[Flashback]
This happened around 12 years ago, before Kelion Prime ever blew up, this takes place in earth where a loving family of four were sitting together at the dinner table eating happily, it was little Mary and her older sister Angela who was around two years older than her sat next to her and passing her vegetables to Mary's plate and she starts her tantrums.
Mary (irritated)
Mommy! Angela keeps putting her veggies on my plate tell her to stop.
Angela
I'm simply sharing my food with my little sister.
The man and woman eating opposite them both were wearing lab coats eating hurriedly for some reason.
Natalie.
The project is due tomorrow Paul, have finished the report. (To Angela) Stop bullying your sister Angie.
Angela
Kay. (she sticks her tongue out to Mary, who did the same right back to her.)
Paul
Yes, the report is almost done just adding finishing touches.
Natalie
Don't overexaggerate anything just stick to the main talking points.
Paul
I know how to write a report.
Natalie
Unlike last time.
Paul (irritated)
It was an accident alright!
Angela (angry)
Mommy! Daddy! Stop fighting!
The parents look at their their children their faces full of remorse and shame and Mary becoming teary eyed. Natalie hugs them ensuring them everything is alright.
Natalie (smiling)
Don't worry, Mommy and daddy are not fighting. Were just having a passionate discussion.
At night while the kids were tucked in and asleep the parents had wine at the dining table.
Paul
I can't believe we did that in front of the kids.
Natalie
We need to slow down, we're treating everywhere with go into a workplace, we need a break.
He puts down his wine glass and takes up his wife's arms and they both start swaying side to side in a romantic manner.
Paul
After our project and presentation tomorrow, we're not only gonna get that promotion but as much leave as possible, so we can stay with the kids. Isn't that better were almost there, just hang in there a little longer.
Natalie
I'm not sure how much more I take this.
Paul
Just take them to your sister tomorrow and by night fall we will be fully fledged parents.
How does that sound.
Natalie (smiling)
Sounds good to me.
That was a night to remember the following night while the girls were at their auntie's house and it was getting really late. Tina, Natalie's sister was taking care of them at the time.
Tina comes in the living room and tries to persuade the kids to go to sleep.
Tina
Alright ladies your parents aren't coming right now take a shower and go to sleep.
Mary (pleading)
Just a few more minutes, please aunty Tina
Tina
Sorry sweetie, but its almost 11, you'll see your parents tomorrow, okay.
Mary (sadly)
Fine.
Deep in the night while they were asleep Mary woke up to loud sounds, she was panicking in a cold sweat.
BANG!! BANG!!
Luckily her sister came in took her from the bed and made her hush by placing her finger on her lips.
Angela (whispering)
We are going to play a little game of hide and seek. Aunty Tina has already started looking for us so hide under the bed and she won't find you.
She puts her under the bed and makes sure the covers have completely hidden here. She then holds her big sister's hand firmly teary eyed.
Mary
It dark and I'm scared.
Angela kisses her on the forehead.
Angela
Don't worry I'll only be gone for a short time, and remember not to come out until aunty Tina or me come to find you alright?
She nods and places noise cancelling headphones on her and heads out.
At the living room there's a mess of blood as Angela saw her dead aunt at the couch she takes a knife in those little shaky hands and goes towards the muggers pretending not to be scared.
Angela
I--I already called 911 the police are on there way here.
Mugger 2
Do you think we can use this one, she has balls I tell you.
Mugger 1
We don't have much time let's kill her and be done with.
Hours later Mary was found by a police officer and safely taken to her parents who were already crying tears of joy finding their daughter, unfortunately Angela's body was never found.
----End of flasback----
Present day.
Pyro enters his leaving room and finds his friends sitting at the couch looking like they waited for him for a long time.
Pyro
Uh, what's going on here?
Sara
I'm going to pick up Jon, looks like you guys need to have a talk, I'll be back a little later.
She leaves the awkward teens to deal with their drama.
Mary gets up teary eyed and hugs Pyro tightly not wanting to let go. A confused Pyro hugs her back.
Pyro
Uh, nice to see you too. Are you okay?
She let's go wiping a tear from her eye.
Mary
I thought I lost you.
Tim makes his presence known to them.
Tim
Mother, Father I'm also here.
Pyro daps him up.
Pyro
I know, it's not that I'm not happy to see you but what are you doing here?
Tim
Can't a friend visit another friend and check on him.
Pyro
I'm pretty sure you have questions so I'll do my best to answer them.
Tim
Don't mind if I do.
Mary (to Tim)
Are you serious right now bro?
Tim
He offered and I'm just endulging myself.
Pyro
It's fine I walked into that one anyway.
After almost half an hour or reintroduction and knowing other planet life exists and tons of Q and A they were bamboozled as to who he truly is.
Tim
Damn, I feel so small right now, like we're staring at an alien lifeform in front of us.
Mary (sarcastic)
Why don't you bow down while you're at it.
Tim
Oh shit you're right.
Pyro
Please stop, that's no longer who I am anymore.
Mary now gains a serious expression on her face.
Mary
Pyro, do you have any ties to the government.
Pyro
Kind of, why?
