F.U.R. Part 3
Calvin Winsor was sitting in his office at the Pentagon, when a little beeping sound comes from his computer, "Conference Call on line 113: Omega-Delta Squad,"
The webcam turns on when he presses the 'accept' key. On the screen appears Captain David Alexander; a muscular black Wolf and captain of the Omega-Delta Team, "What is it Captain Alexander?"
He sighs, "I have unfortunately left out information about...our mission."
"What info could that be?" Winsor takes a sip of his morning coffee.
"My brother, and his two accomplices have...obtained three of our resource charges, the batteries that control different elements."
"Is that bad? Don't mind answering; you wouldn't have called if it wasn't bad, right?"
"Well," David picks up a clip board, "After our inventory search we concluded that two of them could do...some damage. but the last one..." He slams it down, making a slight cracking sound, "The Last One Is A Mind Control Device!"
"OH SHIT!" Calvin drops the porcelain cup.
"Yeah, but the worst thing is that only Jonathan, one our dead, could use it."
Winsor had made it back to his chair, "But wouldn't that be a good thing that they can't use it?"
"He Was The Only One BECAUSE He Was Mentally Unstable! And to make it worse," David re-picks up the bent clipboard, "We checked our 'High-profile' cargo, only one was that unstable."
"He would be...come on spit it out."
Shawn Bertai was rubbing the purple canister with the lovely little cloud on the front, "It has been talking to me, it says that tonight there will be a storm."
Lan and Andy look at the ferret in a fetal position, "Do you think we should have brought him along?" The Tiger shrugs his shoulders.
The lunatic raises the vial of violet energy, saying, "I cause it to rain!" at the words a dark thunder cloud covers the whole New York area.
"Amazing," The Gray Wolf gasps as the rain starts coming down, "Ether he can control weather, or," he reaches outside, the rain goes right through his hand, "Or an illusion inducer. FACINATING!"
"Lan, Should we edit our plan slightly?"
"Yes...ever so slightly the Jenga tower tilts."
The Ferret's eyes grow wide, "Oh, I love that game! Let's play it later."
A maniacal laugh leaves Lan's throat, "Yes, we will! With the souls of the DAMNED!"
"What did I sign up for?" Andy slaps his forehead.
"Team!" David calls out from his room, "We've got a situation on our hands!" Instantly, three of the four are in his room, "Where's Bones?"
The tabby cat walks into the room with a towel around his waist, "I WAS IN THE FREAKING SHOWER!!! What is it!" David gives him a stern look, and rips the towel off of him, "HEY!"
"Whoa, they ARE spiked," May mutters, blushing a little.
"I called you in here to...uh, to...you know what, you can have the towel back; you're distracting me," he throws the towel back at the cat who was fruitlessly trying to cover his junk, "I called you here because one of our enemies has the mental resource charge." There was a wave of shivers through the crew, remembering the things that would happen when Jonathan would have a compulsive mental lapse because of the drugs he was on.
"How could you just let something like this happen!" May yells out, "I mean, why keep Bones' regeneration charge under lock 'n' key, but keep a hallucinogen IN THE FUCKING OPEN!!!"
"May, I thought..."
"WELL YOU THOUGHT WRONG!!!" She storms out of the room, and a slam is heard.
"Well," David says loud enough to make May hear, "WE, as in WE ALL, will look for the location of the charge. GOT THAT LIEUTENANT MARALIN AVERY!!!" A muffled yell comes from the room.
"Ok, everyone get the tracking beacons ready for tomorrow...oh and Bones, now you can finish your shower."
"Thanks sir," Bones walks out, "Sometimes I wonder why there's a girl on our team."
A couple hours later, there was only a couple more stages for the trackers to be up and running, and that would be that they needed Lan's DNA. Pulling out his wallet, he sees a picture of when he was five. His older brother of two years had no reason to do what he did, but it was his responsibility to make sure that his execution happen; even if he was on the other end of the gun. Taking out the picture, turns it over. On the reverse was a couple strands of gray hair. When he had arrested him, he collected DNA samples for just such an occasion. Putting the hairs under the scanner's light, a pop-up timer appears on the screen of his computer.

David started to sit back, when May walks in. Her bare talons making impressions in the floor, "Uh, David do you have a moment to talk?"
He shuts the laptop, "What do you need May?"
She starts to rub her scaled legs together, "A-About what I said earlier, it was nothing. I just carried away, and..."
"Ok, ok, ok," David sputters out, rising to his feet, "What do you REALLY want?"
She closes the door behind her; looking intently into his golden-hazel eyes, "In the, best words for it, I feel...compromised. Emotionally that is. It's about the mission tomorrow."
"And you're telling me this...why?" the fiery Phoenix takes a couple steps forward, so that her and the wolf were practically a foot from each other.
"I...I think I...It's...I-It doesn't matter," May turns 180°, and head out the door. David is left standing there for a second or two in a confusing silence. Then May rushes back in, and holds him in a tight embrace. Grabbing his furry cheek bones, and passionately kissing him. After a minute she breaks the kiss, slaps him, and storms out of the room.
A very confused Alexander backs up into his chair and sits down, rubbing his red jaw, "Man, when she said 'compromised', she wasn't kidding."

When the swelling started to die down a little beep came from his laptop.
«ANALYSIS COMPLETE»
Triangles started appearing all over there virtual map; A red 'X' marking their location. Then David leaps from his chair, "It can't be..." He rushes out of the room leaving his computer open. A big fat triangle was only 300 feet from the 'X'
"Guys," The wolven Captain barks out, "They're here, I repeat; ENEMIES IN OUR PERIMETER!!!"
The four sleepy-eyed comrades rush out of their respective rooms. They rush to the door, and before David could lay a finger on the knob...
"DING-DONG"
The five stop dead it their tracks, why would they use the doorbell. Bones (Selected out) goes to the door and opens it. Standing in the doorway was Shawn Bertai, holding out a clump of Lan's hair in one hand and the Purple tube in the other.
"It told me to return it to you, so do you accept? "
They look at each other, then at the 25 year old in the cool November night.
