"What the hell" Charlie shouted as she stared at suzette on the floor. Something had knocked her down but charlie couldn't see it. "Idiot!!!!You left Yamato alone." Suzette snarled. "Yeah Yeah Tinkles(is a male) is with him." "You don't trust me very much do you?" With that question Charlie was knocked to the ground by an invisible force. Suzette tried to stand but upon doing so she realized her left ankle was badly injured. Putting pressure of any kind on it was excruciating. "Charlie get up!" Suzette yelled. Charlie flipped up onto her feet but could see nothing. "Where?.... Where is it?.." She stammered. Charlie had no weapon but stood at the ready "Duck left!" Suzette yelled. "Now right elbow up hard!" Charlie followed Suzette's orders. "Jump" "Dodge right" " Bring your knee up". Suzettes orders were connecting but Charlie was getting nowhere. She stopped and put her fingers in her mouth. "Wheeet Whooooo" She whistled. Moments later Tinkles came bounding around the corner Yamato slowly following. " Tinkles think you could lend us a hand?" The dog Barked in reply.

Tinkles lowered his head and stretched out his front paws slowly The air in the corridor was getting very hot. The dog seemed to be gaining in size and in fact it was. Tinkles' muscles expanded and the hair on the back of his neck stood up in what looked like slim fine razors. He barred his sharp teeth and looked directly at the spector that only he and Suzette could see. The dog lunged. He hit his mark. The spector was more startled then injured and struggled for only a short time with the dog before deciding to leave. "The three of you are fools do you have any idea who and what I am". The spector sneered. Even Charlie hear those words. "I'll Get all of you and your little dog to."(sorry I couldnt help it) The spector was gone.

Yamato rushed to where Suzette was sitting, concern burning in his eyes. She was fine it would not take long for her ankle to heal. Charlie thought"My God that girl is remarkable" "You could see that thing?" Charlie asked. "Yes quite clearly" Suzette replied. "Well don't that beat all." "Look I know the two of you don't trust me but we're all in a bit of a jam here. That thing won't leave us alone now that we've pissed it off. And whydoes it seem to have a hate on for Yamato?" " The three of us are just going to have to try and get along." "If You want keep your eye on me and I'll keep mine on you, but kids you two are all I got right now and I'm all you got." Charlie finished her little sermon and both Yamato and Suzette nodded . They had to figure out Who this spector was, or what it was and why did it decide on them.

"Umm....Charlie?" Yamato asked quietly "Hmm what?" She rplied. "Well about your dog......." He said. "Oh that hahahahahahahahahah Tinkles is one of those mutations caused from the fall out after the war. He's a good dog and trust me he is deffinatley someone you want to have around in a pinch."

"Let's Go!!!!" Suzette snapped. "If we're going to have to work together The two of you will just have follow me." She said. Yamato trotted off to his room and gathered his belongings. Suzette and Charlie simply stared at each other while they waited. "Is it the boy your worried about? Cause I don't want him, to scrawny of a kid." Charlie said. Suzette didn't speak but a calmness settled into her eyes. " Your a very interesting woman Charlie." Suzette remarked "Yeah your one hell of a piece of work too sweetie." Charled answered. "Don't Call me sweetie." Suzette said Charlie laughed " Alright then hun your the boss lady, here comes the kid, Where to now?"......