Mary
Since, there should be no secrets between us, you need to know.
She narrates the story of how she narrowly escaped death, her aunts death and how her sister went missing, all those years ago, with tears in her eyes.
Tim
That's messed up, I'm so sorry.
Pyro
Yeah, I'm so sorry Mary.
She regains her composure.
Mary
the police ruled her case as dead after a few months, even my parents gave up hope
It's fine, I just need to know if she's alive or or --- (she breaks down again)
Pyro
I don't have strong ties right now or any of it for the matter (he pauses then realizes)
There's someone I can call but Mary, you have to be prepared for---
Mary
I know, I know, I'll be fine I promise.
Tim
I think we've talked enough for today. He helps Mary to her feet and they leave.
Pyro goes to his room and pulls out the business card Elias gave him and dials the number it picks almost instantly.
Elias
Pyro, my man, I knew you'd call me sooner rather than later, what's up.
Pyro
How did you know I was behind the line.
Elias
Mainly because you're the only one I gave my business card to.
Pyro
I'm really not in the mood for games right now, but can you find someone for me?
Elias
Give me a name and how long they've been missing.
Pyro
Angela Onyango, she's been missing for almost 12 years.
Elias
Damn, that's like finding a needle in a haystack.
Pyro
Can you do it or not.
Elias
I most definitely can, but let me remind you the best case scenario is 'if' we find her alive
and worst case---
Pyro
I know.
Elias
Now that's out of the way, you know what I want in return.
Pyro
Sara, Nelson and Brittany. I need these people looking over the contract and saying its okay for me to sign.
Elias
Perfect, that's all I need.
Pyro
So, we have a deal?
Elias
The second you mentioned her name the people in the Kenyan Pentagon have been working non stop to find her, this is a huge haystack, but I have over thousands of people looking with gigantic magnifying glasses, we will find her.
Pyro
Am I on speaker?
Elias
Ta, ta, now we'll inform you when we find her. (line disconnects)
Pyro
Unbelievable.
The sound of the door unlocking could be heard and Sara comes in with Jon and immediately hugs his brother.
Jon
Fly with me! Fly with me!
He smiles and hugs his little brother.
Pyro
Not right now. Go get cleaned up.
He runs to the bathroom.
Sara
You should have seen him in school, I found three little girls just braiding his hair for no apparent reason.
Pyro
He'll be fine.
Sara (Jokingly)
I blame you for this.
Pyro gets in his serious mode.
Pyro
Can we talk a little.
Sara
Yeah.
Pyro
Hear me out, before you get mad. Okay look
He explains all that happened in the last hour and Sara listens attentively.
Pyro
Wait you don't look mad, are you mad?
Sara
No, although I wish I was, you always have good reasons to do what you're doing, and it makes me upset that you're not enjoying teen life, you're supposed to be worrying about exams and girls, not missing persons cases.
Pyro
I'm sorry that ship has longed sailed away ever since I arrived in this planet, it was just a matter of how long it'd be peaceful until it went upside down.
Sara
Life's unfair I guess. By the way you open school in a week so get your things in order.
Pyro
Damn.
For the past 6 days Pyro has been helping around city, stopping bank robberies, high speed chases and one time he even lands a plane, he cames home during the evening getting ready for school the next day.
During the night while he's asleep his ringtone wakes him up and answers it.
Pyro
The hell Elias, it's almost 1am.
Elias
You need to be here now kid, we found her. I'm sending a car to your location.
He teleports in front of him
Pyro
No need.
Elias (confused)
How?!
Pyro
It really bugged me at first, when you said you've been monitoring me at first, since I never let anyone or anything sneak on me, then I came to the realization that it's not me, it's the satelight, so I had to trace which one your using with this call and finally trace it then 'Presto' here I am.
Elias
Have I ever said you're too smart.
Pyro
Enough, what did you find out?
Elias
Right, come with me.
Unfortunately this wasn't the time for sightseeing so he didn't see much just that he was taken in a room looking almost like a cinema, the only difference was that everyone had a computer with them and typing furiously. A man in glasses comes to fetch Elias.
Donald
Sir, we've found her, this way.
Pyro
Damn, you were not lying when you said Everyman on the job,
Pyro
I'm very good at my job.
Donald (yells)
Share screen. All of a sudden the large screen in front of them it was a map and there's a red circular dot resting at some corner.
Pyro
Why is it always a warehouse at the docking stations? The crowd focuses on him.
Elias (shouts)
Ask him to take a picture with you later, we're on the clock people. (To Pyro) you've made quite the reputation over the past week.
Pyro
It's nothing special really.
Elias
Well let's do our best.
Donald
This is going to be a simple search and rescue mission, we infiltrate and rescue, only after when the kids are safe do we bust down and arrest the traffickers. The main target (The screen shows a picture of a young girl no older than 18) we get her out safely and discreetly those chosen to go in the field first head to the minister's office we leave in 30 go!
In the minister's office there were around 10 spies excluding Donald for the mission debrief.
Elias
I know some of you are confused as to why you're here so without wasting time, let me introduce you to Pyro your team leader.
Everyone in the room Pyro included looked at Elias in complete and utter shock and disbelief.
