«We Could be Heroes»

The elderly man reached out and hoisted the boy onto his hip, beaming from ear to ear. "This is my grandson, William. Say hi, Will." The boy responded by tucking his face into the man's neck, hiding from everyone. James laughed. "Well, he's a little shy right now. But where were we? Oh yes, bad guys." He cleared his throat and glanced back to Tayn, "You were right, I was going to ask something of you, and you have every right to decline because the mission will be very scary and dangerous..." he shifted Will on his hip, untangling his shoe from his his chain. "But it needs to be done."
 
"No, it was her mother all right." Tom said, not looking up from the can he was kicking. "I just... hey," he offered them a warm smile. "Maybe things aren't so bad, you know? There could be more to this than meets the eye." Then he frowned. "Did I just say that?...huh."
"How do you know it was her mother?" Crow asked, suddenly anxious. What if she was part of that gang? That would be bad. Maybe that's why she left so quickly...

"Wh-why did you put us in jail, then?" Sammy blurted, unable to hold back her questions any longer. "And... and.." She stuttered, not sure which questions to ask first.
 
"How do you know it was her mother?" Crow asked, suddenly anxious. What if she was part of that gang? That would be bad. Maybe that's why she left so quickly...
"Maybe the resemblance between the two? But that might be wrong;I barely had a glance at the mother." Adelaide pitched in quietly, her gaze lowered, with her brow furrowing.
 
Tayn glanced over at The girl who had brought Ash back. There was no real reason for them to be held here. obviously they wanted all of the group here. "Was Will kidnapped or were you thinking of someone else?" Tayn asked thinking of Noel, maybe she had been kidnapped by the bad guys from the police who were protecting her. She wasnt sure what to think.

(" As Noel glanced up from her sobbing, a woman rushed toward her. "Leona!" She said. "Mommy!" The child's voice was half muffled as the woman wrapped her arms around her," noel called her mommy.)

Tom motioned to the paper that (insert name) held. "I found me one of those in my... dumpster. I like to read. Read whatever I can get my hands on. Anyway, it said the father got killed overseas. And a newspaper, one from a few days ago, mentioned something about some suspicious stuff going on in that area... not that that all fits together."

He chuckled, trying to peel Will's face out of his neck. "Oh, no. That's kind of the tradeoff. You did," he waved his hand to the dome, "all that, and I give you a get-out-of-jail-free card. We're even, I hope. But the mission is more of a favor I'm asking." He smiled. "I'll give you a while to think it over. Guard!" He called. The door swung open, and the corporal stood at attention just inside the room. "Take these people back to the surface. Ah, gently, please. We rather shocked them the first go, I think."

"You found yourself on a missing poster? Uh, I mean, ok." Crow said, trying to put it all together. She was kidnapped and we returned her. Sounds simple enough, yet.... Crow sighed, "Well, I guess I better be going. Zen?"
