Once they were settled at the beach house, Ciaran immediately
went to the computer located in his room. He worked the machine,
completely engrossed in it for about twenty minutes before
coming out with something in his hand. It was a new set of
wristbands for Faith. He placed them on his wrists before taking
off the old one. "These will limit your power the proper way."
He tapped the one of his left wrist. "You'll be able to use your
powers at will now. This band will prevent accidental outbursts
like the one from your childhood. The one on the right, is an
amperage limiter. It will stop you from releasing any more than
a certain amount of power at once. For now, let's keep it on the
lowest level, But we're going to train together while we're
here, and the more control you get, the more we'll increase the
level, until you can remove it all together."
"First things first." He said. While he appeared more relaxed
than normal, there was still a businesslike air about him.
"Cammy, Ziya." Once both had arrived at his side, he put a key
in Cambria's hand. "Faith and Ziya will be needing clothes for
our stay here. Take the car out to make sure they get them. Of
course, there was a reason she was the one to get the keys.
Cammy was always the first to know what was going on. It was her
job to take them to a particular shopping point.
He wouldn't give Cammy the Credit card though. He instead put
that in Ziya's hand. She was much better when it came to
managing money. A credit card in Cambria's hand was a
catastrophe waiting to happen. "The two of you pick out 5 days
worth of clothes. Enjoy! Of course, Ziya understood that "Enjoy"
didn't mean to go wild. There was still more to do. The Twins
had an assignment as well. Things were about to get interesting.
It was just a matter of time...

This man always took caution with me , but I guess it was to be
expected . Faith listen to Ciaran explain the details about the
new set of cuffs . He explain in more detail why he would have
to wear these cuffs for an long period of time. In prison ,
while the darkness slowly strip his eye sight away he did manage
to practice when the batteries on the cuffs where overcharge .
Even with the prison break the trust wasn't there .
Shopping, those words never whisper in his ear sense he was a
child. to have new clothes on his back would be something he
would have to adjust to also . Faith Slowly grip his shirt ,
42764 , the number that was branded on his shirt .The number all
the guards called him and some of the inmates .Faith was the
only thing he had left and the only thing he held on to . How
would he feel having these torn clothes off his back . It was
like a second skin to him. To be strip of flesh would hurt.
From a plane to a car , Faith slowly started to creep backwards
towards the door where he was staying . His feet platted the
ground so he knew where he was at all times. He hate planes but
he hated cars even more . The random turning , breaking ,
accelerating,the honking plus the abilitie would equal an
outburst that no one was ready for . "Ummm I think I be fine
with the cloths on my back , but that you anyway " .But if he
had to go he hope that these new cuffs was up to the taste like
Ciaran said

Ziya turned her head toward Ciaran before looking to Cam and
Faith. When did she get labeled the money handler? Yes, she did
know how to shop without breaking the bank but she did not know
why her boss trusted her over the original assistant he had.
"Where are the twins Ciaran? I don't think your 'family' would
be complete without your favorite pets." Deep lily coloured eyes
turn toward Cam and hold a secret smile.
"If you are uncomfortable going with us Faith, you can stay
behind. I will not force you do something that you do not want
to do. But if I may, do you mind if I try to take your
measurements? I would like you to have the option to wear
something other than the jail uniform." Her voice calm and level
as she stands next to him with a smile invisible to him. "If
not, I will buy something that I think will fit you but that
will also be optional for you to wear. I just want you to be
comfortable while you are with us."

