PREVIOUSLY ON RECKLESS REVENGE:
I Rich Baztad,
was infected with a virus,
whose antidote is my child's blood.
But my child and his mother was captured by Diana,
who I have to rescue from the DDA's custody.
We successfully got into the DDA by crashing into it's death dump,
where all but Leo is out and breathing.

"He's dead Rich", Liang said after several attempt to bring Leo back up, "don't say that, please don't say that", I said as my eyes fumed in tears, "not Leo too", I said feeling Lois's hand on my back, "quit this Rich, you are running out of time", Liang added, I immediately charged at him , "are you out of your mind! We just lost my friend! Our pilot!...you wanted him gone didn't you?", I yelled at him pushing till his back landed on the tree, "Rich", Lois called with a hand on my shoulder, "he's right, Rich; you are running out of time", Lois said softly from behind, "yeah man, chill", Liang added taking my hands of him, and began hitting the dust off his shirt, I looked at him still p_ssed as though he was the one that killed Leo, I know he was jealous of him, "besides I dont have my bag pack to mix up any potion that can at least ease the pain when it kicks in, so we better get to Diana, fast enough to get her out in time for her to get us to the mother and child whose blood is your antidote.
"We can't just leave Leo here!", I said looking at Leo's corpse, "arrghh!!", I yelled, "time's up!", Liang said as I fell to the ground, "can't you do anything", Lois asked Liang, "I can't think of anything", he replied as the pain I felt increased tremendously, "Rich please stay with me", Lois added crying, "there's one", Liang said looking at Leo's corpse and making a face, "what's that?", Lois asked, "am not sure he would like it", Liang added; the pain slowly creeped into my head and I eventually lost conciousness.
I woke up and it was night, the place smelt terribly, so offensive I can't relate with anything I had smelt before. We were in a room, I got up slowly trying to observe the place, "Rich", Lois said excited to see me up, "where are we?", I asked, "We are in Luke's crib", she explained, "Who's Luke?", I asked, "I am Luke", a young boy said as he walked close to where I was, "hi Rich", he added looking at me straight in the eyes, "what are we doing here?", I asked, "well....", Lois added intertwining her hand.
"You fainted and....and was giving a part of Leo's body and some other herbs we got from the DDA's forest to get well, serving as a temporary but long lasting antidote as long as you dont stress too much", she explained, "a part of Leo's body!!", I exclaimed as my mind flashed back to Liang looking at Leo's corpse, I knew he had something stupid in mind.
"what part?", I asked not really wanting to know, "you dont want to know she replied, "f_ck!", I muttered, having something really disgusting in mind.
"Afterwards, we had to carry you through the woods in search for a place where we could camp quietly, on going we ran into Luke", Lois who was narrating was interupted by Luke, "you mean! I found you guys", he said, "yeah you found us", Lois replied with an attitude, "I found them walking cluelessly with a man in their hand, so I actually wanted to raise an alarm, but I was also curious to know what they wanted to do with the man's body, but then I saw an opportunity to escape from this hell they call an academy", the boy explained, "so this rude boy stopped us threatening to raise an alarm if we refused to take him with us on our escape", Lois added, "so we had no choice but to go with him", she further explained, "where is this?", I asked, "this is an underground crib I have been working on secretly for days", Luke explained, "alone?", I asked, "no, I and 2 of my friends", he said, "f_ck!", I muttured, "and you all want out?", I asked, "yes, we all want out", he replied, "sh_t", I muttered.
"We can help", he said to me, "where are the rest of them now?", I asked, "they are in the DDA", he replied, "are'nt you suppose to be ther?", I asked, "not really, sonia and randy got my back", he replied, "uhhh!", I exclaimed putting my hand on my face and looking down confused, "it's ok Rich", Lois said with a hand my back, "I have something", she said, "what's that?", I asked as I looked at her rough and tired face still able to wear a cute smile, "a map", Luke said after bringing me the DDA's blue print.
"Can I get a chair, a table and a latern", I asked, "we have non of that apart from the latern, but provide you with a susbstitute for them all", Luke added.
I was given a bucket placed in front a cut tree, and a lamp, "Give me a couple of minutes", I said as I began to strategize. I spent a while trying to memorise the entire map, as well as strategise an attack and an escape.
Rich", Lois called, "we have to share this", She said as she got closer holding up an apple. I had been so occupied I didn't even realise that I had not eaten in a while, shortly after she came back with the apple divided into three, for herself, I and Liang.
