...: Are you sure you still stubborn to look for him, Alicia? It's already three years girl,give up.

One teenage boy in Inviso suit just stare at the Neuro girl who was still looking over a map with many 'X's around it.

Alicia: Shut up Rudy,we need  IRIS, remember? Leader's order. What if our enemy found it first?

Rudy just rolled his eyes while looking over their other friends. Iman just stare at the hologram and Khai is petting R-O.

Rudy: Then we fight. What else?

Alicia:*roll eyes* Ugh....For the next core leader in training, you're hopeless.

Alicia sits on her chair and scroll down the map.

Alicia: Look,he was still our friend,okay? And I believe he just need some time alone. He had been betrayed by Niki, he was an orphan now. Without anyone with him...*sigh* He need help...

Iman: But he ran away from us... Maybe because he doesn't want our help?

Khai: Maybe he felt guilty for being the reason why the rebel attack happened...

Rudy: Or maybe he was just a coward and cannot handle the truth.

Alicia:*kick Rudy's shin under the table* One more word from your stupid mouth I will replace you with Zass or Moon as the next Inviso leader in training. *Glared*

Khai: Oh, I think I might have something that maybe can help us in this situation.

Khai turn on his hologram site. It is a CCTV recording.

Iman: What is that?

Khai: Okay,so as you can see,this is a CCTV recording of an abandoned place,at the very close near the gate.

Rudy: That place has been abandoned for years. Even before the incident.

Khai: Yes and I just recently got a hold onto it.

Alicia: Interesting....So what did you get?

Khai: Nothing yet but if I am the most wanted fugitive in the city,I would at least visit this kind of place.*shrug*

Alicia:*sigh* Well,good job finding that place. At least we knew where to start looking again.

Rudy: I still did not get it on why do you still want to find him.

Alicia: He's a friend who needs help,Rudy.

Rudy: Oh,for the sake of- He left Alicia! It was very clear he doesn't want to be seen anymore why can't you understand that?! Okay fine,as a teammate,I do know how he felt back three years ago. His dad died in the attack and now he is alone. But clearly if he want anything to do with us he would show up at his father's funeral!

Alicia: But-

Rudy: I know what all of you felt. You want to help him,let him know that you're with him. But now,it was clear he doesn't want any of the help. Plus,what do you think will happen if MATA found him,huh? He's a freaking fugitive and will be end up in a jail if they found him!

The other trainee are silent.

Rudy:*sigh**deep breath* Look,I... respected him as a teammate,okay? But now,the way to help is to not search for him. He still a fugitive and will end up in a jail alone. If you ask me, that's not a fun way to live your life.

Khai: Well...Better be alone freely than alone in jail I guess.

Rudy: See what I mean now,Alicia? I knew you just trying to help him and at the same time fulfill the leaders request,but sometimes you have to think outside of your mind. 

Alicia sigh before leaning back to her chair,rubbing her forehead.

Being the next in line core leader is sure tiring.

Back at  Cyberraya,in the middle of the night, Ali is sitting near the edge of a high  building,looking down at the city full of lights below.

He doesn't have the feeling to go home tonight.

So he just lingering around the city, minding his own business.

Ali: Ugh,I'm bored...*sway his legs*

Ali stand up and start to walk near the edge.

Bet if anyone see him right now they would straight up call the police.

But hey,he always did this often so yeah.

Not like he care anyway.

Being bored, he activated his aeroboost boots and started to jump from the high building.

He perfectly landed on another building and didn't stop there. He kept running and jump onto another building. Feeling the night breeze make him happy.

He feels free.

He laugh as his feet almost slip the last building he jump. He managed to grip the ledge and pull himself up.

Ali:*laugh* Haha! Now that was fun. *look aside* Might as well make myself fall for real next time.

Seriously, what's wrong with this kid....?

Ali let himself falls again before gripping the metal fence and make a backflip,landing safely on top of a dumpster.

Yeah,jumping from building to building is exhalerating, but tire his legs.

Ali:*stretch* Ummmmh! Well, time to rest for the night now. Fun's over.

With that, he skipped out of the way and happily walk back to where he came from. 

His safeplace.

His freedom.
