Joseph sits and continues reading the file with a sense of admiration. ‘This man seems to be living the perfect life, wife and kids doing what he loves seems very dedicated, he does have high qualifications and meet or surpasses our standards.\'
Joseph thought to himself.
The Next Morning
Joseph sitting at his desk filling out papers. When there\'s a knock on his door.
\"Come in\" Joseph replies. The door to his office opens and a man about Joseph height walks in wearing a black business suit and a tag clipped to his jacket. He has short blonde hair and green eyes with a light complexion. Joseph looks at the man, not knowing who this is. He looks at the tag on his vest and says visitor in red letters. Joseph gets up to greet the stranger.
The man than speaks \"Hello, Mr. .....Ramos?\" he says slightly unsure if he is in the right office and extends his hand as Joseph walks around his desk and reaching to shake the mans hand. As he shakes his hand he looks closer at the tag above visitor a signature Jonathan R.
Joseph than looks up at the man. \"Mr. Reyes, Welcome im your new supervisor. Please sit down we much to discus about your new assignment.\" Joseph than sits down at his desk. Jonathan sat on the chair that was on the opposite side of his desk. \"New Assignment, sir?\"
The recruit asked. \"Yes Mr. Reyes here is your new assignment for the next 3 years.\"
Joseph replied and handed him a file. Jonathan receives the file and opens it sees a picture of a girl around the age of 9. \"Im assigned to the presidents daughter?!\" He said in a surprised manner trying not to look shocked.
\"That\'s right recruit, for the next 3 years she is who you are going to protect. Im putting a lot of faith in you. I\'ve read you file and you have a qualification that the this group of recruits don\'t have.\" Joseph said has he pulled out Jonathan from a drawer, behind his desk.
Jonathan looked slightly puzzled when he asked. \"What\'s that, sir?\" Joseph than looks at him. \"First let me ask you, do you love your sons?\" he asked. \"Yes, sir.\" Jonathan answered.
\"You would give your life to save theirs, right?\" Joseph asked. \"Of course, sir.\" Jonathan answered with a little bit more understanding to his supervisor\'s point.
\"I\'ve chosen you, not only because you have the right education or because your physical fit or your training that\'s just tell me your just like everyone here. What makes you different is that you\'re a family man, you know what\'s like to have kids and be around them. That\'s exactly what the president is looking for her daughter. A fellow father, understand?\"
Jonathan then gives a slight smile. \"Yes, sir. I understand, I wont let you or the president down.\" Jonathan gets up and extends his hand once again to Joseph who is also getting up, shakes his hand. \"You start tomorrow, be at the White House at 6:00am. You\'ll be briefed on her Daily routine. Don\'t be late. Good bye\" Joseph said. \"Good-bye, sir.\" Jonathan than walked out of the office.
2 years later. Tokyo, Japan
A long black limo with 2 flags on the hood one the American flag the other with the seal of the United States of America drives though the city streets with 2 black suv\'s trailing ahead of the limo and 2 behind the limo. Also with several local police units around the limo guiding the limo though the closed off city streets. In the limo sits the president and his family with Jonathan sitting next to Ana the presidents daughter and Joseph sitting next to the driver.
The limo turns to the Hotel\'s underground parking garage.
The president looks at his wife. \"I hope this conference goes well, dear. If they do japan and the U.S. will be helping other countries with environmental problems.\" the first lady smiles. \"Don\'t worry yourself. Tomorrow everything will go smoothly.\" she said trying to reassure her husband as the limo followed the to suv and police cruisers though the entrance of the underground garage.
Joseph than speaks into his earpiece. \"The package has arrived, open service entrance, over.\"
As Joseph waiting for a response, two police cruisers blocked the entrance as they were ordered to keep outside threats from coming in. As the other the remaining police cruisers stay with the limo. Joseph can see the service entrance. But sees no one there. Joseph than turns to the president. \"No need to be alarm, sir just please wait a moment.\" Joseph opens the passenger door and exits the limo. He begins to check the surroundings, he notice a police officer in his cruiser wearing the typical uniform for a Tokyo cop. Blue Long sleeved shirt and hat. But as he looks closer as the officer stretches his arms the sleeve on the officer pulls back a little and a tattoo of a dragons head appears. ‘Yakuza!\'Joseph expression turns fearful.
He casually gets back into the limo and without looking at the driver. \"Get us out of here!\" with no reaction from the driver, he looks straight at him \"Get us....\" the driver leans forward lying on the steering wheel. \"What the hell?\" he looks at the driver and sees a bullet hole in the back of his head. Joseph looks towards the presidential family only to be looking into the barrel Jonathan\'s gun with silencer attached to his standard 9 millimeter weapon. Joseph looks at Jonathan. \"You betrayed us!\" Joseph says with a rage filled voice. Jonathan just gives a smile and tells him \"Wrong, because I was never on your side in the first place.\" Jonathan than chuckled. \"Me, Im in it for the money with some help from the Yakuza. Im about to make a large deposit in my bank account.\" Jonathan than keeps his weapon aimed at Joseph. A dark figure than walks up to the back passenger window on Jonathan\'s side. Everyone than looks at the figure that\'s outside of the limo.
Jonathan\'s smile grows as he makes his way to open the passenger door. Joseph looks at the president look just as rage filled as Joseph and the first lady trying to keep their daughter calm.
Jonathan reaches for the door handle. But just before he opens it he looks at everyone. \"Mr. President, Joseph, Id like you to meet the person who made this all possible.\" he opens the door and scoots a bit to the side to let this person in. A Japanese woman slowly sits down in the limo next to Jonathan. \"Everyone, this is my lovely and deadly wife Jennifer Tsuruoka. Also know as ‘The Youkai\'. That means ‘The Demon\' leader of the Tokyo Yakuza.\"
Joseph eyes widen in shock. \"Son of bi...\" Joseph is cut off when Jonathan firmly aims his gun at Joseph. \"Now, Mr. Ramos. We cant have that kind of language in the presence of a child.\" Jonathan remarked as he turned his attention to ana who was being held closely by her mother. The first lady gave him a cold stare. \"You\'re a monster!\"she says with a hate filled voice. Jonathan then cracks a smile as he replied to her out burst. \"No I am not, Madam. Im a capitalist. I see an opportunity and I take advantage of it. One of the many things that makes America great.\" He still kept his weapon aimed at Joseph. Since he was the only threat
in the vehicle.
\"Now, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. This is my wife, say hello koibito1.\"
His wife then kissed him on the cheek. Then began speak to the hostages with a smile.
\"Hello, As my husband already told you im Jennifer Tsuruoka. First allow me to welcome you to Japan, Mr. President.\" she smiles at the gray haired man in the tuxedo. \"Thank you.\"
The president says with a sarcastic tone. \"Your welcome.\" the woman say with a disturbingly pleasant smile. ‘This woman is talking to us like we\'re at a dinner party!\' Joseph thinks to himself as ‘The Demon\' continues to speak. \"We are only here for the girl once we take her we will be on our way, we will contact you on how we want the transaction to be done.\"
The first lady then hold Ana closer. \"Over my dead body!\" The president remarked.
