Authors' Note: Sorry this has taken so long. Fanfic wasn't working properly the last few days. Let's try this again. Welcome to Part Two of Brothers in Arms. We hope you enjoy it. We haven't done away with the soundtracks, we just couldn't find any for these two chapters. Please be patient with the slow updates. Also, just so nobody gets the wrong idea, we still don't own any of these characters. All three Nightrunners were hoping for the copyrights from Santa Clause, but no such luck. Enjoy,

The Nightrunners

The young man sat down at his computer with a sigh. He had only gotten married a few weeks ago, and he was already back to work. Of course, he did have to admit to himself that it was quite a perk to have the sam job as your wife. He wouldn't have to worry about leaving her if they had to go out on assignment. Turning back to his computer, he noticed that a message had been sent to him in the last two days. Opening it, he watched as it text scrolled across the screen.

The young man considered calling his wife in to look at the information before him. He decided that it was quite probable that she had received the same file. He saw no point in waking her for something she would learn soon enough. He looked to the bottom of his screen, and read the last of his instructions:

Watch them.

The game had started. He only hoped that the pawns were aware of this as well. He was looking forward to meeting them.
