Jun glanced at the disembodied robot and then at the man who defeated it. The robot was an exact replica of Wuya. She couldn't believe that she had missed the obvious signs. A sudden realization came to her. If that is a robot, then where is my mother?

Chase could tell by looking at the little girl what she was thinking. This chameleon bot must belong to Spicer. Maybe I should return it to him…Spicer must be working with Hannibal. That would answer how he could have possibly Captured Wuya.

Umm…excuse me…? But do you know where my mother is?

Chase turned to the tiny girl. "I might have an idea."

"Where?"

"With two people that she and I know."

"Umm sir… how do you know my mother anyways?"

Chase was getting tired of the child's never ending questions. Obvious. He LOVES her. The annoying voice inside his head said.

"SHUT UP!!!!!"

Jun stepped back and looked scared. "I apologize for startling you," Chase said aware of what had just happened. Jun still waited for her answer.

"Sigh, okay. Wuya and I know each other from a long time ago and we are – old friends. I just came by for a visit."

Jun eyed the man suspiciously. "Okay then."

Chase kneeled down next to Jun. "I cannot stay here must longer. You'll have to hide as well. It appears that this robot was intended to harm you. I'll take you to a safer place, and find your mommy."

------------------

This has to be the fifth time that I have passed here. Wuya thought. By now Jun could be dead and Chase too… Wuya shook the thought away from her mind. Chase is the best Tai Chi master in the world. He couldn't possibly be dead yet…

Wuya collapsed from exhaustion. The soles of her feet were wrinkly because of the sewage water. Her hair was soaked and her clothes as well. Her makeup was running down her face and she had a purple bruise on her face.

"I hate having a body," she whispered, "Being cold, in pain and tired just isn't worth it."

A freezing sensation went through her body. Wuya felt numb and needed a few moments to rest….
