(Was hoping for a week)

(Up to Equi really he has stuff planned)

(One Week it is)

It's been a week and Jason and Andy have gone quiet. Unlike last time, Jason still pops in from time to time to say Hi to Kim and Andy calls Skyla on a private line so there are no long distance charges. However, their plans? Have been very secretive.

Even the woman who seems to know everything, doesn't know what's going on. Sapphire has been dumbfounded, only able to maintain her cover for now. Something is telling her that something is big is going to happen and happen soon.

The deception of Andy was spearheaded by a woman who was only known as Set. Well, they all assume it's a woman. Only the higher ups have seen the person known as Set. It's an incredibly accurate and well researched performance. The signal comes from Japan if traced.

"It is concerningly quiet, isn't it?" Kenny asked Brett as both sat in his office quiet.

Rose was busy. Slipping trackers one day, staring at her screen at the next. Each fed was meticulously detailed, from the path they took to even what they ordered at the cafe. Nothing was left out. Frowning in her new apartment, she leaned back on her couch, wondering what else she could do, without getting guns involved.

The guard shrugged. The door near him opened a moment later. "Yeah I'll tell her the good news real quick, see you in a few." Came the familiar voice of Hathor, not Sekhmet. Over the week it became clear the difference between Hathor and Sekhmet. They talked, and even sounded, different from each other. Hathor was kind, caring and condescending to a fault. She referred to her boss as Maahes, and her voice was higher pitched. You could practically hear the smile on her face. Sekhmet on the other hand was aggressive, slightly lower pitched and less than kind. She referred to Maahes as "The boss" most of the time and it was obvious now that Sekhmet was who broke into Andy's house prior, hiding her face away and pretending to be something she wasn't. Hathor stepped inside and waved at Skyla. "How's our favorite, and only," she mumbled the last part in a joking lower pitch that resembled Sekhmet's, "prisoner?" She asked with a smile.

"It is." Brett replied, thinking.

"Any luck with your people?" Kenny asked.

"Nothing useful. What about the rest of the council?" Brett asked.

"I heard one of them has some results, but nothing concrete yet. I'm waiting for a report back from him." Kenny replied. "We're still in a safe situation right now. Nothing points to the location of our base, none of our men have been captured, staying quiet and gathering info is the best option for sure."

"Yeah, I've only got my best on the streets. I don't want to risk it." Brett agreed.

"Oh good, I hope Babi here hasn't been too mean." She patted the scarf headed man on the head with a smile, obviously joking. She walked over near Skyla's cell after getting no response from Babi as always. "Anything you need right now?"

"Oh, well let's see..." Hathor thought for a minute. "That Carpinello guy still hasn't done anything crazy yet, even though we're all expecting him to. Tornado alley got hit by another tornado. Some guy named uh, Nevilman or something I dunno, he was arrested yesterday for drug possession. Uh, nothing really important I guess. And I don't know why you're here other than the fact that our boss doesn't really like you or Andy. Well, he doesn't like a lot of people, but you two especially. I think he's kinda jealous, but don't tell him I said that."

"Maybe, he's not here right now anyway. I think he might be waiting for a chance to kidnap Andy first, and talk to both of you. It's more romantic that way." Hathor replied, giggling to herself afterward.

After some less business-oriented conversation, Brett headed out to do some work. Kenny, in the meantime, uncovered the folder he had hidden under some papers on his desk. Someone on the council was hiding something, and he needed to figure out who. He didn't think anyone was working with Carpinello, but the fact that so many groups could be working across the city, and none of them were bringing back results? It didn't make sense.

"Well, Maahes has a bit of a temper, so Andy might not make it here alive then. Hm, that's disappointing, it'd be so much better if you two were together." Hathor seemed somewhat disappointed by this. "Maybe Khonsu or whoever catches him will beat that thick head into something more malleable, hm? Make him a better potential husband or something. That'd be great."

“Does...Andy even know I’m missing?” Skyla dared to ask.

Tyler sighed. “Alright, I’ll close up early today.”
