"This is all so weird, I never knew secret agents actually existed, and now I am one of them, how cool is that?" Cake said she was now out of her pink and black flashy dress and was dressed similar to Sho and Leo, that was a black t-shirt and battle green military pants with her dog tag, her hair was braided and she looked like a real badass.

"Woah Woah, hold up, you're not an agent yet, you're still a trainee. Only because Sho personally asked for you to be in our team, they agreed, so you are on probation, you're still not part of the agency. But remember we can decide to terminate you anytime if you break the rules, that includes stealing" Leo explained and swatted her hand away when he noticed she was about to steal an expensive-looking crystal that was kept by the sofa.

" Hehe, sorry I'm still not used to keeping my hands to myself, I'm so used to stealing things that I can't resist"

" Cake... " Sho called, she immediately stood up and gave him his full attention. "The main reason I wanted you on my team is because of your skills, your sneaky and fast, that also includes your pickpocketing skills, practice how much ever you want, but put back the things where it belongs to, time will come when you will be expected to go on a heist. And, we need to start training, you are good at fighting, but not good enough. I'll see you in the backyard in 10"

" Yes... Um, sir? Agent? How am I supposed to address you?"

" Just call me Sho"

" Hmph, you never let Neab address you so informally" Leo scoffed meaningfully.

" Dr. Carter never asked me how he is supposed to address me, speaking of which? Where is he?"

" In the lab, as usual. "

Sho nodded, his gaze met with Leo's and he noticed how intently Leo was looking at him, it was as though Leo was expecting to get some kind of a reaction out of Sho with the mention of Neab, but the Agent kept his face blank like always in that way no one could read his emotions. On the inside Sho was actually feeling the urge to see the scientist's face, he wanted to stare at him and make up for the days he missed. He knew he acted jealous and childish last time, he was afraid that Neab was still angry with him because of the fight they had. Sho didn't even remember what they fought about, so he definitely wasn't going to apologize,  but what he wanted to do was go meet Neab.

"Where are you going?" Leo asked,

"To the lab, to check on Dr. Carter" Sho replied

"I'm coming with you" he lead the way,

Sho wanted to smack his head and ask him to shut up and sit down, but doing that will put him at risk because he knew that Leo was on to them.

"Can I come too? I wanna see what goes on in that Lab" cake asked,

Sho just nodded and all three of them went to the garage where the Bus/Lab was parked.

"Hey, yo watcha doing" Leo entered the lab without warning.

"Hey, I sensed you coming," Neab said, sometimes that really freaks Leo out, how Neab has some kind of 7th sense and he is always aware of his surroundings, that's another reason why he was so upset when he lost the key to Cake

Sho and Cake entered one by one, and Cake was careful not to touch anything, she didn't want to upset her new teammate, and also she remembered what Sho said, when she is trying to control herself but couldn't, she can just fold her hands and keep it close to her in that way it would be easy for her, Sho was training her in every move.

"So any luck on your research" Leo said, Sho still didn't know what Neab was researching about.

"This stuff is just too scary, I mean... I was just curious at first, but now it's all... It looks like this is a whole organization working but then it also feels like there is only one person behind all this" Neab spoke while looking at the Laptop.
