A crash. The car blew off the ground, a gush of greenish fluid was bursting out of the ground. We were taken by surprise, the car was now somewhere in the middle of the desert, the road nearly covered with the everflowing liquid. Filling every gap, every crack on the road, with goo. Yukio immediately rolled up his window, so did Mantis.
Behind us, we could still see the 90-story tall building that had once belonged to some multinational company, part of Old Angeles, the ghost city. We were trapped among brick walls - that had probably held a monument up a long time ago - and gaps in the desert, the goo flowing out of the hole in the ground. Out of the Manta building behind us came a car, a nice-lookin' 90s car. Deep Blue, no wait, Passion Red, no wait, Royal Purple, and now back to Deep Blue. It was a Lowenthal, the company that monopolized the 'levitating' component. No wheels touching the ground, no cables, no lines, no nothing. It was definitely a FC-3K, the flying car.
It came rushing past toward the driver's side of our old Buick. The chromed window rolled down, inside was the most beautiful, gorgeous, human being I have ever seen. He took his shades off, and his penetrating red eyes stared into mine.
"Hop on," he said, his high-class boy accent was hard not to recognize, he opened the passenger door and he held his hand out for me. I climbed into the black leather interior.
I then noticed her, in the backseat, another high-society chick, her blonde hair with green streaks finally proved a thought I had going on. They might be high-class, but they're definitely our kind. And then Yukio and Mantis rolled themselves onto the backseat next to the girl.
"Hey there, thought you'd need some help," the boy said, "oh, by the way, my name is Matan. She's Noom."
"We are..." I started.
"We know who you are," Matan said, "we're to help."

I looked at the magnificent light design on the dashboard, lights with GPS systems, Hyperspeed modems, Intellijack CPU, Geo monitors all around, plus, the great digital windshield.
"What was that?" Yukio finally said. Getting past the shock of the hit, and of the sudden 'cash flow'.
"Oh, that's just a Plutonium Alloy pipe that burst, it's not dangerous... after the first 10 minutes. You're lucky we got to you before that. We've been following you since New Tokyo."
"You've been..."
"What do you know about the S.A.E. Robin?" Matan looked at me, "I know you know something. Remember Third Dheli? You thought you weren't being traced, but someone did. I did. Now, tell me everything you know, you need our help."
"And we need yours. My father's trapped somewhere within the Nuevo Orden headquarters down in Mexico. And we believe they have found the S.A.E. files... you see, dad was involved with all this thing and they took him away. And... my father, he... well... lord this is hard, he... well, he knew your mother..."
