Footage and Frustration

(I don't own the characters Chase Devineaux, Ivy, Zack and Lee Jordan whatsoever...remember as always, it's fictional)

Prologue

Jade Ezell's House

Living Room...Jade is frustrated over the news reports about ACME's reputation...

Chief Max Wells: *on the tv screen* I believe the President of our country is doing great and as the new Chief of ACME we will insure to help by government with their permission of course.
News Reporter (male): *on the tv screen* Does the President know about this?
Chief Wells: *on the tv screen* Not yet, but I know it will work for local and national law enforcement of either ours or any other countries.
News Reporter (female): *on the tv screen* You don't understand, Chief Wells, ACME never ask permission from any country's own government.
Chief Wells: *on the tv screen* I'm sorry, ACME should of ask permission first beforehand and please leave before I call security on all of you from the press.

News Reporter (another female): This is a disaster for all of us, as ACME's new Chief want permissions granted from the government, has ACME gone mad? Would we ever see any proof of evidence?

Jade: *after stands up still frustrated over Chief Wells' remarkable decision to let ACME ask permission to the government first before and walk to her room* This is a rough time for me and other ACME agents who can't do nothing with him leading the wrong way...I hate him, it's worse than having a new property management taking over the house in which I have to follow for now on. *Her Padphone beeped and Jade saw the text message that said: go outside and meet me now...and no time to lose Jade puts her on her socks and shoes, grabs her purse, house keys and Padphone, there was Preston, the investigative journalist for Crime Net Gazette in his SUV at the parking lot*

Preston: Glad you're here, Jade, let's head for Literary Haven immediately.
Jade: *as she enters Preston's SUV* I hope there's evidence of what happened.
Preston: *as he starts driving* There sure is...and it deals of what happened around Pennsylvania.
Jade: I know and I believe, Lee Jordan's history, right?
Preston: You'll have to find out when we get there.

Chapter One

Literary Haven (Remember Thanksgiving Blues)

'Private Room'

*Jade knocks on the door after she and Preston arrived*

Eliza: *voice only* Who is it?
Jade: It's me, Jade!
Eliza: *voice only* Oh, good, I'm glad it's you, Jade and not that Chief Wells, are you alone?
Jade: No, Preston is with me. *As Eliza opens the door and sees Jade and Preston*
Eliza: Thank goodness you show up...*to Arthur Chance quietly* she's here!
Arthur: *quietly* Thank you, ma'am! *As Eliza leaves, Jade and Preston came in*
Jade: *quietly* Arthur, I'm glad you're okay, I was hoping...
Arthur: *quietly* Agent Sterling is fine, he got out of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin in time.
Jade: *quietly* Right now, I'm frustrated over him [Chief Wells] and everything else.
Arthur: *quietly* Don't blame the government and some new laws that make people gone very crazy.

Preston: *quietly* It's true, even my editor-in-chief is not impressed.
Arthur: *quietly* In fact nobody is...however, I've got something for you.
Jade: *quietly* What is it?

Arthur: *quietly* Allow me *as he starts up his laptop computer and put in his password*
Chase Devineaux: *voice only* Jade Ezell, are you there?
Jade: Yes, I'm here...*gasped* Chase Devineaux, where in the world are you?
Chase: *voice only* I cannot tell you where I am, I'm just wanted to inform about what happened with our colleagues, including Commander Ivy Monaghan, her brother, Detective Zachary Monaghan and of course, Detective Lee Jordan.

Jade: *gasped after she sits down on the chair* Chase, I'm afraid Lee's history after what happened in Pennsylvania.
Chase: *voice only* You're afraid Jordan's history from that jailbreak blast? *Jade nodded her head yes*
Jade, I don't think Jordan's history in fact we don't know but I do have a footage from an informant who was working as a prison guard there in Smithfield Township, Jordan along with his cellmate, Steven Combs were there at that time.

Jade: Who is Steven Combs?
Chase: *voice only* Let's just say he was an innocent man being of robbing his father away other than that his father didn't want him to succeed his company.
Jade: What of a company his father running?
Chase: *voice only* A sporting goods company according to the police, but there was suspicion Mr. Combs run some illegal hunting big games for his 'sponsors' around the world and rigging sporting games to make him rich to pay off his debts.

Jade: And he blames his son for it.
Chase: *voice only* Exactly, after he passed away his assistant took over the company and stills run his illegal business.
Jade: What is his assistant's name?
Chase: *voice only* Chad, we don't anything from him, however, we don't have any information from him except his father's lawyer wants to keep his son in prison forever.
Jade: That's not right, Chase.
Chase: *voice only* I say so, Jade, so enjoy this footage all will be revealed to you. *Preston's cellphone rings*
Preston: I've better answer this call, Jade.
Jade: Go right ahead, Preston! *As Preston goes out the door, while Jade watches the footage of what happened in Pennsylvania*

State Correctional Institution at Huntingdon in Smithfield Township, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, USA

Cellblock 10

Lee: *to Steven* I'm glad you're about to be outer here.
Steven: Yeah, again there wasn't any evidence against me, it's my father's fault he put in this place.
Lee: Then it should've been your father in prison, not you.
Steven: He blames me for being 'too nice' for nothing and now, his assistant and what's worse, Linda, my obnoxious socialist ex-wife are happy they over my father's company and his 'business' continues to boom without finding out from the press.

