Tales of Night Owl City (Zellsantal and Ethereal)

"Ah, my apologies. I meant no offence but rather just staying people like you. As for your questions it depends how you make yourself look. The more you look different the better your chances that no one will recognize you. Of course we would know. Say you change your face some to have a scar or two, different eye color, skin tone and such I don't think your father would even recognize you. Now you might want to change your voice or have a voice mod so you can keep your normal one but have another one at hand when talking with others. You can still be yourself but your also still young my dear, so you have room to change and grow into something different. Now I do have some magazines with many different faces could use to make you look similar to those if you like. So here is how I work. I scan your face into my system and then from there make the changes of how you want it. Then I can go from there. I put you out for a while and when I am done I would wake you up and then erase the data so that way even if your father manages to tack you down here, they wouldn't have any information whatsoever of what you look like now." he said and then get out some magazines and even start showing some face's on his computer to see which she might chose.

Saint watch and listen to all that went on and nodded in agreement. "He has a point though your father might be after me at times sense I failed to save you out of the moving car. But I don't think it would be much. I mean Corps hate losing good and cheap bodyguards. Alright I'm going to wait outside, if you need something just give me a yell and I'll come on over. " he told her and went ahead and walked out of the room. "Heh he's just a big softy. I will say this much for you, you picked one of the best to be you bodyguard. For he does his job very well. He I would hire him more if I could, but his price is too high for me. In any case do you see anything combos you like?"
 
When he apologized she took it and nodded since she wasn’t want to hold a grudge it just felt weird to be called that. Even if it might’ve been true it still hurt. “I’ve Never change my self before I have no idea what to even go for. Should change a lot or a little? I mean I can come as a blonde do I change my eye color I’m really new at this. You can even change your voice?” That really confused her she had no idea how much a person could actually change and this was just completely new knowledge for her. Kiseki was pretty much new to everything since she had lived behind closed walls for all of her life. She became distracted when saint began to talk and she was worried about his safety and hopefully at least for now he would back off thinking that she was no longer in the realm of the living. That at least distracted her for a few moments until she realized she could see what kind of face she could choose.

When Saint decided to leave her alone and he would go outside she wasn’t quite sure what to do other than go silent for a few moments. “He is literally the best but I’m happy I found him just out of sheer luck. What do you think I should do change myself before what do most people change themselves as?” Her attention was now on him wondering what she should do since this was a new journey maybe he had some insight about what she should look like. “What do you think he would like?” She motion to wear Saint decided to wait outside since a lot of time with her maybe he can make her look desirable just because looking beautiful mind to keep him around especially since he was priceless to her.
 
Cage sat there waiting to see what she would do. His eye rose a bit when she asked what Saint would like which only made the man laugh. "Oh I don't think it is my place to tell you that. Think you better know him yourself if you want to know what he likes. Buuuttt I think I have something in mind. Bear with me here." he said before typing some things on his computer with her image and then showing her the changes he had in mind. "So here's some ideas and you tell me which one you think would fit you. You would have blond hair but for eyes I was thinking one of these three and for markings these three as well." He said as he showed the pictures on screen. One, two and three of each set of eyes were shown, then he would bring another screen with different face markings first, second and third.

"Now me personally these are great, and any mix would work too. There is others to which you can pick but I think for now this would work. This way its not harming your face much and changing your eye look wouldn't be bad either. So basically, I don't have to cut anything off or replace for that matter other then maybe the hair to give it the blond look. Then again, a simple dye added to your hair make up might just do the trick. That way it would naturedly grow as a blond then what you have now. What do you think my dear. would any of these work for you or do you care to look for something that is more you?" he asks once more and wait to see what she would say next.
 
Cage wasn’t too scary but she was still worried about changing so much. When he would bring up the eyes that was at least the easiest part the one she was drawn to the mouse was the one that looked like a galaxy it was so beautiful and that was the one she was drawn to straightaway pointing to number two. “Well he says I have to change and at least if he has to look at me every day I should least make myself look decent right?” She was trying to figure out what saint might want at least that would help her choose but at least for the eyes she picked for herself.

