JP with mdman, Redsword, Jaxx, Trustno1 and Cindy

Takes place before and during Learning From The Master.

Alyssa opened the door at Max's voice, "Do you have the box of office supplies?" She asked Max?

Agent Powers nodded as he presented the box in question and replied, "Sure do.”

Choi ensured he had all his belongings. He packed what he had stored in the drawers, gathered his gao and other weapons, then checked on Dahlia and Sung.

Dahlias had all her things packed. She put her .38 into the back of her pants. She looked at Choi’s gao. “Let me have that and I can bless it for you.”

“When we get where we’re going,” Choi agreed. He shouted to Sung, “Master Sung? Are you ready?”

Sung smiled and looked to be thinking. "I am always ready," replied Sung. "Let's go take my SUV?" Sung asked, helping with what he could.

"Good then, let's go." When they got downstairs, Alyssa said to the group. "Not sure, who's riding with who but with Peter, Max and myself, there's room for one more in my van and their stuff without being cramped." She opened up her van, "Max just put the box in the back. Peter, see that tub there." Pointing out a blue tub in the corner, put the printer and cords in that." She stashed her items in the back then waited to see who was riding with her.

As he collected her printer, Peter noticed that two notes fell out of one of the trays. They were both addressed to Alyssa. "Alyssa, someone seemingly found a way in here. These notes are addressed to you." He handed her the notes. "I'll ride with you my hacker." said Sartre.

“I’ll take you up on that offer,” Dahlia offered to Sung, “Master Sung. I have too much for Yeong’s car.”

Choi looked rather dejected. It would have been the perfect opportunity for them to talk about last night. He would need to process this on his own. He was the odd man out, as the Princess was sure to ride with Powers. He was sure of that after what he witnessed this morning.

As Alyssa waited, by her van, for the others to decide who they were riding with, she read the messages. Her brows raised. "Well, these both are something to discuss when we get to the house, after everyone is settled.”

Sartre climbed into the van.

Dahlia placed her luggage into Sung’s SUV. “Thank you for the ride, Master Sung. I haven’t had the privilege of actually meeting you yet!” She reached to shake the older, distinguished man’s hand. “I thought we could talk along the way.”

Choi got into his car. He texted Alyssa: Send me the address so I can plug it into my GPS.

"Alyssa is a great driver," said Sartre.

Alyssa had texted everyone the address but did realize there were sometimes glitches, so, she resent it with the code to the security system.

Before anyone arrived at the SUV Sung got his phone out and seemed to open an app. He looked at the app the light of the phone lit up Sung's face as he tapped on the screen of his phone and walked around the SUV twice then unlocked the doors and got in.

Sung greeted Dahlia and shook her hand gently. "I look forward to it," said Sung now looking at his dash as things flashed across it as the engine started.

“It seems the other Dragons deem you as the wise one,” Dahlia probed.

Agent Powers asked Ekaterina if she wanted to ride in the van with him or with Choi and Dahlia. Then after pondering for a moment she replied she would ride with him in the back of the van. She had a lot of questions figured she could observe and find them on her own. Then Agent Powers loaded the van with the bags and helped Ekaterina in before he got in.

"Alyssa got us a mansion as a safehouse," said Sartre.

Agent Powers listened as he heard they were going to a mansion. This meant they had more privacy from the public but it also meant they were easier targets for the enemy. He pondered in deep thought till Ekaterina asked, "Something troubling you Mr. Powers?"

He gave her a smolder then replied, "Just thinking about our security now."

Ekaterina smiled as she said, "Oh relax, Mr. Powers I will help with that. I can get eyes all around the mansion."

Agent Powers gave Ekaterina a puzzled look and she smiled as she wiggled her finger and a dragonfly fly up from behind her and landed on her finger and did a few tricks before flying behind her again. She then winked at Agent Powers as he was in awe by her cool trick.

"There's a full security system in place as well." Alyssa made sure of. "Hopefully, we can ramp up the system a bit, as well.”

Agent Powers gave Alyssa a smolder before he nodded and replied, "Sounds good."

He then gave Ekaterina a smolder and she winked at him then gave him a sly smirk before she asked him, "You mentioned using special ammo on vampires earlier. Do you only have it for your gun?"

Agent Powers then reached into his pocket and pulled out a golden 12g shotgun bullet and replied, "I have the 12 gauge shotgun shell and slug only. I asked for smaller rounds but my father told me it's less effective to use a smaller shell. This is an all rounder to the supernatural types."

Ekaterina sighed as she replied, "Oh, too bad I only have pistols on me."

Agent Powers then opened his bag and dug around till he found a small 12g black mini pump shotgun.

Agent Powers then said, "Here you can use my backup if you want. The pump is a swivel handle and it holds up to six rounds if we pull out the choke."

Ekaterina elegantly accepted the shotgun and examined it like a trained soldier and nodded as she found it cute. She then replied, "I like this. I'll have to order one later on."

Agent Powers pulled out a box of golden shells and handed it to Ekaterina as he replied, "Keep it. I have several of them."

Ekaterina elegantly smiled at Agent Powers and replied, "Such a gentleman.”

Alyssa heard the exchange in the backseat, she knew it wasn't the Vampires they were going to have to worry about, but she really wanted to tell everyone at the same time.

As it turned out Alyssa's van was the first to arrive, she drove up to the large rod iron gate, the keypad, fortunately, was able to be reached from the van. She keyed in the code and the gates opened. It led to a long winding paved driveway and at the end the house with a multi-car garage off to one side.

Alyssa was glad it seemed as nice as described. "So, will this work?" She asked.
