The workers' residences are not good. Some of the building was destroyed by the explosion. Some people were injured by the explosion. Caitlin and Tiger help the wounded.
Jayden no, he's in the car. He continued the bomb inspection and also tried to contact Nadira. The explosion closest to their position had cut off the signal around them. Not to mention that he had to remove a trace of the hack and ensure Mark Hill's safety. Above all, the biggest problem is finding where Alex is.
When he saw the black figure coming in at high speed from the rearview mirror, Jayden heaved a sigh of relief. Alex got there safely.
“Sonic!” jayden jumped down from the car.
“Blowout streak. There are seven dot-”
“Five bursting points, two safe.” Jayden can read Alex. The boy's voice was much more mature behind the Zetta Sonic costume. “How about the shareholders?” Jayden chose his words carefully.
“I saw they were at the get-together point.” Alex sees a group of men in suits at a gathering point outside the warehousing. He saw his father was also a baron there. They were waiting for the arrival of the fire department, the ambulance, and of course the police. The police would be involved in a case like this. Alex wondered what the attitude of the ICPA was.
“You're okay?” Jayden frowned when he saw an unnatural scratch on Alex's shoulder guard. That shoulder protector should be flawless smooth.
“I met Rando.”
“What? Hows it? Is she here? Don't-don't he-”
“No. She's not. He's gone now.” Alex can read Jayden's mind. “James, dia-”
“Do not say! Login to car.”
Alex according to, get in the car, sit next to Jayden. “Rando. But, I'm sure he wasn't the culprit. He said he had business with me. He also said someone put value on my head. What does it mean?”
Jayden was silent for a moment. “I'm not sure I should tell you.”
“Not a good thing, ‘kan?”
Jayden shakes. “Obviously no. But I think it can wait. We'll fix the problem here first. Five bombs exploded at five different points. Our communication is paralyzed by it. I haven't been able to reach Nadira. I think it's time to step back.”
“Wait, you want us to go from here?”
“Conditions are in chaos. This is a good time to go so as not to draw attention. We shouldn't be here, Alex. We are ICPA from different continents. Not to mention that the authorities in this area are involved. All can be more complicated.”
“But..” Alex stops.
His mind began to compile all the events from the beginning. A false SOS signal that turns out to be the location of the bomb. James died. Five bombs exploded. Innocent workers fall victim. He met a hit man.
“We can't leave here. The culprit is still hanging around.”
“We don't know who did it. We don't even know what the culprit is indeed here not just monitoring from afar.”
“You saw that guy named Baron? He was not at all afraid of the explosion. He even smiled at me earlier. As if ... As if she was already looking forward to it.”
“Hey, that doesn't mean he did it. Even if he did, we have no proof. You can't possibly arrest him on charges without evidence, ‘kan?”
Jayden took a short breath. “What's your plan?”
“Can we hang in here until those people go to a safe place?”
Jayden rubbed his chin. “Negative. Too risky. Once the police and outsiders come, it'll be hard for us to get out of here. If caught running away, we might even be mistaken as the perpetrators of the bombing.” Jayden took a deep breath before continuing to talk about an idea he didn't like. “Although so, you can still be here. Alone, without us.”
“You mean?”
Jayden rubbed his forehead. “Jeez, I won't like this idea.”
“Jayden. Please.” Alex's voice softened.
“Listen, there are some special features in your uniform. Some new prototyping features so we don't know if it's going well or not. One of them is Stealth Mode.”
“This uniform can make me disappear?” guess Alex.
“Not completely disappeared. In essence, they can record the surrounding conditions and reflect them on your uniform. Avoid places with lots of things and people. Disappearing does not mean being impenetrable. You are still a solid thing. I'm also not sure camouflage will go well in crowded places. Do you understand what I mean? As much as possible, hide in an empty or dark place.”
Alex nodded. He immediately turned around to open the door.
Jayden held his hand. “Wait! I'm not done yet. Tiger, Caitlin, and I need to get out of here before any outsiders come. Communication is being cut off. ICPA has its own path. The connection should be repaired soon. But, there will still be a time lag where I can't keep an eye on you.”
“I'm alone.” Alex understands this.
“We don't know if there are any Rando or other hit men around here. I'm starting to regret giving that idea to me.” Jayden nodded again.
“I'll take care of myself. Don't worry.”
“You are the only Zetta Sonic that ICPA currently has. There will be big trouble if the enemy catches you or the Regis branch ICPA finds you. Nadira will say so,” said Jayden. “If I were, I would just say. Don't make trouble!”
Alex smiled even though he knew Jayden couldn't see him. “Do not worry.” Alex repeated his words. “I also don't want to die.”
“One more. Bring this!”
Jayden hands Alex a tiny drone. In inactive conditions, the drone is like a bulging disc in its center. His six feet were firmly attached to the body. The top is rounded with a 360-degree camera that can monitor the surroundings. The edge is equipped with sensors. The bottom holds a replaceable weapon. Jayden tuned a laser gun on him right now.
“Save your hands!” pinta Jayden's.
Jayden opens Flipad. Zet-Arm in Alex's hands shimmered. Transparent green screens appeared floating in the air. Jayden installed a new feature on Zet-Arm. Not for a minute, the screens disappeared. Alex re-examined the white bracelet in his hand as well as checked the Dragon Blood energy indicator. There are eighty percent more. He should be fine. As long as nothing unexpected happens again.
“Now, you have full control of this drone,” Jayden said. “Jaga well my little toy. Don't get broken!”
Alex nodded. “When we return later, Jayden, we must give a name to each of your advanced tools.”
