Once "Lilith" left, Alex was able to move his foot up on the leg of the chair enough to untie it. He soon followed suit with the other leg. Free from the chair Alex moved towards the door and, after checking it to find it locked, Alex moved his hands towards his earring. Taking it out and wedging it into the lock, hold the the tied hands close as he dared, Alex waited for the ten seconds to past.

Freeing his hands, Alex opened the door slowly and found "Chuck" on the other side.

"Hi there Chuckie! If you don't mind..." Alex started ducking around "Chuck," hitting him in the back of the neck on the way past. Alex makes it about ten feet from the door when he hears the gun cocked behind him. He turned around to see "Lilith."

"You might be good but not good enough to avoid a bullet."

"You wouldn't shoot a fourteen year old, would you?" Alex asked innocently. He saw her falter. "Ta." With that Alex opened the door and ran.


"He got away, Mikey. How did he open the door? Better yet. Where did the explosion com from?"

Fi glanced up from the door she was inspecting.

"What ever contained the explosion was compact but potent. Couldn't have been bigger than a nickel," Fiona told them.

"So what now Mikey?"

"Let him go. I have a feeling that we will be seeing him again soon. Meanwhile, I have a meeting to get to."


Micheal walked through the park to the meeting place, straightening his jacket.

"Mister Stewards. Pleasure to meet you here," Micheal greeted, sitting on the bench next to Stewards.

"Mutual, I'm sure. Now Mister Adkins, where did you say you were from again? Cornwall, right?" Eugene asked.

"No. Chelsea. Closer to the outer edge though."

"Ah, yes. That's right. Did I tell you my sister married a man there? Her name was Helen. She kept our mother's maiden name of Beckett. She hated our father. She married a John Hunter I think," Eugene stopped here after a rustle was heard in the tree above them. "What was that?"

"A bird I would assume. We are in a park, Mister Stewards."

"Of course. Anyways. It was devastating when she told us she was marrying a British man straight out of Oxford and moving away. Do you have any siblings Adkins?"

"Why yes. A younger brother. He was the angel of the family. His name is Nathan. My parents always considered me the black sheep," Micheal lied with ease.

Eugene laughed. "Me too. Meet me tomorrow at the Coco Kabash for lunch. We'll talk business then." With that Eugene stood and left. Micheal sat there and watched the few guards he brought with him follow. Micheal didn't move for a few minutes before calling Sam.

"Hey Mikey, how did it go?"

"Charles how are you? The meeting went well. I have another meeting tomorrow at lunch."

"Mike is someone listening in?"

"Yes. Everything is fine. I'm heading back now."

With that he ended the phone call and stood up before walking towards a clump of trees and between them taking cover before turning to watch the tree he had been sitting under. Fifteen minutes later Micheal watched a small figure swing down from the tree before looking around and sitting on the bench. Micheal watched as the figure appeared to be making a phone call. Five minutes later the figure stood and began walking towards the parking lot. Micheal gave him a few seconds before following him keeping at a distance. The figure passed the parking lot before continuing on the loop. Micheal paused before continuing. He looked down the track not seeing the figure. Micheal swore as someone spoke behind him.

"Why are you following me?"
