I apologize for the delay. Hopefully things will come faster now.

Reviews and input of any kind are appreciated.

"Artie, there was a foot print right into the street!" Pete exclaimed, clearly excited.

His boss didn't share his enthusiasm. He'd heard of more impressive feats. He'd seen more impressive feats himself. Artie sighed and barely suppressed a roll of his eyes at his easily impressed agents. A moment passed then another.

Myka glanced at her partner nervously who shrugged and silently mouthed "Wha-?"

"And being the stellar agents that you are you followed the prints, have the person in custody and have already neutralize the artifact." Artie blurted out in a rapid outburst of words.

Myka looked between Pete and the Farnsworth. "A-Actually the footprints they- they stopped a few blocks down."

Pete picked up where Myka left off, "Maybe he stopped using the artifact."

Starting to synergize, Myka said, "Or she!"

Pete raised his eyebrows at Myka, "Oh snap! Like a female Flash! Or Supergirl!" Pete bounced a little in boyish eagerness. "She was so hot! I had a major crush on her."

"When? Last week?" Myka said with a nerdy chuckle.

"Noo." Pete replied with mock offense, but he didn't say when. Instead he turned away, making Myka smile because she knew that she was close to the truth.

The graying supervisor adjusted his glasses and took charge. "Ok, look. Claudia was able to clean up some images and she uh- took them- with the…" The old man devolved into incomprehensible muttering until the red head techy popped in Pete's and Myka's screen.

"Please, sit down before you hurt yourself." Claudia quipped at Artie. "Leave the tech talk to those under 25." She held her hand out for his Farnsworth.

"Uh- good. Fine. Explain." Artie gave her his Farnsworth and let her take over briefing them. He gratefully went to the comfort of his desk and Warehouse system monitors.

Claudia dove into updating the partners as she sat down at her computer next to Artie. "Hey, so I ran the pics and vids through a couple of filters that I happen to know about, then I compiled the images untiiiil I got this." She turned the Farnsworth around to show Pete and Myka her screen.

Pete and Myka both leaned in and squinted at the double digital image. Think lines rotated down their screen, cutting up the picture. Myka tilted her head and spoke up. "Claudia, can you send us that image?"

"Yeah, oh wait." The techy leaned over and pressed a button to send the image to her printer, then clicked her mouse a few times. "Okaaaay… and it's on the way to you now. But look at this." Claudia leaned over and grabbed the sheet that her printer was just turning out. She held the sheet up for Pete and Myka to see over the Farnsworth. The image showed a fuzzy person in a white t-shirt and long pants. What stood out was that where his feet would be was a light color with a clear Nike swoosh on the side of form fitting shoes.

"You see that? Not quite standard footwear!" Claudia said.

Myka squinted at the black and white image in the Farnsworth. "What is that?"

Pete chimed in, "Claudia, wait a minute, are you telling us that this guy has some sort of artifact running shoes?"

Suddenly Artie popped back into their view. "Probably. You may be looking for Michael Johnson's running shoes, the same ones that he wore in the 1996 Summer Olympics. He was the first man to win both the 200 and 400 meter races, breaking both Olympic and World records, and these were the shoes that he wore when he ran those races. You'll know them when you see them. They're custom made gold shoes by Nike."

Pete looked up and said, "Oh yeah… I remember those. The gold shoes. Man, that guy was fast!"

Artie leaned in, "Well, so is this guy! Keep an eye out and go bag an artifact!" He promptly flipped the Farnsworth closed, effectively ending the conversation.
