Mother Narine Getskilled always hated the rain, it was such a gloomy weather pattern. She was never really one to stop and consider that it may be gloomy, but it's a gloomy weather pattern full of life without which the entire world would be desolate and dry. Perhaps not as gloomy, but certainly more unbearable. Today the rain made it difficult to follow the black car that she, and her mercenaries, The Flush, were in pursuit of. They finally caught up with the car as it sped towards eastern Delmor, close to the turnoff for Snottsborn Industries. Clipping its fender, she sent the black car into a violent spin, accentuated by the rain-slicked roads. The car flipped, twice, and Mother Getskilled, along with the Flush, pulled off to the side as it came to a rest. "Get out of the car Don, we know you're there!" Groans echoed from inside. Ace ordered BlackJack to open the doors, he did so, tearing them clean off and tossing them to the side.
"The Don isn't with us, Narine." A voice said from inside.
"James!" It was the planted informant who had the GPS dot on him, "Where'd he go then?"
"He's joined the League of Special Individuals."
"The League of Special Individuals? Those crackpots that Mother Superior was trying to recruit? Hmm." She got out her phone and dialed base, "Torch them," she said over her shoulder as she walked back to the car. The Ace of Pain obliged, willingly, tying James, who appeared to be the only conscious person in the car who wasn't trapped under something, to the car frame with his seat belt.
"Safety first," he chuckled, slicing open the gas tank.
"Wait! Getskilled! I worked for you! You backstabbing b***h."
The cigarette flicked over his shoulder as the five members of the Flush followed Mother Getskilled to the car, the Ace of Pain kind of wished that real life could move in slow motion, because this would be a perfect moment.
"They're where?" Mother Getskileld was saying into her phone. "No, don't send anyone, we're closer. Yup. The old duck farm. Any word yet on Superior, Jane? No? Okay, thank you." She flipped the phone back into her pocket and drove off, leaving the towering inferno that was most recently a Rolls Royce behind.

The Spoon began to navigate the alien alleys to find the source of the alarm. His lack of experience in Delmor was beginning to show as he had no clue where the alarm originated.