*All of the sudden a bomb blast from one of the prison cells and the alarm went off*
Steven: *shouted for a prison guard* JAILBREAK!!! JAILBREAK!!! *Until a prisoner came to the cellblock with a remote control he gasped*
Prisoner: Sorry you two but you're not invited.
Lee: What do you...*and surprise without finishing his sentence the prisoner press the button, and the screen has gone white*

Jade: *as Preston came back* Oh no, Lee!
Preston: Did I miss something?
Jade: You sure did, Preston, it was a jailbreak and somehow a bomb detonated and I don't know if Lee and his cellmate [Steven Combs] made it out okay from that blast.
Chase: *voice only* At least Jordan didn't escape, somehow that was it from the prison guard there, I'm keep you posted on Jordan and Combs' whereabouts.

Jade: Thank you, Chase!
Chase: *voice only* And you head home and don't tell no one about what you saw.
Jade: Understood, Chase!
Chase: I will get any information from Commander or Detective Monaghan soon, Preston, if you please.
Preston: Yes, sir! *As Jade stands up from the chair*
Jade: Thank you, Arthur for coming!
Arthur: You're welcome, I'd better go, Preston, I hope that isn't Chief Wells on your cellphone.
Preston: That's my editor-in-chief on the phone. *As he and Jade leave the 'Private Room'*

[End of Chapter One]

Chapter Two

Jade's House

*After Preston drop Jade off...Jade checks the mail mostly some for her friends at her house like medical bills not being paid, unlocks her door back to her room, puts back her house shoes on*

The Den

Jade's Mind: *Jade uses the house computer to check if she has any e-mail messages* I can't believe Lee didn't escape; I wonder what's going on there? *Jade gasped as she saw something from an anonymous user that said, 'Don't bother finding no one because no one will help you.'

Jade's Mind: At this moment there's going to be a lot more of consequences than chance of stopping evil if all of ACME are in the stand still no thanks to Chief Wells and whoever wrote it is going to be the worse humiliation in my entire life. *Jade is downcast sweat on her sad face*

The Next Day...

Jade's House

*After her mother drops off Sam and Socks to Jade*

(Remember cats don't talk but their own mind does)

Socks' Mind: This stinks, brother!
Sam's mind: What is it, Socks?
Socks' mind: Boy, I hate when Jade didn't go on an adventure.
Sam's mind: Not since that new Chief of ACME ruining her life and change all the rules by getting permission from the government against very dangerous criminals and right now everything is worse than the litterbox being stench up the whole time.

*Socks' face is sad and with downcast sweat when the doorbell rings and Jade answered by looking at the peephole and opens the door there was a male nurse for one of her friends*


Sam's mind: At least she went one time helping out with Mario, Scooby-Doo and Casper without anyone notice. [Remember Jade's Valentine Surprise]

*Then another doorbell rings and Jade open the door there was Preston*

Preston: Hey, Jade and oh my, who do we have here?
Jade: Preston, these are my cats, Sam and Socks!
Preston: Are they yours?
Jade: Not really, Preston, but my mother took care of them because there's no room for a litterbox there's just for a visit.
Preston: *raising his eyebrows* Really?
Jade: *with downcast sweat on her face* Oh okay, they always come with me sometimes helping me and ACME out.
Preston: Cats can be curious all the time, and sometimes the cat distribution system can make a cat pick a person did you ever heard of that?

Jade: All the time while watching cats and kittens on The Dodo channel on YouTube.
Preston: Yeah, some cats could end up travelling the world, live at a good home or even help out in medical or even can help the law enforcements.
Jade: All true, Preston!

Preston: Well, Jade, I'm glad you're here and did you the message yesterday.
Jade: I did and I'm disappointed of the message.
Preston: What does the message say?
Jade: Don't bother finding no one because no one will help you.
*Preston frown with an expressionless face*
Jade: Who would send that message and why?
Preston: That I can't figure it out, however, we're going to Mocha Tabby.
Jade: Just let me get everything ready including you two furballs [Sam and Socks].

Preston: Oh, good, I remember Mocha Tabby is a good place here for coffee and cats.
Jade: Why Mocha Tabby?
Preston: Eliza told me to go there instead of Literary Haven due to some renovations on the 'Private Room'
Jade: Figures!
