Mission: Surveillance.
Agent: Specialist.
Time: 19:43
Location: New York City Rooftops
New York City was truly the city that didn’t sleep. No matter what happened, no matter the time - people would be moving around constantly. It was a good choice to hide from people; not a the best choice, but a good one. If the dust wasn’t kicked up from the Subject making himself known to the world, it would have taken months to find him. Instead, it took weeks. They knew he was here and sent in someone with an invested interest in his recapture - The Specialist. She knew better than to just rush though, breaking someone took time and she needed to know his habits on the outside.
So - stage one was a lot of waiting. Watching the streets, crossing off ones that she never saw him on. This particular night, she was close to the Bronx - sitting on the rooftops and waiting, a listening device and a case sitting at her side as she watched the streets silently. Focused, determined and single minded. Her eyes jumped from person, device in her hand as she listened to conversations thirty seconds at a time. Before moving onto the next person.
She knew from a brief snippet into their lives that they knew nothing about Subject 16, moved on to the next. Today seemed like a bust, really. No one knew about what she was looking for and based off past experience - even if they did, they would probably fight her for it. To give Subject 16 credit, he did one thing correctly.
He made a lot of friends. She knew about Mettle and Kore - Spiderbite and Scramjet. All people that were somewhat impossible to touch without drawing attention. For now, she had to play the hand she was dealt; the longest game. Waiting, listening and following leads.