The markings she looked at caused her to pause and she wasn’t sure how she would feel about that and she really couldn’t choose one out of the three she looked up at cage. “ Do I actually need one of those?” Her question was curious and nonjudgmental she was just someone who had never had anything like that and it seems like so much especially for someone who was so hidden away. “Is this what people wear?” She couldn’t help but curious as she’ll mulled over the three choices not sure which one to pick but she really didn’t care for many of them. “I guess… if I have to choose one of those I’m not really big on them but I guess the second one I wouldn’t hate myself looking in the mirror. I guess it’s not really for me honestly right it’s to make sure no one finds me so it doesn’t matter if I like them or not right?” Cage seemed very knowledgeable and she was hoping to get his opinion on things. “Th moon one I don’t hate….”
 
Cage thought it over for a minute and took a deep breath "You don't need the face markings really. Just if you don't want your father to catch on your alive or somewhere else it best to make yourself different as possible. However, if you're against the whole changing your face and all I guess only the eyes and hair should work well enough." he told her and hope that would help ease the tension in her. "Besides this is your first-time getting mods so this alone should be a good start and besides your young and have lots of time to change your mind and improve yourself as well. Though I am surprised you would ask what Saint would like. I will say this, he doesn't care about the eyes and hair color. Though if you walk around in his place naked you'll get his full attention. For he like seeing his women walking around nude. Though don't tell I said that, or he might get a little pissed at me. Then again, I don't know if he is into young girls like yourself, hell if I was him, I would be!" he said and then give a laugh.

"Now then sweetheart have a set and relax, I'll take care of the rest." he told her. Once she done "Take a puff of this and it'll help you sleep through this. " He said and showed her how to use the inhaler. Once she used it, she would feel very sleepy to the point she would black out. The next thing she knew she would wake up on the chair while Cage was cleaning and putting away some tools "How you feeling? Being we didn't do the face you should be alright. Though you might feel your eyes a bit sore for a little bit, but they look very nice on you." he said before bringing a mirror to her where she would see the galaxy likes looking back at her as well with blood hair.
 
Cage was an absolute sweetheart explaining things to her especially since she was visibly nervous about the entire thing. With just him and her it was clear She wasn’t used to such interactions alone since her father kept her cooped up. He least mentioned the hair and eyes would be a good start and she would agree really quickly. It wasn’t too drastic but enough to make her look different. The last thing she wanted to say why she didn’t like being poked and prodded but that was a different matter and she would have to eventually get over it and she wondered if this would actually hurt. Kiseki I was going to ask for more information but when he started speaking about saint and if you want his attention just walk around nude his place cost her to turn into a bright red mass as she blush so brightly it felt like she could light up the room! She couldn’t help the fact that she was young but the way cage was teasing her only made her look even more embarrassed.

“I…I… nude? I’m not like that…. do men like that? I guess you do but I have no idea I don’t even know if I like him like that…I just wanna make sure I’m decent to look at a think..” Kiseki began mumbling as she went to go sit down and he could tell that she was so tense getting in the chair not knowing what was gonna happen though he did tell her what to take and breathing but before she did she would ask about her hair color. “I…I know what eyes I want, but maybe silver or white hair would go with them do you think so?” She asked without thinking she took a puff of what he gave her trying to relax in the chair having no idea how fast the medicine would put her to sleep. Whatever she took put her out really quickly and she wasn’t sure what she will wake up to since she wasn’t sure what he would do when she did finally wake up she did feel sore and blinking was hard and her hair was different.

“I get the sore part….” Shimmer but when he handed her a mirror she nearly dropped it when she saw herself because it didn’t feel like she was looking at herself. “I still feel sleepy….” She looked at the mirror again but put a face down since she was too afraid to look at herself again.

“It’s…. it’s very different…” Who is all she could manage to say especially since this was something she was not used to or prepared for it wasn’t like she liked it or hated it it was new and Kate could tell she just had no words for it it wasn’t against him but this was all going so fast it was hard for her to actually fully react.
 
