At the same time when Syd, Jody, Toshi, and Roxxy went into the market.
something equally important happens at the street on the opposite side of the market, appears a couple of man and woman.Both wear a black suit and laid their backs against the wall.
The woman is staring at her phone screen.
The man is glaring at the crowd of people.
It looks like they've just arrived.
“ Hey, let me look at that picture again.”
‘Fitz’, the Swedish man, asked his partner.
“Here.”
‘Soo-Min’, the Korean woman, lent him a phone.
[https://i.imgur.com/MwYoPat.jpg]
“Today is more crowded than usual though.”
He implied.
“ Yeah. I agree... Where do all these people come out of sudden? As if the market has a big sale or something...”
“ This girl looks so ordinary, It's not gonna be easy to find...”
He said.
Soo-Min then argued.
“..Not at all. Look at her eyes. They're different colors. That's enough to distinguish her from others.”
“ What if she wears sunglasses?”
“ .... ”
The Korean woman didn't reply.
“ Right...you got a point. Boss said this girl is not like people at her age. He said she got some guts and warned us that we could be fooled by her.”
Fitz twisted his eyebrows.
“ You're gonna believe that?”
He asked.
“ Well, Kids these days are smarter than our generation. They use the innocent look on their face to distract us from their outsmarting.”
She continues,
“ Don't you see in the movie? One of the most frustrated types of characters is a smartass brat. Have you watched the 2009 movie ‘Orphan’? ”
“ Starring Isabelle Fuhrman? ”
“ Yeah. Who knows? This girl probably is like that.”
“ Damn...then it must be hard as fuck to handle...Hey…but isn't that bitch like... 30-year-old woman in kid's body?”
Fitz asked.
“ Doesn't make any difference. Boss had already paid us and we must complete our job as soon as possible.”
“ ... You're right...Let's go.”
Fitz and Soo-Min walked into the market entrance from the other side, this is the same time those 4 took a step.

In the cake store.
Sally finished a desert she ordered, she took out the money, paid the bill and walked out of the store.
Before that she checked her hat and sunglasses, making sure she's undercover.
“ Although I got more than enough money for today, I don't really know what will happen tomorrow. Better look for another wallet ...to reassure.”
She walked back into the crowd of people... looking for another prey...
“... This uncle is poorly dressed... That woman looks so ordinary...Hmm..?”
Sally spots a group of teenagers.
A brown hair man, He's well-dressed, wearing a red shirt.
He's walking with the other 3 of his friends, the blue hair boy is Asian definitely, A blonde hair chick, and a girl who seems to be the youngest.
“ This is it.”
She grins.
“They looked like a group of rich kids. They must have a lot in their wallets.”
Sally finally chooses a prey.
She pretends to go near them but doesn't make it too obvious.
(...This time I won't use the same trick I pull on that old couple... Teenagers have no sympathy… I'll use the flash picking instead...)
She thought.
Sally walked passed Syd Barrett.
The time flows in slow motion... He's wearing black trousers, but the shape of his wallet still appears under the cloth.
So...no need to use the ability this time...
Sally's hand, as flexible as a snake, rapidly went into Syd Barrett's trouser pocket.
(... Gotcha...)
Not for long, his wallet is in her hand.
Sally grins.
But there's no time for celebrating.
they're going to complete passing each other in any seconds now.
Sally pulls her hand back and keeps them (also the wallet) back into her thick coat.
(... Easy... But they look like they're on to something... Huh... It doesn't matter...Anyway ...thanks for your wallet...brother.)
She keeps walking away from them as fast as possible. Although they can't see her because she's already behind them, it is a better choice to get the fuck out of there.
Sally thinks this is already enough for today. She is considering what stuff she should buy next... Unfortunately...that thought doesn't last for long...
Because she feels something is pulling her back... From inside the coat she just put Syd's wallet in.
“ What the...”
