"Okay, so..." Henry said, as he finished talking with Eli. "So we have a slight complication on our hands."

"Oh, what now?!" Sonya said, rolling her eyes on the roof of the room. "Don't tell me we lost him already."

Maximilian brushed off the comments of Sonya, and merely crossed his arms as he faced Henry. Calmly saying, "What is it, Agent Olin? I'm certain we can handle it."

"Uh, well, they're not home. And Eli's on a pissbreak."

"Alright, then we'll just go find them." Maximilian shrugged as he said. He pressed the button on his earpiece, and said, "Grue, can you help us find Trevor and Scarlet Obott?"

From the uppermost floors of the NEST Headquarters was Dana Alcott, - Or as her codename goes, [i]Grue[/i] -  sitting behind computer screens. A new recruit to RAVEN - but no rookie to NEST - Dana was the mission control for the group. And she felt [i]honored[/i] to be selected for such a group. "I'm upstairs, Maximilian." Dana noted. "You could always come up and ask me... It gets lonely in here."

"Oh, um, I'm sorry."

"Yeah, go [i]ask[/i] her, Max." Henry said, crossing his arms and wiggling his eye ridge.

Maximilan let out a sigh. "Alright, I'm on my way up, Miss Alcott." He said, defeated. He walked over to the door, and opened it. "Meeting dismissed." He walked out the door, and went on his way.

"Oh, goody." Sonya dropped down from the ceiling, and clapped her hands together - it created a wet slapping sound. "I think I had enough with the shooting, and the REAPERS... think me and Maria will be taking a break to help with the little things. We [i]did[/i] come here to help stabilize the city, after all."

"We could ask Dana for a mission." Maria said. She then touched the earpiece and asked, "Grue, do you know anything going on around the city that we could help with?"

"Oh?" Grue said. "Let me check..." She said as she quickly typed on the computer. "There was a murder in Union Point Hills. An Animal Meta. Her name is Cora Dubois.... You might have some problems."

"Oh? Why?" Sonya asked.

"VPD beat us there."

"Oh, that isn't good." Sonya shook her head with that familar smile on her face. "But tell them that we're on the way. We'll get to the bottom of this in no time." She nodded her head, and then spoke to Henry, "Hope this doesn't bug you too much, Henry. Me and the wifey just need some alone time!"

Henry didn't know how to feel about this news. He'd definitely miss Sonya and Maria. They definitely related to him more than most before him. But he didn't show it. He put on a stony face and nodded. "Not at all. Best of luck to you two." He sagged as he heard Cora had been murdered. He hadn't really known her but... she had given him a chance (If only he had a chance to tap that OOOOOOOOOOOOOH).

"Lets get this overwith so you two can get your break on."

"While ya'll are on your little adventures," Leon said as he walked on past with a lazy smile on his face. He put a cigarette in between his lips - but didn't light it. "Rest of RAVEN is going to be on standby." He stopped at the doorframe, and looked back at them. "Make sure them dastardly REAPERs aren't up to anything. Peace." He walked out, followed by the rest of the task force.

At this moment, Maximilian had ascended the elevator to the floor he needed to be. He started walking past the Agents, one had waved, and he said, "Hello." before he reached Dana's room. He pushed the door open, and he immediately saw her petite frame, and her black near-afro swinging as she turned to him. She was wearing a purple sweater - the room.

"Maximilian, hello." Dana said, taking a sip of her Pepsi. "Thank you."

"I came like I said would." Maximilian walked over to Dana. "Can you give me and Mr. Olin the location of the Obotts"

Henry coughed a 'that's what she said' over the mic.

"Now, I can do that." Dana started typing on the computer, and Maximilian leaned in. Dana started pulling up Scarlet's credit card transactions, and Scarlet made a transaction not too long ago. "Oh? Scarlet Obott made a transaction at the Chinese-American Buffet over in the Chinatown district five minutes ago. I can send both of you through your datapads."

"Good." Maximilian took a few steps to the door - before he stopped, and faced Dana. "We'll definitely be going to the bar later on. And you're coming."

"Oh? I don't drink... but I'd enjoy the company." Dana said with a smile.

Maximilian was out the door - almost closing it behind him - before Dana called out, "Wait, Maximilian!"

He poked his head back into the room.

"Agent Swarm Queen, and White Leopard have updated, and there's a bit of activity going on in the base." Dana nodded her head. "They'll keep up with the stakeout, but I feel the big one is coming up."

Good. It appears that Leon's prediction isn't off. Swarm Queen and White Leopard are safe and sound. "Thank you, Miss Alcott. We're not going to let this opportunity go to waste. We're going to deal a decisive blow against the Hands, and bring a end to them. Once and for all." 

"Glad to hear it." 

Maximilian stepped out the room, and put his fingers on his earpiece. "Alright, Agent Olin, Grue found them. I think we can get there in time."

"Where are they at?" Henry questioned.

"Grue will send us the location. They're in Chinatown getting something to eat.... We'll take your car."

"Time to go on a monster movie rampage."

Everyone in RAVEN groaned.

