Nothing really new has happened after global TV�s incident. The Butcher has checked out the hospital in London and flew to Manhattan with his good friends Cody and Tomorrow Man. Max Danger cannot have a cow though cause The Butcher paid with his own money. Anyway, The Butcher is now sitting in St. Catherine�s Hospital next to his adopted father, �Stubby� Sal, who has been in a coma for months. The Butcher has not said much these past few days and has been in deep thought, contemplating what he�s going to do. He doesn�t know where Mr. Warlock took Nikki and he�s sure that Mr. Warlock only kidnapped her to force the gfwa OMEGA Commissioner into his game. The Butcher knows that Mr. Warlock will contact him on Nikki�s whereabouts because that is the only way the game will continue. He squeezes his father�s hand, wishing that he would wake and make everything better. But things will not get better and he knows it. That is why he went out and applied to buy a hand gun. By next week he hopes to put a bullet in Mr. Warlock�s head and end the insanity that Mr. Warlock has bestowed upon him the day they met. The Butcher will not endure failure though. If he does not end Mr. Warlock he will surely end his own life. Nikki�s disappearance has hit Cody really hard and he hasn�t said much either. He sits in a downtown restaurant with Tomorrow Man. He ordered a cheeseburger but it has long since gone cold as he stares out the window into nothing. A cute female walks by the window but Cody doesn�t even look at the gorgeous girl. He doesn�t care for any other woman than Nikki right now. He fears for her life because deep down inside he is in love with her. Everyone around him believes that he is just joking every time he flirts with Nikki but that isn�t true. If �love at first sight� exists, Cody was pierced in the heart the minute he set eyes on Nikki. It was as if he knew her forever but now she was gone and he was lost in life. With each passing day, hope of finding Nikki gets smaller to him and his hatred for Mr. Warlock grows by the minute. He doesn�t want to kill Mr. Warlock like The Butcher though. Cody would rather break Mr. Warlock�s limbs off and watch him slither around the earth for the rest of his life like the snake that he is. Then he would crush him with his F-150 truck and leave his rotting corps in the middle of the road for more vehicles to run over him until a hillbilly family took him home and ate him for dinner. That would he justice to Cody. Tomorrow Man remains to be the level headed one of the three. He reaches over the table and takes Cody�s plate and begins to eat the cold cheeseburger because he knows Cody won�t. Tomorrow Man fears for Nikki�s safety as well but he understands what Mr. Warlock is doing. He understands, just like The Butcher, that Mr. Warlock does things for a reason and kidnapping Nikki appears to be a ploy to get The Butcher. He knows that Mr. Warlock has evil things planned for the three and when they receive the clue on where she is, they will fall into his trap. But Tomorrow Man remains optimistic even though he knows that he�s as big of a part of this as Nikki. But he doesn�t want to kill Mr. Warlock though. He hopes that in the end Mr. Warlock will see that his ways are wrong and just disappear, never to be seen again by Tomorrow Man or his friends. But he knows that it highly unlikely. The GrimReaper sits in a straw shanty with no remorse for what he has done. He was given the mission by the man that has done everything for him and he accomplished it. The mortal behind the skull mask that hides his true identity has assured his soul a place in Hell for he committed the ultimate friendly sin: betrayal. His mask hides his face from humanity but the higher powers know who he really is and what will become of him. Since that Sunday night when he kidnapped Nikki, the GrimReaper has been in contact with new friends that he has gained in the underground revolutionary cult. Just last week he purchased a large ocean liner crate full of weapons to destroy his one time friends. He sits there cleaning his new M-16 rifle and pointing it at the wall at times to test it�s balance and feel the power he now possesses. He has taken this war to the next level. Wrestling skills will not aid in destroying the enemy. The new gun will. He is unaware that The Butcher has also purchased a gun and plans on killing him as well. He sits back in comfort and chuckles to himself thinking he�s the one in control. The Butcher�s brother Sam, now stationed in Pakistan ready to fight the war against terrorism, learned of Nikki being kidnapped via e-mail. He is e-mailing his brother back and is sending his best wishes in the effort to find her and wished that he could help. He is confident that The Butcher will find her but he hopes that his brother does not do something he will regret. He types his hope at the end of the e-mail but The Butcher will not heed his warning. Nikki is now in an undisclosed area, trapped in a jail cell. She wishes she knew where she was and hopes that The Butcher is in hot pursuit. The jail cell has a bed and a toilet like a normal prison cell. She is given food three times a day and a gallon of water to last her the day which sometimes gets flies in it. A Latino guard stands by with a rifle hung over his shoulder and every 6 hours he is replaced with another Latino guard. Nikki looks on the bright side of things and notices that she was fortunate enough to have a cell with a caged window. She is looking out the window now at a lush jungle, watching military vehicles driving by with Latino troops riding in the back. Although she isn�t quite sure where she is, she knows why she was kidnapped. Mr. Warlock wants nothing to do with her; she�s just a ploy for what he really wants. So like her true self, she doesn�t act like the damsel in distress, and pisses off the guard by throwing her food bowl at his head. The guard touches his head and sees that is it is bleeding. He yells out in Spanish and points his gun at her. He is poised to shoot her in the head but Mr. Warlock comes to the rescue and tells the guard in Spanish that he will kill him and his family if he ever shot her. He then takes the gun and leaves. The guard is not happy and tells Nikki that he will rape her by the time this is done. She laughs and calls him �fag boy� in Spanish and points to her ass. He starts to beat on the cell door and yells in Spanish at her. Latino troops break in, take him away to cool off, and he�s replaced by another guard. Nikki looks at him with those seductive eyes and begins to think how she could piss him off. Finally, Mr. Warlock has walked back to his office and answers the ringing phone. After a few moments he slams the phone down angered. He receives a phone call from the same person everyday and he never looks forward to the it. He sits down at his desk and plots what he�s going to do to the three remaining members of Platoon 5 as his army grows by the hundreds each day. At last count he has 1,564 soldiers and 22 of them are among his elite. They are his most dangerous soldiers that he personally trained individually. He wishes he could have had 25 of them but those missing 3 appear to be his most dangerous. He reaches into his desk and takes out a blue binder which contains a profile and personal notes of each of his elite soldiers. He reads over The Butcher, Cody and Tomorrow Man�s profiles and notes each day, reinforcing their characteristics into his memory. He knows all of their weakest and strongest points and recognizes that they, although outnumbered, could easily destroy all of his work. And that is why he must destroy them. It�s the law of the jungle. Kill or be killed. He understands that The Butcher is the strongest, smartest, and has a reason to destroy him. That is why he must kill The Butcher first. He puts the binder away and starts to write something on a piece of paper. A soldier walks in a takes the paper at Mr. Warlock�s request. Then he laughs because that paper is going to lead The Butcher to his doom.