The woman expression then turns cold. She reaches down her pocket and pulls out a set of Polaroids and throws them at the president. He grabs them and looks at them with the most fearful expression. Joseph wonders what he is looking at. The Demon then showed a smile of satisfaction at the presidents reaction.
\"That\'s exactly what your Secretary of State said, Yesterday when we tried to obtain his son.
Don\'t make the same mistake he did. It cost him his life and of his wife and that of his son.\"
Jonathan was looking at his wife as she continued to speak not paying attention to Joseph.
‘Now\'s my chance.\' Joseph than slowly move his right hand from the top of the seat to the radio of the limo. Since he sitting in the front passenger side no one is able to see him. He presses the volume button on the radio and the digital screen on the radio begins to flash,
‘A L E R T.\' The flashing ceased and the radio screen returned to the time 12:34pm
The Yakuza leader continues to talk.
\"Now Mr. President, Give us Ana and we will spare your lives.\"
The sound of an approaching helicopter can be heard in the distance. Jonathan then looks above him, knowing that a helicopter is now hovering above the parking garage.
\"Uhh...Koibito?, I think we should go.\" The sound of gunfire echos throughout the garage.
All the occupants of the limo attention now turned to the entrance of the garage where the 2 police cruisers where blocking the way in. Four disguised Yakuza were taking fire from the outside. Three Yakuza members hit the floor and the other running for his life. Jonathan turns back to Joseph with a great sudden feeling of anger and hate and leaps forward shoving the gun into his face. \"YOU BASTARD!! YOU LEAD THEM HERE DIDN\'T YOU?!\" Joseph just sat there, silent with no expression on his face. Joseph\'s silence just enraged Jonathan even more. Jonathan\'s voice lowered and calmed himself down as he cracked a smile. \"Well Mr. Ramos with a rewarding experience working for you, but here\'s my letter of resignation.\"
Jonathan then cocked his gun.
Jennifer than came up from behind and softly grabbed his arm, placed her head on his shoulder and whispered into his ear. \"No, Why kill him? It would only make him a hero. Instead....\" she than grabbed Jonathan\'s gun and aimed at the president. \"Make him live the rest of his life knowing he failed to uphold his duties and honor.\" Joseph tries and make a grab for the gun, But Jonathan punches him. A single silenced gun shot, than a momentary silence looms. Broken by the sounds of a child\'s crying for her father to wake up. Joseph recovers from the punch and looks up at the president covered in blood all over the chest. Jonathan and Jennifer open the limo door and exit the vehicle.
Jonathan can be heard talking on a walkie talkie. \"Cover us, we heading to the roof.\" All thirteen disguised Yakuza than move towards the entrance holding AK-47s position themselves around the entrance with out being seen.
A large tank-like vehicle with a battery ram with the Japanese symbol of protection on the end, plows right though the two police cruisers blocking the entrance.
The Yakuza open fire on the tank, of course not doing any damage to the tank. A small window on each side of the tank opens with gunfire blasting out at the Yakuza members with six shot down and seven still standing. One yakuza lights a cigarette, as he calmly goes to the police cruiser he was in opens the trunk, pulls out a large duffle bag. He closes the trunk door and walks in the direction of the tank. The yakuza member is now standing several feet away from the tank. He gets on one knee, opens the duffle bag and takes out a rocket launcher. Places the launcher over his shoulder and begins to aim with the targeting screen. Pulls the trigger, the rocket shoots out heading towards the tank.
Inside the tank a small screen lights up. \"Projectile Warning: Initiating Counter Measure.\"
The flat end of the battery ram slides open, as the rocket continues heading closer to the tank. Four small balls shoot out of the battery ram. The rocket hits one of them and large explosion fills the surrounding area and takes out more other Yakuza. The man with the rocket launcher just looks at the tank with a completely neutral expression. He takes another puff of his cigarette. \"Figures.\" he puts down the rocket launcher and walks into the shadows as if nothing happen.
A team of six enter the garage with SWAT gear on. A loud speaker mounted on top of the tank echos with the voice of a man speaking in Japanese than again the same voice repeats in English. \"This is Tokyo Police Sargent Yota Horibuchi, lay down your weapons and kick them away, place your hands behind your head and get on your knees.\" The swat team aims the guns at the remaining four members. The Yakuza members place there guns at the floor and kick them towards the SWAT team. They get on the there knees and placed there hands behind there head. As SWAT members begin placing the yakuza under arrest.
Joseph looks out the rear window and sees that the real police have taken control. He opens the door and yells to the SWAT team. \"I NEED A MEDIC!! THE PRESIDENTS BEEN SHOT!!\" A swat team member goes to Joseph. Than Joseph points to the president in the back seat covered in blood. The swat member begins to speak Japanese in his headset radio. The man than turns to Joseph. \"They on there way.\" Joseph thankful that the man speaks English. \"Thank you.\" Joseph than grabs his cell phone. Dials a number and wait for an answer. \"Agent Daniels, I need all available agents on active call now! Put all personals on the presidential family.\" Joseph puts the cell phone back in his pocket and looks at the 4 black SUV\'s that came in with them, all the agents inside the SUV\'s have been shot once in the head. \"My god.\"
The president had been taken to the hospital where it was discovered that the bullet missed his heart by a centimeter. After a successful 4 hour surgery, He fully recovered and returned to Washington D.C. But Joseph resigned when he returned to America, stating that he failed to do his job. As for Jonathan and Jennifer they were never caught and are still at large.
It was later discovered though a investigation that Jonathan\'s file had been fabricated so was Jennifer\'s and that those weren\'t even there real names. the pairs real names were never discovered. They have been placed as number three and four on the FBI top ten most wanted list since 1995. Joseph was offered the job of Head of Security at Bright Ravens Offices and warehouses in the Northeast. But because the Head of Security for the southeast offices was killed in the explosion. Gonlazo called on Joseph to over see the transportation of classified information and weapons to a more secure location.
Back to the year 2004.
As the last box was being loaded up, Joseph than shouted to the men that are under his command. \"Ok, Let rev up and move out!\" Joseph looked at his watch \"6:33pm\" walked to one of the black Suv\'s and got in the drivers seat. The rest of the men got to there position. Two men in each truck, four in each Suv. Joseph started the engine and three men entered the car. Joseph than drove out of the loading dock with the three semi-trucks following and the five other Suv\'s followed the trucks. After about 10 minutes they where on the highway and the sun had already set. On the highway Joseph still stays in the lead, The Suv\'s are in there positions with one on each side of the first truck and one on each side of the third truck. The remaining Suv stays on the rear of the third truck. Joseph than speaks into his headset. \"Ok men, keep your positions and stay with the trucks.\"
45 minutes later
The motorcade arrived at gate entrance to a warehouse yard in West Hialeah.
