A Life Left Behind.

[Tactical Nightmare]

0400 Hours GC time- Gran Canaria spaceport

Angelina stepped into the cargo hoist that then lifted her up to the waiting bay of the Archangel Research, The rising sun over the mountains gleamed off the sloped roofs of the city, and off the snow capping the mountains.... The Vurelian Enclave was somewhere out there, could they help? Probably not. This wasn't a threat to Gran Canaria, just to Tobias and her. They hadn't heard from Jimmy in a while, he was missing, no help there. And... and He wouldn't help, He might even have something to do with this. She sighed, Stepping off the cargo hoist into the bay itself. The large cargo pods loomed over her in the echoing, cavernous room. She followed the lines painted on the floor, took a hallway to a lift then took the lift to the bridge. Because the ship was preparing for a return to space, the bridge was bustling with activity, white suited scientists like herself rushing back and forth with data-pads clutched to their chests. Grey suited crewmen, not involved with the research potion of the ship's operation, were operating the navigational, system monitoring and communications equipment, and getting in the scientist's way.

[color=#000000] Keel saw her pass and fell in behind her, leaving his post as communications chief in the hands of crewman Mary Haner. "[color=#00ae00]I've just run a check, He's not in any of his safehouses."

[color=#000000] "[color=#6b2394]It took [color=#6b2394]that long?"

[color=#000000] "[color=#00ae00]Yeah, He's got a lot of them."

[color=#000000] Angelina headed for the door to Tobais's office, directly off the bridge, to allow the captain quick access. She unlocked the door with the key card that only she and Tobias had, the door opened and admitted them. Angelina flicked on the lights, Illuminating a large wrap-around wooden desk with a comfortable looking chair behind it. Monitors lined the wall, most of them displaying various readings from around the ship, but one medium sized one on his desk was cycling through pictures, Most of them of Angelina herself or her and Tobias. Angelina blinked and turned to the task at hand.

[color=#000000] "[color=#6b2394]Well, what did you want to look for, John?[color=#000000]" She asked.

[color=#000000] "[color=#00ae00]We need to find out who, where and what his last job was for, god knows that it's probably the cause behind what's going on.[color=#000000]" He said, sitting in the chair and accessing the computer. "[color=#00ae00]God, This is a mess, Hasn't he ever heard of C-cleaner?[color=#000000]"

[color=#000000] "[color=#6b2394]I don't think so, He's never been a computer type.[color=#000000]" She replied, Opening a drawer . "[color=#6b2394]And I doubt you'll find his files there, He hides them well.[color=#000000]" She opened a folder then swore in a low voice. "[color=#6b2394]God, I can't believe he actually reads all this crap. I even use a template to make my reports on the reactor. And he reads every one word for word.[color=#000000]"

[color=#000000] "[color=#00ae00]What's his password?[color=#000000]" Asked Keel, Not paying attention.

[color=#000000] "[color=#6b2394]My name, Duh.[color=#000000]" Replied Angelina.

[color=#000000] "[color=#00ae00]Oh, right...[color=#000000]" Said Keel, Typing the password in. "[color=#00ae00]Oh what the hell, He's got a password for his [color=#00ae00]normal[color=#00ae00] documents, and he's got a 59 digit combination for his protected files.[color=#000000]"

[color=#000000] "[color=#6b2394]He's a bit paranoid, he was an assassin after all.[color=#000000]" Said Angelina.

[color=#000000] "[color=#00ae00]Yeah, I wish I could be sure I remember his last hit, I [color=#00ae00]think[color=#00ae00] it was the BPA guy who was assisting Gaian animal smuggling, but I'm not sure.[color=#000000]" Said keel, leaning back in the comfy chair, he looked at Angelina. She was staring at a monitor, currently displaying a double portrait of Tobias and herself, tears dripping off her sculpted nose.

[color=#000000] Keel had never been good with the bleeding heart variety of person. Though he liked her, Angelina was nothing if not that. He was worried about Tobias too, but more angry than worried. He patted her on the back awkwardly. "[color=#00ae00]Angelina, did Tobias ever tell you what his last job was? Was it the BPA officer?[color=#000000]"

[color=#000000] Angelina wiped her eyes on her sleeve and looked at him. "[color=#6b2394]No, T-Tobias didn't tell you?[color=#000000]"

[color=#000000] "[color=#00ae00]Tobias doesn't talk about that anymore, not to me anyway.[color=#000000]" Said Keel, staring at the Angelina. "[color=#00ae00]Wait, You're telling me that he took someone down [color=#00ae00]after[color=#00ae00] he retired?![color=#000000]"

[color=#000000] Angelina shifted uncomfortably. "[color=#6b2394]I... I guess so.[color=#000000]"

[color=#000000] "[color=#00ae00]Well who was it, And who paid him?[color=#000000]"

[color=#000000] Angelina stayed silent, looking away.

[color=#000000] "[color=#00ae00]Angelina, If we're going to find him we need to know this stuff.[color=#000000]" Keel admonished.

[color=#000000] " [color=#6b2394]I know... it's just... Personal, is all.[color=#000000]"

[color=#000000] "[color=#00ae00]Personal? No way, That's not how He works.[color=#000000]"
