Myriem was all excited to tell Gunny the good news, once they were in a safe and secluded enclave, safe from prying eyes and listening ears.
“Preston spoke to me in code!”
“What did he say?”
“He sang some lyrics from one of our old code songs!”
“What was the code message?” asked Gunny as he hung on every breathless word that Myriem could manage to convey through her excitement.
“I saw her today at the reception!” exclaimed Myriem.
“That means he saw the agent at the Tent Revival,” deciphered Gunny.
“In her glass was a bleeding man!”
“That means he saw she had a bomb in her hand.”
“She was practiced in the art of deception!
“Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands!”
“He Knows Who She Is!” exclaimed Gunny.

The same white lab coats were all huddled around the seemingly immobilized Preston Smith in an effort to engage him in any kind of conversation that would enlighten them as to the true condition of the incarcerated agent, but Preston merely displayed a tight-lipped smile.
These white lab coats had finally determined that pumping their subject full of various drugs was nothing but a dead-end street, because Preston merely retreated into some unknown realm, enjoying the psychedelic ride without revealing what was going on inside his multi-faceted brain!
They only made headway these past few days when Myriem Foster was allowed to be present in the full view of their subject, which encouraged Preston to engage in some kind of conversation that the white lab coats were frantically trying to decipher … to make some sort of clinical sense to their scientific minds, but they were failing miserably in every attempt they made these past few days!
Finally, the white lab coats stepped back in frustration, encouraging Myriem Foster to make contact with Preston in her own seemingly peculiar way. Her first attempt this day was met with success!
“Thespian … this is Juliette … Hamlet is standing by!”
“Lord, what fools these mortals be!” exclaimed Preston as he quoted a familiar line from the classic theatre. [‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ Act 1, Scene 1]
“Splendid. Just Splendid Ms Foster,” was the response from an over-eager white lab coat who drew too close to Preston, causing the seemingly immobilized subject to glare at the white lab coat with disdain!
“If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?” [‘The Merchant of Venice’ Act 3, Scene 1]
This unexpected response caused the white lab coat to retreat from the perceived threat that was strapped to the table.
Myriem drew closer to Preston with a knowing look in her eyes … her hand instinctively reaching out to warmly touch his hand.
“The course of true love never did run smooth.” [‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ Act 1, Scene 1]
Myriem started to say something, but held her peace.
“I am one who loved not wisely but too well.” [‘Othello’ Act 5, Scene 2]
Myriem leaned forward and began whispering a response to Preston that only he could hear.
“The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” [‘Hamlet’ Act 3, Scene 2]
Another one of the white lab coats grew impatient with the proceedings, stepping forward with a scowl as he began berating the seemingly meaningless conversation between the two lovers.
Focusing his attention back to the white lab coats and this intruder in particular, the Thespian code name retorted:
“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.” [‘As You Like It’ Act 2, Scene 7]
All the white lab coats began murmuring among themselves, as the Thespian code-name personae called out to them in derision: “Now is the winter of our discontent.” [‘Richard III’ Act 1, Scene 1]
The white lab coats stopped their conversing and glared at Preston and Myriem holding hands.
Preston merely stared back at them, saying, “Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.” [‘Julius Caesar’ Acts 2, Scene 2]
Myriem leaned in closer to Preston, before any of the white lab coats could protest her sudden and unexpected movement towards their seemingly subdued subject.
“Preston our ‘Rock Manager’ says ‘The Rag Tag Band’ is back together again and he has secured a new ‘Recording Studio’ to start making some music together!”
Although Preston realized the implication of her words, he merely responded, “If music be the food of love play on.” [‘Twelfth Night’ Act 1, Scene 1]
One of the white lab coats stepped forward, but not too close to the two lovers, before admonishing rather sternly to Myriem to “Kindly Step Away From Our Subject Please!”
Myriem looked to Preston for any indication that he understood what she had spoken to him in code.
His only response being, “Get thee to a nunnery.” [‘Hamlet’ Act 3, Scene 1]
Refusing to acknowledge either the response of Preston or the orders from the whiter lab coats, Myriem Foster rushed back to the seemingly secure subject on the lab table, blurting out to her lover:
“Rocker … this is Groupie … Roadie is standing by”
Preston could see one of the white lab coats getting more fidgety by the second, while another one opened the door and motioned for security personnel to enter the lab to take charge of the situation!
“Beware the Ides of March.” [‘Julius Caesar’ Act 1, Scene 2]
Myriem took her cue from the spoken code, but managed to whisper to her lover, “Roadie has all the equipment ready for our next gig!”
The white lab coats had seen enough, motioning for security to remove Myriem from the lab!
“Cry ‘havoc!’ and let slip the dogs of war!” [‘Julius Caesar’ Act 3, Scene 1]
Preston began struggling with his bonds as the security guards tried to force Myriem from the lab against her consent, while the white lab coats tried to respond to their struggling subject with various outcries of what to do!
In the midst of the confusion, Myriem began singing her distress code, in hopes of reaching Rocker to activate his powers!

One of the white lab coats rushed forward to restrain the struggling subject, mouthing words to the effect of: “Now Preston … or Thespian … or Who Ever You Are …”
But his words were drowned out by a shout from the seemingly restrained subject:
“MY NAME IS CALLED DISTURBANCE!” … almost simultaneously in unison with the sounds of an explosion in the middle of a wall at the far end of the lab!
