Elmer's Supermarket, Belle City, 10:50a.m

Raphael and Henry stood outside of the supermarket as they waited for Celcus to meet up with them. Earlier, Raphael had called Celcus and asked if they could meet up some place. Celcus suggested the supermarket. Raphael thought about why Celcus would choose somewhere like the supermarket when it was so busy, and there were so many people around. But the busier, the better because Celcus couldn't try anything in public.

There was a cool breeze in the air and the autumn leaves twirled in the wind as if there were a tornado passing by. The wind was just another rustling sound in Raphael and Henry's ears. The people passing by were rushing by like there was only a little time left to live. Some of them were talking on their phones and couldn't care less while the rest of the world didn't have a second to spare. It had almost been ten minutes and there were no signs of Celcus showing up.

"He's not coming." Henry fussed, his voice wrestling with the wind and the sounds of the noisy car horns in the distance.

Henry wasn't the only one who was beginning to give up hope, for Raphael was starting to get a little bit anxious. "Let's just give him another minute or two."

Just as Raphael spoke, they noticed a blue and white helicopter in the sky. The door suddenly opened and Celcus stood there with a megaphone in his hand. He looked around until he finally spotted Raphael and Henry. "There you are," he breathed into the megaphone, "The two little T.E.R.S.E. agents. Where's that other agent girl you're always with? She works with R.O.S.S. Headquarters, isn't that right?" He chuckled a wicked laugh.

As he spoke, the news people had already got there and started to video what was happening, and the other people in the crowd did the same with their phones. This was already all over the internet and social media.

R.O.S.S. Headquarters, Belle City, 11:21a.m

Denella paced back and forth in front of the TV and waited for Brandon to show up. Apparently he was in the bathroom and she needed to tell him about what was happening. How did Celcus know about her? And Celcus said where they worked at on live TV. One of the main rules about being undercover was to be undercover.

Brandon approached her. "Denella, Celcus is at Elmer's Supermarket because he was supposed to meet up with some agents from T.E.R.S.E. Headquarters. I traced that agent's phone. I think his name is Ralph or something like that."
