"There were two other guys named William and Harmon. I do not know if they were mutants or not."

" What did he say?" Long heard from the phone.
"He said Harmon and William. Why?"
"Williams was one of the names of the recovered bodies." Trevor's friend said.
Trevor grimaced. " Ash, we gotta go. Can you help or not?"
" Bring your friend here and we'll figure this out."
Trevor smiled and hung up "First good news we've had."

"I will second that." Long nods.
Getting back in the car and starting up, "Where to?"

"First, the two of us look like crap, so we better get cleaned up a little. then we head to the beach to meet up with Ashley and her friends." Trevor replied, sounding more like a suggestion than a decision. " I can't go to my place, so your place or just hit a wal-mart or something?"

"We cannot go to my place. They would be looking for us there too. Let me call my partner. Hopefully he would be willing to let us get cleaned up at his place."
Long puts the money into the phone and dials.

"As long as you trust him." Trevor said as he stepped aside to allow Long a bit of privacy.
The drowsy" Hullo?" that answered the call told Long that his partner must have drawn night shifts, which he didn't handle well.

"Rafa, it is Long. Listen, before you start freaking out, what you might have heard is a lie. I was setup. I did not kill anybody. I was working with the FBI undercover. They had me join the mutant mafia. Things did not go as planned. There is a mole in the department. We've got a plan to clear our names, but we need a little clean up and rest before we do anything else. What do you say, partner? Can we drop by for a little bit?"

Rafa groaned through a yawn, " Long, you realize how much crap you are in? I...," there was a pause," okay, but come up the back stairs and don't let anyone see you, okay? And you owe me bigtime."

"You got it, buddy. We should probably be there in a little less than 45 minutes."
After Long hangs up the phone, "I trust Rafael. I would not have called him if I did not, but I am also no fool. Somebody might be watching his house without his knowledge. We need to make sure that the place is clear before we approach the door. Right about now we could really use a pair of binoculars and a directional microphone. Unfortunately, nobody is giving those away on the street corner. We will have to make do with up close surveillance."
Come on. Let's get cleaned up. And Long hops back in the car.

Trevor nodded and got in the car as well before pulling away.
With Long's directions, the pair were soon sitting down the block from Long's partner's apartment building. Long knew Rafi could do better, but stayed because a cop in the building had helped keep trouble away so far, and he had a thing for the super's daughter.
"So, what do you want to do?" Trevor asked, looking down the street, " Looks clear to me."

"Stay here for a bit. It is too bad that a person flying by and bursting into flames will grab so much attention, but that is the way it goes."
Long gets out of the car and as casually as possible he will walk over to one of the palm trees lining the street (all the time making sure nobody is watching). He then jumps as high up the tree as he can, grabs hold, and climbs the rest of the way as fast as he can. He will try to stay hidden among the fronds at the top. Then he will look at the cars on the street in both directions to see if there is anybody trying to stay hidden and/or watching the house. He will also look at the house to see if there is anybody hiding in the hedge or behind some curtains. (You know, the regular surveillance stuff.)
[dice=100] for climbing
[dice=100] for prowl to stay hidden at the top.[rand=24667543262809388923670359887879388128865229429188631644963169138]

"Very funny." Was the last thing Long heard from Trevor before departing.
There were a few cars parked in front of the apartment building, but none of them looked like the familiar surveillancetype sedans he knew the department used. And other than the hooker on the corner, no one was hanging out watching the place.

Long jumps down and walks back to the car.
"It looks clear. There is nobody that I could see except for a hooker on the corner. I think it is ok to go in."

Trevor got out of the car. " We need a plan to make a quick getaway in case you're wrong. just because you trust him doesn't mean I have to."
He knocked on the trunk," We'll be back shortly, stay tight."
going in the back way, everything still looked clear as they went to Raf"s ground floor apartment. He looked still half asleep as he opened the door," C'mon, before someone see you."

Long hurries into the apartment. When they both get inside Long makes sure to close the door behind them. And then gives Rafael a big hug.
"Rafa, It is so great to see you again after the night we just had. I promise that we will not be here for very long. Like I said, we do have a plan to clear our names."
