"What is it Angela?" said a slightly deep voice with a touch of impatient sprinkled on top. A holographic image of a slender and athletic female in a business suit was projected from the same the device.
"You have been summoned, Alex." said the hologram wiith a soft husky voice. "I can brief you on the way but it means you are going to have to miss playing your games today." Alex stopped and let out another sigh.
"Well, maybe they will let me play with my "toys" since I don't get to play with my games." Alex paused, "Angela, send crates 0924 and 5510 to the the locations we will be sent to.
"Where we going, Angela?" Alex asked. He could've have figured out quite easily but that is why he built Angela. Someone to talk to that was on the same level as him.
"England," Angela stopped. "We have just been sent an order to investigate in Russia as well. Where shall we go first?" she inquired as she sent instructions to the automated jet at a near by airport to get prepped. A car drove up and stopped in front of the door as Alex had just stepped out. The back door swung open with no one inside and no driver to be seen.
"We'll go to England first but brief me on these Russian victims with these interesting marks on their necks first. I'll patch into the security cameras around the crime scene to see if anything can be seen."
----------------------
Hours later the jet lands on British soil and soon another car pulls up, again empty, "Take me some place public." Alex stopped right outside the car and opened his trench coat and with a low hum twenty tiny glints of metal flew out and took to the air above Alex. They were mechanical birds with anti-grav wings that allowed them to fly. "Watch the sky and ground for anyone that follows." he said. They flew up and circled lazily in the air at different altitudes and occasional landed on a building or a sign. These little guys were his ears and eyes and had kept him safe many times.
Alex connected to his satellite which then connected to his base computer. He then commenced watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail(in his head). Laughing soon filled the moving car.
