Joey hesitated just slightly when Storm's name came up. "That might be a problem. The others, yeah. Storm may deem this too low level for our pay grade."
"Well then, we're just gonna have to alert just the others, Amy included," Jaguar spoke to Joey.
"But it could turn out to be our problem, Joey," Flynn said. "I saw Teeanna in town, running for work. She was worried about being late." He looked over and saw Ken sitting at a table on the other side of the room. "Ken's over there."

Having heard his name Ken finished his coffee and joined the others at the table they were at "I heard my name is something going down?" Ken asked then he added "I'm pretty certain Teeanna will be done with her shift at the Goodwill soon"

"I'm not disagreeing with either of you." Joey said to Flynn and Jaguar. "I'm just telling you what I know from a guy that I've served under since I was 18 years old and this isn't gonna go over well once he finds out."
Having heard his name Ken finished his coffee and joined the others at the table they were at "I heard my name is something going down?" Ken asked then he added "I'm pretty certain Teeanna will be done with her shift at the Goodwill soon"
"Plenty." Joey responded with a simple answer. "Long story short, Jag's buddy has gotten himself into some deep shit and if the local cops get to him before we do, there's a good shot that he ends up on the evening news and not as a fluff piece."

"That's one way to put it," Flynn said, leaning back and folding his arms.

"Yeah, and we gotta find him and stop him fast. And I don't wanna think about what Prometheus will do if he finds him." Jaguar exclaimed to the three Rangers.

"We won't let anything happen to your friend" Ken said trying to reassure Jaguar "after what happened a few weeks ago I know firsthand that villains will strike where they find vulnerabilities especially the heart" Ken said I assume we're doing this on the down low without Commander Storm knowing?" Ken asked

Ken asked
"I really want to inform Commander Storm about this, but he's more focused on dealing with Prometheus than with everyday crimes which I still think it's just as important as well," Jaguar spoke to Ken. "Lenny... he's always been my friend since my dad took him into his homeless shelters and I worry about the thing's he's doing and with this... my nightmare is coming true."
Jaguar spoke to the Blue Ranger the bags of red ice inside to show what he was talking about.

"He's gonna find out whether we tell him or not but if we tell him first, he's probably losing his shit and the time it'll take dealing with him is time taken away from helping your friend." Joey made it clear that this was something that wouldn't be received well. "I just need you to be sure about this because the blow back is gonna be heavy, Bro."

Lenny's eyes widened what Valentine had spoken to him and to add things up, he presented him with highly advanced weapons. He picked up the gun and whistled, "This is some shit you got," Lenny spoke and Omar just rolled his eyes.
"So you got some nice guns, but that don't mean we trust you!" the older man spoke, rubbing his neck.
"Mr. Omar, the fact that you're still breathing and not dwelling in Demon World after you attempted to end my life should do more than earn favor." Valentine spoke while rubbing the briefcase. "Now you can choose to trust me and accept my terms and all of the benefits that come with being aligned with me or you can take your chances with the Rangers but choose quickly. My offer has a shelf life."

"Now you can choose to trust me and accept my terms and all of the benefits that come with being aligned with me or you can take your chances with the Rangers but choose quickly.

Lenny turned to Omar, "Come on, man. I wanna give Jaguar the ass-whoopin' for leaving me to join the goddamn SPD," he said. "Don't have this dude try to have you turned in to those guys, nor the police."
Omar looked at Valentine for a second and then at the gun and he stepped up to the man and held his hand out, "Then, I will join you... and you better pay us double for this shit. Our boss, he ain't the type of man who shows mercy. If he finds out about this, he will kill you," he spoke, glaring hard at him.

Jaguar nodded, "I'm sure. I gotta stop him, friend or not, Joe. Contact Amy and Teeanna, we'll inform them about what's happening," the Yellow Ranger, feeling determined.

