Snippet #2814850

Alex had been keeping his responses to Agent Moore vague and brief whenever anything was asked of him. Granted there hadn’t been too many questions thrown his way yet, he was asked if he was the one that somehow stopped the entire tsunami wave that was caused by Cannonade. He tried his best not to fidget in his seat made for brutes. Thank god, he didn’t want to be standing during this. Jemma woke up from her dozing against his shoulder, there hadn’t been any drooling this time at least.
The two had traded looks occasionally during the whole exchange, both really wanting this to be over with already and to somehow get out of SINS grasp with no strings attached.

The mention of detention caused Alex to reflexively tense up and prepare to bail when the justice department agent entered the tent to put an end to things. The seemingly one sided argument was confusing enough, then something kid decided to make its entrance. Was that a jet? Who the hell could be showing up here by jet and have clearance?? Some super team or politicians, maybe a hero organization rep with an army of lawyers to bail out the lucky people in the room that were actually legal.

The tent doors opened and a rather distinguished looking elderly man entered. And proceeded to claim that every super present being “interrogated” was in his employment. Alex blinked owlishly.

What?

George Carlisle Hughes. This man had the air about him like he could afford any heat that would come from making that statement and then some. This was an obvious out. Alex bit the inside of his cheek in thought. So it was either roll with this . . . . . or be left with SINS. He shook his head. This might as well be happening, today is already so damn strange and terrible. If this got him away from the damn suits he might as well take it. Should also keep Jericho safe if they play along too.

A quick look around showed a few people present already going along with the old man’s play. Guess we roll with it. Alex got up and straightened himself to his full height. ”Kept us waiting huh boss?” he gave a smirk of a smile and took a few steps in George’s direction.