The lead suv pulls up to a keypad console with a security camera next to it. Joseph lowers the driver side window. He enters \"4-9-6-7-3-2\" and a computerized voice comes from the speaker box \"Please enter voice verification code\" Joseph leans a bit closer to the speaker box. \"Raven shines in the darkness.\" the gate than begins to open as soon as the gate was fully open Joseph went in and the rest followed. As the last Suv entered the gate began to close.
Once in the warehouse yard the suv continued to lead until it came across warehouse 7.
The trucks stopped and everyone turned off and exited there vehicles. The team began unloading the boxes using a forklift. Joseph over saw to make sure that everything went as planned, he pulled out his cell phone and one the phonebook feature picked Mr. Roldan Cell. He waited for an answer. Gonlazo picked up. \"Hello.\" Joseph than began with his status report. \"Hello sir, I\'m calling to report that we are at the secure location unloading the cargo and will be done with in a three-hour period.\" Joseph reported with a sense a satisfaction that everything has without problems. \"Good work Mr. Ramos, once everything is put in its place you and your men may have the weekend off. Im going to have a secondary team patrol there in the morning to guard the cargo until it can be brought back to the downtown building.\"
\"Yes sir, thank you sir.\" Joseph says with a smile.
\"Good bye, Mr. Ramos, see you on Monday.\" Joseph hangs up and puts the cell phone away.
Joseph than shouts to his men. \"Listen up men, I got good news, the boss gave us the weekend off if we can finish up in the next three hours!\" the men cheered for there reward.
‘I know the boss didn\'t say that, but motivation is motivation, they\'ll finish up twice as fast now.\' Joseph thought to himself.
About 2 and a half hours later.
Almost all the cargo is placed in the warehouse, just one large box that sits in the third trailer all the way in the back. \"Ok, all we got is one box lets move it.\" Joseph tells his men as he went inside with three men to help with this box. ‘These guys have really worked hard.\'
He thought. As he helped placing it on the forklift. Joseph made sure it was secured as the other directed the third man on backing up in the forklift. They rolled out with great ease and little difficulty. As they were rolling down the ramp place one the back of the trailer, the three men saw that something was very wrong.
All the other men were lying on the floor. Joseph ran to the nearest one. He checked his vital signs. ‘He\'s alive;\' as he looked closer he noticed a small dart on his chest. He pulled it out for a closer look. \"Tranquilizers?\" he got up and to turned around only to find the men he was just helping the box with also knocked out with a dart in there neck. He pulls out his gun from its holster. He stood there silently to hear his surrounding area. The sudden sound of rushing air hits his hearing. He jumps to the left and dodged a dart that was shot from behind. He fires his weapon in the direction the dart came from. \"Come out wherever you are!\" Joseph shouts throughout the yard. The rustling of footsteps on the grass gets his attention. He quietly runs to the spot where he heard the sound. He goes around and behind the warehouse, only to see nothing but grass and fences. The silence was broken by the sound of a engine roaring and racing off. Joseph rushed back to the truck trailer. He saw that the box had been open with a motorcycle. He looks towards the gate and sees a person riding a second cycle riding away and trying escaping. Joseph runs to the cycle still in the open crate. The cycle being a 2005 Kawasaki Ninja with the keys in the ignition and puts on the helmet that was put placed on the seat. ‘Cant let him escape, god please have gas.\' He was thinking as he turned the key. The engine started without any stalling. ‘Thank god.\' Joseph shot out of the warehouse yard began to pursue the second cyclist. \"How im I going to find him?\"
A voice than came from the helmet. \"Tracking cycle number 39573\" Joseph jumped a little from the voice. \"Who\'s that?\" he asked the computerized voice. \"I am RAVEN. Property of Bright Raven Technologies.\" on the visor of his helmet showed a G.P.S. grid map with a red dot blinking. \"The cycle is at 5 miles from present location traveling southbound on 826, shortest route for incursion mapped out.\" the map grid then shows a shorter route though the back streets and alleyway. \"I can see why Mr. Roldan wanted all this locked up.\"
Joseph speed though the streets as it was mapped out. Joseph finally made it on the highway.
\"Target enclosing, 50 meters, 40 meters,30 meters, 20 meters.\" the computer voice said.
Joseph was now behind a car transport truck. \"Target located ahead of vehicle 68 Miles per hour.\" the computer tells him. Joseph accelerates buts stays a steady speed behind the truck.
\"What else can you do, RAVEN?\" a small list appears on the top left of the visor. \"I have 8 different weapons, 2 are non-lethal, the other 6 weapons are lethal.\" Joseph began to think for a minute. \"What are the 2 non-lethal choices?\" he asks. \"An E.M.P. Gun, emits a concentrated electro-magnetic pulse at a locked on target, effect: complete electrical shut-down of internal systems.\" the computer replies. \"And the other one?\" he asks. \"The Nano-Hack system, this weapon allows me to hack into any computer system and control it and use it against the target.\"
\"That sounds effective, activate the Nano-Hack and deactivate the second cycle.\" Joseph said with a confident voice. The cycle still behind the truck. Joseph speeds up and is now at the left side of the truck. \"Initiating Nano-Hack........\" said the computer as Joseph got closer to the cycle. He was now at the drivers side and could see the second cycle on the right corner of his eye. \"Error.....Error....System Malfunction!\" the computer warns Joseph. \"What wrong?\" he asked. \"My system does not allow my weapons to operate on another BRT system.\"
the computer responded. Joseph than started thinking. ‘If this bike is restricted to use weapons on another Bright Raven System, then obviously that means his bike cant attack me.\'
\"Target Approaching exit\" the computer warned him. \"Ok, it looks like I\'ve got to stop him by force.\" he than accelerated and got right next to the bike. The other cyclist was also wearing his helmet, so Joseph couldn\'t see his face. The thief noticed the second bike next to him and a voice came from inside Joseph helmet but it wasn\'t the computers.
\"Mr. Ramos, finally caught up, good I was beginning to think I missed judged your skills.\"
Joseph realized it is a 2 way radio built in to the helmet. \"Stop The Bike Now!\" Joseph shouted.
\"Im sorry but I don\'t take orders from law enforcement.\" with that said the thief shot into high speed and heading towards the exit.
Joseph kept on his tail trying not to lose him. The two bikers were racing down the city\'s streets in Hialeah the thief still ahead of Joseph pulls out his weapon from inside is jacket, a 44 magnum. Holds the gun with his right hand and keeps his other hand on the handle. Joseph catches up with the thief and there are side by side. Joseph slams into the other bike, but the attack hardly phases the thief. The thief than aims his gun at Joseph. He notices and brakes just before the first shot is fired.
On a near by street corner,
A police cruiser sits with two City of Hialeah police officers inside talking.
