Picking up where we left off...

You bring your car to a screeching halt in the parking spot nearest the boys.  Brad hears 'Anodyne' and takes off running...in the opposte direction.  He's more spooked than you thought.

One good thing.  The goon squad had pulled out on to the road and are getting ready to do a U turn to come back to the Sonic.  So you have a couple of minutes.

Brad shows off his athleticism by sprinting across the parking lot.  He appears to be trying to reach the dumpster and fence that surrounds the lot.  But he's panicking.  There's not a way out that way.

Aubrey heads in his direction and gets as close as possible. She throws open the door and yells


"Brad get in. That is a dead end"

Brad isn't so stupid as to not understand what you're saying.  He stops.  Unfortunately, he's scared enough that he doesn't jump in.

You hear the squeal of tires as the Anodyne car jumps the median and tears across incoming traffic.  Sadly, you have no doubt they'll make it.

Brad leaps nervously at the sound, says Shit! and jumps in the car.

You can peel around the Sonic in a U and head back on to the main road.  There is a side entrance on to a side street.  But you've never been down it.  You have no idea where it goes.

Aubrey heads to the Sonic and known way. It was tempting at first to try to take the side entrance, but not knowing if it was a dead end or not was to much of a risk. Aubrey moves swiftly into the main road and tries to get lost in any sort of traffic she could find. She tries to consider any safe houses that might be in the area and any parking garages that they may be able to get lost in. Aubrey hits the speed dial for Bullfrog and updates him on the situation.

"You doing okay Brad? I'm going to try and get you to Bullfrog where you can have some protection. We have kind of an idea of what is going on. What is your understanding of what is going on?"

Brad stares at you as you take the exit on two wheels.  Bullfrong?  Whaddya talkin' about? Who are you?

He flinches as what is unmistakably the sound of a gun shot.  The Anodyne car has come out behind you and the guy in the passenger seat is leaning out the window and trying to shoot our your tires.

People really do that? Brad yells.

You're coming up to a traffic light that's turning yellow.  If you go straight, you can make the highway.  If you're fast enough, you'll beat the cars about to come down the cross street and put a wall of them between you and Anodyne.  But man.  That's gonna be tight.

You can make a sharp right on to Bixby.  You know Bixby pretty well.  There shouldn't be too much traffic this time of day and...isn't there a police station about five miles up Bixby that way?

Or you could try something else.

Aubrey takes a quick look at Brad, verifying that he has his seat belt on. If he does, she guns it straight trying to get to the highway and put that wall of cars between them and the goons. If Brad is still putting on the belt then she takes a sharp right and heads towards the police station. In the less it should discourage them from coming at them.

"So Brad, how 'in the know' are you to all of this? You understand what you are able to do? We might come to a situation where we might need to be creative, so it could be helpful if I understand"

You end up taking the hard right, and gunning it down Bixby towards the police station.  Maybe  you'll pass a patrol car on the way.

Brad gets thrown against his door by the sharp turn, but shrugs the belt on as you roar down the street.

I...Who are you anyway?

He flinches as the Anodyne car comes roaring around the corner after you.  Look.  I....I ...I just sometimes fall apart.  In to this...foam like stuff.  There's this voice I hear that tells me I can take over people's minds if I grab them.  But...I dunno.  I mean...Why would I wanna do that?

Please.  Do you know what all this is about?

Aubrey whips out her arm across the chest of Brad like some sort of female instinct to protect her passenger as the car makes a hard right and puts her hand back on the wheel. Speeding towards the police station Aubrey tries to think of other avenues of escape to help Brad. Some of the cops might be in the pocket of the lab so she needs to get them among numbers until Bullfrog can do his magic.


"I'm... Aubrey. My firm was hired or asked by a friend of a friend to protect Flo. In the steps in doing that we found out about both of you guys and I'm trying to make sure you have the best options possible."

Aubrey glances over at Brad and nods her head

"Yeah... I can understand not wanting to do something like that. In one case I could understand doing it to make things safe for you and love ones ,  but then there's the whole moral dilemma on freewill and where it stops. Gray areas in life..."

Aubrey sighs

"I will get into more details if we can find a safe place. Why do you think they are hunting you? And why did you feel it was best to run? Did the guy in downstairs office help or is he hunting you as well?"

Aubrey tightened her grip on the wheel determined that if they blew out her tires she would try to keep control.

"Tell me about the things he told you about your dad...."

Aubrey sighed

"Brad if they take out the car and i'm not able to protect yourself, i'm going to give you a place address to hide out at"

Aubrey tells him an address of a safe house near by.

Brad gulps, flinching as another shot rings out. The shooter is good: he only missed the tire because you banked a hard right.

