Jayden spends more time in the barn. He was really working on something. Like Alex's suspicions and what Tiger conveyed, he was indeed preparing to face a new criminal. In the neighboring country, Ayalas, there has just been chaos. Some criminals carry out mass shootings at supermarkets. A few hours later. There was another shooting at the Gura border. At the same time as this shooting, there was another incident in Romitia that had a border area with the country where they are currently.
Similar cases, same time. Nadira believes the culprit is the same. Since the last time Alex handled the case, Jayden himself felt confident that the popularity of Zetta Sonic among criminals has increased many times. The criminals will figure out a way to finish off Zetta Sonic. In this case, including destroying everyone involved, including Jayden and the rest of the Special Force.
Before things got worse, Nadira ordered Jayden to make additional equipment for the Zetta Sonic. Something that is effective against enemies in large numbers. Alex thought that Jayden was making weapons for him, in fact this young man had other thoughts. He's making Alex a shield.
According to Jayden, Alex needs to protect himself before he can fight the enemy. That's the basic thing. Emil agreed too. So, the two began to think of anything to make the shield.
Since the Zetta Sonic fight and the killer robot on a freighter, Nadira also opens up opportunities for ordinary agents to help the Special Force. This gives the Special Force an advantage. That is, Jayden and Emil can ask for help from anyone who feels the need outside the Special Force. All this time, there were only five of them.
Tiger is like any other field agent, technology is not his forte. Professor Otto later withdrew. He handed over all of Zetta Sonic's equipment development to Jayden. This made the young man look for an assistant who was more suitable for him than the professor even though the professor who first lost the assistant. Lastly, there's Dr. Vanessa. Jayden only had Emil to help him.
With the opportunity to open up to the ICPA, Jayden could not only ask for help from other agents. He can also ask for tools and materials when needed. It's much more practical than asking everything from Nadira. As the head of the ICPA at the continental level, Nadira is extraordinarily busy. It is not uncommon for the materials and equipment needed to arrive late. Eventually, the development of the Zetta Sonic gear was delayed. Now, not anymore.
From the side of the ICPA itself, there are problems that occur due to these changes. It is no secret that the people who are members of the Special Force are the people of choice. Not only will they get higher wages, but the facilities will also have a more secure future. This makes Jayden and Emil who used to be avoided now even sought. The agents tried to get close so they could be recruited.
Jayden. Emil is even better. He was used to ignoring all the words people said to him. Usually, it's about insults or stale jokes. Apparently, Emil also easily ignored all the praise. Some agents who try to curry favor with him will only run into a dead end. Emil is no different than winter.
Alex understands this. He did not try to get close to Emil. He just needs Jayden. Whether Emil helps her a lot or she becomes Zetta Sonic's second operator, Alex is not so dizzy. Jayden could be the mediator for Alex and Emil. But that's not the main problem.
“So,” said Emil while bringing coffee for his senior, “what will we do with that gun?”
“Which gun?”
“Lasers. You plan to replace the Zetta Sonic gun as well, ‘kan?”
“Eh, yes and no. I don't know yet. But, I open with any option.”
“Anything.” Emil repeated Jayden's words. That'sallthatis. Next, he said nothing and walked out of the room. Not until closing the door, Emil entered again. “By the way, Alex has arrived.”
“OK, okay.”
Jayden has to be honest if he's reluctant to leave the room. Actually, he had not been there for half an hour. After helping Alex down an underground sewer aka a giant sewer, he took the time to return to the warehouse for a while. Too many ideas, too little time. Jayden wasn't even sure what to do. Zetta Sonic's shield is still halfway through, he already wants to make a variety of other things.
Forget moments.
Jayden came out of the barn, got his coffee. He saw their female doctor was behind him in the drug warehouse. Ignoring him, Jayden went straight upstairs.
“Good work!” Jayden threw praise.
Alex puts his shoulders. He threw the iron-plated box at Jayden. The combat uniform felt much lighter. Sometimes Alex wondered why all the technology owned by ICPA was never opened to the public. Could it be that the ICPA had even recruited those people before they created anything. So far, Alex believes Jayden is one of the best hackers he's ever met. However, he never really how the ICPA story recruited him.
“What?” Jayden frowned. “There is a question or protest?”
Alex shakes. “Not both.” He always lies easily. “I just remembered about raisin bread and muffins.”
“I thought you'd forgotten about it.”
“They open in the morning?”
Jayden glanced at the coffee in his hand. “Ya and no.”
“What does that mean?”
“You need to go home. School. We can go there another time.” Jayden threw a small bullet-like object at him. “It was just in case. Do not use if it is not really an emergency.”
“Dan, what is this?”
“Sargam backup. Moreover?”
“I thought you'd give me the uniform that was inside the dashboard.”
“Not, it's prototype.” Jayden glanced at Tiger. As if he understood, the big man handed the bracelet to him. “This thing is different from the one in your hand. It was of the same quality as the usual combat uniform. Only, can only be used once.”
Alex looked at the thing in his hand. The shape is a tiny cylinder with a slightly tapered tip. Judging from any side, it was indeed like a bullet dyed in black paint. It is heavy and shiny under the lights. Then, another question came to his mind. “Why give me this thing?”
“I told you. Emergency condition.”
“What's it like?”
“There are annoying crooks who know-how to appear in front of your house and we did not have time to provide help.” Jayden puts on a big smile. “You're the official part of ICPA now. You're Zetta Sonic. You will never know when criminals appear and try to forcefully enter the house.”