\"So I get him the video game and it turns out my ex-wife bought him the same game with a new system to play it on.\" the officer behind the drivers seat said.
\"She\'s trying to make you look bad.\" said the officer on the passenger seat.
\"That\'s what I think......\" there conversation was cut short by the sound of loud engines and apparent gunshots. \"What the hell is that?\" the officers said in unison.
Two motorcycles race with the one in the lead opening fire at the second one. The officer in the drivers seat than turned on the sirens started the car. As he speed off to pursue the two cycles. The other officer grabbed the microphone of the radio.\"This is Unit 571, We are in pursuit of two motorcycles heading southbound on Palm Avenue. Requesting back-up, proceed with caution suspects armed and extremely dangerous. over.\"
\"The police are now in pursuit.\" the computer told Joseph. \"Put the radio on there frequency.\"
He said fully knowing what to do already. \"Scanning radio waves.............frequency detected\"
Joseph than began to speak to the officers though there radio. \"This is Joseph Ramos of Bright Raven Technologies. I work as head of security. Im in the second cycle in pursuit of a thief who has stolen government property. It is extremely dangerous you must stand down or else your lives are in danger.\" after a few seconds the voice of one of the officers came over the radio. \"Copy that we have official confirmation of your identity, Negative on the stand down. We have a blockade ready and waiting.\"
As the thief stayed at high speed he was unaware of the blockade of police waiting for him at the Hialeah Metro Rail station. Joseph knew he had to do something. ‘If I don\'t stop him now he might use his weapons on the police.\' Joseph saw that the thief was reloading his weapon.
‘This is my chance.\' Joseph accelerated and got right next to him. He slammed his bike into his.
The thief was caught off guard, dropped his gun and began losing control. But he was able to stay in control. ‘Okay that didn\'t work.\' He thought to himself.
\"Come now, You would have to do better than that.\" the voice of the thief came through the radio. \"Police blockade in sight.\" the computer told him. Both cycles came close enough to see the blockade of 4 police cruisers and 8 police officers standing next to there cars with there weapons aimed at the thief. Instead of slowing down, the thief speed-up. Joseph stays as close as he can. An officer at the blockade can be heard shouting orders. \"FIRE!\" the officers fired there weapon at the cyclist. He quickly turned to the left towards the metro rail station and crashed through the handicapped entrance of the station. ‘What\'s he doing?\' Joseph was confused but followed right after him. The thief than rode his bike up the escalator with little difficulty with Joseph right behind him. They both were now on the boarding floor of the station. Joseph stayed on his tail as he raced his bike off the boarding floor and on to the train tracks.
\"This man is insane!\"
Joseph shouted as this hot pursuit was now on the elevated tracks of the metro rail.
\"Still in pursuit, I\'m impressed.\" the thief\'s voice came over the radio once again.
Both were now out of City of Hialeah police jurisdiction.
The sound of a helicopter approaching caught both there attentions. Almost out of no where a white helicopter with the words \"City Of Miami Police\" flies right at eye level next to Joseph.
The pilot looks at Joseph and gives him a thumbs up. The helicopter than passes Joseph heading towards the thief. ‘No, he\'ll die!\' he thought about what to do.
\"CHOPPER FREQUENCY NOW!!\" the helicopter was now directly in front of the thief. \"Frequency located.\" The computer said. \"Do not engage, do not engage! You have no idea of the danger!\" the helicopter was at a distance from the cyclists and was now hovering.
The voice of the pilot came over the radio \"Sorry, we have a job to do.\" the Helicopter turned showing the left side. The left side door open by a SWAT officer with sniper rifle.
‘Oh god.\' Joseph then accelerated and just as he was about to reach the thief. The tracks around them began to rumble.
Joseph knew what was about to happen. \"My luck can not possibly be this bad.\"
A light up a head shined closer and closer. a train was approaching and the thief hop his bike on the adjoining tracks on his left. Joseph acted quickly and did the same.
the 2 motorcycles flash by the Metrorail station with people looking at the unbelievable sight. The 2 cycles were now heading towards the downtown station.
A loud voice came over the choppers P.A. system. \"This is City of Miami Police, stop the vehicle at once or we will resort to Deadly force.\" The thief continued speeding though the tracks passing another Metrorail station. The thief pulled out his gun and put one silver bullet from his belt pocket into the chamber. The sniper began to aim with his rifle. The thief aims his weapon also and fires that one bullet onto the chopper hitting the rotor. He places his gun back in his jacket. The pilot looks at the thief. \"All that and he missed?\" Just then his instruments began to go haywire. \"This is AV13, im losing control something short circuiting the system.\"
The helicopter movements became more unsteady, the sniper was unable to aim correctly and missed his target. The chopper than began to spin in the air and slowly descend to the street.
\"Im going to attempt an emergency landing.\" The pilot grabs on to the controls and tries to stay in control long enough for him to land. The chopper still spinning was a few feet from an intersection, people began running for cover from the falling aircraft. The chopper touched the ground. The chopper still spinning on the street. \"I cant shut her off.\" the chopper was spinning towards a near by building and the choppers tail slammed into it and the tail broke off the chopper. Soon after the choppers spinning died down and settled on the street. The pilot came out of the totaled Helicopter. \"I hate those kinda of rides.\"
Joseph still in pursuit. They were now heading towards the Metrorail Government center in downtown Miami. The tracks go through the building. As the thief got closer he began to speed up. The station floor was now approaching, he hopped off the tracks on to the station floor with Joseph still behind him. He crashed through the handicapped entrance once more. He raced down the escalator. He continued out the open doors and began going down the stairwell already outside of the station. But half way down he stopped in his tracks and Joseph behind also stopped, A whole line of police officers stood there with there weapons drawn, completely surrounding him. Blocking his escape with two cruisers parked in front of the stairs.
An officer with a bullhorn steps gets out of his vehicle and began to speak.
\"This is Captain Michael Stevens of the Miami-Dade police department. You are surrounded. Get off the cycle, place your hands on your head and lay on the floor face down.\"
The thief said nothing but took his hands off the handles and got off the cycle.
Joseph watched his every move. the voice of the man he had been chasing softly spoke through his helmet. \"Well Done, Mr. Ramos we should do this again sometime.\" as the man began to get to get on his knees. The motorcycles headlight flashed with such extreme brightness that it blinded most of the police officers and Joseph. As soon as they were able to see again the thief was gone, but the cycle was still there.
\"How did he escape? Who was that man?\" were the only questions on his mind as the police spread out to search the area. \"They wont find him. Its like he planned every second of this chase. Was it a test?\" he knew he would see that man again and that the answers he was looking for would come along with him.
In the downtown area of Miami at Bright Raven Technologies building. There are three black semi-trucks with long black trailers and 6 black suburban surrounding the trucks, at the loading dock of the building. two garage doors open and the trailers open for loading 4 men were packing boxes into the truck.
