While Nic and Hilda were out shopping for he what not that was need for the ship, Nic kept getting a feeling that people were staring at her. Normally she was used to a few people here and there staring at her, but when everyone stops and stares that is just weird. It had been about an hour or so of shopping and her arms were staring to get tierd this has to be over soon she thought to herself.
"Ah here we are the last store you can wait out here it won't take me long." Hilda said walking away into the store. Nic sighed and place down all the bags while taking a seat on the ground near the entrance to the store, keeping her head down to avoid all of the people staring at her. Closing her eye's she tried to think of something besides the people around her when she heard a sort of stomping like noise in front of her. Lifting her head and opening her eye's she was surpreised to see two men standing infront of her with dark glasses and suits on.
"Excuse me but are you Nicole...Sohn?" one of the men asked while reading of what looked to be a polaroid picture.
"Who cares to know?" Nic asked getting ready to bolt out of the area.
"You'll see who would like to know in a moment now stand up we don't want to make anymore of a scene here." said the other man while the first handed him the picture.
"Let's go." They both said grabbing her arms and dragging her down an empty alley way and opened a rusty door. The inside was dark and the floor craked making Nic trip alot while they walked inside. The one man who still had the picture or man two as Nic liked to think of them, by the order they spoke to her, stayed by the door while man one walked her foward a little more.
"Ah I was wondering when you two oafs would find her." a voice said from the darkness. Man one moved away to turn on a light the flooded only one third of the room with a dim yellow light.
"Move into the light I want to make sure they have the right person." Nic rolled her eye's and moved her hand over her dagger while walking closer to the light.
"There is no need for that, I don't intend to hurt you." The voice rang through the darkness "It's just that we cannot have any screw ups. Many things depend on this...on us. So it is you...well then." Nic tried to find the person that was talking to her the best she could get was that he was on her right. Then an envelope went flying through the air and landed near Nic's feet which she picked up.
"Take that do not let anyone see it, and do not open it until you are sure you are alone." The light went out and Nic turned to run for the door but was clothes lined
"Ugh" rolling over and getting up as fast as she could. She could hear scrambling all around, then she felt someone hugging her.
"Until we meet again take care of yourself." said the voice from the dark, Nic grabbed her dagger just as the person let go and lunged at him but she knew she just cut the dark nothing more.
"Ah shoot Hilda!" said to herself and tried to fid the door but managed to run into the wall first then find the door. After running all the way back to the store and taking a quick inventory of everything leanded against the wall seeing that everything was still there.
"Well that's it shall we go?" Hilda said walking out with a bag of stuff, and the two headed back to the gekko.

My dear Nicole
I am so glad I had a chance to see you that day. I am sure that your mother would have loved to see you also, but there was just no way it could happen. You have grown up so much, I wish I could have been there with you while you were growing up with your mother. I miss you so much. But enough about this, as you can tell it still is not safe for us to be seen. And I know that you must be thinking that this is just another clue that will lead to another clue. But this time there will be a meeting so more of this can be explained to you. Maybe we can even get a chance to catch up a bit. I need you to meet me at the hills 30 miles west from the town we met in, in two weeks at 4 o'clock in the morning. Do not tell anyone who you are meeting or why, and do not bring anyone with you.
with love,
your father

Nicole sat there staring at the letter with a million things racing through her mind all at once. How am I going to be able to get there with out anyone noticing me leaving. How am I going to get out there at all. By foot? That would take forever, and I can't take my board it's broken beyond belief no thanks to the kids. And I don't have an LFO...what am I going to do. Falling over on to her side she held the paper infront of her and continued to look at it hoping that somehow she was going to get a brilliant idea. Once the floor started to get really cold she get got up, and folded the letter back into it's envelope and placed it with the box in her cieling. Walking into the bathroom she washed her face and was almost scared when she looked up into the mirror. For when she looked up she saw herself when she was a little girl only a child of 6. Covering her eye's like a child would when they saw something that scared them, she backed up away from the mirror until she hit the wall and slid down it. Biting her nail she looked back up into the mirror, and started to think of anyway she could get out to the hills. "I can't just get up and leave them again, but I have no other choice. I'm sure that they would be mad if I did it again. I just hope that I wont get stuck in a weeks time out for it." she whispered to herself standing up and making her way to her room, where she went to bed. The whole next day she spent thinking of how she would go about leaving the gekko. It was just her luck that two people had somehow come down with food poisining, so they would not be leaving for a little while. Taking this as a chance to find some spare parts for her board, she also mapped out the area looking for the best way to get to the hills.

