To shake off potential pursuers even though he can't see any, Midnight quickly leaves the road and rides through the forests near Nemi. The Ducati is far from being a dirt bike, but there are paths in the forests, and they are maintained and kept free of fallen trees and the like.

In the middle of the forest, he stops, shuts the engine down, and takes his phone. He dials, and someone answers.

"Rescue Rangers Headquarters, Gadget speaking."

"Hi Gadget, here's the Mouse in Black. Was that your great idea to hire these folks that... you know what they did?"

"You mean the car, the bike, the..."

"Shhh! I don't know if this connection is safe. So whose idea was it?"

"It was Monty's idea. He said he knew these people from long ago, an organization that helped him and Dad, and that he and Dad helped in return."

"Ah. Then tell him something. Things have changed, and they tried to double-cross me."

"Double-cross?"

"Yup. They tried to blast half of the bike. They did blast my room, albeit without me in it. I got away with the equipment and the bike."

"Golly..."

"It's not all bad. I actually allowed the second explosion to happen to have them think I'm dead. But why them and not the RAS?"

"The RAS is underequipped. They can pull off simple rescue and supply missions with their equipment, but to fight a civil war and do undercover work requires a lot more, and these people have it."

"Anyway, can you ask the RAS to get me a room near my destination, maybe also some cover-up such as another ID, and tell the rest of my team I'm on my way?"

"Sure."

"Then hurry up. I wanna be there before they find out there's no corpse in that room."

"Oh, er, where are you right now?"

"I'm halfway to my destination, surrounded by a lot of wood."

"Good. Await further information soon." She hangs up.

A few minutes later, Midnight receives a mail. He opens it and finds a map attached to it. It shows the forest and a nearby cottage. 'Does she want me to go there?'

To be safe, Midnight pulls a wooden box out of his brief-case. He opens it and takes a handgun out of it which he loads with tranq darts. 'Thanks a lot, Nando. This thing might save me.' The gun is stuffed into his jacket.

He proceeds through the forest towards the cottage, pushing the bike to stay quiet. Finally, he reaches the cottage and knocks on the door. A dark gray mouse in all green clothes opens. "Good morning," he greets Midnight, "how can I help you?"

"I was told to come here, Signor..."

"Da Silva. Giacomo da Silva, Rescue Aid Society, Italian branch. Come in, I think I can guess what brought you here."

Midnight enters and is offered a seat in an armchair.

"I hope you folks are aware of the dangerous mission you're on," Giacomo goes on. "Well, the RAS can't do much to help..." He is interrupted by his phone ringing.

He picks up the wireless phone. "Yes?... Yes, he's here in my cottage. ... We'll take care of this, don't worry, Miss Hackwrench. ... Okay, hear you later."

"You did have to say her name, did you?" Midnight criticized. "What if your phone line is tapped?"

"These people are good," Giacomo responds, "but they're not good enough to tap satellite phone lines. Anyway, what I can do is get you to Nemi and offer you my guest room to stay."

"What about a hotel room directly in Nemi?" Midnight suggested. "You might have heard of the explosion in that hotel in Rome..."

"...with which you should be killed, yes, I'm informed about all this. How did you get away, by the way?"

"The bomb was installed in the TV. It was set to explode when I switch the TV on. I simply put a time switch into the power line and turned it into a time bomb. They should think I was killed in that explosion. Whoever they are."

"A Mafia-like organization. With connections to an obscure secret society which almost went down in the mid-90s, and paid by the LSD traffickers. They control the firefighters in that district of Rome, too. Which means they will know by now that you weren't in the room when the bomb exploded, and that you're still alive."

"Did you say, 'paid by the LSD traffickers?' As in when the LSD pushing is shut down, so are they?"

"Probably, but that won't be too easy to do. Not even for you guys."

Midnight unloads the tranq gun and puts it back into the box. "Say, you seem to know a lot about this case. And it's not common for the RAS to use satellite phones."

"Oh, that, yes. I felt that Italy was in a situation that required me to have connections to some additional agencies apart from the RAS. CIA, Interpol, Europol, whatever you need. I'm relaying whatever intell is necessary to the RAS so we can operate safely. That's one of the reasons why I'm hiding in this forest. And if I may give you a good advice, you'd better stay here, too, instead of getting yourself a hotel room."

"But what if I'm being followed on my way back here?"

"Then the followers will be taken care of."


Midnight

(Back at the hospital)

Fernando reenters the room with Marco.