Cam noted Ciaran's comment and simply inclined her head to show
acknowledgment but she also dramatically huffed to reinforce her
role as a challenging teen. With a roll of her eyes, she turned
her head towards the plane window and fell silent. The sea below
was endless; so it seemed. Before long, a tropical island, that
really looked like one huge city, slipped into a view much too
large for one plane window to completely contain.
Ziya's comment didn't go unnoticed but all Cambria did in
response was purse her lips. The ploy appeared to be working
however, it bothered her that other people had been assigned to
first class when she had booked it privately. Once landed, she
immediately drew out a galaxy s5 phone. The airline website
would not accept her login or password; how odd!
Following Ziya, Cam placed her phone in her front pocket and
climbed into the cab after her. It was lovely here, especially
with shirtless tanned men walking on the streets. Gently, she
nudged Ziya's elbow and grinned. Hawaii had a great gene pool
indeed! Her eyes then trailed to Ciaran and the smile chipped
away then her gaze maneuvered out the windows once more.
The entire time they were getting things arranged at the hotel
and then moving to the beach house, the woman was engrossed in
her phone. It was all she could do was to keep things running
back home. There was already business to be discussed with
Ciaran but it would all have to wait until later.
"Wait, what!?" She looked up from her phone. "No credit card?
I've changed from my going shopping crazy days! Honest! See
these shoes?"
With her index finger, she pointed to a pair of designer flip
flops on her feet.
"Five percent off," she said holding up five fingers to
reinforce the importance of the number.
"Five, " she whispered.
Cam glanced over to Ziya as if expecting her to reason with the
man but she quickly gave it up and took the key he handed her.
Ziya's comment about the twins created a small smirk along her
lips but she didn't comment further in fear that she was already
walking a fine line with the credit card outburst.
Ciaran was more serious than not but it was difficult not to be
when his life revolved around business. It was hard to read him.
"If you interested in going with us, Faith, I can go retrieve a
nice outfit from Ciaran's closet for you to wear to town," she
suggested, her eyes on Ciaran seeking permission.

Faith's hesitancy to get back into a car was understandable. But
remaining in his prison clothes was not an option. "I'm afraid
you'll stick out a little too much wearing your prison
clothing." He told Faith. "New clothes are mandatory." He was
going to recommend that the girls could pick up some new clothes
for him, but before the words could even escape his lips, Ziya
spoke up and offered for him, being sure even, to take his
measurements first. That was the initiative he liked to see! He
gave the woman an approving nod before turning back to Faith.
"If you're adamant about not traveling with Cammy and Ziya, how
about you stay here with me and we'll start your first training
session?" He was hesitant to send those two on a shopping trip
alone, but if nothing else, he trusted Ziya's business sense.
Narrow eyes shot toward Ziya when she asked about the twins,
indication that he was growing tired of the "Pet" jokes. Both
Ziya and Cammy had a tendency to forget who signed their
paychecks. Perhaps a group training session was in order.
Employees should learn when it was and wasn't acceptable to joke
with their employers. "Blaire and Blaise are working on an
assignment of their own right now." More accurately, Blaise was
working on the assignment. Blaire was slacking off as usual.
"I'm sure both local and National News are lighting up about
Faith's escape by now. They'll be scanning any and all sources
to get an understanding of how much information authorities
have. Also, They'll be checking for any news pertaining to our
"Company Retreat.""
Any information they found would be processed and put to use. It
was fortunate that Blaise was so loyal. her ability had been of
use to him on several occasions. In fact, it was the reason he
had picked up the twins in the first place.
Crimson colored eyes settled on Cammy as she underwent her
little tantrum, but he didn't grace her with a response until he
was sure she was done. "Ziya will handle the money. Or did you
forget the all-out spa treatment you enjoyed yesterday?" He
motioned toward her newly-blonde hair. "I got the bill for that
right before we got on the plane. You won't be touching any
credit card of mine for a while." With that, he nodded to the
women, and placed his hand on Faith's shoulder. "What do you say
we get to work?"