He...he said my Dad wasn't my dad. That he was. That me and Flo...we were breeding stock. And...and the reason she lost the baby is because we're...brother an' sister...

There's no time to make a Chinatown reference. Up ahead is a light. It didn't used to be there. They must have installed it recently.

You won't make it. And both lanes are blocked. You can flip a U-ey, try to cut through a parking lot, take a hard turn on a side street you see coming up, or try to cut through to the left hand lanes and run through the light that way. There doesn't seem to be any oncoming traffic.

Aubrey tries to cut through on the left, hoping that there is no hidden car in oncoming traffic.

In reply to Audrey Eden Davis (msg # 14):

You see the truck coming at you, almost literally from nowhere.  It's like everything goes very still.  Brad is looking at you, saying something.  But you can't hear him.

Then the truck broadsides you on the passenger side.  Brad looks surprised.  It's the only way to describe it.  His eyes open wide.  His mouth becomes a big O.  And then he comes apart.

It really happens like that.  You know you're getting thrown against the driver's side door as the truck smashes you across the intersection.  And Brad comes apart.  Not like bloody mist apart.  He turns into bubbles.

Iridescent, silvery bubbles.  The kind you used to make with some dish detergent and a pair of Mom's old glasses.  The lenses had fallen out of them, and you would dip the frames into a bowl of sudsy water and blow bubbles.  Just like these.  The inside of the car is filled with bubbles.

The bubbles seem to eat up all the empty space in the car.  They block out your sight of everything.  The street sliding by.  The truck which is crumpling up the passenger side of your car.  Everything.

You feel something tearing.  Than the bubbles are covering you.

Wow.  I never knew it was like this. This feels...I dunno.  It's like all the tension's gone.  I don't have to worry about any of it anymore.

You tried to help, didn't you?  I'm sorry it didn't work out too well.  But I really do appreciate it.  I think those Anodyne guys wouldn't have been nice to me.  If they had gotten their hands on me.

So what I was telling you in the car.  My Dad isn't my Dad.  Flo's Dad was.  At least that's what Flo's Dad told me.  He and my Dad were working on something.  I don't get the science behind it.  But me an' Flo were supposed to be breeding stock for it.  We couldn't grow up together so people wouldn't find out we were related.  Our parents were always pushing us towards each other.  Now I know why.

There's a folder.  My Dad would bring home a folder from work.  And when he did, he'd take my temperature and weigh me and stuff.  The folder had a name on it.  Project Clean.  If there's anything to be found out, maybe it's there.  I dunno.

What do me and a pimple have in common?  We're both gonna pop.

Yeah.  I didn't think that was funny either.  But I've never been good at jokes an' stuff.

Will you tell Flo I'm sorry.  And that I hope she ends up happy.  And that I really do think she's great.

I don't know what else to say.  I don't think there really is anything else to say.


You open your eyes.  Rob is standing over you.  Above him is a white ceiling.  He's working on a beard.  Doesn't look like he's shaved for five or so days.

Bree!  Calm down!  You're okay!  Calm down.  Can you hear me?

This must be a hospital.  You feel a little weak.  And the top and back of your head are itchy.

It happened so fast and almost like it was a dream. More like a nightmare. A nightmare where you review how you epically failed in helping someone. Aubrey took a second to respond to Rob because she was reliving what had happened some time period ago. She could almost see herself turn towards Brad, wanting with everything that was in her to help him. Help him to be taken to safety and ultimately giving the rights that non meta's took for granted.

Aubrey wanted to save the bubbles, to have him reattach and come out on the other side more experienced in what he was and able to do. She felt that he did something to help her in the accident and all she did was get him to die. Would it have been better to have been captured and rescued?

Aubrey gasped

"Brad...don't die...." As she jolted to the current and reached for Rob's hand. Aubrey tries to focus on Brad's face

"what?.... where am I? I thought you were with a client? How is Alex? How long have I been out? What..."

Okay.  Easy.  Calm down.  You've got some staples in the back of your head.  Go easy on 'em.  Rob lays a hand on your shoulder, gently pushing you back down.  He swallows in a dry throat.

It's been three days since your accident.  You remember anything from it?

He reaches over to the side table and pours you a glass of water.  Your throat feels really dry.

You got out of it pretty alright.  There's a nasty gash on the back of your head.  But they think your head is okay inside.  The scans all came back clear.  You got some bumps and bruises.  Your car is totaled.  Bree.  What happened?

Aubrey looked around the room looking for any marker that said she was at a hospital and not at the labs. Hearing Rob's question she nodded her head and regretted the action.

"Some"

Aubrey reaches up to touch her head to see how much they had to shave. Taking a sip of her water she answers the question with a question.

