Janelle POV

I sit on the roof and enjoy the wind on my body. I go through the photos of me and meta kids I've come in contact with. So far it's twelve, most can't control their power but a handful but the ones who do have at least a emotional control over their power don't even know what it is. I've given them all a burner phone number to contact me just in case.

I feel my phone ring and I pick up.

Me:Wassup unc?

Gambi:Anissa was blown through the hole...

Me:*sighs* on my way.

I toss the bunch of photos into my room letting the window down before jumping off the roof and landing inside of Gambi's hide out scaring both Jen and him.

Me:What's the issue?

Jennifer:Anissa is outside of the dome they put over Freeland.

Me:Okay can't we find another way to open it?

Gambi:Yes but we have to do it the right way so we don't endanger you two or your parents.

Jennifer:What's the point of having powers if I can't use them?

Me:You're still learning them Jen, until you can walk down the street without having used them in a month then we'll talk. Gambi what's the plan?

Gambi:We wait, if we don't hear from Anissa by tomorrow, we come up with a plan to bring her back across.

Why couldn't he have told me this over the phone in code word?

Me:Alright, keep me updated, Jen you coming?

She nods and grabs my hand, I jump and we are in the living room, I let go of her hand and point to her.

Me:If it ain't school or mandatory stay yo ass in this house, I'm not Anissa or dad, violence is my way of talking and I'm not letting shit slide. I don't trust that old man when he says we won't be taken into custody. Watch yourself Jennifer, if you sneak out you better sneak back in just as fine as you sneaked out. Got me?

Jennifer:Got it.

I nod and go back to my room, I take off my hoodie and stretch my body, just as I lay out on my bed I hear a pop and Jennifer cursing.

Me:Oh my- this girl!

I walk back down stairs and see her looking at a smoking microwave and barely no lights, I look at her the lift my arms.

Me:How?

Jen:I don't know.

I feel a presence of energy and I turn around looking at Agent Odell.

Me:Why are you in here?

Agent Odell: The surveillance system crashed.

Jennifer:That's cause I crashed it. It's creepy anyway, you watching us all the time.

Agent Odell:Okay alright. Forget surveillance. Where's Anissa?

Me:The shower. Wanna watch her shower too?

Agent Odell:We nev-*deep breath*

Someone has a temper. He hands me a phone and I look at it.

Agent Odell:There is a video from your parents on this. They wanted you to have it and so do I.

I toss the phone to Jennifer and fold my arms looking him up and down.
