Watching

JP with Jaxx, Cindy and Trustno1

Alyssa tried cell phones, internet access, even tried to figure out if the cab was more modern, some having mapping systems. No luck on any of the above, well that was annoying.

She switched to watching a few different cameras, they didn't show. Oh well - lost the Dragons. She wondered if there was a security camera by the abandoned house.

Back to typing away, "Found it," Alyssa just about jumped from her seat, completely forgetting Max was there. "I found them and - hmmm - someone new." A quick search brought up a one Mr. Sung Shun Shi - Dragon. "And then there were three." Thinking out loud.

"Hey, Peter the two Greens are at the Halliwell house and they've been joined by another Green, a Mr. Sung Shin Shi." Alyssa spoke to Agent Satre's chip.

Agent Powers was chewing a taco as he heard Alyssa speak up. He listened to her and continued to eat another taco before drinking from his tea bottle.

Alyssa was continuing to watch the Dragons when suddenly - what the? Her mouth fell open at what she had witnessed. Not that she didn't know some could do what the one Green had just done but that the young woman couldn't fathom any reason for it. She wished that hearing their conversation was an option right now.

"Peter, I hope you're close to the house. The Dragons are making a mess of things." Alyssa spoke then looked up, suddenly remembering she had company. "Max, you wanna go for a ride?”

Agent Powers finished off his tenth taco and wiped his mouth before he swallowed it. Then he washed it down with his bottled green tea and nodded to Alyssa and replied, "Uh sure thing. where are we going?”

"We're going to get closer to the Halliwell house. '' Alyssa downed the last of her taco and made her way to the front of the van. "Join me in the front, make sure you put your seatbelt on. Don't need a cop stopping us." She put her can in the cup holder of the black center console, and buckled herself in then started the van up. If something went wrong she'd be there to help with the get away. If not, well, a van in one place for too long could draw suspicion. It was time to move anyway.

Agent Powers made his way to the front of the van as he kept bumping things on the way. His large frame was not suitable for most vehicles. Once he was buckled in he replied, "All good here. Do you know the way or do we have GPS?”

The question made her look at him, almost as if he had grown a third head. Like she would have all this computer equipment and not have GPS.

"GPS, " Alyssa responded, as she plugged in the address. The van started down the road. "We'll be there in a few minutes."

They drove for a little while and Alyssa finally actually spoke to the boy. It was a little weird thinking of him as boy but according to his record that's what he was. "So, how long before you change back?”

Agent Powers froze at the question. He was shocked she would know about his secret identity. He didn't tell anyone about it since he didn't want to be seen as a weak kid. So he tried to play it off as he replied, "Huh? was I suppose to wear something different? I sent my luggage to the hotel." He was hoping that excuse would work on Alyssa.

Alyssa shook her head to Max's response. "The Illuminati knows all. I know what they know." A small grin accompanying her words.

She didn't get a chance to see Max's reaction before getting a response from Peter.

"I climbed in through the attic window. The Dragon blew the door open........... if the sisters still lived here they would expect us to fix their door." said Sartre.

"I saw and I might be able to help with that. We're on our way.” Alyssa responded back.

Agent Powers was not in a cold sweat as he dropped his jaw as he looked at Alyssa. He resembled the catch of the day at an all you can eat sushi bar. He had no clue his secret was out and the entire Illuminati knew about it. He had worked so hard to stay in his muscular adult form in the public eye in order to be taken seriously. However now he was awestruck that it was all for nothing. He was full of mixed emotions such as anger to his father, embarrassment from Alyssa, betrayed, hurt, confused and awkward. Oddly enough it was the same mixture of emotions he felt when he took a fancy to the girl working at the coffee place he liked to go to back home in New York. Oddly enough the only response he could mutter was , "oh.........”

"Don't worry about it," Alyssa said, in a brief moment of helping. "It's impossible to hide things from the Illuminati. If they didn't think you were capable of doing the job you wouldn't be here. None of us would."

Agent Powers replied, "Oh.......I see. (pause) my father didn't mention that." Agent Powers looked at his watch and sighed as he saw the time and muttered, "I only have two, maybe three hours left." He was worried now since he was pushing his luck now. It was a scary thought to know his muscular body could melt in the heat of battle. As a teen he was train in martial arts but he was no longer bullet proof and that was terrifying to him. He then asked, "Do you know what happens when my time runs out then?”

"I didn't read the details. I know you turn into or back into - whatever - a teenager. 15, is it?" Alyssa responded, as she turned a corner.

The woman spotted the house, not only did she know what it looked like, but it was the only one with the door blown open. Alyssa let out a deep sigh. "We're here. That's the house." Pointing it out. "Let's hope none of the agents in there are in a shoot first ask questions later mood." Looking at the agent next to her. "Well, you'd be fine - I suppose but my body personally doesn't like being shot."

Alyssa then spoke to the agent not in the van. "Peter we're here. Let them know we're coming because I prefer to stay in one piece." Parking the van as she spoke.
