Cat and Bell walked through the village on the way to the lead. The village people were unsuspecting of their presence and went about their day. They just had to find the nearest garden house that houses this plant.
Bell looked around and saw that the village people were gathering around a building in the center of town. Considering Panama is on the verge of war, he'd think they were preparing for it. "If I owned a garden house where would I be"
Cat muttered.
Bell looked around and thought if this plant held properties that could fix the human condition then it would be in a medical store or hospital.
It was a village but he had the right idea. "This way"
Bell lead the way to the nearest store.
Considering the towns people were all gathered towards the center of town, the building would be locked up. He took her in an alleyway where they had reached a door. Bell used his lightsaber to cut the hinges off allowing the door to slightly fall until he caught it with the force. Cat held a picture of the flower and began searching the shelves. This place had a lot of medical supplies. "You search I'll keep watch"
He told her.
She did so as Bell faced the door he cut down making sure no one could hear or see the robbery they were committing.

Cat searched for ten minutes straight and was getting frustrated. "I don't know if it's here Bell and it's starting to piss me off"
"Patience"
He told her.
Cat sighed looking at the picture of the plant but something caught her eye. On top of the shelf behind a counter was the flower she was looking for. "Bell it's above you"
Cat pointed out as he turned to the shelf.

Bell climbed up a nearby ladder and saw two jars of the flowers and took both

Bell climbed up a nearby ladder and saw two jars of the flowers and took both.
Somehow it turned the water to a different coloration and knew that is us no ordinary flower.
"Progenitor. The next for human life"
Cat said holding the jar. Bell opened his bag and she placed both jars inside carefully.
"We did it"
Cat says with a smile on her lips.

They returned back to the village and made their way back the way they came until they heard vehicles approaching. Bell grabbed Cats hand and hid her in his arms behind a tarp covering them. "Those are the same trucks from the bar"
She said looking at them past the entrance. "Looks like our little massacre was noticed and lead them here"
Bell added.
"We can get through the walls that's not patrolled. This way"
Armed Men got out of the trucks and began questioning the villagers.
Bell and Cat walked to a different side of the village near a wall that wasn't defended. Bell ignited his lightsaber and began cutting the wall open enough for them to fit through. Cat stood watching for anyone coming nearby.

Bell cut through the wall using the force to hold the stone slab out of the way for Cat to slide out. Bell handed the bag to Cat as she stepped on the outside of the wall. Bell crawled through and used the force to put the stone slab back into place. Together they ran through the force unnoticed.

Catching their breath, Bell smirked as Cat smashed her lips against his. "I can't believe how easy that was"
She said excitedly.
"Well don't jinx it honey. We get to the truck. We can leave Panama"
He told her.
"And I am coming with you"
He added.
Cat smiled. Cat's phone started to ring and she realized that it was her father.
"Go ahead"
He told her.
Cat answered the satellite phone and waited. "Hello"
"Cat?"
"Hi Dad"
"Where are you? I saw on T.V. that the apartment complex I rented for you and your team had caught on fire"
Cat realized that her team was in the building.
"Don't worry about me Dad. I'm safe. I got the Progenitor Flower and I had some help"
"Are you still in Panama?"
"Yes"
"In the next few days. Panama will be invaded by U.S. special forces. I will send a team to return you home"
"Dad I have help. He's been helping me since my apartment burned down"
"Who?"
Cat froze and remembered her promise.
"I can't tell you. He's important to me. Is there anywhere that I can meet you"
"Get to the warehouse facility in Panama. Just on the outskirts"
"Another thing Dad. I'm being hunted by Enemy Corporations. They're after my research"
"Then you need to tell me who is helping you"
Bell kindly took the phone and spoke.
"Good morning sir. This is Bell Masaki. You may know me as Perseus as that was who I am. I ran into your daughter and have been helping her since and can assure you that nothing will happen to her. We will meet you at the Warehouse where I will continue to accommodate her in whatever way she chooses. She told me about your company and she wants my name cleared up from the CIA. If that is to be done then Cat will happily bring you two of these flowers"
Bell waited.
"You have a deal. Please Protect my daughter"
"I will"
He handed Cat back the phone.
"See you soon dad"
Cat hung up the phone and stared at Bell.
"What?"
"You know he's going to do a lot of research on you"
"Let him. I got nothing to hide. Well besides being in love with his daughter"
Bell said which made Cat giggle.