Cage watch her reaction and as he expected. The surprise on her face were enough to tell him she likes it and couldn't recognize herself. Still putting his tools away as she said she still feel a bit sleepy. "Yeah, you're going to more likely feel that way for another hour or two. Then you will be just fine. Just don't look at the sun or anything too bright for about a day or two and your site should be just fine as well. If not let me know and I'll see what I can do. Now then I'll go get Saint and you two can be on your way." Cage told her as he walked out of the room.

Saint in the other hand wasn't just setting and doing nothing his whole time. He was online looking up things and thinking how he would add her to his place. Well he would say one thing, at least not many would want to mess with her while around him. At least he hopes so. A girl like her is an easy target for just about anyone until she knows how to take care of herself in the streets which she is not ready for. He would agree to train her how to defend herself. Which might be a while, but he has time to kill. His plan is that once she is well enough that she didn't need him anymore to let her go and be her own woman and find her place in this world. Though this might be a bit hard for him as well. He never trained anyone or have a kid of his own. Hell, not many want someone with a lifestyle as his where he could end up being dead at any time. On top of that he didn't want anyone to be used against him or be put in danger, which is why he is always the lone wolf.

Upon seeing Cage walking out of his room Saint was waved to come inside. After a few moments he was inside the room and blinked in surprised of how stunning Kiseki looked. With the eyes and change of hair he did have to say she looked much different than before. Saint couldn't but smile "Well Cage I see you outdid yourself." he told him. "Na dog, she picked them out. If anything, she has good taste. Now then my work is done but looks like yours is just starting. I wish you luck with her Saint." he told him before both Saint and Kiseki walked out of the ripper shop. Saint also called out for another ride for them to take them back to his place. "How you are feeling, tired?" he asked.
 
Cage probably could tell that she was just very much in shock with how much she changed wasn’t even used to looking at herself and for the moment she was completely silent. Kiseki listened to his warning about her eyes especially since she had to be careful about lights and how sensitive they would be for a few days. “No solar eclipse then.” She said jokingly trying to lighten the mood since she was still just reeling from the fact that she looks so different.

When he said he would get seats at the mirror to look at herself again especially since I wasn’t used to the hair. She was not married to this idea but it does look nice even though it might not be something she permanently keep. The eyes on the other hand she really liked. Saint literally was her only hope especially he was all that she had out here even though Cagr did give her a new look Saint was the one she was relying on and she had no idea what was gonna happen now. For now she could not leave him especially since this world out here was nothing she was used to.

When Saint finally came in and saw her the compliments made her blush just because she wasn’t used to them and she pushed some of her new blonde hair behind her ear and whispered a very soft thank you. “Do I really look that different?” Her voice was soft when she asked and rather curious. Kiseki didn’t take long to get ready and followed suit out and waved goodbye to cage thanking him profusely so it probably wouldn’t be the last time she’d be seeing him.

“I’m tired but not so bad. What do I do now? I can stay with you I don’t know what to do on my own now.” Kiseki asked but she at least knew she could stay with him though she had no idea how she could be useful. She at least had her nano bots but how could she use them without setting off any alarm bells.
 
"Heh, you looked at yourself, so you tell me. I would say your father wont able to know who you are unless he did a bio scan on you. In any case you will be staying with me. I thought about it and decided to give you some training. Mainly because you need to earn your keep if you're going to be living with me. Going to see what skills your good at and go from there. The more you learn the better you'll be when you do get on your own. But don't think it will be a walk in the park young lady because out her in the real world, beyond the walls you once knew is harsh and dangerous. So be ready for a rough ride! Welcome to Owl City!" he told her.

With those words the two of them were now partners/roommates for the next two years. Saint home schooled her some and show Kiseki the basic of living off the lower end of Owl City. Not everyone is nice and willing to help you unless you do something in return. However not everyone is so bad. Like Cage there are others who are kinder and more open minded. These are the people that Saint hang with mostly and respect for that matter. He even had her meet the Shadow Broker himself. Saint also taught her how to defend herself in case she needed to, no she wouldn't be as strong as he is but help make her quick on her feet and to think of her surroundings. Making her speed her top skill if she was to get cornered. However, he also helps toughen her up so she could take some hits and beatings if needed. Also helped Kiseki how to use different weapons, well those that she liked and felt she could use.

