Chapter Five: The Team

"Please, mom. I'm not using." Alexis said tears well up in her eyes.

" Why should I believe you. It's not like I can test you for the drug. It's untraceable. You did it for months before I knew last time. You seek out night after night that's a perfect time to get your fix." Alexis's mom said.

" Mom, I haven't use Blacksnow in years. I promise yo..." Alexis said being interrupted by her mom.

"No... It doesn't matter if you haven't but, you are at risk of relapse if you don't get help. I know you don't want to go but, it's for your good." Alexis's mom demanded.

"..." Alexis said nothing.

" Please just pack your bags." Alexis's mom said disappointedly.

" Mom, please. I can't leave right now please I can't." Alexis said crying.

" Why are you so, adamant to not go to rehab. I said yes the first time because you had a look in your eyes telling me you were telling me the truth but, you just started seeking out to an unknown place every night. You don't tell me anything about your life. You didn't even tell me what happened for you to want to use Blacksnow. You will come back in a few weeks once I confident that you will not relapse." Alexis's mom said.

" I'll go to meetings, please. I just need to stay for a couple more days." Alexis said.

" Fine, you think you can handle this on your own fine! I'm tired of trying to helping someone who doesn't want help. You have been scheduled to go for years now. Now, you want to go." Alexis's mom said walking out of the living room.

" Thank you," Alexis said walking upstairs. I need to find who the supporting Snowman now. Before mom drags me out of the house to go to rehab. That probably gave me three weeks before she does that. I need to help if I'm going to find him in time. Alexis thought as she put on her makeup and clothes. Alexis was now Neo as she jumped out of the window.

At Luke's job.

" Good afternoon. How is your project going." Ms. Sten said smiling as she wrote code.

" Good. I think I found a solution to the problem. I've made a blueprint of the design of the builder." Luke said handing Ms. Sten the page in the notebook. Ms. Sten looked at the blueprint without a word. She smirked then gave the notebook back to Luke.

" I have three questions. First, What is the fly going made of? Second, What is going to power something that small? Third, How are you going to control them?" Ms. Sten asked.

" I don't know what material I can make it out of so I figure that out later. The power source I have a couple of ideas but, I think it could use solar power. I going to control them like a hive mind using a complex A.I to control their movements. Do you think it will work?" Luke said.

" I don't know but, if you do everything right it could work. Also, don't forget the deadline." Ms. Sten said.

" Yes, ma'am," Luke said running to another computer. Luke search for hours for good material. Then he found a man-made alloy that was perfect. Luke ordered the alloy and was doing looking at variables and redesigning the nanofly.

Many hours later. Luke realized that he needed to go. " Bye, Ms. Sten," Luke said rushing out the door as the same three men came out of the door. Luke bumped into the man in the middle in the hazmat suit with his shoulder. "Sorry," Luke said still rushing out of the door. Luke realized that his shoulder was freezing now.

" Kids this day." The man in the hazmat suit said in a deep voice. As the man spoke Luke felt sacred ever so slightly sacred.

Luke left the office building rushing home. When Luke made it home. He stopped running as he opens the door. he went straight to his room. The man wasn't there. Luke sat down in his chair putting on his headset as he opened his computer.

Somewhere in an abandoned house. Neo and three other people were sitting at a table. One was a man who was large and buff with a red and white suit and mask with an annoyed look on his face. Another was a woman with black hair wearing a white plague doctor mask and a nurse's uniform. And the last person was a man who wore no mask with black hair and black eyes and a black suit. He had his feet on the table.

" Neo are you there. Sorry, I'm late." The voice of the assistant rang in Neo's ear.

" Yes, I'm here. Finally, we waited for hours. Now, Let's get down to business." Neo said as she took out the earpiece and clicked a button on the earpiece putting it on the table.

" Ok, I found a lot of people who have connects to Snowman's drug operation. I'm sending you the locations on your phone." The Assistant said as the earpiece emits his voice loud enough for everyone could hear.

" That's good but, you should know that their more than me this time. We need to find Snowman's supporter faster so I enlisted some heroes right for the job." Neo said leaning on the table with her hands. " There are three other you should know their names. Cataclysmic, Forbibit woman and the Shadowman are here." She said with a smile.

Cataclysmic is the man in the red and white suit. Forbibit woman is the woman in the plague doctor mask. The Shadowman is the man in a black suit and black hair and black eyes.

" Now, that out of the way can you please meet us in person. I need to see the person I'm going to be working with." The Shadowman said with a mischievous grin. Everyone else had a look of shock on their faces when he said that.
