Ch. 54 Missing: One Mutant Speed Demon

[Mierin]

Alice smirks at Kristian as she teases. "You always know just what to buy." Heading down to the cells with Kristian, she tells him "MacCoulter is on his way as we speak. Dmitri was just heading to the airport to pick him up."

[dakota]

" Good. Maybe by then this dirtbag will wake up." Kristian tossed Vance into the cell and then locked the door. He looked at Alice sympathetically," Any luck with Jason yet? Janie filled me in on the way back."

[sasqaricious]

Deci while looking through the box of goodies follows their lead to the car. Not surprised they did not ask her to drive she does not even attempt to take the front seat and settles for a seat in the back. She will not choose anything until the get to the location they are going at which time she will just pick some dark sunglasses and use the hoody she has.

[Mierin]

Alice shakes her head as she replies quietly. "I'm not sure, to be honest. I told Isamu that he should be in charge of that." Smiling weakly, she adds "I thought I was too close to the situation to be able to look at it objectively."

[foxx]

Sara frowns watching the guy in the car. Just a coincidence that there is some one else here that might be looking for Jason.

"I think we got someone else looking for Jason" Sara tells Sierra. "You might want to try to catch up with him if at all possible and tell him he's drawing a bigger crowd then us."

Rather he listen or not was on him. Problem was did they let this guy go or follow him and see what he was up too. Better yet, why not stop him where he was and keep him from following up whatever nefarious plan he had in mind. Worries about Wraith and his bunch came to mind. She probably wasn't the only merc they hire out to join the team and it will not be the last time.

"Okay... so we have a problem..."

(Wait for Sierra response and then pouncing.)

[shiivster]

*with her voice lowered as she looks at the ground Si comments 'can't catch up. he's long gone and out of range. that one is a new one, can't get a grip on his powers just yet, but i'll alert the others to what happened. hope they don't have a cow ... '

*she dials the house once again ...

'let me know if you want the car stopped ... ' *to Sara

The keys hover in the air infront of Tom for a moment. His next words are light, but an undercurrent of hurt is present. "Unless the car is set up for drivers who can't use their feet, you better drive." as the keys float back to her.

[dakota]

" You're holding up, that's the main thing." Kristian replied. " I'd be a mess if it was Sierra out there."

" Point taken." Ashley nodded, taking the keys. " Sorry, I don't do this leading thing much." She went around and got in the drivers seat. Once everyone was in, she headed north.



Janie answered," Yeah Si, he just tripped an intersection camera. Nothing you could have done."

The unknown in the car still sat there watching. Either he had missed Jason leave, or was up to something else. He flicked out a cigarette butt, and immmediately the flash of a lighter flickered as he lit another.

Tom magnetically levitates into a seat before moving the wheelchair into the back and then buckles up. "It's fine."

[sasqaricious]

Deci takes the position in the back seat and buckles up in preparation for the trip to wherever they are on the way. She takes the side behind Ashley so there is room on his side for the chair. She has a little fear from Ashley's attitude on the methodology of how she will handle the wheel and almost wishes that she was driving herself.

[Mierin]

Alice smirks at Kristian. "I'm doing the best I can." she says quietly. After a minute she adds, "I don't think I should be leader anyway. Isamu is always giving me this disapproving look, even though I try to get him to chime in on things, he won't. It feels like everyone things I'm doing a bad job but just won't say anything." Looking at Kristian, she half jokes, "You want to be leader? Everyone seems to like you."

[foxx]

"You can watch my back for a moment. Let the others know we got competition for Jason." Sara takes a few shorts steps back into the alley, closing her eyes for a moment. Its a strange thing have the ability to change your face. But it so serves her well in situations where its clearly not a good idea to walk into a situation being recognizable. In this case, this car that may be following Jason might be one of Wraith goons. That might mean the goons might looking to see what happen to Sara as she disappeared on her first mission. Surely she wasn't dead an they couldn't find the body.

She prefer if they kept wondering for the time being. When she was done her was shoulder length and such a dark red that it was almost black with red highlights. Her face was on the cute side with her eyes a shade lighter, almost towards pink. She didn't need a mirror to see how she look, it would be a face she imagine in her mind.

Once she was done she adjusted her top till the curves were almost indecently exposed and walks towards the car. She took on the air of the exceptional street walker and approaches the car and the weary driver.

"Hey there baby, you looking for a good time?" Sara says, giving him quite a show as she makes her first impression.

"Continue to track him Janie. Do we happen to know where he plans on meeting Wraith?"

[dakota]

" No thank you." Kristian replied far too quickly. " I just follow directions. If you hate it that much, tell Dylin when he gets here, or make him work with you. I don't think you're doing so bad though."

" I'm not doing anything, Isamu. It's this computer program they implanted in the camera circuit I hacked into. Maybe..., " Janie grinned as the camera went fuzzy and then the picture was much sharper. , yes. We are now the only ones watching. I severed their link. and no way to trace it to us. I love this comp of MacCoulters."

**************

The young man in the car proved Sara's suspicions right as he flashed a badge," You're lucky I'm not part of the Vice squad. Now I'm on the clock here, so you..., hey! Dammit, where did he go?" Clearly the guy was not experienced at surveillance. Hey grabbed for his radio," Command, three. I lost him. He must have slipped out while I was.... distracted" He was clearly checking Sara out now.

She heard Wraith's voice reply," Distracted? Before or after you noticed the target leave? Nevermind, detain you distraction, they might be working together. I'm already on route."

"Copy." The young man started to get out of the car. " You heard the man. Afraid you're going to have to stay here for a few questions."

**************

Ashley drove the three of them to a development neighborhood in the northend of the city. She slowed, looking for landmarks, then finally pulled into a pool hall parking lot. " The car will be safe here. Nobody dares mess with Big Henry and his biker friends, and this way we look like customers."

She got out and helped Tom with his chair. " I'm not sure if you'll be able to get around with this thing down through the alleys. Might be easier if you just do your thing here while no one is watching."

She looked at Deci," There's one camera inside that watches the lot, on the power pole by that mailbox. Let us know when it pans so we're out of the frame. Then we can get going. We're only a couple minutes away."

[doc]

Tom nods. "OK, Stand back. I have to time this just right so I don't snap the chair."

With a grunt, Tom propells himself out of his chair and turns into a man of solid metal. "Feels good to be up and about after all this."