It was within that time that they found out Kiseki is very skilled when it came to computers or rather hacking them. So, he made sure she gotten all the education needed for computers as well anything else she might want to get into. He notices how much she have changed when they first met and grown in all the right place's toe. This made him worry when Kiseki would get into with men her age or rather dating. There are many that would take advantage of a girl like her and he would hate to find out she gotten iced so easily and early in her life.
 
It was hard for Kiseki to believe her entire life was finally changing. With Saint it didn’t feel real and he was honestly a great boost of confidence for her. With het looks her father couldn’t pick her out of a line up at all unless she was scanned. That was a good thing and made her less anxious. With her living with Saint it gave her protection and a life she an actually dreamed of and freedoms. “Is it wrong to be excited?” She asked as he spoke about Owl city a place she never saw from beyond her room. “I know it won’t be easy but I’m free. I’m finally free.” Taking his warnings to heart she’d learn all he was willing to teach her.

For the next two years she was joined at his hip. Kiseki even went from blonde hair to pure white. Her eyes she loved but as she learned how to hack systems she was becoming an asset. Kiseki even earned a new name; Ghost. With her luxe and eyes and how fast she was in and out of the system she was untraceable and extremely skilled. She was not as naïve as she used to be and she was getting the hang of reading people thought she did make mistakes. The part of her was still trusting but with Saint he kept her mostly out of trouble. Learning how to fight and defend her self was tough it turned out she was very good at using sword like weapons and fighting people from a distance instead. Though if she had to she was very good at close combat even though she didn’t want to do it.

She even chose to date a bit but nothing ever stuck. She still maintain her air of innocence but was mostly unlucky in love and dating though she still had Saint. She was slowly developing a crush on him but said nothing figuring he would not even look at her that way which caused her to pick the wrong men or anyone who is very similar to him. He would eventually learned that even if she did date she never really kept a steady boyfriend and focused on her skills and hacking but also trying to please him and make sure she was making him proud even if she thought he would never notice her.
 
Over the years they stayed together he noticed things. For one she seems to have trouble keeping a guy. Sure, Saint lets in a few guys that she thought were cool though most get one look at him, and they right away run for the hills. Other than that life with the two of them were pretty good. Better than he thought really. Saint felt like a father figure to the girl more than just a teacher and protective of her too. Nor did he put many restrictions for he wanted her to have much freedom as possible. All in all he managed to give her what she wanted, free to be herself. On top of that a good life, well good as one could get anyways. However, he also notices other things. Saint couldn't help but eye her body sometimes and though about what she would feel like under him. He knew he shouldn't think like that, but it's been getting harder as of late. Its why he hoped she would find someone soon or else his own mind might make him do something he would later regrate.

Today they gotten a new job which really would help keep his mind from any sexual thoughts about his... well adopted daughter/ student. In this job it was simple but still dangerous. He is sent to go save the life of a Corp's son named Tim from a small gang calling themselves Black Beats. A rookie gang that thinks they can become big shots. What they don't realize is they bitten more than they should and now The Wolf and Ghost would be going after them. Like he and Kiseki have done before. He didn't think she was ready for any type of field work so he has her stay in the car where in the back is computer set up that she could use to hack in and help him out, being his eyes and ears as well as any other ticks she could on the computer.

Saint drove them to what looked to be a warehouse somewhere towards the west edge of Owl city itself. He went ahead and park the car nearby but behind some walled off area so the car wouldn't be seen. They would also be told that another car would be around the area waiting. If everything goes well and Tin don't get much of a scratch on him then they would get a big bounce. Saint got of the care and started looking for ways to sneak in without being notice. "Ok Ghost talk to me, what do you see?" he asked.
 
Kiseki had matured over years. She even luck with white hair with those galaxy eyes of hers and it really fit her new name; Ghost. She was well known for her amazing skills with a computer. Her hacking skills were starting to get noticed and even with other people offering her jobs that she refused and stayed with Saint. She was attached to him even though she boyfriends here or there and he even met a few she never had a steady relationship. She saw him as a mentor but also as someone who liberated her though her crush never went away and she felt like she could never act on it even though she fantasized about it so many nights. Being away from her father and family she blossomed coming into her own giving her confidence and even with that confidence she still cannot tell Saint how she felt about him. He would occasionally field logging stares and lingering glances that she thought he didn’t notice.