Each box marked either :Classified Material or Government Property.
A man in black suit next to one of the suburban is talking on a cell phone. \"Yes sir, everything is being loaded up as we speak. We should be on the move with in the hour.\" the man in the suit speaks into the receiver of his cell phone. \"I will report back to you sir, as soon as we\'ve reached our destination.\" the man in the suit closes his flip phone.

Joseph thought to himself.
The Next Morning
Joseph sitting at his desk filling out papers. When there\'s a knock on his door.
\"Come in\" Joseph replies. The door to his office opens and a man about Joseph height walks in wearing a black business suit and a tag clipped to his jacket. He has short blonde hair and green eyes with a light complexion. Joseph looks at the man, not knowing who this is. He looks at the tag on his vest and says visitor in red letters. Joseph gets up to greet the stranger.
The man than speaks \"Hello, Mr. .....Ramos?\" he says slightly unsure if he is in the right office and extends his hand as Joseph walks around his desk and reaching to shake the mans hand. As he shakes his hand he looks closer at the tag above visitor a signature Jonathan R.
Joseph than looks up at the man. \"Mr. Reyes, Welcome im your new supervisor. Please sit down we much to discus about your new assignment.\" Joseph than sits down at his desk. Jonathan sat on the chair that was on the opposite side of his desk. \"New Assignment, sir?\"
The recruit asked. \"Yes Mr. Reyes here is your new assignment for the next 3 years.\"
Joseph replied and handed him a file. Jonathan receives the file and opens it sees a picture of a girl around the age of 9. \"Im assigned to the presidents daughter?!\" He said in a surprised manner trying not to look shocked.
\"That\'s right recruit, for the next 3 years she is who you are going to protect. Im putting a lot of faith in you. I\'ve read you file and you have a qualification that the this group of recruits don\'t have.\" Joseph said has he pulled out Jonathan from a drawer, behind his desk.
Jonathan looked slightly puzzled when he asked. \"What\'s that, sir?\" Joseph than looks at him. \"First let me ask you, do you love your sons?\" he asked. \"Yes, sir.\" Jonathan answered.
\"You would give your life to save theirs, right?\" Joseph asked. \"Of course, sir.\" Jonathan answered with a little bit more understanding to his supervisor\'s point.
\"I\'ve chosen you, not only because you have the right education or because your physical fit or your training that\'s just tell me your just like everyone here. What makes you different is that you\'re a family man, you know what\'s like to have kids and be around them. That\'s exactly what the president is looking for her daughter. A fellow father, understand?\"
Jonathan then gives a slight smile. \"Yes, sir. I understand, I wont let you or the president down.\" Jonathan gets up and extends his hand once again to Joseph who is also getting up, shakes his hand. \"You start tomorrow, be at the White House at 6:00am. You\'ll be briefed on her Daily routine. Don\'t be late. Good bye\" Joseph said. \"Good-bye, sir.\" Jonathan than walked out of the office.
2 years later. Tokyo, Japan
A long black limo with 2 flags on the hood one the American flag the other with the seal of the United States of America drives though the city streets with 2 black suv\'s trailing ahead of the limo and 2 behind the limo. Also with several local police units around the limo guiding the limo though the closed off city streets. In the limo sits the president and his family with Jonathan sitting next to Ana the presidents daughter and Joseph sitting next to the driver.
The limo turns to the Hotel\'s underground parking garage.
The president looks at his wife. \"I hope this conference goes well, dear. If they do japan and the U.S. will be helping other countries with environmental problems.\" the first lady smiles. \"Don\'t worry yourself. Tomorrow everything will go smoothly.\" she said trying to reassure her husband as the limo followed the to suv and police cruisers though the entrance of the underground garage.
Joseph than speaks into his earpiece. \"The package has arrived, open service entrance, over.\"
As Joseph waiting for a response, two police cruisers blocked the entrance as they were ordered to keep outside threats from coming in. As the other the remaining police cruisers stay with the limo. Joseph can see the service entrance. But sees no one there. Joseph than turns to the president. \"No need to be alarm, sir just please wait a moment.\" Joseph opens the passenger door and exits the limo. He begins to check the surroundings, he notice a police officer in his cruiser wearing the typical uniform for a Tokyo cop. Blue Long sleeved shirt and hat. But as he looks closer as the officer stretches his arms the sleeve on the officer pulls back a little and a tattoo of a dragons head appears. ‘Yakuza!\'Joseph expression turns fearful.
He casually gets back into the limo and without looking at the driver. \"Get us out of here!\" with no reaction from the driver, he looks straight at him \"Get us....\" the driver leans forward lying on the steering wheel. \"What the hell?\" he looks at the driver and sees a bullet hole in the back of his head. Joseph looks towards the presidential family only to be looking into the barrel Jonathan\'s gun with silencer attached to his standard 9 millimeter weapon. Joseph looks at Jonathan. \"You betrayed us!\" Joseph says with a rage filled voice. Jonathan just gives a smile and tells him \"Wrong, because I was never on your side in the first place.\" Jonathan than chuckled. \"Me, Im in it for the money with some help from the Yakuza. Im about to make a large deposit in my bank account.\" Jonathan than keeps his weapon aimed at Joseph. A dark figure than walks up to the back passenger window on Jonathan\'s side. Everyone than looks at the figure that\'s outside of the limo.
Jonathan\'s smile grows as he makes his way to open the passenger door. Joseph looks at the president look just as rage filled as Joseph and the first lady trying to keep their daughter calm.
Jonathan reaches for the door handle. But just before he opens it he looks at everyone. \"Mr. President, Joseph, Id like you to meet the person who made this all possible.\" he opens the door and scoots a bit to the side to let this person in. A Japanese woman slowly sits down in the limo next to Jonathan. \"Everyone, this is my lovely and deadly wife Jennifer Tsuruoka. Also know as ‘The Youkai\'. That means ‘The Demon\' leader of the Tokyo Yakuza.\"
Joseph eyes widen in shock. \"Son of bi...\" Joseph is cut off when Jonathan firmly aims his gun at Joseph. \"Now, Mr. Ramos. We cant have that kind of language in the presence of a child.\" Jonathan remarked as he turned his attention to ana who was being held closely by her mother. The first lady gave him a cold stare. \"You\'re a monster!\"she says with a hate filled voice. Jonathan then cracks a smile as he replied to her out burst. \"No I am not, Madam. Im a capitalist. I see an opportunity and I take advantage of it. One of the many things that makes America great.\" He still kept his weapon aimed at Joseph. Since he was the only threat
in the vehicle.
\"Now, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. This is my wife, say hello koibito1.\"
His wife then kissed him on the cheek. Then began speak to the hostages with a smile.
