Ch. 54 Missing: One Mutant Speed Demon

"Alright. Well, how about we hack into whatever computer Jason logs into then? Can we do that?" Tom asks.

[Mierin]

Alice nods at Isamu. "That's a good idea, if she is finished what she is doing." Alice realizes she has no idea what Sierra was doing or who this Vance person was, but figured she should focus on the problem at hand. "If not, we'll probably have to try to get over there quickly."

[dakota]

Janie answered the phone. " Just who we're looking for. Here, alice needs to talk to you" she passed the phone to alice and mouthed sierra's name.

[The phone conversation can be posted on the band adio thread]

Janie looked at Tom," Not from here without knowing which computer and when he was on. He could logon as anyone, most of those places are pay for play with cash in hand."



ryne smirjked." You are all new at this. none of you except Avi and Jason were here six months ago, so the fact any of you work together is a miracle. You have to remember this isn't like in the comic books where you go to school for years learning how to work as a team, we got slammed together and have to make things work."

Once the detectives were done grilling him, Sasha heard a bike approaching from a block away. It stopped near the police line, and Avi pulled off his helmet. A backpack and duffel bag over his shoulders as he approached, and both were full. " I'm soory about this. How bad is it?"

[sasqaricious]

Deci grins right back, "What do you mean it is not like the comics. That would be awesome if it was!" Stating matter of frankly back to him.

"No but in all seriousness, I do not disagree with you, I guess I just think that their are lessons all of us could learn and probably should too. Like some simple etiquette or social skills courses. Ooohhhh can we send Isamu on social skills for dummies." Realizing her mouth flapped without thinking. "Sorry I have courses I need as well on how to stop and think before I speak!"

"OK, well, is there anyway we can hack the wi-fi and find out what he looks up to give us a clue where he'll be going next and then get a step ahead of him?" Tom asks.

[Dome]

With Alice leading things and working with Tom and Janie, Isamu stands back and stays quiet. If another idea comes to him, he will of course offer it.

[jeflint]

She looks at Avi and arches an eyebrow. "Well you know, I was tired of that shade of bar anyway. What's with the bag?" she asked indicting with her chin his full bag.

"If you were hoping to crash at my place it went up with the bar. I doubt I have anything left to salvage in there."

[dakota]

Avi shrugged, " Well, that's not really a problem. There are still a couple Control safe houses around to use then. He smirked, but it was forced. " I'm pretty sure Alice just through me off the team because I was more concerned with helping you than her run amok boytoy Jason. Jas and I have a history and it's not pretty, so with everyone else looking for him, I'm here."

He looked at one of the firefighters, " Can we go in to see if we can find her belongings upstairs?" Avi flashed his NSCA badge, despite it being no good anymore.

" Yeah, but go in the back way and watch the stairwell. Not sure if the supports were damaged structurally or not." he replied.

" She's pretty light on her feet." Avi smirked, then looked at Sasha," Do you want some help, or is this a private thing?"

ryne shook his head slightly," I can see who'll get the morale officer job around here. You're always going to have egos to put up with, it comes with being a freak." despite the derrogatory term, he grinned," besides, he grew up in a monestary or something. Socializing isn't an area of study I'm betting."


Janie looked to Tom," Yeah, we could run a subroutine that would hack into the temporay files so we can track where they are looking. Hold on." Janie showed her computer prowess as she began to hammer at the keys. After a moment, a gren dialog box came up and started listing websites. There were seven connected computers in use, showing they were linked two on facebook, twitter, google and then disney, city hall, War Hammer and the last both daily papers.

Janie shrugged, " Take a little longer, but I can try to get history. how long depends on how often they clear their cookies. What do you think?"

As Isamu pondered, he noticed Ashley slipping away.

[sasqaricious]

"Yah like they would want to make me the morale officer or something like that. Well thank-you for the vent and a little more explanation. If you want me to take off and leave you to rest I can do so. I have a feeling we are going to be acting to find this Jason person tonight or tomorrow." Waiting to here his response Deci takes to a hovering position at the foot of the bed seeing he is probably resting up.

[jeflint]

Sasha shook her head. "No, Mario was right. I spent so much time in the bar I never really did anything but crash there. There was always paper work to do, bills to pay, employees to take care of," she says leading Avi to the back door.

"I always thought no matter how bad it would get the bar would just be here." She pushes hard against one of the doors. "You didn't have to come, Avi. That job was important. But thank you. Now that I haven't a bar to go to maybe we can get your job back."

[doc]

"Guess that depends on how thorough Jason is. But bring up those news stories if you can. Maybe that's a clue?" Tom looks at Janie. "You're really good at this stuff."

[Dome]

Isamu slips away as well and follows Ashley. He calls after her, "Ashley, are you alright?"

[Mierin]

Alice blinks haven gotten lost in her own thoughts for a few seconds, shaking her head and takes the phone from Jane. "Sorry, Sierra," Alice's voice comes over the line, "I got distracted for a moment there." She pauses for a second to explain "I was hoping you could help me with something, please. Well, help Jason. He's out looking for someone he thinks is involved in his medical condition, named Charisma. He is going to be going over to a cyber cafe near you. I think he could use some help and you would be the best person to keep up with him since you can copy his abilities." Alice then falls quiet as she waits for a response.

[dakota]

" fine, Is. Just not much help in there. I'm a doer, not a thinker." She smirked. " And the way Alice dismissed Avi, I'm not sure I want to open my mouth too much, being the ex and all." she shrugged.


Janie gave a knowing smirk as she typed," I've had some practice. My brother taught me how to hack in high school. He's the gifted one, though he's locked up now. Interpol didn't like it when he hacked in and put his landlord on their most wanted list for evicting him. The man looks nothing like Osama, so I didn't see the big deal. There." Her screen brought up a list of access history. The comps had been wiped less than an hour ago, but the two on the news stories had been on a while. One was reading the daily paper pdf and the other had been searching classified for a new car.

" janie, what's this? Dmitri said from behind them.

" Oh that? Means whoever is looking up the public records at city hall is sending an email. happens all the time." Janie dimissed, her comment making it apparent she had done this before.

" Nah, you can stay and gab a bit, Deci." Ryne replied. " I'm just waiting for this crap they gave me to wear off completely. My powers don't normally let me feel run down, so I'm just not used to this."


***********

Avi shrugged. " I'm not going crawling back. I'll give Alice some time to cool her jets unless she wants to talk to me." The upstairs apartment had been spared from fire damage, but the sprinklers had gone off, so there was smoke and water damage. " Look, why don't you grab some of your stuff for now and crash with me. The place I'm going has a couple rooms so you won't get crowded. The insurance company will jerk your chain for a couple days anyways and you can't stay here. In the meantime, I'll help you however I can. deal?"

"The News story. Jason doesn't strike me as a car guy." Tom suggests.