At least for now a new job came in that would distract her from staring at him and keep her busy. This job was a bit different than the others she would have to work to help with the son of a corps and even though she had been estranged for years it’s still scared her to go near them. Saint could tell she was nervous but she would never admit it. To be honest she should not have been worried but it was just the thought of being near people like her father that still weirded her out. “You no I’m not really into helping corps let’s hope this job is in and out.” Kiseki spoke up but she did not turn down the job especially since she wasn’t gonna let him go alone. She was always joined at his hip and did not plan on going anywhere.

With that they were off and he was driving them to where they needed to go but he could tell she was still so nervous but held it together well especially with how she looked she could turn all sorts of heads but the only tension she wanted was his. Ghost was in Job mode and when they finally got there she got to work with her computer and started typing. When he asked what she saw she easily cracked the system. “This system is child’s play. It should not be this easy or it’s just me. And…I’m in. What am I looking for?” She asked as she looked through the system trying to find anything suspicious and all of their stupid transactions that she could use against them.
 
"I know Ghost, I'm not a fan of the Corps either but we don't pick our jobs. Besides the pay is worth it and who knows maybe we might get something more out of it. " he told her as he gotten to the small walls around the warehouse and looked for a way through it. He found a small hole for him to crawl through. It was a bit of a tight fit, but he manages to get though without problems. Once through he could see a camera slowly turning it way towards him "Got a camera turning to me on the west side of the building." he told her and trusting her enough to take care of it. Hearing her saying the system was too easy did seem a little odd. Normally when having a prize like a Corp's child they would have tighter security and have guards all over the place. Here it just seems like no one is guarding the way inside other than cameras. It smells like a trap though he has been wrong before. "Ghost if there is camera's inside then scan the area for our target. Also get a layout to see where these gang bangers are and how many for that matter." he told her.

He opens the door. With Ghost in the system, she would be able to unlock all doors for him without any problems. She would notice that the gang members were all over the place. One in a kitchen, another just walking around and looking out the windows. She would see their target laying on a bed tied up with three others there as well watching tv while in another room though can't be seen could tell was another one. From what she could tell that room had all the security systems. All of which seems to be in the back area of the warehouse while there is other old junk and parts that lay all over the place.

When looking in the room with the target and the three guys there she could hear them talking. "Dude when is the boss going to show, I mean I know we are the new guys and all but though he would be here by now." one said. "He'll be here, he said he's just waiting for something before showing up. It's what he said anyways. Then we would get paid, afterword we can go out and have some fun!" another said. "I wish he hurry up, tried of this dump!" the first one said before leaning back on the couch.
 
“I know we fit choose but I hate dealing with Corps and you know why.” Her disdain for any corps was apparent and saint knew her history. “Sure we may get more but is it worth it? Maybe the target will useful.” Sometimes she got jaded but nothing Saint couldn’t handle. Letting him do his thing her fingers and Nanobots took action. He mentioned a camera and not even a few seconds after he met i ones the camera it instantly stopped and she put I on a fake look of the same footage.

“Scanning inside. Be careful Saint. I’ll d all I can from here. It’s a corps a you knee maybe I should be physically going in there.” She offered even if she hated them she knew how they worked. “There’s more than expected inside. So many guards. Who is this guy?” She asked rhetorically. “The halls are crawling with guards and target has 3 on him. Should I take over anything? They are dumb enough to have weapons I can hack. Should I?” She wants to scare them but not wit joy Saint’s go ahead. “Once he’s out we get paid. I want to be out of here as fast as possible but be careful in there I don’t trust them.” Ghost had a bias and it wasn’t hard to see that she hated them especially considering her history. “What Are they protecting in there they have way too many people in there. There must be something more than him. It was way too easy to get in but I don’t trust it don’t go too far without my word.” She was protecting saint and she didn’t want anything to happen to him since he looked up to him and cared for him more than she would ever tell him.

