Kitka remained where she was, and didn't have to use her powers for the rest of the conversation. Danny was learning quickly that it would not be in his interest to lie again. After he had finished listing his powers, Faust smiled and stood up.

"My boss will be very happy to hear this," he replied, heading for the door where Kitka joined him.

"We'll have you out of here in no time, Danny-boy, just sit tight."

As they left the room, silence swamped him, and he was left alone in the shipping container. But before too long, perhaps ten minutes, unseen vents opened and gas began to filter into the room. Within minutes, if he breathed the gas in, he would be unconscious again.

((Sorry for not posting sooner, work caught up on me again.))

After thinking and eating Jack came to an interesting idea for the radio transmitter. After a few hours of playing around he had reincorporated the transmitter into his rather unassuming watch, making sure to set in a second switch to be pressed at the same time to avoid any unwanted pressing of the button. After a long days work, Jack made his way to bed, settling in for a night of sleep.

Danny saw the two leave, and he tried to regain his composure. Sniffling, he sat up straight, stopping his tears. He waited for several minutes, and he began growing I patient. But then, air vents opened, letting gas enter the room. He saw as it surrounded him, and he held his breath. He did it for as long as he cold, but he just had to breath. He gasped for air, and then the gas entered his lungs, and he knew no more.

Waking up in the park, Stephanie and Danny were slumped against each other like a pair of romantics simply enjoying the summer sun. Not more than ten minutes ago they had been placed there, before some of the bosses men made themselves scarce.

Sitting between the two of them was a simple letter. When opened, it would read:

We hope you enjoyed the little nap, and the scenic view on wake up. You are free to go about your lives, but please do not mistake our kindness, you will have eyes upon you for when you are of use to us in the future. We have installed some insurance upon yourselves, just in case.

Melody didn't know what to do with herself, her boyfriend was in critical condition something bad was going on there. So she knew she couldn't stop her job, so she went home to get changed in her gear and began to do her rounds, staying out of the public eye wasn't all that hard to do. Since she knew how to blend in well.

Jack woke slowly, his eyes looking to the bedside table where his cell phone was buzzing, grabbing it he looked at the number and answered.

"Hey Jimbo, you got my story right?"

After a few more minutes of discussion with his editor, and letting him know he intended to follow this story and a few other threads he'd picked up Jack hung up the phone. Crawling out of bed Jack slowly got himself together, heading down to a nearby local diner for breakfast. After a sarcastic greeting from the regular waitress he sat down with a paper and a cup of coffee while his regular order was made. He made front page, not top story since that went to the foiled bank robbery from earlier in the day, but bottom half wasn't too shabby either. After a nice relaxing breakfast Jack made his way to his car, giving Detective Logan a ring to see if there were any updates to the case. After getting a few 'nothing I can divulge at the moment' statements he set the cell in the passenger seat. He knew the cops had something, probably from the license plate numbers he had given them, but it wasn't terribly simple or the case would have probably been closed or in the process of closing.

After some thought Jack decided to hit a few more contacts to run down the sparse leads he had, perhaps something would come through for him.

Danny slowly opened his eyes, and for a moment, he thought last night had all been a dream, and that he was safe home in his bed. But then when he saw he was on a park bench, slumped against Stephanie, reality hit him. He tried to hold back a few tears, and then he felt Stephanie stir. As she straightened up, Danny saw a letter on the bench for them. He opened it, read his contents, and fumed with anger. He wanted to tear the letter, but didn't. He set it down after crumpling it, and stood up, stretching his limbs. The sunlight was giving him energy, and he absorbed it greedily. He was going to comb the city, looking for the people who did this to him. No when he did, he would make them pay.

Nothing.

After a day of trying to find anything he could for leads that was all he had, nothing.
Zip, zero, zilch, nada. Jack sighed sitting in his car, trying to relax a moment. He decided later that night he would be using his technical know how to try and pull up some leads, until then he decided it was time to grab a bite to eat and hopefully find out things were going well elsewhere.

A little later on Jack was finishing a fast food burger as he made his way to the hospital parking lot. Pulling in he gathered his trash so he could toss it in the trash can at the front doors. Going in he headed upstairs to check on the downed policeman, hoping that he would be alright, and holding out a little hope that he would be out of his coma, and able to take a few questions.

He was reliving the shooting, the shots that tore into his body, for some reason the soothing calmness of darkness had been replaced with this, he had no idea why, but then again his mind could not function properly and that irritated him, until the first shots rang out and his mind recoiled as the pain slammed into him again. A beeping noise entered into the frame and he tried to focus on it, the sound grew and grew, becoming louder and he started to realize he could feel a sheet over his legs, his arms seperated from his body by something. He struggled with this thought, holding onto the feelings and then his eyes finally obeyed his mind and opened, closed and blinked open again. The room was dimly lit, but still it hurt his eyes, it took a while for his eyes to adjust and finally he started to see clearly, he was in a hospital bed. Slowly the events unfolded in his mind as did a cough which grew in his chest. He couched, the sound loud in the empty room, but it helped. He looked at his arms, they did not listen to him yet, he wondered if they ever will. The door opened and he looked as a person slipped inside, it wasn't a nurse, it sure wasn't Melody. His mind tensed, but his body refused to do anything.

She was told Dave would never wake up and the information broke her heart, everything was just to much for her. But his family kept him on life support hoping he would come around, now she didn't have anyone to keep her good. She ran out of the hospital as her rage took hold of her, she decided to talk with her new reporter friend and she left a message for him to call her cell phone, she waited for his call while she just sat at home in the dark, crying unsure what to do with herself.