\"Hello, As my husband already told you im Jennifer Tsuruoka. First allow me to welcome you to Japan, Mr. President.\" she smiles at the gray haired man in the tuxedo. \"Thank you.\"
The president says with a sarcastic tone. \"Your welcome.\" the woman say with a disturbingly pleasant smile. ‘This woman is talking to us like we\'re at a dinner party!\' Joseph thinks to himself as ‘The Demon\' continues to speak. \"We are only here for the girl once we take her we will be on our way, we will contact you on how we want the transaction to be done.\"
The first lady then hold Ana closer. \"Over my dead body!\" The president remarked.
The woman expression then turns cold. She reaches down her pocket and pulls out a set of Polaroids and throws them at the president. He grabs them and looks at them with the most fearful expression. Joseph wonders what he is looking at. The Demon then showed a smile of satisfaction at the presidents reaction.
\"That\'s exactly what your Secretary of State said, Yesterday when we tried to obtain his son.
Don\'t make the same mistake he did. It cost him his life and of his wife and that of his son.\"
Jonathan was looking at his wife as she continued to speak not paying attention to Joseph.
‘Now\'s my chance.\' Joseph than slowly move his right hand from the top of the seat to the radio of the limo. Since he sitting in the front passenger side no one is able to see him. He presses the volume button on the radio and the digital screen on the radio begins to flash,
‘A L E R T.\' The flashing ceased and the radio screen returned to the time 12:34pm
The Yakuza leader continues to talk.
\"Now Mr. President, Give us Ana and we will spare your lives.\"
The sound of an approaching helicopter can be heard in the distance. Jonathan then looks above him, knowing that a helicopter is now hovering above the parking garage.
\"Uhh...Koibito?, I think we should go.\" The sound of gunfire echos throughout the garage.
All the occupants of the limo attention now turned to the entrance of the garage where the 2 police cruisers where blocking the way in. Four disguised Yakuza were taking fire from the outside. Three Yakuza members hit the floor and the other running for his life. Jonathan turns back to Joseph with a great sudden feeling of anger and hate and leaps forward shoving the gun into his face. \"YOU BASTARD!! YOU LEAD THEM HERE DIDN\'T YOU?!\" Joseph just sat there, silent with no expression on his face. Joseph\'s silence just enraged Jonathan even more. Jonathan\'s voice lowered and calmed himself down as he cracked a smile. \"Well Mr. Ramos with a rewarding experience working for you, but here\'s my letter of resignation.\"
Jonathan then cocked his gun.
Jennifer than came up from behind and softly grabbed his arm, placed her head on his shoulder and whispered into his ear. \"No, Why kill him? It would only make him a hero. Instead....\" she than grabbed Jonathan\'s gun and aimed at the president. \"Make him live the rest of his life knowing he failed to uphold his duties and honor.\" Joseph tries and make a grab for the gun, But Jonathan punches him. A single silenced gun shot, than a momentary silence looms. Broken by the sounds of a child\'s crying for her father to wake up. Joseph recovers from the punch and looks up at the president covered in blood all over the chest. Jonathan and Jennifer open the limo door and exit the vehicle.
Jonathan can be heard talking on a walkie talkie. \"Cover us, we heading to the roof.\" All thirteen disguised Yakuza than move towards the entrance holding AK-47s position themselves around the entrance with out being seen.
A large tank-like vehicle with a battery ram with the Japanese symbol of protection on the end, plows right though the two police cruisers blocking the entrance.
The Yakuza open fire on the tank, of course not doing any damage to the tank. A small window on each side of the tank opens with gunfire blasting out at the Yakuza members with six shot down and seven still standing. One yakuza lights a cigarette, as he calmly goes to the police cruiser he was in opens the trunk, pulls out a large duffle bag. He closes the trunk door and walks in the direction of the tank. The yakuza member is now standing several feet away from the tank. He gets on one knee, opens the duffle bag and takes out a rocket launcher. Places the launcher over his shoulder and begins to aim with the targeting screen. Pulls the trigger, the rocket shoots out heading towards the tank.
Inside the tank a small screen lights up. \"Projectile Warning: Initiating Counter Measure.\"
The flat end of the battery ram slides open, as the rocket continues heading closer to the tank. Four small balls shoot out of the battery ram. The rocket hits one of them and large explosion fills the surrounding area and takes out more other Yakuza. The man with the rocket launcher just looks at the tank with a completely neutral expression. He takes another puff of his cigarette. \"Figures.\" he puts down the rocket launcher and walks into the shadows as if nothing happen.
A team of six enter the garage with SWAT gear on. A loud speaker mounted on top of the tank echos with the voice of a man speaking in Japanese than again the same voice repeats in English. \"This is Tokyo Police Sargent Yota Horibuchi, lay down your weapons and kick them away, place your hands behind your head and get on your knees.\" The swat team aims the guns at the remaining four members. The Yakuza members place there guns at the floor and kick them towards the SWAT team. They get on the there knees and placed there hands behind there head. As SWAT members begin placing the yakuza under arrest.
Joseph looks out the rear window and sees that the real police have taken control. He opens the door and yells to the SWAT team. \"I NEED A MEDIC!! THE PRESIDENTS BEEN SHOT!!\" A swat team member goes to Joseph. Than Joseph points to the president in the back seat covered in blood. The swat member begins to speak Japanese in his headset radio. The man than turns to Joseph. \"They on there way.\" Joseph thankful that the man speaks English. \"Thank you.\" Joseph than grabs his cell phone. Dials a number and wait for an answer. \"Agent Daniels, I need all available agents on active call now! Put all personals on the presidential family.\" Joseph puts the cell phone back in his pocket and looks at the 4 black SUV\'s that came in with them, all the agents inside the SUV\'s have been shot once in the head. \"My god.\"
The president had been taken to the hospital where it was discovered that the bullet missed his heart by a centimeter. After a successful 4 hour surgery, He fully recovered and returned to Washington D.C. But Joseph resigned when he returned to America, stating that he failed to do his job. As for Jonathan and Jennifer they were never caught and are still at large.
It was later discovered though a investigation that Jonathan\'s file had been fabricated so was Jennifer\'s and that those weren\'t even there real names. the pairs real names were never discovered. They have been placed as number three and four on the FBI top ten most wanted list since 1995. Joseph was offered the job of Head of Security at Bright Ravens Offices and warehouses in the Northeast. But because the Head of Security for the southeast offices was killed in the explosion. Gonlazo called on Joseph to over see the transportation of classified information and weapons to a more secure location.
Back to the year 2004.
As the last box was being loaded up, Joseph than shouted to the men that are under his command. \"Ok, Let rev up and move out!\" Joseph looked at his watch \"6:33pm\" walked to one of the black Suv\'s and got in the drivers seat. The rest of the men got to there position. Two men in each truck, four in each Suv. Joseph started the engine and three men entered the car. Joseph than drove out of the loading dock with the three semi-trucks following and the five other Suv\'s followed the trucks. After about 10 minutes they where on the highway and the sun had already set. On the highway Joseph still stays in the lead, The Suv\'s are in there positions with one on each side of the first truck and one on each side of the third truck. The remaining Suv stays on the rear of the third truck. Joseph than speaks into his headset. \"Ok men, keep your positions and stay with the trucks.\"
45 minutes later
The motorcade arrived at gate entrance to a warehouse yard in West Hialeah.
