Pitch's POV
I'm at the hardware store. I'm looking for batteries and other things. I'm looking at metal wires but there's so many and Pyro didn't specify which ones she needed. In my isle there's an older man with what seems to be his daughter. She looks about nineteen or twenty. "Can you go fetch me some wire for the fence?" Her father asked. She walked over and grabbed a sliver roll of wire and walked off. Her father walked away to take a phone call. "How did you know what wire to take?" I asked. She stared at me for a second. "Um..." she mumbled something. She seems shy. She's a short blonde with green eyes and her hair is covering part of her face. She walked up to me. "I work here so I know things" she shrugged. "That makes more sense" I said. "What are you looking for?" She asked. "Uh..." I struggled to find the words. "Do you have a picture?" She asked. I handed her my phone. "Woah! That's a really complex system of wires" she admired it. "Yeah I know" I said. She seemed star struck. Like she saw the best thing in the world. "My friend has to fix it" I lied. "Those are steel wires in this photo but those are more likely to cause damage with this specific system. Copper is gonna be better for you" she said, handing me the phone. I grabbed the copper wire. "Thank you" I said. She smiled. "Shelby! Come on, we're gonna be late" her dad said. She waved bye and walked away. I really hope this is what Pyro wants.
"Copper?" Harper asked confused. "Pyro didn't specify" I said. "Lets hope she wants copper" she shrugged. She walked into her room. "So why did you get copper?" Hazel asked. "A worker at the store helped me" I said. Hazel raised an eyebrow. "I never said we were making a bomb" I said. "Lets hope she's not smart. One wrong move and we're dead" Hazel said. I looked away from her and walked to the kitchen. "You didn't give her a clue did you?" Hazel asked following me. I didn't look her in the eye. I got a cup of water. "Nope" I said not making eye contact. "Pitch!" She slapped my arm. The water went up my nose from the slap. "Calm down" I said wiping my nose. "Are you insane! If she figures it out than we're all gonna be dead or in prison or both!" She freaked out. I threw the water at her and she shut up. "Calm down. She wont say anything. She's shy and there's no way she's gonna find out" I said. She wiped the water off her face. "She better not" Hazel snapped.
"Ok so we have a problem" Harper said walking into Hazel and I's room. "What?" Hazel asked. "Pyro cant make the bomb" she said. "Why?" I asked. "Because she's still dizzy from what happened last week and everything she sees is blurry" she said. "So what do we do?" Hazel asked. "We need that bomb" I said. "I know but unless we find someone who can build a bomb than we're stuck" Harper said. I looked at Hazel. "Why are you looking at m- ... no" she pointed at me. "She can do it!" I said. "No! You don't know if you can trust her" she said. "Who?" Harper asked. "I met a girl at the hardware store. I think she can help" I said. "You trust this girl?" Harper asked. "Shelby's harmless" I shrugged. "Be careful Pitch" Harper said.
Harpers POV
I'm at the gym. It sucks that Pyro cant join me yet. She's not feeling the best. I walked past a training room and saw two girls fighting. I recognized one of them. I stopped to watch. Its Casey. The shorter blonde girl slammed Casey into the ground. "Damn Casey, you let her kick your ass like that?" I asked. The short blonde stood up quickly, looking red. She shied away. Casey stood up. "Its ok Shelby. This is my friend from work. Remember I told you about Harper?" Casey asked. Shelby waved at me. "What's up Harper?" Casey asked me. "You're a weakling compared to her" I said. "Well I have to cut some slack to my girl" she said. "She's your girlfriend?" I asked. She nodded. Shelby walked up to her, grabbed her arm, spun her around and held her down at an angle. "Slack?" Shelby asked. "Ow! No, no slack. You're strong. I'm sorry. Please let go" Casey whined. Shelby let go and Casey fell. Casey stood up and put her arm around Shelby. I looked at them and thought for a moment. "You met my friend the other day right? At the hardware store?" I asked. "The tall girl with the copper wires?" She asked. I nodded. "What about her?" She asked. Casey raised an eyebrow at me. "I think we should talk in private" I said. Shelby gripped Casey's arm. "Both of you" I said. Casey nodded and we walked off.
I let Casey explain to Shelby so it wouldn't be awkward. We're at my apartment. They walked in after about ten minutes. "You guys ok?" I asked. "Yeah" Casey said. "So why do you need my help?" Shelby asked. I looked at Pitch and Hazel. Pitch walked up and put a box on the counter. "We need you to build a bomb" Pitch said. Shelby looked shocked. "Go ahead" I said gesturing to the box. She looked into the box. Her face lit up. "Can you do it?" Hazel asked. "Yes" Shelby said. "Shelby Cooper, you are Agent 2 of The Techno Bandits" I said. Casey hugged her. "Welcome to the club" Casey said. Shelby laughed.
Pyros POV
I finally was able to move. I slowly made my way to the living room. "Hi" I said. Harper came over to me. "Pyro, meet Shelby. She's gonna build the bomb since you cant" she said. "You replaced me?" I asked Harper. "No Pyro. You're irreplaceable. Plus, its just until you feel better" she said. I put my head in her chest. "Ok" I said.