It was a short trip in Henry's Mercedes G63 but the two managed to arrive outside the Chinese Buffet. It was a simple building made out of bricks, it was decorated like a generic Hong Kong structure. The windows were tinted, so they could barely see in. Maximilian stepped out the truck and slammed the door shut behind him. He looked up at the building.

"Looks like the kind of building they'd go out to eat in." Maximilian noted, he started walking in. "Let's go."

"How the fuck would you know that..." Henry said, stepping out of his car and recieving many startled looks from pedestrians. Henry, being himself, struck a volatile pose prompting them to run off in mock fright.

"I talk to Private Obott... when her brother gets into trouble." Max noted... then he noticed that Henry was doing this ridiculous pose. "We're trying to [i]regain[/i] face here, Olin. No need to scare them."

"Please, you say that like they dont already know me here."

"Wait, what are you doing in your downti-" Maximilian asked. Then realized he probably didn't want to know.

He walked up to the door, and opened it.

Henry mumbled under his breath. Something about getting on the floor, and then walking the dinosaur.

"Oh, hello Henry." The woman at the front desk greeted Henry, and not Maximilan (Which hurt his pride).

Henry was all smiles, and people's reactions to him were often why he loved visiting Chinatown so much. If he wasn't part of monster movie culture, then he was part of historic culture. He loved being... enjoyed for once. Much more than he did being tolerated.

"Hello!" Henry replied. "Sorry to intrude but, does there happen to be a Scarlet or Trevor Obott in the building?"

"Oh, Scarlet?" The woman pointed at the corner, where Scarlet Obott was sitting, eating three plates of sushi. "She's right there."

"Thank you for your help. We just need to have a word with her..." Maximilian said as he stepped over. Henry did a slight bow to the woman in thanks and followed after Maximilian.

Scarlet noticed them before they walked up - and she stopped what she was doing, and awkwardly saluted them. "[i]Sir![/i]"

"At ease, Private. Agent Olin wanted to have a word with you about a certain mission... and...."

"I'll explain in the car, because it's probably best not to brief you in such a public place but.. we need you and your brother. Speaking of which, where's Trevor?"

Scarlet didn't exactly know what Henry was on about... but it must have been serious. She was sweating slightly. She was only a Private! She's not ready! So, she fell back to the only subject that she could. "Trevor? He went off to show some new kids around the city with some friends."

Okay, so Trevor isn't here. Maximilian merely shrugged. No problem. "Alright, we'll just call him, and we'll meet-"

Scarlet put a iPhone, with a purple case to protect it, on the table.

".... What's that?"

"His phone."

Maximilan put on a comical rage face, with his head arced back, and his teeth bared.

Henry laughed his usual hearty laugh at Max's expression. He was so used to these kinds of complications he almost expected it to happen. He pulled his own phone out and snapped a quick photo of his college simply for novelty's sake.

"No, no, no. Delete that now." Maximilian said as he reached for Henry's phone. Henry held it high above Max's reach and leaned away. "No way I'm saving it on the cloud and sending it to everyone in RAVEN just you wait."

"I will use Echo."

"I will post the pictures of you at the Christmas party if you do that."

That was enough to get Max to shut up... or consider murdering Henry.

As Henry held Max back with his tail, he continued. "Do... you have any idea where he might be, Scarlet?"

Scarlet started tapping on the table, looking off to the side. Thinking hard as she could, and remembered their conversation (Which, with all the sex jokes, was hard). "He mentioned heading over to Knightdale Rows to meet one of his friends...." Scarlet trailed off, before she shot a finger into the air. "Oh! I think he's meeting his friend, Cindy. He told me that her dad owns a Nightclub over in the Rows that he lets her use as a hangout."

"Hey, uh, Grue, can you get us some info on middle aged men who own clubs on Knightdale Rows, and cross reference them with those who have children named Cindy?" Henry said, pressing his index claw to his ear piece. He heard Eli say something like 'assfuck' and 'god damn lizard replacing me'. 

The comms went alive almost immediately with Dana's typing. "Oh, let me look." A few moments later, Dana came back. "There's Jackson Keagan, who owns the Candy Club, his daughter is Cindy Keagan...." Dana trailed off, as she realized there was more information to relay. "Elemental type Metahuman, her specialty is glass. Oh, also. She nearly spent a year in a NEST prison when she was sixteen."

Henry was quiet for a moment. "Well she probably doesnt like us much. Sounds good. Oh, and one more thing. Why are you called Grue? Like, is this some form of 'Dispicable Me' joke or...?"

Dana cleared her throat. "... You know of my ability... right?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"A friend gave it to me while I was in the Academy Program. She said I was... like a Grue. I guess it just stuck with me." She cleared her throat. "Boring story, I know."

"Nerd." was all Henry said in response, but he made sure that his voice held a joking tone to it.

"Alright, so, we should probably go find your brother, Scarlet. Would you mind coming with us?"

"Um...." Scarlet looked down at her three plates of Sushi she hasn't gotten to yet. "... I'm still eating."

"Good lord, who eats this much sushi?" Max asked, putting his hand out.

"... I don't like making multiple trips." Scarlet said, shrugging up her shoulders.

Henry grumbled in agreement. He understood Scarlet's struggle. He understood it too well.
