Hulk Out

Chapter Three: Trouble

~(^.^)~

Tamie's P.O.V.

I groaned and opened my eyes to see that I was sitting in an alley. My shirt and pants were ripped, and I wasn't wearing any shoes. My shoulder stung, and I looked down at it to see that the gunshot wound I had was almost completely healed. Wow, that's amazing! I sighed, and stood up. Better find my way back to the apartment complex. I walked out of the alley, and started down the street. After walking for a few minutes, I finally got to the apartment complex. There was a car sitting in front of the building with the driver's side door, and one of the back doors ripped off. Oh I have a bad feeling about this. I raced into the apartment building, and up to David's apartment. The door was closed, and locked so I had to knock.

"I said that's all I was going to say about it now would you… Tamie you're okay," David exclaimed when he saw me.

"Yeah, and apparently my shoulder is almost completely healed. Ah so tell me what happened after I uh… hulked out?" I asked.

"Come in and sit down. I'll take a look at your shoulder while I tell you what happened," David suggested.

I nodded my head, and walked in and sat down on the couch. David looked at my shoulder while he explained what happened.

"After you or the ugh she hulk ran off the police arrived, and they questioned me. I told them what happened, leaving out the part about you being shot of course. Then they left, they'll be sending someone over to pick up that guys car tomorrow," David explained, putting a bandage over the almost healed wound on my shoulder.

"Wow I really ripped the doors off?" I asked. David nodded.

"I got to say it's weird being the one rescued by a hulk," David stated. I smiled.

"You know now that my she hulk has been seen McGee's probably going to show up thinking that it's you," I said.

"Yeah I thought about that," David replied.

"Do you think we should leave or stay here?" I asked.

"Well why don't we get some sleep and well leave tomorrow," David answered. I nodded my head.

"All right I'll be over here with my stuff tomorrow morning as soon as I get up," I said, standing up.

I went back to my apartment, changed my clothes, and settled in for the night. Although it was hard to sleep with thoughts of everything that had happened racing through my mind…

~(^.^)~

McGee's P.O.V.

I was in Baltimore checking up on the spotting of the Hulk. There was just one weird thing, everyone kept saying the Hulk was a girl. I sighed. This was a waste of time. Suddenly the phone on the night stand in my hotel room rang.

"Hello," I said.

"Jack we've got a report of a Hulk sighting in Virginia," My boss said.

"All right I'll drive down there tonight," I replied.

"Okay," My boss said, hanging up. Looks like the hulk hadn't gone too far this time. I sighed, mine as well pack up now and get going…

~(^.^)~

The next morning

Tamie's P.O.V.

My stuff was already packed and ready to go, but I decided to take a quick shower before heading over to David's apartment. It didn't take long to shower and soon enough I was sitting on his couch waiting for him to finish getting ready. It was almost ten and I felt anxious to get out of here. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. I looked out the peep hole to see that it wasn't the man from yesterday so I opened the door.

"Ah hello I'm Jack McGee from the National register, I was told that a Mr. Berne's was living here and that he might have information on the Hulk," McGee said.

I couldn't believe it, he was here already! He doesn't waste any time does he?!

"Uh sorry I think you have the wrong apartment, it's just me here," I replied.

Oh, I so hope David doesn't come walking out of his room.

"Oh, sorry if I woke you," McGee said, frowning.

"No problem I was already awake," I stated, giving him a smile.

I closed the door, and sighed with relief. That was a close one. I ran over to David's room, and knocked on the bedroom door.

"David we have to go now, McGee just showed up at the door," I stated through the door. A few seconds later the door opened and David stepped out, bag in hand. I grabbed my bag off the floor and slung it onto my back.

"I think we should use the fire escape, McGee could still be somewhere in the building," I exclaimed when I saw David heading for the door.

"Good idea," David replied, moving over to the window that lead to the fire escape.

"Well I'm known for my good ideas," I said, smirking.

I followed him out onto the fire escape, and we both climbed down. Once we were on the ground we started running to put distance between us and McGee. I looked back once at the apartment to see McGee staring out the window at me. Ah crap.

"Pick up the pace a bit David, McGee just saw us," I exclaimed, moving a little faster.

McGee disappeared from window a second later. We turned a corner, and something smashed into my head…

~(^.^)~

Sometime later

I groaned, and tried to sit up, but I found my arms and legs tied together. I looked down to see chains holding my hands and feet together, there was also a piece of tape covering my mouth. My head was pounding, and I could feel something sticky along the side of my face. I looked over when I heard a groan. I saw David lying next to me with chains around his wrists and ankles. I also noticed that we were lying right next to a lake. I heard a car door shut, and I looked over to see the man from the other day and another man walking towards us.

