While Mickey is narrating his earlier event, Casey sent a message to Cosmo "Doc" Static to come as soon as possible and see if he can rack the password of the files on the USB. They listen closely to the mouse, taking notes the whole entire time. Once Mickey is done with his story, Seamus O'Hara plugs the USB on the screen and opens Mickey's file.

"Mmmmmm no corporation name, this is really odd. Usually...no it's the law, something like this always has a watermark or something giving the corporation's name, if not, they can have a very pricey fine to pay." Seamus says while looking for some files in a drawer from his desk.

"The only clue we have are those initials right here. They ring a bell to me but I just cannot put the finger on it." Mickey rubs his chin, thinking hard of who it could potentially be. "I know I have seen those before but when and where?"

"Well we had a case of a corporation doing shading things. They were registered and clean on the front but we found out that they made a smaller company behind that was involved in black markets. A worker there found out and managed to get enough evidence for us to take it seriously. Maybe this can be another case, although on another level. You got experimented and we know right here what worked and what failed. I tried opening the other files but they are locked so I call Doc Static to come, he should be here any minutes now." Casey let himself fall in his chair with a huff "I have the feeling that this is going to be a tedious case."

"Might be, but if we want to be efficient, we will have to reveal to the city that you are alive and what's going on, Mickey. If the company didn't want us to find you, then they might make a move to take you back, or at least to bait you." Seamus thinks out loud.

They both turns to Seamus with wide eyes. "You want to use me as a bait? And reveal that I'm still alive?" Mickey whispers in disbelief.

"This is madness, we can't just do this out of the blue you know and god knows what will come in Mickey's way. Seamus, we have to do this carefully." Casey stands up abruptly, walking around the office. Clearly, he hates the idea.

"Of course, I want to use this opportunity to inspect the lab with at least a squad. We will all keep low profile until we get lots more information. Mickey, I think it would be good to see Minnie or your brother; at least for support." Seamus changes the conversation.

"I...I would love to but wouldn't that endanger their lives as well? I mean later on in the investigations?"

"This is why you should keep a low profile. You should stay at someone's house in the meantime. Trust me, the last thing you need is to be put in quarantine without any body to support you. And nobody will do this better than your own family and friends." Casey reassures the mouse.

"You got a point. Alright, let's do it then." Mickey agrees, feeling a bit better.

"I'll set a meeting right now to let the officers know what is happening. This can be really big and I think we should share this news to the FBI and CSI, we might be eating way more then we can chew alone; of course, stating that this is confidential. No news should be made public." Seamus stands up. "Casey, I'll let you talk with Doc Static since you know what's going on and bring him up to speed. Mickey come with me, this will be a quick roll call and then you will show us where the lab is.".

"Right." They both walks to the elevator which opens and Doctor Static emerges from it.

"Hey Doc, how are you?" Mickey casually ask the dumbfounded Cosmo.

"Mickey? But ho..." Cosmo starts but is interrupted by Seamus.

"You will be brought up to speed by Casey and the files that awaits your expertise Doc. We have to act quickly; this case might take epic proportions...and by that, I mean a gigantic mess." Seamus and Mickey enter the lift and heads down to the ground floor. As the door opens, the chief grabs his radio control and yells "Roll Call, everybody in the meeting room now!!!!"

The meeting takes a bit of time as every body is having a hard time believing that Mickey is right in front of them. Seamus quickly recaps the story and everyone quickly understands that this case might take huge proportions that can be out of control. Right after that, the chief and two squads changes back into their civil clothing and hopes in their civil car to avoid getting any attention they might get outside the station. They park in a reclusive area, thankfully not far from the hidden entrance of the lab; indeed, after a two-minute walk, they find themselves in the main room with the four receptions.

"This place is huge." Mickey visibly shivers. "There's four floors below the ground surface. The elevators are right there. Apparently, there's also staircases but I haven't explored the place at all."

"We will take a good look around, let's spread oud and remember, do not move anything. I'll call the FBI and CSI, they need to see this." Seamus looks around in awe while reaching in his pocket for his phone and makes his way outside as he dials a number. Mickey feels for the first time runs his tongue over his teethes and muffle a cry of pain as he slightly cuts it, his mouth now having the taste of blood. 'my teethes...they are sharp, too sharp...' he swallows his saliva mixed with blood. 'I seriously need to take time to read that file on me. To what extend did they changed me? What are my limits?' he wonders quietly while walking around the complex and the deeper he goes, the darker it quickly gets and soon enough, the corridors are pitch black. He doesn't have the heart to explore the underground floors and to be honest, he wants to rest; that realization makes him shake his head; not even a full has gone by and he is already tired. Things are moving out fast, too fast for him and he prays deep down that it will soon slow down. His hears perks up as he can hear the chief calling his name from afar and truth be told, he is looking forward to get out of this place. Since he is in the dark and can perfectly see, he notices his eyes glowing with a solid golden color in the reflection of a wall as he approaches a corner; scaring him in the process for a moment. 'Sheesh, I almost pissed myself.' He breaths out and smiles the feeling off.

He finally arrives at the main room and heads outside, relief flows over his face as the sun hits his face. He sees the chief beckoning to follow him and together walks back to the car. "Ah Mickey, I just called Minnie saying that I will drop by in a bit. I also forgot, but when we changed to come here, I also got some clothes for you to keep you incognito for a while. They will probably fit you no problem."

