I wake up in this gigantic bed, the bedroom was huge, the furniture was nice; Where the heck?
Oh, right. Angie, the plane, and the house. I got out of bed I was still in my clothes from before. We couldn't sneak our camp stuff on the plane, not without getting caught. I looked over at the other door. It was already opened to a private bathroom. I could use a shower. I saw that it already had towels under the sink. It was a nice shower. I got redressed and left the bathroom. Jazz looked like she just entered, she had a troubled look. "Uh, Cy? We don't have any food." Great. "But Angie called a minute ago. She said that she did a lot of grocery shopping and that she needs help bringing it in." I nodded. "OK. I'll do it. Do me a favor and make sure that everyone here gets a much needed shower. I thought I had tan here, but it turned out to be dirt." She smiled. "When will she be here?" I asked. "Now." "Oh." I went outside and dragged in everything, Angie bought. She was telling me that she got extra keys for us, food that will last a week or two, and some other minor things like toothbrushes and deodorant. I guess we need that stuff. Never had it before but I guess we need it. I know you are supposed to brush you teeth, but that's a little hard for us to do. You know with being on the run and all.
Angie suggested we go shopping for clothes. Jazz was all for it. The rest of us were like meh. Zues flew inside the house and we thought he'd be OK for a little while. It was a miracle we got anywhere at all. The First store we went to was closed do to a freak accident. Whatever that means. I could see inside the store. It looks like a part of the roof collapsed and a metal porcupine exploded. Jazz glared at me. I swore I didn't do anything. I couldn't blame her, I snuck out of the hotel room and fought Zero at a store, remember? (read Cyrus Noble part III)
It was weird. Going into a store and NOT planning to steal anything. We split into two groups, one for the girls and one for the guys. We grabbed some shirts and jeans that fit us. We had to peel Magnet away from the funny T-shirts. He was reading them to Viktor, but even he had a limit. We met back at the cashier. She was eyeballing us, but she let Angie pay for it all. Hey, it's her money. She wants to help us, and this was her idea. I can't be responsible for other people's actions.
We all carried our own stuff to the ca-limo, except for Sara and Magnet of course. Magnet insisted, but he was struggling to not use his powers. As we were loading the car, I looked around in the sky. Just for no reason. Then that's when I saw it. The skyscraper. There weren't too many skyscrapers in the city, but this one I saw the company it was for. It was Archer Co. And I imagined Bishop watching us from his office window and smiling wickedly. A new anger ran through me, Warming me in the Autumn air. That building had to come down now.