The lead suv pulls up to a keypad console with a security camera next to it. Joseph lowers the driver side window. He enters \"4-9-6-7-3-2\" and a computerized voice comes from the speaker box \"Please enter voice verification code\" Joseph leans a bit closer to the speaker box. \"Raven shines in the darkness.\" the gate than begins to open as soon as the gate was fully open Joseph went in and the rest followed. As the last Suv entered the gate began to close.
Once in the warehouse yard the suv continued to lead until it came across warehouse 7.
The trucks stopped and everyone turned off and exited there vehicles. The team began unloading the boxes using a forklift. Joseph over saw to make sure that everything went as planned, he pulled out his cell phone and one the phonebook feature picked Mr. Roldan Cell. He waited for an answer. Gonlazo picked up. \"Hello.\" Joseph than began with his status report. \"Hello sir, I\'m calling to report that we are at the secure location unloading the cargo and will be done with in a three-hour period.\" Joseph reported with a sense a satisfaction that everything has without problems. \"Good work Mr. Ramos, once everything is put in its place you and your men may have the weekend off. Im going to have a secondary team patrol there in the morning to guard the cargo until it can be brought back to the downtown building.\"
\"Yes sir, thank you sir.\" Joseph says with a smile.
\"Good bye, Mr. Ramos, see you on Monday.\" Joseph hangs up and puts the cell phone away.
Joseph than shouts to his men. \"Listen up men, I got good news, the boss gave us the weekend off if we can finish up in the next three hours!\" the men cheered for there reward.
‘I know the boss didn\'t say that, but motivation is motivation, they\'ll finish up twice as fast now.\' Joseph thought to himself.
About 2 and a half hours later.
Almost all the cargo is placed in the warehouse, just one large box that sits in the third trailer all the way in the back. \"Ok, all we got is one box lets move it.\" Joseph tells his men as he went inside with three men to help with this box. ‘These guys have really worked hard.\'
He thought. As he helped placing it on the forklift. Joseph made sure it was secured as the other directed the third man on backing up in the forklift. They rolled out with great ease and little difficulty. As they were rolling down the ramp place one the back of the trailer, the three men saw that something was very wrong.
All the other men were lying on the floor. Joseph ran to the nearest one. He checked his vital signs. ‘He\'s alive;\' as he looked closer he noticed a small dart on his chest. He pulled it out for a closer look. \"Tranquilizers?\" he got up and to turned around only to find the men he was just helping the box with also knocked out with a dart in there neck. He pulls out his gun from its holster. He stood there silently to hear his surrounding area. The sudden sound of rushing air hits his hearing. He jumps to the left and dodged a dart that was shot from behind. He fires his weapon in the direction the dart came from. \"Come out wherever you are!\" Joseph shouts throughout the yard. The rustling of footsteps on the grass gets his attention. He quietly runs to the spot where he heard the sound. He goes around and behind the warehouse, only to see nothing but grass and fences. The silence was broken by the sound of a engine roaring and racing off. Joseph rushed back to the truck trailer. He saw that the box had been open with a motorcycle. He looks towards the gate and sees a person riding a second cycle riding away and trying escaping. Joseph runs to the cycle still in the open crate. The cycle being a 2005 Kawasaki Ninja with the keys in the ignition and puts on the helmet that was put placed on the seat. ‘Cant let him escape, god please have gas.\' He was thinking as he turned the key. The engine started without any stalling. ‘Thank god.\' Joseph shot out of the warehouse yard began to pursue the second cyclist. \"How im I going to find him?\"
A voice than came from the helmet. \"Tracking cycle number 39573\" Joseph jumped a little from the voice. \"Who\'s that?\" he asked the computerized voice. \"I am RAVEN. Property of Bright Raven Technologies.\" on the visor of his helmet showed a G.P.S. grid map with a red dot blinking. \"The cycle is at 5 miles from present location traveling southbound on 826, shortest route for incursion mapped out.\" the map grid then shows a shorter route though the back streets and alleyway. \"I can see why Mr. Roldan wanted all this locked up.\"
Joseph speed though the streets as it was mapped out. Joseph finally made it on the highway.
\"Target enclosing, 50 meters, 40 meters,30 meters, 20 meters.\" the computer voice said.
Joseph was now behind a car transport truck. \"Target located ahead of vehicle 68 Miles per hour.\" the computer tells him. Joseph accelerates buts stays a steady speed behind the truck.
\"What else can you do, RAVEN?\" a small list appears on the top left of the visor. \"I have 8 different weapons, 2 are non-lethal, the other 6 weapons are lethal.\" Joseph began to think for a minute. \"What are the 2 non-lethal choices?\" he asks. \"An E.M.P. Gun, emits a concentrated electro-magnetic pulse at a locked on target, effect: complete electrical shut-down of internal systems.\" the computer replies. \"And the other one?\" he asks. \"The Nano-Hack system, this weapon allows me to hack into any computer system and control it and use it against the target.\"
\"That sounds effective, activate the Nano-Hack and deactivate the second cycle.\" Joseph said with a confident voice. The cycle still behind the truck. Joseph speeds up and is now at the left side of the truck. \"Initiating Nano-Hack........\" said the computer as Joseph got closer to the cycle. He was now at the drivers side and could see the second cycle on the right corner of his eye. \"Error.....Error....System Malfunction!\" the computer warns Joseph. \"What wrong?\" he asked. \"My system does not allow my weapons to operate on another BRT system.\"
the computer responded. Joseph than started thinking. ‘If this bike is restricted to use weapons on another Bright Raven System, then obviously that means his bike cant attack me.\'
\"Target Approaching exit\" the computer warned him. \"Ok, it looks like I\'ve got to stop him by force.\" he than accelerated and got right next to the bike. The other cyclist was also wearing his helmet, so Joseph couldn\'t see his face. The thief noticed the second bike next to him and a voice came from inside Joseph helmet but it wasn\'t the computers.
\"Mr. Ramos, finally caught up, good I was beginning to think I missed judged your skills.\"
Joseph realized it is a 2 way radio built in to the helmet. \"Stop The Bike Now!\" Joseph shouted.
\"Im sorry but I don\'t take orders from law enforcement.\" with that said the thief shot into high speed and heading towards the exit.
Joseph kept on his tail trying not to lose him. The two bikers were racing down the city\'s streets in Hialeah the thief still ahead of Joseph pulls out his weapon from inside is jacket, a 44 magnum. Holds the gun with his right hand and keeps his other hand on the handle. Joseph catches up with the thief and there are side by side. Joseph slams into the other bike, but the attack hardly phases the thief. The thief than aims his gun at Joseph. He notices and brakes just before the first shot is fired.