"Luke!", I called after eating, "how many gaurds are in the dungeon?", I asked, "I really dont know but I know for a fact that it is heavily protected with men on suits, that wont think twice before shooting a rat that trespasses", he explained, "are there any tecnologically based defenses?", I asked, "hnmmm. there's is the mini gattling gun it gets triggered with the alarm at the main cells entrance, and fires randomly, "so that's what this is", I said pointing at the map, "alright, can you get us some gaurd suits?", I asked, "all the gaurds have bar code on their shirt no two gaurds can have the same bar code", he replied, "nothing has changed", I muttered, "that means two gaurds won't be going to work tomorrow", I said with a hand on my chin.
"Liang what do you need to make sleeping pills?", I asked Liang, "just a couple leaves I saw on my way here could make a pretty decent knock out drug", he replied, "Luke could you guys go get them?", I asked them, "alright", Luke said and they left.
"I guess it's just you and me", Lois said, "yeah!", I replied with a heavy breath, "I love how hard you've been working", she said with a hand on my shoulders, "and how much you've grown since I met you", she said, "we have to device a way to get into the dungeon", I said interrupting her, "you said you were good at hacking right? Do you think you can hack those guns?", I asked, "I can try", she replied, "but I don't have any device on me, my purse is in the death dump", she replied, "you can use mine", I replied checking my pocket for my phone, "where's my phone", I asked, "I don't know, the last time I saw it was in Leo's...", she said and paused, "I could have sworn I took it out of the death dump, I remembered putting in my pocket before diving in again, it must have fallen ", I said still searching myself, "besides, for it to stand a chance of working I need my phone, I have something already programmed in it that can help break into the DDA's security", she said, "meaning we have to go get it", I said standing up, "are you out of your mind", she asked as I closed the map and looked at her.
"We have to Lois, it's the only way", I said to her, "besides I don't know how long your temporary portion is going to last, I said as I touched my back, "Liang says it was going to last a while", she said, "and he didn't specify how long?", I inquired further, "not really, he just said we have to keep changing the leaves on it", she replied, "alright, let's go while it's still dark", I replied, ".....f_ck!! I really do not like the idea but how are we supposed to find the plane in the death dump?", she asked, "now that's a problem", I replied and began to think.
While we thought Liang and Luke arrived, "were you guys able to find it", I asked, "them, yes we did", Liang replied, "we have to change the leaves on your back", he added, "what's wrong?", he asked as he walked closer to us and noticed Lois's puzzled face, "we need to get my phone from the death dump, and we cant locate the plane in it", she replied, "why didn't you say so, I actually realized I need my bag as well, and if locating is the problem then leave that to me", he said, "really?", Lois asked excited, "yeah, all we need to do is to put a bit of.....", he said and was interupted by Luke, "It's ok with your weird chemical, I have had enough, just do what you have to do!", Luke said aloud and Liang began laughed, "alright fine, just go into the death dump and follow the green trail, it will lead you straight to the plane", he said selecting leaves among the ones they brought, "since you are going into the death dump I dont think it will be neccessary to put new leaves on you", he said while squeesing the juice out of some of these leaves he had selected out, "he isn't going in there again", Lois said, "don't worry Lois, I'll be fine", I replied, "it's ok scare crows, take this, put it in the death dump wait a while and follow the trail", Liang said giving to me what he had been mixing, "I am coming with you!", she added, "I am as well", Luke also added, "come back here you!!", Liang said to Luke, "I need an assistant, we need this prepared on time to settle", Liang added, "Luke just stay with Liang, we'll go get what we need", Lois adviced.
"It's dark out here", Lois said on getting to the surface, "and cold", I added
wrapping my arms around myself shivering, "let's go", I said trying to push myself to go on. We snuck through the woods with the aid of the moon's light and finally arrived at the death dump undetected, "alright, let's do this", I said and did as Liang had instructed, took off my shirt, and waited a while for the solution to settle, "Rich", Lois called, "yes", I said as I turned to her, "be careful", she said smiling at me, "no problem lo", I replied, as she came closer for a hug.
She hugged and before I could open my eyes to see her face, she ran and jumped into the death dump, "Lois!!", I screamed as I watched her fall into the green trail which had formed from Liang's solution just as he described.
Is this girl out of her mind?
