"Before you go ,Marcus, I upgraded your cloaking device. You can now stay cloaked as long as you want... as long as you only want to stay cloaked for about five minutes."
"There's a catch to it, isn't there?"
"Making the capabilities of the cloaking last longer it does have a pretty big recharging time."
"How long?"
"Depends, if you stay cloaked the whole time limit, then it is about three minutes to recharge. And I guess you could figure out the rest for yourself."
"Thanks for the upgrade though. Clancy it's time to hit the road."
"Alrighty then."
We got to the top of a building across the street from the bank.
"Race ya down."
"Go."
I jumped off the building a split-second before Marcus did and that met that I got down first.
"Cloaking up."
"Watch yourself, remember what Arny said."
Marcus turned his cloaking device off.
"Looks like we're doing this the old fashioned way."
Marcus opened the door to the bank and dove behind a pillar. Real good that's gunna do, we walked in the front door. We can't get more obvious then that.
He gives me the sign and I jump up and charge the front desk where the criminal is.
Is that... That's Ember. Dang it we put him in jail right before he left and he's out the moment we get back. Good thing he has his back turned.
"Knock knock."
Come on Marcus whatever happened to the element of surprise?
"Huh? Oh no, not you too again."
"Where here to stop you... again."
"Good luck, I have mastered my powers. I have full control of flame and you don't want to get to close or you might get burnt."
Marcus looked at me and nodded. What the heck is he doing now.
He reaches for his wrist and turns his cloaking device on. Ember shoots flame at where he was. I start shooting at Ember and the bullets just deflect like they where rubber. Ember suddenly falls to the ground and the glass of his helmet broke. He dizzily finds his way back up to his feet.
"COWARD! You have to fight me when I can't see you."
"Okay then."
Marcus turns off his cloaking device midair and kicks Ember in the head.
"See me now? Of course you don't you have stars ciclin' around your head like a cartoon."
Ember didn't move, I guess that hit knocked him out cold.
"Seems like you've been watching to many comedy shows."
"Maybe. You too can get up now, this idiot won't mess with you anymore."
"Thank you guys so much."
"Ya, ya thanks."
"You know what? It seems like I've seen you guys before."
"Huh weird, I think we would remember seeing you guys."
"Anyways, see you guys, we gotta get out of here."
"Arny you could have told us that this was one of Ember's jobs."
"I didn't know or I would have told you."
"Anything else you got for us?"
"Nope, not now."
