TOP FLIGHT: FBI Chapter 11
 

(No offense to anyone named John)
 

Ace and Lexi stepped out of the car. They shut and looked the doors of a blue mini-van.
 

“Gotta say Tech's got taste, huh?” Lexi said sarcastically gesturing at the vehicle.
 

Ace chuckled, “Ya. A mini-van is just da t'ing.” They both laughed.
 

“Hey, if you guys are done we have an assignment to attend to.” Tech's voice rang in their ears from a small, near impossible to see, communication device. “All right Tech. We were only having some fun.” Lexi said. “Well, it's time for you two start acting like a couple, and I ask you again, don't hurt the robot.”
 

Lexi looked down at the robotic infant strapped to her. It didn't move much. The baby was in sleep-mode, and, just as it sounds, looked as if it was sleep. Ace looked up at Lexi. She had the same look of sadness that she did earlier, but this time, now that he got a good look, Ace would have classified her expression as more of a longing.
 

Ace was about to ask if she was okay, but she spoke first. “Come on! Let’s get this assignment over with.” She snapped as her face hardened, and she started to walk away from the car.
 

'Well she's her peachy self again.' Ace thought. At this time Ace decided to take a look around the area. Tech was exaggerating when he said it was a family friendly area. There were houses with nice sized yards, picket fences, trees everywhere, and many families that were playing out in the yards. Ace never realized that there were places like this in the city. This area reminded him of some small towns.
 

He saw Slam with an ice cream truck. Kids surrounded it, some with their parent, some with older siblings, and others just with a pack of friends. Duck was placing mail in boxes, and talking to a citizen every now and then. Rev was at the door of a more elderly woman, getting her signature as he handed her a package. Duck gave Ace a small nod; Ace returned it.
 

“Come on Papa give Mama some attention.” Tech's voice said again. Both Lexi and Ace made a small moan, neither of them liking the code name they where given. They heard someone snickering.
 

“Oh shut up, Rev!” Lexi said as she and Ace remembered anything anyone said could be heard by the others. “Hee Hee sorry Lexi.” Lexi sighed in annoyance then looked at Ace. They stood there. Ace was hesitant about placing his arm around her shoulders or waist so he decided holding her hand would suffice.
 

Lexi agreed with his choice as they both smiled and continued walking. Now they really did look like a young couple with there son.
 

“Okay guys keep an eye out Derek Finch. He may be anywhere right now.” Tech said. Ace suddenly felt a small ball coming at his face. From reflex he stopped where he was and caught it.
 

“Oh my, I'm sorry there sir.” A ferrite, male, anthro said while walking up to them. He was all white with brown eyes wearing blue shorts and a gray tank top, “I hope you're alright.”
 

“Fine, I'm fine.” Ace said trying to give back the ball.
 

“One moment please. Jake, come here young man.” The ferrite called over a young, 6 to 7, ferrite in the same colored shorts and shirt. “I want you to apologize to these people. You could of hit their baby.”
 

“Yes daddy.” The little one walked up to Ace and Lexi. “I'm sorry for hitting you sir, and I apologize for the fact that I might have hit you ma'am and your baby.”
 

“Ne, no problems dere kiddo. No one got hurt.” Ace said giving him his ball back. “Nice kick though.” Lexi added.
 

“All right son go play with your brother.” Jake ran back to where he had been playing with his dad and bother, “I'm sorry about that folks.”
 

“Well mannered kid you got dere.” Ace said.
 

“You know I don't think I've seen you two around here before.”
 

“We're kinda new around here.” Lexi said. “We're thinking of moving hear. Isn't that right honey?”
 

“Yup.” Ace, seeming to forget about his hesitant ways, placed his arm around Lexi's waist. Lexi realized what he was doing and rested her head on his shoulder. “We're t'inking of extending the family and living in the main part of the city isn't dat appealing anymore.”
 

“I here that. Well I'm Dave Lexmark, and I live over there with my wife and three boys: D.J., Jake, and Ralph.” He pointed over to a two story house at the end of the street where two boys where playing kickball while a woman holding a baby watched.
 

Ace knew now that it would be polite to introduce himself, but knew they weren't able to give there real names, “um...My name is Avery Clark. This is my wife...Lola and our son John.”
 

They shook hands and then Dave said, “Well it was nice to meet you Avery, Lola. Best I be off. If you have any questions I'm right down the road.”
 

