                            Miss Reynolds entered the room they had prepared for her with the hidden cameras and scanners to make sure they knew exactly what she was doing. They had done this with all the possible suspects but it was her that Mayne had seen. Miss Reynolds was not aware of what was going on, she was just nervous that something important had been learned by the very people that she knew needed to be kept clueless. Mayne groaned in annoyance "How long until she does something?" In response Rime shrugged. Miss Reynolds paced for a few moments longer then pulled a comm she had hidden in her boot and dialed. Ethan quickly checked the scanners; pulling up the information on the screens. Mayne watched as the computers identified who Miss Reynolds contacted. "Vivian?" She gasped "but Miss Reynolds was so sweet and helpful during the aftermath."


                          "It doesn't make sense, why would the person in charge of VARE try and contact a mole, the agency is being so closely watched, to contact anyone close to the V.P. would be such a huge red flag." He laughed "It's not worth it... not with what they have planned for the long run." Ardor puzzled "I can't help but wonder why the mole would have Vivian's number so clearly listed amongst her contacts; it's just as stupid."


                       "Who said criminals were anything but stupid." Ethan Smirked at Ardor, Mayne laughed.


                        "It is stupid of Vivian... and Miss Reynolds," He smirked "Unless neither of them are in charge." Rime quipped, half joking.


                       "The voice I heard; the one that sounded familiar... it wasn't either of theirs." She looked at the faces in the room that were now staring at her and wondering if she knew something else or if the visions would speak up now. "I am certain that it did not belong to Vivian or Miss Reynolds."


                       Ethan turned to her "Are you sure?"


                       "Yes" Mayne was confused "Their voices don't match."


                     "So, we have a new player in this..." Ethan leaned back in the chair "how do we coax them out of hiding?"


                     "Something doesn't make sense, " Mayne was confused "nothing tells me the name or gender, but I just know the gender is female," she started to pace "the voice is more confusing about that... Every time I ask it shows me Vivian but says it's not her." She rubbed her temples trying to focus "the voice was familiar, but with all the voices that I am listening to lately" she took a breath to calm down "It is not one I have heard yet," she let out an exasperated sigh "the visions just keep showing Vivian Black."


                        Then it happened Vivian's voice changed, it slowly became more gruff, what others call sultry and low. "I have warned you," she started.


                       "Wait" All eyes went to Mayne as she stepped back, her eyes went wide, and the vision kicked in a memory as she listened to the voice. "I've heard this voice before; It was days before the attack, dad was asked to keep an eye on a couple of maintenance workers that had arrived to check on one of the shield generators. They had been at Metro City weeks prior to check on one of the other generators. It was nothing major, just routine checks to make sure every single piece of the generators was working like it was supposed to. There was nothing unusual about the whole thing," nothing that Mayne could remember.
