Lance sat there, stunned for a moment. Then seemed to toughen up a bit. "Oh I'll go home alright. But don't think I'm not coming back. What kind of man would I be to leave you to the wolves?"
Lance carefully removed Zara from his lap and stood up, straitening his clothes out a bit. "I've been working on a few things that'll help keep you and me safe. Don't worry about me, I've lived a good life, and since you were last in my life, things were pretty dull anyway." With that and a quick wink, Lance was out the door.
On his was back to his place he called up Guy. Guy answered the phone, "Hey Lance! I wasn't sure if you were still alive. So did you like my little surprise."
Lance chuckled, "Little? Nearly gave me a heart attack."
The two laughed and Lance continued, "Anyway Guy, I need you to look into something for me."
"Sure go ahead."
"It's called Genome. It's some big time secret agency or something. Ever heard of it?"
Guy's face turned down. "Yeah I've heard bits and pieces about it, but I never liked what I heard. Why do you want to know about them?"
Lance shrugged as he pulled up to his shop, "Well, it seems I may have gotten involved in one of their projects."
"What? Lance are you nuts?!"
"No more than usual."
"Well yeah, but still man. Are you not so fond of living? I mean why?"
Lance shook his head, "I don't really know why. Call it honor or fate." Lance sighed, "Can you help me?"
"Yeah, I'll see what I find, but I'm keeping my head WAY down, under ground even. You'd best do the same."
Lance chuckled, "Well, okay, but it seems I've already stuck my neck out."
Guy sighed, "Okay. Be careful buddy okay?"
"YOu to. Good bye."
"Bye."
Lance shut off his comm box and stepped into his lab. No one was there to greet him, which he took as a good sign. Instead of going to bed he started organizing all the little tools and gadgets he'd need. He'd show Zara he wasn't as worthless as she seemed to think of him.
