He thought he was just being paranoid until the SUV stopped next to him. The door opened and out stepped Tess, the black lab himself. "Tess!" He said hugging him tightly.
"Hey champ, how've you been?" Tess asked as Alec let go of him. Alec at that question gave Tess a look that said seriously?. "Oh yeah... Right." Tess said
"What are you doing here?" Alec asked
"Well I confronted the board of directors with a proposition" Tess said with a smile.
"And what was that?" He asked once again getting a little worried.
"Well we engineered a suit that gives the wearer the ability to fly! Except no one has the time to test it, that's where you come in you can come back to the agency a-" Tess was saying smiling, but Alec interrupted him.
"That sounds fun and all but I can't leave here now. I have too much here for me" Alec said but Tess kept smiling.
"Yes, we thought you might say that so we upgraded your apartment to be a base of operations where you will get missions from us daily, if you left we were gonna use it to hide missions anyhow, also if doesn't interrupt your school schedule!" He said excitedly.
"But what about my job!" Alec asked
"Oh yes we've been keeping an eye on you, we've sent your resignation to him, and we assure you that the missions will take only your working hours" Tess said smiling ear to ear. Alec thought of it for a moment.
"Hmm oh alright, it'll keep me in shape anyhow" Alec said now smiling.
"Alright now another thing, we also bought the apartment next to yours so now you'll see me everyday, as I'm going to be supervising the missions!" He said
"Hehe well I see your style hasn't changed." Alec said referring to his black suite and red tie, as he climbed in the back of the SUV.
"We'll I see yours hasn't changed either." He said as he then told the driver to go to the apartment.
When they arrived still some questions lingered in Alec's head 'why did he let me go, whats next, and why did he care?' All the while Tess noticed Alec's concerned face as they stepped out of the car.
"Something on your mind champ?" Tess asked
"I was just wondering what's next for me, I mean who am I?" He said quietly
"You know exactly who you are, and that's my son. We may not be blood related but were family. And as for what's next I'm not sure...but hey if you spend your life wavering between the flickering spark at the end and the dark tunnel your in, you'd get nowhere." Tess assured as they opened up Alec's apartment.
"Thanks...Dad" Alec said which made Tess smile.
"Ok now first off this button here opens up this wall to my apartment." He said pointing to the clearly displayed red button next to the light switch. The light switch of course on the left of the door. Tess then proceeded to press the button and the wall on the right slide into the ground. As well as Alec's tv, Tess's bed, and nightstand, as his apartment was on the right of his. After everything slid under, a big rectangular glass table slid up. The table had a black cube with a half of a glass circle on top, that slightly resembled a disco ball.
"How did you guys get this done in the space of 9 hours?" Alec asked
"We have a crack team of electricians and scientists, with some carpenters for good measure. But we need to move on, ok the box on the table is a holographic image projector." He said pressing a green button as a whole bunch of images were displayed. "The holograms only go to the edge of the table, and they follow your movements." He said as he walked around the table and the holograms faced him the entire time. "These new advantages we have now only got approved for use a week ago, and they help with debriefing and briefing. Next is the armory." He said walking back to Alec, he then pressed the button below that. The table then went away, bringing up a wall of guns hung on polls. "The guns here are state of the art, and if you need any other weapons we'll have them shipped. The guns are secured in place by special hooks, each one special for said weapon. The wall is easily moved, all you do is push it to the side like a coat rack." Tess informed Alec as he listened intently. "And now for the suit." He said once again pressing a red button below the last. When the suit came up it looked like a dusters coat with a white long sleeve button up shirt with dress pants, with a fedora on top."This is the last thing I have to show you. Due to your size you may not look like an adult, use this to your advantage, stab them in the back while they ignore you or laugh in your face. The suits duster coat holds all the technology. While wearing it your virtually invincible. The fedora isn't just for looks it shrouds your face, making you unidentifiable. Other than that there's nothing but a regular shirt and pants." Tess explained
"So when am I gonna learn how to use it?" Alec asked
"Now." He said grabbing the fedora and putting it on his head.
"Ok give me a minute to get it on." Alec said as he walked to the bathroom and closed the door. He came out a minute later with the entire suit fully on, the only thing that confused Tess is his eyes showed.
"Hmm must be a bug." Tess said
"What?" Alec asked
"Your eyes are showing." He said
"Actually I like it like that." Alec informed, as he walked toward Tess. "Where are we gonna go to test this?" Alec asked
"We're testing it by putting it into action so."
"What!? I think I need to know how to use it before I use it on a mission!" Alec said
"All you need to know when using it is that you use your mind to control it, plus know it has limits it can really only make you stronger or make you fly." Tess said which only irritated Alec.
"Fine." He said angrily, Tess then pressed the first red button again and the table came up once more.
"Computer, any unread mission specs." Tess asked the hologram
"Wait, it's voice activated?" Alec asked
"Oh yeah I forgot to mention that?" Tess asked
"Yes you did." Alec said
"Oh." Tess said
"One new operation available." The computer said in a monotonous woman's voice.
"Brief me." Tess said leaning against the wall.
" Aiden pries, responsible for hundreds of deaths, over the distribution of drugs in California. Aiden is known for his unreasonable killings and destructive behavior." The computer informed
"Hey I guess you aren't going out of state." Tess said
"I'll give you directions through this earpiece, there is also a camera in it to make it easier to do so. I'm sure your already familiar with it." Tess informed handing him the earpiece. Alec put it in as Tess asked, "now pick your weapons and head out." After he said this he immediately hit the second red button and the weapons came back up. Alec chose the m1911 and the mp5 as he didn't feel like using very heavy weapons, he also grabbed a silencer for the pistol hoping for the silent approach.