When she would clear the way she would let him know where to go and where to turn it would be hard for her to navigate or change the cameras Hernando bots once in the system they would override everything no one had this kind of ability and they couldn’t trace it back to her especially since they thought she was dead.

“ keep going everything is clear the target has three guards on him I’ve made sure the cameras are on a loop as long as you can take them out I will make sure no one sees that you’re there you will be a phantom get in and get out.” Her voice was firm as she ordered him to do what she said especially since her eyes were making sure nothing would happen to him she might’ve been a bit too bossy but she knew what she was doing and hope he wouldn’t get angry at her for bossing him around she just wanted him safe and to get out of there as soon as possible.

“ you know you could always send me and I’m dying to get my hands dirty and I hate these people.” She wasn’t sure if Saint would let her do anything like that but she did offer
 
Saint moved like a shadow one he got inside. With Ghost as his guide, he's able to be walk around without being notice. No, he wasn't taking his time but nor was he in the rush. Really without her he would be more likely tripping some alarm or entering the wrong room and guns blazing. He doesn't mind that really but for this job he doesn't want to get his target killed or hurt for that matter, so stealth is everything. On top of that he's not a killer, in fact he hates killing anyone needlessly. He looks at some of these fools and it remind him when he started. He was part of a gang once, some good friends who were just trying to survive the hell hole they called home. He hopes that he didn't have to end anyone's life, but he will if need be. Then He would pray for them once his mission is done.

Having Ghost as a partner have been.... the best thing for him. Sure, she can be a pain at times and a bit bossy, but he learns that's just how she is or rather how she shows she cares. Also, she made his life feel... more with living and worth protecting for that matter. So, when she mentions about sending her, he almost snaped at her "No! You are not ready yet for this field!" he whispered though a bit more loudly than he intended. Luckly no one heard him. "We will talk about this after the mission, right now let's Focus with this. " he said though in a gentler tone. He couldn't blame her to what to be part of the field work. In a way it was fun but at the same time there are more things that could go wrong if one is not carful. He taught her well but still she yet to do a mission on her own. To know how the field feels like and how dangerous it is. In true he is holding her back because he didn't want her to get killed or hurt for that matter. Still, he would have to let her do it one of these days, just not today.

Three guys were no problem. One went to the bathroom to take a piss while the others were watching tv. Saint waited for the right moment until the one went to the bathroom and he strike the young man at the back of his head and quickly catch him before hitting anything. Dragging his body out and away from being seen in the open. He lay the body on the floor and went to work on the next one. One of them went back to the other room where their tech guy would be at and watching the cameras. Leaving only one watching tv. Saint once again did the same thing, sneak behind and strike again to talk the man out cold. Hearing the third coming back to the room Saint quickly went back to the bathroom to hide within the doorway area. One the third person was out and just about to check his friend Saint use his speed implant. Everything moved in slow motion while he came up to the guy fast and punch him hard in the stomach area. With enough force to knock the wind out of anyone and caught off guard for that matter. Without skipping a beat Saint's speed went back to normal and with that he quickly strikes again to knock the guy out.

With those out of the way Saint right away went into the next room where the tech guy and the target were at. Saint quickly pointed his guy at the techy and the young man freaked as he rose his hand in the air. "Nice at easy! Get up and walk away from the computer." he told the man, and he did what he was told. It was that moment he knocked the young man out cold with his knockout strike to the head. Now for his target. A young man who looked to be in his twenties, tied up and mouth tapped shut. Saint came up to young man and take hold of the tape "This is going to sting but don't scream." he said and pull the tape off quickly. The young man didn't even flinch which impressed the merc. Saint went ahead and unties the young man "What's your name?" he asked. The young man rose a brow as if a bit surprise for one to ask that question. "Tim, Tim Jahoney." he said. Now this made Saint look at the young man with a surprise as he now realizes who is with him. Which could be a curse or a blessing depending how it's viewed.