She turns her head back... And sees that there's a thin “Trimmer Line” hanging out from her coat down to the ground along the way behind her back.
“ !!! ”
she realized, but It is too late.
One end of the trimmer line is in
Syd Barrett's hand.
He's holding it and looking to Sally's way.
“... Uh...oh...”
“What the fuck you think you're doing?”
He asked.
A drop of sweat runs down from Sally's forehead.
(... Oh...shit...)
Not only Syd is looking at her, but all of his friends.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
“ Syd? What is it?”
Jody asked.
“ Looks like I just got pickpocket, Jody.”
Syd replied without gazing away from Sally.
Suddenly, Sally turns her face back and starts to run away in panic.
But...he doesn't let Sally do that... He's faster... And moreover, stronger than her.
1 slightly pull from Syd is enough to drag Sally's entire body back to him.
She instantly slipped down to the ground.
While being dragged, Sally takes out his wallet from her coat and is about to throw it away to distract him so that he will move his concentration to his wallet and let go of her...she found the answer to what has led her to this situation.
“ WHO THE HELL ON EARTH TIE A STRING TO HIS WALLET ?! ”
She's about to throw it away...However, We can't sleep on the fact that she is just a kid.
Her brain and her action are too slow compare to Syd Barrett.
He finally got her.
“ You... ”
Sally is shaking... She's heavily panting right now...
(... He's scary... He's very scary...What should I do?!...)
She can't even resist... He's too strong...
This is the end... Sally closed her eyes and shaking... She doesn't have any idea what he will do to her...
Syd held on her coat and took his wallet out of her hand.
“ What the hell you think you're doing? Like, for real? A pickpocket?... I mean... the world changes a lot these days but I didn't expect a young pickpocket...”
He keeps the wallet back inside his trousers.
And pulls out a lot of banknotes.
“ Shit..... Toshi, look at this 1,000
pounds she got.”
For some reason, Not only Syd's wallet but also all of Sally's money... They're all in his hand.
“ Heh? ”
Sally opened her eyes.
(... What the?... When did he take my money out??... I didn't feel anything?!....??? )
She then realized... The only reason Syd can take her money without being noticed ...is that...
(... This man...! He's also a pickpocket?! Like me?!?!?! ...)
Sally was blown away. Completely blown away...
(... No... Not only that... His skill is even better than mine?!...)
She does nothing but standing there, freezing... She's completely surrounded.
[https://i.imgur.com/Ekb8W6Zr.jpg]
“ Ho, Ain't that too much for a kid to carry? ”
Toshi asked.
“ Unbelievable... A pickpocket at this age? ”
Jody said.
“....”
Sally has no choice left but to pull up her last trump card.
‘ The Innocent Act ’
“...*Sob*...*Sob*... *Sob*...”
Tears falling down from both of her eyes.
“ I-I -I'm so sorry...brother... I… I…I'm just hungry... If I don't do that...*Sob* ... Then I- *Sob*....”
Sally wiped her fake tears.
However...
Her plan is rapidly destroyed by Toshi Ishii.
“ Hey, Kid. If you're gonna cry, then act like one. You can't fool me. I see through all your emotions, girl... Do you really think we will go easy on you just because you are a kid?”
He said.
What a stupid idea trying to fool the person that has the ability to disguise as another person.
This time Sally knew...
She fucked up.
This man right here is an even better pickpocket than her...another man is an actor...
She can't fool them... in the first place...
“ Look, You trying to fool us twice...You got some motherfucking nerve, Brat.”
Roxxy said.
Syd holds Roxxy, then he speaks.
“ Listen Carefully, Bitch. If we were here on our vacation, You'll get your ass beaten by now. But because today we are in something very important. We don't have time to waste with people like you. I'm not a pickpocket but that doesn't mean I don't know how to pickpocket. ...So...All this money you stole... Is mine now.”
Syd then put all Sally's money in his pocket.
