<Episode 9>
Meeting With The Psychic

Sapphire City.
Sid and Nero walk through the ever crowded city, Nero searches for anything that could lead him to the psychic, while Sid –still new to the whole fugitive thing-- tries his best to remain incognito, not noticing that his actions give him away. He covers his face with a magazine.

Nero: quit that

Sid: what?

Nero: covering yourself up like that, you're causing for unwanted attention

Sid: well excuse me for not trying to be seen, Nero

Nero: the more you keep trying to hide your face from these people, the more they'll be trying to identify you

Sid: so what do you expect me to do?

Nero removes the magazine from Sid’s hands and throws it in the trash can.

Nero: act normal

Sid: you know, aside from hiding my face with that magazine, I was actually reading it

City of Aramis.
The Juggernaut truck.
Jackson and Olivier are playing cards while they wait. Anderson has set up his listening devices, now they can hear everything that goes on in that building. Higgens and Juliette are having a little spat about who is the best rock band at this day and age.

Anderson: all set

Enzo: good

Anderson: well, we should get comfortable, cause this may take a while

They remain in the truck, listening to every conversation in that building, none of it relevant to their mission. After a couple of hours, Enzo’s had all he could take from just sitting and listening to the receptionist talk to her friend on the phone about her cheating boyfriend, the increase in the Genesis financial budget, and more talks about scientists and employees. He walks out of the truck for a smoke.

Enzo: tell me when they mention anything worth it, I can't take that soap opera

Higgens: it’s actually interesting

Enzo shuts the door behind him.

Higgens: hey, those new uniforms back there, what you think?

Anderson: man! I want me some of that

Higgens: right!? Right!?

Jackson: hahahaha

Juliette: simmer down boys

Jackson: oh, please Jules, you know those uniforms got you excited too

Juliette: I never said they didn’t. I just can’t wait to test out the tech on them

She says with a grin.

Sapphire City.
City Square.

They scour the square for where the psychic may have taken residence. Sid’s phone vibrates, he checks the message, it reads; Yo, Insidious, it’s The Dragon.