The Jahoneys are a mob family who own about a fourth of Owl City as well who owns a Corp as a family. They are one of the most respectful and feared people in Owl City as well so whoever it was that kidnaped a Jahoney either have some major balls or dumb as fuck. Or both for that matter. Still, Saint didn't like how this was going. Its no wonder he wasn't given a name or only a half truth about it. Because others would have taken the chance to gain favor with the Jahoney family. Tim couldn't help but chuckle "I take it they didn't tell you who you were getting. Understandable. But we can talk more later, how about we get out of here while we can. " Just as the two were talking a Hammar drove up to the place and the doors open wide for it to come in. Ghost would see it coming.
 
Saint was great on missions but ghost really wanted to get out there even though she was better behind a screen she felt like she was more than ready even though she was bossy and telling him what to do she had his best interest at heart. Getting into systems was literally nothing for her and even if the system is hard with her nano bots she had a way of infiltrating things without getting noticed at all which meant she was great for espionage.

Her eyes were on her partner making sure nothing happened to him and make sure everything was clear if anything popped up she would let him know. Then when she mentioned how she wanted to be on the field she noticed a change in the tone of his voice which made her tense up but she didn’t say anything. “You know I could be decent on the field you know you don’t wanna be so protective I’ve been with you for like two years don’t you think I’m ready yet?” Even though he said they talk about it when he get back she couldn’t help but throw out a question even though she had a feeling he might not answer her right now especially considering how stressful the situation was.

“We Will discuss that when you get back just be safe and get back in one piece watch out and if you need me to do anything drastic let me know I can easily hack into the sprinklers.” She could be kind of practical joker at times but this was not the time to do that especially with this very high profile client that she had no idea who was other than a Corps kid.

Anytime anyone got close to her partner she would make sure to draw their attention elsewhere and she was very good at distracting giving Saint enough time to get to the target but when he did she heard the name and it made her pause for a long moment. “Who did you say?” She asked because she thought she heard some familiar name but she wasn’t sure either way she would find out soon enough when he would escape and bring the target with him.

When they finally made the escape that was a sigh of relief on her part especially once they got to the Hummer. When they were finally get to their target safe place she was waiting standing with her arms crossed pretty much ready to argue her point with her partner/boss. “ don’t worry no one followed you and even if they could I made sure to use my magic to scramble a few GPS says they’ll never find you so who is that?” She was very curious about their target especially one that got them and so much hot water in such a dangerous area.
 
They reach to the Hammer and once inside the driver drove out of the area and to where Saint's is and drop him off to his own car. Both vehicles parted ways and headed out of the area before they were discovered. Once on the road and away enough is when he starts to ease a little bit and hearing her questions about wo it was, they just saved. "Tim Jahoney. Or rather a Jahoney. Whoever those guys were they really had to either get lucky or their boss did the real hard work like a pro and only left Tim to some young gang that really could be taken out with ease. Not sure why needed me to do this when the cops themselves could have handle it just fine. Still my question would be is how a Jahoney, one of the top Corps in Owl city, end up getting caught by some hot shot of a gang leader. Then again, the Jahoney's have too much pride to ask a cop for help nor would they admit their mistakes." he said almost talking to himself on the last part of it but still something else was a bit off making it feel like it was a test of a sort.

"Well either way we gotten a big bonus and I think we can have some fun tonight if you're up for it, my treat. Now then, about what we were talking about earlier. I understand you want the thrill of being in the field. But I feel your still not ready." he said and sigh a bit as he drove them. "However, if you really want to do this then I won't stop you, but you need to prove you can handle it. You do a small job on your own and depending how well you do then I will consider more field work for you." he said to her. He realizes he gotten too attached to her. He felt like she was his little girl though as she gotten older those two years... let's just say he started getting other thoughts. Which is kind of why he's holding back for her to do anything else other than being his hacker girl. "Is that fair enough for you?" he asked and hope that would satisfies her.

Saint stopped in a trust stop and parked before turning his head to her "Look... I'm sorry if I'm holding you back. I just don't want you to make the same mistakes I did what I started. Trust me when I say I fucked up a good few times before I got what you see before you. With it some regrates which I don't want you to have in your life or very little if I can help it. That's... how much I care about you." he told her.
 
