Everything seemed to be running smoothly at the beginning. Ivar and Jessica made it in and out without too much trouble, and we made it to the rescue site in good time. But as we pulled up things got a little sketchy. Rachel was getting nervous and was almost refusing to go, not to mention my colleague MB was so nervous I thought he'd wet himself.

"Get a hold of your self!" I commanded, "you've got to be strong for the kids." It was pointless trying to reason with him, so I just tried to ignore him.

"You're on, Ray." Jared commanded.

Ray nodded and everything went black as planned. Luckily Jared had given us some night vision goggles so we could watch the action. Sterling had built in night vision. A couple of kids approached Jared and Rachel, but were easily overcome. Once they were inside Raymond was doing a play by play of the action.

As expected, they were intercepted by a few of Alex's lackeys. After a moment Jared came over the intercom, "send back up. MB you should be in here!" Even though it wasn't actually night, the illusion was all he needed to activate his power.

He didn't respond, so I just pushed open the door and shoved him out. "If you're too cowardly to save your own wife, you don't deserve to ride in my car." hopefully that would motivate him.

He looked a little hurt, and shocked, and even tried to get back in the car. I shook my head and pointed to the building. Like a dog with his tail between his legs, MB made his way to the building to join the combat.