“ Now get the fuck out.”
Syd stands up and chases her away.
“ Wait! ”
“?!...”
Jody, out of sudden, asked everyone to stop.
“... What is it?....”
Roxxy asked Her.
Jody slowly approached Sally.
She seems like she didn't sure about the thing in her mind...
“ What, Jody? What's with this kid? Did she also steal your wallet?”
Syd asked, but that's not the point at all.
Sally wants to get the hell out of here...she's crying for her life but Toshi is holding Sally from behind...so...No escape at all.
“ No...Syd... But...”
Jody took off Sally's sunglasses, Revealing her different eye color to everyone.
!?!?!?
They're all shocked...
“ Different eye color?!... This child got a different eye color?!...”
Roxxy said.
Jody didn't stop there, she also takes off Sally's french hat... Revealing her short orange hair...
!?!?!?
“ T-This hair color?!... ”
Toshi realized, he finally knows what Jody tries to do!
Syd holds her collar even tighter and asked...
“ Hey... I'm gonna ask you. If you lied... You will get your ass beaten. Understand??”
With his voice, with his face, It scares Sally.
She never encounters such a scary-looking man like Syd before...
That makes Sally nods quickly.
“ Is your name ... Sally Salmacis? ”
?!?!?!...
Her eyes are widely open.
She lifted her face up in confusion.
“...?!...”
(.... D...Don't tell me that... ‘They’ are all...Monter??? )
Sally's expression going even worse.
The anxiety...fear...stress...all forming up inside Sally.
This is even worse than being caught that she's a pickpocket...
She had already run away from ‘Monter’ once, now they finally catch up to her???
In contrast, The anger on Syd Barrett's face fades out, replace with his grinning instead.
Toshi took out his phone, opened the image, and compare it to this girl.
“ SHE'S SALLY! THIS IS HER!”
He said.
“ Looks like we are extremely lucky today, Jody... She is Sally Salmacis...definitely... How did you know?”
Syd asked Jody.
“ I don't know... It just... Something inside my head told me that this girl had something suspicious...”
Syd turns back to Sally.
“ Okay. Sally... I change my mind now.
It seems to be a little bit forced but you are coming with us.”
“?!”
Sally tries to resist. She immediately activates her ability ‘GoldenEye’
Once she scanning Toshi Ishii, Sally then sees that...
(... Crap! He's got a gun?!...)
She's breathing heavily.
(... I should run... I -I should run away from them!!! I should get out of here! )
But She couldn't move her legs.
As she gazed down, Sally saw that her legs are frozen by an Ice.
!!!!???
That makes her eyes widened.
(... My legs got froze?!....)
Because Roxxy, over there, saw Sally's eyes glowing in yellow. She doesn't know what that was but one thing she can do is not to let this girl run away.
“ SYD! TOSHI! Be careful! I saw her eyes glow in yellow... I don't know what she's gonna do! But She's definitely the ability user! ”
Roxxy said.
(... All these Ice... It's hers!?...)
Sally is struggling.
Suddenly, Toshi taped her mouth, he brought out the sack and put it on Sally's head.
“ Gotcha.”
Syd then carries this little child up with only one of his arms. Like he's holding a bag of potato.
“MMMmMmMmMMMmmmMMMmMmmmmmmmmMMmMMMMMmmmm
MmmMmmmmmMmmmmmMmMMm”
[ PLEASE LET GO OF ME!... I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! I DON'T WANNA GO BACK TO THE LAB!!! PLEASE !!! ]
Because of the tape on her mouth, the message didn't get sent to them.
“ Mmmmm! ”
[ GoldenEye ]
Sally activated her ability again, She sees through the sack that is covering her head.
Roxxy pressed on the AirPods.
“Mickey we've got her. Prepare to get outta here.”
After reported to Mickey, Roxxy turned back to Syd.
“ This little girl has something with her eyes. I saw it, her eyes were glowing in yellow. Toshi made a good decision putting a sack on her head.”
