Part 15
Ella entered Kowloons office, she was soaked and had a white towel around her shoulders and was wearing a sheet of foil. Her eyes were red and sore and she seemed to be limping. Her superior rose and quickly stepped up to help her into her seat.
Kowloon: "I'm pressuming it wasn't as smooth as it could have been..."
The Changling sniffed and shook her, the foil crinkling as she sat.
Ella: "We lost Kisha..."
Stepping around to his side of the desk the Mudokon nodded and rubbed his left hand through his plume.
Kowloon: "It was a hard mission, i should have sent more...But i couldn't afford capture. I-I'm sorry."
He sat down and sighed. Ella sniffled some more and then placed a vial of blood on his desk.
Ella: "There's another one in the Labs. They're thinking about combining the blood so that they can get a mixture of both victims...Thus allowing a 3rd member to go along."
Dabbing her nose with the back of her hand she sat back. Her muscles ached and, although the foil was helping, she was still cold.
Kowloon: "How are the others?"
Ella: "They've been better...Their morale is abit low, but what can you expect..."
The Mudokon nodded slowly.
Kowloon: "You say you lost Kisha...How? Are you sure she wasn't captured?"
The Changling seemed to snarl as she answered him.
Ella: "Kisha killed herself, her loyalty to this Agency cost her, her life. You really think she would compromise the operation by allowing herself to be captured!?! Do you!?!"
The Mudokon was slightly taken back but stood his ground all the same. He twirled his thumb ring around as he replied with a firm yet fair statement.
Kowloon: "You have to understand, Ella, that we cannot allow any creature that works with or for this Agency to fall into enemy hands. If we do, not only is the base in danger but the staff themselves. So, obviously, i have to check and make sure that when an agent is down, they stay down. Now, the details..."
Ella shook her head slowly and climbed to her feet.
Ella: "Ask Mel she was involved more than me, and make sure your a little more tactful when you suggest that she may have bottled it when it came to finishing herself off..."
And at that Ella had turned and walked towards the door, not turning back nor bothering what her superior thought. He was out of line, and he knew it.

Quade: "Hey Jale!! Kowloon wants to speak to you...!!"
The Saurian shouted over all the clanking, hammering and welding. He was stood at the entrance to the Garage, a large spacious place filled with cars and other vehicles. The Mudokon in question turned to him, he was dressed in blue overalls that were stained with slick Oil. The car he was working on wasn't his but someone elses. It was a red cadillac.
Jale: "Why, mon? What tas Jale dun rong vis tyme?"
Placing the tools he was working with gently on the ground he pushed through the other mechanics and drivers, weaving in and out of dorment cars. His face was tainted black, apart from around the eyes which indicated he was wearing goggles.
Quade: "All i know is that there's another job coming up that'll need a good driver."
Scratching the back of his neck Jale smirked and nodded.
Jale: "Ok mon, where duz 'e wanna see me?"
Quade: "His office, i'd hurry...he told me to tell you 10 minutes ago."
The expression on the creatures face changed from calm and relaxed to pure panic and terrified in a matter of seconds. Side stepping Quade allowed the being to rush past him and down the corridor towards Kowloons office, smirking as he watched the bumbling creature push past any creature in its way...