No words were said as Alec walked out the door and tried figuring out how to work the suit. 'Hmm he said use my mind so.' He thought as he imagined himself with a bubble around him slowly floating upwards, when he opened his eyes he was floating upwards. He then smiled and flew off, as he was getting the hang of it easily with his hands at his sides and straight as a board. Upon flying for a moment he stopped and put two fingers up to his ear to activate the communication feature. "Tess directions?" He asked
"Head for the coast he's in a three story beach house. Don't be fooled by its fancy appearance there are two more levels below the house where the drugs are produced." Tess called back. Alec then headed west to the coast he wasn't sure he'd be able to spot the house when upon arriving a three story house stuck out like a sore thumb.
"Any undetectable entrances?" Alec asked pressing his finger to his ear once more.
"There should be a small window that's at the top of the house, there you can squeeze through and clear the place from the top to the bottom, no survivors understood?" Tess informed
"Understood." He said as he flew towards the roof. Upon inspection of the roof he found the window and went up to it, it was a octagon in shape and small, but small enough to fit his head through and sure enough his entire body. When had entered the attic it was surprisingly clean, but dark. He walked to the entrance of the attic which was a latter down to the third floor, while twisting the silencer on in the process. He peered down to see a guard walk up and look directly at him, he was about to attack him when he showed no surprise, and continued to turn around and walk away . 'Must be too dark to see me' he thought to himself as he quietly jumped down and walked silently behind him. Then in one fluid motion he lifted the pistol and pulled the trigger, and the man fell, before he hit the ground. Alec caught him and carried him back to the attic as fast as he could trying not to get the floor too stained. When he came back down he looked at the carpet to see that the crimson red colored carpet was a mistake on their end, a fatal one, as it hid the blood stain perfectly. He then proceeded down the hallway and ignored the stairs as he needed to sweep the entire floor. He opened the first door on his left a crack to see that two wolves and three deer were sitting around a black jack table and one was dealing. Smoke and laughter filled the room as half of them had cigarettes and were enjoying the free time obviously stressed, Alec had a plan. He wasted no time in opening the door fully and walking in as they all stopped to look at him.
"Who the hell are you?" One asked in a gruff voice
"I'm one of Aiden's dealers." He said thinking he could fit the bill
"Your just a kid!" Another exclaimed turning his chair to face him.
"Would the cops suspect anything? Think about it" he said trying to trick them which he was a master of deceit. Not wanting to question Aidens judgement they quickly exclaimed his genius.
"What will he think of next"
"Genius!"
"Who would have thunk it!" After these statements he only proved the strangle hold Aiden has on them. But Alec's plan needed them to help him.
"Would you mind taking me to Aiden I'm afraid I'm lost?" At this they groaned and one quickly said
"Jaycee it's your turn." Said one of them to a wolf in his mid-twenties, his pink fur brightening as he stood.
"Shut up Buck I know" he said to the deer. "Follow me kid." Jaycee said and Alec obeyed. He followed him down the many stairs that led to the second basement. Jaycee got Alec through guard after guard as he finally turned one final corner and they went down a hall that branched out of the square basement. Two guards stood watch over the extremely expensive looking door at the end. "He's right through there." Jaycee said and Alec walked up to the two guards and they blocked his path.
"I have business with Aiden" Alec said as he tried to pass again and they reluctantly stepped out of the way. He entered Aidens office to find Aiden, a cheetah in a red button up t-shirt, sitting and looking at a paper that was making him frown. Alec shut the door and alerted Aiden, he looked up.
"Who are you?" He asked with a little venom
"No one important" said Alec, walking up to his desk and sitting down across from him.
"Why are you here?" He asked squinting
"To end your life." Alec said lifting the pistol and pressing it against his head.
"You don't know what your doing kid." He said getting angry
"You think this is my first time?" Alec asked cocking the hammer.
"You'll never get out alive." Aiden said
"Wanna bet?" Alec said, but not letting him answer he pulled the trigger and he killed him silently, the only thing heard was the sound of his brain matter hitting the wall behind.
After the confrontation with Aiden was done he twisted off the silencer and twisted it on his mp5. He then walked to the door and opened it quickly shooting the guard on the right then turning to the guard on the left and shooting him too as he was dazed when the door hit him in the face and had no time to react. He walked down the hall and looked left then right. He decided to go right as he came from the left and there wasn't much there. When he made his way right it immediately cornered left, so he peeked around the corner and saw two more guards standing at a double door. 'Must be the production area.' Alec wasted no time and jumped out from the corner and shot the two guards trying not to waste to many bullets as his mp5 was on automatic. He decided to end the silence and just kicked open one of the two doors. When he walked through the door he saw women and children making the drugs. There were six men standing around the ten rows of tables, when Alec recovered from the shock of seeing women and children he opened fire on the six men. He made short bursts of his rifle to make sure he didn't hit the workers. The workers immediately went under the table and hid some of the women screamed as the children just quivered in fear. Alec upturned an empty table as the last three opened fire on his position. When he heard their guns click he went back up and finished them off. As the chaos ended, and the adrenaline left his body he radioed back to Tess "Tess do you see what I see?" He asked, releasing his fingers from his ear.
"No survivors." Tess radioed back, making Alec widen his eyes.
"B-but there are women and children here!" he said
"No exceptions" Tess said sternly
"No sir" he growled ripping out his earpiece and smashing it on the floor. 'I'd rather die than hurt the innocent!'