Once she was done cleaning Nic walked back to her room and pulled out the map she had been looking at for the past four day's. "Long enought to make me sick..." she said to herself and sat down on her bed with a pen and ruler in hand. The only way I can get there fast enough would still take about an hour and it would be over hills. There is no way I can make it I would have to leave just after I finish cleaning. And I have to keep us from taking off. she thought to herself. After about another half hour she had made up her mind since she had tried everyother possible way to get there. Drawing a line from where she was to the area she had to meet her dad in a simple blue shade. Folding up the map she placed it in a drawer and tossed her ruler on top of the drawers. Making another x on her calander and dropping the pen on the ground she left her room. Taking a walk through the halls to check if anything needed cleaning at the moment. Everything was racing though her head like a blizzard making in hard for her to think straigth let alone walk sraight. So wouldn't you know she turned the wrong way and walked sraight into a wall. "Stupid wall, who's idea was it to put a wall here anyways." she mumbled as she stood up and started to walk back in the direction she came from. Shoving her hands in her pockets she bit her lip in an attempt to keep her mind on one thing at a time. First thing I have to find a way to stall the take off even longer. I could always ask if we could stay here for a little longer. But I doubt that they would say yes. Of course we could just move a few miles into the direction that I need to go. But then they may know what I'm up to if we go to far. I bet that's why I have to go so far away. Maybe a small virus is in call for right about now. The military has had it to easy for a while, let's see what we have. she thought while walking back to her room. Closing the door she began to rummage through her room in a frenzy in hopes of finding her old case that held all her virus programs. It had everything she could think of during a rainy day, from bad songs, to creepy bugs. Looking under her bed she was able to find the case and tried to stand up to soon from excitement. Hitting her head on the bottom of the bed she began to curse then look through the case. "What should I give them today...BSOD? No to overrated. Maybe the new the skyfish one I found...yeah that's a break from the ordinary." she said with a smile and grabed the disk. Slidding the case back under her bed and leaving her room, which now looked like a tornado had just hit it she headed towards a place where she knew no one was at the time.

Three whole day's pass wiht out anything going wrong someone getting sick, or there being some strange happening that delayed the take off. But on the fourth things started to dissaper and show up in the strangest places. Things that were needed to fix up the mess in the control room where among the highest of things gone missing. Everyone just thought it was the kids playing jokes so they thought nothing of it and let it slide. Only telling Nicole to try to keep a better eye on them, and each time she would smile and nod then walk away. As the sun was setting on the fourth day and Nicole put up yet another big red x on her calander. She lay down for the last normal day that she would get for a while.

Tomorrow or nothing... she thought I have to do it other wise everything would have been for not. She had no idea what had come over her but memoriesof her past came to her like a tidle wave. Ranging anywhere from her sitting with her mother and father, Mr. Sugita teaching her how to defend herself even to her short time spent with Rue. Looking out the window she didn't know what to feel, she almost forgot how to breath. Having to sit down so she could think on breathing only, then laying down on her bed. Nic started up at the panel in the ceiling that held everything she had left, or so she thought at the moment. Letting her eye's close she could faintly hear someone knocking at her door. I hope I locked that door were her last thoughts before her eyes shut and she passed out. As the next morning rolled around she could hear her alram screaming at her. Slowly seeing if she could move everything with good reaction time, she went to turn off her alarm clock. Rubbing her head Nic went in search of something to rid herself of he obnoxcious headache. With a succsesful search Nic was able to rid herself of the headache and find a flashlight, along with anything else she still needed. Pulling a bag from under her bed she filled it up with the items she needed, and reached up into the ceiling to grab her belongings. As she did this action that was almost like a ritual to her she felt a bit of a calm wash over her which led to a bit of an easier time to breath. Happy for at least a few secoonds she re-read all the letters that she was given to make sure she had all the information right. Suddenly the door flew open and someone started to walk in, throwing her sheets over everything she turned to see who it was only to hear the persons voice instead, "Relax only looking for the wrench." Letting out a sigh of relief she closed the door and pulled away her sheets. Looking at everything and grabbing her map she folded it back up and placed it in her pocket. Closing her backpack up and swinging it over her shoulder, with careful hands she palced her stuff back where she got it from and opened the door once more. She couldn't hide out in her room before she left. So she hid her backpack in the kitchen and started work on everything else she did normally so no one would suspect anything.

Looking up at the sky she guessed that she was only a few minutes ahead of schedule, but that did not mean she could take her time. "I'm not going to let this chance slip through my fingers that easy..." she said to herself as she went along. The cool night breeze was blowing through her hair she smiled and invited the fresh air. Continuing along the hills she looked back up to the sky once more to try and get an idea of what time it was. It has to be nearing 3 in the morning she thought and I left near 11:45...I'm getting close and with that a wicked smile crossed her face. Half an hour to 45 minutes passed before she could really start to make out the exact area that she had to be. Hoping off her board a few feet before it she walked over to a cave like place which had a faint glow coming from it. "Well I guess that explaines why it had to be so early, see the light now, don't see it as the sun comes up." she said under her breath as she walked in pushing the sleeves of her sweatshirt up.
