"Hey Jordan, help Griff out!" Tommy called as he was walking through the mansion and he sighed. "Victoria, what the hell are you doing?" He asked and then now, he was just barely able to see anything other than the top of her head.
"Hey Tommy." Came the muffled reply from behind a whole bunch of boxes. "I am trying to figure out why the hell Marcus Sutcliffe is watering down his shit so bad, that the cops have actually noticed." Victoria said and she was getting up slowly, and holding up a bunch of boxes that seemed to cover her head.
"Whoa. Too many boxes, my friend." Tommy replied as he was swiftly now using his abilities to take some of the weight off of her. "Are these all of Marcus's expenses and accounts?" He asked as they were walking to the office that Victoria had claimed for herself awhile back.
"Yeah." Victoria said as she was putting her load of boxes down onto the floor and she was putting one onto the desk and prying it open. "I got them the last time I was in there. I snuck into the back and found the copies that Nia had made for me." She stated as she was starting to unload the paperwork.
"You are crazy." Tommy remarked as he watched her set up the printers, the fax machines and her four computer monitors, plus her laptop. "What are you planning to do with all of this?" He asked and she was pulling up a chair quickly.
"I'm going to take down Marcus and Garrett." Victoria said simply and Tommy was now swiftly staring at her. "What is that look for, Tommy?" She asked as she was beginning to look through the paperwork quickly.
"What about Nia and Connor?" Tommy asked and Victoria glanced up at him, lifting her eyebrows. "You are going to just let them get caught up in it, as well? You're not going to lift a finger to help them or anything?" He asked and Victoria sighed, putting the papers to the side.
"I told Connor that if he wanted out, all he had to do was find one of us and ask for it. If he does ask for our help, then we will happily give it to him." Victoria leaned back in her chair. "But until then, I'm only focusing on getting Nia out and taking my brother and Marcus down." Victoria stated and Tommy shook his head.
"What is going on with you, Tori?" Tommy asked as he was pulling a chair up and swiftly he was sitting down. "We need to get Connor, Nia, and anybody else who wants to be out... We need to get them all out, we can't just pick and choose who we help." He said and Victoria looked at the computer screens.
"Connor knew what he was getting into." Victoria replied and Tommy was shaking his head. "I know that he is your best friend, Tommy and I get it. But we can't be risking our necks to help a person, who doesn't seem to want to get out." Victoria stated.
"We owe him, Victoria." Tommy pointed out and Victoria turned to look at him again. "We owe him, you said it yourself. We can't just leave him in there to die or, or to go to prison with the real criminals." He said and Victoria was shaking her head.
"I'm sorry, but I won't help somebody who doesn't want my help." Victoria said and then, Griff came bursting into the room. "Whoa. Whoa, easy there, Griff. What's wrong?" Victoria asked and Tommy stood up at the sight of his little brother, who was shaking his head.
"Bank robbery in progress at Lincoln Dominion." Victoria lifted her eyebrows. "Two drones already on the scene and it is Garrett, Maddy, Freddie and Connor." Griff said and Tommy looked at Victoria, who was glaring at him. Tommy's eyes were pleading and Victoria sighed at the look as she nodded.
"Go and get Jordan." She said and Tommy raced off down the hallway and Victoria quickly followed, catching up and overtaking him as Griff was locking down the whole house. Tommy grabbed onto Victoria's shoulder and Victoria grabbed Jordan's, as she focused and they were vibrating briefly before they dissolved into water and disappeared.
They came out in an alleyway and they could hear the drone engines flying above them. At the sight of the four masked figures, Jordan's eyes glowed and she was suddenly ripping one of the drones clean apart, with a shout of rage. "Connor, do it!" Victoria heard Garrett shouting and Victoria focused, making a nearby water main burst underneath their feet. The water burst out of the ground in a huge spout and it was aimed at the drone.
"Do it!" Victoria called out, turning her face away from the drone before it could recognize her and Connor roared as he sent a surge of electricity at the drone, which exploded from the force of the electricity.
"I've already got a car, let's go!" Tommy ordered and instead of arguing, Garrett and his crew were running after them. Jordan opened all four of the doors and they were all climbing into the seats with Garrett in the passenger seat and Victoria driving the van.
Jordan hopped into the very backseat with Maddy and Freddy, while Tommy and Connor were in the middle. "Where are we headed?" Victoria asked quietly as she was driving off before any of the drones could catch their vehicle or their descriptions.
"We need to talk to Marcus." Garrett's voice was almost a low growl of anger at whatever had happened and Victoria sighed quietly at the words, before she nodded. "How did you guys know where we were?" He asked and Victoria glanced in the rearview mirror at Tommy, who leaned back in his seat.
"Tommy's little brother is a tracker." Connor mumbled from the backseat and he looked exhausted from the surge, as Victoria pulled into Marcus's garage. Rhino held a gun up to face them and Victoria was shaking her head, before she opened the door and hopped out of the car.