When he was away far enough Lexi started to lightly laugh. “Ne, what’s so funny?”
 

“John? Oh come on Ace! You had to pick such a common name?”
 

“That’s all I could think off da top of my head!”
 

“I fell sorry for the woman who has your kids.” Lexi snickered again. “You guys did well for off the top.” Tech said, “But now you should be on the search.”
 

The two rabbits sighed and looked around. Then Lexi saw him. “Over there. The house next to the...Lexmarks was it?” Sure enough they all saw their target.

TOP FLIGHT: FBI Chapter 12
 

“Alright Lexi, I'm about to take the baby out of sleep mode,” Tech said, “Everyone move towards that house. If you see ANYTHING, move in and advance. Got it?”
 

“Roger” was everyone’s respond. Lexi watched as the infant strapped to her started to stir and woke up. She smiled at 'John' as he made little noises that are common with young children. Ace and Lexi advanced forward in the direction of the Lexmark's house.
 

“Hey dere, Dave.” Ace waved to the ferrite. Dave came over, “You t'ink you can help? We're a little confused by da way dis street is set up.”
 

“Oh, sure thing Avery.” Dave said to Ace then turned to Lexi, “If you like you can wait hear with my wife Sara.”
 

“That would be great. Besides I think little John here might want to be out a little.” Lexi then looked at the robot, nuzzling it as she said in a 'baby talk' way, “Yes you want to be out, don't you?”
 

The baby giggled as she did this. 'She really dose look like a mother, but by the way she acts, I doubt she wants to be one. Pity.' Ace thought. Lexi walked over to the female ferrite. They exchanged a greeting and went into the house. Ace went with Dave as he showed him the area.
 

“So Lola, is John you guys’ first?” Sara asked Lexi as she laid a blanket on the white carpeted floor.
 

“Ya, but we’re eager to start growing the family.” Lexi replied as she set 'John' on the blanket next to the Lexmark's baby. Lexi took off the carrier and set it next to the green couch as she sat down with Sara.
 

Tech used the control's back at the Top Flight building to control the robot. He made it crawl up to a big window that looked into the window of the building where their suspect was hiding. Tech zoomed the cameras in the eyes to see what he was doing.
 

That's when he saw it. Derek Finch held a small black disk in his hands as he quickly shoved it into one of his pockets.
 

“We got him! Move in NOW!” Tech ordered.
 

Derek moved out side and started walking out on the side walk when he caught site of Duck, Rev, Slam, and Ace coming at him at a steady but quick pace. He swallowed as he realized who they were. Panicking, he grabbed the closest person he could and placed a gun to their head.
 

“JAKE!” Dave yelled from where he stood next to Ace. He was about to run to his son when Ace stopped him.
 

“Sir, it's best you let us handle dis.” Ace said.
 

“Who are you?” The terrified father asked.
 

“FBI.” Lexi showed her badge to Sara. After hearing her husband yell out there son's name, Sara had went to the door to see what was happening when Lexi had stopped her. Lexi now had her ear to the door, but all she heard was a few muffled murmurs.
 

“Don't scream. No mater what happens.” Lexi said to Sara. The frightened ferrite shook her head in yes.
 

Slowly Lexi opened the door a crack. She could see Finch holding someone.
 

“BACK OFF!” He yelled, “YOU THINK I WON’T SHOOT THE KID?”
 

Lexi felt anger pulse through her body. Slowly she reached for a small gun strapped to her ankle and opened the door slowly. Ace and the others saw Lexi coming out of the building. They had to distract Finch.
 

“Listen doc, you can go. Alright, you can just go,” Lexi was completely out of the building. She looked at the frightened older brother, giving him the 'shhh' signal as she pointed to her badge in her pocket, “Ya hear me? You'll go free if you just put da gun down. We won’t follow ya.”
 

“I've heard that before man! You'll follow me! You'll kill me if you get your hands on me. I'll take the kid with me, and if you follow me, you'll have his death on your hands.” Finch said as the boy shook in his hand.
 

“You won’t shoot him.” Rev said.
 

“I WILL!”
 

“No you won’t.” Duck added calmly.“I will. I will. I will.” Finch said getting scared. Then, right next to his head, he heard the noise of a gun ready to shoot.
 

“Even if you think so, you will not harm that child.” Lexi said as she held her gun steady against his head. “But don't think I will not SHOOT YOU, DAME IT!”
 

