‘I’ve got her and soon I’ll have the formula for you. The others don’t suspect anything. I trust the amount we agreed on hasn’t changed.

The man smiled.
‘It always helps to have someone on the inside’ he thought.

“Yes; you may leave” The Commander said and watched them leave.
When the commander was sure that they had left; he picked up his phone and typed up a message and sent it to a secret phone number.
“Thank you for everything” Sheryl said as they left the building.
“You are welcome” Lance said stopping and then pulling her into his arms and embracing her.
“I was worried that I wouldn’t reach you in time” he whispered with emotion.
“I thought I was going to die; I’m glad it’s all over” she said hugging him back.
“I won’t let anyone hurt you again” he promised.
“I have you guys now; who’s going to hurt me?” she said with a smile.
“We will all protect you; all of us including the commander” Lance told her as he continued to hold onto her.
The man picked up his phone and looked at the message he had just received. It read.

“Lance will see to it that you do and remember you can’t tell a soul” the Commander warned.
Sheryl nodded; this was all happening so fast.
‘Her?; an agent.’
She had to admit that it had never crossed her mind. She might not know much about Universal Warriors as an organization but they had proven that they could be trusted and after everything that had happened she realized that they were her only option. She would do what she had to do to protect herself and honor her parent’s memory.
“I’d love to join you” Sheryl said.
“Welcome on board” the Commander congratulated her.
“Start their training as soon as possible” Commander Drake said.
“Yes sir” Lance responded.
“Is there someone else?” Sheryl asked the Commander.
“Renée will be joining you as soon as she recovers” he informed her.
“Isn’t she with the bad guys?” Sheryl asked in confusion.
“Ed is convinced she would be a good agent so we are putting her on a trial period” he told her.
“Was that all sir?” Lance asked.

“I understand; how can I help?” she asked wanting to finish what her parents had started.
“We would like you to join the organization”
“Me?”
“Yes” he confirmed.
“But I don’t know anything about being an agent” Sheryl protested.
“We want you to begin training; Lance and his squad can help you with that and at the same time we would like to perform some tests on your arm so that we can learn the composition of the formula”
“My arm?” Sheryl asked puzzled, wondering why they would want to do tests on her arm.
“Yes; your parent’s infused the formula in your arm” the Commander explained.
“I’m not sure…” Sheryl hesitated.
“There are a lot of dangerous people out there Sheryl and they want the formula; you becoming one of us is your best chance at survival and making sure that your parents discovery is not used for evil” the Commander told her in a blunt but kind tone.
“He’s right Sheryl; we can teach you how to protect yourself” Lance agreed.
“Okay; I don’t think I’ll make a good agent though” she gave in.

“Glad to finally meet you in person Sheryl” Commander Drake said as he shook Sheryl’s hand.
“Sheryl; this is Commander Drake he is in charge of the HQ of Universal Warriors” Lance told her before they all sat down.
“I hope you are alright” the Commander inquired.
“Yes; a little rattled but I’m okay” Sheryl responded.
“I’m sorry about your parents; they were great scientists” Commander Drake apologized with sympathy.
“You knew them?” Sheryl asked him.
“Yes; I did and their death was a great loss to this organization”
“Thank you” she responded.
“I gather you already know about the formula?” he asked.
“Yes; Lance explained everything to me on our way here” she told him as she gave Lance a small smile. Under normal circumstances she would have been angry with him about lying about who he was but after everything she had been through she was just glad that she had him to lean on.
“Your parents developed the formula for this organization; so naturally we would like to know it” the Commander said.

“Is he alive?” Lance asked Mackenzie as she checked Seth’s pulse.
“Yes but we need to get him to the hospital” Mackenzie informed him.
“Call HQ and tell them to send the medics” Lance said her and Mackenzie nodded before she dialed the number.
“Sheryl” Lance said gently as he walked over to the chair and unstrapped her.
“I was so scared” she whispered as she wrapped her arms around him, tears streaming down her cheeks.
“It’s okay; you are safe now” he said hugging her tightly. They had gotten there just in time; a few seconds later and she would have been dead.
“How did you know where I was?” she asked holding onto him tightly afraid to let go.
“Renée told me” he told her.
“So she’s alive?” Sheryl asked relieved.
“Yes; she’s with Ed” Lance said.
“Sheryl… I haven’t been completely honest about who I am” he begun.
“Sssh…just…just hold me” Sheryl interrupted him; not really caring about what he was about to say; she was just glad that he was here and that he had saved her.
Lance smiled and held onto her.

“I already told you I don’t have it” Sheryl said wondering why he wasn’t listening to her.
“We will see about that” Jack said giving Seth the go ahead signal.
Seth retrieved his gun from his coat pocket and aimed it at Sheryl. Sheryl’s heartbeat increased; he was going to kill her; this was it. She was scared; she didn’t want to die; there were so many things she hadn’t done. So many things she hadn’t said and places she hadn’t visited. It all seemed so unfair.
“Go ahead” Jack told Sheryl.
“Please…no” Sheryl pleaded; it was the only thing she felt she could do.
Seth wrapped his index finger around the trigger and squeezed it. Sheryl screamed and the shot echoed out through the night then everything went silent.
Seth dropped his gun and fell to the ground. He felt the pain invade his chest. He touched the spot where the pain was coming from and then looked at his hand, it was covered in blood. His eyes went dim; he could feel himself slipping into unconsciousness and then everything went black.
“Don’t move” Lance said as he now pointed his gun to Jack.
Jack raised his hands in the air and stood still paralyzed by fear.
“Cuff him” Lance told Larry and Larry obliged.
“We will see about that” Jack said giving Seth the go ahead signal.
