I walked up to Tyler house and knocked on the door. Luckly Tyler answered.
"Alexa Croft. Skipping school...that's not like you."
"Shut up." I said jokingly. I walked into the house. "Nobody else is home right?"
"Ya it's just me." I took of my back pack off and walked into his study. I set the hammer down on his empty table. "Wow. What they hell is that?" He went to pick it up.
"Nope." I stopped him. "You need the gloves and belt to pick it up."
"What is it?"
"Thor's hammer." I crossed my arms.
"Like the god of thunder?"
"Yep. The one and only. Guess he was more than a ledgend after all. Anyways, I need your help. You're a techno-geek right?"
"I'm good with technology yes."
"Good. Another question...what can you tell me about someone named Natla?"
"Are you talking about Natla Technologies? It's just one of the biggest companies in the world."
"No I'm talking about a person. She goes by the name of Natla."
"Well let me see what I can find." He went to his computer and started his search. For a while he was quiet so I sat on the table by the hammer. "Got it! Jacqueline Natla CEO and founder of Natla Technologies, she's been missing for years so the company is being ran by her closet friend and V.P Rob Harrison. He's currently working in Tokyo."
"Tokyo huh? What's this Rob guy look like?"
"Umm here's a recent press interview or somthing." He clicked on the video and a man with light black hair and dark tan skin walked up to the mic.
"Thank you."
"Pause it!" I yelled. Tyler did so.
"What?"
"I know that voice. He was one of the guys in black. The guy that lead the invasion of my house. They were after the hammer. " I looked over at the hammer. Why was it so important. From my mom's stories it served it's perpose.
"Well he'll be back in Tokyo by tomarrow at the latest."
"He's bound to know somthing about this Natla woman."
"What do you plan to do? Walk on a plane and go to Japan, hunt the guy down, stick a pistol to his head, and demand answers?"
"Pretty much. I got my passport, my mom's extra travel credit card, everything I need really."
"And how are you planning to get those on a plane?" He pointed to my pistols.
"Easy. They're not made of metal. Mom has all the weapons in the house made of somthing so they don't come up on scanners or metal detectors."
"Ah. Well what are you planning on doing with that thing?" He pointed to the hammer.
"Hide it, and the gloves and belt. I need to keep all four of them apart, the if one's found they don't have all the peices."
"Well why don't you hide the hammer in the last place people would think to look?"
"What?"
"Like I don't know...your school locker maybe?"
"That could work...but how am I going to walk in, hide the hammer, and get out?"
"I'll write you a note to get you out of school."
"They know Winston's handwriting."
"They don't know your mom's"
"True. Well then while I'm gone why don't you do somthing else." I got my head set. "Connect to this. Then I can get a hold of you alot easier when I don't have any hands."
"Alright. Well...here's the note, get going." He handed me the note and I left for school.
I walked up to school and went straight to the office and gave them the note. It was half way through the day and everyone was at lunch. I made my way to my locker, pretending to get my stuff, annd put the hammer inside.
"Alexa!" I turned around to find Kathy standing right behind me.
"Ya kathy?"
"Where the hell have you been! You missed like, almost the whole day!"
"Sorry but somthing came up and I'm going out of the country with my mom. Would you tell Couch I can't be captain?"
"You won't be there? Without you the team's going to fail!"
"I'm sorry. It's family stuff. It's really important and I have to go." I walked past her, not looking back and left the school.
I got back to Tyler's house. He was still on his computer.
"Alright 1st pice hidden. Now the 2nd," I took the belt off. "I'm keeping here. I want you to make sure nobody get's this. Got it?" I handed him the belt.
"Got it. Now You're all set. I'm conected to your PDA, headset, everything."
"Great. I've got the flight booked, hotel set, everything's good." I packed up my weapons and everything else into my bag.
"Make sure to call me when you land. I'll try and get some information on this Rob guy."
"Thanks. Talk to you soon." Then I grabbed my bag and headed to the air port.
