***6 Months Later***

It took some more recovery time before Federal Rogue was finally put into action.

Ricky was sentenced to house arrest for 6 months, which wasn't exactly eventful since he was still in the wheelchair, sometimes getting around with a crutch or cane.

However, the town needed to know more about what really happened to The Roadkill Horror, so as far as they know, Scranton's favorite vigilante was killed during a police chase, gunned down after trying to fight back.

This has sadly lead to protests and anger, considering some people though Roadkill was doing justice to the town by killing the real criminals.

Bethany officially moved to the east coast and signed up for FBI training in Quantico to become an agent, deciding she was better off doing regular cases after seeing Ricky was in good hands. Chris made sure she was trusted with an old friend who is an instructor there.

The Federal Rogue members made their way to the conference room of FBI Headquarters, Angelo pushing Ricky's wheelchair as everyone trailed behind Chris.

"Do we serious need an obnoxious little conspiracy cunt providing us information during our cases?" TJ said as him and Craig stood nearby the door.

"Don't worry," Ricky said with a smirk. "Once I get a hold of those Area 51 files and proof of Martin Luther King Jr. not being killed by that bullet, I'll keep being the adorable pain the the ass you all know and love through an earpiece."

TJ tried to tackle him but was held back as they continued, entering to see everyone there.

"Someone owes me big for bein' here," Ash snapped as she leaned back on a seat. "I was in the middle of a spa day!"

"Correction, you were in the middle of raiding a spa and threatening the employees for a free day of anything with a stolen police rifle," Manson said with a snap.

"Alright, so I got a bit carried away," Ash said. "Can't blame a girl for wanting a discount for lookin' and feelin' her best!"

Manson rolled his eyes as everyone ended and saw who was there.

"Jinxx?" Kuza asked. "You're an agent?"

The silent bartender stood alongside Deputy Director Manson, District Attorney Sirak, and Director Francis.

"Nope. I'm also a member of Federal Rogue, too," He shrugged.

"You got a record?" Chris asked.

"Oh does he," Kelly said, handing him a file.

Chris examined it as Angelo and the others peered over to read it.

"Damn," Ghost said in shock.

"You did that just under 2 hours?!" Chris asked.

Jinxx smiled quietly but proudly.

"Okay, he scares me now," Angelo said as Chris handed the file to Kelly.

"I like his style!" Ash giggled as she stood next to him, arm on his shoulders.

"He can be helpful as one of the liasons, as well as on the field," She said.

"Leave it feds to give us options of either prison or badass cop," Franccesca scoffed, Jeremy next to her as he rolled his eyes.

"And of course you will need your team of scientists just in case," a familiar voice said and everyone turned to see Dr. Malarkey and her scientists.

"Sorry we're late," Dr. Balz said. "Had a bit of a case to clear up."

"Sad case of a man who became a victim of organ trafficking, despite his captors being arrested," Dr. Malarkey said. "But the precision and care was so fascinating."

Everyone looked weirdly in her direction.

"Is she always this excited about death?" Ricky asked.

"Yep," Chris, Angelo, TJ and Dr. Balz all said at the same time.

"Agent Cerulli, Agent Parente," Alex said as she and Johnnie stepped up to the two agents.

"Hey," Chris greeted.

"We never really got to properly thank you and everyone else for helping us," Johnnie said.

"Especially you, Agent Parente..." Alex said shyly. "If you weren't at my side during all of that, I... I can't imagine what they could have done to me... I'm sorry you had to sacrifie yourself like that for me."

Angelo gave her a sad smile. "Its nothing... Better me than you. You're still young and have a bright future ahead of you. I'm a dispensable agent."

"That's bullshit, you're worth more than that," Chris snapped.

"Chris is right, you are worth so much more," Devin said.

"You are," Alex said. "I'm sure not a lot of agents could have done with you did... But I'm forever in your debt."

Angelo smiled. "So long as you're safe."

She smiled as they then shared a hug and everyone smiled at them before the meeting stared.

"So, this meeting won't take long, everyone have a seat," Director Francis said.

Everyone sat down as they spoke.

"Now," he said. "You all had time for some R & R, now its time to get serious, but since its early I won't make it time consuming either."

Everyone paid attention.

"This isn't just some simple secret government team. You'll see thing probably worse than what you've already seen with the vampire gang. There will even be moments where you wish what is in front of you was a photograph instead of real life," Manson said.

"So, worse than that psycho vampire gang?" Jeremy asked.

"Much," Francis said. There will even be cases of undercover missions. Many of you may not even be the same after them."

"We want to know now if you are all ready to swear under oath just like any agent, but be ready for more than what is asked," Kelly asked. "We are asking if you are ready to go head on into the unknown."

Everyone looked at each other before suddenly the scientists stood up.

"You can all count on us for any science needed," she said. "We're in."

"So are we," Devin said, motioning to him and the rest of the Sinful workers, who nodded.

"As are the agents," Maria said as we stood up.

"And us," Bethany said, holding Ricky's hand.

