"Yes, sir."

Aaron doesn't bother telling Jack that he has no idea how to do that! He hangs up and returns, quietly, to his table, watching to see if Adam will leave his phone unattended.

He's got an idea, but he needs an opening.

After they are done laughing he goes back to scrolling through it. Now and then setting it down on the table while he eats.

He has an idea!

Aaron gets up, quietly, goes to the biggest Chicago Paradigm student sitting nearby, and whispers in his ear!

"Hey, buddy, want a hundred bucks?"

He's good for it. "Distract those two -" he nods to Adam and Leo - "long enough for me to grab the big guy's phone, and it's yours next time I see you."

He finds a big guy!

"You want me to help you steal his phone?"

He seems skeptical!

"It's important, man. People could get hurt. Director's orders; I'll tell him you helped and you'll probably get rewarded."

He keeps his tone at a low whisper, so Adam and Leo don't hear!

"I'm not really comfortable with that..."

It seemed pretty fishy...

"Two hundred, plus I give your name to the Director? They're planning something bad, dude."

"If the Director wants to see him just tell them?"

Super uncomfortable.

"Yeah, I'll talk to them. Forget I said anything."

The one Paradigmer who can't be bribed... normally he'd like this kid, he's principled, but this is important.

Well, Plan B. Aaron returns to his food and pulls out his phone to send a text message!

Piper, Aaron. I need you. Cafeteria, as fast as you can. Be subtle!

Subtle? How subtle could a green haired girl BE when running sixty miles an hour down a hallway? Her brow cocked at the text, but she sent back something simple.

Miss me already?

The, she was off, thanking her victim for listening to her, for once. It took her only a few moments, a handful of seconds, to get from where she was - a classroom not too far away - to where he needed her.

Her appearance behind him would be sudden and as quiet as she could manage. "So," she whispered. "What's with the...." She motioned to him and her phone, still in one hand. "Espionage?" She grinned.

Well that did get some attention. The green haired girl appearing drew some eyes. Including Adam's!

"Hey. You were there when we arrived weren't you."

He finally noticed Aaron too.

Damnit. That was the opposite of subtle. Is Adam's phone on the table? If neither of them are watching it...

"Yeah, we were. Just having lunch; funny how we ended up sitting next to each other, huh?"

Play it cool. When he had his opening...

It was in his hand at the moment.

"Wanna join us?"

"Sounds good. Hope you guys're settling in well. Piper?"

That sounded like an invite, but it's her signal to be ready. He plays it cool, but he just needs one second...

She grinned at the arrogant dude, shaking her arms to try and rid herself of tingling. Subtle? She was not good at. She tapped Aaron on the shoulder, winking at him and shaking her phone at him. If he needed her help, just text.

"Sure." Piper moved over towards their table, running her free hand through her hair to try and calm it. Wind and dyed hair? Not a good mix. "Mind if I sit next to you?"

She smiled sweetly at Adam, tilting her head to one side.

"Not at all."

He'd shift over and tuck his phone into his pocket.

"It's been alright. Not as boring as I thought it would be. The facilities aren't as bad as I thought either."

He took a good moment to check out Piper.

"So you two going to participate in the matches?"

The speedster settled in next to him, a little too close for her personal comfort, and tapped her phone gingerly against her chin. When she wanted to play cute, she could.

"Maybe." She offered him a bit of a wink, her other hand falling to the seat.

Shit. The phone. Hopefully they weren't going to have to knock this guy out for it, because that would be one hell of an undertaking. Is it the pocket by Piper?

"Yeah, we'll be there. No idea which of you lot either of us is facing though."

He keeps the smile on his face. Just lower their guard... "It's not all parties like I hear Miami is, but Chicago's a good place."

The phone is on Piper's side!

"The parties are pretty sweet. But we know our stuff. Hell, when this is done maybe I'll show you a real training session."

He'd nudge Piper with his elbow.

Leo just rolls his eyes, but is still glued to his phone.

"I've heard good things about Director Harris' training, yeah. He's offered to teach me a few things sometime."

Meanwhile, Aaron pocket-texts Piper!

They're up to something. Need to get Adam's phone to Director Gavyns. His personal orders.

The nudge made her want to hit him. Hard. In the face. But nothing like that showed. Instead, she checked her phone, smirked, and put it in her pocket. Director Gavyns? You got it.

She leaned further into Adam, giving him what could be considered an innocent smile. She even managed the slight widening of her eyes. "Oh, really? Maybe I have something to teach you, mister."

If he'd let her, she'd brush her fingers against his hips, an obvious welcome. She seemed to ignore Aaron entirely at this point.

He doesn't rebuke her advances!

"Oh? Like what?"

His focus also turns to Piper.


"Tough break." Leo says next to Aaron, still not looking up from his phone.

Aaron remembering this is espionage is what allows him to keep the pleasant expression on his face. If Piper needs a distraction, she just needs to give him a signal and these two punks will be blind as bats.

"Hm? What is?"

He asks Leo, to seem interested!

She leaned forward, her lips near his ear, and whispered, "Escort me to the Director's office and maybe I'll show you."

Without looking at Aaron or Leo, she smiled, moving to take Adam's hand and stand.

Aaron clenches his fork much more tightly, to the point if he exerted a little effort it would snap in half!

He's acting. Hopefully Piper knows that.
