "defection" six months ago was still ongoing, but it seemed that most of Donnelly's "supporters" had been rooted out of the Navy. There weren't all that many; the North Carolina had actually been the worst case that had been found, with thirty-some-odd members of her senor leadership being implicated. After that, the battleship had been retired once more, and returned to the state of North Carolina. Throughout the rest of the Atlantic Fleet, Donnelly's men had been fewer and further between, and nowhere near concentrated enough to initiate any more coups.

Considering all of this, Dixon felt fairly confident that while Donnelly was still out there, he would not be able to do much. For the moment, at least.

OOC: Oh how wrong he'll likely be...

The mouse at the ticket office was polite, and a gentle fellow who certainly did not deserve what happened that day.

It wasn't the bat who wanted a ticket to Rome by the fastest possible route. Tickets to Rome by "the fastest possible route" had been somewhat popular recently.

Some of it had to do with the fact that the bat appeared to have a military escort, which was unusual to say the least.

And it did not help that the bat had spent five minutes insisting that the ticket had been paid for by bank transfer, eventually pulling the required documentation out of thin air.

Nor the way that the bat had suddenly stopped mid-sentence to tell the military fellow escorting him to "please pass the message on to Captain Eddie when you get back that Donelly has escaped."

But the main cause for the ticket clerk's unease had been the fact that, once he had handed the bat his ticket, the bat's proof of payment had gone missing and he had been unable to find it ever since, though the payment had certainly gone through as required...

(continueing with conversation with Hondo)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Fernando: If one wanted to affect the population with drugs, why not do like the USA did in the late '80s: Paraquat the marajauna fields, and create a deadly form of artificial heroin that was around California at the time... heck- even formaldehyde in a mega ton- pot shipment; that would put a freeze on the drug market and kill off targets.
Hondo: But if one was making money, poisoning the stash would destroy the market.
Fernando: Thats the point. Why make something so strong that its poisonous.
Hondo: Most poisons put into a system at low levels, the body gets immune to it. You should know, since you can counter act tranquilizers. It would be interesting, to see you under the influence of LSD.

Fernando gives hima stern look.

Fernando: Explain.
Hondo: That certain tranquilizer you're immune to is a cure-all for LSD, Right? If you get hit with LSD...
Fernando: I dont freak out like normal people do. In fact, its no secret that this body does counter act any poison it comes in contact with. But I can take a Thorazine shot to counteract the LSD if I had too, and it would not effect me.
Hondo: What can affect you?
Fernando: I'd rather not expose my upper limits.
Hondo: Then why am I driving? What if I get hit with the stuff?
Fernando: Dont roll down your windows. Besides, I have a few Thorazine-pens for just in case.

Hondo remains quiet for the moment.

Anne knows she has gained Fernando's trust, something valuable in this business, though she really has not earned it. She determined to not loose it. Anne has a good heart; her dilemma lies in the one writing her paycheck. She recalls the meeting six months ago:

Jeanette Isabelle wrote:
Anne Rossellini and her partner Franco approach the two mice in the outdoor cafe. The gentleman mouse motions to Anne and Franco to have a seat.

Anne expresses her concern to the other mice. "Meeting like this is hardly secure."

"No place is secure. From here, at least, it will be difficult for anyone to trail us once we leave." The lady mouse hands Anne and Franco a slip of paper, folded in half. "From here on out I will contact you either by pay phone or disposable cell phone. This is the protocol we will use. Memorize it."

Anne and Franco memorize the instructions and then hands it back to the female mouse who then slides the suitcase to Anne. "This will more than cover the costs. Wait for further instructions."

Anne returns to the hospital where she was told Dr. Salvatore wanted to speak with her.

"Anne," Dr. Salvatore begins, "I recently got off the phone with Officer Guccioni. He told me what happened." Anne did not know what was said; that didn't matter. She conducted herself like a professional. Dr. Salvatore continues. "He also asked that you work with Dr. Bianchi. I have talked with Dr. Bianchi and you will work with his patients Tammy and Bink Squirrel. One final item, I understand why you had to leave; the next time you are called to fill out a witness report, let us know."

In this business Anne's youthful appearance is an asset, an asset useful in her role as an unassuming teen. "Sure thing." Anne replied. "Anything else?"

"That will do, Anne. That will do."

Anne leaves the office and meets with the unsuspecting Dr. Bianchi. "Doctor. I understand I'll be working with Tammy and Bink."

