"Sho, why do we have to leave so early?" Leo complained "will it hurt if we, you know, take a nice nap, have a nice breakfast, and then leave?" Leo's stomach grumbled, Sho was sitting on the passenger seat of the car, and Neab was in the back seat, they both looked at Leo in unison. "Hehe, ignore that".

"I packed some sandwiches if you want?" Neab said 

"Wait, really?" Leo almost stopped the car to look back but decided not to, because he knew he would get screwed by Sho if he stopped the car. Instead, he looked from the rearview mirror and spoke to Neab. "Do you know how to cook?" 

"Yeah, I've been living on my own for probably 10 or 12 years, I've picked up some recipes," Neab said as he handed a sandwich to the driver. 

" Hallelujah, this is so good, this is way better than the burnt toast Sho makes" 

Sho was taken aback and then looked at Neab to see his reaction, the scientist was trying hard not to laugh and adjusted his glasses. Sho didn't like to be teased; he punched Leo's stomach playfully. 

*Cough cough* Leo almost choked, Neab's quick reflex grabbed a water bottle and handed it to him, which Leo thankfully took and calmed down. "I am gonna die soon if I don't shut my mouth" 

"I'm glad you understood that," Sho said.

It was a surprise for Neab, he didn't know agent Sho can be playful. Well, even Sho didn't know he could be friendly, but something about the environment around Leo made him like that, and also he does not want to lose his face in front of Neab. He knew he was gradually lowering his guard, he knew it was bad, but he stayed an emotionless person for years, he knew he can trust Leo and Neab, so it wouldn't hurt to be casual just a bit. Right? 

An hour later, they reached their destination. The sun was up and the three men stepped out and walked towards the garage located in the middle of nowhere. 

"Dr. Carter? Do you have the key that came in your package" Sho asked 

"Oh, yes, here it is" Neab took a weird-looking key from his front pocket and gave it to Sho "I, don't know what that is for though" 

"This," Sho showed the key to the two of them, it had the logo of the agency carved on the bow and had two blades and no cuts. " Is for everything, it's the Master key provided by the headquarters, logically it should have been given to me or Leo because I am the leader of this team and Leo is going to be the one taking us to different places, but since it is given to you, you are responsible for it and that also means you will have to always stay close to us." Sho nodded questioningly and Neab nodded in acknowledgment. 

Sho inserted the key in the slot wedged on the wall, the gate opened and revealed a huge gray color Jet with their agency's logo painted in white on it. Sho stepped in as if he was here before, and Leo dropped the bags in his hand. He was completely dumbfounded and looked like he had an orgasm only by looking at the aircraft. Sho returned the key to Neab and he clasped it in the chain in his neck. 

"Now do you understand there are better beauties out there other than your rust bucket you call your princess" Sho said to the shaken Leo.

"Yes... Yes, brother... Now, this is my new Princess, no this is my Queen." 

They climbed in, there was a hummer and Mercedes Benz sports car. The seats were on the sides and in the middle there was a huge Volvo bus, Leo decided to check out the cockpit first, Sho climbed onto the hummer and took a seat, he somehow knew that they were going to move around a lot in that vehicle. Neab went straight to the bus and was not disappointed with what he saw, it was a complete equipped laboratory.