Fernando: Why would you want to join on such a dangerous mission, especially in the shape you are in?!!
Tammy: Look, its no secret that I'm probably the laughing stock of Section 2, because I wont let my sister shoot her gun or kill other people.
Marco: Aint that truth, Jose was the same way for a while in the beginning...
Fernando: Marco... (then he turns to Tammy) So? Even a pacificist has their place in war.
Tammy: No, Marco is right. Something has to change, before I get killed off in some mission, so if I get killed, it would be killed fighting back.
Fernando: Tammy... once you kill somebody, you will be forever changed. Dont go down that road unless you really have too.
Tammy: I'm already down that road, and now that they tried to kill me, I have to dosomething about it or else...
Fernando: Or else what?
Tammy: Or else hide like some fraidy squirrel and cry for momma! (She starts crying.)

Fernando waits until she calms down a bit.

Tammy: I have to make some changes, and have to do them now.
Fernando: Give yourself sometime to heal first.
Tammy: How long you want me to wait? A week? A month? A Year?
Fernando: 2 days.
Marco: What?
Fernando: 2 days, at least out of the hospital since its so depressing here, but enough to get your shot up nerves a chance to normalize themselves. That super strong coffee I gave you was just to wake them up, but you are still not 100%. Neither is Bink.
Marco: What do you suggest?
Fernando: I got a hotel room here in town, we can gothere for now and themmove into the Roman Safe house afterwards. During that time- you and Bink have a lot of excersises to do- coordination and reflex excersises. I'll be back, I have to go find Dr. Bianchi.

Fernando picks up the stuffed squirrel Marco left for Tammy earlier and tosses it lightly at her chest. She misses in catching it as it bounces off her chest and onto her lap. Fernando shakes his head as he walks away to go find Dr. Bianch.

Hondo had been in to check on Tammy and Bink a few time since he had arrived, but just for a look see. He had been busy lookin' 'round and keepin' his eyes open for trouble as well as revamping the truck Marco had got for him. Fernando got word to him that he was movin' Tammy and Bink to the safe house where he was at, so Hondo made preparations accordingly.

When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction. ImageIf you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

"Tammy, Bink, how are you two doing today?" Anne asked, as she comes in.

"Excuse me," Tammy begins, sounding concerned, "I was told you are actually not a candy striper."

Anne skips with the dumb teen act. "I've worked here for five month; how long I worked here is not what's important. When you told Fernando what had happened, he did not know what person you were referring to. He was being cautious and rightfully so."

"You know Fernando?" Tammy asked.

"Fernando and I have a bit of a history."

"All right. As a hospital volunteer you have no right to our hospital records."

"I did not access your hospital records. I happen to know you work for the SWA."

"Who do you work for?" Tammy continues.

"I am a freelancer who has a real concern for all the kids in the SWA."

"So you have worked with the SWA?"

"I have not."

"With Fernando then?"

"Yes, I have helped him out."

"Fernando could not have told you Bink and I got here."

"He has not. It's like this. I know about you and other members of the SWA. I have also met Bink, Jose and even Claes."

"All right. You happen to work here and you recognized our names . . . you took the opportunity to do some digging, though not through hospital records."

"Information is available if you know the right people."

"As a freelancer you happen to know the right people."

Anne nods.

"A few days ago you mentioned a chance encounter." Bink pointed out.

"Yes, and there was another encounter as well."

Bink does not remember Anne from any encounter. Bink reads Anne's name tag; the name does not mean anything to her at this time.

Anne goes to Bink's bed. "I will be frank, I do not trust the SWA for the way they conduct their business. Nevertheless, they have given you and four other girls a second chance at life. I sincerely wish you and your friends well."

Sometime after Anne left, Fernando returned.

"Fernando." Tammy begins. "Do you know Anne? A short, read hair mouse."

"I know her."

"Is she in the same business as you?"

"You could say that." Fernando answered.

"The hospital volunteer I told you about the other day was here a little while ago. She says she knows you. I was just checking."

"She has been here for five months."

"Fernando. Do you know what's she's up to?"

"No I don't." Fernando answered. "Why?"

"When I first met her she behaved like the typical teenager. Today when she mentioned that she knew Bink and I are with the SWA, she conducted herself like a mature adult though she looks a bit young to be an adult. She met Bink and Jose once in Rome and again somewhere else. She indicated she did not work for any organization, I guess that is another way of saying she is a gun for hire." Tammy collects her thoughts. "If that lady has been volunteering at a hospital for five months under the rouse she is a teenager, someone must have hired her for an intelligence mission. If that is the case, why a small town hospital of all places?"

Fernando was pleased that Tammy was putting her detective skills to use however he did not have an answer for her.