"Thank you, I appreciate it. Does she know I'm coming?" Mickey gulps slightly.

"She doesn't know, but I did say that I am bringing someone with me. But you will not come straight with me. I'll talk to her first and when the mood is set, I'll send you a text to come in."

"About that, I do not have a phone..."

"Ah right." Seamus shakes his head. "I'll buy you a phone and a number before we go see her. We need to keep each other updated." The duo arrives at the car and Seamus opens the trunk and gets out of it a long sleeve black shirt with a long hoodie and black pants. "Here, try them on right now. I'll turn around."

Mickey quickly changes his clothes and he is quite surprised at how light they feel. 'Amazing.' He moves around a bit, doing a few stretches 'they are really comfy. They fit nicely too.'

"Alright I'm good now." He says finally.

"Indeed, you are. They look nice on you, the hoody is big enough to shield your face, nobody should recognize you with it...however, your tail is something we will have to deal with." He smiles as they both enter the car and tighten their seatbelts.

"I can control my tail easily...much easier then before. That won't be a problem to hide it." Mickey smiles back, showing his sharp teethes.

Thy drives back in town and stops a moment to a mobile shop. Once the acquisition of a phone, a number and payment plan were done, they both set for Minnie's house.

"Alright pal, how do you feel about this?"

"Really nervous, I don't know what to say to her, I don't know how she will react to this at all. What really gives that she won't take this in a wrong way?" Mickey gulps while twitching slightly in his seat. "I..."

"...worry for very good reasons but I think once I talk to her she will be ready."

"Now the question is how the others will react, hum knowing Minnie, she probably called the others straight after you called." Mickey closes his eyes, resting in his seat.

"well...she did mention that she had some friends over."

"WHAT!? YOU ARE TELLING ME THIS NOW?????" Mickey yells in surprise, his voice starting high pitched to a low growl. 'Where the hell did that came from?' he thinks to himself, as far as he remembers, he never growled before, at least not that low.

"I'm sorry, forgot that little detail..." he scratches his head with his right hand.

"Oh, my goodness, this is going to go to a hundred really quickly." Mickey holds his head with both hands, fighting the urge to panic.

"Nah, it won't. I'll make sure it doesn't." Seamus says as he parks the car right in front of Minnie's house. "Alright, I'll text when it's clear to come in." with that, he gets out of his car and walks to the house's door and rings the bell. A few seconds later, he is greeted with Minnie, Ortensia and Sylvia and the door slowly closes behind him. Mickey patiently waits in the car, his hoody up and his head leaning forward. He tries the easiest way to explain how he is still alive and to his horror, there is no easy way to explain it. As much as he is trying to think about the appropriate thing to say, nothing comes. 'come on, get a grip Mickey, you can do this. You've been through awkward situations before...but this time, it's next level. I highly doubt that it can get even more awkward.' Five minutes goes by, ten minutes, fifteen and finally, twenty minutes later, he receives a text from Seamus giving him green light to come in. At that point, the mouse's body is shacking as he opens the door of the car and slowly walks to the house. He rings the bell and opens the door and by the time he closes the door behind, he is sweating bullets. 'come on...come on, get it together for fuck's sake.' His brieving is shallower and quicker.

"Come over here pal. They want to meet you." Seamus's voice originates from the living room. As Mickey takes a sneaky peek, his heart skips several beats as he notices that it wasn't only the girls that were there. Oswald, Goofy, Daisy, Donald, Felicity (his big sister from the Mickey comics) were here as well. Finally, after regaining a bit of composure, he walks in the room and stops right in the middle of the room.

"Hello everyone." His voice quivering slightly as he takes off his hoody, revealing a scared Mickey Mouse all over his face. The room's atmosphere suddenly drops and Mickey wishes at that moment he could just disappear or hide anywhere. That is until the atmosphere suddenly rises back up, with Minnie trembling uncontrollably while making small steps to him. "Mickey? Is that really you?". Mickey doesn't answer, he just can't as he watches Minnie getting closer and closer. He wants to move but his body is not answering at all, he feels completely paralyzed. He then feels the contact of her hands on his cheeks. "Mickey? Oh, my goodness." She hugs him tightly like she is scared that he will be stripped away from her again.

Felicity walks up to her little brother from behind and hugs him as well and a few seconds later, it becomes a massive group hug with a mix of weeping of joy and pure laughter.

"You must have one hell of a story to tell us...we all thought you were dead...I mean you did die..." Oswald is having a hard time containing his joy as he bounces like a crazy.

"It's a long story...aannndddd it's only the beginning, I'm afraid..." Mickey sighs.

"Tell us." Felicity nearly begs. "Tell us everything."

"Might as well do it...".

"It would be wise. We never know what the future holds, things might get ugly...really ugly." Seamus says while checking his phone. "I got a message from Static. Apparently, they found a huge amount of information in the USB you provided; but that can wait until tomorrow."

Mickey nods in agreement.

"Well let me prep up your room Mickey, you are sleeping here." Minnie rushes upstairs.

"I'll help you with it." Daisy runs behind her. Oswald and Felicity hugs their little brother again.

"It's good to have you back." Oswald whispers.

'Yeah' Mickey thinks with a grin on his face. 'It's good to be back.'.
