All the news that's fit to print

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Police investigators believe they have discovered the whereabouts of missing detective, Barry Grant. Grant was reported missing three days about by a friend of his, Rebecca Franks. "I was supposed to meet him at Big Lucy's that night but he never showed."

Grant, Global Sleuth Syndicate Ambassador from Shanghai, had been working at the Blue Pagoda Agency on a Good Will mission at the time of his disappearance. "He was becoming a much relied upon detective." Lady jasNmushu, a Director at Blue Pagoda Agency, said of the missing detective.

Police have reason to believe that Grant was abducted by operatives from HYDRA while on his way to Big Lucy's. "I was meeting him at the corner of Eleventh Avenue and 42nd Street that night." recounted a teary-eyed divorcee Mrs. Franks. "He never showed."

Chief Inspector James Mulligan was able to determine the last place Grant was seen. "Cyrus Tibby recalls serving Mr. Grant a Tom Collins around 7 pm that night. After that, Mr. Grant left the premises and that was the last anyone had seen of him."

This reporter secured an interview with the elusive Larry the Toe. "I don't know anything about that." was his response to all my questions.

There was a break in the investigation when a shady character finally stepped forward to reveal he saw a tall man with a hat being forced into a car. This shady character, who prefers to remain anonymous, was unable to make out the license plate number but he recognized the car and the man doing the abducting. "I've seen that happen before. Same guy. Same car."

Policed will not disclose any more details for fear it could put Mr. Grant's life in jeopardy. Chief Inspector Mulligan's final word: "We don't want to lose any more detectives to that fiendish group."

Andrea finally gave in and sat next to Barry's bed. He reached for her hand, finding it cool to the touch.

"Please dont be mad, Andrea. You know.." He was cut of by a soft knock on the door.

Andrea turns..stands. Walks calmly over to the door and peers out. A nervous nurse is standing there. "OH.. umm.. I am sorry to disturb you Miss. But this was just sent over for Mr. Grant. The delivery boy said it was to go directly to Mr. Grant." Holding the package out, Andrea gingerly takes it. Closes the door.

"Well arent you mister popular, Barry. To bad your friends didnt see the need to take action earlier." she huffs. Placing the package on the side of his bed for him to open.

Barry being the sensible man decides to open the package instead of commenting on Andrea's statement. When the box opens, Andrea gasps. Inside was the most exquiste necklace she had ever seen. The artistry of it was magnificant.. there were jewels all over it.. but in the middle was the most perfect Diamond. She couldnt help but touch it. "who could have sent this." Andrea exclaimed.

Picking up the short note inside..Barry read..

Mr. Grant,
Seems like you will be layed up for a while. The informantion you have given is quite useful.. With reguards.
W.W.

Barry's brow knitted. He had no idea who W.W. was. He couldn't even remember what information he was being thanked for. Maybe it was the "kernwaffe" thing. He didn't care. It finally seemed like there might be a moment alone with Andrea.

Barry closed the box and placed it on the nightstand and said, "I have no idea who sent it. Maybe the information they're thanking me for is that word I heard, 'kernwaffe'? I wonder what it means."

Barry and Andrea sat there in silence for a moment pondering his question. Realizing that they were alone again, Barry reached for her hand and said, "Now, where were we? Oh yes, I was asking how YOU are."

"Wait just one minute Barry" - she said

Andrea walked to the door and spoke quietly to the guards.

"I will need a few moments alone with Mr. Grant, please" - she asked - "No one, and I mean NO ONE, comes in here until I tell you. Is that understood?"

The guards noded. Andrea walked back into the room, locked the door, and placed a chair under the doorknob for good measure.

Sitting on the bed, she took his hand and stared right into eyes.

"Now that I know you will be fine, I am fine too." - she told him - "I have no idea what is going on back at Hitchhikers, darling, because I have been here watching over YOU, remember?"

Barry smiled and said: "Of course. And am I ever so glad..."

"They tell me you asked for me Barry" - she said - "Was there anything you needed to tell me?"

Barry didn't remember asking for her but he could believe it. He was thinking of Andrea before he was captured and during his capture. He thought he would never see her again. He looked into her eyes. They get more beautiful each time he sees them.

He looked at her hair. It looked soft. He reached up to touch it and brought his hand around to her face and used his thumb to stroke her cheek. He looked at her mouth and then back into her eyes.

"I think I wanted to tell you how much you mean to me." And with that, he pulled her close to him and kissed her very gently. Feeling no stitches were being pulled, he sat more upright and started kissing her more passionately. He ran his fingers through her hair and hugged her to him with his other arm and then began to.....

All the tension of the last few days began to fade away. She could not believe how close Barry had come to being gone forever. This had happened before to her and she vowed it would never happened again.

Leaning against him, she kissed him back, careful with his wounds but not detered by them.

Outside, the sun began to the fade. It was dark when she went outside and told the guards to escort her back to her quarter.

After Andrea left, Barry fell asleep with the biggest and goofiest grin ever.

He watched the city streets go by. Yang as normal circled the block to be sure no one was following.

Barry needed to be moved out of there, it would be better to have him where lots of eyes could see him.

As the car came around the corner he saw that woman by the light post. She was hiding from who he did not know. Then he saw her dart towards the hospital building.

"Yang!"

"On it"

Screeeeeeechhhh


Ran threw open the car door and SNATCHED Amanda around the waist. Tosses her into the back seat with him and slams the door shut.

"Some place safe Yang", he called over to the driver.

The next thing Amanda knew she was being picked up and thrown into a car.
"Hey!! What do you think your doing!? Help!!" She tried to yell, but the door to the car slammed shut before she could stop it. She looked up and saw Ran. "What do you think your doing?!" She yelled at him.

Barry woke up feeling better than ever. He was feeling so good, he wanted to get out of bed.

Feeling he had nothing to lose by trying, Barry started to get up slowly. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and put his feet on the ground. While holding the side of the bed, he tried to stand up.

He managed to stand up and now he was ready to let go of the side of the bed. He did. A smile crept onto his face. He took a few steps towards the chair and then back to the bed. He felt pretty good.

Now it was just a matter of getting the release from the doctor. He laid back down and closed his eyes. He started to think about all the things he had to do when he was finally released.