On a near by street corner,
A police cruiser sits with two City of Hialeah police officers inside talking.
\"So I get him the video game and it turns out my ex-wife bought him the same game with a new system to play it on.\" the officer behind the drivers seat said.
\"She\'s trying to make you look bad.\" said the officer on the passenger seat.
\"That\'s what I think......\" there conversation was cut short by the sound of loud engines and apparent gunshots. \"What the hell is that?\" the officers said in unison.
Two motorcycles race with the one in the lead opening fire at the second one. The officer in the drivers seat than turned on the sirens started the car. As he speed off to pursue the two cycles. The other officer grabbed the microphone of the radio.\"This is Unit 571, We are in pursuit of two motorcycles heading southbound on Palm Avenue. Requesting back-up, proceed with caution suspects armed and extremely dangerous. over.\"
\"The police are now in pursuit.\" the computer told Joseph. \"Put the radio on there frequency.\"
He said fully knowing what to do already. \"Scanning radio waves.............frequency detected\"
Joseph than began to speak to the officers though there radio. \"This is Joseph Ramos of Bright Raven Technologies. I work as head of security. Im in the second cycle in pursuit of a thief who has stolen government property. It is extremely dangerous you must stand down or else your lives are in danger.\" after a few seconds the voice of one of the officers came over the radio. \"Copy that we have official confirmation of your identity, Negative on the stand down. We have a blockade ready and waiting.\"
As the thief stayed at high speed he was unaware of the blockade of police waiting for him at the Hialeah Metro Rail station. Joseph knew he had to do something. ‘If I don\'t stop him now he might use his weapons on the police.\' Joseph saw that the thief was reloading his weapon.
‘This is my chance.\' Joseph accelerated and got right next to him. He slammed his bike into his.
The thief was caught off guard, dropped his gun and began losing control. But he was able to stay in control. ‘Okay that didn\'t work.\' He thought to himself.
\"Come now, You would have to do better than that.\" the voice of the thief came through the radio. \"Police blockade in sight.\" the computer told him. Both cycles came close enough to see the blockade of 4 police cruisers and 8 police officers standing next to there cars with there weapons aimed at the thief. Instead of slowing down, the thief speed-up. Joseph stays as close as he can. An officer at the blockade can be heard shouting orders. \"FIRE!\" the officers fired there weapon at the cyclist. He quickly turned to the left towards the metro rail station and crashed through the handicapped entrance of the station. ‘What\'s he doing?\' Joseph was confused but followed right after him. The thief than rode his bike up the escalator with little difficulty with Joseph right behind him. They both were now on the boarding floor of the station. Joseph stayed on his tail as he raced his bike off the boarding floor and on to the train tracks.
\"This man is insane!\"
Joseph shouted as this hot pursuit was now on the elevated tracks of the metro rail.
\"Still in pursuit, I\'m impressed.\" the thief\'s voice came over the radio once again.
Both were now out of City of Hialeah police jurisdiction.
The sound of a helicopter approaching caught both there attentions. Almost out of no where a white helicopter with the words \"City Of Miami Police\" flies right at eye level next to Joseph.
The pilot looks at Joseph and gives him a thumbs up. The helicopter than passes Joseph heading towards the thief. ‘No, he\'ll die!\' he thought about what to do.
\"CHOPPER FREQUENCY NOW!!\" the helicopter was now directly in front of the thief. \"Frequency located.\" The computer said. \"Do not engage, do not engage! You have no idea of the danger!\" the helicopter was at a distance from the cyclists and was now hovering.
The voice of the pilot came over the radio \"Sorry, we have a job to do.\" the Helicopter turned showing the left side. The left side door open by a SWAT officer with sniper rifle.
‘Oh god.\' Joseph then accelerated and just as he was about to reach the thief. The tracks around them began to rumble.
Joseph knew what was about to happen. \"My luck can not possibly be this bad.\"
A light up a head shined closer and closer. a train was approaching and the thief hop his bike on the adjoining tracks on his left. Joseph acted quickly and did the same.
the 2 motorcycles flash by the Metrorail station with people looking at the unbelievable sight. The 2 cycles were now heading towards the downtown station.
A loud voice came over the choppers P.A. system. \"This is City of Miami Police, stop the vehicle at once or we will resort to Deadly force.\" The thief continued speeding though the tracks passing another Metrorail station. The thief pulled out his gun and put one silver bullet from his belt pocket into the chamber. The sniper began to aim with his rifle. The thief aims his weapon also and fires that one bullet onto the chopper hitting the rotor. He places his gun back in his jacket. The pilot looks at the thief. \"All that and he missed?\" Just then his instruments began to go haywire. \"This is AV13, im losing control something short circuiting the system.\"
The helicopter movements became more unsteady, the sniper was unable to aim correctly and missed his target. The chopper than began to spin in the air and slowly descend to the street.
\"Im going to attempt an emergency landing.\" The pilot grabs on to the controls and tries to stay in control long enough for him to land. The chopper still spinning was a few feet from an intersection, people began running for cover from the falling aircraft. The chopper touched the ground. The chopper still spinning on the street. \"I cant shut her off.\" the chopper was spinning towards a near by building and the choppers tail slammed into it and the tail broke off the chopper. Soon after the choppers spinning died down and settled on the street. The pilot came out of the totaled Helicopter. \"I hate those kinda of rides.\"
Joseph still in pursuit. They were now heading towards the Metrorail Government center in downtown Miami. The tracks go through the building. As the thief got closer he began to speed up. The station floor was now approaching, he hopped off the tracks on to the station floor with Joseph still behind him. He crashed through the handicapped entrance once more. He raced down the escalator. He continued out the open doors and began going down the stairwell already outside of the station. But half way down he stopped in his tracks and Joseph behind also stopped, A whole line of police officers stood there with there weapons drawn, completely surrounding him. Blocking his escape with two cruisers parked in front of the stairs.
An officer with a bullhorn steps gets out of his vehicle and began to speak.
\"This is Captain Michael Stevens of the Miami-Dade police department. You are surrounded. Get off the cycle, place your hands on your head and lay on the floor face down.\"
The thief said nothing but took his hands off the handles and got off the cycle.
Joseph watched his every move. the voice of the man he had been chasing softly spoke through his helmet. \"Well Done, Mr. Ramos we should do this again sometime.\" as the man began to get to get on his knees. The motorcycles headlight flashed with such extreme brightness that it blinded most of the police officers and Joseph. As soon as they were able to see again the thief was gone, but the cycle was still there.
\"How did he escape? Who was that man?\" were the only questions on his mind as the police spread out to search the area. \"They wont find him. Its like he planned every second of this chase. Was it a test?\" he knew he would see that man again and that the answers he was looking for would come along with him.