Options , it was strange to have them. They actually gave him
the freedom to choose to go or not .He didn't have to ask for
permission or have to be force to do something he didn't want to
do . It was uneasy at first , then he made his decision not to
go ."I don't mean to be rebellion but cars freak me out and
people. They tend to whisper words that I can clearly hear . but
thank you anyway . " He have them a smile that could embassies
the suns radiant shine . But the prison clothes wasn't
negotiable, for good reason he understood why .
Ziya offer to measure him but he declined quickly ."I wear a
large in shirts , a 34 waist line and a 38 in length Ma'am .My
shoe size is a 10 in men. Ummm I know yall did so much for me
and I really do appreciate it but I have one favor to ask . This
locket my mom gave me and it has a picture of me and her on the
beach when I was 7 . I know I cant see it anymore. but still
its the only think I hold left of her " He show the locket to
the women. Broken in two with permitted blood stain on the outer
rim where he clutch on tight every time the guards try to take
it from him . "If its too much then I can do it myself. Matter
of fact , I feel like im being a burden now , i'm sorry for
asking "Faith grip the locket once more before placing it back
in his pocket .
Faith started to listen to the women Cami rant about her 5% off
shoes she was wearing . She tried to plead her case on how she
was more responsible with money but Cairan wasn't hearing it .
The proof was in the bill . Faith giggle , looking at both
Ciaran and Cami even though he couldn't see them though his eyes
but he like to pretend to once in a while. It made him feel
normal around them . His prison clothes and there high power
suits and dress. The awkward perfume Cami had on that smelled
like roses and breadsticks . Ziya's vibe when she was told that
she would have to be responsible for Ciaran's bank account, and
Faith .
Ciaran wanted to start training ASAP. Ciaran place his hand on
Faith's shoulder . It startle him and his reaction to it would
be over faith shoulder and slam to the ground with his arm
between Faith's armpit . Faith's base change to a serious
defensive stance . Clutching the man's arm he stared and
remember where he was and quickly snap out .
"Im so sorry sir , I....I... don't know what came over me ...

"Cammy, Ciaran does have a point for not trusting you with the
money but I think you look awesome for the fun time with the
company card. Though I think the shoes are a steal for full
price and half the taxes!" A quick giggle passed the woman's
lips before she turned her head toward Ciaran.
"I know you don't like our pet jokes but sometimes you need to
lighten up instead of being so dark and gloomy all the time. But
then again, you are a man who doesn't know how to smile at most
moments where it would come in handy when not closing a business
deal." A soft glare is shot at the man's face before a smile
ruined it. "But then again, you wouldn't be you without being
overly serious......unless....." Her words trailed off before
her body turned toward Faith when he spoke.
"Thank you for your measurements." A soft but unseen nod follows
her words. As he pulled out the locket, Ziya's heart broke in
the slightest. The last thing he had of his mother, of his
innocence, of his happiness, only to be ruined by the guards
trying to rip every shred of happiness away from him. "I would
not mind taking your locket in to get cleaned and repaired. It
would actually be an honor to restore something that means so
much to you that you would protect it with every fiber of your
being." She stood there for a moment to survey his reaction and
she would not leave without an answer.

It hardly surprised her when Ciaran's hardened exterior remained
intact through her playful rampage. Besides, he was correct
about the spa day and her carelessly spending money.
"Exactly!" she replied to Ziya. "Finally, someone understands!"
Cam smiled at Ziya but it soon faded as Faith retrieved a broken
locket. It would have been beautiful if not for the wear and
tear. There was a jewelry shop in the mall where they were
heading. Ciaran already had an account there and they knew him
quite well.
She glanced down at her wristwatch and frowned. They needed to
leave quickly if they were going to make it there in time. Cammy
gave a subtle indication of a nod goodbye and wandered out the
door after giving Ziya a chance to catch up.
The sun glared down at them as the cab driver swerved in and out
of traffic without being mindful of the speed limit. Cam checked
the time again and sighed dramatically. She had jet lag and
Ciaran hadn't helped her mood either.
"So, Faith," she turned to looked at Ziya with a devious grin.
"He's pretty hot, especially for a blind guy. It's a bit of
fresh air to have another man around that isn't so serious all
the time."
Parking behind the mall, the cab allowed time for them to exit
the vehicle after paying the driver. Like always, the mall was
packed with tourists and locals both. It would have been
difficult to navigate through the crowds to find the destination
if she had not been so familiar with the place.
Before they were able to make it to the clothing stores, they
passed a shipping center with a cardboard sign that read, 'TEN
DOLLAR FORTUNES!'. Fishing into her pocket, she withdrew twenty
dollars and grinned.
"Looks like we are getting our fortunes!" she exclaimed and then
slipped into the door, taking a moment to hold the door open for
her, waiting to see what her choice would be.

