Chapter Seven “The sun isn't even up yet I need some coffee.” “Quiet! There's our target.” “Where is she going this time of morning?” “This is the business district nothing is open at this hour.” “She looks mature what age do you think she is?” “Hard to tell from this distance the rhythm of her walk is steady straight posture, hmm . . . maybe seventy.” “She's opening the door at Dough & Coffee working at this stage of her life.” “Most bakeries start prepping before dawn for all the freshly baked goods. Let's take a look in the window.” “I can't see much the front lights are so dim, but the kitchen is lit up. I see her moving around going back and fourth probably gathering all the ingredients.” “Morning, you fellas have been staring in the window for twenty minutes. I hate to see customers waiting outside for the business to open. My motto is if there are customers at the door we are open no matter what time it is.” “I like your motto it needs to be

Chapter 11 We're on a boat? By my previous knowledge this is called a . . . yacht. So that's why we are dressed in these strange clothes. It's called a staff uniform so we can blend in. (I hate newbies) What did you say? Twelve, I said nothing. We need to carefully stroll this deck and the other two levels to find our target. We must look productive someone left cleaning tools, you can clean the windows while I do the floors stay alert! (There are not many people makes me think of hourly boating. Humans pay money to the owner to take them on a body of water for enjoyment.) Ninety three what if someone ask me who I am? Just tell them you the new hire. What name should I use? Make up something simple like Josie Rita or Lucie be creative what did they teach you at the House of Knowledge? Goo gobbs of stuff but not fake names that's why I'm in-training, you veterans have zero patience. More cleaning less talk stay focused. Twelve lets head to the 2nd level where

Chapter Ten "This line of people wraps around the building. What is this place?" "Some type of night club where humans dance drink and listen to music." "Why do we have to wait in line?" "Because you need a wrist band and your hand stamped with certain picture and color that we can't reproduce by osmosis." "Can't we just fade in." "Yes we could but the moment someone who is staff or security sees us with no wrist band or hand stamp they will escort us to the nearest exit. Standing outside waiting for our target to leave the club will take forever, and we have a limited amount of time." "Glad we came early or we would never get in." "I'm sure they have a people capacity limit so the humans near the end of the line may nget in. We're almost at the entrance. Here put these in your pocket." "What are they for?" "You'll find out soon enough." "Everyone one is dressed in strange clothes is this some special event?" "I overheard someone talking it's

It's filthy in here smells of rotten wood and mildew, but it's quiet and hopefully no rats.

This is starting off in a ominous way. We

Chapter Six Eighty-three this bridge goes on forever it's so high up connecting one piece of land to another. I wonder how long it took the humans to build it? So ingenious over such a huge body of water. Seventy-two there's our target. Wow! She looks way too young to be out so late by herself that backpack is bigger than she is. Seventy-two you hang back if she see's two grown men approach her she'll get scared or start running, and we are not allowed to chase after people. Got it. (Agent walks slowly toward the target) Cough, cough are you okay staring out into the night sky? Yeah, I'm good just trying to figure out what direction I need to go in. It's kinda late for you to be out here alone. I usually travel at night it's so peaceful and quiet I can think, its hard to do that . . . . (falling to the ground) Seventy-two get over here now! Eighty-three it's good you caught her or she would have a big bump on her head. Quit talking an scan her body I need to

Bugs usually attack females mostly you must have progesterone hormones. What! You are not funny. Have you located the target yet? Scanning scanning it's him the one in the rolling electric chair. Let's go have a chat and see if he is interested. Who wouldn't be excited about walking on two legs and leaving that rolling chair behind forever. This should be easy peasy. Excuse me sir I am here to offer you a opportunity of a lifetime. " Ha ha ha sounds interesting but gentlemen I can't sit while you stand. There is a park bench up ahead please follow me. (sounds of wheels rolling on the pavement) There's a drinking fountain to your left bodies need water." Have a seat now I don't have to look up and get a crook in my neck. I am ....
