How bad is it?" Mike asked. There was nothing good about the way Duncan was reacting, and adding that to how Harriet had looked it didn't bode well. It didn't seem like a matter whether the situation was bad or not anymore, but how bad the situation was.

Mitch listened to Lydral gave and what the two siblings were saying to each other. Half of what he heard was information he could't place - what the hell were 'Nurics' anyway? - but he had heard enough to assess their strenghts. At the end of it he turned to Benjamin. "You would just get in their way. Let them handle it; you are out of your league."

While Benjamin wanted to protest, he knew Mitch was telling the truth, so he nodded. There was nothing he could contribute in this mission and it was best to let people who could handle it do it. 

"I can go in your place if you don't trust them to have the right priorities," Mitch continued, pleased to see Benjamin was smart about it. "I can use the challenge; none of the jobs from my agency have been particular challenging and I'm getting bored." He turned to Lydral. "When will that new gun be ready."

"Wait," Benjamin said. "You're not going to kill people, are you?"

"If you want your girlfriend back, people will die. That is the trade-off," Mitch stated coldly.

The assistant supported Rose as she started to walk away with her. "4C will be your new room," she said. "Dr Waters has given the order to prepare it for you. I'm sure you'll find it to your liking."
She made her way to an elevator with two guards following them, so they could get to the fourth floor.

As the assistant left, Lily turned to Steph. "This way dear, we're taking the elevator on the other side. 4P is the number of your room and I decorated it myself. I hope you will like it. Rose and Gaia will stay on the fourth floor too, so you will be close to your friends."
She started going towards the elevator and two gaurds walked behind them. "What kind of food do you like? I will instruct the kitchen to make something special for you."

Agents walked towards Daz with guns pointed at him. "Sir? What is your name, sir?" They asked. Others kept an eye on the sky to be ready from any threats from the sky.
