Nezha didn't leave his office due to being so busy with keeping track of so many other crimes that went on elsewhere. So he had three other agents go along with Wukong to the other side of the city to be of help to stop the crime that he heard early on.

The mob was going to try to take a train. Either that or take hostages.

"Agent Kong, you are now ready for departure." Came a voice over the radio, Kong had been his agent name. Corny as it sounded, when Nezha had asked him what he wanted it to be. He mentioned it would be in some part of his name, so it wouldn't give him completely away.

Or so he thought.

"Yup! Ready as I'll ever be!"

Wukong replied into the speaker of the device given to him. It was placed in his right ear.

"Remember to keep this line of work professional. Am I clear-?" Asked one of the head directors, making Wukong do hand gestures of mimicking, while everything went quiet afterward.

"Yes sir! I'll do my best!"

"And Kong?"

"Yes?"

"I can see you."

The radio from the other end clicked offline and went into static. Causing the two other agents to start snickering in the back. Hearing everything. "You really do know how to piss her off." Said Ali, a woman with dark brown hair. She happened to be in her early thirties."The director really knows how to pick his women." Replied Bartholomew, an older gentleman with black hair, said. The other agent happened to be Ao Lee. Silence came from him in response.

Like it always would.

"Is he always this quiet?" Asked Barth, looking at the other at the wheel. Wukong shrugged, looked into the rearview mirror and replied with 'I dunno' to him with his shoulders. Starting up the van and beginning to drive away from the curb of the parking garage of the agency's building.

Groaning under my breath silently after I hear the news from Nika. Saying how that one specific agent was mocking her over the radio. She could see him through the vehicle camera that was placed. I rub my eyes and glance at her from across where I sat. "I swear, he's doing it because he feels threatened by how beautiful you are." I said toward her, and I swore her face lit up quite a bit. "Like he would find anything of interest in a woman like me-" Her reply came, I was merely more focused on my work during the hours that I manage to do.

There isn't time for pleasantries. I told myself in my head, watching her walk back and forth near the window and she was going on and on about how crime has been getting much worse. She even stated that- what would have happened if I took in a criminal?

Wukong? A criminal? Surely I was aware that he came directly on time to each meeting, and before he joined our agency he came uncalled for when we were trying to stop Spider Queen and her henchmen those three years prior. Surprising as that may sound. I knew Wukong was keeping a few things from me. Things that happened to him as a child. I wasn't sure what those things were.

All I remember hearing him say was the words 'I'm an orphan' directly to me after I asked him why he came to those innocent civilian's rescue. Luring a very dangerous criminal away just so Ao Lee could get to them without being spotted.
