Harpers POV
"What's your idea?" Pitch asked. "My coworker Casey is really good at hacking. She could get us that camera footage" I said. They looked at me like I was crazy. "Think about it. There's four of us against thousands of them. They have an entire organization. What do we have?" I asked. "So you want to make her a bandit?" Hazel asked. "No. We will forever be the Techno Bandits. I think that we should recruit some people we trust to help us when we need them. They don't have to be Bandits. They're just gonna be there if we need them" I said. "And you trust Casey?" Pitch asked. "Yes" I nodded. They looked at each other and then me. "Ok" they agreed.
Casey and I have night shift today because the normal employees got sick. We're in the break room when a loud crash came from inside the store. Casey jumped and turned off the lights. I stood up and opened the door. "What are you doing?!" She whisper yelled. I turned on the lights and my girls were behind me. Casey took a step back. "Who are they?" She asked. "We need your help" I said. "Who are you?" She asked shaking. I reached my hand out to her. "Its ok Casey. We won't hurt you but we need your help" I repeated. She took my hand. "Who is we?" She asked stepping closer. "Casey, meet the Techno Bandits" I said. Her jaw dropped. She started shaking again. "Why do you need me!?" She shrieked. "Because our hacker betrayed us and we need the security cameras of the city" Pitch said. "What makes you think I'll help you? You're criminals" she said. "Not anymore. Let me explain" I said. She was hesitant but listened.
"Wow, ok um..." Casey stuttered. "Please Casey. We need help" I said. "But what if I get hurt?" She asked. "You wont. No one will know about you. We will protect you but you cant tell anyone about this" I said. "Ok, Ill do it" she agreed. I smiled. "Casey Rogers, you are Agent 1 of The Techno Bandits" I said. She smiled. "So, lets get to work" Hazel said.
"Ok this is the west side of town and this is the east. The alleyway you're looking at is here in the northeast quadrant" Casey said. "If there are other cars placed in a puzzle, then the next one should be at the opposite quadrant. Right?" Hazel asked. "Lets see, in the southwest quadrant, if we flip the numbers than we get... huh that's odd" Casey said. "What's odd?" I asked. "That's the same car" Casey said. "What?" I asked. "Its the same plate number" Casey said. "That's a tactic Michael uses. Its to confuse cops" Pitch said. "Can you track any other cars from there?" I asked. "Yes, this one will lead to the others, just give me a moment" she said. I looked over at Pyro. She's sitting in my chair faced away. I walked to her. "Are you ok?" I asked. "You never said you worked with a cute girl" she huffed. I laughed. "Are you jealous?" I asked. She glared at me. "Pyro she has a girlfriend" I said. "I still don't like it when she's near you" she said. I took her hand and pulled her to join the group. I squeezed her hand as Casey found all the cars.
"Ok that's all of them" Casey said. "Fourteen vehicles and counting" Pitch said. "Wait, this ones moving" Casey said, clicking the camera. "Follow it" I said. We followed the car on the cameras. What we saw was something that you'd only see in a movie. The car drove straight into the ocean. It didn't sink though. It transformed into a boat which then closed the top and went under the water. "Please tell me I'm not seeing things again" Pyro said. "No, we saw it" Hazel confirmed. "How?" I asked, shocked. "There's no way my dad did that" Pyro said. "Pyros right, the only person that could create something like that is... dead" Pitch said. Hazel slowly peaked her head up. "What if she isn't?" She asked. "What?" We all said. "Griffin is stronger than all of us combined. She could have survived" Hazel suggested. "She's gone, Hazel. There's no way" I said. "Well-" Pyro said. We all slowly turned to her. "She may have been able to get out. It all sets on when the last opening closed. It is possible that she's alive" Pyro said. "If Griffins alive than we're in for shit" Pitch said. "Girls" Casey said. We looked over and another car was moving. Its going to a building. "What is that?" I asked. "That's the MESA incorporation. They make drones and other electronics" Casey said. "Why would they go there?" I asked. The man on the camera scanned his ID and went in. "Isn't that the same guy from yesterday?" Pitch asked. "Do you think he's an actor like me?" Hazel asked. "No. I think that MESA Inc, isn't what everyone thinks it is" I said. They all nodded in agreement. "Thank you for your help Casey. I cant thank you enough" I said. "Its my pleasure, but you're doing all of my work for the next week" she said. "That's... fair" I said.