“ I always make a good decision, Paethai.”
Toshi claimed.
“ Shut the fuck up, I'm talking to him.”
Roxxy quickly cuts him off.
“....”
He became lifeless.
Jody gently taps on Toshi's shoulder.
Everything seems to go on well...until...
“ !?!?...”
While running, something has dropped down from the sky... And directly penetrates through Syd's shoe...
Everyone sees that, include Sally (she sees through her ability)… they were stunned.
“....”
“....”
“....”
Blood slowly leaking out of his feet...
“?!.... What the....?”
Jody observed in shock.
“ Hggg?!.... ”
The pain running up his body... Causing him to lose the balance, but he can still bear it.
“... What is that??....”
Toshi asked.
Syd lifted his face up to the shy...
And he saw a ‘Car’ is falling down to him.
“ MOTHERFUCK-?!...”
With their reflexes, Syd (with Sally in his arm) and Toshi jump out of the way, Jody and Roxxy jump in another way.
This big car does separate 4 of them out to 2:2, destroying all of the stuff around there and shocking the crowd of people...
Sally rolls out of Syd's arm, she took off the sack and tape on her mouth...
(... This is the chance!!! This is the chance to get away from them!! )
But once Sally is about to step out of there, Syd Barrett pulls her collar back, Making her body fly back to him.
What more shock is that once she realized why he did that, The big sharp ‘nail’ is passing down in front of her face and pins down to the ground.
This means If she didn't stop, If Syd didn't pull her back...it will definitely penetrate through her skull...and she'll die.
“ This nail... It's coming from the sky either??.... What the hell is happening?!...”
Toshi said in confusion.
“ The Enemy! They've already here!!! ”
Syd said.
He quickly pulls Sally closer to him...
“ Listen, Brat. If you don't wanna die. Do as I say and we'll get out of this... Understand??...”
Sally nods, but that isn't enough for Syd.
“ Let me hear you say ‘I got it.’ ”
“... I got it!! ”
Because of fear, she quickly becomes obedient.
Around the corner of the market, people are running away in chaos because of what just happened.
‘Fitz’ is observing Syd, Toshi, and Sally from the 10 meters away.
“ Tch...almost got them... They have good reflex... So they are like us...”
He bit his lips.
.
.
.
.
.
On the girl's side...
“ Where did it come from?!... Out of the clear sky??... How?!...”
Roxxy asked, but no one knows. Once she and Jody lifted their faces up...they saw a Korean ‘Woman’ with a brown and blue shade of hair was standing in front of them.
Needless to say, they immediately know that this woman in a black suit is their enemy for sure.
“ Jeez, Almost lost that kid to you guys huh? ”
Soo-Min said.
“... Who the hell is she?”
Jody asked the only allies she's with, Roxxy, but as she turns her face to Syd's little sister... Jody is even more shocked...
Because right now, the expression on Roxxy's face is ripping off her beautiful image...
She's ANGRY... Seriously Angry that Jody sees a nerve on Roxxy's face.
[https://i.imgur.com/pKljMCHr.jpg]
“ HOW DARE YOU HURT MY BROTHER, YOU FILTHY WHORE?! ”
She speaks in an intense voice.
“ I FUCKING KILL YOU !!!!”
That's Roxxy's last intense line before she instantly shut her mouth up
That makes Jody confused even more.
Like she's changing into another person.
However...
Roxxy went silent for a seconds before she came back to normal Roxxy...
“ Huh....*gasp*... Almost... I almost lose myself... I almost let anger take control of my body...”
She said.
Jody gently taps her hand on Roxxy's shoulder.
“ We'll kill this fucking bitch.”
She lifted up the air bullets on her finger.
Roxxy still doesn't really trust Jody... But now the situation forces them to cooperate.
She takes a deep breath before reply Jody back...
“ Of course we will....”