"Well it seems they're awake," The man I recognize stated. David looked over at me, then over at the two men.

"Just get this over with I want to forget about this whole mess," The one I didn't recognize replied.

The man moved forward, and using his foot he rolled David into the water. He was about to do the same to me, when we heard the sound of police cars coming towards us.

"Damn," One of them muttered.

"Get rid of her," The other said.

The man I recognized rolled me into the water, and I struggled against the chains. I could see David just below me doing just the same. He looked up at me, and I could see a greenish glow to his eyes. Suddenly his shirt, pants, and boots started to rip as his muscles grew larger. His skin turned green, and so did his hair. Then suddenly I wasn't staring at David anymore, I was staring at the Hulk. He broke his chains, then started swimming towards me.

He grabbed ahold of me, and pulled me up to the surface. I gasped for air, my lungs burning from the lack of oxygen, as the Hulk carried me onto land. I could see a car driving away, but I could also see several police cars heading right for the car. I could also see another car sitting several feet away from the lake. Suddenly McGee got out of the car. Oh great. He looked at the Hulk, then down at me.

The Hulk walked over to McGee, and seemed to be inspecting him. McGee seemed to almost shake as the Hulk inspected him. Then the Hulk grunted, and held me out to McGee. McGee reached out, and took a hold of me. The Hulk quickly broke the chains around my arms and legs then ran off.

"Wait don't go," I shouted after ripping the tape off my face.

I wiggled out of McGee's grasp, and was about to run after him when McGee grabbed ahold of my wrist.

"He's dangerous, you shouldn't chase after him, he could hurt you," McGee stated. I glared at him.

"He just saved me from drowning I don't think he's gonna hurt me," I replied, yanking my arm away.

I quickly grabbed mine and David's bags, which had been tossed onto the ground, then raced after the Hulk. I could hear someone running behind me, and I looked back to see that it was McGee. I picked up my pace trying to lose McGee. I raced down a dirt path heading towards a forest. I raced into the forest, trying hard to find the hulk while also trying to lose McGee. Finally after several minutes I couldn't hear McGee following behind me. I sighed, and slowed down. After several more minutes of walking I came to a clearing were I found the Hulk sitting on a log.

"Thank god I found you," I exclaimed, rushing over to him.

He looked at me with a confused expression. He looked tired, and then suddenly he seemed to glow green. His muscles shrank, and his skin went back to its normal color. Then I was looking at David. He put his hand to his head, then looked up at me.

"Here's your bag," I exclaimed, holding out his bag. He smiled.

"Thanks," He replied, taking the bag. I looked away as he quickly changed.

"We should keep walking through the forest when I was trying to find you I could hear McGee behind me. I think I lost him but I don't know for how long," I explained, once David was done changing.

He nodded his head, picked up his bag, and then we continued to walk through the forest…

~(^.^)~

McGee's P.O.V.

I was angry, and frustrated beyond belief. I'd once again lost John Doe. If it hadn't been for that woman I would have caught him. I still can't believe that woman managed to fool me so easily. I felt like kicking myself when I thought back on it…

…I walked into the apartment building where the Hulk was seen coming out of. I walked to the room of the owner, and she directed me to room 112 where a Mr. Berne's was living. I walked up a set of stairs and started looking for room 112. When I found it I quickly knocked on the door. A woman with long red hair, and green eyes around the age of 29 opened the door.

"Ah hello I'm Jack McGee from the National register, I was told that a Mr. Berne's was living here and that he might have information on the Hulk," I stated. The woman stood there for a second as if she was in shock.

"Uh sorry I think you have the wrong apartment, it's just me here," She replied.

"Oh, sorry if I woke you," I said, frowning. I could have sworn the lady said room 112.

"No problem I was already awake," She stated, smiling. She closed the door, and I walked back down to the owner's room.

"Are you sure it's room 112?" I asked the lady.

"Yes, I'm positive," She replied

"But a woman answered the door, and said she was the only one living there," I replied. The woman frowned.

"All right follow me, I have a key to the apartment, we'll get this mess straightened out," She stated, walking towards the stairs.

I followed her up the stairs, and back to room 112. When we walked in there was no-one around. I walked into the only room to find that it was empty. I walked back out into the kitchen, and looked out the window. I could see a red-haired woman running down the street with a man that matched John's description. The woman turned her head and looked at me. I scowled. She said something to John, and the two of them started running faster. Damn it…

…I shook my head to clear it of the memory. John Doe was a mystery. A man who drew in people and made them want to help him. I'd talked to so many people who'd interacted him. People who wouldn't tell me a damn thing about him. People who helped him escape. But mark my word, I am going to catch him, one way or another.