Fernando: Look Tammy. I'll be back with some clothes for you and Bink to change into. I have to get them first. You and AlexII have a talk.
Tammy: Whats wrong with the clothes we have?
Fernando: They were burned... Too covered with ponk muck, lake mud, in short, after the doctors cut you and Bink out of them, they were deemed as Harzardous Medical Waste. Look... I'll just pick up the the basics under things in white, and what can pass for normal for a lass of your ages. I'll be back.
Tammy: But...
Fernando: I already know your sizes.
Tammy: Huh? How!

Fernando leaves the room. After signing the release papers with Dr. Bianchi, he leaves to a local clothing store where he pickes up some jeans and things a Hanes Her Way in white for the two of them.

Meanwhile back at the hospital...

Tammy: I just wanted to know more about the candystripper...
AlexII: Hello Cuz!

A chipmunk entered Tammy's room - a stranger with a face that reminded one a little of Chip and a little of Dale...

"Tammy. I am glad to notice that you are awake and apparently well. Hello, Alex."

Tammy frowned at the chipmunk. The voice was familiar, but... "Do I know you?"

"My apologies - you had not yet seen this form." Making sure to stand where anyone outside in the corridor could not see him, the AI changed back to it's usual bat shape.

"Oh, it's you. I didn't know you could change yourself like that."

"My body is merely a projection. I change what I project, and I change what you see." In a moment, it took on the shape of Tammy, then of Fernando, then of Alex II, before returning to it's own chipmnk shape. "I'm also very hard to injure. If you ever need my help, please, send me an email."

There weren't that many clothing stores in Nemi, not the ones that Fernando would consider for Tammy and Bink's style. He had to drive back to Rome, though missing out on a couple of shopping malls along the way. Once back in Rome, Fernando went to the Macy's Department, and bugdetted himself to $200 (175Euros) for various items for Tammy and Bink. He ended up spending just twice that much for the each of them; shopping for a couple of ladies can be expensive.

His list consisted of:

For Tammy-
1 pair of low-heeled dress shoes
1 pair of white nikee sneakers
1 pair of stockings.
1 pair of sweat sox
1 pack of (3) Hanes-Her-Way Panties and bras
1 pack of (3) Hanes T-shirts
(Packs could not be openned or separated)
1 pair of jeans
1 flannel shirt
1 "little red satin dress"
1 "little black satin dress"
1 pair of Ray-Ban sun glasses.
1 make up kit with the basics: eyeliner, foundation, lipstick
1 Excersise Gym Bag to carry everything in.

For Bink-
1 pair of 'Buster Brown' Penny loafers
1 pair of White Nikee Sneakers
1 pair of stockings
1 pair of knee-hi stockings
1 pair of sweat sox
1 pack of (3) Hanes-Her-Way Girls Panties
1 pack of (3) Hanes T-shirts
(Packs could not be openned or separated)
1 pair of jeans
1 white shirt
1 school-type dress uniform
1 pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses
1 back pack to carry everything in.

On the way back to the car, Fernando picks up a large cup of Pistasio Ice cream for Bink, along with a late lunch meal of roast beef sandwiches and coffee for the three of them. He unpacks the clothing and neatly stuffs them into each bag to their approprieate owner. Openning the door, he tosses the bags to the front passenger seat in his Porsche 928, before climbing in himself. He hurriedly drove back to Nemi. Along the way, while waiting for the traffic to clear up, Fernando makes a couple of phone calls: first the the SWA Section 2 and the other to Maco.

The SWA Section 2 phone call was short, asking about the status of Bink and her equipment (car, weapons, training gear), and was told that everything was not repairable was replaced. The phone call to Marco proved even stranger. It seems that even though the Rescue Rangers saved their hydes over 1/2 a year ago, some wounds do not heal quickly. This worried Fernando, because of all of the SWA Section 2 who he thought had a grudge against him, it would have been Jean. But in only meeting with 1 of the members of Section 2, its hard to say of the others share in the same conclusionary emotions.

'Spy Game... if it were not for them, I would have lead a very boring life...' Fernando thinks to himself. As soon as the traffic clears on the high way, Fernando takes to the middle lane and stomps on his gas pedal. The needles lean towards the right as he drives down the road at speeds twice the legal limits. He gets to his destination in less than 1/2 an hour later. Due to his long time in getting there and shopping around, everyone had left earlier.

Fernando had to stare down a few of the staff as he entered the ward and then the room where Tammy and Bink were. Walking to each bed, he gently tosses the bag to them. They both open them to examine the contents. Fernando reaches over and closes the curtains around the bed.

Fernando: Ladies- dont put on the fancy stuff for now. Just the jeans and shirt with the sneakers will do.
Tammy: Fernando?

Fernando places a brown paper bag, taking out a sandwich and coffee for himself.

