The Bloody Marys - Chapter 5

'Look what we've dragged in' says the Reaper as the Kryptos walk into their hideout.

The Healer looks up just in time to see McKinley walk in. She grins and runs up to him and flings her arms around him.

'Brother dearest. What the hell are you doing here?'

'Can't a man come see his little sister? Just because you're trying to save the world doesn't mean you're not my little sister anymore.'

'He would have been turned into human pulp if we had left him' says the Destructor laughing.

'That's enough people' interrupts the Librarian. 'We still have to save 2 more girls. Now that we have all greeted each other warmly we still have work to do. Reaper take Mantis, Destructor and McKinley with you and get the fourth girl and Scientist and I will go to the fifth.'

'No offense Librarian but McKinley and myself will be able to get the fourth girl. I think Mantis, Destructor and Scientist should go to the fifth while you stay here with the Healer' states the Reaper.

'I second that' adds the Mantis 'You need to be here. Like Reaper said, Destructor, Scientist and I should be able to handle the fifth.'

'Before we leave I want to ask a question to everyone. Has anyone noticed that at each birth there has been only one of the evil species there? Doesn't it seem odd that the others were not there?' Asks the Reaper.

'Yeh you're right. It's as though they are all working together.' Adds the Scientist.

'That means you all have to be careful. We don't know who else has joined them.' Cautions the Librarian. 'Go now.'

The Reaper looks at McKinley 'Well it's you and me old boy, you ready?' He pulls out his transporter.

'Who you calling old boy? And I'm more than ready to kick some other species arse.'

A flash of light and they disappear.