Hondo and Fernando finish up their breakfasts quickly and get ready to head out. Hondo decided that when he gets back to the truck he is goin' to use that old leather arm armor under his coat for safety sake.
"Fernando I hope you know I didn't mean anythin' by that, 'bout the LSD." Hondo said as they walked out.
"Don't worry about it." Fernando said.
"and I hope you know I wouldn't use any info against you, like the 'what can affect you,' question." Hondo said.
"I know." Fernando said. Hondo always hates it when he gets on these short answer kicks.
"So where we off to now?" Hondo asked
"you'll see." Fernando said. Hondo gave him a look.
"Get in and I'll tell you." Fernando said as he returned the look. Hondo just shook his head and got into the driver seat.

"Who are these mice," Midnight wonders as he has a look at what 'equipment' has been waiting for him at his room, "and did really anyone of us hire them? Heck, even if one of my team hired them, I wouldn't trust them blindly."

Apart from his own suitcase and leather briefcase, he finds two aluminum cases plus holding brackets for the Ducati. He carefully opens them, expecting anything from nothing to a bomb triggered by the locks, but nothing happens. The 'equipment' he finds includes several tools, a time switch, a disassembled sniper rifle with several sorts of ammo, and a lot more.

Having just arrived from the States and being six hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, he feels he cannot get any sleep soon. So he leaves the room for another walk. However, he doesn't take the front door. Instead, he heads for the bar's restrooms and climbs out of a window with the help of a rope ladder he has found in one of the aluminum cases. He removes the rope ladder, but leaves the window open. Actually, it would be impossible to shut it as he has taken the lock with him.

He heads directly for the emergency exit of the parking garage, takes a look around to see if anyone is watching, and checks the door. 'No working alarm trigger,' he concludes. 'Well, we're in Italy, so what?' He enters the garage through that door and walks to the parked Ducati which he then examines closely. Lo and behold, he discovers a GPS transmitter hidden behind the license plate and a small detonator controlled via mobile phone under the tank, right above the upright cylinder's carburetor. They are both held in place by magnets. 'It's bad enough that you're tracking me, but setting a beautiful motorcycle ablaze is a crime.' He leaves the transmitter, but takes the bomb with him in the pocket of his jacket as he returns to his room, knowing that whoever placed it there would never ignite it when he isn't riding the bike.

The early next morning sees Midnight ride the packed Ducati. And he notices an Alfa Brera behind him. So he slowly steers the motorcycle all over Milan with no recognizable destionation. As he expected, the Alfa stays behind him.

The autostrada A1 would take him directly to Rome. But he decides that it's a nice day to take a trip along the Ligurian Sea, so he takes the A7 instead. The Alfa is still there.

"Alright, you wanna play a game, huh?" Until then, he has kept a rather low speed so that the Alfa would remain behind him and not fall back. He figures that whoever sent him the bomb might also have sent the pursuers. "Okay, but here's a little change of rules!" He takes the small magnetic bomb out of his pocket and tosses it at the Alfa before he accelerates dramatically. The bomb lands on the very front of the Alfa's hood, and Midnight speeds along on the almost empty autostrada. "Catch me if you can! Oh, right, that's just a front-wheel-driven Alfa, not a Ferrari 612." About half a minute later, he notices a small explosion in his rear view mirrors.

As the bomb detonates, it unlocks the Alfa's hood which shoots upward and blocks the driver's view. With mere luck, the car evades a tank rig loaded with Diesel fuel. Leaning out of the side window, the squirrel at the wheel manages to steer it off the autostrada and park it. The pursuing vehicle is out of the game, the target is not hit at all, and all that remains is the GPS signal.


Midnight

A wrapped acorn makes its way through the mail and at the steps of the Rescue Rangers' Office. Dale pickes up the package and brings it to the public meeting area.

Chip: What is that?
Dale: Looks like somebody mailed us an acorn.
Chip: Now who would do that?

Dale unwraps the acorn.

Chip: Where is it from?
Dale: It says its from Tammy in Italy... Ooo, its big...

It was big. Like any acorn they had seen before, but at least twice the size. An attached note on the side says- "Saw this, and thought about you all! Enjoy! (Tammy)"

But there was a fine dark powder covering it. Dale wipes it with his bare hands and asks for a knife. He cuts slices from it and hands one to Chip. The dark powder covers everything.

Dale: Juicey...
Chip: I dont remember oak trees in Italy.
Dale: Sure they do. How else are squirrels and 'mucks live in Italy... And they have bigger acorns!

They start eating it. The powder gives the acorn a bit of a bitter but palletable taste. When they finished, they sit back in their chairs.

Dale: Too bad Gadget and Monty will never enjoy acorns like we do.
Chip: Thats because they are mice. They probably say the samething about us and cheese.
Dale: Yeah...

They both lean back on their chairs and sigh. In another minute they fall back on the floor, acting weird and spastic. After a while, they start to convulse. They were found like that by Gadget and Monty, being immediately sent Dr. Aiesha's office. They were comatose when they arrived.
