Christina sat on the X Jet for the sixth time in less than two weeks, and she hoped it would be the last time for a while.
The Jet flew in stealth mode over Prague. The coordinates on the computer said the last piece of Everett's body, his left leg, was somewhere in a little, relatively unknown chapel just north of the Old Town Square.
Christina was agitated. Both Jake and Drake were on this mission, and Sasha wasn't back yet. And after what happened in Siberia... she was reluctant to go through that again.
She paced up and down the aisle of the Jet, albeit with a slight limp. Her knee still hurt a little. She had confronted Horace about it and he had said there might still be bullet shrapnel in there if the bullet had been a hollowpoint.

Drake watched Christina pace up and down the isles. She had a limp, yet it didn't slow her down. He admired her for that. He shot a look to Jake, and back to Christina. He was completely ignorant.

Christina saw Drake look between Jake and herself. Her expression became stoney, but in a moment her agitated, slightly worried look was back up again.
The Jet touched down in a deserted alleyway beside the chapel in question.

looking very frustrated and tired of sitting in the same seat for about the 6th time in two weeks Jake observed Christina walking up and down the aisle trying not to make it obvious. This missionwas going to be just like every other apart from this time it was a little different, Drake was there on the mission with them.
The jet landed, Jake stood up and walked out, he was in a large dark desserted alley way somewhere, he wasnt sure where he was.

Christina marched along the alleyway towards the front of the chapel. The door was surprisingly unlocked, and Christina disappeared through the door. The chapel was even smaller from the inside, containing no more than 5 pews on each side of the central aisle. It was made of grey stone bricks with thick,stained wooden frames, making it appear to be medieval. On both ends of the chapel was a large circular stained glass window depicting a saint or angel.
"The piece is in here somewhere," Christina said, hoping the others had followed her. "But I don't know where."

Drake had followed behind Jake. He stopped at the door for a couple of seconds. Leaning against the door he grabbed his head. He continued after a couple of seconds, before taking one of the pews, he put his hands on his head and tears welled up, but they dripped into his hands.

Christina looked around the chapel, looking for anything that might give a hint. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Drake. Sweeping over, she knelt in front of him and frowned, concerned.
"Are you alright?"

"No, I'm not." Drake said, shakily. He lifted his head up, to look at Christina however, he could only see black. "I believe I'm blind."

"You cant be blind" Jake said confused as he turned around to look a Drake "How can you become blind in a matter of a few hours, you could see as good as ever before we left". Jake walked over to Drake as he looked really serious, can he really be blind Jake thought to himself. "Christina we need to get the piece now, What are we going to do about Drake, he's not much help to us, he cant see" Jake said.
Jake left Drake and continued to search around the chapel for any sign of clue for where the piece of Everette's body may of been hiding at.

Christina kissed Drake gently. Suddenly she felt detatched from herself. She seemed to watch herself get up, walk away from Drake silently, and look around for clues. She stepped up onto the stage, behind the altar on which stood a cross and a Bible. She looked down at the two objects and picked one up. She didn't see which one, but it was heavy.
She hurled it away from her in an angry, upset outburst. She heard something smash and felt something, plaster maybe? Glass? fall on her.
She looked up at the stained glass window above her. Somehow she had thrown the cross high enough and hard enough to break through the glass. But there was still a picture.
She stepped back into the aisle, looking up at the window, and saw that the window actuall had two panes of stained glass, with a gap in between. And in the gap was a box.
Her heart was beating frantically, both from the outburst and at the prospect of going home soon, once they found out how to get the box down.

"There's the box, up there" Jake said to Christina. "Drake is the only person who can get to that box safely" Jake said. Jake made his way back towards the enterance of the chapel, he seen Drake waiting there, "Drake we need your help, your the only one who can get the box". Jake walked over to Drake and said "Ill take you to the box, the rest is up to you, I can only guide you".

Drake listened intently at Jakes voice. He was trying to find where Jake was. Suddenly, a fist flew up into Jakes jaw. Getting up Drake told Jake, "Useless am I?"

"Is that all you got, that was pathetic for you, and your only useless now that your blind, its just lucky that the box is out of Christina and my way otherwise i wouldnt be coming to you for help" Jake said getting up off the ground. "Come with me now and help yourself now and stop making life difficult for me otherwise ill start making your life difficult and I really dont want to do that to you". Jake started to walk back towards the before stopping after a few steps and saying "are you coming or what".

Christina fought back a laugh as Drake punched Jake. Her smile faded when Jake admitted her boyfriend was useless.
She took a deep breath to quell the urge to hit Jake too and lay down on one of the front pews. She stretched out on the cold, hard, wooden seat and stared at the ribbed ceiling of the chapel.
She sighed. She didn't have the strength to keep going anymore. It was just too hard. There was too much pain. So she stayed quiet and decided to let the boys handle it.

Drake stood up and took off his Jacket. He shot two cords up and they kept going till he reached the Roof. "ALRIGHT CHRISTINA, GUIDE ME." He yelled.
