He appeared by my side. "Are you done?" I asked. I was spooked by his arrival again and said stop popping up by my side. I don't like surprises. "Can you at least give me a little sign that you'll appear?" I begged. He smirked and laughed, the cheeky prick. While we were there atop that roof we started talking about our lives. I found that he has no kin. His family was gone. He was taken by the agency for his powers. He was nicknamed "The Shadow" pft. I hugged him. I hugged him out of nowhere. I don't know why I did and I got embarrased as usual. When I talked about my life I just simply said that I dream of becoming an agent so that's why I joined. But I grew bored of it. I couldn't tell him that I was the heir to my father. He laughed! "Well that's a short dream!" he smiled at me. I laughed too, to my surprise. I was stunned that I laughed and smiled at him. We locked eyes. When he stared at me, it was like a wonderful start to him when I smiled. Our chat ended and I took a glance of the scenery then made my way down from the roof top. By 2AM we got ready for our job. Jacob planned to get closer to the building we were scouting so he could info on our target. By 3AM I readied all my tools for surveillance whiled Jacob drove to the building where he disguised himself as an old man. By 4AM a big vehicle approached the building. Jacob walked in front of it and met the target. They met eachothers gaze and walked away. I got the plate of the vehicle, took codes to the building and scanned the target's fingerprint and face. The plan worked. But I noticed that when I finished my spying, the target changed behavior. He spoke to guards and saw me. I reported it to Jacob, packed my stuff and got out of there. No traces were left. Jacob informed our employer of our states. We moved fast to another location. I looked at the warehouse we last surveyed and noticed a vehicle and several forces. I was relieved we moved without leaving tracks for them to sniff. Jacob came in worried. He warned me of a problem. Everything was done routine so I was confused. Then he said the target has similar abilities to mine, but can only view our memories for ten miliseconds. "So that's how he sniffed our base out." I remarked. He was dangerous yet we didn't have proof that he made illegal "affairs". I never saw Jacob so serious before. I calmed his nerves and made a new plan. I told him about the biometric data and codes I collected. So we could use that to enter the building next to us. Our target had access to multiple buildings here and we could use them to escape. One such building had an emergency entrance/exit that lead to the public. So we decided to make our escape there. Based on the layouts I obtained showed that a particular building contained a basement, one that I was sure contained weapons and incriminating documents. So we both agreed to make a "stop" there. But security to it was tight. I plugged in a hack earlier to get into the building so the only problems were the guards. Killing nor the use of my power were options. So I had to think about calling a specialist per Jacob's advice. Hmm, more info to be gathered was needed. So I told Jacob to call a friend to come by today or tomorrow. We'd survey the area, devise a plan and start in 3 days from then. We proceeded with the plan. Jacob's friend would arrive by midnight and would be glad to aid us. The friend, named Alex, was briefed about our plan and in 3 days we would carry it out. I lead the crew via a communication device and instructed their moves. Things went smoothly and they entered the main building. I ran the hack program and granted them access to the basement. Everything went smoothly until they didn't, because that's when I heard footsteps from beyond my door. I packed and a group discovered me. I leaped out a window and made careful use of my powers to get away. I made it to a vehicle to drive to a hideaway but they gave chase. But their hunt quickly ended thanks to the use of a secret passage, courtesy of the agency. I resumed comms with my team and reoriented myself. I used the hack program and secured my team in the basement. No one in or out without my say so. But while sending out instructions I heard it again. I sensed a team outside my domain. How did they even get here I thought. But that thought ended quickly as I found myself surrounded by hired guns. I was encircled. Nowhere to hide. I was left with the only choice of using my power. Suddenly my comm link sounded and I heard "LENA DUCK!!!". So I ducked and in came Alex's weapon, striking the enemies. The job was a success, barely. The team took all the evidence we needed and we submitted it.
