???: Okay, I'm in. Im going across the rafters now.

A small voice was speaking through a radio quietly as he crawled through the rafters of the massive Warehouse of Reverb. He came upon a section where he could easily hide out of sight and not be spotted.

???: Okay, Trident. I'm in position.

Anthony: No need to call me Trident, kid. Just Anthony will do.

???: Will do. So why exactly am I doing this again?

Anthony: You need to watch the inkling with the dark blue and black hair. Something's off about him, Jahshua, and you need to find out what that is.

Jahshua: I'm on the case! Can we pull a couple pranks at all? Maybe disorient them?

Anthony: No offense, but your pranks will only get you killed.

Jahshua: Oh so this is a 'dangerous' stealth mission? Okay!

Anthony: Shh! Here they come!

Jahshua gets into position and turns on a recording device and hangs it just over the edge so it looked like a normal camera in the facility. He was holding onto a screen that could see everything that was going on, and was also projecting it to Anthony, who wasn't in the area, but was close enough just in case things got dicey.
He looked down to see that Wren was in view with Torque and Dia not far from him. Wren started opening a small door, letting six men in black suits carrying three boxes in total.

Jahshua: What are you up to?

He then sees Meggy walk up beside Dia.

Jahshua: What!? Meggy!?

Meggy heard her name and looked around, but Jahshua hid himself from view. His eyes were wide in fear.

Anthony: What the!? Is that-?

Jahshua: That's flipping Meggy, Anthony!

Anthony: I thought that was just a newer teammate! I...How did I not know that was her?

Jahshua: She looks so much different now...And why is she here?

Anthony: I...I don't know. Do you know if your brother knows about this?

Jahshua: No idea.

Jahshua listens carefully to their conversations with the strange men in black standing before them. They looked to be FBI of sorts judging by their clothing and stature.
They set down the boxes and then he watched as Wren handed one of the men a briefcase. The person opened it in the perfect view for Jahshua to see, but not the camera. It was a box filled to the brim with stacks of cash, and judging from the size of the box, there was at least a half million dollars in the case.

Jahshua: Woah...

Anthony: What do you see, Jahshua?

Jahshua: This man got stacks of cash...

Anthony: What's in the boxes?

Jahshua: I don't know yet. I'm waiting for them to open one. But one of them has some weird symbol on it.

Anthony: What is it?

Jahshua: It's a squid with guns arranged in an X pattern. Maybe AKs?

Wren: It's amazing that you were able to get these boxes here on time, boys.

???: You paid, and we deliver. It's that simple.

Wren: Now that that's out of the way...Let's get you suited up, M.

Meggy: *to self* Please stop calling me that.

Wren: What was that?

Meggy: Um, I like it when you call me that.