"Can't forget us Creeps!" Ash chimed as she sat up on the table.

"And us," we turned to see Demon stood there with Ryan and a few members of the Cobras. "Sorry we're late. Traffic was packed, but you can count on us as well."

"Looks like we're all in," Angelo said.

The two head agents and district attorney smiled.

"Great," Manson nodded.

Everyone heard a soft whine and turned to see Matt was leaning against Kuza and looking fidgety.

"Shhh," Kuza cooed as he comforted his little.

"Is the little guy alright?" Ashley asked as he raised an eyebrow, everyone looking over at Kuza as he pulled Matt up to his lap.

Of course, everyone in Federal Rogue and working with it was made aware of Kuza and Matt's unique relationship. Nobody judged, though sadly Matt is still self conscious of it and gets too anxious when he's around anyone that isn't Mike, Chris, Devin, Angelo, Ricky or Bethany. Nobody can blame him, considering his past.

"Since this was a morning call we got up early and haven't had breakfast yet, so Matt's a bit cranky about it," Devin said.

"Understandable," Manson said. "There should still be breakfast being served at the cafeteria if anyone is hungry. Since you all understand pretty much everything, this meeting can be cut short. Tomorrow you all begin training, as well as meet your trainers."

"Daddy, come on," Matt whined tugging on Kuza's hand.

"Awwww, he's adorable," Ash gushed as she squished her cheeks together with her hands, the other girls giggling at the adorable caregiver/little scene.

Kuza blushed and laughed as he got up. "Alright alright, come on, baby," he said as they headed out, Matt practically dragging Kuza out of the conference room even though he probably didn't know which was was the cafeteria was.

"I'm starving too. Ohh! I hope they have pancakes," Ash shouted before taking off.

Misery sighed and rolled his eyes as he left to catch up, everyone heading out to eat.

"Wait, Matt," TJ spoke up as he caught up to the others, and Kuza and Matt stopped and turned, leading to Chris, Ricky, Angelo and Devin to stop and look as well.

Matt nervously clung to his caregiver as TJ walked up.

"Look, umm.... I never got the chance to properly apologize for scaring you during the interrogation like that back then," TJ said remorsefully. "I was stressed and angry and shouldn't have taken my anger out on you. I was just worried Chris would have lost his mind looking for Roadkill."

Matt looked over at him as he bit at the sleeve of his hoodie.

"Point is, I.... I'm so sorry," he said. "I regret hurting you like that and I understand if you don't want to forgive me."

Matt pursed his lips before looking up at Kuza, who sighed and nodded before Matt detached from his side and walked over to stand in front of TJ.

"Its okay," he said. "I know everyone was under pressure. I'm not mad at you or what happened."

TJ looked up at the smaller as he looked up at him with big brown eyes that were rimmed with black make up.

"Plus, I was scared Ghostie hurt you too much, since he carries a strong taser gun," Matt said, nudging the floor with the tip of his boot.

"Nah, I was alright. I've handled worse," TJ said. "But I really am sorry for hurting you. I want to make it up to you, anything you want, just name it."

Matt's shy aura suddenly shifted in front of TJ to a mischievous one as the little one slightly perked up and smirked a little.

"Anything?" he asked, a sly glint in his eyes.

"Oh boy," Andy said.

"You're gonna end up regretting those words, Bell," Kuza snickered as Devin also had a look of amusement in his face.

He looked over at them before he was back at Matt, but knew it would be wrong to go back on his word to the tiny dancer, so he sighed in defeat.

"Yes," he said. "Anything."

Matt giggled into his hoodie sleeves as TJ started to regret his words already, since he obviously underestimated Matt, but then was taken by surprise when Matt rushed over and hugged TJ's waist.

"You're actually really nice, Mister TJ," He said. "You just really need a break from work."

"Awww," the girls gushed as TJ blushed embarrassingly.

"Alright kid, run along to your... parents," he said as he nudged Matt to Kuza.

Matt giggled before running back to Kuza.

"Don't be mad at him anymore, okay Daddy? Ghostie?" he said.

Kuza and Devin looked at each other before they took a deep breath.

"Okay, hun," Devin said as Kuza also agreed. "But one slip up from him and he'll wish I was using my taser on him."

TJ gulped. "Yes, ma'am, I understand."

Matt giggled and tugged on his hand. "Come on, you can eat with us," He said to TJ.

TJ sighed. "Alright, alright, let's go," He said as he ended up letting Matt drag him as they walked with Kuza, Devin and Matt, Craig following as well.

"Think we can handle this?" Ricky asked Chris.

Chris took a deep breath and nodded.

"Everyone here as faced demons before... I'm sure we can do it again," he said.

Ricky and Bethany looked at each other as the three the decided to join the others for food, one thing on everyone's mind.

What will be ahead of them after tomorrow?

~~~~~

Some of you think that the book is over, but it is NOT over.

I'm pushing to end it at MAYBE 50 chapters, more or less.

So do not worry, there's still more. I may get writer's block, but it's not over just yet. 🏵
