Sam 's suit's headlight flashed, blinding other cars as he ran up the interstate offramp and into the parking lot of the resturraunt... which was now, of course, closed for the night. Cracks in the sidewalk showed where Reggie had bounded away, and what direction he went, but beyond the lot, nothing. Sam turned off the lights of his MJOLNIR as something foul and evil watched him from the shadows behind the building...? Something unseen, something that dripped slime out of it's ass, and hissed angrilly at him as a car pulled up in the parking lot.... A large stockey man got out and nodded to Sam Schpiel. "Good'morn, Sam." He said. "Nice suit you got there. Has the mayor contacted you?"
Sam shook his head "No, Inspector Sidious, he has not. What's up?" he asked. Suddenly, his cell phone rang... he activated the on star button of his uniform and the mayor greeted him, telling him to give the suit up to his inspector friend, and focus on investigating the crime scene.
"Sir... I really think I should be the one to confront him.. " Sam began. "He's just a boy and i've run into him once before... I actually looked right into the kid's eyes... yeah.. a KID'S in that machine! Gotta get him out alive!"
"Yes, but Sidious has been through the training program for this suit... You have not. " The mayor began. "It came from the US army... and he's an ex navy seal.. he can bring the boy in alive. Give him the suit. Besides... you're the better detective. Investigate the resturaunt and find where the kid has gone." As Sam hung up, he could have sworn the Mayor was mumbling under his breath about rubbing oil somewhere on someone's body and then doing something else.
He looked at Detective Sidious, who smiled.

Up the mountain, through countless brambles he could not feel, through sheer valleys and cold rapid streams at breakneck speed he ran! Reggie looked down . The blip on his radar was getting very near very quick'y! Faster than that bitch from the Thundercats he ran, nothing more than a streak of green until he reached a helipad on a mountainside , and a door hidden behind a rock that he found with some nifty thermal imaging device in his HUD.
The 'secret door' became a 'gaping hole' as he Bashed mercilessly through it, his anger swelling! thinking only of his parents, he swept through halls of this underground base and around corner after deserted corner... there were no personelle to speak of... WHY? He ran down a spiral staircase and came to two double doors which he barged through... Reggie gasped......
The room was HUGE! As big as a football field and stacked with what looked like at least one THOUSAND suits, just like his... only empty.... just standing silently in ranks and file! Reggie began to realize that something wasn't right here and ran on down another hall, to a lab where his radar was leading him! He burst through the door like Scott Baio and froze stiff.... for before him lay the master weapon.... He knew it was what he had been sent to destroy because the radar was displaying an x notifying him that he had found it........ Reggie beant down at the small object beneath him, which whimpered and cried, lying in a fetal position at his feet.....suddenly, the object spoke. "Sniff.. sniff... Are you going to hurt me like the others did? " She must have been less than 7 years old... and other than the bags under her eyes and needles sticking out of her arms connecting IV's , would have been a perfectly healthy child!!!!!!!!!