Fernando: I'm not going to answer anything right now. Just put on the clothes so we can get out of here immediatey. I'll be outside so you two wont be distrubed. By the way- there is some lunch and dessert in there for you two. Hope you dont mind Roast beef sandwiches and Pistasio Ice Cream.
Bink: Ice Cream?!!
Fernando: Only after you put on the clothes and eat the sandwich first.

Fernando turns away to step out from the curtain. He then walks to the far end of the room where he places his American Arms .45 on a small table and sits by the table to have lunch. As he eats, Dr. Bianchi steps into the room and head to their curtian enclosed beds.

Fernando: I would not go there.

Dr. Bianchi turns around to Fernando.

Dr.Bianchi: And why not?
Fernando: They are changing into some clothes that I bought for them.
Dr. Bianchi: So? I'm a Doctor.

Dr. Bianchi turns back and takes a step to the bed. Upon his first foot step landing, he hears the sound of an automatic weapon being readied. He turns around slowly, finding Fernando aiming his AA .45 at him

Fernando: I said that the ladies are in there changing. Anything you have to ask will have to wait until they are done.
Dr. Bainchi: I see. You know I'm going to have to report this to the Chief.
Fernando: Look you, we may share the same first name, but you dont have my Spanish Royal Attitude. Now, I'm going to tell you this once and only once. Once they are dressed and ready to go- we are going to the Roman Safe house, where they will finish their rest and start training for this new mission. Until then... like Greta Garbo used to say, "We Like To Be Left Alone..."... This is no longer a safe haven anymore, and the sooner I get them out of here, the better. Capeesh?!!
Dr. Bianchi: The Roman Safe House?
Fernando: Not your safe house, but my former agency's safe house. I will have Marco driven there, I have a lot of questions to ask.
Dr. Bianchi: Questions?
Fernando: Questions for him to answer, not you. Now, if there anything I can help you with?
Dr. Bianchi: No...
Fernando: Good. Then leave.

Dr. Bianchi walks out of the room and can be heard walking down the hall. Tammy and Bink step out from the curtain, with bags in tow.

Fernando: You girls ready?
Tammy: What was that all about?
Fernando: Now is not the time or place to be asking questions. Lets leave while we're still alive.

His tone of voice made Tammy realize not to ask any more questions. From this point, she hears and obeys without question, if only for the moment. They walk out of the room, fernando tells the guards to continue guarding the (empty) room and make it look like somebody is still in there. Soon they were in the parking lot, and they climb into his black Porsche 928. He puts the car into gear and slowly drives away. Once on the highway, Fernando tells them as to where they are going, or where they are not going.

Fernando: Tammy, I have to be honest with you on one thing.
Tammy: Whats that?
Fernando: We are not going to the Roman Safe House.
Tammy: Then where are we going?
Fernando: Someplace else, but someplace you had been to before.
Tammy: Where would that be?
Fernando: You will know when we get there. Right now, I cant say or do anything.

Hondo had finished the modifications to the truck and had tested it and was happy with its performance. He loaded it up with his gear in case he needed to leave in a hurry. Hondo stopped by the computer room and told CCC he was goin' out to watch at the hospital for a while. He hopped in the truck and took off, usin' backroads and going the wrong way several time, in case he was followed. Hondo made it too the hospital just as Fernando was loadin' the gals into his Porche . Hondo knew somethin' was up as Fernando was suppose to call him first before they loaded up. Fernando took off in a huury and Hondo jumped onto his tail. the Speedometer on the truck only read 120, but it could now double that easily. as they hit the straight-a-ways the truck bounced along behind Fernando, at a safe distance, at a speed close to 120mph and at time exceedin'.

Hondo

OCC: sorry I've not been doin' much lately. Been really busy with real life.

There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction. ImageIf you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

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 receives a call on her cell phone. She checks the caller I.D. It's a pay phone. "Anne speaking." She answers. A few seconds later she gets out a pad and pen and scribbles down a number. "Got it." Anne remains quiet as she receives further instructions followed by a pause on the other end.

"Got it." Anne hangs up her cell phone.

Flying was not so bad when you were in control of the aircraft.....

Rose thinks to herself as she piloted Hondo's foldable helicopter across the landscape. Now....where were they? Ah yes! Fernando's Porsche fairly flew along the road as Hondo's truck kept good pace behind. Rosie fought to keep up with them without flying past. But....how to land this contraption.

She wasn't sure she could do it, but Rose brought the copter down smoothly into the back of Hondo's truck. Just as she landed she noticed his surprised expression as he glanced in the rearview. She shut off the motor and managed to crawl from the helicopter through the back window of the truck and into the seat, hanging on for dear life the whole time.

"Hey Rosie. Decided to join us?" Hondo asked in his usual unruffled manner.

"Well, you know when there's an adventure to be had I just can't stay away." she smirked.
