Jake's parents and the government under the stairs

History tells us a lot about the rise and fall of nations, but so can B movies.

If nothing else, the government under the stairs typifies random B movie fare.

Rebbecca and Frank Fastet work for the government, but not your typical federal/state/municipal/other agency. They report directly to Washington D.C., several miles below the surface. Underneath D.C., if the onerous presence of overzealous laws, regulations, tax codes, and bullying civil servants, and yes i mean cops, wasn't enough, then you should see what they have downstairs.

How many times have you've seen a movie, or read a book, where some monstrous creation, such as zombies, comes slouching out of some government lab, and heralds the end of the world. Too many times to count, it's a good bet that if the end of the world is nigh, or zombies are walking out of what is suppose to be an abandoned building, then it is safe to say that we've reached the point in our lives where government has too much power.

Their mission statement seems harmless enough, to protect the world from supernatural threats, but, by now, we should know where this leads. If you were wondering why taxes in the U.S. are just as expensive as the taxes politicians bitch about in Europe, then look no further. Two governments equals one European socialist government.

Rebbecca and Frank's job was simple, monitor and report about the life and abilities of their prime subject, Jake Fastet. Unfortunately for them, Jake Fastet will prove to be more trouble than any child is worth. Assuming the role of Jake Fastet's parents, they keep him under observation, waiting for tell tale signs that he may become active, and with mauraderous gang bangers breaking down their door, that may happen sooner than they think.
