It had been a few months as Theon arrived at his office building again. The windows were boarded up and the doors locked with no lights on inside. Theon was wearing a dark green baseball hat backwards on his head with a pair of sunglasses to cover his eyes. He was wearing a dark green jacket and black shirt with a pair of blue jeans and black boots. He had on a black back pack and his UND on his wrist.

"Don't worry... I'll get you open again soon," said Theon to the building.

"Gotta say, it's a bit weird that you went this route to get everyone off our backs," said Char as she ate a hot dog near the truck. Her eyes were covered by a pair of sunglasses and she had a gold necklace around her neck. She was wearing a grey hoodie and pink shirt on with a pair of blue jeans and white sneakers. She had a white computer bag hanging around her shoulder and her UND on her wrist.

"Well, what's your grand plan for it?" Asked Theon as he turned to her.

"I say we just all take a holiday and then our hero sides just happen to die in an odd fire during one mission," said Char. "Then we meet up with the other guys on the other side to work something out."

"Yeah, except that we'd have to get Anthro bodies to burn. And let's not do that," said Theon.

"Yeah, yeah," said Char as she finished her food. "Anyways, you done talking or are we waiting for 'em here?"

"Yeah, yeah. We're here," said a voice. She looked over her shoulder to see six FAR soldiers walking up to them.

"Silence told us to come see ya'. This better be good," said the leader of the group.

"A bit... We wanted to talk to them in person but I guess they could only spare messengers," said Theon.

"Yeah, they're on some cover op shit out there right now. Way above our clearance and pay grade," said the leader. "So, what is it?"

"We're thinking about making a run out there," said Theon. "The only problem is that we're not exactly the most famous out there right now, are we?"

"Actually, a lot of people already kinda like you guys anyways. Not to mention that some already think you're out there due to the giant success that your company is already."

"So Ceves is out there, hun? Good. I just hope he doesn't mind me stepping in and taking over."

"He doesn't. He mostly just spends time drawing random things and throwing paper airplanes out into the city from the office. We've been asked to investigate of course. He'll be happy to step down."

"Yeah, I could tell... But, as for why you're out here today," said Theon as he pulled out a package from his bag. "Here, give this to Silence, his eyes only."

"It isn't poison, toxins, explosives, any of that right?" Asked the leader as he hesitated.

"No," said Theon as he handed it to him. "It is fragile though, so don't throw it from a sky scrapper."

"Got it," said the leader as he stored it away. "When you planning on running?"

"In the next week or two," said Char as she leaned against the truck. "We're busy trying to cool off the heat from everything that's happened as of late."

"Yeah, here's a map of a few of the places already," said the leader as he handed a paper to Theon. "Good luck. Phantoms, move out." They activated a device on their arms and they all disappeared, wandering into the day.

"You think it'll work?" Asked Char to Theon.

"It has to, otherwise who knows what'll happen," said Theon as he got back into the truck. The two of them drove off and arrived at a warehouse near the docks.