Ciaran looked down at Ziya as she went on about him being "dark
and gloomy" He was somewhat disappointed. She was usually the
one who understood a business mentality, even when Cammy didn't.
That was one of the reasons he had chosen her. But it was clear
that when the two were together, it was going to be a party.
Ciaran wasn't interested in games, not when there was work to be
done. Work hard now, play hard later. But then she said
something that caught him off guard...
"you wouldn't be you without being overly
serious......unless....."
There had never been an "unless" He was serious because he had
to be. But after the night before, he was going to have to do
some internal searching, and make sure that he wasn't losing
touch of himself. Also, he and Ziya would have to talk. The look
that he gave her was indicative of the discussion that was to
come at some point soon. He nodded as she made her offer to
Faith. Her initiative made him proud, however, he also felt
something tugging at him. Something familiar... He then sent the
women on their way. There was work to be done on all parts.
It was at that moment that Faith attempted to flip Ciaran. It
was a reflex, obviously, but the CEO had reflexes as well. He
quickly shifted hiis right leg, locking the crook of his knee
behind Faith's, he then forced his left palm under Faith's arm,
blocking off his leverage, and locking the two men in a
standoff, until Faith came to his senses and apologized. "It's
fine, Faith." Ciaran said calmly. "It's a survival instinct. You
just have to realize that you're safe here. You don't have to be
on your guard all the time now." He straightened his tie,
before changing his mind. "Let me get changed and we'll get
started."
He then headed off to his room, returning only moments later in
a pair of grey sweatpants, and a black, sleeveless, V-Neck
T-shirt. "I was going to set up your training area in the
basement, but I figure you're probably tired of being
underground. What do you say we practice out back?" He lead
Faith out to the back yard, where a large, metal umbrella pole
extended from the ground. The bottom and top of the pole were
wrapped in a rubbery substance. "Your first exercise is simple.
All you have to do is channel an electric charge from one
finger, to the metal pole." The pole would naturally attract the
electricity, keeping him from accidentally firing at something
else. "Your challenge is to do that without burning the umbrella
at the top. For now, the Rubber will aid you in that, but as
time passes, I'll remove more and more of the rubber, and you'll
be expected to control it on your own." He then took a seat
nearby. "Are you ready?"

They where at a stand still, a man in his position would need to
know some t type of hand to hand combat skills just incase if he
was in a situation where his people couldn't complete the task.
But still that was an expert move and little people knew how to
counter it . He might wasn't just the smarted person in this
group but also the strongest . Something to be feared mentally
and physically , Faith took note on it ." That was a good
counter sir , and again I apologize , something in me just snap
. I'm not use to having my guard down . Even when I'm sleep I'm
aware. Jail house combat was meant to clear and end people in
one swoop "
His mind couldn't rattle on that right now ,Ciaran had a task
for him to perform that sound easy. .
"Just the finger tip ? shouldn't be that hard to perform " So I
thought
His first attempt was a fail , The umbrella didn't even catch on
fire , it blew up . Faith imagine himself looking down as the
remains rained down on him .
"I didn't even but any percentage into it , sir I'm confuse "
The task seem simple in ear but as Faith tried again and again
the umbrella either blew up or burn to ashes . "Stupid rod "
Faith's eyes started to glare a crimson red . Then the cuff
activated , They also flared a similar color . Faith then aim
his hand towards the rod and nothing came out but a little shock
that made the umbrella explode . He finally took a deep breath
and exhale his anger and restarted his task again.
