The two then arrived at the square where Moya's lead, lead them. "Okay Moya, what now?" Cole asks her. "One of my contacts, an electrician named Brandon Carey, didn't check in last night. He's pretty important, so you need to find him. He was last seen in an alley across the street from your location." Moya informs them, they nod and ran off into the alley across from them and pass the container and found no one just some dead body. "Your boy isn't here Moya – just a dead woman," Cole informs her as Cassie walks up to the body.

"A woman? That doesn't make any sense." Moya states then an idea pops in Cole's head. He then walks up to the body, kneels down and touches the woman's head as Cassie places her on his shoulder. Then they both threw their heads back.

~Flash~

Reapers then surrounded the married couple, "Reapers." Lynnae said in shock, then her husband was being pulled away from her by the Reapers.

"No! Leave my husband alone! Where are you taking him?! Brandon!" Lynnae calls out as she reaches for him, but then was shot in the head.

~End of Flash~

Cole and Cassie pulled their head back down, Cassie pulls her hand back as Cole stood up and they both held their heads. "Whoa!" they both said in union. "What just happened?" Moya asks them, "We had a vision... the Reapers kidnapped Brandon. This is his wife, Lynnae." Cole answers her.

Then the two look over and saw an echo. "We can see the echo of someone running away." Cole states, "Follow it. We need to find out what happened." Moya orders them. Then they followed the echo out of the alleyway, across the street and into another alleyway, but they stop as they saw a conduit Reaper. "Damn!" they both shout and then dodge the incoming blast. They fired at the car, blowing it up and knocks the conduit back, Cassie took her chance and fires at it, killing it them, they follow through the alleyway, passed the gas station, across the street and into a squadron of Reapers.

They fired at the two as the two conduits fired back at them, Cassie sends out shockwaves and knocks them back then Cole fires at them, killing them all. And the ran down the alleyway. "Pick up your damned phone." Zeke snaps on the other line. "What's up?" Cole asks him. "The feds man, that's what's up. Watching our every move, even caught one scooping out the roof. Was leaning against the wall down there, eatin' a fresh apple. Now you tell me, where the hell'd he get that?" Zeke warns them, the two stop and look down at his phone.

"I don't know Zeke, but if we want to be out of here, this is the way it's gotta be," Cole informs him. "C'mon man, don't be stupid. They'll ride you as long as they can, but the second you're no longer useful, BAM, you vanish. Permanently." Zeke warns them and Cassie arch her eyebrow a little. "I think all that conspiracy stuff has rotten your brain," Cole informs him as he pats Cassie's head.

"Hey. Don't kill the messenger, brother. I'm tellin' it like it is – you watch your back." Zeke warns them again and he hung up, then Cole looks at Cassie. "Come on. Let's get moving," he tells her, taking his hand back. Cassie looks at him and they use their electric sense and followed the echo to the electric power planet. There they were ambush by Reapers and they blast them with everything they both.

After they took out the last one the ran to the power grid and saw a bomber was wrecking at the grid. It then turns and notices them and roars out, taking out some bombs and blew itself up, knocking but Cole and Cassie back, their vision was blurred and met with black.

~8~8~8~

They then came to and their bodies were wreck with pain as they were still aching and their vision blurred and they pulled themselves back up. But Cassie struggles as she was fighting to stand back up and then Cole helps her back up. "What just happened? I remember a bomber than an explosion then darkness." Cassie mutters as Cole pulls her arm over his shoulders and steadies her, "You're okay, just breath." he tells her and she groans a little in pain.