"What is being said? I'd rather debrief were we can't be heard"

Rob sighs and rubs his eyes.  You're fine if you're thinking like that, he mumbles.

He looks back at you with a weary smile.  The cops want to talk to you.  It was reported you were being chased by a car that was firing shots.  I got reports from your team.  So I can pretty much guess what happened.  I don't know where the client is though.  So we'll need to talk about that.  Later.  Once I've swept the room for other ears.

He leans back. We need to think of a cover story about the wreck.  You want me to do that?  Or you feel up to it?  Then you'll need to talk to the cops.

Also, your...boyfriend has been calling non-stop.  You have the right to date who you want.  But a meta?  Anyway.  It's not like I'm in a spot to judge.

I have Vic doing surveillance.  Though what to look for is kind of beyond us.  We'll let the Doctor decide if you're fit enough to return to the case.  And no.  You won't argue with me on that.

But before all that, who's Brad? You were saying his name in your sleep.

Aubrey leaned back against the pillow getting a mischievous grin when Rob talked about her boyfriend calling him non stop. She waits till Rob did his sweep for any listening devices in the room and only after does Aubrey start her conversation

"Play some music and sit close to me. I'll tell you what has happened so far"

Aubrey waits for every possible way to interfere with any listening devices has been deployed, hinting at her walking a fine line of diligent and paranoid. She starts at the beginning and catches Rob up with almost everything. She does not tell him about the folder. She'll give that detail in house.

"Where is my phone? and who got me to the hospital? I'm fine with you coming up with a cover story, unless this is going to cause you more stress. You look like hell... and that is me being kind. I think we can stall a little with the cops, if that is the direction... you know , Head wound. But we may need to call the lawyer and find out what is the best course for helping flo and keeping us legally safe. Did BullFrog call?

Rob listens, sighing a lot, and hands you your phone.  I'll handle the cover story.  You best call the lawyer.  She may not answer me if she doesn't know my voice.

You aren't exactly giving Scarlett Johanson a run for her money right now either. Yuck.


Rob chuckles than looks puzzled. Wait.  I thought Bullfrog was your boyfriend...

Your phone shows Vic calling a few times the day the accident would have occurred. Then several from Rob and Vic.

And then Bullfrog.  Lots of Bullfrogs.

Not a single call or text from Charlie though.

"you're just jealous cause you'll never be as beautiful as me "

Aubrey sticks out her tongue and rolls her eyes. It felt good to kind of disappear into something else rather than the here and now. It didn't last long, looking at her phone she looks for the number for the lawyer

"Bullfrog is a friend.... um... over these last few days have you heard anything about Condor?"

Aubrey scrolls over to Charlie profile on her phone and checks to see that he had read her text.  Her first call should be to Condor/Charlie, but she was feeling a little hurt that he hadn't checked on her. Was she being childish? Would he have known....

 With a heavy sigh she calls Bullfrog, knowing that he had called a lot and showed her some friendly concern. Then she would call the lawyer and after that she would check on Condor.

In reply to Audrey Eden Davis (msg # 22):

Well, good to know you're alive, Bullfrog sounds fairly relieved.  Sorry for the barrage of calls.  But I wanted to get a hold of you, especially since all hell broke loose.  Also, I tend to butt dial alot because of all the hopping.

Anyway,
  his tone becomes more business like.  First, Flo is fine.  We moved her to Invincible HQ.  Right after you went AWOL a couple of meta-mercs made a raid on Lillian's office.  She's okay.  But they busted up the place pretty bad.  I got there too late.  The past couple of days have been me trying to track those two down.  We've...uh...'met' a few times since.

But the really bad news is Anodyne has filed papers with the court demanding custody of Flo.  They're trying a roundabout angle though:  Flo's mother was found dead and a board director of Anodyne has produced a will from her giving him custody of Flo in case of her demise.

Lillian is fighting it.  But Anodyne has filed a motion with the Court to have Flo produced for physical and psychiatric evaluation.  It's a pretty typical maneuver.  But once Flo's out in the open, we expect the two metas will try to make a grab for her.

We really need some leverage against Anodyne.  Has your investigation turned up anything?


Lillian is out of pocket.  You leave a message.

Condor/Charlie read your last text four days ago.  But no response.  He doesn't respond to your text now.  It's still unread when you check again an hour later.

Aubrey sighed

"It might be the medication...but you know I didn't go AWOL, I was in a coma for three days after I got shot at, had an accident and just woke up. I just figured that you were calling me back from my numerous calls to you...That might sound crankier than I meant."

Aubrey paused

"I might have something to check out. Is there a date on the appearance?"