“Put the gun down, doc. You don't want to do dis.” Ace cooed.
 

Finch dropped the gun down to the ground and let go of the kid.
 

“Run kid.” Lexi said.
 

As told, the ferrite went running into his dad’s arms. Lexi quickly cuffed Finch and let Slam take him away. The crowed that had gathered around, cheering the 5 agents on. After collecting their equipment and making a few comments, the agents left.
 

In the car, Ace could see Lexi was still tense.
 

'The robotic baby is on off mode in the back set. So that can't be what has Lexi all tense this time.' Ace thought. He decided to voice his question, “Somethin' wrong, Lexi?”
 

Lexi looked at him and sighed, “How could some one do that!? Hold a small kid hostage! Let alone kill one?! It's just-...It's not right! To kill something so small and so innocent...” She trailed off. Ace watched as the anger in her eyes melted into a deep melancholy. Ace didn't press the issue any further, and for the rest of the ride, they remained silent.

TOP FLIGHT: FBI Chapter 13
 

“Good work, agents,” Zadavia praised, “You caught Finch, retrieved the stolen items, and did it with out anyone getting hurt. You are all dismissed.”
 

Zadavia left the room and the agents all got up.
 

“Come on, let’s get lunch.” Rev said, the others murmured agreement as they got into the elevator. They placed their debriefing folders in their offices and headed to one of the building’s lunchrooms.
 

After getting his food, Ace looked around for a place to sit. There were many tables where agents from all around the building sat and chatted. Duck waved Ace over to a table where he, Rev, and Slam sat with their meals.
 

Ace sat next to Slam.
 

“Showr youkgi ldjlikeing youirstsdc day?” Slam grumbled.
 

“Can ya repeat dat, Doc?” Ace replied.
 

“Slam's just asking you how you’re likin' your first day.” Duck clarified.
 

“All right, I guess. Reminds me of the old days...I have to say, Lexi did a good job today.” Ace looked around, “Where is Lexi?”
 

“Over there.” Duck pointed to another table where Lexi was sitting by herself. She had her jacket draped across the back of her chair and she was reading a book. Tech came over and sat across from her. She looked up, smiled, and set down her book. The coyote and bunny started to talk.
 

Ace looked back at the others, “Why do dey sit over there?”
 

“It's not they,” Duck said taking a bite of the sandwich he was having for lunch, “It's only her.”
 

“What do ya mean? Tech's wit' her.”
 

“Now, but she usually sits alone. Only every so often does one of us sit with her. It's been that way since she first joined the force.”
 

“Duck's right.” Rev added.
 

“Why dose she sit alone?” Ace asked somewhat leaning on the table.
 

Duck gave him a look, “Why do you kneed to know?”
 

Ace sat up, “Well...She's my partner now, right?”
 

“Uh-huh. Well, she just likes being alone, okay? It takes her a long time to get close to someone.”
 

“Exegsesptdjf fjsoler Tech.” Slam added.
 

Rev nodded, “He's right. Except for Tech. They connected pretty quickly.”
 

“Ya, well, Tech was the first friendly face she saw...Besides, he was given her file when she joined. He knew what happened and was supportive of her.” Duck replied to the roadrunner’s comment. 'More references to the accident, no doubt.' Ace thought to himself as he started to eat his meal, 'What was this accident? When was it?'
 

“You coming in on Friday?” Tech asked Lexi.
 

She kept her eyes on her food as she answered, “You know I will, Tech. What would make you think otherwise?”
 

“Oh I don't know,” He talked as if what they where talking about was a normal conversational piece, “The fact that Friday is THE day I just thought...”
 

“Well stop thinking, okay! In all the years I've worked here I've never taken that day off. Nothing’s going to change now...Besides I need to keep an eye on the new guy.” Lexi gestured to the table where the others sat.
 

“Lexi, with the new guy here and all, I think it might be best if you stay home. You know as well as I that you’re never on your best side when it's that day.”
 

“Tech, I'll be fine.” Lexi was getting annoyed and the coyote could sense it, but still he pressed the matter.
 

“I can tell you've been thinking a lot about Benge.” Lexi straitened up and glared at her team mate.
 

“Tech! Don't you EVER say Benge's name to me again!” Lexi said in a quiet yell. Her voice was strained with sadness and cracked a little. She stood up, taking her jacket and book, and tossed her fork on her plate. After that she left the lunch room.
