13 Minutes:36 秒 Until Detonation

    Kowalski was at the computer with Skipper right behind him. After going through 9 different firewalls, Kowalski managed to get to where he could get the signal unjammed. “OK Skipper. Get ready; I’ll only be able to get the signal unjammed for 8 秒 until Blowhole sets up another firewall.” Skipper got in position. “Ready.” Kowalski hit a button. “Now!” Skipper typed a quick message, & sent it. But the signal went dead in the middle of sending. “Blast! Only half the message will be sent! Let’s hope she’ll...

5:23am

    Suddenly the TV turned on with Blowhole on the screen…his usual way of making contact with the team. “Well, well, well. I see I knew 你 4 well enough after all…” He said. The team still wore confused expressions. “What are 你 talking about?” Kowalski asked suspiciously. “Kowalski! I’ll handle this…” Skipper said. “What are 你 talking about?” Skipper then repeated. Blowhole answered in a calm tone. “Well, 由 becoming Kowalski’s boss, I knew he’d go crying to 你 3…” Kowalski’s face twisted in anger. “I didn’t cry to anybody!”...

5:16am

    Kowalski had checked the feed coming in from Blowhole’s office. There he was sitting at his 台, 办公桌 on his computer. The team snuck out of the bathroom (Kowalski went first & shot a Freeze Frame at a camera, then signaled the team to follow) and quickly made their way to Blowhole’s office. Rico had his dart gun in hand, opened the door & the team rushed in, Private locking the door as instructed. But when Rico fired the dart, all the dart found was chair.

    The team looked at each other with confused expressions. Dr. Blowhole wasn’t...

4:48am

    Skipper made his way to the door & snuck in. He decided he would take the back since there were the most cameras he had to deal with. He snuck around the corner, & shot a Freeze Frame at the first camera & made his way past the first hallway. There was no entry door to the staircase on Skipper’s route…so he had another idea. Once he made his way to the elevator (causing him to use 2 更多 Freeze Frames along the way), he pressed the “down” button on the wall. The elevator came down & the doors opened, luckily the camera in the elevator was...

Baxter’s Incorporated, Manhattan, New York

    The team had woken up at about 4am & now were getting ready to get inside the building. They had with them a small pistol in their holsters, a dart gun (5 knock out darts that would leave a man out for 2 hours & 5 darts that would freeze a camera feed for 30 seconds), & of course their keycards. Kowalski had already gotten in the building and was now on his way up to his office on the 7th floor. His earpiece was on, awaiting the ready signal from the team. He then walked into his...

7:38pm

    Kowalski was in his makeshift lab in the penthouse apartment. He was in the far corner of the room, carefully analyzing the magnetic strip in his keycard. All was quiet except the ticking of the 墙 clock. The others were in the living room, carefully looking at the blueprints of the 18 story building they were planning on sneaking in to & details on the security system on Kowalski’s laptop. Skipper was giving Rico & Private the lowdown. “OK, there are 4 entrances. You’ve got the front entrance, the back entrance, & 2 side entrances. Kowalski...

5:27pm

    Skipper was the first to recover from the shock. He spoke slowly & lightly. “What? Why didn’t 你 say anything?” Kowalski developed a lump in his throat. His palms began to feel sweaty again. “Because I didn’t want us to do anything that would cost me everything. If I get fired, there’s going to be no reason whatsoever that will get that company to hire me again. If Blowhole so much as catches a glimpse of 你 3 there, it’s bye bye job.” The others just looked at each other, then back to Kowalski. “Kowalski…We are the best, most elite team...

HQ, Midtown, New York

    The team had just finished eating breakfast & was cleaning up the dishes. Skipper, worried about Kowalski’s silence, walked up to Kowalski. “Hey soldier. 你 know, 你 haven’t 说 a word since 你 came back to HQ last night…Is something wrong?” Kowalski cringed inside. He was afraid of what Skipper would do if he told him. Especially now that he’d left it alone this whole time. “Nothing. I’m just…beat. That’s all.” Skipper wasn’t convinced. His gut was telling him that something was horribly...

6:43pm

    Kowalski had just finished his work for the day. He shut down his computer, turned the lights off in his office, & was now on the elevator, on his way up to meet his new boss. His 心 was pounding fiercely & his palms were starting to become sweaty. The elevator stopped, opened, & Kowalski stepped out slowly, allowing the elevator doors to shut behind him. He took a deep breath & started walking when he reached the door to his employers’ quarters. He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, slowly turned the knob, & cautiously walked in....

It was 5:50am and Kowalski was putting the finishing touches on his human disguise ray. He was even up before Skipper. He set the holograms to "automatic life like" and added a program that will allow the holograms to know they were holograms, but to keep it a secret.
When the alarm went off, the other three woke up and they quickly went to a garbage can to hide so they can transform.
"Now, the 射线, 雷 will also allow us to wear clothing that'll match our personalities," Kowalski proclaimed finally.
When the four were zapped, they were changed completely.
Skipper was wearing a military style boxing...

I didn't walk into this to write some overly dramatic cliche " It was a dark and stormy night...." crap. This is serious business, here, and I'm not too sure I'm keen on sharing it.
I'm not sure what to feel anymore, but I can tell 你 one thing: Scars run deep. That's a 给 in this game. It's do 或者 die, and I don't want to do either. Knowledge carries a high price, I've learned. Too much can be dangerous. Too little makes 你 expendable. In the game of Life, I'm sure we're all in agreement here, there should be cheat codes.

About a 年 ago, I moved to New York City and tried to change,...

2001

"Do you, Amanda Claythorne, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Asked the preacher. "I do." Amanda 说 happily. The preacher smiled. "And do you, Hans Gruber, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Hans looked at his wife to be. "I do." He 说 in his Danish accent. "Then 由 the powers invested in me...I now pronounce 你 man and wife. 你 may 吻乐队（Kiss） your bride." The preacher announced. Amanda and Hans shared a kiss, and their 老友记 stood and clapped lightly.

3 Years Later...

Hans came running into the apartment, he was still wearing his military uniform, but it...