“The name sounds familiar but honestly I didn’t have many friends back when I was trapped at home.” Ghost made conversation once she and Saint were reunited. “You do know why they called us and not the cops don’t you?” She asked though she’d give him her theory without him having to ask. “Cops are pretty incompetent. My father said that a lot. Most cops can be paid off or bribed he said. No idea how true it is but I guess it can’t be that far from the truth if they called us.” She had no idea about the family but the job was done. The target was safe and Saint mentioned they made a good amount of pay as well.

“I’m always up for celebrating. I think we both earned it. Especially if you’re tearing I’ll take it!” She said flashing a cheeky grin. Then he brought up what she mentioned earlier and he had her full attention. “We’ve been at this for like two years. I think I can handle myself. I can even handle creepy guys. I’m tougher than I look. “ he knew she could handle herself in some ways but a job was different than handling creeps at a dive bar and she was a skilled hacker and could hold her own and she saw Saint do it so many times she figured she could do it too!

“I guess it’s fair enough but will you let me chose the job Dad?” She wasn’t sure how he’d react to her calling him that but she was playfully teasing him. He obviously wasn’t her dad and cared more about her than her real dad and she appreciated it. When they finally stopped and he turned to look at her she thought he was going to get upset, but he only started to tell her why he was being a bit over protective. “You don’t need to worry so much Saint. You always look out for me but if I don’t get out there and learn I can’t help out. I promise I won’t get into too much trouble.” Ghost leaned in or warning him and gave him a peck on the cheek. “Don’t worry daddy. I’ll make you proud.” How he took that was up to him. “I care about you too. Let me help out okay? I wont let you down. Train me and I’m sure you won’t regret it. Now for that celebration….where were you thinking?”
 
Dad... he never thought of being called that before. Really, he figures he would just die alone without anyone really caring about them. But now he has someone who looks up to him like a father. This alone did change him some and even learn from her of how to be a good father figure. It did bring a small smile on his lips and is happy she is at least agreeing to his terms. "That you may, in fact I hope you would so you can learn how to judge if you're ready or not. I'll get a hold of Broker and I am sure he could bring up a list of what you could do. I only ask you don't rush any of it understand, you can't grow if your dead and you could very well die in them." he told her. "Your right that you need to spread your wings and do things on your own... I guess I just find it hard to let you go after all the time we been together." he said before chuckling. Again calling him dad or daddy this time as if she was his little girl. Though some part of him thought it wasn't a parent thing but more... well thinking more sexual thoughts which quickly pushed away.

"As for the celebration I really don't have anything in mind other than going to some fast-food place. Though... I heard of a new club that just opened up about a week ago called The Shadow Vail. Said to be a very big place and hear many good things about it so could try that if you like. Unless you have something else in mind you would like to go?" he asked.
 
Even though she called him dad it was still jokingly and she didn’t really see him as fully like a father more like a mentor. She was very lucky to have him in her life and he was willing to take care of her and look after her which was very big especially since her father was not really a good role model at all.

“ Why do I have a feeling that you’re gonna judge me the harshest?” It was an honest way of thinking since he always took care of her and she had a feeling he would be extremely strict and protective over her. She didn’t mind that he was overprotective it was actually quite endearing and sweet. Ghost at least knew he was serious when he brought in Broker’s name. When he asked her not to rush into things she nodded enthusiastically she was just excited that he agreed to it. She was so good behind the computer and hacking this was a new thing for her to learn and it was even more exciting since it kind of felt forbidden. “Just because I’m doing it on my own doesn’t mean I’m leaving you I’m not going anywhere I just want to help out more and maybe make us more money I think we’re doing all right right now but if I can help imagine how much better we can do.” He could tell she was thinking of him and ways to help him but she didn’t say she wanted to pay him back for all the things he did for her. The last thing she wanted was for him to feel bad.

When he mentioned club he could see how she perked up and smiled brightly. “You know i’ve never tried a club out here let’s go together I mean fast food is great I don’t mind it as long as it’s with you. Let’s try the club I promise I won’t get lost and I’ll stay close to you don’t worry I’ll be your email and if ifLet’s try the club I promise I won’t get lost and I’ll stay close to you don’t worry I’ll be your wingman if you find a pretty girl.” She was teasing him but she had no idea if he was looking for anyone at all but if he was she would help even though she might get a little jealous.