"I'm paying you in power and protection, Mr. Omar." Valentine quickly corrected the man. "Any funds you secure from this evening's business venture will be 100% yours to keep." The immortal slowly slid the case over to the two men before leaning back in his chair. "Besides, I think you've already caught onto the face that bullets cannot kill me so if your boss wishes to try his luck, I won't be as merciful with him as I was with you." His eyes began to shift slightly. His eerily cheery expression turned into one that was so cold, it would send shivers down your spine.

Jaguar nodded, "I'm sure. I gotta stop him, friend or not, Joe. Contact Amy and Teeanna, we'll inform them about what's happening," the Yellow Ranger, feeling determined.
Joey sighed heavily, knowing that his night was essentially ruined before it even started. "We need to find out where they're gonna be first. If we go running up and down the city like crazy people, they may slip away. I'll go find Amy. You guys hit Tee up and let her know. I'll go let Amy know." Joey said this as he stood up, knowing that time was now of the essence as the day started to slip away.

Omar took the case, "You better know who you're makin' deals with. But we'll take care of that damn SPD. I ain't gonna spend my life in jail," he said and Lenny felt his throat form a lump but he wasn't going to let Lenny stop him for anything. "We won't let you down, Valentine. We won't," he said and turned to Omar. "Come on, man. We got business to take care of."
As he makes his leave, Omar glares at him and walks way from Valentine, not even letting his fake cheery expression affect him.

"Alright," Jaguar spoke and reached for his Delta Morpher, "Teeanna, if you are done with your job, you better come back to Delta Command, we got a mission to do," he spoke through the line.

Teeanna was just finishing her job at the Goodwill when her Delta Morpher went off and she heard Jaguar's voice come through the speaker "I'm on my way" she said into her own Delta Morpher "What's the emergency?" She asked "Oh you know just stopping jaguar's friend from participating in an illegal drug deal involving some kind of red crystal meth" Ken spoke sarcastically "Sounds like a typical SPD Tuesday" Teeanna responded back with just as much sarcasm

Joey's legs brought him to the lab where he found Amy directing traffic with many of the lab techs working on various projects. "Bae, you got a sec!?"
Amy walked up to Joey, gently caressing his hand. "Yeah. Everything okay?" She asked, guiding the pair into her office.
"Not really." Joey sighed while leaning across her desk. "There's a drug deal set to go down soon. We're pretty sure that it's red ice."
"Oh damn. Did you notify the SCPD?"
"Not yet... actually, we need to keep the SCPD away from this. One of Jag's friends is involved."
"Shit." Amy made a sucking noise with her teeth. "Maybe we can call up one of our contacts in SCPD. I'm sure they'll look out for him."
"Babe... Jag is trying to address this directly to stop this deal and he wants the team to help him."
Amy made a cringing expression with her face, realizing where Joey was going with this. "He does know that local drug activity is not our wheelhouse right? He does know the hell that awaits if we step in on this??? Right?"
"Yeah he does but it's his boy and I have to have his back on this." Joey said, pleading with his lady friend. "And I could really use the help of the best girl I know. Pleeeeeeeeeaaaasssee???"
Amy looked at Joey for a moment who was one step away from Keith Sweat territory. "You're lucky you're cute." Amy smirked. "What do you need from me?"
Joey pumped his fist in celebration. "I need the where and when. Oh and maybe if you can make sure SCPD doesn't get wind of this, at least until after we've gotten a handle on things?"
"Yeah, give me a few minutes. I'll call you when its done."
"You're amazing." Joey gave Amy a quick kiss before making his exit, leaving Amy to chuckle and shake her head before getting to work on her boyfriend's request.

Flynn rolled his eyes at Ken and Teeanna's sarcasm. "Guys, seriously. This could be really bad. Especially if Prometheus or Valentine get ahold of this."

"And that's what I'm afraid of. I have to stop him from doing he's trying to and what Prometheus is trying to plan from him. As much as I love him, he's gotta take accountability for his actions, so if it means I have to have him be put away for a long time, that's what I'm gonna do. We can't brush this aside," Jaguar exclaimed.
