((Wow so much to cath up on and hard to keep up with you all. ))<br/><br/>*On the twentieth ring she was contemplating putting the phone down then just as the phone left her hear a voice sounded.*<br/><br/>"Who ever and what this is about. It better be good to wake me up at this time of night."<br/><br/>"If that is the way you normally greet people then I am not surprised you gets so many complaints about your bed side manner."<br/><br/>"A faint chuckle would sound from the other side.. A deep , husky almost masculine sounding voice. Though the pitch was slightly off.*<br/><br/>"Honey, you have no idea about my bedside manner and that certainly receives no complaints."<br/><br/>"I need your help...well some one else may do."<br/><br/>"Ah that incurable nature to help people will only get you in trouble Shar. So to save this person you willing to finally come over to the "dark side" Shar. It has certainly been waiting for you for a long time."<br/><br/>*Another chuckle sounded though this time a harded edge threaded through the sound it causing a pit of dread to open in her stomach.*<br/><br/>"I just want to help some one in danger Beth. Nothing mroe nothing less...just after what has been seen...I doubt the normal people would be able to help."<br/><br/>"Very simple Shar, you are either in or out. You wish to try and save the person drowning you got to get into the pool."<br/><br/>"Fine I'm in. I'm at...."<br/><br/>"Honey you don't have to tell me anything..I know where you are....you are leaving a faint trail after the fun at the store..."<br/><br/>"But I didn't say ..."<br/><br/>"You wouldn't be calling if you really thought you did. See you soon."<br/><br/>*Before Shar could respond all she got was the infuriating droning signal.*<br/><br/>"Bitch.."<br/><br/>"She muttered under her breath before going to the bathroom and cleaning herself up. Within the hour a knock at her door soudned through the simple room. Taking a deep breath she moved tot he door opening it slightly to peer out.*<br/><br/>*A woman stood out side dressed in a pair of worn jeans, a t-shirt and leather jacket. Ankle boots gave her extra height to her five foot six inch frame. A a bob of black hair and dark blue strands  leading to a pair of bright blue eyes. A warm smile touched the womans lips.*<br/><br/>"I knew one day something would throw you over the egde Shar...though certainly not some thing on this kind of scale. How did you manage to find this much trouble."<br/><br/>"It found me and how much trouble are we talking."<br/><br/>*The female laughed as they made their way towards the womans car.*<br/><br/>"Honey if my readings are right then the trouble is mighty high, mighty wide. Though I doubt you or I will be on their radar yet. How did you actually manage to survive?"<br/><br/>"I'm not exactly sure. One minute I was outside the store and the next in a tree to the west."<br/><br/>"Not the most heroic of stories but at least you are here. Now tell me everything..."<br/><br/>*The drove through the city in a normal family looking car as Shar started to explain everything from her time at the bus stop and what followed. Part of her wishing she was simply exaggerating or at least had been day dreaming. At least then she could wake up and all be back to normal even if she was back at the damn bus stop. The woman listened for the first time in silence only nodding ehr head at certain parts until Shar finishes her story.*<br/><br/>*A long drawn out whistle filled the car at the end.*<br/><br/>"I almost envy you. Especially seen as no one appears to know about you. Though certainly got to be something special about this girl the men were fighting over. A bit of a extreme to go to for a simple bit of tail."<br/><br/>"I wouldn't know. So what next?"<br/><br/>"Our next stop off is my work and trying to track where the female went if she is the one you wish to aid. Nearly there."<br/><br/>*Shar fell silent as she watched the buildings passed by, her hands wrapping about themselves to give her comfort and warmth. Time seemed to change once more as it started to speed passed now. Hours passed by as they walked into a goverment looking building. Several guarded doors having to be passed before finding their way into a large room. A hive of computers were filled with life. Some with the news, some with numbers and letters all another language to Shar from what she could see.*<br/><br/>*The woman begin to explain to her what was going on from their perspective.*<br/><br/>"Everyone's packing a punch Shar I am not sure how you alone can help but I wish to know more on this woman so I shall help "<br/><br/>*Shar smiled the look in her eyes changing from confusion to determination.*<br/><br/>"You would not have brought me here if you was going to do anything else."<br/><br/>*The woman chuckled as they moved to a quieter room, her locking the door behind them.*<br/><br/>"We currently have a idea of where two of the three men are. They of course are seeking the man with the female. We shall be observing them from a distance..and hopefully step in at the right moment. Did any of them manage to see you at all?"<br/><br/>"Maybe one of them , the one that initially tried taking the female."<br/><br/>"Hmm that could be useful..perhaps time for him to see a ghost..."<br/><br/>*A puzzled look crossed Shars eyes as the woman leaned in closer, grasping the back of Shars neck and whispered quietly into her ear.*<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
